man, and for eight years United States
minister to Portugal, died at his resi-

largest part of half century. He was
born of Irish parentage in Charleston, s.
c., and coming north was connected with

twenty years Politically he was a
whig and opposed to the war, which fact

one reason why silver is cheap Is tho
vast stocks OF 30 accumulated in the treas
urv vaults. 10 is a menace 20 the market.
70 is regarded as certain that it viii be
thrown upon the market at some time
and 81 is having a depressing effect IN an
riripation Of that time.
The silverites have been wrong in all
their theories about silver, They said
the Bland act would cause the price Of
silver 10 increase. They were mistaken.
They then said the Sherman silver pur-
chase act would put silver on a parity
with gold Again they were mistaken.
Now they say the only thing needed to
make a silver dollar the equal Of a gold
dollar iueverv respect is the free coinage
Of silver If this last demand was ac-
ceded to they would find themselves again
mistaken. The price of silver cannot be
controlled by legislation 1t is fixed by
economic laws, and the legislation should
be in harmony with those laws and not
contrary to them.
Another cause for the low price of
silver, and the main cause, is the i'm
mense production at a comparatively
small cost The increased and cheaper
production is due largely to improved and
labor-saving machinery More silver is
produced than is demanded by the con
sumption. When the gold mines Of Cali
fornia and Australia were at the hight of
their productiveness silver was at a pre-
MUM But that condition of affairs did
not last long As the production of gold
decreased the two metals came close to-
gether again
The first thing for congress to do when
it meets in extra session is to repeal the
silver purchase act. When that is done
it will be time enough to consider what
shall be done with silver

The Agent was "up To- SNUFF. ;,

Judge D. w. Shackelford who has the
reputation of generally being able to hold his
own, and to take care of himself under ordi-
nary circumstances met a little more than
his equal few months ago, in the person of
an enterprising life insurance agent writes
Col L. V. stephens in the Boonville Adver-
tiser. The agent had learned that the Judge
was without life insurance and he determined
to catch him" An introduction was
secured, which was followed by frequent
accidental meetings and a very conf
dental relation was growing between them
when one fine morning the agent pulled out of
his pocket a.little book of tables; from which
he read to the judge some of the beautiful ad-
VantageS accrutng from a 10000, five year
tOntine policy. The judge nobly stood him off
then, and for about thirty days thereafter
when he concluded that he had to do some
thing-take out the policy or give up his lob
and leave the town-or the agent would
worry the life that remained out Of him So
he devised a new scheme and remarked to the
agent one day:
Mr.. L, I feel that have treated YOU
improperly, and entertaining, as I do, the
highest regard for you, want to tell you why
/ nave never taken out a policy in the COM
pany you represent. Several months ago
applied for life insurance in one of the old
line companies. of course submitted to an
examination by physician when IL was dis
covered that l was suffering with a serious
complication Of liver, kidney and heart
troubles / knew that was In a dangerous
condition but l had no idea my end was so
near until the doctor made his report. 1 am
therefore deprived of all the benefit of life
insurance. None of the companies will touch
my risk. OF course you will notmention this
to any one; especially would my family be
distressed to know of IT. 't...
The agent listened attenively and hardly
had the words fallen from the Judges lips be-
fore he replied:
"Well, want to say to you that I have here
in my pocket a mixture of my own which was
never known to fan in a single case of liver or
kidney derangement. I will give YOU one hot
tie for 81 q three BOTTLES aFt
taking the second bottle, you are not wholly
restored, l will give you the medicine for
nothing, if, provided You are cured (and 1
guarantee a sure cure for that or any other
trouble) YOU give me $4,000 policy. l will
he willing to let the same doctor examine YOU
at the end of that time who examined YOU
before. Now. ain this fair proposition
the judge took the medicine but TO this
day has never touched a drop of it,

