Wood Mfce.

There are many kinds of mice, and though
some people are afraid of them they are all
perfectly harmless. Some of them gnaw
holes in our cupboards and carry of bits Of
food, but there is not mouse in the world
who is not more afraid of us than we can
possibly be of him.
The greatest enemies Of the wood mouse
are the snakes and the owls. To escape the
former, mother mouse builds her warm
nest on a shrub or tree, but she finds it hard
work to hide it from the sharp eyed owl
If the baby mice escape this silent thief Of
the night, they are very lucky.

A QUESTION NOT ANSWERED.

Ed. NEws.DEMooRAT:- you give
your eaders Gov. McKinley's views on
the silver question. 1 have read some Of
hi. recent speeches, especially the one 10
Ms farmers on Lake Erie, OF the recent
I rmers' picnic and can't see ss he takes
v th the Administration. Can you throw
liah, or knowledge on tnis much
v, xed question!
FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ANSWER ANB COMMENTS.
We have not any intimation that our
great Napoleon of finance has changed
his views lately on the silver question.
Great men, who study political economy
as science, and who take stand and
proclaim 1t, seldom change. Hence we
infer that our able and accomplished
Governor holds the same views that he
did In 1890, when he advocated and
voted for the celebrated Sherman silver
law. In carefully prepared speech,
delivered at Grand Rapids, Mich, be-
fore very large and intelligent audi
ence, In the September Of 1890, Major
Mckinley said:
I'VE have passed the Silver bill-the
best silver bill that was ever put upon our
statute books. What does IL do2 II utilizes
silver product of the United States. The
government buys 4,600000 ounces every
thirty days, and issues lite treasury notes
for that sum, and makes them redeemAb q
In gold or silver, and makes them receiv
able for debt, public and private, abso-
lutely legal tender that puts In circula-
ton q little more than two millions every
thirty days, and in addition TO what is put
la circulation under the old law, the two
millions OF coinage q month. Then we
have made this silver as good as gold, and
silver today 10 nearer on an equality with
gold than II has been for eighteen years
and why shouldn't they be side by side in
the business of this great countryP
Grover Cleveland's administration dis
counted silver from the moment OF its
inauguration to the conclusion OF his term
aye, he commenced discountinR II before
he was inauRurated, and wrote a letter to
several representatives In Congress, de.
mandipg suspension OF the coinage OF
two millions Of money, and said II II was
NOT done IL would produce financial dis.
anter. II was not done and we had nc
financial disaster.
We said In our platform of 1888 that gold
and silver must be used as money. We
made that pledge good, for gold and silver
are together, aide by side, self.reiaut
each distinct In Individuality, but like
unto each other AZ they who love.n
It Is barely possible that McKinley
has Topped, since the most of his party
leaders have Topped on the silver ques.
tion, but as we desire to do him no in
justice we will infer that the party
organs of this section who are nov
wildly clamoring for the repeal of the
great measure that Mckinley endorsed
so ably and eloquently, are lunatjcs

pies of finance, as expounded by ouI

A GOOD THROW.

To play, you throw a rubber or worsted
ball at each hoop in turn. If it goes through
the hoop without ringing the bell, 1t counts
by fves, according to the size OF the hoop,
the largest 8, the smallest 80. But If the
ball goes through and rings the bell you
add 10 to the count. If it rings the bell and
falls back without going through the hoop,
count only 10. The game is 500
Each player throws at all the hoops every
time it Is his turn.
This is good play any time, anywhere
and it is the very best rainy day game that
know of, In barn, OF an attic, or the play
room, says writer in the Atlanta Consti-
tuition, in which a picture shows a small
boy in the act of making a good throw. He
has just rung the bell.

Emperor William, in urging the pass
age Of his army bill, presents it as Of the
highest moment, in order that Germony
shall make itself STRONG enough to re-
main the surety for Europe's peace"
It's feature of European politics
that every other nation of Europe is in
this same business OF assuring the peace
OF Europe with as heavy military es-
adjustment as its resources will allow.
1t is a great game, this preserving
the peace OF Europe with powerful mill
itagy establishments which withdraw
from productive industry millions OF
men and lay the heavy burden Of their
support on toilers who have q hard
task to gain their daily bread. II the
end OF great war establishments be
peace, couldn't the end be reached as
easily by every European nation dis
arming?
Without military establishments on
grand scale there is none OF that glory
which delights monarch's heart and
provides for large numbers OF favored
ones the rich sinecures without which
they would have to get down to work.

The trouble between General sickles
and the Gettysburg photographer does
not seem much of an affair. General
sickles ordered the man of the snap!
shot off the ground, which belongs to
the state Of New York and which the
general controls as commissioner.
So far as the ground was concerned
the photographer had no rights with
regard to it. As to photOgraphing
General sickles against tho old SOL
diers will, man has a property right
in his face aud he can't be snap-shotted
out oft.
The Gettysburg folk have struck a
rich lead in that great battlefield and
seem determined to work it without re-
gard to the rights of others, public SEN
timent or common decency. The best
thing that can happen is for the United
States to take charge. Gettysburg is
not bigger than the United States.
