THE Spokane Review very ably and
clearly presents the financial situation
TO its readers in the following editoria
comment
When an individual Is i'll, nothing i:
more perilous than an erroneous dag
ncsis; and this principle also applies Il
nations. Ii it were true that the United
States is suffering from silver, surely nj
one would be so reckless and stubborn
as to contend for a continuation of the
cause of the disease. But it is not true
The opponents OF bimetallism have
become so thoroughly impressed with
the idea that silver legislation is respon-
sible for every evil, from financial dis
turbance to blight in the crops. tina,
they have grown cranky on that subject.
They resemble the doctor with hobby.
who thinks that all diseases spring from
one source.
The truth is the United States is in
oculated with the infection OF financial
fear from without, and not from within.
We knew no troubles till we caught
them first from Argentine and then
from Australia.
Australia is gold country after the
oddities own heart. Since it was occu-
pied by the whites it has turned ont
sl,SO5,ooo, 200 in gold, and only sS5 600
90 in silver. Yet our financial trou bles
are mild in comparison with those OF
Australia.
II gold be panacea for monetary
alarm, where shall we seek the explana-
ton for the recent gigantic failures in
that country? 1t has been demonstrated
that the crash there was almost wholly
due to monetary alarm, and not 10 the
instability OF the wrecked institutions.
These institutions were either directed
or dominated by London influence. In
its endeavor to avert the disaster, Lon
don kept strs ngthening the gold reserves
OF the trembling Australian banks, and
TO secure this gold kept throwing her
securities back on the American mar
kets. Inevitably this caused a gold
drain from the United States. 1t il
one of the penalties that the debtor ma
ton must pay-a penalty we should
have to meet ii the United States had
never coined a silver dollar or bought
an ounce OF silver bullion.
England, likewise a gold standard
country, is suffering from financial de-
preston, timidity and alarm. Failures
there are frequent, large and alarming.
It's preposterons to say that these
Australian and English crashes are due
TO distrust OF American silver. Tnev
are due to the universal and growing
conviction that the worlds business has
gotten ahead OF the gold supply Of the
world; that there is a scramble for that
metal, and that sail must be taken in.
The United States has caught the infec-
tion fro'" its neighbors instead OF infect
ing the outside world as the monomet-
alists would have US think.

THE OPEN SWITCH.

Anybody who travels by cars knows what

terror of railroad men, and the dread Of the

Yeteven the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without celSing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.

DR.. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases OF the
heart ana nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common rs those of
the lungs, liver, stomach. bowels or kidneys,
though often unsupported. The reason peo-
pie are not aware OF this important fact is
because symptoms Of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed TO some other
source. Ii you have shortness OF breath,

At the Monday meeting OF Bap.
list ministers in a certain rari Of
New York city, Rev. DR.. Boyle had
lie courage to tell his brethren
that he did mt wish any females
who were arrayed in hoopsklrls.
He wanted to brig the brethren
at The Monday meetings, where
they had things all to themselves,
to take a stand with him on this
momentous subject. The women
were carefully excluded from this
meeting because they were not
cle,gymen, or, if we may coin a
new word, clergywOmen. The
question might be raised whether
DR.. Boyle has had an unfortunate
experience which led him to take
this attitude. 1t is not stated that
The rest Of the Baptist clergy join
ed with him in the attack upon
The hoopskiri, or that the move
NETT is extending among the cler-
~ of the metropolis, and, as il
takes more than one swallow to
make a summer, il will require
more than one Baptist minister to
take The lead in this movement il
il Is to succeed. Evidently DR..
Boyle does not know how to carry
on a soial reform. II he had frs,
consulted The women anil secured
their backing he would have a
better chance of success as a dress
reformer.

YHE WOOL OUTLOOK.

Justice, Bateman u Co, of Phil
adelphia, as follows: prices for
wool have fallen within the last
fortnight. Woods ot melinu blond,
such as fine a I'd fine medium, have
dropped from 60 cents per secured
pound tn 80 cents, and apparently
hove not yet touched bottom. A
gradual receding Of The market has
been expected, as The period Is APP
preached when Legislation a;
Washington will indicate the act
nal change to free wool; The sud
denness Of The drop, however, is a
surprise. Free wool in the remote
future has been regarded as newt

to adjust themselves tn that basis
so soon. The difficulties of run

however, been great enough To

Fighting Fire with a Snowfall.

On day in January, some years
ago, the people of a village in Can
ada were fighting fire. The west
wind blew hurricane; the tavern
and an adjoining dwelling-house had
already burned to the ground, and
the entire village was threatened.
The church stood in direct line with
the fire, but the wide village green
might save it.
Hundreds of anxious eyes were on
the watch lest some spark or live
cinder should fall upon it's exposed
roof and walls, which were kept
drenched with water. A blazing
cinder whirled high across the green,
and strong sucking current of air
carried it and held 1t against board
of the tall steeple; held it until the
ry,pitch-filled strip of wood ignited,
and "a brisk smoke was rising on the
steeple's south face.
A groan burst from the watching
crowd. No ladder could reach the
spot, and the loved church must
burn. A red tongue of flame shot
out from the blackened hole that the
live cinder had charred, then-whizz
went flying SNOWFALL up from the
crowd, single big moist SNOWFALL,
that snuffed out that blaze as one
snuffs out candle.
One Warren Bacon, with his good
left hand, had quickly shaped and
thrown the SNOWFALL, and the church
was saved. The building still stands,
and the pierced board, on the south
side of the steeple, still shows where
the blazing cinder and then the
flying SNOWFALL struck.
