Our esteemed contemporary the Hausfreund and Post n commenting pon our opposition to Bryan affirms hat we can see it is all up with gold bonds, high per cent. and high taxes. Bio. Dancer will have to guess again, or the Courier has too much confldence n the awakening cominon sense of the people to think they will much longer ndure tliese hard times brought on by he Wilson bill. Xeither are they going o run any chances with debase d ilver currency. Speaking of gold bouds and high per cents., we are inclined o aak our brother if he ever noiced where monev commands the highst interest and where the lowest. The lighest interest payments to-day are in he free silver countries of China, Peru and Mexico, while the lowest interest is n England. In Mexico it is from 10% o 20%, but in London it is 2% to 4%, because the latter is on a sure gold basis. Interest is always lowest where he security is strongest. The editorial referred to closes witli the statement hat the Courier sees the "mene, mene ekel upharsin" on the wall. That's right, we do see it. When the awful warning appeared on the wall of Nebuchadnezzar's palace, it meant the end of his bad reign - that his administration was to be thrown out of power. It means just the same to-day to the misrule of the party in power. They are to be annihilated this f all. Our only regret is that óur worthy contemporary is not true enough to the strong instincts of the great Germán race for sound inoney. If it had the courage of its true convictions it would come out as a leader just as have the Chicago Staats Zeitung, Abend Post, N. Y. Staats Zeitung, Milwaukee Seebote, Louisville Anzeiger, and most other Germán pappers of wide cireulation. The Hausfreund is missing a rare opportunity which it will see before a year comes around. _ A question which is greatly agitating the.minds of the college boys is, How will the next freshman class be designated ? Last year's class was knowu as the class of '99, but the coming class, which will be graduated in 1900, must go down in history as '00. The two naughts admit of but little opportunity fór the oral outbursts so esseutial to the happiness of the college boy, and, consequentlv he is filled with consternatiou as the situatiou confronts him. Especially is this true of the youugster who has just emerged from preparatory schools, and who hopes to enter upon his college career in the fall. "The class of 00" is too suggestive of innocuous desuetude to suit him, and something must clearly be done to give individuality to the class. One bright young man has suggested tliat it be known as the class of naughty-naught, and the suggestiou is too good to be ignored. There is an aroma of delightful wickedness about the "naughty" which quite condones the objectionable "naught."
