No Compromise-Again.

Those who are disposed 10 censure Mr..
BLAND and his committee for insisting
upon the passage by the present Congress
of a bill for the free coinage OF silver
should remember that 1t is because he and
they consider the characterization of silver
in 1878 crime which has never been
atoned for and the cause OF evils under
which the whole country is still labCring.
1t is easy enough TO find fault with men OF
strong convictions, but not SO easy to
answer their appeals to your sense of JUS
tice when they show that the much-de-
rided dollar Of the dsddies" will now, at
its bullion value. purchase as much corn,
wheat. -four, and other articles as
il would have purchased in 1873. The
Government of the United States has paid
of hundreds of millions of its debt during
the last twenty years. and all this money
has gone into the pockets of men who are
now denouncing Mr.. BLAND and his COM
mittee, and yet if no and his committee
are night in their calculations it would re-
uuire more bales of cotton TO pay oil the
rest Of the debt than il would have re-
unired TO pay the whole of 1t before the
depreciation in the value OF silver and
commodities in general. and the apprecia-
ton IN the value of gold began. This Is
well high an incredible statement. IL
takes us by surprise TO learn that the peo-
pie have suffered already loss OF hum
dreds Of millions of dollars as a conse-
quence OF the monometallistic legislation
OF Congress. We are not prepared for the
sverment that the people have already
lost the immense sum Of money which the
opponents Of tree coinage say is to be lost
by them as q consequence Of the passage
Of that measure should it become law.
II is the fact which we have inst men,
toned which causes so many Of the advo-
Gates Of free coinage to declare against
any compromise measure. We have over
and over again said since the result of last
November's elections became known that
the silver question would be side-tracked
at Chicago. Such compromise seems to
be necessity Of "the situation" Never
theiess, We do not intend TO drop the sub
ject forever nor TO make q compromise
which will turn out to be no compromise
ct all so far as the monometallists are con-
cerned, but mere trifina with the masses
of the people.
Dir. BLAND cannot agree TO compro-
mise because he hnds the value Of all the
bonds, stocks, lands, tenements. and heredt
tarnents OF this country measured In gold--
metal which does not come into the
hands Of the working people at all. He
knows that the square OF the hypothenuse
Of right-snsled triangle Is equal 10 the
sum Of the squares Of the other two sides,
or in other words, he knows that II gold

nr Aaxvw tho famous Philadelphia sur.

DR.. AexKw, the famous Philadelphia sur
geon. whose death has been announced IN
this paper, owed no little of his success as
skllful operator to the fact that he was
ambidextrous. This was in great part the
result Of having broken his right arm In
early life. Having thus learned TO depend
largely upon his left hand he kept the
habit up to a considerable extent, and 1t
often stood him in good stead.
The deceased was the surgeon who per-
formed the operation on President GAR
FIELD. but he was not very hopeful OF
success, and it did not do any real good.

The Use of separators.

The subject of separators has been a
prolific topic for discussion at the bee
meetings and in the bee journals. AS is
usual, the question, "Separators or notY'
calls forth widely varying replies, some
beekeepers favoring their use, while
others look upon them as an unnecessary
expense. One correspondent tells why he
uses separators; another explains why he
doesn't use separators; one favors wood
separators and another tin separators,
etc. In summing up the matter w.
q. Hutchinson, the editor of The Bee
keepers Review, disposes of the ques-
ton as follows: 81 think all will admit
that only straight combs ought to be
put upon the market. II the condition
of the honey flow and colonies or of the
management result in straight combs
without separators, then they are use
less expense; otherwise they ought to be
used. Combs need not necessarily be
as straight as board, but so straight
that they may be readily removed from
the case without injury. If beekeeper
can secure nearly all straight combs
without separators, and has local mar
keith which he can sell direct to con-
sumers-for the few bulged combs that
he may have, separators would still be a
useless expense. When separators are
needed it appears to be settled that wood
is preferable for loose separators and tin
for those to be nailed fast to wide
frames -
The Portland daily press., 1892-12-17

the directory went to considerable trou'
BILE to locate the whereabouts of its orig
inator and manager. He was finally
discovered away up in the mountains Of
Colorado prospecting for silver and
finding sufficient as he puts 1t, to keep
the camp in rations 1t needed some
little persuasion to bring him to the
Windy City, but he is here, and so 1t
happens that the same old grizzled vet
eran of Centennial recollections, Major
Marsh w. Kasson, is for the second time
chief of the public comfort department
of an American Worlds fair.
AS the result of his experience, COM
bined with new ideas, an elaborate
scheme has been devised. The enormous
terminal building, through which every
visitor reaching the grounds by steam
car must enter, has been selected as the
main bureau, and numerous others will
be scattered over the ground, as well as
located in the larger structures devoted
to manufactures, mining and probably
fisheries.
In all of these there will be provision
for what may be termed everyday neces-
sites, big resting rooms with comfort
able easy chairs, ladies' parlors, writing
rooms, lavatories, bootblacks and news
paper stands, and commodious eating
rooms, where those who bring their
lunches in preference to patronizing the
expensive menus of the restaurants may
eat at their leisure and get a cup of cot
rs o,-1,1 +1ao on1idc Tha1-o will
be registers upon which the visitors
may inscribe their names, where they
came from, where they are stopping,
when they propose to return, SO that
their friends and neighbors may round
them up, as it were, and have reunion
away from home.
Polite attendants will be on hand
prined with information on about every
subject under the sun. Telegraphic dis
patches will be received and sent, tick
cts reserved for places of amusement.
sleeping accommodations secured for
visitors homeward bound and hand bag
gage and parcels taken care of. And i'll
relation to the latter convenience it is
interesting to recall the fact that OF
nearly quarter of million articles
handled by the Centen' s-s bureau SO
perfect was Major Kasso % ystem that
but single piece, and that lady's par
asol, failed to reach its owner, and the
latter, womanlike, very re- lily accepted
five dollar bill as an equivalent.
Last, but not least, the Columbian
bureau has perfected a plan by which it
expects to be able to provide comfort
able sleeping place for every prospective
visitor that may seek its good offices to
that end, even if they were to swoop
down upon it a half million strong. But
that's another story.
