$500, 900 ,ooo. 90 Of Asset Currency.

During the closing hours Of the
congress which has just adjourned
a bill was passed providing for the
issuance of half a billion of new as
set currency and no shout was heard
about fifty cent Or ten cent dollars.
Twelve years ago, when the demo-
Gratis proposed the coinage Of silver
dollars to relieve the money strin-
gency of that period, many of the
men who voted last Saturday for
the new asset currency measure
called it dishonest to make possible
such an increase in the circulating
medium.
Cleveland vetoed, and these re-
publicans voted to sustain his veto,
q bill permitting the coinage Of
$5O.OOO,OOO,0O OF silver bullion
then owned by the government.
Now they consider it advisable to
provide for ten times fifty millions
of new money based on paper assets
And the circulating medium is now
more than third larger per capita
than it was in 1896.

There is No Twilight Zone Between
Nation and State.

] am a strict constructionist, if
that means to believe that federal
government is one of delegated
powers and that constitutional limi-
tations should be carefully obser-,
we'd. i am jealous Of any encroach-
ment upon the right f,the state, be-
lieving that the states are as indies
tructible as the union is indissolu-
BILE. 1t is, however, entirely consis-
tent with this theory to believe, as 1
do believe, that it is just as imper-
alive that the general government
shall discharge the duties delega-
ted to it, as it is that the states
shall exercise the powers reserved to
them. There is no twilight zone be-
tween the nation and the state. in
which exploiting interests can take
refuge from both, and my observa-
ton that most-not all, but most
OF the contentious over the line be-
tween nation and state are traceable
to predatory corporations which are
trying to shield themselves from de
served punishment, or endeaSoring
to prevent needed restraining legis,

mars as Prophet.

Study of Mars proves that planet to
occupy earthwise in some sort the post
of prophet, for in addition to the side
lights 1t throws upon our past 1t is by
way of foretelling our future. 1t ena-
bles lis to no mean extent to foresee
what eventually will overtaEe the
earth in process of time, inaslnuch us
from scrutiny of Mars coming events
cast not their shadows, but their light,
before:
1t is the planets size that fits it thus
for the role of seer. Its smaller bulk
has caused it to age quicker than our
earth. and in consequence 1t has long
since passed through that stage es its
planetary career, which the earth at
present is experiencing and has adj
vanced TO n further one, to which In

not overwhelmed beforehand by other

The Wait Till After Election Excuse

The session Of Congress, which
will probably be thing Of the past
before this comment is printed, has
brushed aside and continued practi-
cally all Legislation for the common
good. The advocates and friends Of
Legislation beneficial to the masses
have been met at all times by the
republican leaders with the urgent
request: Wait till after election. :"
Why wait till after election? Is it
because the republican party does
not dare to offend "the interests"
which are forever demanding special
privileges at the common cost?
No party should be kept in a
position to control the legislation Of
this country, the policies Of which
are shaped in any way by the enc
mics of the people. The party de-
serving power should be willing at
all times to enact legislation needed
to promote justice and protect hui
man rights.

Why tho Tables Are Green.

Billiards i; ore OF the oldest games
I know Of" said Il sporting man. ut
is older even than croluet, whichs-was
played by French kings a great many
hundred years ago. BUT, while billiards
is so old. IN bel none of the devotees
of the iyorics and the cue can tell me
why Il billiard table covering is green.
The billiard table Is always green.
We'll, the. answer Is simple enough.
Billiards is merely Il corruption of the
good old English game OF bowls, which
was played ON a beautifully green
lawn. On rainy and winter days, how
ever, your English sportsman couldn't
enjoy his bowls, SO some clever Johnny
conceived the scheme of playing bowls
indoors on his imitation green lawn. It
was too much of clnch, however,
playing this game with the hand in
such close quarters, so the cue was
introduced to put skill at a premium.
That's why billiard tables are green. y"

They would make lightning
change artists go some, wouldn't
they? When the circulating med
ium was not two-thirds as much per
capita as at present, they were OPP
posed to any increase. In their
judgment or at any event in their
talk, all that was needed was more
confidence. But now they have
abandoned their confidence theories,
and to guard against = recurrence
of the money panics OF 1896 and

Divine Fer Fish.

A unique method of fishing is en-
ployed by natives along the Panlaung
river. Two dugout boats are employed
about thirty feet long, with two men
with long poles. one in the bow, the
other at the stern punting the boat
along. They stretch a long rope made
of bamboos and plated grass about IL
hundred yards long apd weighted about
every ten yards with big stones: This
they let down into the water, and the
fish are frightened toward the bank.
The divers then jump in three at
time, remaining down about twenty
seconds. They carry gaffs about eight
cen inches long and fishhooks with
cords attached. When they strike n
fish they let so the GAIT, and the fish is
hauled up in the boat. A big fire is
lighted on the river bank, and the men
warm themselves before it when not

The Real Cause of Present Inter Party
Contests.

The movement to secure public
regulation Of corporate and preda-;
tory wealth is responsible for the
inter-party contests in both Of the
great parties of the country. The
democratic party was the first to
suffer on account Of the movement
The man that that party made
president turned against his party
and did all in his power to destroy
it, because his party insisted upon
the enactment of better laws
for the protection Of the com
mon people. Cleveland and his plu-
tocratic followers succeeded in de-
feating the democratic party. but
the movement remained to perplex
and divide the republican party. 1t
remained as every public question
must remain until it is settled
