THE ENEMY HESITiTES.


few days have given fatal reverse to
the plans of the gold bugs.
They have lied Systematically and per-
sistently about the causes of the panic,
and now their lies come back, perch on
their own bank ratings, and mock them.
Silver was de'hroned in 1873 to make
gold rule the world. Its rule has come,
and universal ruin stalks abroad. First
Australia went all to pieces-a country
with single gold standard of the true
British pattern. Thence the wave Of
ruin swept around the globe, visiting
with its devastation even this fair land,
an empire which might dictate terms on
all questions of money and commerce to
the world.
Our western states were stricken as
with palsy when the mines and smelt-
ers closed down, and the frenzied gold
maniacs howlcd "Ah, ha! ! told you
so" They seemed to gloat over our
misfortunes. They and their hired or
gans repeated with glee the sickening lie
about the go cent dollar" and the rest.
We heard them with scorn and only said,
Let them wait awhile" The wave
swept on. One by one the factories were
closed throughout the east and every
hand of industry was paralyzed. Runs
were begun on the banks and by the
time the extra session OF congress coz
vened the gold bugs were literally
screaming for help.
Their bank reserves have almost van
ished and they are not able to supply
currency for the ordinary needs of com
merce Their villainy has come home to
roost and today they would gladly pay
from SO up by way of premium on $1,000
lots of silver dollars. In their extremity
they have issued over $40,00O000 of
clearing house certificates t, take the
place of the currency which is needed
and does not exist, and the cry goes up
that currency cannot be had for love or
money.
This climax is reached Just as the sill
yer men are maturing their plans and
the situation is something like this: In
New York the condition Of affairs grows
worse each day, and unless relief is
forthcoming no man can tell where the
trouble will end. They still affect to
believe that the Sherman law is the rri-
tating cause, despite preceding lessons
rest Of the world, and demand with
damned eifrontery the repeal of the
Sherman law without conditions.
Like wall of adamant stand the sill
yer men defying them, and declaring
that the Sherman law shall never be re-
pealed without substitute which gives
the virtual free coinage Of silver.
New GorR's needs grow more pressing
with each hour Lombard street is pow
erless to relieve or help her, and the mo.
ment approaches when Il cry will go ul
from every gold bug throat in Wall
street, Give those silver !unatics any
thing they want rather than continue
this strain any longer
From this we draw the conclusion that
the passage Of d free silver law within
the next sixty days Is a practical Ger
tainty. If by any mischance this solu
ton should fail, it is hard to see how the
country can obtain apy relief from the
extra session.
1t is race Of the people with the
plutocrats; ID struggle Of right against
wrong; contest of justice against Op
preston. And we are giving odds thai
the people will win i'll the end.

TnIS well-merited good word has been
said for the comptroller of the currency
by the Helena independent: Critics
who ridiculed the appointment of Mr..
Eckels because he was young man
from a small town IN Illinois have taken
to the woods. Under very trying condi-
tions he has proven himself thoroughly
fitted for the comptrolership of the cur.
rency. In all instances he has shown
the utmost leniency and the greatest
Willingness to assist closed banks 10 re-
opening their doors. This is, of course,
the right policy, but comptroller pos
sessed of less tact and judgment could
easily have made the situation far more
embarrassing.

portion of the platform adopted is as
follows: "The financial situation is the

Like GiyantIc Barrel.

For many years Heidelberg universe
ty has had the honor Of owning the lar
gest barrel or "tun," as they call it, in
the world. They have had the honor
although it does not really belong to
them, for Arizona has a barrel that
makes theirs fade into iasignificance
The one at Heidelberg will not hold
liquid neither will the one in Arizona
In this they are the same, but are differ
ent in many other ways. Arizonas bar
rel is the work of nature, and it is ON a
high peak of mountain, about five miles
from Ayuas Calientas, which is in the
Catalina mountains, about is miles from
railroad The barrel is one of those
peculiar rock formations and is about
200 feet high, aud the top of it is at least
1000 feet above the valley.
1t can be seen for miles before the
traveller gets to it, and its appearance is
most deceiving. 1t requires no effort of
the imagination to see the large utensil
of Bacchus perched on its peak with a
glass under faucet as if ready to be
filled A large tissure in certain spot
forms bunghole. 1t does not look like
barrel unless seen from the plain: on
all other sides it is simply rugged
rock, 1t is soft granite formation Of
volcanic origin and is crumbling to
pieces all the time. 1t is so soft that
half dozen men with picks could knock
it to pieces in few days. Fran

A DAYS rrogramme For Literary Men.

