Senator VOORHEES,, oon.stsnse.

Some Of Che silveritcs are reported 60
he suggesting that Senator voorhees, must
have "a very elastic conscience or he could
not have SO readily abandoned the posi-
fion he had SO long occupied
so respect 20 silver Senator Voorhees,
conscience docs not trouble him for any
thing he mas said or done in connection
with silver. He has done only what he
became convinced il was his duty to do
He would not have been an honest man if
he had persisted in demanding the free
coinage Of silver as a substitute for the
Sherman silver law If he became con
WINGED that the best interest Of the coun-
try required the immediate and uncondi-
tional repeal of the Sherman law.
He is as much a friend of silver as ever
he was, and is willing to adopt any rea-
sonable method for bringing about BIZ
metallism, but he is unwilling, for the
sake of trying an experiment, to take
the risk Of wrecking the business and in
dustries of the country. His conscience
is sufficiently elastic to permit him to do
what his judgment says is for the public
good, and what the people want done.
In that respect his conscience
differs from that of some
other senators who are so pig
headed that they neither respond to the
demands of the people nor give satisfac-
tory reasons for their refusal to assist in
repeating the Sherman silver law There
isn't one of these silver senators who pre-
tends that he can name a ratio between
gold and silver which, if the free coinage
of SILVER were adopted, would give the
country a sound and stable currency or
maintain the parity between gold and
silver coin. 1t is greatly to be regretted
that there are not more senatorial CON
sciences like that Of Senator Voorhees,.
If there were the country would be better

Are they Not silver DIonometallistsF

Are They Not Silver Monometallists ?
Tho slvnrites in congress declare they
are bimctallisis. and yet the arguments
they make in behalf Of silver aai The
ratios between gold and silver which
E thog propose lead not % bimetallism but
7 10 silver recommendation. The national
+ democratic platform favors free COINAGE
of silver. and so, virtually, does the ma
I tional republican platform, but both plat
{ forms contain the declaration that the
parity between gold and silver currency
must be maintained.
Does any silverite in congress admit
that he favors a ratio that would make
5rsilver dollar worth iutrinsically rs much
gold dollar2 If any one of them has
made such an admission the fact has not
got into print. The most that any Of them
viii consent TO is an increase in the ratio
from 1910 TO 20 to /. At the ratio of 20 to
the intrinsic value a silverdollar,a at the
present price Of silver, would be about
IS cents. The silverites purpose TO force
the people to accept IS cents worth Of
silver, or less if they can, for a dollar.
What would be the result of the free
coinage of silver dollars having that in
trinsic value2 There would be only one
result The country would go to the silver
standard. because silver could not be ex-
changed for gold on parity. Silver coin
would be received at its intrinsic value
and no legislation could give it any great
er value. In his silver speech in the Sen
ate last Monday Senator Morrill, said that
the coins of no monometallist nation
We're ever current, and never win be, at a
single fraction above their intrinsic val
ue." mo man." he said "out-
side of an insane asylum
would receive the silver coins of Mexico,
India and Peru for more than their weight
in bullion.
The silverites pretend to believe, how
ever, that the free coinage of silver would
cause the price of silver to rise to such
an extent that silver and gold currency
would circulate on parity. BY propos-
ing new ratio of 20 to they admit that
silver and gold would not circulate on a
parity at the ratio of 16 to /. What
reason, then, have they for saying
that the coins of the metals
would circulate on parity at
a ratio of 90 to II. They have never
given a satisfactory reason, because they
have none. They simply guess they
would. They are either willing to take
the risk of bringing overwhelming dis
aster on the country to try an experiment
or they are silver monometallists. The
conclusion cannot be avoided that they
are silver monometallists masqueradinga
bimetallist. They should take off the
mask and stand before the country for
what they are.

Willis Grave.

That grave on the right hand Of the path,
as you go down to the porch door, that heap
Of atrth with no growth, not one blade Of
grass on it-that's VIII Pooley's grave that
was hanged unjustly," writes Rev. r. S.
Hawker in his prose works.
Indeed But how came such q shocking
deed to be done?"
Why you see sir, they got poor VIII down
to Bodmin, all among strangers, and there
was bribery and false swearing, and an IN
just judge came down-and the jury all bad
rascals, ttn-and-cOpper men-and so they all
agreed together, and they hanged poor viii.
But his friends begged the body, and brought
the corpse home here to his own parish. and
they turfed the grave and they sowed
the grass twenty times over, but twas all no
use, nothing would ever grow-he was hanged
unjustly."
We'll. but, Tristan, you have not told me
all this while what this man POOley was ac-
cused Of what had he dOnei"
Done, sir Done! Nothing whatever but
killed the eXciSemanl"

A Worlds Fair Incident.

A man from Boston with black wallet in
his hand stopped at a mineral water fountain
to sip drink, says the Chicago Herald. This
cost him 1 cent. While he was drinking the
w W NJ l1Iu llS pocketoook upon the counter
walked away. Miss Katie Morse who stood
behind the counter, placed the wallet in
drawer. half hour later Notwithstanding
man with face as gray as old mortar rushed
up to the pavilion and in a half breathless
voice asked if he had left his pocketbook
there.
Il think you did," said the woman. IFS
this it7''
The man from Boston opened the leaves
and counted 81, 900 in greenbacks. Yes. that s
it, he said with a sigh of satisfaction. II am
much obliged TO you"
But won t you take drink" the pretty
girl asked. It's only a cent you know
"Oh, really, couldn't" this Boston man
said. Il have had one glass and that's quite
a plenty" Boston is in Massachusetts and
quite close to Salem, Lynn and Plymouth.

