I would notice other puerile, insin-
cere and absurd objections to the old
silver dollar, and an ample currency,
for one involves the other. Because
we can't have a sufficient paper cur
rsncy based on gold alone, and we have
not yet outgrown the idea that all pa
per currency must be based on the
metals. Again:
In opening our mints to the silver OF the
world, we do not engage to buy an ounce Of
silver. 1t would be on the principle Of custom
ilour mills. The owner Of wheat would take
his grain to the mill and have it ground into
fiour. The miller would return to him the pro-
duct Of his own wheat, less the toll for the
work of converting the wheat into -four. So IL
would be with our mints. Both silver and
gold would be received for coinage, and he
who brought silver bars would return with the
same bars, except that they would be ofWidely
different form, shape and dimension. And so
Il would be with he who brought gold bars.
The grist would always be the legitimate and
natural product Of the grain that was poured
into the hopper. To be sure the silver bars
would then have q value exactly equal to that
oP gold, and goldwould be on an exact parity
with silVer-that is to say, sixteen ounces Of
silver would be permanently the equal Of one
ounce Of gold, and one ounce Of gold would
be permanently the equal Of sixteen ounces OF
silver. There would be harmony Of values
because then the government wouldn't fondle
one OF the metals and spit upon and despise
the other.
And It Is q mistake to suppose that II our
mints were opened to the world the silver OF
the world would come here for coinage. 1t
would not increase its value to have 1t minted
And then carried back in its new shape to
countries that were on a gold basis. France
Mexico, China, India, and the other silver and
semi silver countries have mints Of their OWE
and would not need to send their silver here
Even in the event that silver were remOne
tized che world over, it ia not at all likely tina
our mints would have many offerings othe
than OF the silver produced in this country.
But what if they did, and the silver
was left hereP 1t would only be left in

Steve Elkins is sample Of your
''practi cal politicians" who believes
that ''politics is the science of exigen-
cies" and that it is all importance to
''rub up against the practical side of
things" Steve is out in Colorado,
''looking after his mining interests"
the dispatches say, and tells the people
there that silver can afford to yield
something to the goldites for fear Of
frightening them away. In other
words, Steve advises straddle Of some
kind, another of those platforms that
'keep the word of promise to the ear
and break it to the hope" This is al
ways the advice of those practical
politicians" whether Populists, demo
Gratis or repu blicsns. They are etern-
ally trying to avoid an open, square
fight on sharply antagonistic lines of
principle. They are ever endesVoring
to invent some plan to let the gun go
off easy by pulling the trigger slow.
Such fellows have been the curse Of
American politics. They are not lead
ers, in the best sense, but trimmers
and traders. BY preserving the har-
mony of the party" they hope to main
tain parity of the offices. To get in
is the objective point of their whole
lives, the handspring of their endeav-
ors. If dissected it would be found
that these chaps have white liVers,
Indis.rubber backbones, and hearts

sheep. -Nonconformist, May 8.

A motherly soul is Thomas F. Bay

lion. Bsyard and the lion roar in
gentle unison on most mundane themes.
The precious pair are understood to
prance in Piccadilly on the queens
birthday for the edihcation Of doves.
When Mr.. Bsysrd finds time to think,
the milk Of human kindness gushes in
streams from all his pores and the lion
enjoys bath. The following brand of
milk gushed from the ambassadorisl
panegyrist of Albion only last week,
and Bsyard's canine listener thundered
in approval:
''No state interference or oficialism
can deal effectively with the relief of
suffering humanity. The forces OF
personal benevolence and individual
Kindness must be the instruments OF
such work. They bind together all
classes of community. They consti-

agreement on this subject with a Euro
pean government, declaring that Cuba's
fate, aside from the rights in the island
possessed by Spain, was purely an Amer
lean concern. and that the United States
could not view any outside interference
with Indifference. Whatever the pres
ent administration may think about it,
Mr.. Everett expressed the opinion Of
the American people. Sooner or later,
as Spain grows weaker, Cuba will break
away from that government. When it
does. Cuba will naturally gravitate to
the United States either by annexation
or under its protection. When that time
comes, no European government will be
consulted. This government has not in
terfered with them in their annexations
and their protectorates in the East An
American administration should not per-
NIT European governments to interfere
with our disposition of Cuba as Cubans
and the United States shall deem salts
factory to both.
If the insurgents should continue to
show strength in Cuba, there is no rea-
son why the United States should not
accord to them the rights of belligerents.
Spain could not object, because it's gov
eminent recognized the Confederacy at
the outset of our civil war, even before
the rebels had won any victories.

THE FUTURE OF CUBA.

Present indications point to the sue
cess of the insurgents in Cuba. For
months they have been developing a
outset They undoubtedly represent the
real desire of the intelligent residents of
the island who are not Spanish officials.
Few Cubans desire that Cuba shall re-
main a province Of Spain simply to be
taxed to support a government which
cannot help the island and its interests
In this country. public sentiment is
unanimously and earnestly in favor OF
the insurgents. so much so that If our
people were not restrained by a sense
of what is due 20 other governments
they would espouse the cause of the Gu
bans, furnishing men and money so
generously that the Spanish army would
be swept out of existence in thirty days
At the present time the insurgents re-
the American people, but moral sup
port, while it may inspire courage and
zeal for a time, cannot take the place
of battalions in campaign.
The Cuban leaders, ii is said, are not
in favor of an independent government
for that island, but favor annexation tc
the United States. That would be ar
alliance dictated by commercial consid-
erations and proximity. New York, more
than any city outside of Cuba. is known

resort. The inhabitants of Cuba are

A WONDERFUL CHANGE.
What Rain and Sunshine Have Ac-
cOmplished for Nebraska in a Year.

