Whitelaw Reid deserves praise. From a

SO FAR as putting one party or the
other party In hole the honors are
about even with the Bland free coinage
BILL The Republicans have had a silver
plank In three consecutive Presidential
platforms; they have passed several
silver bills, notably, the bill TO purchase
4, OO0, 900 ounces Of silver per month 20

the exception Of representative Bland
who Is Democrat, they have the strong
est advocates Of free silver coinage In
their party to-day. II II will put the
Democratic party 'fn a hole" with the
East, TO pass the free coinage bill, It will
drag them out of hole In the West II
the Republicans, ON the contrary, gain
any favor in the East by opposing silver
coinage legislation they will lose
more than its equivalent In the West
Meantime, the Democrats seem to have
the best tactical position because they
are favoring bill, which may not pass
ths Republican Senate, and which GER
tainly will not obtain the signature Of
the little man In the White House. They
obtain credit with the West and do not
lose credit with che East. IL Is we'll
known that many Democrats would
vote other wise II this vote were decls-
i've one. But II they are able
TO appease the Western oranks and hum
bugs why not vote for the free coinage Of
silver, now, when It is practically impossi
bic for the bill to become a law2 Should
there be any humbug in this devotion Of
the politicians OF the West to silver IL
could not be worse humbug than any
one Of he many humbugs by which the
Republican party has carried the senti-
ment against the sense Of the North
What is greater humbug than recon
struction, than the civil rights bill than
bloody shirtism, than protection TO
American labor, than American wages

GAS STOVES

Are invaluable and should be investigated
by careful housekeepers
About ], 200 are in use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased If
their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers" they are unrivRlled and
are far superior to coal or wood stoves in
cooking meats or vegetables
AS Water Heaters" aud 'lroners" they
are most useful, especially when the
weather Is too warm 70 use the ordinary
stove OF range
As a beating apparatus that can be moved
from room to lom in few minutes by the
housekeeper they are most convenient.
As assistant heaters In rooms where
furnace or steam heat will not ascend on
the windward side they have given great
satisfaction.
AS permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating hues they
have given much comfort.
AS intermittent heaters. where heat is
wanted only an hour OF two at a time,
they are economical.
For offices and stores, when the weather
is rather warm for furnace fires, they may
prevent sickness.
For spring aud autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive trou-
blesome and expensive, they are comfort
able and economical
AS fires that can be started in minute
and extinguished in less time, they are
most satisfse ory.
As heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL
GAS and DUST. they are valued by pru-
dent housekeepers.
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
but are ornamental

himself to any question Of public Inter

planning and enforcing the Reed rules in
the Fifty-frst Congress and the numer-
GUS magazine articles he has written he Is
not satisfied He wants the approval

proval are pitiable he has never risen in

like blubbering boy who has stolen all
the mince pies from the pantry and Is
not only sick at the stomach but
afraid Of the spanking he will get when
his mother finds time to give him those
deli ,ate but necessary attentions which
every BOBBY needs. The following
