Puttkanmers, with whom, by the way. he had
not the slightest acquaintance, demanding
the hand Of the Fraulein Johanna in mar
riage. The paternal Puttkammer seems to
have been somewhat of a diplomatist, for
without committing himself to either con-
sent or refusal. after learning from his daugh-
ter that she cared for young Otto, he wrote,
inviting that estimable young gentleman to
Visit him. Preparations were made to have
his reception one Of becoming solemnity and
dignity; but the effect was rather spoiled by
young Bismarck the moment he alighted go

A PLEA FOR MORE MONEY.

BYA The free coinage Of silver
NyNRrR or is one Of the most absorbing
topics now in the minds of
the people OF my district
FROM and state. The west feels
so,-rH D,ror, that it has not sufficient
money TO do the business
and develop a new country. All parties in
the west generally believe that the further
coinage of silver can with safety be pursued.
An amendment Of mine to the repeal of the
Sherman act sought to coin the American
product, and believe that all parties in my
part of the west think that it would be safe to
furnish larger supply of currency and de-
velop the silver interests of the country. As
the price of silver bullion has advanced. SO
has the price of farm products increased.
The present situation being that OF a single
gold standard, the value OF the gold dollar
must necessarily be advanced, so that it will
require larger amount OF the products OF the
West to pay the debts which the West largely
owes other portions of the country than was
required when silver was on legal equality
with gold. In other words by the legislation
demonetizing silver and placing the country
on a single gold standard, the debts
of the West have been unfairly in
creased over what they were when
contracted. The Republicans of the West
Gesire that every dollar, whether of gold,
silver or paper. shall be equal to every
other. and with this equality established, they
do not believe that there can be too much
good money in circulation. They believe that
all platforms of the Republican party have
recognized the use of both gold and silver,
and that the representatives of all parties in
the East are now seeking to force the country
TO single geld standard, and thus not only
prevent the country from having a sufficient
amount of money to do the business OF the
country and ruin the growing interests of the
West
The increasing population in the West and |
in the whole country, and especially the de- |
veiopment of new enterprises in the new |
portions of the West, require an increasing |
volume of currency which is now denied, as |
there can be no further issue of silver or |
paper currency, and there will not be suffl- |
cient gold TO do the increasing business of |
the country. The unconditional repeal of |
the Sherman law was in direct conflict with |
the national Republican platform, and espe-
cially with the Republican platform of South |
Dakota. JOHN A. PIcKLER

DON'T LAUGH AT COXEY.

The readers of The TINES needn't be afraid
Of Coxey, and they needn't laugh at him. A
person who has been used to luxury, a person,
even, who has never suffered from lack of
work, cannot understand the frenzy which
possesses men who find themselves, however
strong, and willing, and responsible. and true
to the obligations Of American citizenship,
desperate, hungry, starving, or what is yet
more bitter, their families crying out in want
and misery. In these conditions men must
simply act. There are many things they can
not do. They cannot employ themselves;
they cannot change their occupations; they
cannot, in the cruel, mercenary nature of
things, fight their way into an honest living.
They can, they will, they must plead. and
fight, if necessary-ple and fight, If neces-
sary, for their lives, and what is still more
precious to them, the lives of those they love.
These times develop sneaks, usurers, cut
throats. They also develop big, whole hearts.
That charity is best-and let's all try to have
(which really tries to help others to help
themselves

WANTED. NEW SILVER LEADERS.

If the so-called silver leaders, the gone-to-
seed gentlemen. who have continually paraded
themselves as leaders in a movement full of
justice which has never been wisely contended
for, and full of sense which has never been
wisely exploited, would disappear for year
and give others. new men and good men,
tried. respectable, able, and fearless men,
would give new converts to the cause. would
encourage into the leadership of their un-
fortunate crusade persons whose every move
ment almost is not thing to laugh about.
whose every utterance is not signal for de-
rision, the cause of silver, of bimetalllsm.
of recovered prosperity, and national
comfort and happiness would be intellectually
forwarded. Let the gone-to-seed gentlemen
take back seats. They need themselves, no
doubt, but nobody else needs them. The
cause of people does not need them. 1t
does need new blood. and muscle, and brain.
and bravery. Let the new leaders be heard
from now and then. Stop the nonsense Of
these conventions; cease the drivel of these
hackneyed resolutions. Let the writer's and
the speakers who are really thinking do the
writing and the speaking.

Mr.. Benson's Last Lecture.

The final appearance of Mr.. Luther Benson
before a Washington audience, was made last
night at Metzerott Hall. when he delivered a
lecture upon the subject Economics" His
remarks were upon economics as pertaining
to the sale of whiskey. ''All consumption is
productive" said Mr.. Benson, land nothing
is destroyed but that the result may bring in
creased values. Wheat is destroyed to make
-four, flour makes bread, bread makes brains

WRITE ME A LETTER.

Write me letter, my dear old friend,
Say that you love me yet;
1 know you are true, but l wish that you
Would say that you never forget
The Springs all budding and scent and song,
The Summers blossoming rhyme,
The orchard talks and the woodland walks
In the golden Autumn time.
Write me letter, my dear old friend,
Leave out the years between;
The ways have been rough and thorny enough
Which 'twixt us intervene.
Sing me a song of the long ago,
Ere knew the world could cheat,
OF moonlight CLEANS and fond day dreams
That were so divinely sweet
Writy me letter, my dear old friend,
love you more and more
As further apart we drift, dear heart,
And nearer the other shore
The dear old loves and the dear old days
Are balm to life's regret;

Ii there has been any Joint action. as re-

tives OF foreign powers at Rio towards secur-
ing elemency from Peixoto for the fugitive
rebels now on the Portuguese men-of-war, the
United States is not party to the action.
Our government throughout the Brazilian

VIII be no departure from that position now
that the rebellion at Rio is at an end. and il
IS quite ineonceivable that Minister Thompson
should officially break the rule without spe-

he has not had.
Secretary Gresham said last night that he
had received no official information from
Minister Thompson in reference to the revival

Said Secretary MacAdoo enroute to the

Hon. Jerry Simpson got off n number of

The volume of knowledge concerning the
technique and mathematics of heavy ordnance

the Dolphin was working her way up to the
navy yard, THAT this boat. drawing seventeen
feet, can get in when the lead shows only six

Cannon, THAT there is something goes with

one occasion he was taken to task by a lady
at Bar Harbor, who thought he did not recog-

don't remember me; met you here two years
ago."
Remember you, madam!'' was his quick
reply, with one of his courtly bows; "why,
I've been trying ever since to forget you.'
