ALWAYS A REPUBLICAN,.

1t is most gratifying to notice that the
anniversary of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln was never so generally, so ap-
propriately and so enthusiastically OBJ
served as it was on last Friday. A few
years ago it was rarely recalled by q
public gathering, unless some organiza-
tions of negroes, who. appreciating the
work the great emancipation did
for them, held small meetings in Eastern
cities. On Friday there were meetings
of some kind in nearly every State.
They were chiefly meetings called by
some political organization. but Abra-
ham Lincoln, the man, the statesman,
and, above all, the typical Amer
lean patriot, was the subject of
nearly all the addresses and the
inspiration af the enthusissnA

speech Before the Butter Club.
General Butler took up the silver ques-
tion. LII. his characteristic outspoken man.
ner he ridiculed the bill which provided
for the payment of 81 for IS cents worth
of silver. He explained at length hts
views as to the value of money, whether
gold. silver or paper currency. His theory
was that the only value of q dollar was the
stamp of the United States. which fixed it's
standard. and as long as gold and silver
bad q commercial valne aside from the
monetary standard. he would have all
money made out of paper. The cheaper
the better. The United States treas
ury stamp would give such cur-
rency standard value of money.
IL destroyed there would be no material
loss He was against the free coinage of
silver because &c was using MP so much
valuable material TO no good purpose. He
thought it was inconsistent TO dig the sill
yer out of one hole where il WAS cafe and
put IL in another where it was not safe. On
one point only be favored free coinage-ot
only that bullion dug ont of the American
mines by American miners. He was op-
posed to the coinage OF all the silver which
savages and barbariaus had dug IN oil parts
of the earth.

In the coinage OF gold the government
adds nothing to its intrinsic value. The
ailver bullionists ask that by the free
coinage of silver it should add from %
60 30 per cent. to the intrinsic value of
that metal. An American gold dollar is
worth dollar by weight the world over,
while an American silver dollar is worth
rs much less ms the market price of
silver happens to make 1t.

HERE is one of the gems from the ma
jority report of the committee on coinage,
favorsng free silver coinage:
Again. it is eaid we give the silver miner
ct our mints 81 for bullion that costs only
Al cents. without hesitating q moment TO
reflect that the gold miner, as is often done,
extracts five ounces day In gold that We
coin into 500. when his days wages Is
worth only So or 81. thus coming his prod
uct that costs but 81 into money of SlO0.
This is offered as an argument to
prove that the intrinsic value of gold
should properly be estimated by the
amount which some lucky miner takes
out in day, calling his wages So or $4.
1t does not seem to have occurred to the
committee that the lucky miner gets the
value of his gold according to the
worlds standard, and that the govern
ment stamp does not add an iota to that
value.

THE MISSOURI BUILDING,

new state buildings, So many new churches
and fine residences are in course of con-
struction-above all the Worlds fair
structures at Chicago-that Americans are
at present enjoying a sort of renaissance
of their own
The happy freedom of selection and COM
bination of styles is shown in the buildings
so far contracted for at Chicago, the state
buildings of Ohio and Missouri being
among the last. The Missouri building is
to be of the Spanish renaissance style, and
stand in full view of and directly opposite
the main art gallery. The first floor will
contain the rooms devoted to advertising
the esOurce of the state, and will also
contain the administration parlors and
Offices. The main entrance, opening into
this section, is a triple one, and will be
beautifully finished in sandstone. terra
Gotta and marble.
1t will open direct into a grand vestibule
"a feet wide, laid in mosaic style and
1anked either side with inches for tele-
graph, telephone and local postof1ice.
Through this one will pass to the main
rotunda, which is 30 by 40 feet, and thence
direct access is had to all the rooms on the
first floor and two grand stairways lead to
the second floor. The main feature of this
last is the auditorium, which will be 10 by
50 feet. At the ends will be reception
rooms for ladies and gentlemen respec-
lively, and by large folding doors both of
these may be made practically part of the
main auditorium.

A White Cement Needed,

A much felt desideratum at present is 1,
strong white cement, with which to make
artificial stone that shall be of more pleas
ing color than those made with dark gray
Portland cement, or the still darker brown
Rosendale cement. The native carbonate
of magnesia or magnesite, if originally OF
a light color, can be calcined at a low heat
into a white cement. which is stronger than
the best Portland, but the expense is con-
siderable. Quite recently successful ut
tempts have been made in Germany to
make an artificial white cement, of the
same character as the Portland, by grind
ing together three parts of chalk and one
of kaolin, burning ut Il red heat and grind
ing again.
The cement made by this process hith,
erto has shown a tensile strength only
about one-half as great as that of good
Portland cement, out it has the hydraulic
quality and other characteristics of the
latter, n what is now wanted is that the
manufacture be SO improved as to increase
the tensile strength to the point required
for making artificial stone. 1t is thought
that if a white cement ran be found for a
matriX it will be easy to obtain aggregates
of light color by utilizing white sand, mar
BILE dust, white tale and so on, suitable for
making Il concrete adapted to take the
place of marb)e.-American Architect.

a St;lJe Occasion in India.

In India when a native chief goes out
he is accompanied by a sowari-literally a
riding" of ministers, servants, guards
and attendants of all sorts. Formerly all
rode, but with good roads good carriages
nave been introduced, and usually in these
days only the horsemen of the guard ride.
But on state occasions, led horses, richly
caparisoned, always form part of the show,
and there are many animals in princely
stables kept solely for professional pur-
poses.
The animals most liked are the stations
of Marwar or Kathiawar. White horses
with pink points, piebalds and leopard
spotted beasts are much admired, especial
ly when they have pink Roman noses and
light colored eyes, with an uncanny ex-
preston. Their crippled, highly arched
necks, CURLY hooks, rocking gait and para
lytic prancing often proclaim them as tri-
umphs of training.-John L. Kipling in
Popular Science Monthly.

THE MASSACHUSETTS BUILDING.

A pleasing novelty is a portable stage for
this auditorium, on which at regular times
stereopticon views of scenes in Missouri
will be presented. The building is also to
be constructed entirely of Missouri mate
rial, and prominence given to the finest
stone and wood so far as the style and
proper finish of the structure will allow.
Add the ~stereopticon views and general ex-
hibits and it will be seen tina one may gain
a good idea of the state by a day in this
building. Messrs. Gum & Curtis, of Kan
sas City, are the architects, who have ar
ranged for an exterior finish, showing the
heraldic emblems of the state in metals of
native production. Woods of every kind
grown in the state have been offered in
abundance and without cost.
The Massachusetts building will possess
a peculiar interest, as it will be an exact
facsimile of the old Colonial mansion that
was long the home of John Hancock. In
Guiding materials contributed by patriotic
citizens it's cost will be SOS, 900, and it will
occupy the space directly east of New
York on the main east and west avenue
between the lake and Fifty-seventh street.
Besides the offices, parlors, ETC., there will
be one room full of historic relics, to which
the Essex institute, of Salem, will contrib
ute its valuable collection. The entire
finishing of the building will be in the old
Colonial style.
Ohio will also have a thoroughly char
acteristic building. Indeed, the chief charm
of this class of structures will be that each
will present the state in miniature, so to
speak-a sort of architectural panorama.
Ohio's building will be 100xsO in size and
