The Fable of the Horse Shoe.-Yor
know the German fable about the
horse shoe. In the olden times i'm 6
little village of Germany a blacksmith
was hard at work. The sound of the
anvil and the Iurid flames from the
furnace attracted the attention of the
devil. He saw that the smith was
making horseshoes and thought it
would be good idea to get his own
hoofs shod. So the devil struck bar
gain and put up his foot. The black
smith saw with whom he was deal
ing and nailed a red-hot shoe on, driv-
ing the nails square into the DEVILS
hoof. The devil then paid him and
left; but the honest blacksmith threw
the money in the fire. He knew it
would bring him bad luck. Mean
while the devil had walked some dis.
nee and began to suffer the greatest
torture from the shoes. The more he
danced and kicked and swore the
worse the things hurt him. Finally,
after he had gone through the most
excruciating agony, he tore them off
and threw them away. From that
time forward whenever he saw a
horseshoe he would run off, anxious
only to get out of the way. The Ger
man peasantry all believe this story
to day, and one can scarcely find a
doorstep or barn door that hasn't d
horseshoe nailed up.

Surely politics does make strange
bedfellows At the recent convention
of the Bimetallic league in Washington
there were populists, democrats and re-
pubiicans on the stage together making
speeches and denouncing the gold

the political Judasas playing into their
hands Yet some of these same orators
still train with the parties who are
mere agents of the Shylocks denounced.
What spectacle of craftsmanship and
consistency-men believing alike yet
voting apart, and voting together
whose principles are opposite. The

There appears to be considerable mis-
apprehension respecting the future at
titude of the peoples party and of the
reform press towards the silver ques-
ton. The report has gained currency
in some quarters that the conference
committees of the American Bimetallic
league and the Reform Press assocja-
ton at Concordia hall, in Washington,
few days ago agreed to unite upon
the single issue of free coinage in the
next campaign. This report is abso-
lutely without shadow of foundation.
The committee of the National Reform
Press association agreed to no such
thing, nor was it asked to do So Our
association will continue to favor free
coinage because it is right, but they
will also continue to push to the front
the other economic questions which
form the basis of the peoples party,
and these will probably be broadened
in future campaigns There need be
no alarm concerning the adoption of
the single issue of free silver as the fu-
ture platform of the party. We do not
understand that any attempt has been
or will be made in this direction. To

''There is not an outstanding bond cou-

act of February %, 1878, directing the

they shall be legal tender at their

wise expressly stipulated in the con-
tract
If this be true, and an attornev-gen-
eral of the United States says it is true,
why all the fuss and furry about main
