In tho Niastesf,A Ceafary an interesting
account is given of tho true authorship OF
the coup d. sfat of December. 1851. by
which Louis Napoleon became ruler of
France. The whole plot was conceived
and executed by Moray. the half-broiher
OF Louis Napoleon. and by the rude, but
resolute, daring and merciiess soldier. ST.

sEATrIx. WEDNESDAY. sxrE rs


Ex-speaksr Reed. United States Senator
Lodge. Gov. Mckinley and ex-United
States Senator Warner Miller, OF New
York. all hold that there is small prospect
Of returning prosperity before 1895
The earliest date at which Mckinley
looks for prosperity Is March 4. 1885, and
IL will not come then, but be deferred TIL
March 4. 1897. unless Republican con-
sress Sc all be chosen this year. The Hon.
Warner Miller Is even less hopeful than
thia Instead Of looking forward. as Mr..
Depew says he does. "within year or two
20 IN era OF prosperity unequalled In the
history of the country" Mr. Miller pre-
diets that latter slight improvement
business Is going 10 be worse than ever, "
for these reasons: THE whole protective
tariff systcm has been disarranged, and l
do not see a. We shall be able to re-estab-
fish it much before 1900. because the
Democrats and Populists viii control the
United States senate. j therefore look
forward 10 several years of enforced econ-
omy and hard times"
Mr.. Mckinley agrees with Mr.. Reed
that the present tariff bill Is not final
isv, since lit Is q settlement which does
not settle anything" aud takes the
g.round that the only way by which TO
Fake IL . finality till the end of Cieve-
/ nd's term Is 10 elect Republican con-
gress this fall. A Democratic victory, he
says, would mean "further and longer
steps In the direction Of free trade
deeper cuts and moro deadly blows upon
our industrial lits"; while Republican
victory would mean that "during the
closing half Of Mr.. Cleveiand's admins
tration the enemies Of the protective sys.
tenn will be unable successfully to wage
war upon the prosperity of the country"

II is In silence we hear the voice OF
Truth. The temples and the marts or
men echo all night and day to the clamor
OF lies and shams and quackeries. But Ill
silence falsehoOd cannot live. You can
not float lie on silence. a lie has 70 be
pulled aloft, and kept from falling by
mems breath Leave a lie on the bosom
Of silence, and it sinks. truth floats
there fair and stately, like some stout
ship upon a deep ocean. Silence bnoys
her UP lovingly for all men 10 see. Not
until she has grown wornout and rotten,
and is no longer a truth, will the waters
of silence close over er.
Silence is the only real thing we can
lay hold of in this world Of passing
dI cams. Time is chadow that will van
ish with the twilight OF humanity; but
silence is n part Of the eternal. All things
that are true and lasting have been Taught
TO mems hearts by silence.
Among all nations there should be vast
temples raised where the people might
worship silence and listen to II, for II
is the voice Of God.
These fair churches and cathedrals that
men have reared around them throughout
the world have been built as homes Tor
mere creeds-thiS enc for Protestanlsm,
that one for Romanism, another for Mo-
hammt daLism. But Gods silence dweilS
in all alike, only driven forth at times
by the tinkling of bells and the num-
bling Of prayers: and in these fair tenn
pies Ii is coed TO sit awhile and have
comm union with her.-Jerome H. Jerome
