He Was from the Grandest state.


A New Jerseyman was standing on
the Battery sea wall in New York city
when a wave suddenly came along and
drenched both him and the carpetbag
he had laid at his feet.
"Here's an interstate outrage" he ex-
claimed. well see about this" He
walked up to a policeman and asked if
there wasn't some redress. He said he
thought the city ought to post up bills
telling of the dangers of the Battery"
"Oh, come OFF, said the policema,
eff you don't look out I'll arrest you fol
being loose without keeper"
"What do you mean?"
."Don't you know that strangers aren't
allowed in New York without keepers?'
II didn't know it," said the New Jer-
seyman anxiously.
''It's fact, all the same"
"Where can get q keeper"
"Up at the mayors office"
"What do they cost"
Nothing. The city provides them
free. If you had had a keeper he wouldn't
have let you go so near the waves. So.
you see, it's your own fault"
"You don't say! By gosh, it's a funny

ANOTHER WAR RECORD.

Having effectually squelched the ALGER
boom by drawing his war record on him,
some Of the newspapers have dug up the
war record of that distinguished Republi-
can statesman, Colonel MATTHEW STANLEY
Quay, and are spreading 1t before the
country as something which should put
the boss in the background. Like ALGER,
QUAr boosted of his military achievements
and intimated that political endorsement
was due him on their account 1t was for
his proves in the disastrous assault on
Fredericksburg Heights that Quay wanted
commendation, whereupon the Philadelphia
Press, the most influential Republican
organ of the state. says the regiment on
that occasion was led by Lieutenant-Colonel
O'BRIEN, Colonel QUAY choosing the less
exposed part OF aid-de-camp to General
TYLER. The Press continues:
Twice in the battle each time for a very few
minutes, Aide-de-Camp QUAY may have been
within reach of the enemy's bullets. This is to
his credit, but when we cons der the much
greater risk and seYerer service performed by
his comrades in that and score OF other battles
in which QUAY did not participate, it hardly
seems sufficient reason why Secl etary ENDi-
CoTr twenty two years later should give Sena-
tor and National Chairman QUAY medal for
distinguished services the war OF the rebel
lion. 1t is probably not Mr.. QUAY's fault that
his military service as SO br.ef and his expert
ence of battle limited to siggle days fl citing.
But when he is asking for votes on the strength
OF his military record, we protest against these
services being exaggerated and lauded to tho
skies when men who fought through the war
and did greater services many times over than
Aide-de-Camp QUAY are without any unusual
recognition or reward.
If this sort of thing continues it wont be
long before some of these distinguished
soldiers whose fighting qualities were de-
veloped long after the war closed, will
deny that they ever saved the Union Oh
smelt powder even from afar off.

THE SILVER CONFERENCE.

A London dispatch quotes a Berlin cor
respondent as saying that in financial
circles it is not thought that the forth
coming international silver conference will
produce satisfactory results. Germany
accepts only because she does not want to
stand aloof from the other powers. "The
government and the rich," continues the
correspondent shave always been opposed
to bimetalism. They even rejected a
motion a few years ago declaring Ger
msny's willingness to negotiate if England
previously adopted bimetslism."
1t is not likely that anybody ever
thought Germany or Austria would favor
a return to a bimetallic currency. The
last named is now engaged in the work of
converting her silver into gold, and doing
so at heavy financial loss to the govern
ment, to say nothing of the effect
upon the people. Germany is fsnatically
gold standard country. Before the con-
ference opens it may be counted upon as a
certainty that these two governments will
oppose bimetalism. France certainly, and
Italy, probably, will favor the proposition
upon the present ratio of 16 to l. Great
Britain, it is likely, will pull for readiust-
ment of the ratio, so as to equalize the in
trinsic value of the coins. 1t is assumed
that the United States representatives, in
view of the popular feeling in this country
will argue for the continuance of the exist
ing ratio, but may yield something to the
foreign prejudice against silver, pro-
vided thereby an agreement can be
81 hnsu
able number Of the commercial powers.
And herein, in our opinion, lies the danger
from this international conference. OF
course, if the powers, or three or four of
them, agree they can change the ratio and
decree that one of gold shall be equivalent
to eighteen or twenty of silver, still hold.
ing the gold as the standard Of value and
giving 10 silver merely its commodity
value. We say there is danger in this, for
it would leave US with an unstable cur.
rency based upon the market price of the
silver to be paid for in gold. Next year
the "bottom may fall out" of two or three
big silver mines and the white metal being
simply product the price will go up with
the scarcity, and then another readjust
ment of the ratio between gold and silver
as coin metals win he demanded. Or, the
opening of half q dozen rich silver
lodges may knock the price down ant
the goldites will insist upon putting more
metal in the silver coins, so 40 to make
their value, fixed in the bullion market

THE HERALD hopes the conference vii
result in good, and believes it will do SO
regardless of the opposition certain to com,
from Germany and Austria; but if tn,
question of the RECOMMENDATION of silve
turns upon the radical readiustment of tn
ratio, the evil, in our opinion, will be in

faction will be more widespread than it il
today. 1t would be better for the Unite,
States to attempt solution of the problem

Mr.. THATCHER'S ADDRESS.

In another place in this paper appears
verbatim report OF an address delivered in
the Democratic convention at Ogden on
Saturday, by Hon. NOSES THATCHER. MIR.
THATCHER was present as delegate from
Cache, and it becoming known that he was
in the hall there arose a general demand
that he would speak. All accounts of the
convention tell of the enthusiasm inspired
by the address, which was one of the fea-
lures Of the great gathering. The reader
can understand why that speech was so
loudly applauded, why it made such a
powerful impression upon the hearers
The address is mastery from Democratic
and every other point of view, and de,iv-
cred in Mr.. THAToHER's eloquent style
would necessarily be impressive and cap
tivating.
THE HERALD asks Republicans as well
as Democrats to read the speech, and we
request that our friends of the opposition
will contrast it with the addresses of some
of their own orators. There is nothing
abusive in Mr.. THATcHER's utterances
there is no attack upon individuals, no in
diligence in personalities He simply as

A SLUGGISH STREAM
1t Gets Foul and Poisonous Unless it is Kept
Constantly Flowing.

At this season of the year people feel more
or less weak, run down. wearied and depressed
1t has been commonly supposed tEat is due to
impurities of the blood, and that only by puri-
flying the blood can good health be secured
Is this true? Let US see. The blood gets i'm,
pure because it is sluggish How does stream
get impure, with green scum and poisons on the
top? Simply because it doesn't run run
ming stream is not impure. but stagnant or
sluggish stream always is. If, therefore, you
would keep your blood pure, keep 1t moving,
keep 1t throbbing. The moment 1t begins to be
sluggish, IL will begin to be impure, and you
will feel the effect in tired, weak feelings. de-
pressed emotions. and a thousand and one
troubles which always follow. The proper
way to keep the blood stirring is by the use
of pure stimulant, in moderation. Stimulate
ii gently, and it will keep in constant. healthy
motion, and good health will follow. There is
but one way in which this can be done, and
that is by the use of the purest and best stinu
liant you can find, preferably whisky, and there
is but one absolutely pure medicinal whisky
known to the world. and that is Duny's Pure
Malt Scientists admit this, the doctors all
confirm it. 1t is more generally USED TO day
than any other whisky which The world has
ever seen, and IL is popular only through its
merit Do not let any druggist or grocer de-
ceive you by saying they have something Just
as good" something they can recommend"
etc. When any dealer says this he has an in
terested motive. which usually is to sell you
something cheap and inferior, on which he can
make more money Do not be so deceived.
