Free silver.


Whatever may be the demands of
the great mass Of the people they
cannot win but one point at a time,
then why not be practical and bend
all their energies in behalf of q ques-
ton which is more generally under
stood and discussed than my of the
great questions which are being sgi-
tatsd by the Populists. All honest
people will admit that the demoneti-
zation of silver in 1873 was the great
est Legislative fraud ever inflicted up
on this country. If the great body Of
industrial people will stand together
they can, through public opinion,
force Congress 10 restore silver 10 the
place 1t occupied for over eighty
years, up to the time it was demone-
tjzed through the influence Of Eng
lish gold. Nothing short of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver on an
equality with gold, ratio 16 to I, will
satisfy the great majority of the peo-
pie Of these United Ststes.-National

A party of newspaper men and law

graphical errors, when q veteran New
York attorney told of n peculiar mis-
take that had come under his notice,
made by a telegraph operator.
II was q young man at that time"
said the lawyer, and had n small office
across the hall from a successful attor.

One day I was sitting in my Office with
my legs on the table and chair tilted
back, waiting for clients and dreaming
OF a sweet girl known to me as Ella,
who had been the sweetheart of my col
lege days the year before. 1 was
startled from my reverie by a boy with
a message directed to me. 1t was from
my friend across the way and dated Chi
cago, but its contents made my brain
whirl. With telcgraphic brevity it said:
ELLA is sweet. Don't delay. Take it
up and try it, I was just considering
the advisability of n proposal, and my

first impressions were that / was either
asleep or the Windy City had driven
my friend insane. But there was the
messenger boy, SO I read the telegram
upside down, sideways, and everyway I
could see 1t, and the light finally
dawned on me-. 1 took up q court calen-

THIS r or OURS.
Its Age According to tho ResearcheA OF
GeoloRiata.

It's Axe According to the ReseArchoA OF
Biologists.
Biologists have ascertained that the
rate at which erosion takes place can
be measured; by applying their scale to
the s~cdimentary rocks they have formed
a hypothesis as to the time which has
elapsed since erosion began.
The stratified rocks attain an average
thickness of 100, 900 feet. The material
of which they consist was all washed
down from high planes, deposited and
left to stratify. BY the inspection of
river banks it is found that in places
the surface of the land which has been
carried down as sediment in rivers has
been reduced ut the rate of a foot in
80 years, while in other places. where
the land was more stubborn or less
flexible, it had taken $500 years to
lower the surface one foot. The de-
post must be equal to the denudation.
We find that while some of the sedi-
mentary rocks have grown n foot in $50
years others have taken $500 years to
rise that height. Thus the period of
time that was required to build up 1OO,-
600 feet of sedimentary rock has varied
according to locality from rs, 1000, 900
to CSC, O00, 900 years. 1t follows that the
active work of creation lasted for a
cycle intermediate between these two
figures. The cycle varied with endless
succession Of periods of disturbance by
volcanic force and glacial action, and
the frequent submersion Of dry land,
alternating with the emerging of CONT
nents out of the seas. These may have
retarded the growth of sedimentary
rocks, but they cannot have accelerated
it.
A study of fossils teaches the steady
uniformity with which the work of Gre
alton proceeded. Since man began to
observe there has been no change in the
forms of animal and vegetable life. A few
species have disappeared-not one new
species has been evolved. Not only do
we find the fauna and fora of ancient
Egypt as depicted on monuments which
are probably 5000 or 10, 1000 years old
Identical with those which are found in
that country to-day, but shells which
inhabited u seas before the ice age
and grew in an ocean whose bed overlay
the Rocky mountains IRE precisely the
sam@ species that arc found in the bay
of M.,,terey and the waters of the
Chesapeake. It is evident hat there
las been no essential change in the con-
ditions of life since these animals and
these vegetables we've first created, yet
how vast the shortest period which we
can assign to the gap that divides us
from that remote epochI
