BRYAN ON SILVER.

In the ST. Louis Republic of
May %, appears 5-column re-
view of the great issue from the
incisive pen of Congressman
Bryan of Nebraska. It goes into
the subject with a directness that
betrays an intelligent familiarity
with the subject, and as one in
touch with the real issues he
takes a bold stand for bimetal-
ism. We append a clip from the
closing paragraphs:
Unless I mistake the signs of
the times the west and the south,
always the home Of bimetallism,
will insist that their representa-
tives stand as a solid wall against
any legislation intended to lessen
the currency of the world and in
crease the purchasing power of
the dollar. We have already suf-
fered grievously because of the
F.! fall in prices. The last census
shows a decrease in the proper
ton of farm owners and an in
crease in the proportion of farm
tenants. 1t also shows a farm
mortgage debt which is truly al
arming. The continued apprecia-
ton of gold, that IS, the continu-
ed fall in prices, increases the
number of tenants and makes
harder every year the life of the
farmer. He who aids in increas-
ing landlordism in this country
hastens the overthrow of the re-
public, for free government will
not long survive when few own
the land and the means of sup
port, while the many are tenants
at will No one would dare to
propose a law. increasing the
number of dollars to be paid by a
debtor. To increase the size OF
a dollar by legislation has exactly
the same effect, and the great
producing masses of this country
will not hold him guiltless who
thus adds to their already heavy
! burdens.
That dollar will soon cease tic
be called 'honest" which grows
|
fatter every day. The vicarious
sufferings of those who, interested
in the appreciation of debts, weep
for the poor debtor while the
load is made heavier, will soon be
given the same weight that is
now given to the solicitude Of
those protected manufactures
who have for the past 80 years
SO freely shed their tears for the
poor laboring man. The pro-
tective policy was never as dis
astrious to the agricultural classes
as a gold standard would be, fol
while protection would lessen the
stream, gold mono-metalism viii
dry up the fountain of prosperity.
The friends of the gold and sill
yer coinage constitution" neec
not be discouraged. Strong il
the all-conquering might of right,
their principles will triumph anc
that triumph will be signalizec
by a return of prosperity to the
grent masses of our people.

THE gold bugs are overshoot-
ing the mark. They claim that
the present enormous shipments
of gold is due to a want of con
fidence, and fear that the govern
ment credit will not be main
tanned. From the same author
ity comes the demand for the
issue of bonds to sustain the
credit of the government, and the
assurance that the bonds will be
readily taken at the low rate of 2
per cent. The two statements
don't tally. If the government
credit is suffering she couldn't
make any such favorable dispo-
sition of her bonds. There is a
deceased African in the wood pile
somewhere.

AN ANCIENT HOWL,

Many years ago, in Judea, a
piously inclined calamity bowler
edited the following:
go to, now, ye rich men;
weep and howl for the miseries
that shall come upon you. Your
riches are corrupted and your gar
ments are moth-eaten. Your
gold and silver are cankered and
the rust of them be a witness
against you and shall eat your
flesh as it were fire You have
heaped treasures together for the
last days. Behold the hire of the
laborers who have reaped down
your fields, which is by you kept
back by fraud, crieth; and the
cries of them that have reaped
have entered into the ears of the
Lord of the Sabbath. You have
lived in pleasure in the earth and
been wanton. You have nour-
ished your hearts as in day of
slaughter. You have condemned
and killed the just He hath oP-
pressed the poor and needy, hath
spoiled by violence, hath not re-
stored the pledge. He hath Civ
en- forth upon usury and hath
taken increase. Shall he live?
He shall not live. He hath done
all these denominations. He shall
surely die. His blood shall be
upon him. :"

SECRETARY SMITH has

SECRETARY SMITH has just
made a very important pension
ruling, which repeats the rule
previously in existence as to the
construction which shall be put
upon the disability not of ser
vice origin clause of the pension
law of 1890 Under this ruling
no pension will be granted under
that clause unless the disability
is so great as to prevent the APP
plicant earning a living by man
ual labor. It is estimated that
this change will result in reduc-
ing the pension payments nearly
$40, 900, 900 a year.

