THE SILVER CONVENTION.

The National Silver Convention,
called to meet at st. Louis on the
26th OF next month, may have an i'm
portant influence on legislation. The
silver question is approaching a cri-
sis. Throughout the world bi-metal-
lism is advancing. The recent none
tary congress at Paris showed that
the weight of economic authority had
already shifted to that side. In the
United States the single gold stand
ard finds scarcely any support out
side Of New England and New York.
Silver is becoming the money Of the
people. Tho latest Treasury state
mont shows that silver certificates to
the amount of S277, 733, 162 and stand
ard dollars to tho amount of S58,37O,-
SIT are actually in circulation, while
there are only 5,O76,171 standard dol
lars on hand and unrepresented by
silver certificates. Nobody can re-
peat the old taunt that silver will not
circulate. The people want it-they
want more of it than they can get I'M
less the Treasury purchases are in
creased. If our Government take a
wise advantage of the situation the
gap between the two precious metals
may be closed and free coinage may
be prudently permitted.
Obviously there is great opportu-
nifty before the Silver Convention. 1t
IL one that should not be wasted by
the intrusion of cranky theorists or
of the representatives OF selfish inter
ests. The call is signed by James
Campbell, L. NJ. Rumsey, Julius S.
Walsh, Frank Gaiennie and George
Taylor These gentlemen may be all
that the sponsors Of such a gathering
should BIO, bnt we have not tho happi-
hess of a familiar acquaintance with
their names. The Governor of each
State and Territory is empowered to
appoint twenty delegates, and the Elk
ecutive Committee Of the promoters
reserves the right to appoint 100 dele
gates at large. It is quite likely,
therefore, that the Assembly will be
entirely in the hands of it's st. Louis
organizers, since their 100 representa-
tives, together with the twenty from
Missouri, will all be on hand and the
other States will not send full dele
cations. 1t is is be hoped that the
gentlemen who have taken such re-
sponsibility upon themselves will be
equal to the emergency.--[S. F.. Elk

MORNING APPEAL
HITCHIHG TEAMS.

There is city ordinance against
leaving teams unhitched, and yet it
is never inforced, and has become a
dead letter. Hardly a day passes
that horses coming in from the
country are not left standing I'M
hitched to become frightened by
some slight noise that they are not
accustomed to in the country, and
few moments later they charge up
the street, endangering life and
limb of mea, women and children,
and destroying property. If the
police authorities began to enforce
the hitching ordinance, people
would very soon learn to hitch their
horses, and saving OF their own
and other peoples property would
result.

Congressional Salaries.

There is talk of doubling the
ralaries of Senators and Congress.

views, during recent secret session
of the Sc. nate, as TO why the sal
airy of Cong ressmen should not be
doubled, has c. sused deal OF dis

it by very large majority, but
whether a majority You'd vote for
a bill enacting such = law, IS
doubtful. Public sent;m> ant I'M
doubtedly favors such a chan,77e; It
is argued that no Representa-. We
or Senator can keep house in Wash

year, and keep up the style and
appearance that is expected of him.
1t is further argued that the cost |
of living in Washington is now
much greater than it was when
the present salaries were fixed. |

The appointment of Robert
Lincoln, son OF Abraham Lincoln,
as Minister to England, gives
satisfaction everywhere. 1t was a
tribute to the sterling qualities Of
the son as well as to the memory
of his illustrious father. He is a
man of ability and great deal Of
practical hard sense, and not
person who would become a tody
to Brush methods and manners.
His fathers name Is universally
revered in England, and this will
give him great prestage there.

John Bright's Jewish Ancestry.

1t is interesting to note that John
Bright had undoubtcd Jewish blood in
his veins. The Abraham Bright who
went to Coventry early in the last
century had for his wife a handsome
Jewess named Martha Jacobs. One of
their children was William Bright and
one of Williams was Jacob Bright,
and the youngest son of Jacob was an
other Jacob Bright, tho father of the
illustrious Englishman, news of whose
death has reached us from across the
sea. The mother of John Bright was
Martha Wood, the daughter of a
tradesman Of Bolton-el- She
was Jacob Bright's second wife, and he
lived to have q third. But Martha
Wood was the mother of all his
children, and of children he had
eleven. Seven of these we're sons and
four were daughters. By the death OF
the tirst-born, at the age of FOUR John
became the eldest of the family. He
had been born at Greenbank on No.
vember l6, 1911. When his mother
died he was a boy of eighteen. Mar.
tina Wood was a woman possessed Of
strong and efficient intellectual quail.

was fond of books, and had a clear
and logical mind. She not only knit

THE CHINA FAIRY.
A Short Experience as Popular
Dramatist.

Ion johnson was fve-and-twenty,
and a clerk in the city. He was mar
ried to the dearest little woman in the
world, and they lived in three rooms
In nice respectable street near Cam
den Town. Rose, Toms wife, was a
perfect little household fairy. Tom
could only give her thirty shillings a
week out of his salary, but she did
wonders with it. The little sitting
room was always bright and cozy and
clean. and there was always something
nice for Toms tea when he came home
tagged out with the work and worry
Of the Office. OF course they were
obliged to be very economical, and to
deny themselves many things they
would have liked, but one treat they
always allowed themselves every week,
and that was a visit to a place of
amusement. Tom and Rose were both
very fond of the theater, and by wait
ing till a play had had good run, and
by getting to the doors early, they
generally managed to get good place
in the pit.
Being SO fond of the theater, Tom
and Rose naturally took good deal of
interest in the theatrical items of news
and gossip. without which nowadays
newspaper is not considered to be
fully adapted to the requirements of
the public.
Poor little Rose used to give sigh
Of envy sometimes when Tom read out
10 her the paragraphs about the enor-
nous incomes which dramatic authors
were making. 30 Tom," she would
say, clancy making hundreds of pounds
week like that just for writing a
play! Fancy if you had been able to do
itr'
1T would be fine, wouldn't it?" Tom
would reply, and then they would be-
gin fancying what they would have
done with the money. They would
have had a beautiful house and car
rage and pair for Rose; and when
she went to the theater on the first
night to see her husband come on the
stage and bow amid the tremendous
applause of crowded house, she would
have worn the loveliest dresses, and
her diamonds would have been the
envy of all the ladies.
@Oh, how beautiful it would be,
Tom," the young wife cried, one day,
as they conjured up visions of splendor
together; mo getting up at half-past
seven in the morning for you, dear; no
turning out in all winds and weathers:
you would be able to have your break
fast nice and comfortably with me, and
take plenty Of time over it; and you
would stop at home and work in your
study, and I could bring my sewing
and sit with you, and when you'd fin
ished we should be able to have dinner
together, and go out every evening to
some place of amusement. 0 Tom,
dear, couldn't you write a play?"
Tom shook his head. "I'm afraid
not, Rose, ~ he said. ''There's pecul-
far knack about it, expect"
81 suppose it's very difficult" sighed
Rose. / ..,...-z. j. ... b.
