~SaMUEL GOMPERS, president of the “~“American Federation of Labor, has lissued an open letter in response to a letter from Secretary Gage, regarding the latter’s currency plan. Gompers says that gold is too scarce and that Gage’s policy would give banks the monopoly. It would enrich but few, and he says that wages began to fall . after silver was demonetized. '

'THE Indianapolis Journal says: The midwinter season of holiday "trade which has been exceptionally good. is likely to be followed by a period of comparative dullness. This will be no cause for discouragement, for it is incident to the season. ‘There is reason to believe that the favorable influences which have beeh operating to produce better conditions will continue, and that the spring trade will open early with 8 marked revival all along the line. .- | :

THE announcement has ‘been made upon’seemingly good authority, that Hon. Hugh Dougherty the Bluffton banker, will be a candidate for the democratic nomination - for State ‘Treasurer. Mr. Dougherty was one of the few democratic bankers who stood by their party 4m 1896, and he made 8 number of telling speeches during the campaign. He will make a strong candidate, is a thorough going Democrat, and one of nature’s noblemen. It will take & good man to defeat Mr. ‘Dougherty. -

MoRE rumors of suffering at Dawson -City have just reached the Northwest. From them it seems that the recent pen pictures of the horrors in our press were drawn 1n none too murky colors. The necessities of life are selling at exhorbitant prices. and the weather is such that the miners can’' do little or nothing on their claims. Many are destined to die of starvation and sufs= fering unless government aid reaches them in time. No better lesson of the foolishness of venturing into these gold fiélds without ample funds could belmagined than the sufferings of the jpoor unfortunates now there without means. - : .

THE correspondent of the Boston‘ -Journal who has been investigating cotton manufacturing in the mouthi finds that 30 percent less is paid for ten or twelve hours’ -more labor in a week, that children of all ages are'em-*‘ ployed, because there 18 fio law to pre~ vent and because the parents, who come from the farming sections, are anxious that every child who can shall ‘earn something. The attempt to or- - ganize labor in the southern cotton ‘mills has failed, the native employes preferring to keep on good terms with - their employers. He finds that whenl the mill ownersasks it the employes will work fifteeri hours a day to fill an‘j — order. = :

AT THE recent love feast at Indianapolis, Governor Mount made a speech n, which he claimed that M¢Kinleyism and Republitanism caused the high - price of wheat. "T'he Indianapolis News, ' Republican, administers the following - well deserved rebuke to Mr. ‘Mount. " «t is hard for even the most concien= tious man to avoid playing: the dem- . agogue. Honor bright. does Gov, . Mount suppose the Dingley bill had " any thing to do with the increased - price of wheat? Heis a man of too much intelligence to think that. - Why should he make the demagogic + break, and before an assembly of lead: _ers of the party, not one of whom bewhaf he said: or supposed he _ believed it? That sort ‘of thing can “only serve to lower men’s estimation ot the governor's good sense or conpeientiousness: If he will talk that-a-way e ought to do it only in the most rimitive of the back deestricts.” =

. FrOM every direction comes favorable reports concerning the growing crops, and unless all signs fail next year will be a good .one, says the In-~ dianapolis Sentinel. No class of men is watching this with more interest than the dealers of agricultural imple‘ments. - They are looking forward to a good season and are already making preparations for it. The wheat crop ‘will undoubtedly be” large and this will cause a demand for threshers and reapers. _- S

SENATOR CHANDLER iS up 1n arms against Secretary Gage. He declares that the actions of that gentleman in-trying to re-open .the discussion on the financial question just now . is nothing more or less than . insanity, and that it will ring the knell of republican hopcs of victor for years to come. The senator should not desire to be such a straddler. The platform upon which Secretary Gage's chief was elected, promised currency reform; and the secretary wants to reform the currency— but as usual not in aecordance with the spirit of the platform. But that doesn’t matter, Platforms are written to catch votes, not to regulate official actions. it

