MAUD UP TO DATE.

Maud Muller, on summer night.
Came out beneath the moons pale light,
And sang with zest that same old tune,
MY Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon.''
And each bright star up In the sky
At Maudie winked his other eye.
But, naught abashed she still sang on
And babe the lippant stars begone.
just here man of daring mien
Appeared upon this painful scene,
And whispered soft in her pink ear
Most pleasant words for maid to hear.
Said he: 20. cease your dizzy dream
Aud come with me and have some cream"
She hesitated in her choice,
A faltering note came in her voice
She stopped. The ice cream plea had won
The moon was knocked out by the son.

PECK,s BALD HEAD.

This matter of PECK's bald head is
getting into tangle. AS it started out
in lis rounds of the press it was simple
matter enough. PECK was a soldier
and underwent the dangers of that
avocation. doing his duty, no doubt. and
escaped injury. After the United
States took off from their eX-Soldiers
the responsibility of caring for them
selves, PECK applied for a pension and,
under the dependent pension act, was
granted one. The pension record of his
case showed that he was granted pen
sion because of his inability to earn
support because of Floss of hair, result
of typhoid fever" These are the curt
and abbreviated terms of the record.
Up to this point all is clear. PECK
asked for pension because he had had
very bad attack of typhoid fever, which
deprived him at once of his hair and of
his ability for self-support. There were
some people in this wide country who
were inclined to demur at this, and say
that pensioning had run to seed when
bald heads were pensionable. Some
others were inclined to be facetious
about it, and suggested that it would
make theater managers raise still higher
the price of front seats at their shows.
Then again, it was Democratic admin
istration which had discovered PECK
and exposed his pensioned bald head,
and it was felt by those opposed to the
administration that something must be
said in the defense OF PECK and of this
sacrilegious attack on what Commander
in-Chief WEIssERT terms the ''princi-
plies" of the GrandArmy. So the National
Tribune, whose owner runs profitable
pension ageney,and who may have done
the job for PECK. makes statement of
what the Milwaukee Wisconsin would
call the ''true facts" of the case.
Here is where the mudde begins.
PECK, it says, set forth In his affidavit
that he had had the typhoid fever,
WINCH left him as hairless as when he
came into this cruel world. He men-
toned this to show how bad a case it
was. The board of examining surgeons
found that PECK did have. the fever,
and that it left him very debllitated,
and especially that it had caused vari-
cose veins which in themselves would
have warranted pension. 1t was Sug-
gested. says this eXplainer, that the
pension be granted on this ground,
'tbut it was found that Picks affidavit
made no reference to these" enlarged
veins land SOP the pension was al
lowed; ''loss of hair, result of typhoid
| fever"
| There you have it. The act gives a
pension for disability precluding sup
port by manual labor. PECK had the
| fever, lost his hair, and applied for a
| pension on that ground. 1t is clear that
| PECK did not consider that his varicoSe
veins hindered his getting living. Or
he would have said so. The examining
| surgeons thought that the want of hair
did not preclude him from self-support.
| but discovered the veins. The pension
office did not ask PECK to drop his
loss of hair aud substitute the veins,
but decided that "loss of hair, result of
typhoid fever" will prevent man from
earning his living by manual labor and
is pensionable. Really, we cannot see
that PECK's case is any better for the
explanation; in fact, it seems 10 have
been made worse.

Praise for the West.

New York Herald
The St. Paul chamber o. commerce,
following the lead of the New York
chamber, has moved for the speedy
and unconditional repeal of the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman law.
1t adopted resolutions yesterday calling
a convention of delegates from neigh
boring states to voice a demand for the
stoppage of silver buying.
This action is all the more significant
and'encouraging because it is taken in
the West. 1t sets timely precedent
which it is to be hoped will be generally
followed.
The day has passed for discussing
whether the government should stop
buying and boarding useless silver. The
time has arrived for action. From every
quarter of the country should come an
imperative demand for the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the law
which has brought untold injury to the
financial and commercial welfare of the
country. and which must be a menace
to the national prosperity as long as 1t
is tolerated on the statute book.
Repeal the Sherman law. Stop buy
ing silver. That demand should be
voiced so imperatively by the nation as
to be heard and needed by congress
when it meets.

MULTITUDE OF COUNSEL.

