COAXING a DILEMMA

From the Atlanta Constitution Cincinnati Letter.
Senator Carlisle is here today. Speak
ing of the free coinage of silver, the sen
ator showed that he was by no means a
convert, though he will vote for the
measure. Il will vote for it as a politi-
cal necessity" said he. 1.-The people will
have it and we have got to take the dose.
The sooner it is over the better. 1t will
be passed by congress before the HOLIDAYS.
The house will take it right up and pass
it. and in the senate it will be called up
by some man like Senator Stewart and
mittee. Then Harrison will be in a di-
lemma. He will be afraid to sign it be-
cause of his eastern friends, and afraid
to veto it because of the west. Mention
was made by one present TO the
effect that the holders of bullion would
make by the free coinage of silver dol
lars of the present weight and fineness.
Senator Carlisle said: ''Of course they
make by it. / would heartily support
the free coinage of a dollars worth of
silver. Nobody could be hurt by that
| am bl-metallist. and believe in keep
ing gold and silver on q parity. Of
course, we have got TO have coin. We
will use paper money most conveniently
and il must be based on something, and
silver and gold are the matals To base it
on. tell these people that whatever
kind of money the government NAV is
sue, it will al go back 70 Wall street
under the present system of taxation.
Theses bankers will get it sure. One
thing to do is to take of the tax which
is taking the life out Of them"

THE DRAIN OF GOLD,

joel Cook in the June Forum
Probably the paramount immediate
phase of our finances has been the copious
outflow of gold that has been going from
New York to Europe in a steady stream,
which early i'll May was swollen to the
volume of million a day. Whether the
United States can stand such a drain of
gold has often been the subject Of serious
consideration, but an important factor in
the situation must not be forgotten, and
this is that the United States is a large
producer of gold, as of wheat, cotton
and silver, and it can afford to spare a
generous surplus of any of its staple
crops for foreign consumption. During
more than half-year past, the United
States has been the only leading country
in the world that has had comparative
financial health, and this has come main
ly through its possession of the largest
stocks of the precious metals and the
generally good condition of its govern
ment finances. If Europe has to buy
food of us to anything like the amounts
expected, there is prevalent belief
among our bankers that in the autumn
the golden stream across the ocean will
again turn strongly westward.

and look at second time. He IS one of
the most prominent men IN the tribe.
wealthy, educated and thoroughly Ameri-
| canized.
Babies are in demand In the Sac and Fox
country just at present. An amusing in
| cident of such demand is related by one
who was recently over there. Sons time
ago an Indian became suspicious that his
wife was not as true to him as she should
be and parted from her. They had baby
and the wife took it, This was before the
treaty, and the husband was agreeable;
but since then as each baby has become
worth 160 acres of land and $50 in cash,
the paternal instincts of the Indian were
aroused and he brought suit last week be-
fore Judge Goodall, Of the council, for the
recovery Of the child. The mother fought
the suit most bitterly, for the child was
worth as much to her as to the father,
and the trial of the case lasted several
days. The mother swore on the stand
that the husband had no claim on the
child as ne was not the father, and sue
ceeded in getting the decision in her
favor.
There are good many members Of other
tribes intermarried with the Sacs and
Foxes, and also a number of whites Near
ly all of them have been adopted into the
tribe and receive the same amount OF land
and money as the blood members,
The council, which consists of several of
the prominent men from each band, has
the power of accepting or rejecting the APP
plicant for adoption, and sometimes their
decisions seem wrong. The case IS cited
of Mrs Powers, who is a widow of a
member of the tribe who was one of the
prominent men III his day, holding the
position of delegate to Washington and
other prominent places The widow is a
white woman, now some 65 years of age,
forty-two of which she has spent with the
tribe, but has never been adopted. The

her witch. She has fine place of 100
acres. with orchard, etc, but il the council
refuses to adopt her and put her name on
the list she will lose her farm and get none
of the payment. 1t seems hard that she
should be treated in this manner.

A NOVEL IDEA.
To Cure Diphtheria by Inoeuiating the
Patient for Erysipeizs.

