AN ITEM FOR THE HUNGRY.

For some timo the collection of an
thropoid apes in the Geological garden,
was reduced by the death Of Sally an(
George to q single representative of the
order-a gibbon. The stock has within
the last day or two been recruited bv \
paT OF orang5, which occupy the cage
that used to lodge the celebrated and
much lamontod Sally. Unfortunately.
however, these two little beasts do not
appear to possess the same vigor of con-
stitutton which Sally enjoyed. One has
u distressing cough and the other looks
decidedly out Of sorts 1t is to be feared
that they win not long remain with us.
These anthropoid apes. which are al
ways among tho most interesting ex-
mbIts, are unfortunately the most diff
cut OF all animals to keep healthy
during captivity. There are not MANY
among the large number which the
Geological society have acquired during
the la&t few years that attained a re-
spectacle age. Even Sally was only 10

all the larger unthropoids live about as
long as we do in Il wild state. = London

BAD MEDICIN Il,

The course Of the monometallists in
congress would be amusing if it were
not so pitifuliy transparent. 1t is plain
TO anyone that repeal of the purchase
clause of the Sherman act would stop
the coinage of silver and confine its use
as money to the amount now in circula-
ton. This would leave the white metal
a simple article OF commerce with no
better prospect for place in our clrcula-
ton than the bare promise that it will be
taken up after the repeal OF the Sherman
act. The assumption of the gOldites
that majority can be hoodooed into
voting on this single proposition without
some provision for silver is presumption
upon human creGulity almost grotesque
In its impudence.
1t is the trick of sportsman, prepar-
ing his bait and lying in ambush for
game. The almost universal desire for
a repeal of the purchase clause is indeed
a tempting bait, but the friends of silver
will hardly venture within rifle shot of
it without the assurance that it is COM
pounded of equal parts of repeal and
bimetalic money. The transparency of
placing a lifelong advocate of the
double standard at the head of the COM
Glittee on finance, having arranged in
advance that he was to cham
pion the repeal first and
make his specious promises to
take up silver legislation afterward
viii deceive no one. 1t is worthy of note
here that this statesman furnishes the
material for this kind of service to a
most admirable degree. He has been on
all sides of all important issues before
congress during his thirty years career
as memher of that body. In truth the
entire program was made out by Presi-
dent Cleveland and mis- copartners in
Wall street and London. This speech
making, dust throwing and buidoziug is
simply playing before the footiights for
the sole and oHly purpose of demonetis-
ing sllvera and erecting the golden idol as
the only standard Of vaiue. Ii is the
move contemplate in the eyes Of the
masses because the game is being work.
ed by a mere handful of capitalists
whose wealth consists in cash. 1t is
plain that any commodity grows val
uaole IN proportion to its scarcity, but
our representatives in congress viii
kindly take the pill so nicely sugar
coated, on the bare promise of 4 silver
plum, while gold enjoys the fostering
care of daddy who holds the last
winning card-the veto power.

IT is ONLY WIND.

Everybody seems loaded with schemes
to alleviate the pain and to relieve the
situation. There are bond schemes, in
ternal improvement plans, additional
currency propositions, treasury and
clearing honse subterfuges and a hun
dred others. But all these can do
nothing more than to let things down
easy like. If the world could be stopped
from rolling over we would have per-
petual day, but as sure as the sun goes
down, neutralizing in night all colors.
so sure must all financial imitation and
fictitious values, begotten Of speculation,
in the fulness of time, settle back to the
rock Of liquidation. The corpora
ton properties of this country,
which represent a great per
cent of all its wealth, have been
watered and loaded WITH interest-bear-
ing obligations beyond their earning
powers; while realities and their appur-
tenances lave been inflated in price
double their rental value, to meet and
sustain which condition the volume of
currency has been swelled on one pre-
tence and another; but, with the world
holding to the idea of metallic stand
ards. swelling volume of currency nor
financial subterfuges will prove equal to
sustaining all these watered and inflated
values, which at last inevitably reach
the point of public distrust, then follows
the tumble, which, landing at the bot
tom, with its accumulated load, brushes,
grind5 and pulverizes all, everything
and every body. South America and
Australia each furnished very
recently startling proofs of the
truths we assert, as has all civil
cation since history began. America
with all its resources aud developing
wealth being no exception. Great wars
and the splitting OF rivers of blood have
relieved like stresses SO evolved of mans
cupidity, postponing settlement day for
years, as bloody war would scatter our.
own impending portentious clouds, but
in the end the water flows back to its
own level. So all of this talk being
daily got off down in Washington at the
expense and for the edification of the
people is but talk, worth not one cent on
the dollar what it cost the American
people. The newspapers of the country
had gone over and over every idea and
suggestion now being Numbered out in
the halls of congress. Any proposition
here, there or elsewhere, than one to
squeeze out the water and pay the fid
die, is but talk, is only wind.
a horse Is going to continue to be a
horse, farm farm, and railroad a
railroad, but the price Of each must be
fixed, not by speculative emergencies, or
by the sophistry of greed, but by their
relative cost and earning powers.

A Costly A assumption.

From the Emporia Republican.
There is a certain judge not "a 100
miles away who rather pr:deS himself on
his vast and varied Knowledge of law.
The other day he was compelled to
listen to case that had been appealed
from justice of the peace. The young
practitioner who appeared for the APP
pellant was long and tedious; he
brought in all the elementary textbooks,
and quoted the fundamental propo-
sitions of law. AT last the judge thaught
it was time to make an effort to hurry
him up. "Can't we assume" lie said
biandly, "that the court knows little
law itself p That's Tie very mistake
L made in the lower court" answered
the young man; Il don't want to let
iJ defeat Inc twice."
