1t is competent for this country to
provide for the use Of silver or any
other metal in its coinage, but it
than that which it has as a COM
modify, except as it uses it's tyran-
nical power to force creditors to
take less than the contract calls
for; that is, without being particeps
criminis in fragrant dishonesty. A
policeman using his club on one
man to force him to give more or
less of his money to another is a
/ definition in action of any legal ten
der act. If this congress would
simply repeal the legal tender
clauses in its currency acts, leaving
all coins and their representatives
to float on their merits, receiving all
alike in payment of taxes, there
might be free coinage of all the sill
yer produced here or anywhere
without injury and with marked
benefit.
In the absence of such sensible and
honest action-and it will remain
absent as long as politicians and
not statesmen make the majority in
congress only other just and
honest way to utilize silver in the
currency is that long since suggest
ed by the GLOBE, and presented in
substance in Senator Jones' bill,
the free and unlimited exchange Of
silver bullion at the minis for
standard dollars on the basis Of the
market value Of the bullion. This
will remove the just complaint Of
denial to silver of access to the
mintS; it will remove the claim that
the cessation of mintage caused the
fall in price of silver; it will satisfy
the valid objection to free coinage
at 16 to l that it gives protection to
the silver producer; it will remove
the just complaint that the govern
ment denies to one of the products
of its people access to a proper mar
ket; and it will leave silver free to
win, under the operation of the de-
mand of the arts and of coinage. it's
legitimate and natural value.
Then, and then only, will the
government be in position
to use its only rightful func-
ton, and readjust the ratio
OF coinage to that fixed by the COM
merical world. Meantime no one
should be fooled by this palaver
about an international monetary
conference.

COMEDY OF ERRORS.
How He Discovered His Wife Had
Sold the Old Dress.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Mrs. B. was summoned to the door
one morning by an old clothes man,
but she resolutely told him that she
had nothing for him, until he took out
an old chamois skin purse and, open
ing it, said:
Look, lady. I gif you gold for any
old tings what you got to SELL
This was too much temptation, and
soon she had the contents of her
wardrobe spread out for his inspec-
ton. Her heart misgave her, though,
for her husband had positively forbid
den her ever to sell any of her old
clothes. She only hoped he would new
er find out, and with the money she
could buy such fine new ones.
There was one gown that she did
hesitate to part with. 1t was a flow
cred tea gown, with big bow at the
side, and long sash ends of gorgeous
ribbons, and Mr. B. particularly liked
that dress because she had served
afternoon tea in it for him often dur
ing their engagement. However, the
man offered a good price for 1t, and 1t
went with the rest.
When Mr.. B. came home in the even
ing his wife had a guilty look as if
something lay on her conscience But
she ascribed it to a headache, and the
old clothes deal remained a profound
secret.
week or two later Mrs. B. asked her
husband to do the marketing She usu-
ally attended to this herself, but she
was going to have company, and

POLITICAL PAREGORIC.

All this talk about an interna-
tional agreement to unite in pulling
silver up out Of the hole in which
two forces, decentralization and pro-
duction, have chucked it, is but the
soft, low lullaby Of a mother to her
colicky baby. 1t is nothing but a
politicians paregoric to lull the
pangs of discomfort until he can
make some dextrous turn. We have
never taken stock in it for the very
sufficient reason that we believe
that no combination Of governments
can do what one cannot, and no one
can create value by simple fiat.
Should they all agree to compel
creditors to accept fifty cents for
the dollar due them, there would
still remain the vastly larger ele-
ment of sellers who could not be
obliged to accept fifty cents for their
dollars worth of wares, and who
would make a double scale of prices.
one for gold payment and the other
a fiuctuating one for silver payment.
To Harcourt's speech, in SUBJ
stance that England would offer no
objections should Germany, France
and the United States agree on free
coinage, LIE Temps says:
Many thanks for this poIiteness. Do
you expect to see France reopen its
mint to the white metal and allow our
gold reserve to cross the channel =?
Either there will be Yree coinage in
England, or France, adequately sup
piled with gold and silver to meet all
conditions, will maintain its present
admirable position. Now is the time.

That Silver Convention.

Hon. s. B. Nelson, of Luyerne is
registered at the Merchants. Mr.. Mel
son is a member of the Second district
democratic congressional COMMITTEES
and a close observer of passing events.
In the GLOBE article of last Sunday
regarding proposed free silver con-
Vention. he said yesterday:
Everywhere 1 hear a great deal of
talk in favor of free silver. On the
trains 1t is the principal topic of con-
Versation when men discuss public

position for a radical change in the

THE LETTER H.
Men Use 1t for an Initial in Names
When Amy Other Would Do.

