Gould Only Ise Persuaded.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 25.-Gov. Van Hoe
garden, OF the National Bank of BEL
GUM, will give a reception, December
z, in honor of the delegates to the inter-
national monetary congress. Leading
financicrs have been invited and the af-
fair will be very brilliant A great deal
of lobbying is going on among the DEL
egates, those of one view on the subject
of bimetallism trying to win over the
Others. The result seems to be in En-
glish hands.
A delegate who favors bimetallism
says that France, Belgium, Switzerland,
Austria, Russia, the United States and
India, all holding large stocks of silver,
would be only too pleased to join with
Great Britain in establishing n bimetal-
lie union. Germany would have no mo-
tive for remaining outside, Egypt and
tho English colonies would follow En-
glands lead and all tin South
American states, II only from con-
siderations of convenience, would range
themselves In line. II is no cxaggera-
ton to say that IL England would lead
the way n worldwide bimetallic union
could be formed with more ease than
the existing worldwide postal union.
Tho Germans seemed inclined 10 follow
tho lead Of Great Britain. They say
that Germany is not Immediately inter.
ested in the rehabilitation of silver, and
they argue that although owing to an
oversight her great currency reform
did not include n large stock oil
silver thalers, about 100, 600, 900 in
number. which, II put into circulation,
would still constitute legal tender, nc
practical difficulty has arisen from this
omission. The general growth OF the
| population and the normal demand fol-
u silver currency would, 1t is held, en-
able the government at any time grad
ually TO work off this old stock Of silvei
without affecting the monometalli,
basis upon which its currency liz nov
solidly established and upon which !
will 10 maintained. r.

ment to treat all improper, illegal and
excessive payments of pensions, whether

rent pension law, with u view to ad.
justing or cqualizing current pension
payments within the discretion Of the

err officer or soldier, militia or regular,
called into the services of the United
States, be wounded or disabled while in
actual service, he shall be taken care of
and provided for at public expense

gMEMoR1AL DAY ADDRESS.

At Stafford Springs. By Rev. A. J. Mcleod.
 GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND ARMY FELLOW CITIZENS: The occasion which has called us together to-day is of more than ordinary interest. We not only have the pleasure of meeting those who are dear to us, but reviewing the past, and looking we'll to those interests which secure nations glory and nations prosperity.
 l am happy to meet an assembly like this to-day convened on the broad ground of American citizenship. This day has become--like the day we celebrate as in- dependence day-a national holiday. It belongs to the American citizen; no other people has right to lay claim to it in the same manner. It should be regarded as such by every son and daughter. Other interests shall have their due. The whole year shall be theirs, but on this day we will consider our country and the great principles which lie at the bottom of our nations prosperity, which have made our country what it is, and through which alone we can hope to maintain what we are and have.
 This anniversary has been set apart for two especial objects: First, for the com memoration of individuals, and, secondly, for the commemoration of events. It commentaries period second to none in our nations history. It may be regarded as characteristic of this age and people, that many of it's most striking events and memories, especially of the revolution receive only a centennial notice, it's bat ties and it's triumphs pass unnoticed Yorktown and Saratoga, once so loud, are quiet now. Faneuil Hall and the Old South, which stand as monuments of Oul independence, some would blot out of ex. istence. But, thank heaven there ale oth CT noble hearts which seek their preserva tion.
 The quiet act of that congress whicf gave birth to our declaration of independ ence has often been proclaimed from the Bay of Funday to the Gulf of Mexico, ant from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, ant thence, rebounding, has been heard il joyful acclamations the world over And for what, I ask, was the revolu tionary struggle? It was for liberty When the colonists could no longer beal the yoke of oppression, and sounded thu l bugle of battle, all tue hearts, from th'

There will be, however, three observation tow CTS about 300 feet high for the accommo- dation of visitors who want to take a bird's-eye view of the grounds and build ings. These towers will be of elaborate design and beautiful in appearance, and will cost about $2OO, 900 each.

Visitors to the Columbian exposition will be able to go comfortably and expe- ditiously from one part of the grounds to another and obtain advantageous views of the buildings. They may do this either in electric boats through the lagoons, or by the intramural elevated electric rail- way. The contract for the latter has al- ready been awarded. There will be five miles of double track and stations at con- venient points. The route, as mapped out, runs from one end to the other of the grounds in sinuous course. The fare will be five, cents, and the capacity of the road about 10000 an hour.
 A WONDER WoRKER.-Mr. Frank Huff, man, a young man of Burlington, Ohio states that he had been under the care O1 two prominent physicians and used their treatment until he was unable to get around. They pronounced his case to be consumption and incurable. He was per- suaded to try Dr. Kings New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, and at that time was not able to walk across the street without resting. He found, be- fore he had used half of a dollar bottle that he was much better; he continued to use it, and is to-day enjoying good health. If you have any throat, lung or chest trouble try it. We guarantee satisfaction. Trial bottle free at B. K. Taft's drug store.

A small extract from recently publish ed statistics of the senior class at Yale college is not without interest just as the young men are about to leave college and take on full citizenship. Here it is, Of the class, 95 are republicans, % demo- crats, 20 independents, and one is pro- hibitionist. The protection sentiment is increasing at Yale. The following con- parative table shows the rate in the last four classes:
