THOUGHTS Of a Day

Among Dickens Sketch Books there
is somewhere a short work on charac-
ter study. In this list not the least in
teresting is an essay on one type of
young men which he calls the Sarcastic
young man. The essay is hardly more
than a study, still it is interesting for
its aptness. That the character is
drawn in strong, distinct lines need
hardly be said considering the author
of the piece. But the article is instruct
i've also from the very fact that the
character is one we are sure TO meet in
any society. This young or middle aged
man, for he is not limited closely to age
save that he is seldom over thirty-five,
is "a peculiar product of society. He is
different from the "conceited" young
man: nor is he necessarily righteous
young man.. lie is different from
them both He hates them both al
though he will never tell you So lie
will throw out "slur" now and then
about them; but as to hating them, he
is satisfied with his own opinion that
he is above them. Still this young
man is really a cOnceited fellow. He
will not tell you about it though, for
that would be like that "conceited
young man.. If any body does any
thing, Of whatsoever merit. he will not
say that he can excel it, but merely
that the effort is quite despicable. He
will not try to emulate lest he make a
failure of it. still he would like to have
people infer that he could do such and
such thing ever so much better ''if he
would only try. This young man has
no belief in religion at all because, as
he inwardly believes. but does pot say.
only wishes to have inferred, it does
not appeal to the higher order of intel
lect, etc. However. this young man
claims to be a model young man. He
would laugh ut yon if you were TO call
him conceited, irTeligeous. unsocial or
modifying. In short he is the conceit-
ed young man with what he calls
to keep it to himself, but
what is really want of franknesS

MORE ABOUT SILVER.

To continue The subject for the beue-
fit of sons enquring patrons we again
take up the much agitated silver ques-
ton. IN our last article we noticed
several points against the free coinage
of silver. Firstly, after a free coinage
of silver had been granted a free coin
age Of nickle and copper could not be
logically refused. Secondly, the silver
dollar, worth but S7l9 cents, can not be
foisted off upon the public to any con
siderable extent, for the moment it sup
plies crying demand it will depreciate
in value. Thirdly. gold is the only firm
basis for currency. These are three
logical conclusions. Now, from this
standpoint let us start out again.
1t is continually urged by silver
men" that if the government should
coin al the silver ore presented at its
mint, gratis, at 4i2ia grains or STls
cents worth to Che dollar that at once
the price would adjust Itself to that
basis and would stand uniform at that.
What advantage is 20 BE- derived from
this, may be asked at will increase
our currency, is urged. in/the first
place we have seen before that such n
value is arbitrary and can not stand.
In the second place thA increase in Cur
rency would be a delusion, Gold, the
other metal used in orr currency would
be driven out of circulation. III the
''silver dollar" becomes worth u dollar
the gold dollar" will become worth
more than dollar, using this term in
the abstract sense. That would con
tract our currency by just so much and
prove another source Of needful legis
lation.
But this ''silver dollar" will not con.
tinue worth a dollar OF any other one

thing. 1t is a commercial commodity
throughout the world and raises and
falls in value with supply and demand.
Since 1888 it has advanced fully ten
cents per ounce. And this immense
ebb and flow in value could not be stop
ped by the arbitrary action of single
government.
Again should such measure as is
contemplated be passed, it would make
this country the dump-heap of all the
surplus silver of the world. A foreign
er might bring here, as the price stood
in 1883, eighty-four cents worth of sill
yer and get it stamped into good Am
erican dollar and that would be what
the farmers would receive for their
wheat lie might buy dollars worth
of goods for it, and this all for eighty
four cents! That would really mean,
under these circumstances, the robbing
of this country of sixteen cents on
every dollar coined.
Much has been said about how cheap
er money would benefit the poor man.
But he should remember that the debts
incurred by him will be just as much
greater as the prices he receives for his
produce are greater. 1t will make no
material difference to him in that line.
The only person it really will benefit
is the silyer-mine owners. They will
reap bounteously from it. But we will
have to pay for it.
However we must have more curren-
cy. But it must be on single firm
basis, as any thing else. 1t must be is
sued on the gold basis. We do not
really want more gold and silver cur
rency, but more paper which represents
good gold and can be converted into
that at the United States Treasury.
This will supply every need for a more
extensive currency.
It will give to every man dollar,
whose value can not be effected either
by fire or panic. 1t will ever stand the
same in value, aseXperience has proven.
1t is the only straight forward policy,
which does not crook after advantages
for a particular class. and must COM
mend itself to every reasoning man.