AN Indian went to Sherman,
Tex, a short time ago to find a
soldier in the United States army
who had eloped with his wife
When the soldier saw the Indian
he ran away, but the redskin
overlook him and quoted his
fears. He gave the soldier $I4o
which belonged to his wife, and
which he desired the other to give
her. The noble red man said he
would not kill man for a woman
he could no longer respect.

A WASHINGTON correspondent
of this paper has this to say.

There are some ugly rumors floating around
Washington about a combination between bankers
and politicians to bring about such financial
stringency that congress will be compelled to re-
peal the Sherman silver law. So very ugly are
these rumors that your correspondent will not add
10 the unrest of the public by giving them in detail
Such things dangerous even to talk about;
they destroy the very corner stone of national pros
perity-public confidence

RICE BIRDS.
They Are Caught in Nets in South
Carolina Rice Fields.

They Are Caught in Nets in South
Carolina Rice Fields.
The rice birds are destroying the
rice in South Carolina and are as nu.
merous as the grasshoppers get TO be
in the grain fields of the West. The
Charleston News and Courier says that
reports fromGeorgetown are to the eff.
feet that the rice birds are more plen.
tiful than ever before known. They
have almost cesaed to be target fol
shotguns, and are so thick and close
together that they are caught with a
dip net like SO many fish. One gem
tIeman who did go out with his shot
gun killed $50 at single shot. The
regular way now, however, is to get a
boat and dip net and go among the
bitches in the old rice fields and dip
up the birds. A gentleman went out
a few nights ago and returned with
1926 birds. 1t required wagon and
two buckboards to carry them all
home. Quite considerable sum has
been realized by several parties who
embarked in the rice bird business.
They can be bought on the plantations
for mere song, and when taken to
the town are sold for at least 25 cents
a dozen.

Chris Evans, the Fresno outlaw, who
ought to be an authority on the subject,
declares that men are most subject ia
the emotion of fear between one
o'clock in the morning and day break.
AS he puts it, there comes q period in
every night when it begins to grow
toward morning, but when daylight is
yet long way off, during which per-
Rod every man is coward. He
shrinks from all sorts of imaginary
evils, and the same man who would
have fought desperately before mid
night will be very. likely to turn and
run in that darkest hour which is just
before the dawn.
1t this be SO there must be some
natural and physiological reason for
1T, and there are certainly some we'll
known facts which appear to bear out
the theory. Sick persons, as Chris
Evans has pointed out and as all who
have watched by the .bedsides of inva-
lids know, are apt to be worse in the
latter part of the night, and the be-
lief that death occurs then more FREE
quently than at any other time is GER
talnly general, whether II be supported
by statistics or not.
But we need not go to any mortua>
ry statistics for evidence on the ques-
ton of universal decentralization and
lack of physical and will power at, say
three o'clock in the morning, which
seems to be about the lowest time of
the ebb tide. Any one who has ever
got out of bed at that time, either from
choice or necessity, knows very we'll
the feeling of goneness which comes
over one and the serious doubt which
arises as to whether life is really worth
living. Is it that the system has really
run down during the night or that the
feeling of depression and demoraliza-
ton is merely subjective, caused by
the surroundings, and the unfamiliar
look which we'll known objects assume,

It is said that a large colony Of
working men left Sydney, Australia,
the other day, to seek their fortunes
in Paraguay. All the members of the
colony are said to be robust and ener-
getic men, and the married ones are
accompanied by their families. Their
object in the move is not SO much that
they are not able to make a living
where they are, but they see no chance
to make more than bare living.
They say that capitalists have taken so
entire possession of everything in Aus
tralia that there is not the remotest
possibility for anybody who has no
capital but his hands and brains, to get
beyond the position of hired en-
ploye- In fact, money has crowded
them out of Australia.
