The Story In u Nutshell

A correspondent asks the San Fran
CISCO Lining and Scienti tic Press ado
you think it is fair to give the silver
mine owners increased prices for their
silver by meats of free coinage?"
To this the Press, which is a strict
ly 40 - irisln paper re pies:
A bfief question fairly put. We
shall try to answer it briefly and
squarly. 1t would not be fair to in
creIse ohe value OF silver in the in.
ter 'sts OF the mine owners alone in
de ID It Would be rank Injustice. But
the nine owners inter ests in the mat.
Ter are ,ntinitiesimal when compared to
those 0f the people at large.
$50 far as the exchange value of
the r Silver is concerned the mine own.
ers nave lost nothing whatever by the
de non citation Of the white metal.
An QUA e Of silver would buy bush.
ell Of wheat in 1873; it would buy a
bushel OF wheat now-perhaps a
little more; it would buy sixteen yards
OF calico in 1873; it would buy six
teen yards Of calico now--and 80 on
thurogh the list. The demonetiza ton
OF silver has effected the mine owners
precisely as it has affected other pro.
ducers-no more no less. They have to
give for gold dollar twi e us much
OF the product Of their capital and
labor-which is silver bullion. as they
gave in 1873; but the gold dollar will
not pay cents more debt now than
1t di twenty years ago. That is the
whole story in a nutshell.

PEOPLE WE HEAR ABOUT.
William Ewart Gladstone, England S
Grand Old Man, A Real Demo
cratic Statesman;

N. Y. Voice.
The English general elections OF
1892 resulted in subtantial Liberal VIC
tory and on Aug, II of that year Queen
Victoria summoned Mr.. Gladstone to
be premier for the fourth time.
The Hon. William Ewert Gladstone,
now in his 18th year (though not sue
cessively) as Prime Minister OF the
British Empire, was born in Liverpool,
Dec. 80, 1909. He received his educa-
ton at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford,
and while quite a young man evlnced
q virility and independence Of thought
which he displayed all through his life,
taking an active part, as he has
in all the intellectual and literary con-
troversies OF the century.
His career as public man began with
his election to the House of Commons
In 1882 at the age OF %.
He is the only man who has been
Prime Minister of Great Britain four
times, he having been called to that po-
sition in 1868, in 1880, in 1886, and in
1892.
Mr.. Gladstone is a fine old gentle
man of the old school," as hale and
hearty at his advanced age as many
man of forty This is due partly to his
naturally rugged constitution, but
principally to his simple and abstem-
ious life.
In his latest letter to the New York
Tribune, Mr.. Smalley describes a re-
cent incident in Mr. Gladstone's life,
which is characteristic of the man and
illustrative of the splendid force that is
in him. Before Mr.. Gladstone left for
Southern Europe for his health, he
called on DIR. Granger, who has succeed
ed Sir Andrew Clark as the Premler's
physician, and who is also an oculist.
He told Mr.. Gladstone that cataract
had obliterated the sight of one eye
and that another cataract had begun to
form on the other. The Prime Minis
ter reflected a moment, and said: II
wish YOU to remove the cataract at
once" The physician replied that 1t
was not vet far enough advanced for an
operation. "You do not understand
me-" answered the Premier cit is the
old cataract l wish removed. 1t that
is out Of the way, shall still have one
good eve when the new cataract i'm
pairs the sight Of the other" AS
the physician still hesitated, Mr.. Glad
stone continued "You still seem not
to understand me- | want you to per-
form the operation here and now
while l am sitting in this chair"
"But it might not not be successful"
said DR.. Granger. "That is the risk l
accept" was the instant reply
We nave not seen a copy of the dear
old book for 10 these many years, but
sentimental regard for it still fingers,
and we hope the present effort to expel
it from North Carolina schools will be
as flat failure as was that of good old
Parson Purefoy.

The Old Blue-Bock.
DanviHe Register.

Danville Register.
The Charlotte Observer enters its
protest against the expulsion from the
country schoOl-rooms of North Carroll
ma of the old Webster's blue-back ele-
mentary spelling book and says it would
like to know what is to become Of pros
peritv if we are to abolish alb ab, ba-
ker, incomprehensibility and the story
about the lawyer and the OK that was
gored
If allowed say in the matter, we
would add our feeble voice to the
Observers loud and righteous protest.
A third of a century ago or more we
njoyed the proud distinction of being
the leader of a juvenile rebellion raised
in North Carolina country school
house that was erected on stills in the
classic hills of Warren county and
which was known by the high sound
ing name of Cedar Hill Academy. It
was real rebellion, and all about that
old blue back-speller. Good old Par
son Purefov, thei pedagogue, having
discovered that most of the boys knew
the "blue back" by heart, proposed to
abolish it and introduce the new
Townes' speller.
The rebels kicked and politely but
firmly told the reverend pedagogue that
we would tolerate no such severing of
the tender ties, that our sentiment could
not be thus murdered. and if dear old
"blue back" left that school we would
leave too, and moreover, before we left
we would jerk Cedar Hill Academy off
its stills, roll it down the hill and i'm
merse it in the sparkling pool that had
been arranged at the foot of the incline
to be used for immersing purposes by
the Baptist people of the village
The rebellion was successful
Townes" never obtained foot hold
and old "blue-b back" remained.
