SILVER TALK.

The following taken from the O9-
den Press speaks for itself and many
another:
General A, j. Warner, president
of the American BimetallIc League
and one of silver's most distinguished
champions, arrived in Butte day or
two ago, for the purpose of holding
a conference with the silver members
relative to the plan of campaign to
be pursued i'll the coming election.
Warner says his politics are silver,
and silver alone, and his present mis-
sion is to induce the people of the
mining States to look at the question
in the same iishs. he declares that
the cause of bimetallism Is spreading
rapidly in the East, with the excep-
ton of New York and the New Eng
land States where Cleveland's intiu
ence is strong, and there is no shadow
of doubt in his mind that if the sill
yer producing States stand together
and work together for the cause in
which they are most vitality inter-
ested, regardless of party lines, the
free coinage of silver at ratio of 16
to l will be an accomplished fact
within three years.
The key to the whole situation, he
SAYS, is held by the six mining states,
Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Ne
vada and California, with Utah.

issue in this country and it must b,

ner says the present gold STANDARD

CHAPTER VI

On the Shoulders of the Crowd.
1t is usual to preserve a considerable de-
gree of reticence regarding the performance
Of candidates for an athletic team. Boast
fulness is the least common of all ofrenses
at college. The works of the athletes praise
them and not their own lips The captain
Of the nine always says modestly that he
will do his best, and that his men will DO
their best, and he leaves the remainder TO
the official scorer.
But the performance of Paddy O'Toole
had been so remarkable that il could not be
kept quiet. 1t was all over the college be-
fore morning, and the name of Lawrence
Bangs was more common in conversation
than the definite article. When he appear
ed at prayers he was the object Of an
alteration which was very nearly sacri-
legious. considering the ostensible purpose
of the gathering.

on repeating them about 500 times a day
for the next month, till Paddy knew them
much better than he knew the alphabet
In January the makeup OF the nine be-
gan to be the principal subject of interest
throughout the college. OF course the
name of Lawrence Bangs was never men
toned in that connection. In fact, IL was
rarely mentioned anywhere except in the
class room. He was one Of the least-known
men In the college.
But one day there came a change. Harry
Bangs took Paddy by the arm and led him
to that great center of interest, the base
ball cage.
