A LIFT IN SILVER.

Italy is one Of the countries which have
been counted upon as member of posi-
Bile bimetallic union. There is no country
in Europe that would profit more by the
adoption Of policy that would open the
markets of silver countries to European
manufactured goods than Italy. The in
dustries of Italy are at present crushed
beneath heavy taxation. Labor is cheap
but still unproductive. The tax collector
stands in the way Of the merchant and
artisan.
Chancellor Caprivi is now disposed to
consider the silver question on its merits.
He does not believe that International
action can be secured, but is willing to
listen to propositions. International action
does not imply universal action a none
tary union composed of France, Italy.
Russia, the United States Mexico, Central
and South American countries, India,
China, Japan and other Asiatic countries
would be international. II these nations
should agree upon a ratio at which gold
ana silver dollars should be interchange
able, it could hardly follow otherwise
than that the manufacturing nations be-
longing to the union would supply the
wants of the agricultural nations. The
next intern atioDal union will leave Eng.

machine hands do not earn so much, but
they are fairly well remunerated compared
with other trades. 1t is an Injustice that
women should, as rule, only be paid
about half the wages men receive for the
same work. In the building trades. in
Guiding carpentry, wages are on an average
from % to 30 per cent below those of Great
Britain, and the working day is consider
ably longer. Wherever the workers are
combined in effective organizations. the
status of labor, both as to wages and hours
of toll, is better ia a marked degree, and
as rule very long working days accom-
pany very poor wages. 1t makes one
shudder to think of journeymen in the
building trades working seventy-eigbt
hours a week for IS -. But the hardship
is far worse in the case of milers, who
are accustomed 10 work twelve to twenty
hours day for So a week. In 40 per cent
of cases inquired into the custom was to
work from seventeen to eighteen hours
per day, and In large number OF instances
not even Sunday was excepted. The mill
ers have no trade organization worthy OF
name, but they are now agitating for the
boon of tOiling twelve hours a day.
Bakers are scarcely better off. Their hours
average fourteen per day. and the wages
run from S Il 80 to So Is a week, with
board. The German shop assistant has
the ordeal Of fifteen hours day. ana his
creature comforts are few and inferior.
The German army service is not popular
on account of its obligatory character, but
the grinding nature of shackled labor is
also a severe trial to the army of tOilers.
No wonder there is rush of emigration
to lands that promise better things with

FROM AN EXPERT.

Mr.. Cleveland's Naval Officer for he port
of San Francisco is quoted as saying that
the Hawaiian revolution was simply job,
largely by men who bad "robbed them
selves rich" in this country and were
trying to do the same thing there. The
illogical feature Of the Cleveland Naval
Officers reported speech is in the asser-
ton, thence we have no sympathy with
them" The process of robbing oness elf
rich is information to the average citizen,
equently, when an expert tells about
1t the average citizen considers himself a
pupil sitting a the feet of master.
Ii Mr.. Cleveland's Naval Officer had con-
fined his remarks to recital of the details
by which men sometimes rob themselves
rich. and had illustrated his teachings
with an object lesson which will recur to
almost every ones mind. no exception
would have been taken to his assumption
of right to speak for the people of the
Pacific Coast What he does not know on
that kind of political practice is not worth
knowing. But when Mr.. Cleveland's Naval
Officer asks Eastern people 10 believe that
California is with the administration on
the financial and Hawaiian questions we
can only ask our Eastern friends TO re-
member that Mr.. Cleveland's Naval Officer
is Mr. Cleveland's Naval Officer.

T. II. Case a distilIer from Harrodsburg,

effects of the existence of the White Cap eie-
ment in portions of his State have set those
sections back twenty years Ill the mafch oil

CLEVELAND'S WAY.

The Seattle Post InteUigencer calls at
tention to the fact that President Cleve-
lands Hawaiian policy is but q repetition
Of the policy be pursued toward the Mica
ragua canal. The Seattle paper says:
In 1885 the Senate was about TO ratfy a
treaty with Nicaragua uHcer which the Nlcara-
qua canal would have been built by the United
States Government. President Cleveland's first
act after his Inauguration IN March, 1885, was
10 Withdraw thus treaty. He desired 10 rob the
Republican party and President Arthur or the
honor Of pushing this great project to compile
ton so lie withdrew the treaty, never returned
II and killed the best opportunity we ever had
TO build that great commercial waterway
The facts our northern contemporary
sets forth are indisputable, but the motive
may Tot be correctly OWNED. There is a
very general impression that Mr.. Cleve-
land Is too we'll convinced of his own SUI
periorily over his predecessors to desire to
rob any one of them of credit that was
properly his due. He probably has not
reversed policy because his immediate
predecessors had adopted it, but because
he did not approve of it. The political
opponents of Mr.. Cleveland generally
credit him with good intentions. His mis-.
takes are due to over-confidence in his own
judgment He does not admit that wis
dom abides anywhere else than in his own
mind. He was not jealous of President
Arthur or of President Harrison, but he
thought each had made mistake and he
proposed to correct it. The correction

nations may be invited to attend and take

in the last conference, be permitted to de-
termine its proceedings. The central idea
will be to form a union on bimetallic
basis which will compete with the gold
countries for the trade Of silyer-using coun-
tries. The plan seems feasible, even with
out the aid of tariff discrimination. which,
while possible, would be attended with
some difficulties. The fact that one CT the
ablest statesmen of Europe has perceived
the dangers which attend the demonetHa-
ton of silver warrants the hope that some
thing may soon be done in the way of res

in our town on last Monday morn
ing. Tommie Webb, while passing
through on his "wheelp enroutc to
Leonardsburg, happened to spy
what he called "crane" by the
roadside. Tommie became quite
excited and came running and bor-
rowed all the firearms lie could
find and started in search of the
monster bird. He also took with
him j. G. Hickman and Willard
Sheets for defendants. They were
gone for about half an hour, and
all returned disappointed and al
most to expire. They had nothing
to show for their hunt but old shot
guns loaded to their uttermost and,
by what we can learn, 1t must have
been "shite-poke" Tommie saw.
Tommie disappeared in the direc-
ton of Leonardsburg and nobody
has seen or heard tell of him since.

A Hurry from School TO the River,

The people of Logan were shock
ed to the depth of feeling Thurs
day evening by the hurried intelli-
gence from lip to lip that Walker
Peckham, thirteen year old son of
salesman Peckham of Stiers & Co.,
was drowned in the river. A throng
rushed to tho scene of disaster, and
only too true was the report. There,
upon the messy bank of old Hook
ing lay the little nude form of the
unfortunate child, II few moments
before instinct with life and hap
piness, imbuing joy from the rip
pling, laughing, happy river bath.
He had looked forward all the
warm day, while toiling away in
the dusty school room, to the pleas
ant casting Off of the rough gar
ments, and plunging onto the sooth-
ing bosom of the water; washing
away the chalky thoughts of the
school room brain, and replenish
with kind natures rich galore. A
lone companion schoolmate plung.
ed with him into the water, con-
, tested to reach the other side of
the stream, and on looking back,
his chum was fast sinking. Child
as he was he could but call for help
but succor was not near. He ran
up the river where other boys were
bathing, told them,in abated breath
the misfortune of his companion.
All rushed to the rescue but, alas,
too late. A larger boy dove often,
and at last bore to the shore the
lifeless form of the poor child. A
few moments before happy, laugh
ing, romping; now his little lips set
in death, his eyes closed in their
eternal sleep. The father of the
child was sent for, and none but
strong hearts could witness the sad
man bending over the lifeless form
of his only sou. Thirteen years oi
