TIE Democratic organs are bowling
Justify that the so called sherman Act, -
providing for the monthly purchase by
the government Of 81 10000 ounces Of
silver, is the canse OF tie present tinan-

last Congress was prevented because tnir-
ty-four Republicans in the House voted
against it for the purpose Of putting the
Cleveland Administration in a hole"
We would like some Of these organs to
tell us what the $50 Democratic majority
in the House was doing, while thirty
four members fthe Republican minori-

noxious law. Or why don't Mr.. Cleye-

After Dinner Speaking.

An after dinner speech should never
be wholly facetious, unless the speaker
is very facetious indeed and cuts his
speech short. 1t should not be frivolous,
even when the speakeris full of frivolity.
It must not under any circumstances be
silly, though there be people who laugh
st Stiffness. It must not be too long
winded, or highly exciting, or overheavy,
or ultra argumentative, or entirely sta
tistical, or In the least rancorous. An
after dinner speech should be appropriate
to the occasion and delivered on time.
1t may contain some essential thoughts,
some strokes Of humor, some scraps Of
knowledge, some bits Of fancy, some
sound reasons, some good whims, some
green dressing and a little fat.
Every sblebodied man Of New York is
apt to be an after dinner speaker some
time in his life. 1t is possible that as
many as 5000 after dinner speeches have
been made here during one winter sea-
son. One man has record of 10 of them
for single week, three Of them for one
evening.
We have heard some tiptop after din
ner speeches, q few. We have heard
others that were wearisome, inappropri-
ate, exasperating, enfeebling OF foolish.
We have heard several which were rant
or drivel.
A good many men have won renown
by making clever after dinner speeches.

When he was asked what evidence he

Indifference to serious public affairs. Our
political system has developed certain de-
fects, but no effort is made to get rid Of
them. The people of some Of our largest
states submit to boss rule which they

consecutive years.

Stealing the Declaration of Independence

Stealing the Declaration of Independence.
When James Monroe was president
and John Quincy Adams secretary Of
state, an ingenious English engraver OBJ
tanned permission of the two dignitaries
mentioned to take the Declaration of In
dependence and engrave it in facsimile
on copper. He carried the precious docu-
ment to the printing Office of one Peter
Force. When everything was in readi-
ness, he placed it upon the imposing
stone and laid sheet of india paper Of
the same size upon it. This india paper
was next moistened with water in which
gum arabic had been dissolved. Aheavy
proof roller with q weight hanging from
each end was then rolled several times
over the historic document. When the
india paper was removed from the face
Of the instrument, it took with il at least
one-half of the ink used in writing and
signing the document.
The document is less than a century
and quarter years old, and with proper
care should be almost as legible as twas
on the 5th day Of July, 1910. AS it is,
only II signatures out of the SO can be
read without glass, and some of them
have disappeared beyond recall, all on
account of the thieving trick Of gov
ernment which, when they found that
they could not keep the colonies depend
ent, stole the very ink from the docu-
ment which declares our independence.

Where the year is always tuned 70 May,
And the wind sounds soft as a lark aloft,

To make dull hours grow bright as flowers,
And tasks that are old turn light as new.

From empty hands sweet favors flow,
And pleasures bloom In lives Of gloom
Where naught but sorrow seemed to grow.
