REVOLUTIONS.

The Democratic party of Lyon
county, in Convention assembled at
Silver City declares as follows:
l. That we are Democrats and as
sert Gus fealty to the principles and
precepts or the Demodratic party, az
promulgated and practiced in states
1nanship by its illustreous founders;
but that we abiure, repudiate and
denounce the National Democratic
party of today, welded as it is to
man-worship, spokesman and the
of wall and Lombard Streets; there
by proving recreant to its principal,
and seeking to further enslave and
empoverish the toiling masses of the
nation.
2. That we endorse the Platform
and Resolutions of the Democratic
Party i'll State Convention assembl-
ed at Winnemucca, Nevada, on May
10Th, 1892, as being in accord with
with Democratic principles, and the
vital living interests of our state;
and imbued with the spirit of that
body, we hold all free coinage men
and parties, as friends; and most
earnestly ask their aid, cooperation
and support in our efforts on behalf
OF free coinage.
3. That we denounce the demone-
tiZation of 1873, pcrpetrated by the
British and Dutch gold, and the per-
hdy of John Sherman, as the great
est political crime of century, and
a direct blow to the masses of the
American people, in the interests of
the gold-bug conspiracy; there by
preventing the increase of money
proportionate to the increase of pop
ulation,and raising under the gold
standard the purchasing power of
gold, rates of exchange and interest,
and causing the products of the mine,
the mill and the farm in proportion
ate ratio shrinkage in value of all
property; the products of the mine
the mill and the farm, clear loss to
the bone and sinew of the nation,
and a gain to the favored class-the
gold bugs.
4. That we denounce the proposed
International Monetary Conference
as an arrant humbug, evasion and
subtertuge, gotten up to blind and
deceive the people, as to the true IS
sues in the present free coinage agi-
tation, until the shylocks can more
hrmly rivet the chains of bondage
upon us, and strengthen their mono
metallic money despotism. We as
sert as facts and matters of record,
that all former conferences of this
nature, have failed through concert
ed action for the European powers
who are creditor nations, while we
are a debtor nation, and it is adverse
to their interests to have our circu-
lating medium increased. And we
further deny as Americans, the JUS
tice and wisdom of having foreign
powers regulate our finances or de-
clare for us the ratio of the coinage
OF our gold and silver; that, inasmuch
as this government prior, and up to
1873, regulated the ratio and coinage
OF 1ts circulating medium, so now
can this government, given the need
tul Legislation successfully and safe
ly resume the free and unlimited
coinage of the silver dollar, at the
ratio of l6 to L.
5. We denounce the robbery of
the government, since the demon
etization of silver and its degrad-
alton to the level of a commodity, in

Some Very Old Recommendations.

"Laylock," the pronunciation of lilac
once very common, has now almost en-
tirely passed away. 1t is hardly likely to
be found in dictionaries or glossaIies, ex-
cept such as profess to give provincial vari-
ations Of spelling. Sixty years ago, how
ever, it was by no means provincialism
or mark OF the uneducated. l well re-
member that Walter Savage Landor al
ways spoke OF "laylocks," as did my own
mother and most people of that generation
1t belonged to the age, now almost entirely
passed away, which called Rome Room, "

with other variations of sound now deemed
vulgar. ] have heard my father say that
George " always spoke of My loyal citv
Of Lunnon," while ''obleeged" and 'cow

mouths.

Sunday in Advent, 1925, hearing the Of
floating clergyman at St. Mary Woolnoth

lesson, like lodge in a garden of cow

Charles Hare, twenty years later, adopted

Nothing Is CheaD.

There is nothing cheap under the sun
Good wooden is good wooden and has its
current rate, and good cotton is good cot
ton, and good food is good food, and good
tables and chairs are good tables and
chairs, and in these days of competitive
labor and trusts and tariffs known tn all,
prices vary hardly hairs wortl nd moth
ing but secondhand goods can re bought
at bargain. A piece of silver, with an
initial marked upon it, table which has
had one dinner served on it's surface is
old stuff" and has almost no market
value. 1t must be nearly wen away.
Everything else fetches its va fictitious
or otherwise, the value at VIII it is held
by buyer and seller
And if one thing is undersold to catch
business, another is oversold to Offset it,
and you must get up very early in the
morning indeed aud be a very OLD, old
shopper to know which you are purchas-
ing. A great mark down sale is also a
great mark up sale unless indeed f re or
a bankruptcy has precipitated matters
And even then real bargains are rare

Eneland,s Enrly Coal Trade.

