Arundel knew that it was useless to
argue with his faithful servant; per-
haps he was too chagrined to trust him
self to speak; anyhow, he sat for
many minutes in sullen silence, Bladon

calmly awaiting the result of the young
mans cogitations. But he waited in
vain; his companion had not word to
say. Now, if Arundel had roundly
abused him he would have taken the
scolding with Indifference. but to see
him sit there in sullen brooding
touched the old mans heart, for he
loved George as his own son. His
anxiety at last broke forth in a petulant
wall.

OUR SILVER DOLLAR.
The Percentage of Alloy In Our standard


COINS.
The weight of pure silver in our
silver dollar has never been decreased
a particle; it always has contained
three hundred and seventy-one and
one-quarter grains of pure silver. In
1887, in order to adopt the handy
French decimal system of alloy. we
put exactly one pound less copper in
two thousand dollars. Thus, when you
hear anyone speak of the debasement
of the United States silver dollar, re-
member that all we have to ask for
giveness for is this trifie, which is al-
lowed by the constitution of the United
States. The sin of debasement, if one
can call it debasement, was commit
ted in 1884 on our gold coins, bv reduc-
ing them about six and one-quarter per
cent. Had they reduced the gold coin
only half as much it would have been
an act strongly Endorsed to-day, but
now unwise to adopt. In 1881. min
ute fraction of gold was added to the
weight of the coin for convenience in
mint calculations. These two, the
gold dollar of twenty-five and eight
tenths and the silver dollar of ALAS
grains of standard metal, meaning
that each thousand parts of coin were
alleged with one hundred parts of cop
per, were the basis dollars on which
the government was conducted from
1887 to 1878. The issue of greenbacks
did not disturb these coined dollars.
These were the legal coins our laws
referred to in the issue of all national
bonds sold during our war of secession.
These were the coined dollars which
we promised to pay in the redemption
of our greenbacks In 1869, in an act
passed to strengthen our public credit,
we find this clause: THE United
States solemnly pledges its faith to
make provision at the earliest prac-
ticable period for the redemption OF
United States notes in coin" In all
these laws the word gold is not used,
but it is always coin We kept coin
ing these silver dollars, to limited
extent, all through the war, although
the silver in them was worth nearly
four per cent more than the gold in
the gold dollar. In 1S71-73 we coined
more than two and half millions of
these silver dollars, each of which con-
siderably exceeded the gold dollar in

word to her room, little thinking, poor
girl, of the stormy clouds gathering
around her.

An Independent Paper That Does Not Pro-

An Independent Paper That Does Not Pro-
pose to BE Intimidated by Impracticable
Theorists.
The Emporia Gazette, the only alli-
ance daily in Kansas, has been criticised
by the bosses of the organization for
its outspoken sentiments against the
sub-treasury scheme and some of the
other wild plans of the leaders, and in
an outspolen and defiant editorial the
editor maintains his right to his indie
pendence. Among other things, after
stating that when he started the paper
for the peoples party nothing more was
demanded than conformity with the ST.
Louis platform, he says:
There were at that time no 'Ocala'
demands, no sub-tressury, no mercan-
tile monopoly, none OF the hundred
schemes and notions which have since
been foisted upon the alliance and
peoples party movement We were
not obliged to accept and advo-
cate all or any of these new
and, in our judgment, impracticable
schemes, certain to wreck any party or
any reform movement that undertakes
promise to publish paper that would
advocate every demand that was sent
out from the alliance supreme council
or any other alliance council or peoples
party convention. We claimed the
right to form and express our own opin-
ions and to give the truth as nearly as
we had it on all questions. When alli-
ance demands seemed to us unreasona-
BILE and impolitic, we declined to advo-
cate them. and when they seemed
seriously wrong and calculated to in
jure third party movement, we said
SO without fear or favor or any breach
of faith toward the alliance cause. And
we shall keep right along just that way
in the middle of the road whatever
may be the consequences"

A Telephone Register.

The present system of charges for
the use of telephones by annual sub
scription is by many considered unjust,
inasmuch as some subscribers speak
often and much, whereas others use
the telephone only occasionally. In
some German telephone offices an cleo
trically driven clock is attached TO each
telephone, which will work as long as
the telephone is off the hook, and stops
directly it is replaced; the service is
charged for according to the time re-
corded. 1t is claimed for this system
that unnecessary conversations are
prevented, that those that take place
are limited to reasonable length, and
the useful efficiency of the whole in
stallation is increased. -Electricity.

An Early Campaign.

The campaign of next year will begin
early. The calls for the state and dis
trict conventions to elect delegates TO
the republican national convention
must be made as early as April Is, and
such conventions will have to be held
not later than the first week in May.
The call for the national convention,
which meets June I, provides that the
delegates shall be selected at least
thirty days in advance, and that at
least twenty days notice shall be given
of conventions that are to choose the
delegates.
