ALL FOR GOLD.

In the June Forum Congressman Hen.
dirk OF New York takes the English view
of the silver question. He argues that
England will not consent to bimetallism
if it will make her food cost more. Mr..
Hendrix has apparently looked at but one
side of the Enlish position. England
buys food, il is true, but she also sells
cloth and other things her people manu-
f~acture. 1t is of quite as much import
ance to England to have a market for
her goods at fair prices as to buy food st
the lowest point. Again Mr.. Hendrix
says:
"All we have to do with England is
to get as much Of her gold as we can,
and our surest way to do that is to re-
establish the confidence of the English
investor in our financial integrity"
Financial integrity means in this con-
nection the maintenance of the gold
standard. II English capitalists could
be certain that the appreciation Of money
would continue some years longer they
would invest their gold in our bonds.
But with the possibility that silver may
come into use and cause a depreciation
in the present value of money English
capitalists prefer to hold on to their gold.
But the New York Congressman thinks
apparently that the prosperity Of the
United States depends upon our ability
to sell bonds abroad. The country at
large knows nothing about Mr.. Hen
dirk. His name doubtless appears in the
yeas and nays column. but he is not yet
prominent in the House debates. Very
likely he is a typical New Yorker who
crosses the Atlantic every year but has
never heard Of the Paci6c.-S. F. Call.

One oil the most tragic events ever
heard Of in the business world took place
some years ago in st. Petersburg. The
agent Of q banker, who had been sent to
draw the sum Of 5000 rubles, lost the
package Of bank notes while returning
from the bank. The money was picked
up BY q clerk, who, instead Of giving the
funds ct once TO the riehtfnl owner. fol-
lowed the agent to his destination and
ascrtained his name. The clerk then
returned home, hesitating in his mind
hcw he should act. When he arrived
there a violent quarrel took place be-
tween him and his wife, the latter wish
ing to keep the money. The clerk, how
ever, on the following day went to the
house Of the owner to deliver the money.
While there he was told that the agent
had committed suicide the night before,
on account Of the loss. Overcome with
remorse, the clerk returned home, where
he found that during his absence his wife
had hanged herself from vexation at not
having kept the money. He Immediately
cut down the body and hung himself
with the same rope.

Commenting on the evils of demoneti-
cation the Denver News, which is one OF
the foremost advocates Of free coinage,
says: "The demonstration Of silver, by
contracting the volume and enhancing
the value Of money. has enabled the
money power to dominate industry and
undervalue the products Of labor at will.
1t has rendered farming, except under
exceptional conditions, Improbable and
Ia fast forcing q fierce conflict between
capital and labor. II has placed produc.
ers at the mercy of money owners and is
slowly but surely draining the producing
States Of their wealth to enrich Q hand

Of individual wealth ever realized until
within fifty years."

The London Telegraph says: To take
a COW from door to door and milk her in
the presence Of each customer is the very
newest departure in the London milk

in boldness and originality, and it de-
serves more success than it is likely, we
fear, to meet with.

COW and the milkmaid combined, and as
they demand yellowness they are sup

changing the time when the assessment

The tea plant is Of the camelia family
and grows in a thick bush 1t lie green
the year round. The blossom is similar
to the orange and equally fragrant. The
first picking is in May; this is the best;
the next in June, and continued until
September. The finest quality is never
exported. but is used at home. II sells
for IS per pound. The next quality is
used by the well-to-do and sells for 81 so
a pound. The average quality shipped
to the United States sells at about twelve
cents in Japan. Green tea is made by
placing the leaves over hot fires as soon
as gathered; for black tea the leaves are
packed away for several days and allowed
to wilt and ferment. when they turn red.
Then they are fired. New York Ad.

The Silver State says: Twin gangs in
the west are trying desperately to make
people believe outside the State that they
are in favor Of the free coinage of silver.
But their pretense is too thin for average
boarding house soup. The Silver party
has time and again exposed their duplic.
ity and downright lying, and there is no
man in or out Of the State such a dam
phool as not tc know that a set of men
cannot be in favor of free coinage and at
the same time vote and work against il
at every biennial election.

