WEDNESDAY. MARCH G. 1895.
For a New Party.

Members Of the Bime.allic league
who have been consulting in Wash
ington announce the organization of
a silver party. Its platform is the
free, and unlimited coinage of silver
at sixteen to one, with the added pro-
vision that the government shall issue
all the currency of the country.
Unless something decisive is accom-
plished within year, it is strongly
probably that silver will have organ
lied work in its behalf at the polls
when the next president of the United
States is elected. We are not prepared
TO say that the rally will be around the
banner that has just been flung to the
breeze-it is too early to say what the
wisest course will be. And it is too
early for the selection of candidate
for the office of president. Mr.. Sibley
of Pennsylvania is sound on the silver
question, but whether he is an avail
able candidate for the presidency is
an open question.
We think, too, that the restoration
of silver may be accomplished without
tearing to pieces the national banking
oloIcn uuuSI NhiCH BOOu-euOuRH
form of paper currency is furnished;
a platform involving a plank with
that provision would hamper a silver
party, we think, rather than help it.
From what has lately been said and
done in Washington, one is led TO in
fer that several of silver's best friends
are not in the movement for the new
party.
However, the advocates of free coin
age have put in the manifesto which
the STANDARD prints this morning
much that will be deemed TO be strictly
, orthodox by the friends of restoration.
Whatever the next eighteen months
may bring, this is the day and the
hour for the Inauguration of a cam
paign of education. The constituent
cies in the East need, first of all, to be
instructed-they have not learned the
doctrine; they have not had the truth
broken TO them. If the Bimetallic
league sends intelligent speakers
through the eastern states. the result
will be general awakening, and the
friends of free coinage will multiply.
That is the right way to begin a cru
SADIE for silver; let us hope that a
campaign along that line will be
speedily started.

separate engine but all three cylinders
together make up one huge triple expan-
sion engine. Since there are three of
these. one for each propeller the Minneapo-
lis has in all nine engines. The middle
engine is the farthest aft, because the
sharpness of the stern brings the middle
propeller about Is feet further aft than
the other two, which are on each side of
the hull. Looking aft from this middle
engine room, one sees through small
door long, low, narrow room, extending
aft some Is feet. Through this runs the

shafts for the two other propellors run
along either side of the middle engine

engines that turn these two shafts are on
either side of the vessel just forward of

rooms.
Forward of these are the sboiler rooms.

protected by heavy armor, the Minneapo-
lis was built originally with deck like
the back OF turtle Above this is the
superstructure which is visible to the
eye, and which is not arlnored. This
concealed deck protects the machinery
and all the vital's Of the ship. This pre-
vents the probability of the disabling of
her motive power, while her speed is no5
diminished by heavy arlnor above water.
She is SO feet longer than the New York,
and six feet narrower. Thus her lines are
all designed for speed and the idea is that
she can run away from stronger vessels
and easily oyertake and capture weaker
ones.
Since she was built for speed it is with
special interest that one descends into
the dungeons under water where live and
labor the mighty giants of propulsion
If one is accompanied by Chief Engineer
Windsor, the visit to the home of the
giants is invested with additional attrac-
tions.
On the way down the iron ladders you
go through the armored deck of this pro-
tected cruiser. Over the engine room in
places this deck consists of huge graf ings
which would protect the engines and yet
serve to admit light.

CINE room, you are IS feet under water
There are three propellers and three great
engines, each in it's separate room. The

Easter Eggs.

The use of eggs on Easter Day,
sometimes called Pasche, or paste
eggs, has come down to the present
time. Eggs were held by the Egypt
ians as sacred emblem of the reno
vation of mankind after the Deluge.
The Jews adopted them to suit the
circumstances of their history as a
type of their departure from the land
of Egypt they We're also used in the
feast of the Passover.
Hyde, in his description of Oriental
sports, tells of one with eggs among
the Christians of Mesopotamia on
Easter Day, and forty days afterwardi:
"rhe sport consists in striking
their eggs one against another, and
the egg that first breaks is won by the
owner of the one that struck it. I'M
mediately another egg is pitted against
the winning egg, and so on till the
last egg wins all the others which
their respective owners shall have
before won."
In Germany, sometimes instead Of
eggs at Easter, an emblematical print
is occasionally presented. One OF
these is preserved in the print-room OF
the British Museum. Three hens are
represented as upholding basket, in
which are placed three eggs ornament
ed with representations illustrative of
the Resurrection over the centre egg
the "Agnus Del" with a chalice
representing faith the other eggs
bearing the emblems of charity and
hope.-Ladies Home Journal.
