The occasion which makes Its npccla
appeal to the gratitude , the rcverenci
and the patriotism of the American pee
pie Is again at hand , with the force o
that appeal undlmlnlshed , but If pea
slide stronger than ever before. Uvcry
whore pivpa rat Ions for the observanci
of Decoration day show that there Is m
decline In the reverence of our iwopli
for the dead soldiers of the union , n <
loss of Interest In the beanllful ciiston
by which for n.ore than a qmirter "f '
century u grateful nation has maul
fested Its care and affection for tin
memory of the men whose valor prc
served It. It Is most honorable to tin
American character that such Is tin
fact , for our devotion to the observanci
of Decoration tlay goes far to refute tin
accusation ( hut as n people we an ? sordid
did and materialistic , with little rcgan
for anything that does not lead ti
money getting.
It has been said that the country I
blessed whose tombs treasure the ashe
of heroes. If that be true no country I
so blessed as this republic , the graves o
whose dead soldiers nre In almost ever ;
cemetery throughout the land. Kron
these resting places of American psi
trlots there springs a gospel which toll
the saving power of self-sacrifice , th
uplifting energy of n noble and 1111
Hellish patriotism , and the Inspiring In
tlnence of heroic dentil. The graves o
our dead heroes tell of a larger llbertj
the greater security of free Institution !
a stronger union , the Inestimable con :
pensatlons of loyalty and valor neve
surpassed If ever.equaled In the world'
history. Thus these dead soldiers of th
union still live In the great work tin- ,
achieved , and In this sense they wl
live forever.
To bury the graves of our heroic don
n Mowers and brighten their names wit
eulogy Is to pay in part the great del ;
of gratitude we owe them , and th
beii"rtls are all for ourselves and thox
who shall come after us. In the uplif
Ing influence of tills occasion , in its ii
splratlon to a higher patriotism , In II

value of loyal citizenship , there is abm
dant compensation for all the time an
effort that may be expended in II

In the current discussions of th
money question considerable stress I
being laid upon the existence of so\
oral large classes of obligation :
amounting in the aggregate to million
upon millions of dollars , whic
under a depreciated currency won !
entail irreparable loss upon tli
people In every walk of life. For o :
ample , it Is readily seen that over
depositor In a bank would , If the com
try were reduced to a silver basis , dra'
out his savings In dollars worth enl
half those that he put in. Every pel
sloner would have the value of his pei
slon cut In two. I-Mxed salaries woul
be practically reduced a half. Evei
man holding a" life Insurance polk
or a lire Insurance policy would be ab
to realize only half of what he expeclc
and had been paying for.
There Is , however , one class of sin
liar obligations which affect every pe
son In the country which has not r
colved the attention that It deserve
It la the amount of money in circnl :
tlon that under a regime of free sllvt
coinage would be reduced to the san
basis as the depreciated stiver della
Ordinarily it is assumed that the on
outstanding currency that would suITi
would be the stock of standard silvi
dollars In circulation , npproxinmtii :
some ? , " } ,000,000. Once in a while it
remembered that we have $ CO,000,0 <
of subsidiary silver , which will nece
sarlly fall along with the larger coin
But the fact that all of our paper cu
rency , with the exception of the go
certificates , Is convertible into currei
coin and must lluctuate In value wli
that coin , nt once adds to the loss tin
free coinage would force upon the poi
man. September 1 of last year the :
were In circulation $ UT , ( KiSOuU of silvi
certificates. Each of these represon
silver dollars In the treasury and If tl
dollar becomes a 130-cent dollar w
represent no more. There were also
circulation $5l'J.V.i17l > 77 In trensui
notes and $2S1,77. ( ,1W ( In United Stat
notes and . < ? r > SXr ( ! > ,000 In currency cc
tlilcates , all of which arc interchang
able with the silver dollar. Still fn
ther , there were In circulation ov
? i00,000,000 ; In national bank note
which the banks promise to pay mere
In lawful money of the United Stat
and which they would as soou pay
no-cent sliver dollars as not. Of tl
total money In circulation In Septoi

than ifrUio.OOO.OOO consisted of gold ni
gold certificates , and more than ? 1OS (

The republicans of Ohio held tin
state convention earlier than usual tl
year , which may be Interpreted
meaning that they Intend to proseci
an aggressive campaign. There li

What will contribute most , however , i

The plank In the Ohio republican pint
form which will command most attei
tlon from the country Is the one rolal

currency upon conditions that wl
maintain Its parity with gold , which I
true bimetallism. It demands that th
purchasing and debt-paying power c
the two metals shall be at all time
equal , which Is fair and honest. Ther
had been some apprehension that th
Ohio republicans would waver on thl
question and commit themselves to soni
sort of nniblguous proposition thu
would admit of almost any interpret !

imetalllc sentiment of the country wl
ml no fault with the declaration c

The decision in the Debs case brlnj
jnt one minor point prominently , an
that Is that a person has a much betti

house of congress , or a. committee i

authority , tries to Impose a pennll

sure to get off on a technicality I
taking his case before a regular judlcl
body. The precedents in this line

On the other hand , the plain violntk
of a court order Is viewed In a mm
more serious light in the appellate j
rlsdlctlou. In the llrst Instance tl
question involves the exercise of j
dlcial power by an extra-judicial bed
In the second It involves the extent

