This question can not bs settled by typewrittsr reconimeudatioth and sug- ges.iots made by bosrds of trade and sent tt8aatast over ths Unised States. It can only be settled by the great mass of the voters of this country who stand like the Rock of Gibraltar for the use of both gold ana sifyer.. IApplaase
 There are thousands, yes, tens of thousands, aye, even millions, who have not yet bowed the knee to Baal. Let the President take courage. Muehl- back relates an incident in the life of the great military hero of France. At Marengo the Man of Destiny. sad and disheartened, thought the battle lost. He called to drumnfet boy and or dered him to beat retfeGt. The lad replied
 Sire, I do not know how. Dessaix has never taught me to retreat, but I can beat charge. Oh, l can beat a charge that would make the dead fall into liue I beat that charge at the Bridge of Lodi; I beat 1t at Mount Ta- bor beat it at the Pyramids Oh, may I beat it here ?
 Phs G.nsgs vas ordered, the battle won, and Marengo was added to the victories of Napoleon. Oh, let our gallant leader draw inspiration from the street gamin of Paris. In the face Of an enemy proud and confident the President has wavered. Engaged in the battle royal between the 'moDey power and the common people, he has ordered retreat. Let him not be dis mayed.
 He has won greater victories than Napoleon. for he is i Ysarrior who has conauersd' @ithout sword. He re- stofsd' fiaehty in the pubfic service he converted Deniocrafic hope into reali- zatioR he took np the banner of tariff reform and carried is % triumph. Let him continue that greater fighs for "the gold and silver coinage of the C6nsti- tuition, to which three national plat forms have pledged him. Let his clar- ibh' Vofce call the party hosts to arms lot him but speak the language of the Senator from Texss in reply to those who would destroy tae ttse of silver:

hrltain.s Bitter pstitleal Struggle.

The final passage of the home rule bill by the commons now seems to be in sight. The committee stage may be vexatious and slow, but the bill will go through within reasonable time and be sent to its death in the house of lords. That the dead bill will in the end prove weapon with which the house of peers itself will be struck down is confidently predicted by the Liberal leaders. Before that day comes, however, Brithin must pass through the bitterest political strug- gle of her modern history. and a strug- gle which will involve issues far greater than those If the present measurei- London Letter.

Fasting Versus Antifat

Miss Mollie Nealson set out to fast 3l days. She had more pluck than strength, but she managed to complete the task. The only interesting thing in connection with the feat is the fact that her weight fell from 202 to 164 pounds, loss of II pounds day. This would indicate that ordinary fasting as it is called, would not be q very efficient antifat remedy. If Miss Nealson wishes to continue her explorations in this line of science, She may yet become public benefactor. Certainly young woman who weighs 900 pounds has strong personal in- centiye.

complImenta of nerr krnnn.

According to an interesting rumor, our esteemed friend, Herr Krupp, intends giving that mammoth shooting iron now at Jackson park to Chicago with his compliments. If this is so, then Herr Krupp has our best thanks and all the eonrtesies that are to be had in such an ineffably bad season of weather The gun weighs 270.O00 pounds .and over, and as 1t cost SS0,000 to make 1t Herr Krupps testimonial would involve some little expense.
 But really we are not at all sure we know what to do with the weapon. The eity has no marine defense to sustain, and a couple of trusty derringers in off, cial hands are the only weapons needed in clearing out offensive bumbohts. It costs S1 200 to shoot the thing, and that is quite tidy sum to pay for the priv ilege of bowling over targets placed out in the midwaters of Lake Michigan. And when it went of we greatly fear that some of llr. O'Neill's inspected" hotels in the neighborhood would draw themselves up and drop into dust heaps. Besides, the thing would have to have a fort to be housed in. And having one fort we should need to have two to be really thoroughly equipped Having these. we'd want moro guns and more marines, and more gunpowder. And then with all these, what use would they be unless we got up war just to have everything in keeping?
 Still. it's great gun and an infiuen. tial discourager of inimical advances. If we must take it, Herr Krupp has our thanks. Chicago Record.
