girl friends who remained single
gradually loosened their tie of friend
ship and at last drifted into mere
calling acquaintance. One answered
that it was because the single girls
believed they were obtaining re-
venge for the merriage of their
friend. Another said it was because
the married couples find so much
happiness in each others society at
first as to show the single girls that
they are not necessary to fill any
void in their married lives. Still
another thought it was an absence of
a special aim in life on the part Of
the single girls and the almost entire
absorption of the minds efforts on
the part of the married girls which
gradually caused the divergence of
their paths. One young lady, how.
ever, who had doubtless suffered for
her impotence, said that she believed
it was because the wives were weak
enough to tell their husbands all the
little secrets that before the marriage
had made the bond of friendship
precious to both, and that the single
girls knowing this were afraid to
trust themselves in the husbands
company or to continue the conf
denee with the wife which they
feared would be violated as soon as
their hacks were turned.

THE KENTUCKY RIVER.
Some Interesting Figures on this
Important Artery of 3,
Commerce.

Though the great and ultimate OBJ
ject for which the United States
Government assumed charge of the
Kentucky river and engaged to inn
prove the navigation by a system of
locks and dams to the headwaters of
the river is far from accomplishment
yet. the large amount of freight
moved in one year by the boats which
pass through the locks, is sufficient
proof of the Importance Of this
water route to the commercial inter
ests of Kentucky, even should the
improved navigation to the vast coal
and iron fields remain a dream for
succeeding generations. Six locks are
already constructed and slack water
navigation extends from Carrollton,
at the mouth of the river, to the High
Bridge, distance of 122 miles. The
appropriation for Lock No. has
been made by Congress and the pre-
liminary work for its construction
next summer at point about ten
miles or more above High Bridge is
now under way. This will make a
navigable stage of water twenty five
miles or more above the lock, in
creasing the entire navigable dis
tance to nearly 100 miles. The locks
constructed are located at the fol-
lowing distances from the mouth of
the river: No. 1, four miles; No. 2,
thirty one miles; No. 3, forty-three
miles; No 4, sixty-six miles; No. 5,
eighty-three miles; and No. 6, whic
was opened last December, at ninety
nine miles. Reliable figures on the
number of lockages during the year,
to November LIST, last, show that
about 800 were made atlock No. 1;
1,aeo at No. 2; 1,O10 at No. 8; LILO at
No. A; 1,37o at No s, and 300 at No. 6.
OF the quantity of all kinds of
freight moved through the locks, the
figures show that about $4,000 tons
passed through No. 1, during the.
year; $500 through No. 2; 74,4OO
No. 3; $500 through No. A;
a 500 through No. b, and 10000
through No. 6. The period of the
heaviest movement extends from
December until July. The following
list of names and dimensions of the
crafts that have been plying the
river during the year:

not one such feature in his-country.
A man actually went over this Yer
mont leap along in the 4Os. He did
not mean to, and q com paaaion crept
to the edge and looked over, expect
ing to see him dashed to pieces be-
low. The man was crawling out of
the river. "Heiloin shouted his

Of the employees roomed on the fourth
floor. One Sunday night, while sew
eral of the boys were sitting around
the Gtove in the composing room
reading, one of the men who slept
on the top floor came up the steps,
carrying considerable amount of
stagger juice in his system. He
stumbled along until he reached
the head of the last fight of stairs,
when he lost his footing and came
tumbling back. Thump, thump,
thumpi his body struck the steps as
he shot down the steep stairway, and
finally brought up in little recess
at the head of the first fight of stairs,
against the press-room door, all
doubled up like a jackknife. Every
one in the composing room rushed
down the steps to his assistance,
to find him dead or
manned for life. The first one to
reach him bent down and asked If
he was much hurt. In a sleepy voice
he replied: "Well-er-yes. ] believe

high prices, would pay off. 1t is no matter
of wonder that hundreds of thousands Of
farmers, from the East and from Europe,
fastened to avail themselves of so promis-
ing an opportunity. They did not stop to
reflect that the realization of their hopes de-
pended on a uniform succession Of good
crops and q uniformly remuneratye scale
Of prices. AS 1t happened crop failures
occurred, and prices OF cereals fell. In 1880.
Nebraska was able to get along by
borrowing the small sum Of 100000; but
in 1887 short crops were simultaneous with
low prices and the Nebraskans had TO Dor
row S47, 100000 to tide them over. it is
with that debt they are now struggling; it
does not seem to be growing any less.
On deep alluvial soil, which is worked in
large parcels. so that hand labor can be re-
placed by machinery, it appears possible
for a farmer to live If he can realize cent a
pound for his wheat on his farm. But il he
cannot get as much as that, it is nice
question whether the small farmer can
earn wages by tiIling his fields. The river
valley States run no risk of being deserted
by their people, as some agricultural areas
in Europe ana Asia have been deserted.
But it looks as though they could not
emerge from their present depression With
ont a cruel process of liquidation.

THE INTERNATIONAL SILVER CON
FERENCE.

A London dispatch confirms previous
rumors that the principal commercial nations
OF Europe will accept the invitation Of the
United States to take part in an inter-
national conference to discuss the silver
question. The agreement to meet In con-
ference does not Of course bind the several
governments to do more than to discuss the
propositions that may be submitted. But
if the views expressed by Sir William
Houldsworth, member Of Parliament for
Manchester. are generally entertained there
will be as earnest advocates of the free
coinage Of silver on that side as on this.
The Manchester member said that all
the Chambers of Commerce of Great
Britain concurred in urging the Gov
erDment to accept the American invi-
tation. The situation, he said, was be
coming worse and worse, and unless it was
Temedied disaster was inevitable. In view
of such a condition OF affairs it is possible
that the Government will give more cOnsid-
GRAFTON to Chambers of Commerce and less
to bankers than has been the habit of the
British Ministry. The money-lenders of
Great Britain have in the past dictated the
financial policy of the Government. 1t was
in the interest of the mOney-lenders that
silver was demonetiZed. When gold and
silver parted company In 1873 or there
ah0uts the use of silver as money would In
all probability have brought the two metals
together But at that time Germany and
the United States joined England in setting
up the single gold standard. An inevitable
consequence Of setting up the single gold
standard was q large decrease in the volume
of money in the world and the consequent
increase Of the purchasing power OF the
remaining portion. In the United States
the silver question resolves itself into
question OF method: How can silver be re
stored TO its original status as money with
the least jar to business? The single fact in
the case is a difference Of almost 80 per cent
in the commercial value of the two metals
on the legal ratio. How is this difference to
be bridged? The fTee-eoinage men say by
giving silver the same rights at the mint
gold has. Other equally good friends of
silver think that the equality Of the two
metals in commercial value can best be
restored by purchasing and storing the sur
plus that the decentralization Of silver has
created. In the proposed international con-
ference will be men of various views, and it
is TO be hoped that the best method will be
adopted Whatever policy may be recon-
mended will have the aid of a combination
Of forces which will go far to insure it
success.