The London Hospital thinks the after
noon nap quite unnecessary and pre-
scribes this regimen for literary workers:
They should never go for more than
eight hours day. Early rising would
be good for most of them. A cup of cof-
fee and a piece Of toast at half past
might be followed by an hours work
from Ito s. The whole hour between
and should be devoted to thorough
" good breakfast and short walk.
Work from 8 to 10. Half an hour should
then be spent in gentle sanntering in the
fresh air, and a light lunch should follow
say chop and bread, with a modicum
of light pudding, accompanied by .
small glass of lager beer. From to 2
pipe and a saunter, and at 2 cup Of
black coffee. From to work. At A q
cup of afternoon tea and rest until 5.
From to or half past work, and at
half past the real labors of the day
should be over and completed. At "a
good, well cooked, appetizing, slowly
eaten dinner, followed by one cup OF
black coffee, but no tea. At quarter
to II a small cup of cocoa and one OF
two pieces of toast. At II bed, and
sleep until 6 or $50. The brain worker
should not work more than five days "a
week in this fashion. He should have
two days of leisure in the week. The
first of these should be devoted to brisk
and thoroughly fatiguing exercise in the
open air, and the second to lolling, loung-
ing, a little light reading and the like.

Woman Who Proved to He of Value.
Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant. at the
Congress in Chicago, told an amusing in
cident illustrating tho advantage there
may sometimes DO in having woman
serve on public boards, In England wo-
men are often elected poor law guardi-
ans. In one town the board of guardi-
ans were highly conservative and were
opposed to women on the board, one
member Directing especially on the
ground thai women We're incapable of
dealing with accounts. Nevertheless a
woman was elected, and they were OBJ
liged to serve with her. At the next
meeting where accounts We're to be sub
mitted to the board the lady, in glanc-
ing over the paper, said Here is a
charge of "a lis. Sd, about SEQ for soup
tureen. What does that meang"
She had to explain to them that no
body but millionaire would be likely
to pay such price for soup tureen,
The gentleman who had declared women
unable TO understand accounts said in
much disgust, How can you expect me
to understand these housekeeping de-
tailsy She answered quietly; II don't
expect you to understand them. But
since you do not, is II not worth while to
have some one ON the board who does?'
1t turned ont that the guardians had
been Systematically overcharged for the
household supplies furnished, and the adj.
dition Of that one little woman to the
board stopped great leakage.

The Crab and the Sea Anemone.

Some crustaceans hide their shells I'M
der another seq creature, apparently to
protect themselves. A certain hermit
crab found in the Mediterranean sea is
fond Of a sea ane11one, and it is unusual
to find a shell which hermit has chosen
for his house unprotected by his anemone
friend. A gentleman relates that he
captured and put in a large aquarium
one of these saa slnemones on a shell in
which was hermit crab who seemed al
ready to have outgrown his house.
CAL went well for awhile, he writes,
"Then the hermit grew SO large that he
had to leave his shell and abandon his
friend. An hour after the hermit left
his old shell | looked at the aquarium
again and was surprised to find the sea
anenone on top of the new shell which
the hermit crab had adopted as his dwell
ing. They both seemed very well salts
fed.
"How had the anemone come there?
soon found out | cautiously lifted the
shell to the SURFACE of the water and let
the ancmone fall to the bottom of the
aquarium. Then put the shell down
hear it.
Hardly had the crustacean touched
bottom before he seized the anemone
with one claw, then with two, and saw
at once what he intended to do.
"With great care he went to work to
replace the anemone on the shell. He
found the anemone upside down, and he
took great pains to set it upright again
Then he grasped it firmly with two
claws and raised it and placed it on the
she'll For IL minutes he remained per-
fectly motionless, pressing it firmly on
to the shell all the time. Then he very
cautiously took away first one claw and
then the other.
II was pleased to see that when he
moved the sea anemone remained in
place as firmly fixed as the energetic
little crab could wish"
