CONGRESSMAN WILLIAMS of Massa-
chusetts says he voted for Mr.. Mills for
speaker because Mr.. Mills had said that
free coinage was not a Democratic is
sue, but, on the contrary, in
1888 the Democracy defended the ad-
ministration of its president, who was
attacked by the Republicans for his
efforts to demonetize silver. Massa-
chusetts is furnishing plenty of testi-
mony to show why Mr.. Mills financial
views are acceptable to Massachusetts,.

THERE is nothing new in the plat
form of the Peoples party organized at
St. Louis. Much of it is an iteration
of time-honored Democratic tenets,
and the balance is aslnixture of green
backism, union laborism, Ocalaism,
etc. The distinctive and material
features OF the instrument are demands
for per capita circulation of $50, and
that the railroads, telegraphs and tele-
phones should be owned by the govern
ment. The first idea is borrowed. The
last is the only issue upon which to
base the hope of a successful new party
ia this country. 1t is unlikely that
either Of the. old parties viii ever be
willing to advocate a step so radical
and SO contrary to the prevailing con-
captions of the business of government

The attitude CT tbs GAZETTE toward the
next nomination Ey tee democratic party fol
tee Presidency ssema to be that no man
should receive il who cannot SECURE the vote
OF t1s State CT New .Yoik, and that OF the
iaw premiaentiy mentioned for the honor
| David 3 Hill is the man most likely to do
| that, auG therefore eaou;d be nominated at
Chicago,
Wsi7lng now such radical differences from
your Yisw ss the conviction on t3e part OF
many iopai democrats besides your CORES
pondsnt that the vote OF New York, how
eyer desirable, wou!d not be essential in No
vsmber to elect suitable man on sound
platform, that Hill could net carry New
York If nominated, and that he is an utterly
unfit person for the office, sven If he could
be elected President, prcceed to the main
question, which is the ground for believing
ihst the favorite CT Tsmmany Hail cannot
| fail to secure the vote of New York State.
tbs best resson for not believing this Is
the facs that from 1878 the man whom the
iulueDcs of Tammsny was seainst has al
ways carried New York, and the man whom
il favored has always lost the state. l now
give facts, net opinions. At St. Louis In
1876 the bitterest opposition was made b9
Tammany to the nomination of Tllden.
TIE boss OF that day, John Kelly, with State
delegation nearly solid behicd him, vert In
special train WITH $50 followers to fight 1t
on the gvcuud, as Get fo!tl In his circular.
"thet Mr Tiiden cannot carry bis own State
or the country" Well, Mr.. Tilden did both

Ia 1880 st Cincinnati Tammany was equal

was withdrawn before balloting began, bat
WAS enthuelasic in support OF Hancock and

triumphant election. We'll, worthy ss that
gallant soldier YES of bstter fate. Garfield
carried New York over him By 81 900 and

Wonders of FIuorine Ges.

Silicon, crystalline substance closely resembling the diamond, exposed to fluorine gas, gives very beautiful reac. tion, showers of brilliant spangles being scattered in all directions from the white hot crystals, which are finally melted. As they do not fuse under 2,190 degs. Fahrenheit, one can gain some idea of the immense energy set free during the combination. Both lime and chalk under the same circumstances give a most gorgeous incandescence. Phosphorus, as one might expect, does not fail to illustrate its powerful affinity when exposed to the gas. Prussian blue reacts very beautifully and burns with pink flame. A crystal of iodine placed in a current of the gas gives pale flame, and heavy liquid distills over, which etches glass and misses like red hot iron when thrown into water.- Chambers Journal.

Outdoor Figs In Maine.

For about four years Mir. E. K. Whit ney, whose place is about mile from Harrison village, has successfully raised a crop of figs. The figs are when fully ripe as large as medium sized pears, and mellow and delicious, not to be told in appearance and flavor from the southern grown. and the trees bear abundantly--from six to eight on a branch. When MT. Whitney first began their culture he would in the fall, by advice of southern growers, bury the tree in position by cutting the roots each side and bending the tree into trench prepared for it. By experiment later he learned that the better method was to dig up the tree and transplant it to the cellar, It is quite hardy and will en- dure considerable cold, and is little af- fected by transpanting. In the spring it is easily set out again. The fruit ripens quite early in the fall A cutting from the tree takes root readily, and this offshoot comes in bearing during the second year. ar.-Lewiston Journal.