1t is not one of the least indicative of
the signs of the times, this multitude of
suggestions made in and out of print of
remedies for the financial ills into
which our Republican brothers have
brought the country by their variegated
monetary legislation. These come not
alone from those who are familiar with
such matters from practical experience
or from study, but from men in all
ranks of life. They range all the way
down from the plans offered by ATKIN-
son, the man of affairs and statistics, to
the vaporings of the widest of the sur
vivors of the greenback lunacy. We
can imagine the GREENE or MCMASTER
of the next century gathering them
from the newspapers and pamphlets of
today and using them to Illustrate the
fertility, if also the crudeneSs of none
tary ideas, and especially to show how
little benefit men derive from the eX-
perience of their fathers.
Among the many that have come to
the GLOBE is one suggesting that we
return to the stamp tax as means of
getting revenue to supply any possible
deficiency. The writer thinks this would
help solve the question of free trade,
and would be more popular than tax
on tea and coffee, or sugar, and eSpe-
cially more than would be an increase
of the tax on beer. There are two rea-
sons why this suggestion will not meet
with favor. The first one Is that there
has come down to us from our RevOiu-
tionary ancestors, with some other pref
udiceS having less of merit, an idea
that a stamp tax is associated with OPP
preston. 1t was not reSOrted to in our
own civil war until the government was
driven TO hunt revenue in every possible
corner, and the manner in which it was
taken off after the war only served to
make such tax more obnoxious.
But asbetter reason is or should be,
that it is not in the line of the present
Democratic movement. 1t will not do
for the party to be following bad and
undemocratic precedents and picking
I'D discarded methods of taxing. There is
ferment working among the people; a
dissatisfaction with makeShifts and eX-
pedients, and a desire to do better than
has been done. We see this In the va
carries proposed with more or less seri-
BUSINESS by the Populists, and we see it
in better form in the great advance
made in the thought of the Democratic
party. We see it in the frequent use
of the words ''paternal" and demo
cratic" as applied to the functions of
government. Never was the time more
opDortune, never was the need greater
or the benefit more certain than now to
demand that the fundamental princi-
pies of Democracy, not the eXpedients
it may have some times adopted. be
used to m assure the policies of the
party and the various schemes proposed
for the betterment of conditions. If the
Democratic party does not do this, it
will miss the great opportunity that has
come to it, and which, if grasped, will
draw to it the intelligent, thoughtful,
earnest men of the country.

The word s'under'' needs defining

supposed that they knew just what it

for it. That's the way it is at my house,

DEAF AND DUMB.
He Has Not ALI the Disadvantages

We are prone to treat the deaf and

of.p1ty; but is he? He can walk the
streets OF great active city without
having his nerves lacerated by multitu-
dinous and discordant noises.
He can live in peace and quietness on
the line of an elevated railroad, and
lawyers never poster him to sue the CON-
pany because his sleep Is disturbed by
theela:ter of car wheels.
No one vino knows him ever stops him
Oh the street to tell him the latest story.
Scandals are never poured into his
ear.
He can always turn deaf ear to the
man who wants to borrow money, and
this alone is an income in itself.
If he knows the deaf and dumb al
phabet he has alb the knowledge he
possesses at his fingers ends.
If he carries slate he can put his
drinks on it if the bartender refuses to
do so.
He is not compelled to talk when he
doesn't feel like it. =
A female friend never asks him to
hail street car for her.
He is spared from being expected to
holler oil the streets alfnight when cleo

Finally, no matter what other calam-

THAT Rad MIR. PREsTOv

The secretary of the treasury is d.
rected to buy 100000 ounces of silver
each month in the open market. He
does this III pursuance of a law de-
signed to benefit the producers of sill
yer. The government does not want
the silver; it has now more than it
knows what to do with. 1t is done sole
ly because of the paternal nature of
government and its obligation to help
some of its children along who aren't
able to help themselves. Mr.. PRESTON.
the acting director of the mint. who has
been deputed by the secretary to buy
this silver, is a Democrat, and takes
altogether the wrong view of his work
and duty. Instead of suggesting to the
offerers of bullion that they aren't get
ting enough and that they should
"bull' their silver; instead of taking
the silver at what they think it is worth,
this Stoiid Democrat really assumes that
1t is purely business transaction, Just
as if.the government were buying some
thing it needed for the use of any of its
branches, and that, like oats or anything
else it buys, the government should
not pay 1or silver more than 1t is
worth. He has carried this so far as to
have become what ex-President HARRI-
son said Democrats were nor. "a stu
dent of maxims not markets." and scans
the reports at home and abroad to see
what the metal is worth. Worse yet; if
he thinks the offers are too high he re-
fuses to buy, and actually haggles like
woman at bargain counter; really
Jews" the poor bulIionaires down;
"bears" the market and so on. Clearly
this conduct is away below the philan-
thropic spirit of the act, and is deserv-
ing of the severest censure, which the
GLOBE is glad to see he is getting
from the Republican papers. He ought
to execute Republican laws in the true
Republican spirit.

EIGHT CLAUSES PASSED.
Rapid Progress Made on the
Home Rule Bill.

Rapid Progress Made on the
Home Rule Bill.
LONDON, July 13.-The debate in COM
mittee of the whole on clause 9 of the
home rule bill was marked by ali attack
on MIR. Gladstone by member of his
party. Robert Wallace NlberaD, mem
Der from Edinburgh, was opposed to the
withdrawal of the ''in-and-out' SUBJ
section of clause Q. announcement of
which was made by MIR. Gladstone YES
terday, and he spoke at length against
the course of the prime minister. He
said that the withdrawal of this sub
section gave to the Irish members re-
tanned in the imperial parliament all
the rights and privileges held by British
members, and this would deprive Great
Britain of home rule by making Irish
members the arbiterS of British in
tereStS.
Henre L.abouchere, the weIl-known
Radical, said that he advocated the
total exclusion OF the Irish from the
imperial parliament, but, he added. he
would take 10 course that would tend
to wreck the bill.
Joseph Chamberlain, the Liberal
Unionist leader, charged Mr.. Glad
stone with deceiving the country and
with breaking his publicly expressed
pledge against the retention of the
power of the Irish members to discuss
all affairs of policy and to vote thereon.
The government, Mr.. Chamberlain de-
clared, was now unmasked, and he.
speaking in behalf OF the Liberal.
Unionists. challenged it to appear be-
fore the country on the issues raised.
Mr.. Chamberlain's remarks were gIeet-
ed with cheers by the opposition.

sexton Tuesday night at the sitting of

ceeded his authority. MI. Gladstone

opportunity that presented itself to
