Democrats from the West have come to
Congress directly from their constituents
and declare that unless the new House does
something for silver it will be impossible
for them TO carry their districts this year or
realize the hope that number of Western
States will come into the Democratic fold at
the Presidential election. Democrats from
New York and New England, with equal
the party at Washington for free and nm
limited coinage would mako difficult. if
not impossible the task of carrying New
York and would certainly take Massachu-
sets and Connecticut out OF the list Of
doubtful States and make them certainly
Republican.

A LEGEND OF HEROiSM,
Tne Tengeur Went Down But Would Not
Surrender.

the Tengeur Went Down But Would Not
Surrender.
Legends based upon alleged acts of
heroism die hard and although it has
been proved repeatedly that the soul
stirring story of the Vengeur is little
more than q mere sailors yarn, it is still
as deeply rooted as ever in the French
mind, says Paris correspondent. As
the story goes it tells us that dur
ing the memorable victory OF Lord
Howe over the French fleet off Ushant,
in 1894, the frigate Vengeur, rather
than surrender to the English, went
down with the colors nailed to the mast
and the crew singing the "Marseillaise"
and crying Viva la Liberte!'' Whether
we believe this legend or no, we owe its
author debt of gratitude. for that it
has inspired the wellknown artist, M
Pollpot, with the subject of the most
attractive panorama ever shown in
Paris. 1t is exhibited in the large build
ing of the Champs Elysees, which for
merly sheltered the panoramas of the
Siege of Paris and the Battle of Sol
ferino. The painter has chosen the
moment when, at the close of hard
days fighting, the French fleet, over
powered by Lord Howe's squadron, is
doing its best to escape in the direction
of Brest and when the sailors of the
Vengeur are just going to their heroic
death.
The frigate has settled down so far
that only the guns on her main deck
are available, and with these the art:l-
lerymen are firing a last feeble broad
side at stately British vessel of the
line, from the decks of which shot and
shell are being poured into the sinking
ship. The ragged, wounded sailors of
the Vengeur are in the act of mailing
the tri-color flag to the stump of the
mainmast, while an officer on the GUAR
terdeck, raising his hat on the end of
his sword, hurls defiance at group of
English marines on board his ma ajesty's
ship Brunswick. All round are the
fleets of both nations. the vessels keep
ing up a running fight as they speed
through the choppy sea. Many Of the
British men-ofwar have already
launched boats to pick up the survivors
of the Vengeur, scores of whom have
been washed off her decks and are cling
ing to floating spars M. Philpot is to
be congratulated on the admirable
picture he has given us of this stirring
scene--N. Y. Recorder.

DISPATCHES from Chill state that the
influenza or grip epidemic is increasing
there and that it has fatally attacked
some persons of prominence. It may
seem little strange at first glance that
the grip is raging in July, but when it
is remembered that July weather in
Chill is about the same as January
weather with us it ceases to be strange.
Chill is likely to have the epidemic for
the next three months, but about the
time we are experiencing it again she
will te rid of it.
