A Bullion Basis.

The Voice the prohibition organ we
mean-is unfair i'll its commodity-gold
and silver-basis plan of financial sys-
tenn. In the issue of September 18TH,
replying to criticism ofa correspondent,
the editor says
''In the meantime the question is,
whether currency eXchangeable in gold
or silver bullion, at their market value is
not vastly preferable to the present sys-
TEN, whereby we have virtually cur
rency resting upon gold alone"
Herein lies the error the Voice has
always been in. We have not System
resting upon gold alone" A System
i'll such grave matters must rest upon law
The law is the exact reverse, and demands
that the paper obligations of the govern
ment-both bonds and currency-sha11 be
redeemed in coin, meaning both in letter
and spirit, gold and silver coin. The
claim of gold basis was entirely the arbi-
trary acts of President Harrison, contin-
ued by President Cleveland, and has no
authority of law. Suppose the law should
be changed by substituting for coin"
the word bullion" and the choice left
to the demander which metal he would
take, as it is, under the abuse of law, being
done wouldn't these gold spectators
choose the gold as they now do? Ger
tainly they would The Toice may see
that its bullion position would involve no
change whatever while the law, like pro-
hibition laws, is not executed by the
officers in charge.
Even if this violation of the plain intent
of the law did not exist, the proposition
of the p0ice is eminently unfair. Silver
has been debased in price for two decades
by the demand for coinage being taken
from it, while gold has been held up by
this artificial demand which is denied to
silver.
If such lame financial system is to be
continued as commodity basis system,
we should include all the metals, to be
consistent and scientific. If the Hoice
will consider its bullion plan seriously it
will readily see that it would be no i1n-
provement on the present, which is made
worse by clear violation of the spirit of
the law.
The same reason that prohibition
doesn't prohibit will account for the gold
reserve" not staying in the treasury.
The law i'll either case is in control of
faithless executors.

A more hecnminnlv snt

A more becomingly SOFT or be-
witchingly beautiful article of neck
wear than the feather boa never
was devised nor one better calcu-
lated to hold favor.
Remember that the preserves
must not be kept in warm place
after they have been prepafed for
winter. Such a thing as an abso-
lutely air tight material being prac-
tically unknown, they should be
placed where it is cool and dry, for
If sealed even so closely they will
IN time heat through ana Torment
if kept where it is warm.
Remember during the house
cleaning to polish plate glass a4a
remove slight scratches by rubbing
the surface gently first with a clean
pad and afterwaGd with 2 similar
pad covered over with cotton velvet
which has been charged with fine
rougue. The surface will, under
this treatment, acquire polish of
great brilliapcy, quite free from
scratches.

Government Banks.

That powerful advocate of honest
money and honest government, the Phil
adelphia Item, closes an able article with
the following crisp sentence ''The Item
advocates the Government, and the soon
er the better, taking iata its own hands
the distribution of the Nations money,
by system of Government Banks that
will loan on good security at cost, mat
ter OF less than one-half of one per cent
per annum, ana thus abolish usury
altogether"
This is exactly what the MIDLAND
JOURNAL has been battling for, 10 these
many days. We have no patience with
the old grannies who ihfest .i,e Peoples
party and are afraid of hurting the party
by boldly saying TO the people that this is
the financial system the Peoples party is
organized to estahlish, The next national
platform must say this, in its financial
plank and say it so plainly that a wayfarer
may rot err in the meaning, and let the
old gfannies go to the old parties, if they
can't advance, and get 9nt of the way of
better men.

A new lining is made of American

different appearance when dyed,
the pattern showing stripes of plain

Remember to have the heaters
and ranges thoroughly cleaned in
September if they have not been
used during the summer. A steady
heat for baking cannot be expected
from a stove that is imperfectly
cleaned and choked with clinkers.

Starching a la Franchise.

After your table napkins have
been washed and dried, try starch
ing them with boiling water instead
of starch. Have your irons scorch-
ing hot, plunge one napkin at a
time into boiling water, between
cloths; shake it and wiring it out
quickly as possible, iron with irons
hot enough to burn it were it not
wet. Put great deal of weight on
your iron, which must be manipu-
lated very rapidly. This is the way
they do up table linen in France,
and impart to it such beautiful
gloss and stiffness.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
A TATE HUrlMING BIRD.
Here is Delightful bit for the Little
Folks.


