A Comparison.
To the Editor of THE ADVOCATE:

To the Editor Of The ADVOCATE:
The republicans Of Rice county had
rally ct Lyons on last Saturday, the 10th
inst. Ex-Gov. George 7. Anthony was
advertised thoroughly throughout the
county for the occasion. A balloon as
cenSion was also advertised for the same
place and date. And with all the drum
ming up, the rally did not come up to the
PopuliSt meeting one week preceding.
The Popullst gathering outnumbered the
republican by four to one, and that not
withStanding large railroad show ex-
hibItsd In Lyons on the day before the
Peoples rally. Jerry Simpson andrL d.
Lswelling were the Peoples speakers on
the Sd. The speech Of Ex- Gov Anthony
on the 10th was one Of those characterls-
tic abusive speeches 80 comm n to men
Of his stripe. Upon the whole lt proved
a gala day for the people. ~

Paradise was scarcely more successful
than our modest secretary in lS66-7-s.
You say that no deductions are made
for lost and destroyed currency because
''the department has no authority to do
duct from it's liabilities any estimated
amount Of such LOSSES"
Yet, when the secretary assumes TO
"essimate" the population Of the country,
and to estimate" from month TO month
the amount Of currency In the hands Of
the people, either with or without law,
then those estimates" and the resultant
percapita should be approximately cor
rect II $46,0OO,OO0 Of gresnbacks are
missing, aud II S15OOOOOOO Of gold has
gone to EuropO, as claimed by Senator
Plumb four years ago, then those Items,
and numerous others, should be duly
ESTIMATED" and allowed proper weight.
II the government requires Of the Sec
retary truthful report, then the secre-
tary should make it truthful. II that is
impossible, then he should state the
case so that people can make
their own "estimstes." It Is certainly
not the part Of a public officer to miOlead
the people, and then ask to be excused
on the ground OF "no authority" t6 do
otherwlsel
Mr.. Secretary, we are In the midst OF
serious crisis. A leading republican SEN
ator has recently said that we are in the
midst Of troublous times; that q million
Of men are hunting work; that capital ID
arrsyed against labor; that our glorious
land OF liberty is fast becoming "the
home of che rich and the land Of the
slavel"
Here, in my beloved state, men are los
ing their homes through sheriff's sales
and foreclosures with frightful rapldity.
In four states Of this union troops were
recently called out to quiet the unrest Of
the people. In places men and women
are dying from starvation and Pinkerton
bullets. Let us seek the cause Of these
distresSes. In a ten years struggle Ike
this in England (from 1876 to 1s26),
brought on by the contraction Of the cur
rency, four-ffths Of the land-holders Of
England lost their lands. And the suf-
ferings Of the common people were 90
great that large additions to the troops
were necessary to preserve the peace
while men, women and children died Of
starvation. Similar causes under similar
circumstances uniformly produce the
same results. The unrest Of the great
American people proves the fsllacy Of
the statement that there has been no con-
traction Of the currency. All the symp-
toms Of contraction are present.
Mr.. Secretary, l am opposed to the
death Of popular liberty In America, and
the erection upon It's tomb Of q nation Of
ssrfS and tenantsl This Is my excuse for
earnest words. Respectfully yours.

Forest Planting.

In the coal regions of PENNSYLVANIA
nearly every piece of available timber
has been cut away TO form props for the
archways and for various other uses in
connection Win coal mining. Nearly
every stick and every piece Of plank
used IN these regions now all have TO be
brought from distance. The Girard
estate has endeavored To solve the pro-
blem by making some small plantations
as test. Eight years ago a large mum
ber of larches and Scotch pines were
planted; plow burrows We're simply
driven through the underhrush growing
up where the old forests had been cut
away, and one-year-old seeding larches
and pines planted. The larches now
average some seventeen or eighteen feet
high, and are particularly healthy and
thrifty. There can be no doubt, from
these experiments. that forest planting
in these regionswould be an undoubted
success.
1t may be noted that the larch was
the most popular of forest trees in the
early planting ON the western prairie,
but the leaves were attacked bv fun
gus; the timber therefore did not prop
erly mature. 1t finally fell into dis
favor for forest planting. On these early
experiments the larch has suffered much
in reputation. but it must be remem-
bered that the western prairies furnish
unfavorable conditions fer the larch.
1t is mountain tree, one thriving in
comparatively poor soils, and the low
altitude and rich earth of western prai-
ries We're entirely foreign to its nature.
The Girard paintings are some 400
or 1,500 feet above the level of the sea;
these are the conditions of its own home,
and the remarkable healthiness of these
trees shows that they appreciate the po-
sition in which they find themselves.

ONE Mans Pessimism.


"The pessimism of some men is sim
ply astounding" said visitor in the
city. why, l know a fellow who actu-
ally insulted another man for saving his
life. The way it happened was this:
"a devilish, bright but knockabout
sort of chap named Whitaker was one
day sitting on the veranda of a country
hotel in southwestern town chatting
with number of friends. Some one
happened to call him by name, and an
old white whiskered gentleman stand
ing near by came waltzing up TO the
crowd, and holding out his hand to Whit
taker said:
"'Is your name Whitaker
eyes was the reply.
"'Ain't you little Willie Whitaker,
of Balesville, Ark
"'Yes, again.
"'Well, don't you remember the time
you fell off afiatboat into the river about
twenty years ago, and how you'd a. got
drowned if / hadn't dived in and saved
youT
eyes Whitaker said, Il do, you old
fool What good did it do? I've been
playing poker for twenty years and never
won a cent. I've been kicked and cuffed
over fourteen states, and I'm ont Of a
job now. Goodby. And the really in
dignant Whitaker stumped off down
the steps, leaving his innocent bene-
factor aghast with surprise. st. Louis

