There has been as great improvement in
the plans for getting homes rs in those Of
the houses themselves. The attention
which has been given domestic architecture
has greatly improved its general character
Particularly is this true with respect to
the economical planning and arrangement
of dwellings. As to the outside appearance
there has been at times q disposition to
make that which is strange and unusual
rather than what is absolutely attractive
and beautiful. Nevertheless there has
been progress in the making Of attractive
houses
A double house offers a means of paying
for home; 1t offers a means of avoiding
rent; it is a part of plan for reducing

Strange Eject of Diving.

One of the strange effects of diving, as
recounted by an Australian pearl diver, is
the invariable bad temper felt while
working at the bottom of the sea; and, as
this usually passes away as soon as the
surface is reached, it may be supposed to
be due to che pressure of air inside the
dress, affecting the lungs and through
them the brain. A diver often becomes so
angry at some imaginary wrongdoing on
the part OF those in the boat above that ne
gives the signal to be pulled up with the
intention OF knocking the heads off the
entire crew." only to forget what he came
up for when the surface Is reached.

The swosler song. the swifter wing

From speech by Congressman Davis.
Tie public highways of 4 nation are
to pe the property Of the people. Their
ownership is desmed 50 important that
wars are often wagsd for their poses
sion. The United States originally
paid millions IF dollars for the posses
sion of that highway known as the
Mississippi river At later date the
country spent hundreds OF millions OF
treasure, and poured out blood like
EgsLeE. in order to retain that great
public highway of travel and com
merce. 1 mention these facts to show
the high estimate that is usually at
taehed to the possession OF the great
public highways OF the country. Yet,
strange as it may seem, We have in
this country one hundred and sixty
thousand miles Of the most vsiuHbls
and indispensable highways known TO
man, which are bought and sold as
commodities Of commerce. The rail-
roads OF this country are bonded ana
stocked to an aggregate Of about ten
billions Of dollars The owners OF that
capitalization are called the owners Of
the roads. They have entire control
OF the roads, and OF the travel and
traffic Of this great country. The
longest purse takes the pile Tor a con
trolling interest ia itl and becomes
master OF the situation, ''Ieyying triD-
nte at will Oh all our vast industries
There IS ample evidence to prove
that, at this moment, "a controlling
amount of the capitalization OF our
American railroads is held in tile city
Of Londau, and that the freightz and
fares paid by Americans are fixed by a
British directory. Such 3 statement
is hUmilisting, but it is nevertheless
true.

'PooE.s railroad manual shows that
the average cost OF the railroads of this
country has been $4,000 per mile. The
Reading road is capitalized at $4,000
per mile. Allowing double the aver
age cost because of this road being
Auiit through = mountainous country
it is still capitalized at three times It's
cost. The total capitalization of tine
Heading and other roads which haN q
entered into the eastern coal combine
is ,S2OOOOO,OOO. PoOr's figures show
that S2oo!OOO,OOU of this capitalization
was never invested, but the public Is

V. Hat THE OLD PATTY PA2suRs AItH
BAEINl.

From the Atlanta Constitution, Dem.
Why are the agents Of Wall street
and the money power so keen iu their
opposition to the free coinage OF silvery
Why are ths gOld-buE democrats ready
las far as their power g1es) to break
up their party rather than permit the
majority to carry out its wishesg The
reason is plain: The goid-Bugs are
creditors. and the money their debtors
will be compelled to pay them is
Increasing in value more rapidly than
ANY other form of property.
Let us look into the matter little.
On April 2nd the New York Tribune
remarked that much current com
plant is doubtless due 30 tie FACT
tlIat prices are low, the range Of 200
T. commodities being about Is cents
low er than "a year ago, when tile effects
of the short crops Of 1890 were more
felt
10 get at the real meaning OF this
drop ina prices it is only necessary to
remark that au ounce of silver buIliou
can be exchanged for as great guam
tity Of every commodity, except gold,
as it could have been year ago. In
other words, only gold hus increased
in value, while silver and other com
mOdiLies have maintained their Htus
This i5 the trouble with the gold-bugs.
Gold is increasing in value all the time.
1t has increased 10 per cent during the
past twelve months. ALI debts have
Increased in just that proportion, II
will take twenty pounds OF cotton to
pay q debt which could have been paid
"a year ago with Hbont twelve pounds
THAT is what the single gold stand
ard is doing for the country. 1t robs
the debtor to increase the wealth Of
the creditor. 1t cheats the poor that
the rich may grow richer. This is the
honest dollar, which we hear so much
talked about. This is, in fact, the dis
honest dollar which, constantly in
Creaiug ia value, is grinding every man
that owes "a dollar, cutting down the
wages OF labor and destroying thgpro-
its Of farming. IN one year this So
called honest dollar las increased in
value 5 per cent
Taking an impartial view OF tile
matter, we can only wonder bhst tile
people Of this country have shown so
much patience and f0FbsBrauCs foo the.
face Of the suffering that has been the
relult Of the crime OF stripping silver
OF its money value.
How much longer do they propose
10 put zap with this condition Of
affairs?
