the death of F 0 Stephenson, the

IS CRIME ONTHK INCREASE?
We are often asked tho ques
tion if crime ia on the increase?
It seema from the daily journals
of the country that it ia, and that
the crimes that are committed
moat are theft, robbery, rape and
murder,
The papers each day are filled
with accounts of these crime-, and
in most cates ttfey ;re committed
by the idle, and those desirous of
the pleasures of thia world and
have not the -means to get them.
The oldenying that u "idle brain

tQ be true, li everybody had em
ployment of some kind and con
tent therewith, fpvter crime 3 would
be committed. hut as long cs

Mr. J G Smith* from th State
University with firet hono£‘ la et
week, ie an if w|pb a
Syourig man can do in thi* c6un|rj
when he tries.
Mr, Smith entered the Universi
ty without means, and with wea k
eves, which interfered with hie
studio* considerably. While there
he had three attacts of fever, and
at one time suffered with a broken
ankle. Ha worked during vacation
at teaching, etc., and paid his ex
penses. Notwithstanding all these
obstacles, Mr. Smith won the first
honor of tho University, and re
ceived a fellowship in biology.
What Mr. Smith haa done, oth
er youngguea can do, if thoy are
prepared to take hold with invin
cible determination that young
Smith displayed. Once let the
people know that you are in earn
est, and friends and friends and
well wishers will be pi entiful.
Mr. Smith has honored the coun
ty ef his birth, and haa prepared
himself well L.r the duties of life
The Monitor congratulates M<\

COINAGE^-
THE PEOPLE'S MONEY—the coinage of both gold and silver, without discrimination, which means the free coinage
of both as opposed to the policy of contraction, which lias been dictated by Khgland and adopted in Washington, and which
levies tribute on every product ef the farm, on valuations of all kinds and on all compensanons for labor.
THE GREAT ISSUE NOW is the double -standard against the single standard—the use of both gold and silver a: standard
money metals against keeping the currency of the country on the gold basis.
