The Galveston News puts the
silver question thus: 1.-The silver
dollar, whether called a l00-cent
dollar or al S4-cent dollar-and it
was once worth 102 cents in gold-is
all the while the same thing. What
more can be said for a gold dollar ?
1t is always the same thing, but
its exchange power varies. Gold
now has power of IL cents over
the average commodities, as com
pared with 90 cents some years ago.
Yet who hears a voice from the
gold side on the financial contro-
yersy to suggest that Government
shall look beyond the fact of the
piece of metal stamped as a dollarf
Gold men should beware Of un.

Hon. Harvey N. Watterson

Hon. Harvey n. Watterson,

editor of the Courier-J Journal, Wis.,
fted the President last week, MIR.
Watterson declared, that it was his
solemn belief, that, the best, and
only hope of the democratic party,
is on Mr.. Cleveland. If the party
repudiates him, it is lost. iii
stands by him, it will receive the
peoples support. The account
ends blythe statement, that, Mr..
Wattefson is about eighty and is

The last sentence was redundant,
as his remarks showed that he was
iniirm, mentally ct least. To stand
by ihe Presidents policy is sure

She billed and she cooed,
When first being wooed,
And nothing she wished,
Was denied her,
And he thought to himself,
What a sweet little elf,
Az he sat on the sofa,
Beside her.
Her beautiful eyes,
Were blue as the skies,
And her smile, was 50
Loving and tender
But she set up yowl,
And made Rome fairly howl
When Whiimarsh came home
On a bender.
She caught up q mop,
And struck him on top

Everything rattle,
And he opened his eyes,
In bcwildcred surprise,

CTS. In the spring and fall they develop pugilistic instinct altogether interesting. They fight with beak, wing, and claw. The Chinese sports sharpen the beak to needle point trims the wing and wing feathers un- til they are series of needles, and work the claws into similar sharpness In these fights the hen quail is never used They are good natured and affectionate. The cock, how ever, is very bellicose, and strikes out until he is dead or disabled. He differs from the game cock in his style of work Two cocks stand up, peck, dodge, and gaf, and then endeavor each to strike the other with the trimmed wings. A successful blow means temporary binding and consequent victory for the happy striker. Sometimes, especial ly when women are present, the beak and claws are blunted, and bloodless fight re- suits. In such 8 case endurance and pluck are the determining factors, and long and very funny struggle is the consequence Frequently these 'soft-glove" fights, if the term may be allowed, will keep on for hours, and the two birds will drop down at the end from sheer fatigue.
