Only a Word This Month.

I get a detailed official financial statement from the Treasury Department at Washington each month and most of the months show a decrease of money in circulation. All the details for the past year are not. now at hand so I will take Bradstreet’s October report which shows that- the money in circulation has decreased over sixtynine millions of dollars in the past year. Money is the blood of commerce and this is a young and growing country* but the policy now in vogue is to reduce the circulating medium. Would you bleed a growing boy and expect him to thrive on it? This policy is pursued in deference to the moneyed interests and the reason is easy to see. To diminish tee number of dollars that remain; and the man that has the dollars is better off at the expense of the producer, who must give up a progressively increasing amount of his produce for the dollar. This process has been going on for a long time. We need in this country a patriotism that will place the general good of the country above the interests of self or party. Doctors find that the getting of dollars is becoming more and more dffiicult, and the above is the cause-or one of the causes. Have you raised your voice against it? It is whispered that there is a quiet resolve in banking circles to induce Congress this winter to withdraw all government paper money and substitute, bank-notes Goverment paper money saved the Union fought

the Revolution, fought the Napoleonic wars and the French revolution. Can we spare so good a friend? And why need we? We saw above that the circulating medium is being manipulated in reference to the interests of the moneyed classes. What can we expect when the entire volume of paper money is issued by private institutions and withdrawn at their pleasure? The heart may beat ever so perfectly, but if it were not for the sympathetic system of the nerves including the vesomotors, •reaching every part of the body, the circulation would be imperfect. Our neighbor on the North, Canada, is progressing very nicely with its Postal Saving Bunk system. It was begun in 1868 with eighty-one post-office banks; the following year there were 231 postoffice banks, and the number has now grown to 731, carrying 120,628 accounts, averaging $222.22 each. The interest paid is 34 per cent.,and the cost of running averaged last year only S6B per bank! 1 I have mentioned to you several times the many advantages of a Postal Savings Bank system to the masses of the people—and consequently to you. Have you raised your voice in favor of them? The moneyed classes will, as a rule, oppose them; but which do yoq care most for, the moneyed classes or the masses of the people—the people who, by their labor, Create the vast wealth of this great counI try? Don’t you think that it is time that the moneyed classes were taking care of themselves, and that our legislation should

be directed toward the greatest good to the people? A man with a bank account of $222 in a United States bank is quite sure to be a good citizen and a desirable patron. Let his kind multiply. Let us so legislate that his kind may multiply.—Dr. C. F. Taylor in The Medical World. Did you ever think that England has a sort of are ferendum? When the goverment fails to command majority of the House of Commons the Prime Minister and Cabinet resign. Parliament is dissolved, and the question or questions at issue are referred to the people in the new elections. As a consequence England is making more progress toward goverment by the people and justice toward the masses than we are. They already have Government Telegraph Government. Savings Banks, etc, and if we had any way to get the expression of the voters on these questions. Why can’t we have a way? We have had many “boodle” Congresses, “boodle” Legisla* turesand “boodle” City Counils that should have been dissolved. But no; we elect a man for a certain term, ahd all the legal powers in the country can’t get him out until his term expires. Here is where the Imperative Mandate comes in. It gives the people the power to recall any public officer at any time in the following way: Any constituent may, at any time, draw up a document demanding the removal of said officer. When this document is signed by a majority of the voters in the territory which elected such officer his office shall be declared vac ant. It can be filled again by appointment or by a new election. Shall we have it?—Dr. C. F. Taylor in The Medical World.

For Governor of Wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Wls., July 9.—Lieut. Gov. Baench has formally announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for governor. He is a representative German-American, and will doubtless prove a strong candidate in the field. He was elected lieutenant governor in 1894, receiving the highest of any one on the republican state ticket.

Rensslaer 4th July Celebration

A blue sky,, soft breezes and strains of music floating through the air, helped to render the 4th of July celebration, which was held in the shady grove south of Mt. Calvary cemetbry, an ideal one. The work of 'the several committees on arrangements had been done in a very thorough and praiseworthy manner; the opportunities for enjoyment were many and various and freely indulged in by the joyous throng. Rev. Bonaventure. in his splendid salutatory, described the grand chord of peace and harmony which swells the breasts of the American people on this glorious day and hushes the voice of religious, political and private dissensions. The audience then sang “My country, ’tis of thee” in chorus, and the band boys gove a spir ited rendition of patriotic and other choice selections. Mr. Frank Maloy’s address was »an excellent composition, treating eloquently on the significance of the 4th of July celebration; on our dearly bought but priceless boon of liberty, and our consequent duty to preserve and transmit it to posterity. Those who perhaps regretted the absence of Rev. M. Walz, who was to have been the orator of the day, but who was called to New York for urgent reasons, thus, at least the local papers stated, were most agreeably surprised, for Rev. B. Boedner more than amply met the emergency and delighted every one by his patriotic -utterances, noticeably coming from an intensely patriotic heart. The world-wide significance of the event, with which no other country’s day of jubilee can compare, and the noble and divine virtue of patriotism were themes eloquently dwelt upon by the Rev. orator. His happy allusion to the patriotism of Christ and St. Paul showed that the patriotism of a Christian should ever excel that of the Greeks and Romans. In the between Mrs. A. Leurs and Mrs. K. Ow r ens, Mrs. Leurs received the greatest number of votes and was awarded the prize. The dancing bear and elephant was a unique feature of the program contributing no little to swell the mirth of the crowd.

Miss Rose Beck read a bright little paper, “The Review,” edited* by herself and other members of the Stanislas liter ary society. Besides being replete with wit and humor, the paper contained some well writ ten essays on topics relating more or less to the glorious fourth. The fondness of the people of Rensselaer for the merry-go-’round was again manifested at this picnic. Between the different parts of the program the band boys kept up the enthusiasm by playing a favorite composition or singing some national song with their usual ardor which was w&il seconded by the people. Various races and other pastimes were also not wanting. Despite the fact that there were no fire works at night, every one who attended the celebration went home with the satisfaction of naving spent the hundred and twentieth anniversary of the declaration of independence in a most enjoyable manner. Following were the committees: < Ice cream stand —Rose Beck, Tom Calahan, P. Hoerdeman, Maggie Warden, Wm. Beck, Cinda Mecklenberg, Anna Moosmiller. Lemonade stand—C onr a d Kellner, Wm. Walters. James, E. Walters, Annie Meyer, Rose Thompson, Mary Ramp, Emma Lear. Popcorn stand—George Borntraeger, Mary Meyer. Barney Mainbrook. Mary Beck. May Callahan, Stella Owens.

RAIN AT WASHINGTON.

Christian Endeavor era Have a Chilly Reception at the Capital.. Washington, July 9.—The hosts of incoming Christian Endeavorers were greeted by a cold, Chilling rain. Those who attempted to spend the day In sight-seeing found cheerless comfort but this drawback was of but slight consequence to the earnest young men and women who are gathered here to do God’s bidding. Every one took the weather philosophically, and grumbling was not heard. Every ijetail in connection with the big convention has virtually been completed. and nothing remains to be done but to carry out the plans perfected. The committees were busy with new arrivals who continued to come tn at frequen| intervals and wanted to know everything about the convention, the city, and the district. So far the arrivals have fallen a little below the original estimates of the committees, tfhich aggregated 50,000, but the indications are that there will be fully 35,000 arrivals altogether. The hotels are Alling up rapidly, and large number of boarding houses,* which failed to register the entertainment committee, are making strenuous efforts to secure guests by stationing representatives at the depots.
