Secretary Carlisle denies the re

while holding- his present office.
The president appears to be the
only member of the administration
who has made a fortune.
That administration democratic
delegation from Nebraska may after
all conclude that there is no use for
it to present itself at the convention
doors in Chicago, only to have them
slammed in its face as soon as the
body organizes. Bee.
Vice president Stevenson predicts
that "there will be a heao of vest-

pocket voting- tor the republican
ticket by sound money democrats"
this year; and there is every reason
to believe that for once in his life
he is right.

The mints of the United States
turned out last month, in a cold
bug era, a mdlion and a half silver
dollars. This was the average pro
duction of silver dollars in fifteen
years during the halcyon period of
free and unlimited coinage of silver
from the foundation of the srovern
ment down to the crime of '73. It's
curious how the old thinjr works.
But in those times the silver dollar
wasn't the "cheap dollar" and no
body wanted to coin it- Journal.
Referring to the assertion that
the only way to meet cheap foreign
labor competition is to adopt free
silver coinage, Senator Morrill
points out that exchauges between
the United States and Japan, for
instance, could be equalized only
by reducing American wages to the
Japanese standard or raising Jap
anese wages to the American level.
-Free coinage of silver of silrer as
a remedy against Japanese or any
other cheap foreign labor, he adds,
"would prove very much like tak
ing refuge in a pest-house to avoid
the plague."
Some of the shrewd politicians
are trying to kill off Auditor Moore's
gubernatorial boom let by bringing J
i r i .
in a constitutional atnentlmeist
which provides that -no person
shall be eligible to the oSce of gov
ernor or lieutenant-governor who
shall not have attained to the asreof
30 years, etc, and none of the offi
cers ot the executive department
shall be eligible to any other state
office during the period for which
they shaH have been elected." The
supreme court has been asked to
determine the matter but it looks
as if it was going a good way
around to kill of a candidate.

in riew of the fact that there seems
to be some disposition to make a
fig-ht against mutual insurance com
panies. Reviewing- the work the
order has accomplished, he savs:
-In the brief period of its existence
it has poured into the empty pocket
books ot the widows and orphans
of its deceased members, more than
sixty-five millions of dollars. It
has thus saved 32,560 families from
poverty and want. Allowing- an
averag-e of five to the family, it has
sheltered aad. protected 162.500
widows and orphan children from
the dangers incident to the death
of the husband and father."
"Irrigation's the thing," says
ChaunceyM. Depew. after a month's
trip through the western states.
Like every one else who enters the
domain of King Water. Dr. Depew
wa converted quickly and easily,
and he has v.cv: returned to the east
to tell the farmers of that section
a few of the "blessings of aridity."
What matters it if the water does
cost something, it's cheaper than
fertilizers, and a crop is always as
sured. More power to the silver

Statisticaa tell us that in no year

this matter, for their are vast
