The Prospect of Repeal Brighter

II begins TO look as If the Sherman sill
yer law would be Internationally re-
pealed. A few days ago the silverites
declared that the unconditional repeal of
the law was an impossibility. They adj
mitted that the House might vote for un-
conditional repeal, but insisted that they
had a majority in the Senate that would
never consent to anything less than the
free coinage of silver, either at the pres
emit ratio or an increased ratio. They are
not now so certain of their strength.
The senators are beginning to feel the
pressure Of public sentiment, and some of
those who were counted on to stand by
silver until free coinage bill was passed
are showing signs that they will vote for
unconditional repeal when that question
S squarely presented to them.
The course pursued by Senator Voor-
hees in announcing his purpose to support
the Presidents recommendation. although
he has been one of the strongest advo-
Gates Of free silver coinage, and the letter
of Secretary Carlisle, showing that it
would cost the government $4,000, 900 to
recoinits silver money at the ratio of 20
to have made a number of senators
doubt whether it would be advisable to
attempt free silver coinage at this
time. Indeed, there are no arguments in
favor of free silver coinage at the ex-
listing or an increased ratio
that are convincing. The silver
ties have none to offer that satisfy think
inr men that parity between gold and sill
yer currency could be maintained at the
ratio of 20 to l. or any other ratio while
the price of silver is undergoing such VIC
lent fluctuations.
The more the subject is discussed the
more clearly does it appear that the only
way that free silver coinage can be sue
cessfully undertaken is by international
| agreement, and that the surest means of
bringing about such an agreement is to
| repeal the Sherman silver law When
that law is repealed England will have to
give the question of bimetallism much
more serious consideration than ever be-
fore.
1t is not believed that the silver sena-
tors will resort to flibustering if they see
they are beaten. Such a course would be
| unpatriotic, and would subject them to
severe and deserved condemnation The
financial condition of the country is such
that unnecessary delay in providing relief
| legislation would be almost criminal. II
! the silver senator's see that the uncondi-
/ tioaal repeal of the Sherman law is in
eyitable they should yield promptly and
/ permit vote to be taken at the earliest
| possible moment. The Sherman silver
law has already cost the people hundreds
1 of millions of dollars. Those who would
needlessly increase this cost ought to be
retired from public life and relocated to
| obscurity'

A Youthful Traveller.

Mr.. Robert Martindale relates an unusual
small boy story which came under his obser-
walton while riding to this city on the Cleve-
land division of the Big -Four road, says the
indianapolis Journal While the train was
standing at Anderson a little fellow not over
years of age mounted it and took a seat
with such an air OF being in the right place
that the occurrence attracted no attention,
and the train started with him passenger.
He was so small that the conductor did not
notice him until the train stopped at PCndle-
The conductor then made some inquiry about
him, but could find nobody who laid claim
TO him.
Whose boy are your" asked the conductor,
approaching him.
Mes papas boy, " was the reply, with wide
open blue eyes.
Where do you lives" he then asked.
In Anderson was the answer.
Who is with yOu?"
Mes by m self"
Where do you want to go?" The conduc-
tor was getting worried. The answer was so
blurred IN baby talk that no one in the crowd
of passengers who had become interested
could make out whether the little fellow said
"Dunkirkn or "Dunreith." Neither could the
boy speak his destination plainly enough to
make it known.
But who is going to pay your fare?' asked
the conductor.
Me; here's the money" The youngster
hshed in his waist pocket and brought out a
cent, which he put into the conductors hand.
Well, my boy, said the latter, smiling at
the situation" i guess You will have TO go
home again. Your mamma will want you
cent You may keep It and pay the man on
the train going home
The boy was put on the first train for his
home and once at the station was safe.

Tho STATE Can Do Nothing.


Governor North,n, in response 20
Mayor McDmoughs request that Che
state establish camps for the detention of
refugees from Brunswick, says Il re
rrct % sar that have no such authority
We have uo laws governing such matters.
30 state bolrd of health, no appropria-
ti0n % cover even the smallest eXpeudi-
ture for such protection Of the lives of the
people of the state as the situation de-
mauds. ! am forced TO appeal 10 the gen
cral government i'm this emergency, and
earnestly ask that you take charge OF the
matter and take such measures
as in your judgment, are necessary
and advisable" Isn't this pitiful
admission for the executive Of great
state 10 have to make} Nobody doubts
that Gov Northeu would have been glad
10 do what Mayor McDouough requested
if he had had the power. But what
could he do, He has no money he can
use for protecting the people Of the state
from pestilence and no health officers
that he can command. If cholera
should come, for instance, every town
and county would be left to fight the
disease in accordance with the views Of
its own authorities And wouldn't there
be pretty condition of affairs! Shot
gun quarantines would bring the business
OF the whole state to an absolute stand
still. Reason would cease to reign and
the widest sort Of panic would prevail
The attention of the legislature has
more than once been called to the neces-
sity Of a state board of health, and an
appropriation 10 deal with just such
emergencies as the one that has arisen at
Brunswick. The wise legislators, how
ever, failed to recognize any such neces-
sity. If there should be an epidemic at
Brunswick, and the fever should become
scattered over the state, the amount that
the people would lose would be far greater
than the amount that would be required
for the needs of an efficient health board.
And, besides, the loss of life might be
very great.
The national government, through the
marine hospital service, has taken charge
at Brunswick, and it will establish the
detention camps that Mayor McDonough
called for. and the appeal for food that
Brunsw ick has sent out was addressed to
the national government and not TO the
state government. In view of the fact
that the people are referred to the
national government in time of danger
and distress it would not be surprising if
the Importance of the state should shrink
in their estimation Indeed, it IS a ques-
ton whether 1t would not be advisable
for the national government to take entire
charge of quarantine 1t can handle cpl
denies and manage quarantine to better
advantage than municipal or state boards
Of health Under one head quarantine
could be made effective without being
inhuman and without putting stop to
business.