Indian Idols.

The images of the Gods in India are not made by separate caste, but the carpenters and masons respectively make the large wooden and stone idols set up in the temples, the pOtters the clay idols consumed in daily worship, and the braziers, coppersmiths and gold. smiths the little images in brass, copper, mixed metal and gold and silver that are always kept in private homes. The East Indians regard an alloy of brass with six other metals-gold, silver, iron, tin, lead, making with the copper, and zinc of the brass, mixture of light metals as a perfect alloy, and this is highly prized as material for sacred images, Philadelphia Ledger

ARIZONA ENTERPRISE.

Says the Denver Times; Journalis. tic enterprise in Arizona is worthy of note In the matter of special newspa. per editions the publishers of that ter ritory easily take the lead in the West. The latest exhibition of this fact is a special issue of the Arizona Republican at Phoenix, comprising sixty-four pages and all proiusely illustrated. It gives agraphic description of the resources, development, progress and attractions of the Salt River valley, of the improve ments in irrigation, of the wonderful
 productiveness of the soil, of the growth of Phoenix, Tucson, and of other agri.
 cultural, commercial and industrial in-
 terests. Portraits and biographical

ONE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

The New York Tribune devotes a sup plement issue to detailed account of Jay Gould and his business methods, and very interesting reading matter it IS. One point in the sketch is particu- larly worthy of note and that is the fact that whatever plan Jay Gould had un- der advisement was kept profound secret by him, until it's failure or &C., complishment.
 In other words, he never talked of the cat until it was well into the bag. This is the secret of two.thirds of business success-the power to keep ones own counsel until one has the undertaking well under way. It is invariably the rule that the man who brags of his great projects is the man who never accom- plishes anything. Jay Gould kept his own counsel, from the days when he trudged on foot with his surveying in- struments slung over his shoulder to the time when he held the stock mar kets by the throat in those awful days preceding Black Friday. He was known son the streets" as "the silent man. and even his closest business associates knew little more of him. With an iron will, and some say an interruptions conscience his very reticence made him power in whatever he undertook.
 The poor young man starting life with the world before him may learn this much from the great fnancier- how to be reticent. The man of many condolences is seldom the powerful man, no matter what he may elect to follow.

reunyson's Dislike of Anecdotes.

It is curious bit of the irony of fate that there should now be rife so many tales and anecdotes of Tennyson. No man ever disliked such things more than he. Seldom could he be induced 10 read or to listen to personal incidents of other great men. It was not that he felt no interest in them. But the deli cacy of his nature was representative, and he shrank from looking into the private lives of others, just as he had a horror of others looking into his own
 life. Yet half of the literature about

Could He Use a rIcke, for His Own Corpse

Could He Use a Ticket for His Own Corpse?
 Can live man travel on ticket call ing for first class passage for corpse? This novel question confronts the Santa te road, and the decision will be watched with interest by other lines. Some weeks ago Harry Knight, of Denver, was taken to St. Lukes hospital in this city. His case seemed hopeless, and his sister in Denver was so informed. She thereupon bought round trip ticket-Denver to Chicago-for herself. and a return" ticket for a body in a casket. She came here, and an operation was performed on her brother which proved successful. He rallied, and so far recovered that he was able to go home. As ticket had been bought and paid for he proposed to use it, although not, as had been ex- pected, as the occupant of a coffin. He tried to obtain passage upon the ticket, but difficulties met him at every point.
 The ticket read, Good for the passage of one human body contained in casket from Chicago to Denver. The "human body" referred to rendered the ticket, and the conductor did not know what to do about it. Ho finally decided to take the ticket and to leave the matter for settlement with the company afterward. Meantime MT. and Miss Knight are safe at home in Denver.-Chicago Letter.