When Amy Other Would Do. 81.
New York. Sum-, ..,. *.
Its a. peculiar thing" said the
knowing clerk in hotel which is noted
more for it's hospitality than it is for it's
inquisitiveness into the character of it's
guests; tits peculiar thing the fond
ness that the average man has for the
letter H as an initial. Now 1 don't sup
pose thatsA there are more middle
names beginning with H than with any
other letter-M or r or S or B, but
nine men out of ten, if they are in
doubt about a middle initial, decide on
H. Now, my middle initial is w, but
for every letter get, except from peo-
pie l know well, who have my initial
right, 1 get three in which it is put
down H. It's very seldom, too, that
you'll find a man with sufficient
strength of character to leave out the
middle initial of the man he's writing
to if he doesn't know it; so lie claps in
an H and lets it go.
There seems to be prevail
ing superstition that a man isn't Just
what he ought to he unless he has a
middle name. and that the chances are
very strong that that name begins with
the eighth letter of the alphabet.
Now, here's another instance. Cast
your eyes over this page of our regis
ter. That is mostly late guests who
drop in here late at night and sign
names other than their own. See the
result: Charles H. jones' John H.
Smith, George H. Robinson "A. H.
Brown F.. w. Brown, and so on.
There are ten names on that page the
middle initial of which is H. Now
that letter isn't any easier to write
than any other letter; it certainly ISM
any more ornamental. and 1 can't see
that in any respect it has an advantage
over the rest of the alphabet Yet the
human race sticks to it with a fidelity
worthy Of a more important cause.
I'd like to have some wise man tell me

manage during our busy time to lay

back rider. Moving about as we do,
from place to place, we can't deposit
our savings in bank, and if we should
undertake to keep them with us-well,
they wouldn't last. We are paid week
ly, and on each pay day, after laying
aside what he expects to need
for the next week, the pru-
dent performer invests the rest of
his weekly earnings in a postofice
money order, made payable to himself
at his home address. The duplicate or
der which the postmaster gives him he
keeps in hand or mails to his home. At

AT THE THEATERS.

Possibly in the last generation the
theater-goings public of St. Paul have
not had such dramatic treat as has
been offered them this week at the
metropolitan in that beautiful play
Shore Acres" by James A. Herne. To
those who have begun to- deplore the
stage as Sh1p-wreckeG, ETC., it should
be a pleasure to see a presentation
like shore Acres" The entire press.
not only in st. Paul, but everywhere
the piece has been produced, has been
unanimous in its praise of Mr.. Hernes
greatest production. The engagement
is for the balance of the week, with a
matinee on Saturday afternoon. AS
Lent will be- over Saturday, the man
agement, approaching the fact that
many of the best patrons have been
unable to attend on account of their
religious belief, has arranged to give
performance on Sunday night.
In these days of sensational adver-
Using it is refreshing to see one star
disdain any fame not to be obtained
through entirely legitimate means
Della Fox is a pleasing exception to
the rule, and her really phenomenal
success is all the more gratifying be-
cause Of it. Her pretty little head is
wise one. She has aneXtraordinary
strong company, comprising as it does
Jefferson D'Angelis, Paul Arthur,
Charles DUNCAN, John Dudley, Villa
Knox, Hattie Williams, Marie Celestie,
May Levigne and others of almost
equal renown. In addition, she carries a
chorus of fifty voices, all the scenery
and properties, and an altogether fun
ny and delightful musical opera called
1.-THE Little Trooper" She will play
a brief engagement of three nights at
the Metropolitan opera house, COM
mencing Monday.
The stock company was we'll patron
lied yesterday at the Grand, 1.-THE
Jilt' serving to attract large audi
ences at both the afternoon and even
ing performances. The play is beauti-
fully put on and admirably acted and
ought to engage the attention of the
most discriminating theater-goer. Dur
ing the second week of the stock sea-
son, which begins Sunday, April q, the
company will prtsent two bills. Au-
gustin Days comedy, Nancy & Com
pany," will occupy the stage during
the first part of the week, and on Fri
day night it will be displaced by Little
Lord Fauntleroy," with Annie Blancke
in the title role.
Morrison's powerful dramatic COM
pany will produce an elaborate scenic
and dramatic version of Goethe's
beautiful Faust at the Grand opera
house during the week beginning Sun
! day, April IA. The piece will be mount
ed with magnificent scenic embellish-
ments and startling scenes that make
the poor, miserable mortal feel his
weakness when compared to the power
of the immortal. In obtaining the fine
scenic effects, the power of electricity
is taken advantage of. There are many
electric surprises and mechanical nov
elites, making it, as a whole, one of
the most elaborate and brilliant spec
tacles of it's kind ever witnessed. The
production here will be complete in
every detail.

members of a supreme court, five of