Though the records of the incipient coal
trade are scanty, they show that traffic
in coal first sprang up between London
and the Eewcastle-on-Tyne coal fields. A
lane in a suburb of the metropolis, where
the burning of lime appears to have been
carried on, was already known as Sea
Goals Lane" in 1923. A particular notice
also occurs of the arrival of shiploads Of
sea coal in London in 1857, and small pur-
chases of it were made for forging iron at
Westminster palace in 125S-9. 1t was
usually sold by the quarter. At Billings
gate, in the time of Henry III, every two
quarters of sea coal paid a duty Of one
farthing.
Sea Goals were likewise bought at Ber-
wick n-Tweed in 1865, so that by the mid
die Of the Thirteenth century a small
trade in coal was evidently being carried
on along n large stretch of the eastern sea-
board. The growth of the trade is reflected
in the increasing revenue of Newcastle-on-
Tyne, which, from being e100 year in
1918, had risen to GOO in 1881 owing to the
coal trade of the port.
From smiths and lime burners the use of
coal extended to artisans who used fur
naces in their trades. In Nottingham, sit
mated on the confines Of a great coal field.
this movement appears to have commenced
very early. Queen Eleanor was unable to
stay there in 1857 on account of the smoke
of the sea Goals. -Contemporary Review.

Stedmnn on Whittier.

Taken for all in all, Whittier, ''our bare
and prophet best beloved" that purely
American minstrel, so virginia. and so i'm
passioncd, at once the man OF peace and
the poet militant, is the Sir Galahad of
American song. He has read the hearts Of
his own people, and chanted their emotions
and powerfully affected their COMMISSIONS
His lyrics of freedom and reform, in his
own justified language, were words
wrung from the nations heart, forged at
white heat" Longfellow's national poems,
with all their finish, cannot rival the nat
ural art of Whittier's; they lack the glow,
the earnestness, the intense characterize
ton OF such pieces as Randolph of Ro-
anoke, ''Icbabod" and 1.-The Lost Occa
sion"
The Quaker bard besides, no less than
Longfellow, is a poet of sympathy. HUI
man feeling, derived from real life and en-
vironment, is the charm of Snow Bound, -
even more than it's absolute transcript of
nature. Years enough have passed since
it was written for us to see within its
range it is not inferior to The Deserted
Village" THE Cotter's Saturday Night"

The whist Players.

They play whist the beaux in their pow
dered wigs and velvet coats, the ladies in
their brocade petticoats and fine stom-
achers. The west windows are open; a
fountain FLASHES in the garden; the flower
beds are bordered with box, and the scent
of the box comes in at the open windows
They play whist. A beau shakes back
the lace frill from his hand as he deals. A
red jewel CLEANS on his finger. The ladies'
brocades rustic; they frown softly at their
cards. An hourglass stands on a table in
laid with mother of pearl; the sand in the
hourglass flows silently; the pungent
smell of the box comes in at the open win
dows.
They play whist. A lady leads from her
long suit; beau takes the trick with d
king. His black eyes flash under his white
wig like eternal youth.
The fountain FLASHES in the garden; the
pungent smell of the box comes in at the
open windows: the sand in the hourglass
flows as silently as the lives of the players
They play whist. a beau leads an ace;
his partner trumps. y trick is lost, but
he looks at her and smiles. trick is lost
but love is mmortal-Mary L. wilkins