The Carson Appeal says: A few days
ago . prominent Republican Of this
county made the assertion that there
wasn't ten dollars in the Silver party Of
Nevada.
He bases his idea OF their success 10
the campaign solely on the size Of the
sack the party has at its disposal.
This was the way politics were nan
aged in the old days when men were
herded like sheep and sold in punches.
The Australian ballot dealt the death
blow to this corrupt system Of politics.
1t is not necessary that the Silver
party buy up citizens Of this common
wealth to declare this State for silver.
This is 9 campaign Of principle and
principle will win.
The Republican party in Nevada to-
day is merely a remnsnt Of the old chronic
ofice-holders' gang and the men who
can't enjoy existence unless they are
bossing other peoples politics.
The money idea has long held sway in
Nevada, but the election Of two years
ago wiped il out, and il is now possible
for o citizen Of this State to walk up to
the polls and vote as he pleases, asking
permission Of nobody.
1t was this square system Of voting that
gave the Silver men Of Nevada their
splendid victory. and under the same
system they will win again.
1t is the opinion Of this journal that
the Silver party Of Nevada will win their
campaign by a larger majority than in
1892. Reports from all over the State
confirm this idea.

When he was within three feet
of the soldier the dog sprang straight
at the outStTetched arm, and at once
the cavalrynan thrust forward with all
his strength The saber struck the dog
full in the breast, and at the same moment
the colonel dashed out of the Office through
the narrow passage and out on the parade
ground. followed by the adjutant When
the colonel reached the spot he saw his
daughter, who looked very pale, leaning
on Lieutenant DicksOn's arm, while the
private was c0Oly examining his left arm,
from which the sleeve of his jacket and
shirt had been torn by the maddened brute.
This DONE he drew handkerchief from
his pocket, wiped his saber, returned it to
the scabhard and threw the handkerchief
away. Hilyard and Smithers, who had
watched the operation, inquired if he was
hurt, and, on being answered in the mega
tive. seized his hands and shook them
vigorously. Miss Martin. who had now
somewhat recovered from her fright. but
who was still very pale, came up to thank her
protector. AS she saw his face she started,
troubled. blushed, then turned pale again
and thanked him in a clear, sweet voice.
AS for the colonel, who was either too
much affected or too much ont of breath
for words, he simply seized both the
soldiers hands and gasped out his thanks.
The private. evidently aware of the honor
done him. drew himself up to his full
height, took OFF his cap to Miss Martin,
saluted his officers and stood at attention.

neRe boat, sculled by ragged Ce-
lestlal, up the 1angtse banks under the
shadow of the Hankow wharves. We
passed thousands of boats loaded with all
sorts or freight. from Standard oil cans
and cotton bales to baskets Of oil, boat
loads of peanuts. RATS OF poles with bam-
boo houses upon them, and hundreds of
great JunkS or white pine, sometimes oiled
to rich yellow and in other cases black
with age.
Every wharf was filled with workers, and
the. coolies. with great loads on their
backs, swarmed up and down them like
gigantic ants The men on the boats and
on shore grunted or sang as they worked
and the air was filled with noise as great
ana as lndstingulS hable as that of the
tower of Babel at the time of the con-
fusion of tongues. Passing Hankow. we
reached the shipbuilding yards of Han
yang. where men perehed in little bamboo
huts, built upon four poles at least fifty
feet above the ground, were twisting ropes
OF plated bamboo. Each hut was not
more than four feet square and was just
large enough To contain the rOpemaker,
who twisted at the coil which lay in rings
within the poles on the ground beneath
Here and all along the banks of the river
there were hundreds of bamboo huts,
many of them no bigger tnan the top of a
canVas-c0yered wagon and of exactly the
same shape. These were the homes of
some OF the poorest of the million of
HankOw and OF many beggars. l stopped
and photographed some of these as we
went by, much to the CONSERVATION of
their owners, who ran from the camera
and called NE a foreign devil at the top of
their voices.
One attempted to grab my camera. but l
gave him a shove backward and jumped
into the boat. Similar cries greeted us as
we landed at the wharf. where score of
Chinese coolies were unloading the great
lngOts of steel. which have been brought
here from Europe, to make the first rails
aud TO use until the Chinese shall be able
to turn out their own steel from their own
iron. Other coolies were unloading thou
sands of bushels of coke, also from Europe.
and this carrying of steel ingOts, coke and
machinery has been going on for months.