Peculiar instance Of Economv

An excursion from Birmingham to Mont
gomery was run the other day, says the Biz
mingham (Ala) Age-Herald. A negro man
appeared at the ticket Office in the depot and
purchased ticket for himself Then he said
TO the ticket agent:
Boss, 1 want 'nudder round trip 'scursion
ticket for a corpse"
The agent opened his eyes in astonishment.
An excursion ticket for a corpse was some
thing new to him, even with HIS varied expe-
rience.
The negro explained: ''You see, boss, my
brudder died yesterday and 1 want ter take
de corpse down to Montgomery and let de
family view the mains, and den bring EN-
back to Birmingham and bury EN-. Dis will
be heap cheaper den fur de family to cum
up here"
The agent saw at once that this was a great
stroke of economy and enterprise on the part
OF the negro. There were probably a dozen
members of the family, and tickets for them
to Birmingham and board while here would be
quite expensive. The corpse could get the
benefit of excursion rates to Montgomery
and would pay no board while there. Thus
the negro subserved the ends of economy and
preserved his respect for the grief of the
family at the same time.

The Position of the Senate.

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal Dem.
The House of Representatives may be
surgeons be ready enough, the surgery is of the
toughest. whilst the Senate, fancying itself
q college OF learned professors, drones on
from day to day in pOmpous exposition of its
superiority, until its dignity. dilapidated and
dishgured and made thoroughly odious to the
people, gets a kick from the tip end of the
popular boot, sending it sprawling in the
ditch, when it picks itself up and proceeds to
business as smart and lively as many anoth-
er first class, but exploded humbug. In other
words. the average senator is wont to wait to
see which way the cat is going to jump, and
the way the cat jumps he jumps, regardless of
appearances and consistency.

A Poor wav to Get Relief.

If current reports may be depended
upon, the national capital is threatened
with an invasion of unemployed men,
from various sections of the country, who
hope to impress upon congress the neces-
sity for doing something for their relief
At st. Louis the other day proposition
to send delegates of the unemployed TO
Washington was favorably received, and
knots and gatherings of idle men urged
all who could to cheat" their way to
Washington and endeavor to influence
members of congress. At Denver recently
it was advertised, in a spirit of sarcasm,
that a freight train and box
car excursion would be run to Wash
ington to carry unemployed men for
the purpose of making a demonstra-
tion in the streets of that city. The New
York mobs Of the past few days proposed
to send men to Washington to tell the
wants of the unemployed there THERE'S,
by the way, considerable difference be-
tween the wants of the unemployed of the
west and of those who made up the recent
demonstrations in New York The west
erners say they want work by which to
earn bread The riotous New Workers,
led by anarchists, demanded" that the
government feed them. They are not
looking for work
The Washington Star learns that agita-
tors who are working up the scheme of a
4 great demonstration of the unemployed in
| front of the capitol and the white house
have agents actively at work in the east
ern cities. And it reminds the authori-
ties and the workingmen that tramps,
criminals and vicious ldlers would be
likely to outnumber the unfortunate but
law abiding unemployed workingmen In
such a demonstration.
What could be accomplished by such
demonstration as the one proposed7 The
utmost that the sincere and honest unem-
| ployed workingman could expect would
be to impress upon congressman the fact
| that the state of the country demands
| immediate action for the restoration of
| confidence. Could that be better accom-
| plished by parade, and possibly a riot
than through the better mediums Of the
newspapers and the mails? Patriotic
newspapers are daily picturing to the
members of congress the condition of the
country and urging the prompt repeal of
the silver-purchase law. The members
are intelligent men; are they not, there
! fore, more likely to be influenced by dis
passionate statement of facts than by the
| shoutings and banners of a crowd2

The Presidents proclamation fixing the
time for the opening of the Cherokee strip
will probably be the signal for boomers
to rush to the border in anticipation of
being able TO grab valuable quarter sec
ton of land at the opening. There are
already several thousand men, women
and children on the border, who have
been there for more than month await
ing the proclamation Many Of the
boomers who rush to every opening of
Indian lands are people who left, in the
eastern or middle states, better farms
than the average of those to be had in the
new country; still, the remote pos
sibility Of picking up a fortune by a
lucky strike is a temptation greater than
they can resist.

means, is in every way model appointment.
The appointment of Mr. Bland as chairman
OF the committee on coinage, weights and
measures is about the worst choice that the

that resulted in his selection for this impor

Purely a Business Question.

A brief passage from the Fifty-second con
gress may be revived with profit, says the
Washington Star. Delegate Marcus Smith,
from Arizona, had before the House a propo-
sition to authorize his territory to issue some
sort of bonds to cover it's debt. In the bill
appeared the inevitable words, payable in
gold coin"
Il move" said mischevous member from
across the aisle, Ito substitute for gold the
word silver" And then he brought up the
quotation, Consistency, thou art jewel."t
This is not question of consistency" re-
piled the Arizona delegate warmly, lit only
a question of floating those bonds"

The city of San Francisco and Blanche
Walsh, an actress from New York. are
engaged in cruel conflict. Miss walsh.
it seems, went out west to show wild
Frisco what real acting, such as New
York raves over, is like. Her appearance
was characterized by what the Hon. Jas.
Corbett would call "a dead cold frost, 3"
and the newspapers said Miss Walsh
could not act even little bit. Blanche
replied wrathfully that what allied San
Francisco was, it did not know art when
it saw 1T; that its education had been
sadly neglected. That made Frisco
vince with pain and flush with anger, but
it was not decisive blow, as witness its
latest and most terrific effort to crush
her-a story that Miss Walsh, of New
York, blew out the gas in her bed cham
Der a few nights ago and narrowly es-
capped asphyxiation.