The quarantine authorities at Phila-
delphia are in danger of becoming the
laughing stock of the country. The other
day the young man at quarantine, who
stands between Philadelphia and the
cholera, the fever and all the other dis
eases that may be imported, stopped
the great steamship British Prince for
examination. On board he found every
body in excellent health except one man
and a baby. The man had headache.
but, inasmuch as he was taking whisky
for it, the officer felt easy about him
With regard to the baby it was differ
ent. 1t was yelling at the top of its
voice, its pulse was high, its temperature
was something over 100 in the shade, and
its gums were congested. The officers
heart beat quick Here was trouble, and
he knew it. Philadelphia was looking
to him to do his duty, and do that duty
he would, though the heavens fall! The
ship was ordered into quarantine, the
yellow flag was hoisted, orders for fumi-
CATION were given, and word was sent to
the city for experts on contagion to come
down for consultation. They came. The
baby was still crying and the yellow flag
was still flying when they made the in
vestigation. 1t took them about two
minutes 10 reach this verdict: "Umph ::
teething!" The ship had by that time.

that, Charleston need not feel badly

Good Use of q Flag.

In Havana there was one evening q great
row In the streets, and a man was killed, says
the London Spectator. Every one ran away
except an Englishman, who did not see why
he should run off, but stopped to do what he
could for the wounded man. The city was
then, as it often was, under martial law, and
in few minutes party Of soldiers came up,
walked the Englishman of he was tried then
and there by sort of drum-head court

He managed to get the news conveyed to
the English consuls and at 745 O'Clock next
morning the consul appeared in his coach and
four, uniform, cooked hat and sword, all his
orders on, etc. The shooting party were
drawn out, and the prisoner was there, too
The consul walked up to the officer command
ing the party and demanded the life OF his
countryman
Very sorry" said the officer, "but I must
carry out my orders, and he showed the war
rant signed by the governor Well" said
the consul, "at least you'll allow me to shake
hands with him before he dies L can't re-
fuse that" was the reply. On which the con-

Mr.. Cooper of Florida s clearly an addition
to the House. In his maiden speech the other
day he showed great brightness and quick
ness as well as solid good judgment. Mr.
Livingston of Georgia thought to corner him
by asking why If the Sherman notes have
created a burden upon the treasury, they
We're at premiumin New York and at par in
London: Mr.. Cooper replied that money was
at a premium in New York because Of the
panic. The stringency locks it up, and 1t is
locked up because of the lack of confidence in
financial operations under the Sherman act, p"
and the treasury note is at par in London
because you can draw gold for il in America"
Discussing the value OF silver. he said: Just
before was leaving Florida an old friend Of
mine, who had lived for years on the Pacific
slope, came to me and said; L do not know
how you stand on silver; l have got one ad-
vantage oyer you with reference TO 1t. have

The system of registration Of foreigners

The law is intended to apply particularly
to foreign laborers who come into compe-

A Joke on the Lady Manager.

One of the alternate lady managers of the
fair invited party of friends to accompany
her to the international ball says the Chicago
Herald. They met by agreement in a room
in the womans building in Jackson Park
1t was 10 o'clock when the lady manager and
her guests appeared at the ballroom.
Tickets please, " bawled a young man at
the door.
i am Mrs. So and So" replied the man
ager with much gusto, and these are my
friends

Sylvester Pennoyer, governor of Ore
gon, is careless whether congress adopts
l6 to 1 or a 60 to ratio, or any ratio at
all, or whether it passes a free coinage
law or any other kind of coinage law; he
has devised remedy for the ills of "his
people" and is independent of congress.
The states of the west and south, says
PenHoyer, should mako the Mexican dol
lar full legal tender in payment of all
debts, as a necessary means of relief to
their people" How the western and
southern states are going to do any such
thing nobody but Pennoyer knows.

The democrats of Broome county, N. y,
are not quite sure whether they have
made a great stroke of political policy or
great blunder in nominating woman
for school commissioner. The situation
is this: The county is hopelessly repub-
lican. At therecent republican convention
a man was nominated for the commits
sionership. The last legislature gave
women the right to vote in all school cleo
tions. Ia the hope of turning impending
defeat into victory the democrats determ-
ined to make a bid for the SURFACES of
the women voters by putting up a woman
for the office. But there appears consid
cradle doubt that the women will vote for
her. Woman-like, they would prefer to
have man manage things.

Mind and Action.

Some starters maintain that loss
of sleep sets the nerves on edge and
makes the mind act more quickly.
In rare cases loss of sleep may be of
advantage to phlegmatic, natures,
but even for these it is at least kill
or cure remedy which no competent
trainer would countenanee. When
in one case it would succeed, in nine
others it would make the phlegmatic
mind duller than ever. The use of
stimulants should be avoided above
all things, for they weaken the
nerves, making the mind slow to
react. l once knew a starter of the
very greatest promise who ruined
his nerves by using strong coffee to
keep him awake for long continued
study and as mental stimulant be-
fore races. Another case in point
is that of John L. Sullivan, who,
though a man of extreme quickness
when in training, so deteriorated his
mind by the use Of stimulants that,
as the psychologists experiments
showed, he was, when out of train
ing, one of the slowest strikers ex
amined. Outing.