BOASTED ECONOMY.

The pet cry with Democrats has al
ways been that of so-called eXtrava-
gance on the part of Republican legis-
lators. 1t has been the only permanent
ground for complaint, Just because it
is the natural one for oppositionists.
Measures whose utility is indisputable
may be opposed because of their "eN-
travagance" without the need of logi-
cal reasoning.
1t is for this reason that the party
has gradually taken to itself the name
of advocating an economic policy. And
it was with many loud-sounding prom
ises of this that it went into power last
fall. We have now to see how thor
oughly they have abided'by their prom
Uses, or rather what might be called a
faithful fullfillment of them in spirit
rather than letter.
Our own representative, worthy
Democrat, is helping in his own small
way, toward this glittering goal of po-
itical perfection, economy" He has
just introduced a bill by which the
pages and doorkeepers may be supplied
with pretty silver badges at two dollars
each. The "cxtravagant" Republican
legislators could do without this how

BY defeating the English and Classical

Interscholastic championship and the cup
offered by the Brown University football
association for the winner Of that title.
Each had won six games when they met
yesterday afternoon, and of course both
teams were in fine fettle and eager for the
play. The English and Classical boys
started in with rush and had things
very much their own way for the first
hall, and when time was called the score
stood TO in their favor.
Things changed wonderfully in the sec
ond half and instead of the English and
Classical boys having a sure thing the
High School team turned things upside
down and reversed the order so that when
the second half was finished the High
School had score of three touchdowns and
two goals which was sufficient TO win the
game with good margin TO spare.
The High School team distinguished it
self in the second half by its clever block
ing. The commendable work OF the teams
was done by Vose, Mckinney, Green,
Stranger, Warner, Potter and Stone. The
teams lined uD as follows:

THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST.
The Candidates Are Now Prepared

ship candidates have opened their head

Mcmillan at the Metropolitan, and Sprin-
ger at the National.
But until next week, when the Thanks

of speculation at the headquarters. 1t will

votes for Crisp, which a Crisp enthusiast
having access TO local paper which is ex-
tensively copied, set afloat to-day Ii is
only necessary TO take the requisite num-
ber of votes from the list and give them
to your candidate.
As a matter of fact, no candidate now
has majority of the 237 possible Demo
cratic votes. Mills, who unquestionably
comes nearest TO IL, has between 81 and 80 ;
Crisp. between 55 and GO, and the rest are
for the time being with Mcmillan and
Hatch, most of whose supporters prefer
Mills TO Crisp and Springer, and whose
outside supporters are mostly availipg
themselves OF Springer To keep from de
clarinR as between Mills and Crisp till
they find out which is to be elected.

NO DELAY FOR GRAVES.
His Trial in Denver Must Proceed at
Once,
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l

DENVER, Col, Nov. I.-The motion of
Counselor Furman for delay of ninety
days in the trial of Or. T. Thatcher
Graves for the murder of Mrs. Bar
naby was overruled by Judge Rising to-
day.
In denying the motion the Judge said
that Lawyer Ballou and DIR. Graves must
personally know every witness sum
moned from Providence, as both, no
doubt. had been intimately acquainted
with them. There was, therefore, in his
opinion, no necessity for delay in order to
have justice shown to the prisoner.
Lawyer Furman took an execution, but
said he would be ready to go on with the
trial tomorrow morning.
Judge Rising said he thought even that
much delay was unnecessary, and an
nounced that he would commence to draw
the jury at 2o'clock in the afternoon.
DIR. Graves appeared very nervous while
Judge Rising was delivering his opinion.
DIR. Graves undertook last night to in
duce the representative of the Denver
Nc,cs to publish an attack on the Provi-
dence newspaper men and to send the mat
ter out to his Eastern papers. This the
newspaper man declined to do.
