was walking home In very bad humor,
when he CHANGED to get his foot wedged
in between two paving stones so tightly
that he could not draw 1t out again.
James Peruke happened along, and
seeing the predicament, FASTENED to
lend his assistance, and soon succeeded
In setting the foot free again. for which
act OF kindness Mr.. Boggs bestowed a
smile upon him and then, acting upon
the constant impulse which possessed
him, invited him TO his house to take
dinner and to meet his daughter.
James, being a gentleman. albeit poor.
bowed with much grace and accepted.
The acquaintance thus formed grew
apace, and 1t was not long before he
was a regular visitor at the house Of the
first functionary, and was thoroughly
posted about everything therein, includ-
ing Miss Elizabeth Boggs. AS the
frequency of his visits increased the
heart OF Solomon Boggs beat high with
hope. His demeanor was no longer
fierce. Slowly but surely the fish was
nibbling at the hook. and II was only
a matter of care. prudence and time
when II should be successfully landed.
But all this time the heads OF James
Peruke and Margaret Mullins were filled
with a wild and desperate scheme.
James. when he visited Miss Boggs.
assumed L lover-like familiarity. He
uttered tender nothings. He allowed
his hand 70 stray idly over the back OF
her chair and sighed dlsmally as he
spoke OF the tremendous distance that
separated him from her. All this WAS
duly impaired by Miss Elizabeth TO her
father. and he agreed with her that the
only thing that prevented an avowal on
the part II James Peruke was delicate
recognition OF his poor estate. De-
cidedly that obstacle must be removed.

But Platts Young Man May Make

to the Convention.

The limit fixed by law for filing the
lists OF ballot clerks, poll clerks and
election inspectors expired to-day. Both
Republicans and Democrats presented
their lists to the Police Board early this
month.
The law provides that the Board OF
Police Commissioners shall confirm the
candidates Of the faction declared reg
ular by its respective State Committee.
There are 5000 of these election officers,
equally divided between the two leading
parties.
The question of regularity by the Re.
publican factions having been settled In
favor of the Bliss-Patterson-B Brook field
combination. and against John e. Mil

now approve the list of the latter and
the one presented by Tammany Hall.
This Is the reason why Milholland

and whose confidence had been abused.
Therefore, when Solomon Boggs went
down to his Office to pick his teeth in
his capacity Of first functionary he gen.
orally bore a heavy heart along with
him. During the day he was frequently
occupied with schemes for the disposal
of his daughter in marriage. and saw
In every man he met a possible son-in-

burden that oppressed 1t.
But up to the thirty-seventh year OF
his daughters existence The only man
who had wooed her was a gentleman
from Mexico, who, just in the nick Of
time, was found to possess three other
wives.
So tormented and irritated did Mr.
Boggs become that little by little his
subordinates became filled with fear and
uneaslness and scarcely ventured TO raise
their eyes before him lest they should
call down upon themselves some ebulli-
ton OF temper and a discharge from their
situations Pennyboy, the chief clerk,

signing voluntarily, to save himself the
pain of a dismissal, and of establishing
with his savings a small cigar stand on

New Plan For Money.

In an address delivered before the
American Federation of Labor in session
at Denver. DR.. Baker of Philadelphia
offered solution of the silver question
which effectually removes every objec-
ton of the opponents of silver coinage.
1t is as follows:
That America admit silver from Amer
lean mines TO coinage upon payment of
seign:Orage absorbing three-fourths of
the difference between the London price
and coinage value and that foreign silver
be admitted for coinage ut a seigniorage
absorbing all the difference between
London price and coinage value
One of the chief objections urged
against the use of silver rs money by its
opponents is that with the present low
price of silver bullion. it would enrich
the owners of silver mines ut the expense
of the government. Let us see how this
would work under DR.. Bakers plan.
Suppose that 364! grains of silver, the
amount necessary for coined dollars is
worth i'm the London market 60 cents.
The coin value would of course be 100
cents. The owner Of the bullion for
every GO cents worth, market value, that
he had made into dollars, would surren-
der to the government 30 cents worth or
Onehalf the amount as compensation for
the use of its legal tender stamp. This
would be an ample safeguard to the gov

all d;!es.
Ii ; ~ grains Of bullion came to be
worth 50 cents in London. then - cents
worth o.: three-lourths of the difference
between the market value and the coin
value v ould still be surrendered to the
government as before. When 81
grains of bullion become worth 100 cents.
as it surely would. then the government
would get nothing. aud would need
nothing. 1t would be sufficiently en-
riched by the enhanced value of the
cheap silver bullion which it has on
hand.
The claim that the country would be
flooded by cheap foreign silver is also
effectually done away with and without
placing any tariff duty On the metal.
DIR. Bakers plan proposes that foreign
silver shall pay to the government the
full amount of the difference between
the market value and the coinage value.
so that with the bullion at the price
suggested above. the United States
treasury would get 40 cents worth for
every dollar coined from foreign silver.
The foreigner could not afford such a
transaction. for he would be ont of pocket
the amount of the freight. Silver would
rapidly advance after the passage OF
such Il law. whether any other county
admitted it to coinage or not. And
there would be no necessity for Mr..
Carlisle's scheme for expanding the
currency.-TOpeka Journal.
