A C~oNoLUsrvE FIRE TESTIFY a recent test
of the qualities of Mineral Sperm OIL, the new
Illuminating fluid, which is now rapidly su-
perceding kerosene and all other oils, 1t was
found to be non-explosive at heat Of three
hundred degrees Fahrenheit; and this being
about one hundred degrees above the boiling
point, it may safely be assumed that no posi-
Bile contact with fire or exposure to heat will
ever create an explosion when this oil Is used.

Boutwelrs Double Dealing.

The Herald says of Yesterdays mon
ey market: CAT the beginning of the
month Mr.. Boutwell, had formally an
nounced his intention of buying a mill.
ion bonds each Wednesday, and selling
million of gold each Thursday, in
September This formal notice was Civ
en-. Every merchant, every banker, ev-
cry dealer in the land regarded and had
right to regard it as Il sort Of storm
signal set and weather gauge displayed
for his guidance during thirty days 1t
was solemn contract between the
Treasurer, the servant of the people,
and the people But this solemn con-
tract Mr. Boutwell, made haste, st the
bidding of his terrified Wall street pup
pets, to violate. He yesterday bought
three millions Of bonds instead of one,
pouring his greenbacks thus into the
streets to the relief of his puppets and
there is little reason to doubt that to.
day he will sell three, four or five mill
ions Of gold, instead Of the million he
had engaged to sell In this way it is
that Mr.. Boutwell, openly uses the
Treasury Of the United States to main
taiE the financial stability of the Wall
street puppets, by the help of whose
financial stability he proposes in turn to
secure the re election of his Presiden.
tial puppet at Washington. With such
a policy, administered by such Sec
retary of the Treasury, in behalf OF
such interests, what solid industry, what
important enterprise, what invested cap
ital in this country can pretend to count
upon six weeks or six days of steady,
consistent and profitable activity"

From the ST. louis Democrat
The Louisville Convention failed to
accomplish what its participants inten-
ded, because it was Mr.. Blanton Dun
cans Convention, and because it remain
ed MI. Blanton Duncan's Convention
from the beginning to the end. Mr..
B!anton Duncan is man with idiotic
energy enough to get up convention,
but the trouble is that after Mr. Blanton
Duncan's idiotic energy has done the
outside work, Mr.. Blanton Duncan's
energetic idiocy spoils the inside work.
If the straight out Democrats had been
shrewd men they would have passed a
resolution of thanks to Mr. Blanton
Duncan immediately after the organiza
tion OF their convention-thanks, hon
est thanks, for what he had done up to
that time-and ther they would have
dropped Mr. Blanton Duncan out of the
third story window of the Court house
into the stone lined depths below. They
might have spoiled few feet of iron
railing, but they would lave saved their
convention.
