Large sums of money have been recently offered in New York without finding takers at 1 per cent per annum for three months, and good four to six months1 commer cial paper, according to the New "York Sun, can be sold at from 2 to per cent per annum. Call money js nominally 1 per cent, but in many instances it is nnlendable. The same condition, jfc appears, pre vail abroad. In Loudon call money ;s quoted at per cent per annum and discounts for three njonths' pa per at a fraction under per cent. In Paris and Berlin the interest of money, though not as low as it is in London, is still much lower than it has been for years. The banks of Europe are overflowing with gold. The Bank of England has $180,000, 000, the Bank of France $350,000, 000, and the Bank of Germany 1$75,000,000. The Austro-Hun-garian bank also, as well as the na tional treasury of Austro-Hungary has accumulated a large amount of gold to prepare for the approaching resumption of specie payments in gold and the establishment of that metal as the standard of value in place of silver, to be completed dur ing the year. It will thus be seen hat ajl the great nations have an Abundant supply of money, and that A great deal of it is unemployed, though those having it are offering jt at extraordinary low rates. A writer in the New York Sun ays that while the accumulation of Idle money js unfavorable symptom, $n that it shows a diminution of ac tivity in business, it Is nevertheless, p. yalijable practical refutation of the fallacy! so often repeated andso -vehemently insisted upon, that there ;s mot currency enough in the coun try to meet the requirements of trade, as well as that other fallacy, equally often repeated and vehe mently asserted, that the world's ptock of gold is not sufficient for its business needs. The scarcity of money last summer when the panic was at jts worst was due to hoard ing, which the panic inspired, and t disappeared as soon as the panic has Bpent its force, ''At no time be fore -or since," says the Sun writer, "was there any Jack of the currency necessary for business transactions And if at the time enough currency had been created by any magical process to satisfy those who ask for it merely to hide it away in safes And yaults the stock of it now lying dle would be at least (double whafc it js, if not more. That the panic was not the result but the cause of a lack of currency is proved by the fact that in tljree years previous to it the silver purchases under the Sherman act had created $150,000.- jOOO in legal tender notes, and that the exports of gold to wljich it is as cribed by some were not as great flrhen it commenced as they have been this year without creating the lightest alarm."" Nevertheless the Agitation for more currency goes on. , With hundreds of millions of cur rency unemployed and no demand for if; at the temptingly low fttes of interest at which it is offer ed, is it not pfcter folly to demand $ht the supply be increased by the jddition of a IJiousand million - dol lars or moref To what proper or legitimate use could this additional currency be put? That is a ques tion which the advocates of curren cy inflation do not satisfactory an swer, nor can they. What is need- I ed is not more currency, but confi dence that what we have can be J safely invested, and confidence will not be restored until the conditions which disturb and impaired it are removed. With the tariff disposed of and the fact settled that the cur rency is to be let alone there is rea son to believe that the prevailing distrust would largely disappear, and when that js the case there will be a resumption of business activity. It would be no help to this result, but rather the reverse to currency infla tion. f Omaha Bee. What Populism Has Done For Kansas. Ruined the credit of the state. Upheld train stealing, anarchy and socialism. Given us scandals in nearly every state institution. The secretary of state convicted of criminal libel.

Abram Cross had the misfortune to get thrown off of one of his horses a couple of weeks ago injuring his thigh, but is better again. Orlando Carlbon, a former resident of Riverside township, who has been on an extended trip to Minnesota, has re turned to Trego county again.

A.; Omaha, eb, Ellsworth, Overwhelmed With Tor rents of Water, Wind, Lightning and Hail Add to the Devastation, From the Ellsworth Reporter. About 1 oclock p. m. Monday, during the prevalence of a high east wind, the clouds that had been scurrying over the city wTere seen to thicken and bank up in the western horizon. At first everyone supposed that the blessing of a good rain was about to be sent upon the section of the county west of us. while Ells worth was doomed to another disap pointment. It was not long, however, until the clouds assumed a green and an gry look, and were noticed tobereturn ing on their track towards the city. This time they came in a solid, threatening mass, the edges white and foaming, fly ing swiftly upward, while dark masses rolled in beneath, turned white and sped upward in their turn. Those who observed the coming storm closely, say that the meeting of the east and west winds was marked as plainly defined in the clouds as it might be marked upon a map. By 2 o'clock the rain began to pour down upon Ellsworth, while the the wind and lightning were frightful in the extreme. The rain came down in sheets, and near the ground drifted in a horizontal direction, sifting into and through every crack and crevice on the exposed sides of buildings. The hail, light at first, gradually increased in di mensions until the average hailstones were the size of walnuts; they bounded upon the roofs and siding like rocks, and crashed through glass and screens like bullets. No glass was thick enough to turn them, even the splendid plate glass in the banks being smashed to pieces. In the course of thirty minutes the water from the hillsides came rushing through the streetb and soon rose high enough to sweep horses off their feet. Barns, outhouses, sidewalks, and awn ings were swept away and carried again&t the railway embankment southeast of town. Even' cellar in the business por tion of the city was filled, water spurted, out through cracks and forced its way through doors until nearly all the first floors were covered, sometimes a foot in depth. f At the Ballon house the whole force gathered in the office and sat perched on chairs, tables and counter, as the hou&e was flooded. Many fine tn.es were de stroyed and immenbe damage done to gardenb, as well as to carpets, plastering, etc., in all parts of the city. But the most serious loss of the storm was occasioned by the collapse of the two brick buildings of R. W. Long and R. Ruehl. These two buildings were on the corner of Doughlas avenue and 2nd street, and together occupied a frontage of of fifty feet and a depth of sixty feet. The two houbes were two stories in height and were practically one. The corner room was occupied by R. W. Long, grocer, who carried a stock of no less than $10,000 in value. Mr. Ruehl occupied the next room with butcher shop and store room. Both families oc cupied the second stories of their re spective buildings for residences. With the rush of water down the streets and into the cellars, supplemented by the fierce wind, the houses went down like paper, Ruehl's first and Long's in a few seconds afterwards. Fortunately the preliminary swaying and cracking w arned the inmates and they were ena bled to escape, yet as by a hairs breath. Little Ralph Hissem was in Mr. Long's store, and Mr. Long seized him together with hib son and hurried them into the alley. Later Ralph was found up a tree, safe, sound and undismayed, not even frightened. The w orst of the storm was from two to five o'clock in which time it was ab solutely at the peril of drowning that anyone ventured into the streets. By eight o'clock the water had bubsided and the streets were filled with sight seers and laborers, the one curious to see what damage had been done, and the other as eager-to repair it. A large force of men volunteered to aid Mr. Long m the rescue of such goods as were savable. Of course the loss is practically total. Most of our citizens suffered more orless loss, but these petty losses are lost sight of in the universal sympathy for those whom misfortune has so grievously in jured. Climate and Crops Just Bight. Oklahoma has thousands of anrps of the finest farming land in the world, waiting for you or anybody else with a little cash and lots of gumption. Cli mate and crops are just right.