Folks.
This curious incident is reported
by the Lewiston (Me. Journal: A
tame humming bird which has been
domiciled at Mr.. and Mrs. Whit
tens, near the camp ground station
at Old Orchard, all summer, is still
an object of wonder and interest to
many people who call to watch the
movements of this diminutive pet.
The bird has become perfectly
domesticated, and has been allowed
to fly in and out of the house at
pleasure, by a window that has
been left open for it. 1t is one of
the family, and enjoys its privileges
as such. By night it perches on a
piece of clothesline strung in the
kitchen, and on rainy days futters
about among the plants and flowers
in the house. Recently it dis
appeared and was gone Is days,
but one morning its hostess heard
the familiar tap of the tiny bill on
the window pane, and admitted
''birdy," and it has since remained
with her. The little fellow shows
as much jealousy as a spoiled child,
and flies to the window with
evident demonstrations of displea-
sure when another humming bird,
perhaps its mate, occasionally ap-
pears at the outside of the glass.

The Silver Cause i'm PHILADELPHIA.

The plutocrat dailies are using the bluff
game against the silver movement more
desperately as the cause of silver becomes
more aggressive and extends. In Phila-
delphia, right on the portals Of Mamnon's
temple, the advocates of reconciliation
of silver have been for many weeks car
rying on series of open air meetings
which steadily increase i'll interest with
the public. The evening Item, one o.!
the largest circulating dailies in that city,
is powerfully supporting the missionary
work of the financial propagandists In
his speech few evenings ago, Mr.. Dulin
said in his clear and forcible style:
who are the advocates of the single
gold standard? Nobody but the bankers,
the Shylocks and the people who live,
like leeches, on the sweat of your brow
and mine. Is it not plain to you that
what they advocate is against your inter
est, and it is mistaken idea to think that
they would advocate the interest of the
toiling millions for the way they have
obtained their wealth has been by care
fully worded acts of legislation to amass
the enormous wealth they possess. What
you produce to-day in wealth is worth
just as much as it was fifty years ago, but
you do not receive it. 1t doesn't 90 into
the pockets of the manufacturers, the
mechanics, the farmer, or any pro-
Queer, but it goes into the Golfers of the
money changer, the men who control the
volume of money.
I'm part you and are both to blame
for these conditions and l know that
when once you understand you will, like
free-born American citizens, overthrow
this plHtocratic form of anarchy by your
ballots. Il is in fact through the ballot
the only way we have to overthrow the
hydra head of anarchy THAI is raising
itself. There are two kinds of anarchists,
the most dangerous of which is the an
archist of wealth, who overrides all law
and breeds the anarchist of the bomb,
who, in his ignorance, feels the sting, but
knows not whence it comes. The chic
OF all anarchists to-day is the money
power. II is a4r duty as American citi
zens to crush forever, by opr ballots,
these conditions, which firmly believe
we will do"

The United Lines Company Now the Prop
erty of Mr.. Mackay.

NEW YORK, July 4.-The United Lines
Telegraph Company was organized on
the wreck OF the old Bankers and Mer-
charts Telegraph Line Company. which
left 20 its successors an Inheritance Of
litigation and competition 50 keen that
profits were reduced to a minimum. The
judgment filed to-day represents the diff
ference between the sum realized from
the sale of the United Lines in last No
vember-&D0, 0o0-and the amount due on
two mortgages. one of 100000, and an
other for $4,000. The sale practically
represented the desire of the Postal Tcle-
graph Company to get control OF the
main line OF the United Lines, running
from New York TO Washington. The
FIRST mortgage of $l.2oOOO0 covered that
line. and therefore when the -.ovember
sale took place, only $4,000 were realized.
John w. Mackay and his colleagues. In
order TO realize their wish. secured the
second mortgage, and made the Farm
ers Loan and Trust Company its trus-
tees. Edward g. Plat. representing Mr..
Nackay. took charge OF the United Lines.
and up 10 the present time had been OPP
Grating Il under lease. Now, however,
the Postal Telegraph Companys llaes are
complete. and the United Lines will be
absorbed by the former company.

A Blood-Stained Hat.

CHARLESTON. w. VA. July There
Is great excitement in the neighborhood
OF the village OF Poca over the mysterious
disappearance OF J. l.. McClung. super
intendent of the Poca River Boom and
Lumber Company. Last Saturday night
he left home to cross the river for a
few hours. and has not been seen since.
His hat, crushed and bearing blood stains,
and his boat were found Monday. In
vestigatlon shows that his books are
IN good shape, and that he has quite a
large bank account here. A search OF
the river and the country for several
miles about his home is being made.
