10 the utmost nonsense in the world this
talk about silver and gold as q basis for
circulation. About three per cent. Of the
goll in circulation is lost annually by
wear and destruction. / hear some
fellow jump mp and challenge that
proposition. He will tell you there
was SO much gold last year and so
mach this year, and no such loss as 1
enid in circulation. The gold he would
count is boarded in the vaults and not
i circulation. About 4 per cent. Of
silver in circulation is lost the same
way. When piece Of coin is destroyed

The government also loses It's valuc,
because the so-called intrinsic value

paper money Is lost the man who held
+ loses lis value. The govern
ment gains that much. We had
out $li,OOO,0O0 of fractional cur
Yency. When the Government came to
call it in $la,OO0,O0u was missing. The
Government had made sl3,O0O.O00.
How much better it was for the Gov
ernment to make ! ia, 100000 than for
the holders to lose $4,000. 900 and the
Government also to lose $4,000, 100.
They talk about gold and silver being
the basis Of circulation. Why, in the
old days of my study Of arithmetic
was taught that the whole was
greater than any of the parts. The
property of all the United States is
pledged for every dollar OF paper Of
. other circulating medium that it issues
The gold and silver are only part o
the property Of the country, a very
small part. What folly it is to 50,
, that part only of the property of tn,
country shall stand good for the re
: demption Of the currency, when the,
can have all of it so pledged by doing
away with gold aud silver altogether
Ii these metals were still in the mine
they would be just as valuable q

now. There is no necessity 10

A singular occurrence, which Is stated TO
have recently taken place at Ithaca, N. z,
illustrates the dangers attendant upon tho
universal introduction OF electricity. As q
Indy was turning on the water from the
faucet over the sink in her kitchen, using her
right hand, her loft hand being In contact
with the lining Of the sink, she was
suddenly prcltrated by n severe
shock. Her impression was that $40
had boon stricken with paralysis or apo
plexy, butt physician who was summoned
found that the inside of the thumb OF the
loft hand had been blistered In several
places. This led him to believe that abe had
received a strong electric shock from some
source. A few minutes subsequently the
lady's daughter, In drawing water from the
same faucet, was similarly affected, though
not 80 severely. Tho family then became
convinced that the trouble existed In the
water pipe and sink.
Tho manager OF tho Telephone exchange,
after a brief examination Of the premises.
found the secret OF the trouble. The resi-
dence was connected with the Ithaca hotel
by u dead" private telegraph wire. This
wire had been crossed with the electric
light wire. The dead" wire was con-
nected with the metallic roof on tho dwelling
house, which in turn was connected by a tin
water conductor with the water pipe leading
to the sink When the dynamo machine OF
the electric light company was In operation,
tho current passed over the "deads wire TO
tho tin roof, and thence to the water pipe. Il
needed only the completion OF the circuit by
some person drawing water.

lCor- New York SUM-
The last reporter who was on the island OF
New Providence before the present one went
there spent exactly five hours ashore while
the Now York and Cuba steamship Santiago
dropped anchor, lightened her cargo a little,
and then prepared TO continue her voyage
southwark. She rested whore the yea was
dark blue, a gunshot from the land, but from
her deck the water In shore took on three OF
four hues. 1t was almost white where the
sandy bottom was close to the surface. 1t
was a sparkling green where it was a little
deeper, and dark blus in other places. The
colors were SO strong, and blended so one
with another at the edges, that IL a painter
ever could reproduce them on anvas he
would be set down as a dreamer. They have
a story down there that one New York
painter lid try to copy this water, and had
to scour Europe for colors bright and strong
enough fo<the purpose. Mr.. r. w. Parsons
.he mail contractor, tells this tale, but II
does not do such credit to his sense of the
unique as his story Of the Minneapolis woman
who took home a small bottleful Of each
kin of water for fear her people would not
believe how bright the colors were.

They had a dime supper in the ~nsighbor-
hood Of Pawtucket, conceived and carried
out by the ladies. The conditions OF this
novel supper were these: For every word
spoken by the gentlemen at the supper-table
a forfeit Of 10 cents was imposed; but on
the other hand las duties are always COM
pensated with rights and restrictions with
privileges), 1t was agreed that whoever
could weather the whole supper submitting
TO all queries, surprises, and ingenious
questions without replying, should be
entitled to 1t gratuito1sly. Many and
frequent were the articles and subter-
fugos resorted to by the ladies' in
attendance to entrapthe unguafded, and one
after another stout and discreet man went
down before the constant volley OF artful in
terrogations At last all fell out and paid
the dime penalty a v one indiyidual-a

Il is a sweet and charming recreation to
listen to Republican philosophers pirate
about Civil Service reform. Previous to
the election Of a Democratic President
this beautiful modern idea was elaborated
upon in its theoretical aspect, although
all Offices were as a matter Of cossee
peddled out to people Of the Republican
faith just the same. Lately the Republi-
cans have taken to discussing Civil Ser
vice reform from a more practical stand
point and the fcrvency Of their utterances
combined with their hearty concurrence
in reformation restricted to these lines, is
alleged to have brought scalding tears to
eyes unused to weeping.
Civil Service reform as now elncidated
by the Republicans isa grand and noble
doctrine for Republicans. They have
held all manner Of Federal Offices within
the gift Of the government for the past
twenty-four years. They have grown sleek
and fat at the public crib and their children
and grandchildren have thrived on the
pap with which they have been coddled
BY a generous country. During this
quarter Of a century the Democrats have
been ostracissd and have had just the
same chance Of preference as the untamed
Zulu who displays his nude magniicence
on the scorchine sand Of Africa.
According to the idea of some people
Civil Service reform means the maintain
ence in Office Of the Republican patriots
who have been saddled on the country for
the past twenty-five years Il means the
keeping in lower and place of thousands
of people whose proper abodes would be
the ynwning ~penitentiaries, were their
guilty misdeeds exposed TO the light OF
investigation. 1t means the keeping in
Office Of political sharks whose stupendous
specu,ations have startled even the apa-
thetic American people. Il means the re-
tcntion 10 place Of the ornamental
statesmen who la~boriously draw their sal
aries for the alleged performance Of GER
tain duties in the voiceless Territories.
OF course it means all this and much
more. They have all done faithful party
hack work and they have cheerfully pros
titnted their Offices in the furtherance OF
selfish political schemes. They deserve
well Of their country, but it is among the
bare probabilities that they have now
drawn as much money from the govern
,nent as they will ever draw.

Tho whinen-

There are miles Of whining poetry In the
newspapers, mostly from unfedged poets 1t
Is simply idiotic- Why cannot poets try
their skill upon strong. healthy themes, and
give US somsthing that will stand alone. No
whins can aver be either poetioal or musical
Strength Is above poetry and above
music; 1t Is the father Of both of them,
md can command them as It pleasss- It
would DO In contravention OF its W exist
ence 10 command them 50 whine; and II
never did and never viii do IT. Poetry and
music are both the glad and exultant cries
OF hope and faith; strength sends them forth
to encourage souls in their upward struggle
against circumstances that would destroy
them; souls bear the bravo, glad tones, and
spring triumphant from their bonds; spring
to the freedom of higher and diviner lives.
And so the world moves on the wings Of
poetry and song. but with strength for its
urompter.

to be made which tho Americans do not
make. Many things they make better and
cheaper than elsewhere on the globe. You
take all the ~oomponsnts OF a house. and a
house is much Of life, and the Americans
can probably build q cheaper house than
any existing nation. They can also furnish
that house cheaper than any other. They