The decision in the Oregon She
Line receivership is by no means i

NEW YORK. May 29. The English stall !
tlctan , Michael G. Mulhall , publishes In tli
Juno number of the North American Hi
view , Just Issued , an article on "Tho Powt
and Wealth of the United States. " M :
MuluaU's conclusion Is tnat "If wo take
survey ot mankind In ancient or modcr
times as regards the physical , mechanic ;
and Intellectual force of nations , wo fin
nothing to compare with tbe United State
In this present year of 1S05 and that th
United States possesses by far the greates
productive power In the world. Ho assert
that the absolute effective force ot th
American people Is now more than thrc
times what It was In I860 and that th
United States possesses almost as muc
energy as Great Britain , Germany an
Franco collectively , and t ! at the ratio fal
Ing to each American Is more than who
two Englishmen or Germans have at thel
disposal.
Ho points out by a careful comparison bt
tweeu the conditions In these different cout
tries that an ordinary farm hand In th
United States raises as much grain as thrt
in England , four in France , five In Gei
many or six In Austria , Ono man I
America can produce as much flour as wl
feed 230 , whereas in Europe ono man feed
only thirty persons. Mr. Mulhall call
special attention to the fact that the Inte
lectual power of the great republic Is 1
harmony with the Industrial and mochanlca
S7 per cent of the total population over I
years of ago being able to read anil wrlto.
"It may bo fearlessly asserted , " said he
"that In the history of the human race n
nation over before possessed 41,000,000 it
structed citizens. "
The writer sets forth In regard to th
growth of the wealth of the United State
that the average annual Increment froi
1821 to 1890 was 901 milliards of dollar :
which sum Is one milliard over the tou
wealth of Great Britain.
Classifying the whole wealth of the unto
under the two heads of urban and rural , li
finds that rural or agricultural wealth h
only quadrupled In forty years , while nrba
wealth has multiplied slxteen-fold. In a
Important scries of figures It Is shown tht
the "rise In wealth and the Increase 1
wages came almost band In hand. " In dca
Ing with tha development of farm valus
Mr. Mulhall makes the following statemen
"If the United States had no urban populi
tion or Industries whatever the advance <
agricultural Interests would bo enough t
claim tbo admiration ot mankind , for It h :
no parallel In history. "

Whereas , During recent years the courl
have been Issuing Injunctions against me
engaged In peaceable strikes and restralr
Ing them from being pro-sent In the vlclt

the least unlawfulness having uccurre <
those pecking these Injunctions having HI
cured them by expressing fears that viol ;
tlons of the law might occur , and ,
Whereas , The ease with which Injum

labor whoso employes may take unite
action to better their condition , and.
Whereas , The courts In each succecdln
Injunction Issued by them have Increase
the scope and severity of the restrlctlor
therein contained until It would seem tin

Whereas , The nupreme court of the Unite

therefore be It
Hesolved. That we , In convention nssen

regard It as the means through which
steadily take away from the people t

Agricultural Department Wilt Next Ycnr
Adopt n Natr Sjulom ,
WASHINGTON , May 23. A echcme to
make an Important change In the rystem ot
crop reporting In about to bo put Into opera
tion by the Agricultural department. U will
provide for detailed reports from a vast
corps of correspondents covering ovcry town
ship In the country , and It Is expected to bu
as thorough and complete a plan as will bo
possible lo carry Into effect. A correspond
ent will bo located In every township and hp
will bo required to report promptly to the
department. The plan will first embrace ojily
two ity Mates , ranging from Now York ' .o the
Innermost ot the central elates ; but these
comprise 90 per cent of the wheat area. They
Includu 1.3S9 counties , and the greatness of
the gchcino Is apparent when U Is taken Into
cotiilduratlon that the number of-townships
In a county average about fifteen. This will
bo use ) In conjunction with tbo sydtcni now
In vogue , each of these reports acting as a
check on the other , The present system pro
vides for ono chief reporter In every county ,
who Is expected to properly receive and
weigh the reports of three others In the
same county. There are now about 1,800
chief correspondents about 8,000 corre
spondents In all.
Steps looking to the organization of the
personnel nf the new corres | > ondcnts of re
ports have been taken by the department
but the now plan cannot bo put In oixratlon
befdro next year. The department Is send
ing the following circular to county ofllclaU
throughout the twenty states :
A largo Increase In the sources of tutor-
million available to this division In the
preparation , of Its crop reports IH de

committee of the national board of truilc
In n locent conference on the subject of crop
reporting' with the secretary of agriculture
anil the undersigned. It Is proposed to HO-
cure If possible n capable correspondent In
each township , election district , or other
subdivision of every county. Instead of do-
pcndlnij ns heretofore upon the report of
n single correspondent in each.ott are
Invited to assist the department In carryIng -
Ing out thlM oblect bv mihmlltliiK the
names of two or more residents In each
township or other subdivision of thu county ,
stating- their cnlllnjr and address. It Is
not desirable to limit the names submitted
to farmers oxcluslvolv. No doubt millers ,
physicians , grocerymen ami others may bu
found well uunlllled for the put pose. The
object of securing more than one nnmo Is
that the department may bo nblo to com
municate directly with the second person
nntncil should the llrst be found unavailable.
For this reason also you are requested to
submit the niunca In the order of their
probable availability. The only con idurn-
tlons which should weigh with you In
making a choice are the parties' opportuni
ties for keeping well Informed In regard to
crop matters' and the Intelligence and con
scientiousness necessary to supply Intelli
gent and honest answers to our Inquiries.

Another plan , that of licensing all the
threshers who ate to bo required to make
the reports , has been under consideration ,
but It Is not regarded as feasible. The
threshers would fcave to bo licensed by the
state , and muat therjfjre report directly to
tha stato. This would cause a very material
delay lu tran mlttal.