"Of course you have, but hope you were

-
For more than two centuries IL has been
q fundamental principle of the nonoon-
formist conscience that all Instrumental
music on Sundays is sinful, even when
used for religious purpose Bishop
Earle, in his portrait Of a rich "noncon-
formist" lady in 1923, says that "she suf-
fered not her daughters to learn on the
yirginhls, because Of their affinity with or
gaIis" The fathers OF nonconformity, in
their first admonition to parliament in
1870, gravely informed the lords and COM
mons that "organ players came from the
pope, as out of the Trojan horse's belly, for
the destruction of Gods kingdom" which
was their convenient synonym for Presby-
terrain nonconformity. That old serpent,
Pope Vitalian," said the nonconformist
ministers, brought up organs" and two
other monsters, Popes Gregory and Celia
sins, inspired by the devil" were the au-
thors OF "Plainsong and Pricksong."
When the nonconformist conscience,
some seventy years later, had parliament
completely at its own disposal and eager
to satisfy all its demands commissioners
were sent all over England to destroy the
organs as denominations" in the sight of
the Lord. Evelyn said, in 1854, that they
were then almost universally demol-
ished." Any one who wishes to know
something in detail Of the nonconformist
campaign against music on Sundays should
read the entries in the Journal of Will
Dowsing,' the parliamentary visitor"
who laid waste the Suffolk churches in
1913 and 1914. Dowsing had warrant from
the Earl of Manchester for demolishing
pictures, painted glass, superstitious i'm
ages and Organs.-London Saturday Re

A sick dog took up his abode in the field
behind our house, and after seeing the poor
thing lying there for some time took it
food and milk and water. The next day
it was still there, and when I was going
out to feed it / saw that small pug was
running about it, SO / took a whip out
with me to drive it away. The pug pl anted
itself between me and the sick dos; and
barked at me savagely, but at last l drove
it away, and again gave food and milk
and water to my protege.
The little pug watched me for few mo-
ments, and as soon as he felt quite as sured
that my intentions toward the sicl dog
were friendly it ran to me wagging its
tail, leaped up to my shoulder and licked
my face and hands, nor would it Couch
the water till the invalid had had all it
wanted. I suppose that it was satisfied
that its companion was in good hands, for
it trotted happily away, and did not APP
pear upon the scene again.-Cor London

stormy Weather for riiiousness.

G. S. Whitslar, general agent of the
Graham & Morton line, tells of class of
lake travellers which lie frequently en-
counters.
There are people," he said who come
to the office and ask if ! think there is
going to be a storm. If | tell them such
are the indications they buy tickets. Now,
most people want to avoid the lake when
it is rough. L have asked these people why
they always wanted to travel i'll rough
weather and they have told me that it
agreed with them. That il, they believe
that night on the lake, on n rough sea,
relieves them OF biliousness. They watch
the wind, and as surely rs it is a Worcester
they buy tickets. That is their medicine.
1t would astonish you TO know the number
of such people in Chicago. | used to think
il was u kind OF fad with them but they
come so often that | have concluded that
they believe in it. "-Chicago Tribune.

The Redwood Tree.

On the camping grounds OF the Bohe-
milan club on Austin creek, and in the
Armstrong tract near Guerncville, one finds
the lowland redwood in perfection. In
such places there are often rings of great
trees inclos.ng rdts five or six feet deep,
and thirty, forty, or even fifty feet in di-
ameter. Each OF these pits IS supposed to
show where the venerable ancestor of the
surrounding circle OF trees once stood.
Long before it fell, innumerable sprouts
grew from the yet living roots. After
ward, when the giant yielded, the rains
washed new soil into the bottoms" from
the mountain sides to fill the deep chasm.
For century or so there was a struggle
among the children OF the fallen monarch,
and at last only seven or eight remained
to become great trees OF twelve feet in di-
ameter set on the rim Of the pit formed by
the decay of the roots of the ancient tree,
and each having a complete root system of
its own.
Other trees, seedlings or sprouts, grow
up between Ihem, and in few more CEN
turtles the process of forming another red
wood tree ring will be repeated about the
largest of the second growth. Rings of
this sort can be found in all stages of for
nation in every canyon and valley of the
redwood country. Some very large rings
still show the broken edges of the central
trees roots projecting like the slaves of a
barrel around the hollow, overgrown with
ferns and wild oxalis, or filed to the brim
with fresh, spicy redwood sprouts. The
green spires of the living forest, 200 feet
high, filter the air through their innumer-
able branches and shut out all but faint
blue sparkles of the sky. The dust of one
OF the pioneers is under foot, and little
tree of last years growth is struggling to
gain place.
The red bronze trunks of the trees stand
like a wall, hiding the rise Of the noun
tains, hiding the banks Of the river, though
one hears the sound Of its flow and the
splash of little trout streams in the can
yons. Such groves as this are the temples
of the California forest system. -Charles
II. Shinn in Century.
