that vicinage were furnished copious

that the trains in collision smashed the

rest. They scooped it up in bueketfuls and
in bottles and whatever else they could find
to hold it. Then they proceeded to the tall

around into odd corners is not SO far astray

Political ambition has now seized upon
Bonanza Mackey. Really not 80 much Mr..
Mackey as Mrs. Mackey. Possibly she
hopes in that way to promote her social
success. In that direction her aspirations
are unlimited. AS the wife OF a United
States senator she might shine even more
resplendent than as the mere mother-in-
law Of degenerate Italian prince. Hence
this hustle. Business will probably be
opened for the projected Mackey boom in
Nevada within thirty days. Then will "the

literally wallow in wealth for short whet

The Coming Climax.

A most remarkable political bro
chure, affd one which promises to
create decided sensation, is now
in press for early issue by Charles
II. Kerr & Co., Of Chicago. The
author, Lester G. Hubbard, is editor
Of the Farmers Voice, and stands
in the very front rank of the leaders
of the Peoples party, having been
recentlp chosen chairman Of the
central executive committee for Hi
nois. The significance of the forth
coming pamphlet, which will be
entitled "The Coming Climax" lies
in the fact that it gives frank and
fearless summing up Of the elements
Of danger in the present political
and social conflict between pluto
Gratis and workers. 1t is addressed
to the people Of cities, and embodies
a forcible, direct and definite state
ment of the claims of the new
party on city people. This bro
chure will be the first step in the
organization Of the Peoples party
in Chicago and other leading cities,
and it will doubtless be eagerly
sought for. 1t will appear as the
seventh number of Unity Library,
and will retail at fifty cents in paper
and a dollar in cloth.

Fusion.

Tom and Bill were two old topers.
They differ in politics, and often
had their fights and discords. But at
heart they did not differ, and were
always ready to join their forces
against common enemy and to
help each other in distress. One
evening Republican Tom found
Democratic Bill in the ditch SO bad
ly paralyzed with the esprit" of
his party that he was physically
helpless. He begged Tom for help.
Tom stammered out that he wasn't
overly stout" himself, but would do
what he could. SO Tom tumbled
himself into the ditch with the best
grace he could. After his maudlin
efforts had failed to recover Bill, he
then found he could not get out
himself. So, to make the best Of a
bad situation, Tom said:
"Well, Bill, l can't get you out,
but if it will do you any good | can
lie down with you"
"All right" stammered Bill, "you
Jest make me chairman and we'll
hold fusion meetin'."

Loans In France.

The French government is about
to inaugurate a loan scheme that
will afford precedent for the Peo-
ple's party. M. Constans, minister
of the the interior, will bring for
ward, on the re-assembling of the
chamber deputies, a measure called
"Credit Agricolo." He proposes
that the government shall loan to
the proprietors of farms money at
an interest less than 2 per cent. Of
course the measure has aroused the
opposition of the money brokers of
France, but the agriculturists of
France are making identically the
same demand as the farmers Of the
United States, and the demand is so
emphatic that M. Constans makes
haste to heed it and brave the oppo-
sition of the French plutocracy.-

The Alliance people of the whole
United States are working might
and main for the reforms demanded
in the Ocala platform. Never be-
fore has the public mind been so
profoundly engaged in searching
for the truth and inquiring after the
right way as at present. AS inves-
tigation proceeds, the sentiment
becomes more universal that third
party is necessary, and people
north, south, east and west, who a
few months ago were strong party
men, are now loud in their demands
for independent political action

Eighty.Cent Dollar.