Tho tiol,s expressed bs HouolulG r1r
. respondents uI NcU York pap.rs as to thc
ftue.s of Minister B.omt for handling
thc Hawaiian question are about as wide
apart as s, is possible for them 90 Doe.
Those ~ them who favor rhe annexation
of Hawaii TO this country regard him as
failure while those who are against au-
nczatiou speak of him as being par,icu-
larly well qualincd for the discharge Of
the difficult and delicate duties OF his
pos ton The correspondent of the New
York sun SAYS that be has shown "him-
self thus far 10 be man of no iudepcnd-
euce Of action" He is careful. says the
correspondent, 80 the point of timiditv.
slow and uncertain in reaching conclu-
sions, sensitive and painfully SOLICITORS
that all he does shall meet the
approval Of his American comtrymen.
On the other hand, the Herald's CORE
spondent speaks Of him in terms of praise,
and regards him as particularly well
qualified for the work he has in hand.
The truth, doubtless, is that neither of
the correspondents is in a position to
Judge Mr.. Blont fairly. One regards
him as being against the side represented
by his paper and, therefore, takes the
view that he is not the proper man to
handle the Hawaiian matter. The other
is satisfied that he is on the side of the
question his paper advocates, and, hence,
believes that he is the right man for the
place. II is apparent that the view of
neither of these correspondents is worth
much. Neither view is an independent
one. Indeed, it is doubtful if either cor
respondent has ever taken the trouble to
satisfy himself whether Mr. Blount
should be condemned or upheld.
The administration seems to be salts
fed with Mr.. Blount, and the reason is,
doubtless, that it knows exactly what he
is doing and what he has accomplished.
1t knows what policy Mr.. Blount is ex-
pected to carry out and what difficulties
he is encountering.
That Mr. Blount is a very careful man
there is no doubt and it is necessary that
he should be careful. The administra-
ton cannot afford to make a mistake in
this Hawaiian matter. 1t would be folly
for Mr.. Blount to rush ahead as if he
knew it all, as the Harrison administra-
ton did, because he might find when too
late that he had made great mistake.
The correspondents do not know what
he has accomplished nor what the ad-
ministration purposes to do. What they
say of Mr.. Blount is not valuable They
hear reports that Mr.. Blount has decided
to this or that thing, and without wait
ing TO find out whether or not the reports
are true, they form their opinions as to
his fitness for the mission he has under
taken
Mr.. Blount can be depended upon to do
what is about right When he gets what
information he wantshe will cas- aggres-
sive as it will be necessary for him to be
to accomplish the object this government
has in view

Illuminating the Human Body.

While mechanical scientists have made
wonderful progress in the adaptation of
electricity to the hewing of wood and
drawing of water, so to speak, their dis
coveries and applications have not been
more remarkable than those of
the medical scientists. At a recent
meeting of the chronological section
Of the Academy of Medicine in New York,
some of the latest applications of cleo
tricity to medical science were dem
onstrated. And the demonstrations were
little short of a miraculous exhibition.
With small pea-shaped lamps, connected
with storage batteries, the demonstra-
tors We're able to turn a human being
into what might be termed an animated
lantern.
One apparatus, called "head illumin-
ator," consists of a glass globe about the
size of grape and contains a 3-candle-
power incandescent lamp. In showing it's
use, small boy was called from the
audience and the lamp inserted in his
mouth, 1.-THE lights of the meeting hall
were turned down and the storage battery
turned on. The light in the boys mouth
shone out through his checks, detailing
every vein, line or imperfection in the
skin and gums in the mouth" Had there
been bullet in his check, it could have
been at once located, without probing or
unnecessary cutting. BY means of the
illuminator physician 'oan read certain
conditions of the head which could not
otherwise be learned, except with the aid
of the llnife''
Another appliance of the same general
character, but differently fashioned. is
for the examination of eye and nose.
placed in the corner of the eye, the light
shines up through the cavity in the
frontal bone Just over the eyebrow. Ca
tarrhal diseases are thus located"
a third apparatus is called a search
light" II is for throat diseases, and with
it the physician can locate diseased mem
brane almost as soon as the lamp is inserted
and the current turned on. But perhaps
the most wonderful of all the appliances
is a search light for stomachic explora-
ton. 1t is provided with lenses and re-
Electors, and is to be literally swallowed
by the patient. A flexible rubber tube

lamp in the patients stomach. The light
from the lamp in the stomach "shines
through, 50 that diseased organism can be
plainly read from the outside The cir
cUlation is visible and an abnormal devel-
opment stands out like a mole on per
sons cheek"
! Notwithstanding these wonders. the
physicians say they have only begun the
development of electricity in medicine,
and hope to make even greater discov-
cries.
