A Related Laugh.

The Chicago girls joke about western corn

Franklin. and being lost from the sight of
humanity forever. says an exchange. 1t NAV
be OF interest To briefly review the history Of
this sing ular international episode.
II appears then. that last autumn Lady
Poyle Ayle. OF SOmersetshire. visited certain
OF the western states OF America Just before
harvest time, The enormous fields Of Indian
corn, covering areas like kingdoms, with
their beautiful products,
With its shining robes about II,
And its long. soft yellow tresses."
filled the patrician traveller with amazemeut.
From the Wabash to the kaw extended these
hi1mitable areas OF precious grain, Of which
Illinois alone has yielded more than ZOO 00,-
OO0 bushels In single year, Out OF the a.
0JOOJG10 produced yearly by American
farms 1t was shown that the value OF corn
alone reaches S6OO.000.O)0
While standing before the cereal exhibits
at the world 5 fair with ayoung lady friend Of
Chleago origin, Lady Poyle AYle remarked,
May awsk you. my dear what becomes Of
TINS quite too awfullv immense quantity OF
maize! You Americans very wrongly call it
corn, don YOU. but wheat is the only proper
corn in the United Kin gdomE really Gavin I
comprehend, my dear. how you Yankees man
age 10 dlSp OF such amounts of maize -
To which. the fair ulinoisan made reply:
on, mat S. easy enough. We eat what we
can. and can what we can't"
The British matron. of course, missed the
point but the incident was noted down and
borne pack to England as az illustration OF
the hippant ineonseQuenee Of the young
American. female How long this in
splred gem of repartee might naturally h-ve
fingered unreeognized and unvalued

Sabretoche widely travelled military oficer.
came overflow the adjacent garrison town 10
dine at Poyle Ayle Castle. and was regaled
with the Sphinx-like remark of the rChica-
.goan. He remained in a pensive frame
throughout the rest of the, evening, smiling
in an increasing broadness as the purport of
the words dawned upon him, bit by bit. until
suddenly he broke into roar which clattered
the morions ana hauberks on the walls OF the
ancient hall calculating:
,'YaaS. by jove, see, Just fawncy To can
what they can't! Why, my lady, it is posi-
lively a bong moe worthy Of Sidney Smith or

BY the aid of careful and patient explana-
tion and suitable diagram her ladyshipin
time came to comprehend the bright Quip,
and the gallant colonel also communicated it
to certain friendly officers of the Clackman-
shire battalion. Thus the long buried pleas

Uninst1 ucted Delegates.

There is very little enthusiasm for
/ either of the candidates for the demo
I cratic nomination for governor. Neither
| Gen. Evans hor Mr.. Atkinson has sue
ceeded in creating the impression that he
| is the man Georgia needs at this time as
her chief executive. The remark is
made frequently that there would be no
very deep feeling of regret in any part Of
the state if the convention should pass
by both of them and nominate one of a
dozen or more of other prominent Geor-
ginas who have a stronger hold upon the
democracy.
The canvass of Gen. Evans and Mr. At
kinson, ever since it began, has dragged.
The newspapers which have taken sides
and the partisans of each have given it
what little life it has. The masses of
the democracy have been comparatively
Indifferent. This would not have been
the case il there were a feeling that one
or both Of the candidates fill the popular
demand
The fact should not be lost sight of
that the democracy is not bound to
accept either of them. Neither of
them has any great claim up-
on the Democratic party. They are
candidates not because there was a gen
eral demand that they should be, but be-
cause they are anxious for the honor they
seek. There is no question, of course, of
their right to aspire to the governorship,
but at the same time there is no obliga-
ton resting upon democrats to give either
of them what he wants.
The first and highest duty of the party
in selecting candidate for governor is
to nominate the very best available man
it can. Judging from the
apathy apparent in the canvass
now in progress neither of the
avowed candidates is, in the popular es-
timation, that man.
Why then choose delegates committed
TO either of them9 Why not name unln-
structed and unpledged delegates, and
trust them to make nomination. Feel
ing the responsibility thus placed upon
them, they would likely give the honor to
a democrat who has no friends to reward,
no enemies to punish and who. by his rec
ognized ability and devotion to the states
best interests, would command the enthu-
SldSJlC support OF Gne party.
We do not like to refer to the action of
the Populist party as guide for the de-
mocraey for anything, but it is apparent
that that party pushed aside all the popu-
list leaders who wanted the nomination
for governor and nominated a man who
had not been closely identified with it,
but whom it believed, could bring to it
strength and reputation. The nomina-
tion went to a man who, as far as the pub
lie knows, didn't seek it.
Only few counties have chosen dele
gates to the state democratic convention.
There is plenty of time yet to send a suf-
fcicnt number of uninstructed delegates
to control the nomination. We suggest
that such delegates be chosen, because
we are confident the convention can nomi-
nate candidate for governor who would
be more acceptable to the democracy than
either of the avowed candidates, and
who would poll much larger vote and
fill the gubernatorial office much more
satisfactorily.

An REIMBURSEMENT Of Riohes.

