THE SILVER QUESTION: AGAIN.

Bland. chairman OF the house committee
on coinage, has made q favorable report on
the bill to coin tbs silver seigniorsge In
the treasury. Bland expects tina. this bill
viii be taken up By the house tomorrow
and passed by Wednesday afternoon. The
bill! needs explanation.
seigniorage il. generally speaking. the
government charge for coming bullion
into money, bat the seIgniorage in the
treasury. which Bland proposes 20 coin. Is
the difference between the cost Of the sill
yer bullion bought and stored under the
Sherman act aud the coinage value of that
bullion. The sherman Law compelled the
secretary of the treasury to buy 100000
ounces Of silver yearly. He paid for this
in treasury notes at It's market value. The
cost of the silver thus purchased was $751;
$4,000. and treasury notes to that amount
were issued In payment. The valuc OF the
same bullion ii ii was coined would be
500. 500, 100. The di ference, $s9, 0oo, 600,
represents the profits of the government.
According to Mr.. BANDS view he would
make II available by coming il into silver
dollars, and in anticipation Of such coin
ago would issue SIS, 0oo. 900 Of paper money
and leave its coinage to await the conven-
fence Of the mint.
secretary Carlisle favored this bit Of
pure imitation Of the currency in his re-
port, and bills authorizing the coinage of
the seigniorage were promptly introduced
by Voorhees, in the senate and by Bland
in the house. Doubtless this scheme for
helping out the deficit by imitation Of the
currency will be passed by the house and
senate that were with difficulty persuaded
to repeal the Sherman silver purchase act
and have not hesitated to enact vicious
legislation at every opportunity since that
date
Senator John Sherman clearly and forci-
bly, stated the objection to coming silver
bullion purchased under the silver pur-
chase Law Of July, $780, when he pointed
out that it is trust property-a security
for the payment Of notes issued to pur-
chase Ii. 1t represents the gold value Of
those notes. and the act stipuIates that so
much Of 1t may be coined ''as may be
necessary to provide for the redemption Of
the notes." A few million dollars have
been coined for this purpose and the
seigniorage available for coinage for GER
tifcates under the Bland bill 10 stated to
be about $50. 900. 600. John Sherman holds
that the issue of more paper on this Sc
curity for notes alfeady out would be an
act of bad faith, and Is nothing less than
the addition of that much pure fat to the
volume Of the national currency.

WEAK WITH HIS OWN PARTY.


The ablest organs of the Democratic
party at the North denounce the admins
tration and the Wilson tariff bill.

its cofiin. This country /, not ready to

The New York Sun, Chicago Herald,

are crossing the line to get in" on the

will take the choice spots. such as river
front, lakes, springs, etc. No one can say
just when the reservation will be opened,
but II will probably be this year. Special

What poetry and sentiment linger
around the old fashioned fireplace! Here
the families gathered, down to the mid
die of the century in many cases. Be-
fore one of them in Kentucky the boy
Abraham Lincoln learned to read the
hut in which he lived being too poorly
furnished even to allow him the saucer
of lard with the burning lampwick float
ing therein. Here the sturdy manhood
and the buxom womanhood lived, loved
and died, learned, dreamed and went
therefrom to make name and fame or to
plod ON through life in a humble ca
pacity.
But those days are gone, and the ola
fashioned fireplace is a thing of the past
except in remote regions where the spirit
of progress has not yet penetrated. OF
course great deal of poetry departed
with the substitution of stoves for fire.
places, but this is largely a practical and
utilitarian age, wherein stoves and
prosy comfort are considered as vastly
preferable to fireplaces and the impossi-
bility of keeping warm without being
roasted. The majority of people today,
if there were no other objections to fire.

ical one as being sufficient. -Philadel-

Making Alloys Is All Art,

Great art is requisite in making alloys
1t is true that they are readily formed
by melting metals together in u crucible
or in properly constructed furnaces, but
1t Is necessary to insure perfect fusion
and to prevent loss. Zinc is volatile,
infiammable metal and easily catches
hre. Indeed, it is not ut all uncommon
to find that two alloys of exactly the
same component parts differ very ma
terially in properties, in consequence of
difference in the mode of preparation
or in the care bestowed upon it.-Cham-

THE LOCKED DOOR.

Two friends once closed between them. mu-
tually.
A door with d~nble locks. one on each side;
With separate keys, fashioned with cunning
art.
Sure Of himself, strong In fresh wounded pride,
Each. for his own side only. held the key.
And thus for weary weeks they dwelt apart,
Till ono. at last, whose dropping tears had
drowned
Tho Gre OF wrath that In his bosom burned,
Full Of forgiveness, softly stole and turned
The key; then sought TO ope the door. sut
found
The other lock still fast, still locked the doorl
Then the old anger leaped to sudden fame.
And, laying on his friends hard heart the
blame,
He shot again the bolt and turned once more
To nurse, In bitterness, the reopened wound.
That night the other thought of olden days,
And melted In the memory: they seemed
So nearer than arrangements later hours,
That of the quarrel he thought he must have
dreamed,
And 80 unlocked the door; yet all his powers
Failed still to shake 1t. Then he muttered'
Fool,
To think that stubborn churl would Ger re-
penti"
And socketward again the bolt he sent.
And thus before the first friends wrath could
cool,
The others heart grew hard again and kept
The bar between them while they walked or
slept.
But one calm eve both waken from dream
or what has been, 30 clear forthshadowing. too,
Tho golden prophecy Of what may be:
Each rises. and In the moonlight's softened
CLEAN.
Resolves TO try again all he can do.
