TIE Dr1r OF RrSLNESS MEN


In his address at the dedication of the
Detroit Chamber of Commerce last
week, which has attracted wide atten-
ton as n most valuable contribution to
the cause of sound money, Comptroller
of the Currency Eckels urged
that it is the duty of bust
ness men not to be unmindful
of the condition that confrOnts them.
1t is to be apprehended that too gen
orally the men engaged in trade and
commerce are not giving that close and
careful attention and study to the free
silver issue which its great Importance
merits. A large majority of them, there
is reason to believe. are so preoccupied
with their business affairs that they are
not disposed to give even little time
to serious investigation and thoughtful
deliberatiOn upon this paramount Ques
ton, and therefore what ought to be a
powerful and commanding influence in
behalf of a sound and stable currency
is not being eXerted. 1t is not to be
doubted that n vast majority of the
substantial business men of the country
are opposed to free and unlimited coin
age of silver by the United States alone
but it is necessary to give due weight to
this fact that such business men shall
make their opinion known and this can
be done through their organizations
which exist in every considerable city of
the country. Surely no class of the
people ought to take greater interest in
this subject than the men of commerce
and trade, for as Mr.. Eckels said there
is no commerce where faith is wanting
in country's medium of exchange and
trading is reduced to mere betting, as
would result from the free silver policy
as now presented.
The forces of fiat silver currency. said
Mr.. Eckels, can be permanently eradi-
Gated as factors worthy of consideration
and sources of discomfort and financial
| loss in but one way and that lies
| through the gateway of sound monetary
education. Who are so well qualified to
contribute to such an education as the
practical business men of the country?
At present the discussion of this ques-
| llpl Is btlIlS CdIIltu oll CnlcHN ny lHt
politicians. 1t is most desirable that the
voice of the solid business men of the
country be heard regarding it, and
there can be no doubt that an express
| sion from this source such as it is pos
sible to get through commercial bodies
would exert a powerful influence on the
side of Il sound currency. The free sill
yer propaganda is actively and zealously
at work 1t aims at revolutiOnizing the
country's existing monetary system and
| bringing the United States to the silver
standard. 1t is urgently necessary that
all the elements opposed to this danger
Gus policy should make themselves felt
and among these elements none can
WELD wider or more valuable influ-
enec than the business men.

Why Canadian, DO Not Favor Annexation.

Jonn George IOurlnOt IN the fOruin
At present, assuredly, the people of
Canada can see no reason for a political
union" in the weaknesses and evils of the
purely democratic system of their neigh
bors When Canadians are invited even on
the floor of congress itself ITO cast in their
lot with their own continent" and are as
sured that they shall have all that the
continent can give" they refuse to consider
the offer seriously, not because they have
no interest in the progress of their Ameri-
can cousins, who are also the inheritors of
English institutions. but because they know
that they are working out those institutions
on principles far more conducive to the
pure and effective administration of public
affairs-that in this respect. at all events,
they are already in advance of a great and

Whoever heard of any great public
work in this country costing less than
the original estimates? Yet our cable
dispatches report the announcement by
the German imperial secretary Of the
interior that the actual expenses for
the construction of the Baltic & North
sea canal now nearing completion will
be 100000 marks less than the esti-
mate. This is remarkable showing
in favor of the efficiency of work under
the German government. 1t means
that the administration of this great
public Improvement has been in the
hands of honest officials, and that
frauds and jobs have been effectively
prevented. What the German govern
ment can do every other government
can do under similar conditions. The
difficulty with us is always to obtain
men to take charge of public enter
prises who are ut once capable and of
strict integrity. When the people of the
United States insist upon public officials
whom they would trust with their own
private business they will have public
work done both well ana economically.

4 LIVELY INSURRECTION.

Several weeks ago it was announced
by the Spanish authorities in Cuba
that the insurrection had been sup
pressed and all that remained to be
done was to dispense a few guerilla
bands which We're simply engaged in
plundering the people. 1t was given
out by the predecessor of General Cam
pos that the insurgent leaders had
been killed or captured and that the
distinguished soldier sent by Spain to
put down the revolt would upon his
arrival in Cuba find nothing to do. 1t
Is possible that the former governor
general of the island really believed
that such was the case, but subsequent
events have shown how greatly mis-
taken he was. The latest adyices show
the Cuban insurrection to be very
lively affair and giving promise to
continue so for some time to come.
The foremost insurgent leader, who was
reported to have been killed. is not
only living, but is very actively en-
gagged in stirring up the Cubans to re-
volt. 1t is stated that the insurgents
are full of confidence. and that they
are keeping the Spaniards busy. There
appears 10 be no reason TO doubt the
general correctness of this information,
which is furnished by newspaper cor
respondents.
There is one feature of the latest
news from Cuba that will be likely to
intensity American interest in the sit
uation there and also American sym
pathy with the insurgents, and that is
the report Of the ill-treatment Of two

MOTHER'S SONG.



When the thrushes cease their singing and
the wild bees leave the clover;
When the glory of the sunset fades. and
leaves the heavens pale;
When above the hill and mountains misty
shades of twilight hover,
And the discordS of the daytime far
away in distance fail;
When the rath wheat gently rustles, and
the timid aspens ishiver,
And the west winds signing softly scent
from sleepingl flowers bring;
When the peewits,, cry together plaintiveiy
by brook and river
Then it is that hear the old song that
my mother used to sing.
Jl
Round my neck IIfeel the pressure OF her
fingers warm and slender
And in sleeping dreams and waking
have felt IL many times,
Just as when of old j listened to that ditty,
quaint and tender,
Till the boughs that waved above us
caught the cadence of the rhymes;
And my heart throbs loud and quickly as I
Youth is mine, tits hopes and visions,
dreams and plans are mine again;
Earth is fairer, life is sweeter-ay and
heaven itself seems nearer
To me l list in fancy to that ne'er for