| LOW INTEREST FOR ALL, ' The following is, a copy of a circular letter sent to Maine bankers by Fremont E."Timberlake, bank examiner of that state: *1 have no doubt your attention has been called to the recommendation of the postmaster general that congress plss a law establishing a postal savings bank system, and that you have read the many comments upon the eame which_have appeared .in the public press during the last ten days. “The adoption of any such system must ‘seriously affect the prosperity of our raviogs banks and loan and building associations, and would, 1 believe, ultimately to a wvery. large ‘extené displace them and compel them to, in some way, wind up their affairs. [ do not believe any private asscciation can successfully compete with the national government in any kind of business. Tae provisions of the proposed bill are such that but little of the money collected of the depositors would or could be invested in Maine or in any portion of the north or'east. As a matter of fact, the friends of the measure claim that for many years to come all ot the tunds would be invested in the securities of the general government. The result would be that many millions of capital would be withdrawn from the north and east and either centralized in Washington or investéd in the securities of the large cities and counties of the.westy giving those places the benefit of an extrémely low rate ot interest. The effect upon business enterprises by thus withdrawing from them the amount ot capital now obtained from savings institutions muet be disastrous. o “Witbout stating to you more fully the many objectiong.to this measure that suggest themselves to mle, I should pe pleased to have you dictate to-me, in your own way, your views upon the matter. “It is my purpose to invite the savings bank people and other prominent business men of the state to give me their views upou the sutjuect. Should the expression of opinioa in oppusition to this measure be as unanimous and as earnest as my own observation leads me to expect, I will then take some steps: to induce our representat.ves in congress -t0 oppose its passage.”’ . It isclear from the reference to the manner of investment that Mr. Tim-~ berlake had the Record’s bill in mind when writing this lJetter. In our opinion he prejudices his own cause and concedes®the benefits claimed for the bill when he says it would give to western cities' and counties ‘‘an ex tremely low rate of interest’’ We believe the passage of the bill would lower interest rates to western and southern counties, and therefore think every member of congress from those sections should vote for the measure. Mr. Timberlake is clearly in error, however, 1n assuming that eastern cities would not also be benefitted by 1 reductions in 'interest rates. I'he passage of the Record’s bill would tend to reduce interest rates to muniei palities the country over. ‘T'he reduc tions might not be so great in the east, \ where rates already are somewhat lower, but they would be sufficient to‘i be appreciable benefits. | A favorite argument against the postal bank system has b2en the con - tention that the government could not perform any kind of service as well as private individuals. Mr. limberlake bases his objections. to the system, however, on the belief that no *-private association can successfully compete with the national government+in any kind of business.”” Of course both of these contrary opinions cannot be right, and as-a matter of fact both are in part erroneous. If the government were so disposed it might indeed drive private competitors from the field. But the only object the government could have in establishing the postal savings system wolud be to, supply needs pot already satistied and that are not likely to be satisfied by private enterprise. : The postal banks and other savings instrtutions should live together and supplement each other, as they do in other countries. In France, for instance, where the postal bank system is recognized as gupp.lying a great ‘need, the deposits are only about onequarter in amount of thpse of other savings Institutions, which continue to live ‘and thrive side by side with the }postoﬂiee banks. The same thing is i’true of Italy. The savings banks of ‘Maine, as of the other New KEngland ‘state_s, are highly creditable institu\t.ions, much superior to most of the savings concerns in other parts of the country. They would not be injured by postal savings banks that would pay to depositors a smalléer rate of interest. ' One of the clearest refutations of the contention that the private associations cannot comgpete with the government is found in the moneyorder business., The postal money order system is a great convenience to thousands of people and does a large business annually, The work it ‘does has been imitated, however, by the express companies that have built up a large money-order business in competition with the postoffice department. ‘T'here is need for both and it would be an inconvenience to ‘the public at large, if either were to be abolished or driven out of business. Likewise, the postal banks and other savings banks that are trustworthy, as are those of New England, would continue to live side by side, each filling a want the other:counld not ~sul;‘:ply,v the one lugple'menti*ng the other. Mr. Timberlake's fears for the stability of the present well established Ag‘avings banks of the east are absurd on their face. They are not he'd by many of the New England savings banks managers., His concessirns as to the special benefits of the postal savings system to the west are of value in disarming western opponents. In the interest of the movement for Foatalsgym}a banks Mr. Timberlake’s letter should be given wide ‘publicity. —Chicago Record. 4 s

