II. TRYON THERE has been considerable expan­ sion in the amount of money in circula­ tion since the campaign in 1896. HON. DON M. DICKINSON says the so- called Democratic party 4 'is nothing more than the Populist party now." ECKLES hit the mark when he de­ clared that Bryan himself is the "para­ mount issue" in the present campaign. THE per capita circulation of the United States has expanded from, $21.35 on June 1, 1896, to $36.50 on June 30, 1900--a gain of $5.25 in four years. SINCE Mr. Bryan began to tell the people four years ago that what they wanted was more money, they have added at the rate of $135,210,000 annual­ ly to the circulation medium. THE refunding of bonds, under the new currency law, has so far brought a net profit of $8,000,.000 to the govern ment, in the saving of interest. How is that for good financiering ? WITH an additional $7,000,000 to in­ crease the Navy, we should see some good results in that branch of the United States defense force of which the American people are so justly proud. FOUR years ago, without a dollar and in debt, today worth $100,000 in cash, is the record of one family through grow- ing wheat in Oklahoma. They"Were not scared by Bryan's gloomy predictions of roll was reduced by $16,820,000. During the fiscal year just ended the Pension Bureau has issued 100,000 certificates, and payments for the year on account of pensions will exceed $140,000,000. THE census bureau has sent out a statement intended as an answer to thousands of letters asking for figures shown by the census in various locali­ ties. By showing the routine through which the returns from each enumera­ tor's district must go, the impossibility of giving the information at this time is made apparent. As fast as the offic­ ial count is completed the totals will be bullitened at the census bureaus, cities being taken first. THE Kansas City Democratic plat­ form accuses the Republican Adminis­ tration of forming an alliance with Eng­ land, which is . untrue. But the same platform opposes legislation for the building of American ships for our for­ eign carrying trade, preferring to leave the business in the hands of foreign (chiefly British) ships that earn $200, - 000,000 a year that the Republicans are anxious to keep at home through the construction and employment of Ameri­ can instead of foreign ships in our for­ eign carrying. THE supreme court of. the- IT. S.- has rendered a decision in a chicken case carried from Newton, IoWa. One neigh­ bor was greatly pestered by the chick­ ens of another who thought that it was nothing for a neighbor to get mad about, to have a dozen chickens digging in every soft place in his lawn and orna­ menting his board walks. The pestered neighbor thought differently and shot some of the chickens. The matter went to law and was carried from court to court until it reached the supreme court of the United States. That body decided that a person had a right to rid his premises of all pests such as chick­ ens, when, he does not want them there, and clases all such fowfs as wild game, liable to be killed by whoever wants to do so. AMERICA AGAINST THE WORLD. In his speech at the Maine Republi­ can convention Senator Frye called at tention to a few of the things the United States is first in. The record is an astonishing one, and as gratifying as it is informing: "Our wheat crop in 1898 was larger than that of any other nation--23 per cent of the world's crop. 4 'Our corn crop for the same year was ten times larger than that of any other nation--72 per cent of the world's crop. "Our export of provisions was three times greater than that of any other nation. "Our cotton crop was five times great­ er than any other nation--75 per cent of the world's product. 4'Our coal production last year ex­ ceeded that of any other nation--31 per cent of the world's production. "Our pig iron production last year exceeded that of any other nation--33 per cent of the world's production. "Our copper production was more than one half that of the whole world. "Our railroads were six times .the length of those of any other nation." AH ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AJJ ORDINANCE PROHIBITING NON-RESI­ DENTS FROM DOING PLUMBING OR GAS FIT­ TING IN THE VILLAGE OF M'HENRY WITH­ OUT FIRST OBTAINING A LICENSE. ORDINANCE NO. 22.

THE calm, wise judgement of Wm. McKinley appals to the solid, mature element all over the country, while "Teddy" is the idol of the boys every­ where. The combination can't be beat, and it already has the country goiag its way. 7 SPEAKING of the effect of the Foraker Wll upon Cuba and the Cubans, ' 'La Lucha, published in ^Havana, says: "It has been of untold benefit to the island, and will stand as a monument to the sincerity of purpose on the part of the American Government. FIVE hundred and forty thousand dollars an hour, more than $9,000 a minute, or $150 per second, is the rate at which the people have increased the circulating medium of the country in the last four years, if we count the ac­ tual working day of eight hours' dura tion. OLD soldiers should remember that in 1894, under president Cleveland's ^Democratic Administration, the pension Drowned at Algonquin. William Carpenter, son of Edward Carpenter, of Evanston, was drowned at Algonquin Wednesday evening of last week at 6 o'clock. The little fellow was only 15 years old, but a bright, cheerful boy. His parents have a sum­ mer cottage near the lime kiln, about a mile from Algonquin and spend ©very summer there. The boy had gone fishing about 4 o clock and with pole and bait went down to the end of the pier. For a while the coachman sat and watched the child as he enjoyed the sport. Just before 6 the coachman was called away and did not return for some time. The absence of the boy was noticed and his hat and pole were found on the pier. The suspicion of the family was aroused by his absence and search begun. His body was found soon after in about six feet of water, near the place where he fell in. He was taken'out of the water and everything done to revive him; but to no avail. The body was conveyed to Chicago by the mourning friends and relatives, and the funeral was held from the house in Evanston Friday afternoon. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.
