An Irish Tradition,

Nowhere does tradition flourish SO
luxuriantly as in Ireland. In places
every inch of the ground has its queer
history and some quaint story attached
to it. For instance, not far from Bel
fast there is a romantic old we'll in a
curious hollow of the hills called Barnas
gap. The WELLS known as Barnas we'll
and is filled at the bottom with white
stones, the heather around being GOV.
cred with pieces of rags. Close, too, is
large mound composed of stones,
which is said to cover the bones of a
holy friar long since dead. Every visi-
tor to the we'll appears to make it a
practice of adding stone to the heap
already there, but for what reason it is
impossible to say.

Black Governors in Rhode Island.

Alice Morse Earle describes in the
Ne,o England Magazine the election of
n-gro Governors in Rhode Islam in old
colonial times. After the white people
had elected the Governor of the State
the slaves had a curious custom of
gathering together on the third Satur-
day in June and electing black Gov
ernor. To this election the negroes
went in fine style on Narragansett pa
GERS, with their wives on pillions be-
hind them. All were dressed with their
finest clothes, with swords and with
powdered hair, and often q long false
cue tied on behind. When all had
gathered together the vote was taken
by the opposing parties falling into
two long lines, with the respective can
didates at the head, the lines then were
counted and the longest line elected its
candidate. After the election a sup
per and dance were given, for which
the white owner of the newly elected
black Governor had to pay. The last
election of slave Governor was held
in 1900, but the custom of "nigger lee
ton" day did not die out through New
England until many years later.

Sunday Closing.

z. S. Henson, ID. D., addressing the
Convention of b. Z. P. N. A. assembled
at Indianapolis, said on the evening of
July 18th. "Some of you may have
had conscientious scruples about COM
ing to the Worlds Fair but | want to
assure you that before Tomorrow
sun goes down the cause for those
scruples will be removed" On the
morning of the 18th came the telegram
announcing the Sunday closing, and
great were the manifestations of Joy
which greeted it. David Spencer, d.
ID. of Racine had prepared song for
the occasion and it was sung with
thrilling spirit.

Rimefalism

1t is of greatest Importance at pres
ent that it be maintained that the
world needs both gold and silver for
monetary purposes. One of these
alone is not sufficient. 1t would be
unfortunate for humanity to exclude
either gold or silver as money metal.
1t is undoubtedly true that the pro.
duction of the precious metals, and
especially that of silver, has increased,
but in proportion to the function
which these metals are called upon to
perform, the accumulation of gold and
silver is less than at any former time.
Bimetalism is therefore world nee.
eSsity, although it must be admitted
that at the present moment it seems
as if silver is destined to be excluded
from every mint. In this country BIZ
metalism is moreover natural result
of the very laws of nature. Ours is
the only country which produces both
gold and silver in large quantities.
We produce about one-third of the to-
tai of the world of the precious metals.
The gold production of the world in
1883 was about 500, 900, of which
about 100000 fell to the United
States, and silver about SI42, zoo, 900,
of which S50,010,000 was produced
here. Australia comes next with
S30,000,0 900 in gold, but only about
So 900, 900 in silver. Russia has 500.
100000 in gold, but scarcely a million
of silver. Mexico over $40, O0O,0 in
silver and less than one million of gold
Bolivia about SlI 900, 900 in silver and
no gold. The United States alone
produces both metals In approximately
like quantities. Our production is BIZ
metallic, and ought to be the natural
groundwork for our system of coinage.
The stoppage of free coinage of sill.
yer in India has naturally weakened
the position of silver in all coun-
tries. But the worst enemies to our
silver are not English statesmen, nor
President Cleveland, NOT even Wall
Street. 1t is rather the extreme silver
men that an enlightened bimetallism
has reason to fear. Unlimited coinage
of silver dollars in the ratio of 10 to l
when the real value of silver is about
20 to l is fallacy which exposes the
labor, industries and commerce of the
whole country 20 the greatest danger
As long as the .eople will support the
silver kings in coinage sy stem rest
ing on such gigantic lie, there is no
hope u serviceable and satisfactory
solution of the silver question in this
country. --Skandindren

AN ART TEMPTATION.

Portland Herald: A new high

Just added s250,OO0 worth of mag
nifcent paintings, some of which
have a worldwide celebrity, to its

will be induced to go in and look
at the beautiful works of art, and
once in how easy to recline in the
gorgeously cushioned chairs and sip
a glass of wine. at would look so
mean not to buy anything, you
know" And so the young and un-
suspecting are seduced into the way
that leads through the low GROCERY
to the drunkards' hell. We leave it
to our license contemporaries to say
in what respect these gilded license
saloons are better (for the temper
ance cause) than the disgraced and
outlawed back-alley rum-holes of
Maine, which can be found only by
the initiated and which no respecta-
BILE person can be induced to enter.

THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL.

Rev. DR.. McLaren says: It may
be questioned whether the boosted
quickening and Frightening effects
of alcohol are not always, in a less
degree, that same beguiling Of sense
and exciting of imagination which,
in their extreme form, make man
such a pitiable and ridiculous sight.
1t is better to be dull, and see things
as they are, than to be brilliant and
see things larger, brighter, or any
way other than they are, because
we see them through a mist. I'm
agination set agoing by such stimu-
lus will not work to as much pur-
pose as if aroused by truth. Gods
world seen by sober eyes is better
than rosy dreams of it. If we need
to draw our inspiration from alcohol
we had better remain uninspired.

Whitewater REGISTER: Why are
10000 miners in Northern Wisconsin
and Michigan idle! Simply because
the country voted to let cheap foreign
iron products compete at ruinous rates
with the products of American mines
and mills. Why are 5000 factory EN-.
ployes at Oshkosh out of work and
why are thousands of like employees
being discharged or having their
wages cut down at every manufac-
turing center every Saturday night!
For practically the same reason. They
wanted "change" and they have got
it. They possibly can buy British
jack.knife or German overcoat lit
tie cheaper than before, but what
benefit is that 20 them when there is
no cash in their pockets to buy with!

What the Billion Means.

A billion dollars is sum so enor-
nous that it is almost impossible for
the mind to comprehend its vastness.
Il would give one thousand men for
tunes of a million dollars each. 1t
would provide twenty thousand men
with competence of fifty thousand
dollars. 1t is nearly twice as much as
the entire interest," bearing debt of the
United States. 1t would pay all of the
expenses of the National Government
for two years and half. If divided
equally it would give about eighty
dollars to every man who voted for
President and Vice.President in 1892.
1t is three.fourths as much as all the
currency in the United States-gold,
silver and paper.
Enormous as this sum is it does not
equal the loss to the American people
that has been caused by Democratic
rule. The country would have been
more than a billion dollors richer to-
day if Cleveland had been defeated
and Harrison elected last November.
The triumph of the party of Free
Trade and dishonest money has revers-
ed the current of business and indus
try. The shrinkage in values which
began on March 4 and has been inten-
sifed by Democratic imbecility at
Washington, has prevailed throughout
the whole country, and has cost the
people, as the Press has shown by in
controveItible figures, over $1,000
100000.
1t is at once foolish and cowardly for
Democrats to try to evade response
bility for this unprecedented depreci-
alton of the peoples property. The
facts are self-evident. The nation
was splendidly prosperous under Re-
publican government. IL has gone
from prosperity to panic in four
months under the government of the
party that is pledged to PROSTATE