. A High Class Entertainment. | Last Thursday evening, at the Presbyterian church, our people were given one of the most highly entertaining musical programs ever presented in Ligonier. Anticipating a splendid concert, the auditorium was crowded long before the time for the first num ber, and the large and sppreciative audience seemed to Inspire all to their best efforts. Notwithstanding the fact, that but little time and opportunity had been had for drill, the choir was in excellent form, and under the direction of Prof. Frank L. Sack. presented their part of the program in most excellent style. We don’t think that two selections were ever better presented by a chorus in Ligouier. than those of Thursday evening. The opening overture, Medora, by Gruenwald, by Sack’s full orchestra, was well rendered. It was given with a ftinish and expression that showed the compass of the orchestra in fine style. Several well arranged accompaniments were given by the orchestra. . 'The vocal solos by Mrs. S. J. Straus. ‘Mrs. B. F. Peters and Mrs. Lou J. Dunning were highly appreciated by ‘ all, and each was generously applauded ‘but the feature of the evening’s en~ tertainment was the. violin solo, by Miss Mate Sack. who rendered ¢‘Vieuxtemps Fantasie Caprice.”’ in a manner that was a revelation to: her friends and a surprise to those stho had not been so fortunate as to hear the young lady for several years. Her executions were indeed marvelous, and the sweet melody that she brought out of her violin. enraptured all who heard s her¢ ~ Paul Palmer Knapp, ot Chicuago, gave severa' highly appreciative solos ‘upon the violoncello. Prof. Knapp is a fine performer ‘The quartette. by Miss Anna Sack. piano; Miss Mate Sack, violin, Mr. Knapp, viotoncello and Prof 'F. L. Sack, viola, played Beethoven’s Opes 16, 1n ‘excellent form In fact it was one of the best features of the program. All in all it was a complete success. Prot. k. L. Sack, who arranged the program and directed the orchestra and chorus, as well as C. G. Keehn, who gave his attention to the details, are entitled to great credit for the splendid entertainment presented, We hope to see a series of concerts arranged under the direction" of these gentlemen They can certainly make a success of any future concert presented.

Waterloo Nightwatchman Murdered

Last Thursday night a little after midnight C. E. Cox, the Waterloo night policeman and private watchman, wa: murdered by a couple of vicious tramps that he had been watching for several hours. = Cox had gone home at a little after 11 o'clock and while there. told his wife that two tramps had been giving him considerable trouble. When he again went out Mrs. Cox admonished him to be careful. ' This was the last seen of the man alive. William McDonald. formerly a resident of this city, who has rooms in the business district, was awskened by several shgts and later heard someone say: ‘‘He hit me in the leg, but I got him.” Everything tben beécame quiet. A few moments later the night clerk at the hotel diss covered the watchman lying on the sidewalk near the L.ake Shore station almost dead.. The alarm was given at once; but the villians had fled, The dying man never regained conscious: ness. ‘ __'l'ke feilows after the encounter with Cox, it seems, went to a barn in the west part of the town, where after dressing the wounded leg of the mur: derer, they took an o'd blind horse and rode southeast toward Garrett. -After going about four miles they stole a buggy and harness and hitebing up drove to Garrett, arriving fhere 'in time to catch a west bound freight train.- Friday night a man who was badly wounded in the leg was found in,Chicago where he had just alﬁghted from a B & O, train.» He was at once put under arrest. = He claimed that he got bis wound at Elkhart but his story did not hang together. He was rec~ ognized as one of the tramps who was in Waterloo the day before the shoots ing. Cox was about 35 years of age and leaves a wife and one child. He ?arried an insurance of $lOOO on his ife. : Later advices states ' that Charles Johnson, one of the two tramps with whom night watchman Cox of Wat erloo, battled until he himselt was killed, and who made his way to Chicago with a bad wound, in his leg, died on the table while tnd-:rgoing an amputation of the injured member. Johnson was identified by the deputy sheriff of Dekalb county as one of the men wanted. .

Had a Like Experience Heve,

W. B. Loomis, for the past four years finance keeger of the local lodge K. O. T. M., at Elkhart has skipped and with him it seems about $l,OOO belonging to the lodge. Loomis was recently succeeded by a new finance keeper and when asked for a report, did not give It. This started an investigation and it developed that Loomis had made no remittance to the great camp officials since October, and the local lodge stood suspended on this account. Two of the supreme commanders went to that city to straighten out matters and his bondsmen must make the shortage gocd. Loomis left the city two weeks ago ostensibly to visit reletives at " Valparaiso, but cannot now be located.