To Cure Diphtheria by Inoeuiating the
Patient for Erysipeizs.
Not the least startling among modern
methods in medicine is the recently pro-
posed one of treating diphtheria by inocu-
lating the patient for erysipelas. Accord
ing TO The Repertoire de Pharmacie, ply
stefan who was attending case of gravs
diphtheria, occurring in his own son. noted
the appearance of erysipelas on the face
coincidentally with a rapid change for
the better. The fever rapidly fell, the false
membrane disappeared, and cure rapidly
took place. This physician. DR.. Babchinski,
Is credited with the statement in another
Journal that in several other cases be noted
great improvement coincident with the
appearance of erysipelas, and in one OF
them the erysipelas occurred on the leg,
and not on the face. These facts suggested
to DR.. Babchinski the idea of iuoculating
diphtheria cases with blood taken from
patients suffering from erysipelas, and ne
states that in several cases in which he en-
ployed this procedure cure resulted. Later
on he practiced incubation OF other cases
of diphtheria with cultures OF the microbe
OF erysipelas in agar-agar, and likewise no.
ticed the disappearance Of the symptoms
of diphtheria. lie further adds that when
the NEGOTIATIONS were made all special
treatment was suspended, and in no case
did the erysipelas present any sufiicieue
gravity TO cause Uneasiness He concludes
by stating that if his observations and ex-
periences are confirmed this treatment
should rob diphtberia of all its dangers.

that the act of making the territory OF

all residents should become citizens
would have no weight on the statutes of

from the governors chair will prove to
be chain of fortuitous circumstances,
occurring at a most opportune time.
The question of aliens and alien citizen
ship is an important one at any and all

cial interest and potentiality, and the

and more critical examination than it
would were present conditions touching

A NEW ERA IN METALS.

DR.. Lee Wadsworth, editor of the
Aluminium Age, published at Cincinnati,
o., announces the reduction to 80 cents
per pound or $3.50 per ton in the price OF
aluminium, ''the metal of the future. >
A Newport firm will put it on the mar
ket this week in unlimited quantities at
the reduced price. A much higher price
has heretofore been paid for it. DR..
Wadsworth says the reduction is due to
improved facilities for extracting the
metal from the clay, its production on a
larger scale than ever before and the
law suits now pending in the United
States courts between rival manufacture
erS of the metal.
The remarkable thing about this IS
that Kentucky should lead off in an en-
terprise that promises to revolutlonlze
the world Of metals, when she has per-
mitted illimitable wealth in minerals to
lay dormant in her hills for ages simply
from lack of energy to develop and util-
ize it. The value of album, as it is
called for short, consists in its anti-cor-
rosive qualities. its superior strength
over any other known metal, and its
lightness, being only about one-fourth
the weight of steel, which, together, will
give it preference in a great many uses.

Rev. J. D. Fulton. Baptist minister
from Quebec, filled the pulpit usually
occupied by the Rev. Johnston Myers in
Cincinnati last Sunday week. In his dis
course he eulogized Secretary Blaine in
connection with the Italian embroglio,
saying: "Ir. Blaine is the schoolmaster
of the world. The sentiment was re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause, the
hand-clapping lasting several minutes.
Some Of the old staid members, however,
looked at each other in establishment
and the visiting preacher was completely
nonplussed. In noting the incident

was Blaine, however, and a Republican
outburst, OF course excusable, and adds:
'tJust let the church congregation do the
like for Cleveland once, and we shall see
what we shall see" But there is no
danger; the mention of Cleveland's
name has no such magnetic, electrifying
effect.

Mention of the catfish that was caught
in barn near Chisholm creek, in the
eastern suburb of this city, prompted
the Kansas City Star to make some re-
mark about Wichita as a watering place.
and that paper has since admitted that
boys are catching fish by the hundreds
with seines in the streets of that CITY.
We are curious to know what the boys
do with the fish.

Mosquito Bites
From an Exchange.

Numerous remedies have been pre-
scribed for mosquito bites, but German
writer says that ordinary soap is as good
as any of them. He always carries a
small piece with him on his country ex-
cursions, and in case of bite makes a
lather over the affected part and allows
it to dry on. The burning is at once re-
lieved and all pain soon disappears.
Should it return, as sometimes happens,
it is only necessary to repeat the applica-
ton.

A newspaper has many channels of
profit. 1t it cannot make money one
way it can another. Judge Seney, of
Toledo, Ohio, edited the Columbus Post
for one consecutive week, and the own
erS of that paper think that he damaged
it to the extent of $4,000, and have
brought suit for that amount.
