A Sleeper.

a sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeper
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the
sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps.
Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in
the sleeper the sleeper carries the
sleeper over the sleeper under the
sleeper until the sleeper which carries
the sleeper jumps the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper, by
striking the sleeper under the sleeper,
on the sleeper, and there is no longer
any sleeper sleeping in the sleeper. -

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy lie moro, with
less expenditure, by moro promptly
adapting the worlds best prod~cts to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas,
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effcctually cleansing the system,
dispclling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free flom
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

SENATORIAL REFORM.

In connection with the favorable re.
port by the house committee of tn @
proposition to elect United States sena-
tors by direct popular vote 1t is peril
nent to suggest that some better means
than any now in vogue be employed to
make the popular vote an honest vote.
The congress which passed an act re-
pealing federal supervision Of federal
elections, thus tacitly inviting the
FRAUDULENT elements to do their worst,
is hardly the congress to propose a pop.
ular election of senators and then ex-
pect the reputable citizenship Of the
northern states to fall heartily in with
the scheme. Genuine electoral reform
does not flow from such source.
There is another question of equity
in connection with this proposition to
change the method of electing sena-
tors. II is one which even radical re-
formers do not urge with much seri =
business, and yet it is one Of growing
Importance. Occasionally some east
ern newspaper or speaker calls fit

ONLY A PRETTY DREAM.

Every on~ knows" writes our
friend Dr. ID. b, Strong, that the
market value Of silver is less than its
coin value. But the silver dollar has
q value as a medium of exchange-ita
currency value, in ,fine-which is equal
to tho currency valno OF any other dol
lar 1t will buy just as much flour
and sugar as agold dollar will huy
As long, then. as no discount exists on
IL in actual commercial relations, for
which tho dollar is made and used, to
maintain that as q circulating medium
it is below par is to confuse It's inTrin-
sic value with its currency value, or
lis value ~ n circulating medium, And
to do this is simply to work in favor of
the prejudice Of tho gold power, to the
exclusion Of silver as money metal. "
This, by way OF answer to TIE TRlB-
UNE's objections to the Bland bill intll
tiou.
We suspect that our esteemed cor
respondent here admits rather moro
than he intended to admit. If there is
any clear Inference from his carefully
drawn distinction between "intrinsic
value" and currency 7alue" it is that
currency value, or in other words,
tine legal stamp Of the government, is
the ruling valae, But il the govern
ment stamp can make 43 cents worth
otsilyer perform all the trade functions
that are performed for instance, by
100 cents worth Of gold, why use gold
at all? Why waste so much precious
intrinsic value when the mere stamp of
government will create all the value
needed in financial operations? Our
friends rule ought to work both ways
II it be urged AZ measure Of protec-
tion against the gold power it ought
also to deliver ia, in logic, if not in
fact, from the equally obnoxious
Vaccinations OF the silver power, and
put us finally upon the ground floor of
fiat currency Of unlimited paper and
ink.
1t is one Of the recurring fallacies
inherited from greenback days that
currency value is a thing altogether
independent of intrinsic value. We
readily recall hearing an earnest green
back friend. gallant Colonel Henry Clay
Bradsby, once asslil our juvenile ears
with the sophistry that brick of sand
and mortar, stamped by the govern
m9nt with tho words "One dollar"
would be every whit as valuable for ali
practical purposes as an equally large
brick Of pure gold, bearing the identi.
cal impress. The colonel was sincere
in what he said and no doubt to prove
it, would, had opportunity offered,
chesrfuliy have rejected the gold brick
in favor Of the cube of dirt But the
colonel was an enthusiast. Enthusi-
asts do not control the world of com
merce, In the practical ranks of cold
and calculating business endsavor no
such cheerful martYrlOm is encount-
cred these prosaic days. Money must
have intrinsic as we'll as fiat value or it
will be contemptuously rejected; and
the very fact that treasury notes based
originally on silver bullion had to bs
redeemed by the secretary of The treas
ury in hard dollars of glittering gold
proves that the fat craze must he rele-
gated to tho limbo OF pretty dreams

WHEELS 81;
w and Wheelmen

Tho Scranton Bicycle club is making
arrangements to hold race meet ut
the Driving park on July a. The
question OF holding n meet on the
Fourth has bGen under deliberntion
for some time, and on Friday night
the committee met aud decided on
local meet. In class B, or makars'
amateur clasG. the entries will be opsn
to wheelmen racing for manufacturers
from all over the United States, and it
is expected, in fact assured, that under
the class b several of the cracks will
compete. Singer and Tyler, who will
race rs the Union cycle team this ysSr,
will in all probability be present, and
IL Willie Winde, who formerly mated
Tyler on the Union team, decides to do
any racing this season, he will also be
here. All three OF these men are we'll
pleased with tho treatment received by
them at tho hands of the Scranton
wheelmen and will undoubtedly grasp
the opportunity Of visiting Scranton
again.
Tho latest innovations in the bicycle
line are the wooden rims. Their chief
points Of merit lie in lightness aud
strength, while they give n quite smart
effect to the whole wheel. Inst year
they were in use quite extensively by
racing men in connection with the
Palmer tire and proved speedy This
year the manufacturers furnish WOO len
or steel rims, whichever the buyer de-
sires.

In the pure amateur or class A, the
entries are limited to wheelmeu living
within a radius Of 200 miles This will
give local wheelmen an opportunity to
enter the class A races without being

follow the track all season. The meet
is principally held for the benefit of
the local wheelmen, and to awaken
