for that party for the long and short terms

Popuisls made a very poor showing OF
strength.

A we'll known Congressman tells this on
President Cleveland. Last summer the
President and Col. Dan. Lamont were
fishing for bass in big lagoon not far
from Buzzard's Bay, using live frogs for
bait. The President had remained still for
several hours without results and had been
watching a big frog on a log across the la
COON whose strident notes occasionally shook
the trees. Finally the President said
Dan, look at that blank big frog over
there on the log Wonder if we couldn't
catch him :"
Colonel Dan. slowly adjusted his glasses
aud viewed the anphibious creature. Gro.

1t Is said thai an average waltz takes one
about three-quarters of mile. A square
dance makes you cover half mile. Twen-

it is a very moderate estimate to say that in

miles. This is what she does with her feet,
but at the same time how far does her tongue

a hundred miles, aud not a track in memory.

HANGING HIS OWN FATHER.
A Peculiar and Touching Scene Gal
lows.
From the Spokane Review.

From the Spokane Review.
1t was a strange meeting of father and son
the occasion of the hanging of old Bill Stehbins
for the murder of his second wife year before.
The murder was atrocious the people said, and
there were few chances of sympathy for the doom
cd uan among the morbidly curious stares OF the
little crowd that filed the Jail yard.
The sheriff deputies had attended to the de tails
The trap was set, and ready to be sprung and in
an instant send man into the great beyond. Tile
moose had been made carefully of the best hemp
rope, creased with tallow for that occasion. TIC
procession had moved up the steps to the plat
form
With business like dignity the sheriff, who had
been notified, stepped from his office, crossed the
court yard and mounted the scalfold with the
death warrant in his hand. He read the document
i'll a calm voice one would notice of a sheriTs
sale.
And now, sir" he said, turning to the condem
ed msn. "you at liberty to speak if there is
anything your mind"
Throughout his trial. III the dark hours alter hls
sentence through the last night of life. and while
viewing curousy from his cell the rays of the last
sunrise he would ever see on earth, the victim OF
the law had been stoicalIy sueE. Emotion had
never showed itself in his face. He had taken his
fate phosophically from the first making de-
given him an opportunity to before passing sent
| ence Few noticed it, but it seemed if Il tear
gIistened in his eye then. Addressing himself to
! the sheriff he said In suppressed tone:
Won't you shake hands, my boy, before go?'
The sheriff did not hear him. or if he did, no
could have told it. He still the buSinesslike
executive officer OF the county IN which he lived;

Then, with steady hand and answering coun-

SfLf Err AND LABOR.
The Question Ably Argued by Mr.. Osborn to
Atlanta Workm~n,

A large crowd gathered in front of the
arteslan well III Atlanta last Saturday
night to hear Mr.. j. s. Os-
born, the national organizer OF the
brotherhood of Painters and Decorators of
America. 1t was estimated that between
two and three thousand people We're pres
ent.
President White, of the Federation of
Trades, acted as the chairman of the meet
ing. and introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Osborn is a good talkcr and his speech
last night, which occupied an hour and q
close attention and was frequently inter
ruptcd with applause. His subject was
THE Relation of Silver to Labor
just as the price of silver decreases, said
the speaker in substance, the price of the
products of labor decreases In 1873, before
silver was demonetiZed, wheat was worth
S1.41 4 bushel and cotton 10 cents a
pound. The value of silver was $1.32 an
ounce. Last year silver was worth only
50 cents an ounce. AS result, cotton was
worth only cents a pound and wheat 60
cents bushel. BY the demonstration of
silver the price of four products has fallen
annually 81. 100000 while the annual
production of silver in the United States is
only $54 100000 dollars. The unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law will double all
of our debts. Decrease the price of the
products of labor and throw millions of
workingmen out of employment.
The gold product of the world is only
$1O5,O0O,0OO annually. Eighty million of
this is used in the arts and dentistry, leav-
ing only $25.OOO,OOO to be used money.
Half of the gold produced comes from the
silver mines. and by closing these YOU re-
duce the gold output to only $12.5OO, 900 as
the basis of the volume of money of the
world. The gold debt of the. world is S33-
900, 100000, and to pay this amount the
word has only S3,7OO,OOO,000. of this
debt the Rothschilds and the Bank of Eng
land own S2S. OOO,OOOOO0. Of the money
to pay it the Rothschilds and the Bank of
England own the entire amount And still
we are sending to Europe to ask them what
kind of money we want; how much we shall
have, and of what it shall be made. 1t is
time we should quit it. We need more of
such men as Benjamin Franklin, who was
in company with two gentlemen one day,
one being Frenchman and the other an
Englishman. The Englishman suggested
that each of them propose toast to their
respective countries and they requested him
to speak first. He arose and, in the voice
of a Briton bold, said: Here is to Great
Britain, the sun that gives light to all of

the nations of the world. The Frenchmeen EN-
arose and said: Here is to France, tn af
moon, whose magic rays move the tlue -; a.
all worlds" Then our Ben arose ana saiu.
'Here is to George Washington. me ,,osl nnd
of America, who commanded the sun any :,
moon to stand still. and they obeyed him.
That is what we should tel! them in regard
to &C our finances. If working men would
better their condition they will nave 70
take hold of the rcins of government; make
their own money. and quit trying, TO pa!
debts with borrowed money. They are
compellcd to act for they are idle TO the
amount of 100000. The president says
there are too many silver dollars and has
shut up shop in the midst of the distress
of the people and gone fishing. You mus ms,
strike with your ballot and boycott with
your vote. These are the weapons of ne"
