THE DUMP THEORY.

The dump theory is receiving
some very hard knocks just now. II
has been urged that if we have free
coinage Of silver that other nations
will make this a I'd ,mping ground"
for their cheap silver and hat will
make it cheaper. 1t has never been
explained why the same theory would
not apply 10 gold. The two metals
were used side b side on equal terms
in tn III try for eighty years AS
long as they are given equal chances
they remained at par ty with each
other And during all that time
no foreign nation ever made
any ma rushes to dump her silver
here either. This dumping" theory
is purely imaginative. No such
thing has ever been done. No nation
is willing to part with its coin unless
they have surplus, and no country
in Europe ha a surplus, unless it is
Australia. Again, if the dump"
theory is entitled to any weight as an
argument at all it is as applicable to
gold as to silver. We are informed
that the last few weeks has
brought from Europe millions of
dollars of gold to this country. In fact,
the European countries seem to be
dumping their gold on our shores.
Now if the dump" theory is an argu-
ment at all gold ought to be demone
ii ed But it is not an argument.

WHAT ARE WE COMING TO?

report is being spread among finan'
ciers that Cleveland is out with Car
Isle because that gentleman has not
had some pleasant agreement with the
republicans. This is il view of the
fact that republican votes are needed
TO secure the unconditional repeal OF
the Sherman act !"
Might the plain people of America
be permitted to ask the ''au horiiy", OF
even in an awe-struck,, reverential
whisper, ask "the throne ITSELF" what
kind of an agreement can be had by
honest democrats with republicans?
Are Offices to be given to republicans

bill repeating the act of an alleged
statesman of the republican stripe?
Ism here a fine chance for some car
toonist to make picture of Cleveland

the other?

years has led New York society by the
nose, and taught the Vanderbilts how
to behave in company and how many
courses to have at their coarse, wit
less feasts. has been called upon by
the World to give his opinion and he
gravely states that people waste
the money" This new economist
then proceeds to show how the ex-
travagance of the rich Injuries the
country financially. 1t is but just to
this leader of the New York 400 to
admit, however, that he occasionally
deviates into sense. His suggestion
that New York or any large city
ought to own and manage all public
functions, like horse and electric cars,
shows that thought wi ! intrude even
into fashionable brain. But to say
that people, that is, the people, waste
their money is sheer drivel, when

a bushel to produce, or corn that costs
him 25, he is now being forced to sell
at 80 and 10 cents respectively. Same
way with cotton. All that product
brings now to the producer is 7 cents
a pound, and it costs 10. This means
another mortgage, another tax paid

company gathered at 500 Somerville avenue

of a young woman from Ireland. To give
zest and add to the sociability of the occa-
sion several cases of beer were provided,
with other refreshments.
Among those present were John H. Tat
tan, his father, Michael j. Buckley, and
Thomas +. O'Reilly. For some reason,
about II o'clock, young Tattan got into
sdispute with Buckley and O'Reilly.
A free fight was soon i'm progress. Tat
tan was taken In hand by the other two
men, and after a severe pummelling was
thrown down stairs. Buckley he chung to
and carried with him. In some way an ice
chest, which stood near the top of the
stairs, was started down after them. IL
went the full length Of the stairs and
struck Tattan, who wa stunned.
When arraigned Thursday Buckley and
O'Reilly pleaded not guilty to the charge
of assault and battery. They were held in
$1,000 each TO await the result of Tattan's
injuries.
Tattan, when he appeared As a witness,
did not seem seriously injured. He grew
worse rapidly, and Saturday he died Drs.

HOW WE TASTE

Sensitive.
Strictly speaking, with the tip Of the
tongue one cannot really taste at all
If you put a drop Of oil of bitter almonds
on that part of the mouth you will find,
no doubt, to your great surprise, that 1t
produces no effect Of any sort; you only
taste it when it begins slowly to diffuse
itself and reaches the true tasting region
in the middle distance. But if you put
a little mustard or cayenne on the same
part you will find that it bites you inn
mediately--the experiment should be
tried sparingly-while If you put it
lower down in the mouth you will swal-
low 1t almost without noticing the pun
gency of the stimulant.
The reason is, says the Yankee Blade,
hat the tip Of the tongue is supplied
only with the nerves Of touch, not
nerves OF taste proper; they belong to a
totally different main branch, and they
go TO a different center in the brain,
together with the very similar threads,
which supply the nerves Of smell FIR

these pungent substances are so much

a good sniff at a mustard reproducing
almost the same irritating effects as an
incautious dose.
When n is trying deliberate expert
ments on the subject in order to test
the varying sensitiveness of the differ
entzparts to different substances IL is
necessary to keep the tongue quite
dry in order to isolate the thing you
are experimenting with and prevent it
spreading to all parts Of the mouth to-
gether. In actual practice this result
is obtained in a rather ludicrous la
ner-by blowing upon the tongue be.
