THE issue.

Silver coinage or no silver coin age?
That is the issue, and ell other pre-
tended issues are false pretenses.
They are false pretenses devised
and designed to deceive the voters OF
this country.
They IRE false pretenses upheld by
base sophisms aud lies told by hired
liars, and need not deceive any one.
Silver was demonetized originally
by lie told by John Sherman in his
place ON the floor Of the United States
Senate.
It. was demonetized wnen it oom-

over gold.
It was lemonetized Mt time when
the people of the United States owed
prodigious sums Of money which were
contracted payable in gold and silver

Two BOy-Bishops.

In the stately nave of the ancient English
cathedral OF Salisbury there Is singular
monument which dates from the thirteenth
century. IL is the recumbent figure Of a
boy twelve years old. He is clothed in the
fun pOntifical robes Of an English bishop,
wears a mitre and holds the shepherds
crook, which are the insignia OF the episco-
pal office.
Tradition saws that previous 20 the six
teenth century a curious custom was OBJ
served by the boys in the choir Of this cathe-
dral, and also in the colleges Of Elton and
Winchester.
In December Of each year they chose
from among their number The boy who was
most eminent for his pure lite and his faith
fitness in the service OF God ia the church.
lie was elected bishop and for four weeks
bore the title and received the honor due 10
that dignitary. IL was tradition that II
any boy should die during his Drief term OF
Office he should be buried as If he were
real prelate, IN bis robes OF ONCE III tue
nave u the church.
The only bOy-bishOp who received this
nnai honor was the nameless lad, whose
gentle, meek face looks upon us here after
tle lapse Of six hundred years.
IN singular contrast with this tradition,
us scenery and significance, is the story OF
smother boy, who also received, with as
much or as little reason, the title OF blshop,

celved little schooling on weekdays and
less on Sundays. But he had managed 10
gfapple with one or two living truths. lie
made them his own, aud held them like
rod over his fellows.
lie was an obstinate, vehement, energetic
boy; IA born leader. His clothes were
ragged, his feet bare; he could not speak a
grammatical sentence, but he ruled his
companions like q Napoleon. He formed
them into a club, sixty in number, Of which

Tho Te.tlmonx of o sceptic.

Here is the testimony of sceptic himself
TO the truth OF Christianity. made before MS
death. This was the brilliant Henri Heine;
and the authority for this is French news
paper, which is quoted by the Christian
Guardian, of Toronto. Heiue, Ii says, made
an extraordinary avowal Of his conversion
10 Christianity before his death. Amid
great and terrible sunerings he displayed
astonishing peace and resignation. Whom
the friend who reports the matter asked him
to explain his serenity, he replied; my
friend, believe me, IL is Henri Heine who
tells you so and after having reflected on IT
for years, and having reconsidered and
maturely weighed what has been written
on this subject by men OF all sorts, believe
me that have reached conclusion that
there is a God who judges our conduct, that
the soul is immortal, and that after this
life there is God who judges our conduct
that the soul is immortal, and that after
this life there is another, when the good
will be rewarded and the wicked punished.
Yes: this Is what Henri Heine says, who
has so often denied the Holy Ghost. If ever
you have doubted these grand truths, Hing
from you these doubts, and learn by nv
example that nothing but simple faith in
Gods mercy can sustain, without repining,
atrocious pains. Without that faith, con-
WINGED as am that my bodily state is des-
perate, | should long since have put an end
10 my days" Then he added "Thore are
fools who, having passed their lives IN
scepticism and mistake, and denied God in
their works and acts. have not courage TO
own that they are wholly deceived. AS for
me, feel compelled 20 declare that it is a
cursed falsehood which long made me
blind"

Contemporary Appreciation.

Shakespeare had enemies among the small
men of bis day. Thomas Rymer considered
"Othello7-One of the worlds chiefest
gl0ties-as "a senseless, trifling tale.' lie
accused Shakespeare OF 'unhallowlng the
theatre, prOfaning the name OF tragedy"
etc. Giidon and Dennis wrote IN the same
stupid strain Of depreciation later. But

The international Language.

Asof all barriers which divide the nations
that Of language is the greatest, II has long
been a dream Of statesmen and scholars 10
break down this partition wall. Urged by
this desire, phll0lOgists have sought dill
gently 10 create an international language,
but, until recently, without success.
The man who seems TO have in great
measure solved this problem OF common
language is John Martin Schleyer, who was
born in Baden some sixty years ago. n
clergyman and a scholar, whose fayorite
pursuit WAS philology, he devoted himself
for thirty years TO the study Of various lam
gusges and dialects. hoping to evolve from
the best features OF them all q universal
language. His researches had embraced
fifty different tongues, and from them he had
gathered a store of material so vast and 50
confusing that he found 1t impossible 70
arrange II in one simple and harmonious
whole The moro he studied the further he
seemed from his goal. At last that which
he had so long sought came 10 him almost
by miracle. On the night Of March 81, 1873.
he retired TO his rest, his mind full OF the
subject which bad iof years been uipermost
in his thoughts. AS he slept, lie dreamed.
There came TO him vision in which the re-
quired forms and characters passed in veil
ordered array before his mind. On waking,
the dream remained fixed IN his memory,
and he wrote down on a single sheet OF
note paper what is the substance OF the
whole Nolapuk language OF to-day.
For several years his invention met the
common fate of new discoveries, ridicule
and contempt. Then scholars began to look
into il, and were surprised at its simplicity,
comprehensiyeness aud practical value.
Soon il was taken up In Vienna and Paris.
Adopted in the latter city by the learned
director Of technical instruction, II soon
enrolled $500 pupils as its students. II soon
spread all over Europe and 10 China ana
Japan In 1885, the first international
Noiapuk congress was held In Munich; TINS
WAS followed by one in Paris two years
later.
The capabilty OF Nolapuk 10 express all
sorts OF ideas, from the dryest science 10
poetry, has been fully tested. In 1889.
North American Nolapuk Association was
formed. 1t has already held two conYen-
tions, one in Boston, the other at Chan-
tauqua. in 1889. a Nolapuk class was
formed In the Boston evening high school,
and OF It's one hundred students, ninety-two
graduated. In Chicago, a circle OF Nolapux
speakers has been organized with view 10
converse with adopts In the language VINO
shall visit the Worlds Fair.
Nearly 1900 books have already appeared
In Volapuk. They embrace wide range
OF literature, travel, science, history ana

The Alabama Vote.


Governor Jones received majority OF
the white votes cast in the late election,
and two thirds of the white Democratic
vote. Governor Jones elso carried ma
lority of the white vote IN every county
carried by him, whether within or without
the black belt. These facts will be estao-
lished to the satisfaction of any one vino
VIII take the pains to examine the elec-
ton returns and couple them with the
common knowledge as 70 the proportion
OF white and black votes, and how the ne
groes voted.
la many of the white counties carried
by Kolb q considerable majority OF the
whites voted for the Governor, and kolb's
majority is made up entirely OF the negro
vote-for instance, Madison. Dekslb.
Etowah, Tuscaloosa, Butler, Coosa, Pike,
Shelby, Elmore, and Clay. In other OF
the white counties Kolb's majority was
largely made of the negro majority. as in
Bib, Blount, Cherokee, Chiffon. Coffee,
Crenshaw, Dale, Henry, Limestone. La
mar. Randolph, st. Clair, and Walker.
The Governor carried four of the largest
white counties IN the State by handsome
majoritles-so wit: Jefferson, Mobile,
Jackson, and Calhoun. There is hardly a
county in North Alabama where the Gov
ernor did not have handsome majority
OF the white Democrats.
