\ Question With Two Sides.

The speech of the Hon A. J. Bal
four, the British Conservative leader
in London yesterday, III favor of a
double monetary standard, invites
thoughtful aud serious attention.
He favors an international agree
ment fixing a ratio of value between
gold and silver. 1t is his relief that
a gold standard will not satisfy de-
mands and necessities of commerce,
that double standard alone will
prevent dangerous oscillations III
trade, and he took pains to deny
that the advocates of this theory
aimed at an Initiation of the currency.
This opinion, coming from SO able
aud conservative II source, can
scarcely fail to strengthen the cause

ChOked by the Executioner

Vienna, Aug. "A revolving scene
occurred Saturday at an execution
that took place at Krems, a town SS
miles northwest of Vienna. A en-
vict named B,uner, who vas serving
IA term Of imprisonment ut krems,
attacked a warden in the prison there
and killed him. Bruner was tiled
on a charge of murder, convicted
and sentenced to death. Capital
punishment in Austria consists of
hanging not on scaffold, but OF a
post, at the top of which holds a
moose. The usual formasities were
gone through with. and b uner was
hanging with his feet but short
distance from the ground. He strug
gled and gasped and it was evident
that something was wrong with the
arrangement of the moose. Seve,a1
minutes elapsed, and Bruner was
still alive and no one could tell when
death would relieve him of his suf
fering. Finally the executioner took
matters literally into his hands, anc
mounting ladder at the back of Il I
post, he placed one hand oyer tL'
mouth of the struggling man ant
with the other choked him until life
was extinct.

There was luuch I'D blood display

there were many bitter scenes enact

liam Walker, a prosperous farmer
living eight miles southeast of this
place was horribly mutilated while
plowing yesterday by team run
ming away with sulky plow. A
cloud of dust in the field and the ap-
pearance of the detached and fright
ened team at the barn, led to an in
vestigation by the hired man, who
found Mr.. Walkers body fastened
so firmly into the parts of the plow
that it was with great difficulty re-
moved. He had been dragged in
that position ninety rods, and was
| almost lifeless. One ear was cut of
one eye gouged out of it's socket,
and the other severely injured. The
flesh was torn from one arm leaving
bare the bone. The body and head
were covered with bruises and cuts
His many and severe wounds are al

substitute which will give to silver
its proper value as circulating me-
dium.
This matter has been before the
American people for some months in
such a way as to compel earnest
study. It's discussion in conventions
and in the public press has had u
tendency to elicit vast access OF
information i'll regard to the claims
OF silver rs money. 1t is not be.
lieved that this general aud search.
Jag examination of the subject has
increased the sentiment in favor of a
single standard Silver has been
used as money since the earliest
dawn of history, and it ia also true
that where the two metals have been
employed the cheaper has always
had the larger circulation. 1t is
questionable wheter this valuable
and time honored metal can be dis
honored as factor in our currency
without serious embarrassment to
trade 1t would seem, as between
the narrow policy of the monome-
tallists and the vagaries of the ultra
slverites, that it ought to be possi-
BILE for Congress to devise some fea-
sible plan for circulating silver with
gold an maintaining It on a parity
with the more precious metal. Many
propositions looking to this solution
OF the matter have been suggested
The Windhm scheme of buying sill
yer at the treasury at the market
price, whatever that may be, and
issuing certificates i'll payment seems
to be regarded with more or less
favor, as obviating the inconvenience
of carrying around silver coin with
an Intrinsic value equal to its face,
aud as adjusting itself to the fuctu-
atoms in the price of that metal :
The idea of silver notes or certiti-
Gates based on a ratio representing
the difference in the cost of produc-
. ton between gold and silver appears
to be growing in popularity. and
will have its advocates in Congress
It is obvious, of course, that the

Dance without a Smile.

They have singular kind Of dance
conducted on the greens of country vii
lagos in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, knot of young men here, knot
of maidens there, each sex by itself, and
silent as a crowd of mutes. A piper
breaks into a tune, q youth pulls off his
cap and challenges his girl with wave
and bow. If the girl is willing, she
waves her handkerchief in token Of as
sent. The youth advances, takes cor
ner of the handkerchief in his hand and
leads his lassie round and round.
No word is spoken, and no laugh i
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids the girl moves heavily by herself,
going round and round, and never al
lowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure, and the
prize Of merit in this s'circling," as the
dance is called, is given by spectators to
the lassie who in all that summer revelry
has never spoken and never smiled