Perseverance and push are Ear from
being the same thing, and quite as far
from being equally commendable. A
girl walked into large dry goods store,
and going up TO one of the firm asked if
he wished to employ any more girls in
his worKroom. The gentleman was busy
but he left his work and answered her
courteously in the negative.
The girl, who was showily dressed and
evidently impressed with her own ap-
pearapce, would not accept his answer.
II was told you wanted more help"
persisted the applicant somewhat def
antly.
1T was mistake, you see. / do not, I"
was the reply
But won't you need some one after
awhile:"
mo" was the answer, given very de-
cidedly and with courteous coolness.
The girl looked at the gentleman some
what doubtfully and walked cut. Turn
ing to friend the gentleman said:
THAT young woman saw that was
busy and pushed herself forward with
out word of excuse. She did not APP
preciate the courtesy ! showed her /
would not employ girl who had so
much push and so little modesty and
consideration for the rights of other peo-
pie. She would never succeed in my
store. Idoubt if she would succeed any
where. Youths Companion.

The great floating baths which from
their large number form so conspicuous
a feature of the Seine in Paris will be-
fore very long cease to exist. Under an
order of the prefect, dated some years
ago, they are gradually disappearing
No new ones are allowed 10 be built, and
the old ones must not have any substan-
tial repairs done to them, but must be
broken up when no longer, if the term
may be permitted, seaworthy.
The largest of all is called LA Samar-
itaine," and as this does not seriously
impede river traffic. and it is owned by a
number of small shareholders, whose in
terest in it is being gradually extin-
guished, the new rule about repairs is
less rigidly enforced than in some other
cases. La Samaritaine is, moreover, con-
sidered as in some sort public estab-
lishment, inasmuch as it grants tickets
at greatly reduced rates to children in
public schools and to the poor of Paris.

Disuse of the Hat

A London correspondent complains
that he cannot take his walks abroad
with his head uncovered without being
exposed to gibes and houts and sneers
and treated as lunatic. "And yet" he
asks, who but the halter would suffer
by the almost complete disuse of the hat?
The advantages would be many. We
should entirely avoid badness (which
our hats induce); our heads would be as
cool as onr faces (which we never think
of covering, though they are less pro-
tected with hair than our headsl; we
should save our money and great deal
of trouble. In this climate we need not
be afraid Of sunstrokes, and we should
avoidcolds in the head. 1t is mistake
to suppose that either chimney pot hats
or bowlers shade the eyes. They do not
do so any more than women's bonnets. y

The Origin of Profanity.

Swearing, it is presumed, came IN
with the original man, for as Adam was
an agriculturist it issnot presumed that
he was free from the trials aud troubles,
ve&ations and weaknesses Of other farm
ers. The old Greeks and Romans were
most proficient and picturesque swear
ers, and were accustomed to rattle up
their gods in the most finished style
when things weren't coming their way.
To speak colloquially. it was cold day
when the Olympian deities did not hear
their names taken in vain by the impa-
tient mortals who pursued their ordi-
nary duties or paved the way to classic
textbooks for future generations. This
reprehensible practice has prevailed in
the Latin countries TO the present day,
and the French woman says 'mon
Dieu,'' and the Italian or Spanish woman
swears by the sacred properties with as
little compunction as Octavia or Corne-
liza would have emphasized the name of
Jove or coupled the altar of Vesta with
an ordinary statement of fact.-New

The ingratitude of party is proverbdai.
One need go no further back in search
Of an example than the first Lord Iddes-
leigh; instructive stories have been told
of the ingratitude which was shown
toward him. The late Robert Lowe did
something for his party once Rpon
time. What did his party ever do for
him? But the examples which, on
moments reflection, occur to ones mind
are too numerous to mention. A man
may, and Frequently does, give all--time,
money, intellect, his whole'life--to' the
so called public service, TO be sheived at
last. And suppose m is not shelved;
suppose, that is, he dies in harness.

PRICE ONE CENT



The youth of high scholastic attain
ments who is always carrying off prizes
naturally raises hopes of his subsequent
success in particular career. OF course
the most is made OF him. He is not ONLY
a credit To himself, but TO his teachers:
TO the latter, indeed. he is a practical
certificate--a human document"-of
the first class. Finally he leaves school.
and it il confidently predicted that. If
he does not achieve greatness ian the bat
tie of life, il can only he ON account of
some moral flaw swhich has not vet had
time TO declare itself.
But the "dull boy" seldom receives
the benefit of the doubt in any specula-
tion as to his future. Once dubbed
"dunce" or reruted SLOW" and he is
allowed to develop in the shade, emerg-
ing from which he satisfies or surprises
his friends only because nothing was ex-
pected Of him. No one can dispute the
claim of Sir Isaac Newton to monu-
ment in Westminster abbey, nor 10 the
praise conferred by Pope's well known
epitaph:
Nature and natures laws lay hid in night.
God said, Let Newton be!'' and all was light.
Nevertheless the greatest of English
philosophers was a SO called ounce" at
school. Sir David Brewster tells us that
Newton made little progress "antil one
day the boy who was above him having
given him severe kick in the stomach,
from which he suffered great pain. he
labored necessarily till he got above
him in the school. and from that time
continued to rise until he was the head
boy. London Standard.
