Senator Teller made n powerful
speech in behalf of silver in the senate
last week. lie made the gold bugs
fairly crawl. lie gaze the atten,late ei
lcicle from Ohio II hard thrust When he
said The man who stood before he
| senate arguing for a single standard
was either dishonest or ignorant and
had no right to represent the Ancri-
can people" In the following he seat
tered his silver missiles right and left i,
hitting a head wherever il bObbed up /:
The bi-mei allie principle had had its
worst enemy. its most effective fOe, in
the treasury department. II had been
within the power Ot the administra-
ton to relieve the people so that what
the people suffered was at the door
of the administ tiOn,' but there
was no feeling favorable to bi-met-
allIsm in high places and would
not he while Wall st rect could influence
political parties. Each party had
been met by the declaration hat con-
gress must legislate sO as to gain the
good will OF the business interests of
the country. That meant Wall street
lie remembered the case OF presi-
dent (Cleveland) addressing a crowd
OF people i'm Wall street and saying
he saw before him the representatives
OF the great interests OF the country.
But the fact was, Teller said. that he
did not see before him single man
who had ever done an honest days
work, ever produced an article of COM
merce or ever promoted the inlustr ri
al pursuits of the country"

WAYS OF GREAT MEN


WAS sitting in the senate gallery,
| says Il Washingt on Post writer. won
d-ring why so learned speaker n
Senator Teller should persstently say
"air" for ARE" why so eloquent a
gentleman as Senator Daniel should
say ''cam" for calm" and why Sell
ator Moody should say "extryorli-
nary" wondering, too, why pretty
nearly every senator when he has
nothing to say says it in his most
Orat Orical manner, and why most oi
them begin their long speeches with
the assertion that they do not intend
to make speeches. and end them by
saying they have taken more OF the
senate's time than they intended to.
] was sitting there thinking OF these
things when ] spied my old friend.
Uncle Jabez I.arrabee of Illinois, in the
gallery across from me. Always inter
ested in his observations, | went over
and sat down beside him.
"Fve been thinkin'," sad he, "what
tarnal nonsense it is for us to teach
our children how to write accordin' to
rule. Now, out IN our village they
teach what they call the Spencerian
system, an they make every child sit
jest so at his desk, an hold his pen Jest
so, pointin' over his right shoulder,
an his arm restin' in jest such a po-
sitiOn on the desk. swan don't see
no use m that at all, fer no man ever
got to be great, seems to me, till he
unlearned all them rules an went to

how it should be done"

In his report to the Governor the
State Adiutant General says: Troop
A, unattached, marched from Helena
to Fort Ellis and return, and com
pany ID, First Regiment of Infantry,
marched from Virginia City to Fort
Ellis and return, and each deserves
great credit for the sOldierly manner
in which these marches were made. y
Their exploits were equal to that al
the great general who bravely marched
up hill and then marched down again.

ment al than useful.

The \. W. Live Stock journal says
the reason for the high prices now
prevailing for mutton is owing t o the
fact that "there has been no over
marketing OF mutton" There have
been great many sheep placed on the
market in the past two years. but the
fact that the sheep serves double
purpose marketing has been u second
AIRY matter. Yet it is very apparent
that there is growing demand for
mutton as meat food.

The Northwestern Live Stock journal
asserts that every calf dropped on the
northern ranges this year and saved
until it is a three-year-old steer will
he worth $40 net when that time
arrives. No doubt this prediction will
be verified, but it will be because a
great many cattle men are getting out
of the business.

1t is rather late in the day to say
that no New Englanders say ''haow )"
and SO forth, says the Boston Tran
script. The fashion is certainly and
individually prevalent in many places,
and one may hear it every day in Bos-
ton from native New Englanders.
But it is disappearing. 1t is true that
it is not common in Rhode island, and
that it is more frequent in Northern
than in Southern New England The
Rhode Island pronunciation has pc
culiarities of its own, and one of them
is the fragrant misuse of the letter or. -
which letter, perhaps, more there
than anywhere else in New England,
is dropped where it should be
pronounced, and pronounced where
it is not in the word. You will
meet those dear, delightful girls En-
mer and her sister Esthah more fire.
quently there than in the same area
anywhere else. 1t is also true that
the Philadelphians, Jerseymen and
sOutherners are rank offenders in the
matter of the "aOw;" only their "aOw'
is different from our New England
"aow." Their composite diphthOng
or triphthODg begins with the sound
Of az i'm cache" while ours begins
with the sound "a" i'm "act." Their
"cOwU is "kay-Ow," while ours is
merely "ka-ow." Quite naturally,
the listener prefers the latter animal.

The female wit is always quick,
And OF all woman kind

That rare, distinctive touch
Combined with grace of form and
That glads men overmuch.