Of course there is no such thing
as an SO-cent dollar. Whatever the
laws of this great country say is a
dollar, is dollar, and it is dollar
of 100 cents. But the plutocratic
gold owners now set up a scare
crow and label it "80-cent dollar"
What measures the dollar they call
an 8O-cent dollar? In 1892 George
Washington signed an act which
declared that the dollar (the honest
dollar, we may observe) should con-
sist of 81 IA grains of pure silver,
and that this dollar should be of the
value of 100 cents, and the standard
measure of all values. This dollar
of 81 IA grains of the same kind
of silver as exists in the United
States to-day-the same dollar that
Washington declared should be of
the value of 100 cents. Who pre-
sumes to say that it is only Of the
value Of 80 cents, and how is this 80
cent value reached? Ernest Seyd,
a London banker, a descendent of
the plunderers whom Washington
drove from America, in collision
with Mr.. John Sherman, and the
American committee on minis and
coinage and the American congress,
set the law Of Washington at def
ance and set up a god of gold, the
money of monarchy and tyranny,
and made it the measure of the hon
est dollar of Washington. This is
the process by which they measure
the silver dollar and an S0-cent. dol
lar. Washington was opposed to
tyranny either of men or money,
and we are satisfied with what he
established as an honest dollar

A Question Of Morals.

Word comes from New York City
that it is the purpose Of William
Wldorf Astor to desert America
and take up his permanent residence
in England. This may prove to be
untrue, although there is nothing
improbable in the report. Wher
the reformers of New York were
doing what they could to break the
power of Tammany last year, they
applied to Mr.. Astor for financial
aid, and it was reported at the time
that he wrote back: II have nc
political interests in New York tC
protect" This also may be news.
paper story. At the same time it
cannot be denied that Mr.. Astor has
an estate which yields him an an
nual income Of about $8,000,000.
He did not earn this money. 1t
was his good fortune to be born OF
wealthy parents. This is his sole
virtue as a financier.
There is nothing to prevent his
migration to England, where his
wealth will cut even more of fig
ure than it would here. Such a
withdrawal of wealth or absentee
landlord would disturb business
He is morally bound to leave his
money in the land where he received
it; but wealthy men do not always
observe such moral obligations and
it therefore rests with the public to
consider the ethical basis of owner
ship of property. Mr.. Astor's
disposition to divorce himself from
politics and even from American as
sociations is unnatural. Such a
tendency has been noticed in other
millionaires. They look upon both
parties as business allies or enemies,
and from a business standpoint they
become more and more conservative
Some keep away from both parties {;
others give money to both campaign
committees. The object of both is
the same. One of the demoralizing
elements in vast personal fortunes is
the decline Of patriotism in the en-
vironment of mercenary life. Let
right-minded men think of these
things before it is too late. 1t is
essentially question of morals

ABOUT three years ago the town
of Triton, Indiana, granted TO-
year franchise to the Triton Light,
Heat and Power Company to lay
mains to supply the people with
natural gas. The company, in con-
sideration of this privilege, agreed
to furnish gas 20 per cent. below
the cost Of wood or coal. A new
schedule of prices has recently been
submitted, increasing the price fully
one-half. The citizens were highly
indignant, and an earnest effort is to
be made to start citizens company
and put in a new plant, the gas to
be furnished at a slight advance
above cost. No stakeholder is to
be allowed but one vote, no matter
how many shares he may own.-

nronkexa as Coin Testers.

It is said that the great apes of Siam
are in request among the Siamese mer-
chants as cashiers in their counting
houses. Vast quantities of base coins
are known to be in circulation in Siam,
and, according to advices from that
scorched-up little Oriental kingdom, no
living human can discriminate between
the good and bad coinage with as
much accuracy as these apes. These
monkey cashiers possess the faculty
of distinguishing the rude Siamese
counterfeits in such an extraordinary
degree that no trained banker can COM
pete with them in their unique avoca-
ton. In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatively puts each coin presented to
him in his mouth and tests it with grave
elaboration. From two to five seconds
is all the time this intelligent animal re-
quires in making up his decision. If the
coin is all right it is carefully deposited
in the proper receptacle; If base it is
thrown violently to the floor, while the
coin tester makes known his displeasure
at being presented with the counterfeit
by giving vent to much angry chattering

