THE power of these great organiza-

remorselessly, has become a distinct

Position of the Two Parties on Silver
Compared.

For centuries throughout the world
and through all the history of this
country down TO 1878, gold and silver
were held to be alike money metals to
which everybody could have recourse,
without restriction, for money supply
and for every money purpose. Both to-
gether constituted the money standard
and obligations of every description
were payable in coin of either metal.
Silver was no more redeemable in gold
than gold in silver. Neither metal
alone at any time constituted the mon
ey standHgd, but both together.
Though coined separately, it was the
mass OF the whole, as much as IL coined
rs a composite metal, that formed the
real money standard and constituted
the money of final redemption for all
obligations
The coinage of the two metals in the
United States was equally free and un-
limited from the establishment of
the mint by the concurrence of Wash
ington, Hamilton and Jefferson, In
1792, till the silver was demonetized
in 1873.
AN NcOai quunIlJy OI cOlntu money
in the world in 1873 was about 80, 50O,-
900, 900 of silver and SO, 750, 900, 900 of
gold, or of both together, say 81, 25O,-
OO0 0OO This mass then constituted
the real money standard. The silver
part was as much money of final re-
demption as the gold, and as much con-
tributed to form the money standard as
the same quantity of gold If this mass
had been melted together and coined as
a composite metal the means of pay
ment and the effect on prices would
have been no different from that pro
duced by the mass of the two metals
coined separately.
But by the monetary revolution of
1873 gold alone was declared the stand
ard and the sole money Of final redemp-
tion. Thus at one stroke the money
standard was changed from a volume

DisaCreeable for Hawk and Mouse.

A sportsman was returning from quail
shooting, when he perceived a sparrow
hawk poise in the air a short distance from
him and then dart fiercely down into the
grass. In a moment the bird flew upward
with something in its talons and utteriug
cries in which acute pain and the fierce JOY
of victory seemed somewhat queerly blend
ed. IL kept screaming and pecking at a
small object in its claws.
The sportsman brought his gun TO his
shoulder and killed the bird. The bird had
driven its claws into the back of a mouse,
perforating the skin, passing beneath two
ribs of the little animal and piercing the
skin again in such manner that il could
not turn its catch loose. The tortured
mouse on his part had seized one Leg of the
bird IN his mouth and buried his teeth into
it just above the joint in the leg, cutting
the bone entirely III two. Both mouse and
bird had been killed outright by the Eu
man animal of prey, the Touse having re
ceived shot in the side and the bird one
in the head.-Waco Day.

When one notes the vigor and enthusiasm
of the Esquimau little folks AT their play
the statement that they are never punished
by their parents seems almost incredible.
Such a superabundance of animal spirits
as they display would straightway get a

an avenging shingle or slipper famed the
air and the boy. But Esquimau small boys
are never sent out after willow switch 10

For Would Be Reporters.

Our advice to every young man about to
enter journalism would be to make the
start as reporter for some country week
ly. That is splendid experience Re
porters for country weeklies get from IS to
SIS week. This experience covering six
months or Year, should be followed by a
years connection with a daily morning
newspaper published in town of not more
than 5O,OOOpopulation; pay from SO to $50
week. This further experience will Cor
ought toy give the young man an acquaint-
ance with general newspaper work-such
details as editing telegraph, reading proof,
writing editorial paragraphs, etc.-kinds of
work that may not fall to his lot subse-
quently, but which he should know all
about
If our young friend at Muscatine is dis
satisfied with his present employment he
will never be n success at it. He complains
of long hours, yet he says that he is fairly
paid. 1t matters not what business he is
engaged in an employe must be worth
more to his employer than he actually re-
ceives in compensation for his services.
This is particularly true in the profession
of journalism.-Eugene Field in Chicago

HUNTERS OF HUMAN HEADS.
Cannibalism stiil Prevails Among Ma

Cannibalism Still Prevails Among Ma
tives of the Solomon Islands.
Among the passengers that arrived by
the steamer Mariposa Saturday was a gen
tleman named Watson. Mr.. Watson has
oeen for many years engaged in trading
among the South Sea islands for copra,
pArl shells and other commodities. He
toid some strange stories to a reporter
about head hunting and cannibalism that
still prevail in the Solomon islands:
Il hrst went to the Solomon group as n
trader for Sydney firm, and having filled
the positions OF storekeeper and land
owner Tor seven years, know these natives
well. My first visit was to the island OF
Tango. Soon after we anchored some ma
uves came off and warned us that the peo-
pie on shore wanted to kill the first white
man they could. Upon being questioned
they stated that some years ago a trader
had been killed by them, and man of-war
had appeared, exacting a heavy fine of
pigs and other things. The war vessel had
been plotted by white man, and the ma
tives had resolved to kill the pilot, and
failing to kill him they intended to take
the life Of the first white man on whom
they could lay their hands. | found out
that the natives were well armed and left
the place
AT the island of Rubiana similar CON
ditions prevail. While we were at Bam-
battan we had narrow escape Among
the natives who came on board were two
chiefs. They finished trading, and | no.
tlced that they kept close to the rudder
trunk of the vessel. / discovered "A canoe
under the stern with natives passing up
axes, and as there were over seventy ma
tives on board the ship they fully intended
to capture us.
Our crew soon got out their arms, and
the scoundrels seeing that we were deter
mined left the vessel. Treachery is rife,
and no white mans life is safe among
them, their utmost desire being to secure
heads. On Bagga island they killed, roast
ed and ate "A man named Childe, who lived
there. / think he was a runaway from
some American whaler, and had lived on
the island for over twenty years"
AT Banletta Mr.. Watson was present
when the captain of the war ship Diamond
visited the islands. Six persons landed,
and there were over fifty natives in am
bush, all armed with guns, ready to mas
sacre the white men il the opportunity of
fered.
Relative to the practice of head hunting
he stated that the natives go from island
to island in search for the prizes, watching
their chances. The heads are used at the
death of a chief or at a canoe launching
As many as five heads planted around the
grave of chief is supposed to appease the
evil spirit that caused the death, while at
u canoe launching the measure of luck that
is in store for the craft is according to the
number of heads that adorn the vessel as
it enters the water.
Mr.. Watson is of the opinion that no one
ought to land on these islands without be-
ing armed. The custom of the British
warships to destroy villages, blow up ca
noes and fire shells over the houses i of
no use, as it only embitters the native.