Il had four $50 gold pieces of "a in my
pocket when went home from the office the
other day, d" said a government oficial to the
Pittsburg Dispatch S New York correspond
ent, and couldn't buy thing in my neigh
borhood." rs.
You haven't bad face, either" slyly sug-
gested friend.
Everybody seemed to think they were
counterfeit" he went on without noticing the
tenor of the interruption. You see they
were the first of the new coinage, and were so
awfully bright and new in appearance that
people were afraid of them. They didn't ex-
actly say they believed was a counterfeiter,
but they looked upon the coin suspiciously
When went to the barbershop hadn't any
other change. and the arber said he would
trust me rather than get the $50 piece changed.
There was man getting out of the next
chair who wanted to see IL. He turned it over
and over in a critical way for moment, and
SAID authori tatively
90 Its a counterfeit.
Where did you get it?' inquired the bar
Der
oh, downtown said J.
Do you know whom YOU got IL OF"
Yes said l, and | know him pretty
we'll
" Well, it's no good, and the quicker you
take it back to him the better, said the other
fellow, as he pulled on his coat.
It's some of them Italians work. said
the barber. They can make coin look bet
ter than the real thing
After L had listened TO all this l finally
told them that got the coin out OF the sub
treasury and guessed IL was all right. The
customer went out without a word but the
barber said the Italians had probably beaten
the treasury.
Now, that sounded very funny to me, Of
course continued the otlcial, but the next
day went over to the sub-treasury and got
a lot of change, and among the change / got
a quarter that my wife tried on everybody she
could think of and couldn't pass. She knew
all about the other thing and laughed at me
good deal. l examined the coin and found it
was counterfeit. IL was a very good one. but
1t was unquestionably crooked Well / took
it back. as no one else would have IT, and
passed it on the sub-treasury."

The Missouri Platform.

The platform OF the Missouri democrats in
state convention is in the main good sound
democratic document The commentator OF
President Cleveland is strong a1d unequivo-
cal, and the national democratic tariff plank
is reatirmed. The action OF democratic sen
ators and representatives who oppose or de-
lay directly or indirectly. under any pretext
the passage OF a bill decreasing the import
duties Is denounced The trouble with the
silver plank is more In It's tmpracticability
than in its principle II saws: We declare
that we are not in favor OF gold monometallism
or silver recommendation, but 9th should be
coined at such q ratio as will maintain the
two metals in circulation" This is signih-
cant as teing complete change Ia Mr.
BANDS policy. He has heretofore contended
for the 10 to ratio. No one objects seriously
10 silver dollars II there is enough metal in
them TO make their bullion value equal to the
gold dollar The practical difficulty is thatthe
market value OF silver is so constantly chang
ing that the size OF the silver dollar would
nave 10 be constantly increased OF diminished
according TO the fluctuations OF the market.
Using silver as a meas re OF value Is like
the use Of an elastic yard-stiek.

An interesting rumor from Washington
that has found its way into the western
papers-a rumor that may be taken with
a grain of salt, by the way-is to the
effect that since the introduction of the
"Gorman compromise tariff bill into
the Senate, Senator Mills has sought
and obtained reconciliation with
Speaker Crisp 1t is alleged they had
not been on speaking terms since the
memorable speakership contest of 1891
Senator Mills object, according to the
story, is to induce the speaker to name
none but staunch tariff reformers as the
House members of the conference com
tee on the tariff bill men who may be
depended upon TO make stout struggl e
for the main features of the bill as it
passed the House. Senator Mills de-
clared opposition to the changes made by
the Senate committee makes such a story
plausible, but it is extremely improba bic
that he approached the speaker on any
such mission as is alleged.

Full from orchards, groves. and yards,

Led By merry songsters three,
Bluebird, robin, mellow thrush
Lifting forth with joyous rush

Hang birds swinging high their nest
Safe from squirrel S cruel quest;
Ftnches hiding mid the leaves
Martens nesting meath the caves;

Each his very heart outpours-
Ours the wisdom sweet OF NAV;
Life is work, and work is play;

There will Be No Free Silver Bill.

Representative Bland, of Missouri,
went home last week to see that the 6em-
ocratic convention of his state put a sill
yer plank in its platform that would be in
entire harmony with his views on silver
He is the head and front of all the free
silver nonsense in congress, being chair
man Of the coinage committee. The dis
patches said that Mr.. Bland was entirely
satisfied with the action of the Missouri
convention in respect to silver.
The MORNING NEWS said, in respect to
the silver plank in the Missouri platform,
the day after the platform was published,
that Mr.. Bland had greatly modified his
views on silver that he was getting
nearer to the Cleveland view of the silver
question, the view expressed in the
national democratic platform.
What does Mr.. BANDS organ-the st.
Louis Republic-say of the silver plank in
the platform adopted by the Missouri
democratsl If what it says expresses Mr.
BANDS views correctly there will be no
free silver coinage bill introduced into the
House by Mr.. BANDS committee during
this congress. The ST. Louis Republic
says:
There was warm contest over the
silver plank. AS the contest was fought
and decided, the construction is that Mr..
Bland and his ideas achieved a victory.
Like most declarations which cover
disputed points and have the impress of
several minds, it is not an extreme in
any direction,
Free coinage at is to at this juncture
would be silver recommendation, and the
platform in plain terms disavows sympa-
thy with that error.
Free coinage at 10 to 1 now, followed
| by readiustment to bimetallism a little
later, would mean two financial convul-
sions-one of sudden change to silver
monometallism and the other of sharp
contraction to a bimetallic standard.
| This great mistake of policy the platform
has carefully guarded itself against.
According to the above, Mr.. Bland ad-
mits that free silver coinage at the pres
ent ratio-16 to would be silver mono
metallism, which is not to be thought of
for moment. According to Mr.. Bland
if there is to be free silver coinage il must
be at ratio that would keep silver and
gold currency on parity
How is it possible to fix such a ratio
while silver is undergoing such wild
| f1uctuations2 1t is not possible. Hence
there will be no free silver legislation
until there is an international agreement
as to ratio. When there is such an
| agreement it will make no difference how
greatly the price of silver fuctuates.
Mr.. Bland himself gives free silver coin
age by this country alone its death blow.