WASHINGTON, June 25-Great interest
is felt in official circles here over the
Cabinet meeting called for tomorrow to
consider the financial condition of the
Treasury.
1t is on the eve of new fiscal year
and the Treasury officials are busy pre-
pairing data upon which the President
and Cabinet may come to some con-
clusion as to mapping out line OF
policy to be pursued during the fiscal
year.
From books of the Treasury it is as
certained that the total receipts for the
II months of the present fiscal year have
been 1868, sos, 967, and for the "a days oil
the present month SEA, 497 200. making
actual receipts so far $393, 305,967. With
the six remaining days to hear from the
total receipts will foot up, in round mum
bers, $400, 100000.
The total appropriations for the f1scaI
year commencing July l are S4O7, 1855,
651. Unless the revenues for the mex
fiscal year increase considerably over the
revenues of the present fiscal year al
these appropriations could not be paid.
The present indications are that the

900 to $25, 10000 less than the present
fiscal year, the receipts for the first five
months of the present calendar veal

A Bearded Woman.

Is it too late for a story of the Woman's
Congress at Washington last spring ?
Pm sorry didn't hear it sooner.
A great number of women were quar-
tered during the meeting at the Riggs
House, which naturally had little room
for guests of the bearded sex during their
stay.
When the conference was about at an
end, a waiter came one day to one of the
ladies and difidently suggested that it
might be appropriate to take up a collec-
ton for the barber.
"For the barber! r' said the lady in

Sharks Teeth as weapons.

The natives of some of the Pacific ISL
ands, being provided neither with metals
nor any stone harder than the coral
rocks, of which the atolls they inhabit
are composed, would seem badly off, in
deed, for materials of which to make
tools or weapons, were it not that their
very necessity has bred an invention no
less ingenious than curious and effective.
This is nothing less than the use of
sharks teeth to give cutting edge to
their wooden knives and swords.
The mouth of the shark contains
three hundred teeth, arranged in
five rows, all closely lying upon each
other, except the outer row, and so con-
structed that as one tooth is broken or
lost another takes its place. The teeth
are not only pointed and keen-edged, but
they are finely and regularly serrated, so
that the cutting power is greatly in
creased. Indeed, so great faculty have
these teeth for wounding, that the inn
plements and weapons upon which they
are used have to be handled with great
care. The Kingmill islanders make many
strange articles of sharks teeth.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR BEGGARs
Singular Profession of a sightless Russian
Peasant.

Singular Profession of q Sightless Russian
Peasant.
A Kiev Russia) correspondent describes
an interesting family of blind peasants
living in the suburbs of Pereyaslav. The
head of the family is a strong and healthy
man, forty-six years of age, blind for the
last twenty years, named Semen Romsic.
his wife is also blind. They have one
child, boy about six years old, and
maintain the mother of Semen and the
aged father Of his wife. The old people
do only the housework, while Semen
himself supports the whole family. He
can do many kinds of work. He chops
wood, weaves baskets and straw hats,
works as a cooper, winds ropes and con-
structs 'Iyres' on which blind Russian
beggars play when they walk about beg
ging in the streets.
All these kinds of labor Semen per-
forms very skilfully, though in a primi-
tive fashion. But he works at such
trades only in the winter months and
when orders are sent to his house. His
practical occupation is training blind
beggars. He takes into his house blind
young fellows who wish to become pro-
fessional beggars and teaches them how
to ply their Grade" Such pupils must
engage themselves to stay with him for
two or three years ard to hand over to
him all that they get by begging in the
streets during that time.
He engages young boys to lead his
pupils about according to his directions,
and pays them twelve roubles year, be-
sides their board and lodging. His pupils
he teaches popular tunes and songs, which
blind beggars recite on various occasions,
the plaintive hymns which they sing at
the gates of the churches, and also teaches
them how to play or accompany them
selves on the beggar's Tyre. He derives
quite an income from his pupils During
the day time he sends. them out to beg in
various directions, and they bring him
coins, bags of vituals, old garments,
towels, handkerchiefs and whatever they
get. What can be used in the establish
house for him; the remaining victuals
are sold as food for cattle in the village
and the old garments to rag peddlers.
And none of the peasants or peddlers
who come to buy Semen's goods can take
advantage of him, for despite his blind
ness, he knows well what wares are
worth. When there is a fair in town he
goes out begging himself and in the
holiday seasons he makes begging trips
to suburban towns and villages. The
rest of the time he is at home instructing
his pupils and filing orders for his me-
chanical work.
