by the Republicans to revive the Mckinley law. That law" he says, did not have the support of oneRepublican in five when il passed.
 This is official. Ii is also signi- fcant. We rarely find Republican statesmen or politicians so entire ly candid as Mr. Babcock has be- come since the election. The question naturally arising out of suck a remarkable statement as that of the Republican chairman is: What assurance bave Republi- cans that a restoration of the Re publican party to power will re suit in giving force and effect to what the great ma jority of Repub licans concelve to be proper poli- cies for the government of the country?
 If one-fifth of the Republicans in 1890 were able to put through measure to which the other four tifths were unalterably opposed, the conclusion IS irresistible that the Republican party has ceased to represent the masses of it's membership and has fallen into the hands and under the control of a small minority having certain interests to be promoted by legis- lation.
 When a party reaches this con- dition 1t is near dissolution # the people have intelligence, and they are not lacking in that quality on occasion.
 What is said ot the Mckinley law may more truthfully be said of the Sherman bullion purchase law passed at the same session in the interest of few mine owners constituting much less than one fifth of Republican party member ship. The Republican party has ceased to represent any vital pop ular principle or policy.

NOTWITHSTANDING much may be sad against Clevelahd's and Car Iisle's plan of reforming the cur roncy, il has, we think, many ad- santages over the present system and the leading one is that 1t will cause the money to be more gen orally distributed throughout tho country.
 Under Mr. Carlisle's plan every bank, both State and National can put bills in circulation to tho amount of 75 per cent of the cap ital stock, by first depositing 30 per cent of treasury notes with the Secretary of the Treasury, and the general government becomes re- sp0nSible for the ultimate redemp- ton of the bank paper ir the event of insolvency of the bank. The scheme also makes all banks responsible for the fail ure of single bank, so far as it's circulating paper is concerned This will make Il sound and elas- tic currency. This scheme will be opposed by the Eastern banks as 1t will interfere with their powers 10 control the money of the eoun try.

WE occasionally hear some Democrat croaking, like a frog ih mill pond, that there is no chance for Democracy in 1896. Why net. Are not the principles of Democra. ey as sound now as they ever were. and is there not now as much ne s>ssiiy for them to be invoked as ever hetore2 Are not the people of America as wise and patriotic as in days gone by?

 The Globe Democrat still insists that the election this year was n protection victory. It takes good care, however, to impress upon republicans the idea that no such a protective measure as the Nc. Kinley bill will ever again be placed upon the statute books.- Ft. Smith Elevator.
 A good deal is being said just now about the organization of a Free Silver Party, but the proposi- ton is not agitated by bimetalists at all, and when the attempt is made to eliminate free silver men from the Democratic party, they will be found fully equal to any emergeney.-Warren News.
 The Congress row in session is the same that was elected with Mr. Cleveland in 1892, and both Congress and Cleveland were elected on the same platform. It remains to be seen what disposi- ton will be made of the recom- mendations made by the President in his message.-Gazette.
 The President says the ideal is the absolute divorcement of the government from banks. Thls is good Democratic doctrine, still :, there are many who are so igno- rant of the true functions of the government as to believe that it should furnish money to all its citizens as the father does to his children.-Nevada Picayune.
 Mrs. Lease is about to shake the dust from her feet in Kansas. Having purchased small farm in the San Joaquin valley, she will make her future home in Califor. nia, She, no doubt, feels as other politicians who are thwarted in their ambition, that she has not been rightfully appreciated by | the citizens of Kansas.-Demoerat. We have observed that demo- cratic papers are holding out the | olive branch in one hand to their democratic brethren and at the same tune using dagger with the other hand. One of two things should be done about past-either bury it and say nothing about it, or fight it out to the finish. Now which shall we do?-Ozark Demo- crat.

 Some of tho third party follow CTS are mere pretenders in their political and financial views. For instance,in Missouri, before the congressional election, the popu- lites were loud and clamorous for the free coinage of silver, but on the day of election they voted against Silver Dick Bland, the long and constant advocate of the free coinage of fsilver. They even went so far, some of them, to vote for the republican gold standard candidate. How is that for con. sistency?-Batesville Bee.

The Usefulness of Titles.

Impecunious aristocrats know the
value of good name and are not averse
to making practical use of it. Not
long ago the following advertisement
appeared in French paper:
''The owner of historical name,
and belonging to royal family, wishes,
in consequence of pecuniary losses, to
place his name at the disposal of joint
stock company Or some other great COM
mercial or financial enterprise in return
for adequate remuneration %
Another impecunious aristocrat thus
makes his plea: GA nobleman, married
TO a lady who is a member of a royal
family, desires to meet with an appoint
ment for himself and wife in one and
the same house. He would prefer the
post Of manager Of some estate or of
manufacturing concern, though the oou
pie would not object to the situation of
tutor and governess in a German fam
ily.'
Still another is this: ga young, hand
some German prince, of very ancient
family, and related.to several reigning
houses and possessing no debts, desires
to marry a lady Of very good personal
appearance, American most preferred,
but who must have dot worthy of the
princely rank of the advertiser Anony-
nous letters will not be answered. D

Amounted Stones.

The custom Of amounting stones with
oil (see Genesis xviii, IS, 1917, and
leaving them as memorial pillars Or OBJ
jects of worship was one that was very
common among the ancients. The
stones first worshiped were probably Of
meteoric origin, which, having been
seen to fall from heaven, were easily
associated with some deity. In Roman
mythology Abadires was the name CIV
en- to stone which was worshiped be-
cause it was the general belief that it
had once been swallowed by Saturn.
The standing images" referred to
as being prohibited in Leviticus (xxvi,
y are thought to have been these same
"anointed stones" In the light which
modern investigation has thrown upon
the curious customs of the early east, the
act of Jacob which is recorded at the
Arst Scriptural reference mentioned i'll
this "note'' is Of special interest as
showing the mood Of his mind and
heart after nights entertainment OF
such gracious and blessed vision. To
this day the amounted stones" of the
orient are called Baotylia, which b.
chart suggests may be derived from
Bethel, where Jacob first anointed
pillar as sacred memorial. -St. Loui:

A Hero.


'tLast summer a man in my employ
exhibited an act Of presence of mind and
self control that might we'll be compared
to the deeds of daring on the field of
BATTLE remarked John L. Nevins, a
New York contractor. '"Two Workmen
were engaged In repairing the lightning
rod Of the steeple of a church. To ac-
eomplish this somewhat difficult and
dangerous task it-had become necessary
for one Of the workmen to stand on the
shoulders of his companion. While in
this position a sudden gust of wind
caused him to spill quantity of molten
lead, which fell on the hand and arm
of his friend. Notwithstanding the sud
den and intense pain, the brave man
never finched and had the courage to
remain motionless while the lead burn
ed it's way into his flesh. He knew that
movement of his was liable to precipi-
tate his companion from the dizzy
height into the street below, and he en-
dured the pain rather than risk the life
of his fellow worker. st. Louis Globe