LOUP CITY. Neb.. Aug 16.-An incident
occurred in this place to-day which marks
in way nothing else could have done the
difference in the condition of things which
exists throughout the State now and that of
the same time last year. Then disaster
greater than words can tell had occurred
Starvation practically stared the people in
the face. Now they have not barns or
corn cribs big enough TO hold the product
which bountiful nature has provided for
them. In the very room from which five
hundred people had distributed to them all

them by their more fortunate brethren in
the EasN and on which they were dependent
for subsistence, a reception was to-day
given the Burlington's land agents excur-
sion party. and feast of Nebraska prod
ucts spread before them good enough for a
KING. The hosts of the occasion embraced
ene opportunity of expressing in words
which came from the heart their apprecia-
tion or the aid extended then. while they
pointed with pride to the walls of the room,
nung with some Of this years products of
S H heldS, and assured their guests that
come to feed the world. 1t was no idle
BOAST. The party to which the words were
aoaressed had, during the previous two
T SaAs. sraveied over more than lOI miles Of
evidences of abundance-cornfields as luxuri-
ant as any which ever waved In the breeze
nay, wheat and oats stocks already har-
vested which told of the richest abundance;
pastures over which fine herds of cattle
roamed at will; orchards, the trees in which
were laden with fruit. They learned that
Nebraska's grain crop of the year will not
be less than 10000 bushels. or this Il, Co.,
600 bushels will be Of wheat, so, 600 900 bushels
laneous crops. such as hay, alfalfa, pota-
toes, beets, etc., are equally as large. Every
thing indicates that Nebraska will this year
have one OF the largest harvests In the
States history.

Hardly a day passes that does not
bring some incident to show the slight
regard by foreign officials for citizens of
the United States under the present ad-
ministration. The latest evidence of this
is proved in the arrest of four natural
lied citizens in Prague by the Austrian
authorities and their Imprisonment be-
cause they invited ex-Mayor Noonan, of
ST. Louis, to make Fourth of July
speech to them and their friends. Such a
request of such a person as the Mayor
may not indicate discrimination on the
part, of these visitors who were long
time American citizens, but to hold such
a meeting and listen is right which be-
longs to all citizens and subjects while
visiting or living in other countries than
their own. The Austrian authorities
would not have molested a party Of Eng
lishmen for celebrating a national holi-
day, but in the case of American citizens
they forbade the speaking and locked
up the promoters of the meeting, who are
American citizens.

A st. Louis paper says that an unassum-
ing country girl, only eighteen years of
age, and without the advantages of any
except a common English education, rose
in faith-healing camp meeting near that
city few nights ago and declared that the
divine power had so blessed her with the
gift of tongues that she could speak and
write seven different languages. In proof
of her assertion the paper says: "She read
numerous Scripture lessons and translated
them into two AFRICAN DIALECTS before the
audience under the>big tent, and she spoke
in German. French. Latin, Greek and some
other languages In the absence of any
large body of water in Missouri this will
do instead Of a sea serpent story. but the
unassuming country girl will doubtless
take good care not to let any one acquaint-
ed with a dead or foreign language hear
her attempt to speak it.

Love I'm Town.

They had no partings In the wood,
No meetings in the lonely lane;
Beside the sea they never stood, fis
Nor watched the sunset after rain
Their pathway was the busy street,
Their trysting place the office stair;
And yet, know, joy more complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
And why should rustic love alone
Be decked with all poetic art:
These dull gray city walls have known
The beating Of a nations heart.
TIE weary workers come and CO.
The secret of each soul Is dumb:
Yet, still, at times a radiant glow
Across their wayworn lives may come
And these, my happy lovers, knew
Hard toll, small wage, and humble fare
The skies they saw were never blue,
But love made gladness everywhere.
His step upon the office floor
Was sweet to her as robins song;
Her face, that passed the open door.
For him made sunshine all day long.

partisanship on the part of federal Of
ficeholders have been ignored in Iowa
during the past few months. He COM
plains that the federal officeholders have
made themselves very obnoxious by their
activity in securing delegates to the late
Democratic State convention in favor of
sound money. Clearly, Mr.. Evans does
not understand the President so well as
ex-postmaster as he might as postmaster
drawing salary. Activity is pernicious
only when it is exercised against the
purposes of the President-a fact which
those holding the federal offices seem to
understand. They also seem to know
that activity is commendable in the ex-
IRENE when put forth to promote the de-
sires Of the administration.

Again the Secretary of Agriculture has
informed the American people that Great
Britain purchases far more of our agri-
cultural products than all other coun--
tries. He would have US believe that
this purchase is made as a special favor
to us. and he, since he was dined and
wined by a British commercial club
when the late Chairman Wilson made
his suicidal speech, has been the most
servile of American toadies. Why does
Great Britain purchase large part Of
our agricultural products? Because her
people want them or her merchants de-
sire them to sell TO other nations at a
profit. If Great Britain could get them
elsewhere cheaper. not bushel of wheat
or pound of meat would she purchase of
u.s. The Anglomaniac Secretary seems
not to realize this fact, but accepts it
as the result of the genuine good will
and goodness of the British merchant.
