he rose and started off at good pace
in the direction opposite to that taker
by the rest of his fellows, and soon
their screams and thunderings had died
away in the distance.
We wondered where My Lord the
Elephant intended to convey us,
whether to his native jungles or to the
him, but found it impossible without
the help Of the usual ankus, or goad,
so we confined our efforts to keeping
our balance and staying on his back, a
somewhat difficult task without the aid
of harness or howdah.
Briefly told, his strong, steady pace
never failed for over ten hours, until
we entered the post again. Our APP
proach had been deserted from afar,
and every living soul had turned out
to view the spectacle. When it was
perceived that 1t was Mowcha, dear
old Mowcha, who was bringing us
back in safety, hearty cheer broke
from all Threats, a cheer Sec My Lord
the Elephant. The children clapped
their hands and shrieked for joy, and
even the soldiers shared the general
enthusiasm.
We gave Ny Lord the Elephant
feast such as never elephant had had
before, but he did not seem to enjoy
the dainties spread before him SO much
as the moment when the howdah was
placed on his back and he was led
forth, surrounded by the children,
whom he once more bore solemnly
around the post.
For two days he remained with us
and was the object of attention and
love; then he became restless, and we
fancied he again longed for his forest
home. So the cruel chain was stricken
off his huge foot, and Ny Lord tho
Elephant, with roses and branches
around his great neck and
hanging from his stubby tusl1s, was
led forth in triumphal procession and
given his liberty. 1t was the best
present we could give him; he ac-
,epted it gratefully, and soon the huge,
gray mass had disappeared.

been effected, but as l turned and
caught sight of the animal, l compre-

of the native had seen it; he knew that
the animal must have been in captivity
at some time, and called out the word
of command, hoping that it would be
obeyed. He was not disappointed; for
although the small eyes still cleaned
with an ugly red light, and the trunk
waved mutinously in the air, the great
creature had not forgotten his former
training. We approached him eau
tiously at first, but presently Ramon
rushed fearlessly up to the brute and
petted him effusively, calling him by
every name of endearment. "Ah, tits

When the sun has said good night
And the birds have gone to bed
And the evening star shines bright
In the heavens overhead,
There's dainty little fellow
With a head Of golden hair,
Who leaves his games and gambols
And stands beside my chair
He begs me for story
OF hunters or Of ships,
And as tell Of wond rous tales,
see his ruby lips
Part wide in awe and wonder.
And his blue eyes gaze OF me
As II was q genie.
Or some monster Of the sea.
The gray OF twilight deepens,
And his eyes are growing dim
His eyelids droop; he's nodding
And the sandman kisses him,
He climbs the chair, lies In my lap,
His head falls on my breast,
The night wind sings q lullaby
And lulls him into rest.

FOR HONEST q, MONEY.

Ohio republicans have held their
state convention, and have shown their
true coloTs. They are for gold. Sem
ator Sherman, the father of the re-
publican party, was made chairman
of the convention. In his speech be-
fore that body regarding the money
question he said:
THE policy now urged by the pro-
ducers OF silver and by men who wish
to pay their debts in cheacer money
than they promised to pay, is the free
coinage of silver. It's the degradation
of our dollar to 80 cents. If applied to
our national bonds it is a reputation
of one-half of the public debt. 1t is
the reputation of One-half of all
debts. 1t cOnfers no favOrs on pro-
auctions of any kind, whether Of the
farm, the workshop or the mine, for il
they get nCminGlly more dollars for
their productions. their additional dol
lars would have only one-half the pnr-
chasing power of the gold dollars.

CHAIRMAN RICHARDSON.

We have long known that ]. S. Rich
ardson. Chairman of the Democratic
State Central committee, whose selec-
ton for the important position was a
surprise to many democrats, was utter
ly incompetent to fill the position. He
possessed only moderate ability, and
next to no knowledge of the democrat
ic party or the politics of the state.
We had supposed, however, that
Chairman Richardson was a man Of
some character, and that confidence
could be reposed in his word. In this
opinion we were mistaken. His actions
at the meeting of the committee last
Wednesday show Enthusiastically that he
is inslncere, wofIced; or that he is
utterly destitute of backbone. To
whichever failing his pusillanimous
conduct as chairman may be attributed
it is certain he is unfit to hold the res
ponsible position be occupies. He is
either shamefully weak kneed, or he is
a sneak.
For a month or more, Chairman
Richardson had posed in conversation
with democrats. and others, as an
ardent silver man. To hear him talk
you would think that one great object
in calling the democratic committee
together at this time was to send a
word OF cheer and encouragement to
the democracy of Illinois in the great
battle they are making for free silver.
Chairman Richardson will not deny
that he professed to be for free coin
age.
Yet at the meeting of the committee
on Wednesday, he went back squarely
on all his professions for free silver.
AS chairman, he threw all his influence
on the side of the Neely-Orr clique to
prevent any consideration of the silver
issue. He did more. In his unworthy
trucking to the clique of federal ofici-
ais. he even stopped so low as to obey
the mandate one of the members of the
ring, and ruled that the silver resOlu-
ton offered by Col. S. A. Riggs was out
of order, making himself the mere
tool of the gOldbugs.
Chairman Richardson should retire
from position he is clearly incompe-
tent to fill. Not an angle worm but
man of backbone and ability, is at this
juncSure needed at the head of the
democratic state central committee
