WIrH each succeeding day
comes the conclusive evidence that
all issues ID the political campaign
OF 1896 win be subordinate to that
.of finance. Aud Il is right and
expedient that It should be So.
From a combination Of causes the
country has been thrown into such
d state Of financial chaos az has
never been experienced since we

questions which have formed the
basis for political action in the
past, viii, ia a measure, be lost
sight Of in the coming conflict be-
tween the capitalists and the pro-
ducing and consuming masses. It
is not improbable that this mighty
question Of finance may result in
the complete disruption Of both
the democratic and republican
parties. The leaders Of both par.
ties are al variance on the ques-
ton, and there appears to be nc
possibility Of reconciliation OF
compromise. The west and south

other hand the east will hold ia

open rupture. In times like these
men are not SO welded to party
principles that they will leopard

and the prosperity Of the country
simply for party's sake. The
glory Of being a good democrat OF
a good republican pales into insig.

THE SALISBURY CABINET AND
BImETALLIsM.


A b1metalllc memorial has been
signed by numbers Of leading
bankers, merchants and manufac-
.turers doing business in the east.
The memorial first refers to the
recent nti-bimetallic memorial, in
which, it says, bimetallism is just
ly described as a growing agita-
ton. 1t then goes on to say:
Instead of the commercial SUI
premncy Of Great Britain aud the
financial a~scendancy Of London
having been established since the
change in the currency in 1916, it
was achieved before then. More
over, up to nearly sixty years after
1916 the business Of the world was
conducted under the dominating
influence of the bimetallic system.
The experience of recent years has
shown that British commercial
prosperity during this period was
due to the universal effect Of the
bimetallic law, and not to the OPP
Grafton Of our single standard.
With the abandonment Of bimet-
allism our immense advantages
disappeared. The subsequent at
tempt, for the first time in history,
to conduct the business of the
western world on a gold basis was
followed by a wide and increasing
divergence in the value Of gold
and silver, which hindered trade,
and a progressive fall in prices,
which seriously injured industrial
undertakings. Contracts have
been disturbed. the burden Of the
debtor increased, and property de-
creased, with a resulting loss Of
capital embarked in industry and
the employment of the working
classes. E ere
The experience Of history, the
teachings Of science, and the con-
illusions Of authority as expressed
by the unanimous report of the
gold and silver commission unite
in supporting the opinion that the
relative value of the metals could
be maintained under bimetallism

The tax levy authorized by the
council at its regular meeting on
July End, provides for a levy Of
FIVE mills for general purposes and
six mills for hydrant rentals upon
the taxable property of Silver City
for the year 1896. The total val
uation of the property in this city
in round numbers, is 100000, and
hence it will be seen that the levy
authorized will raise a revenue of
$1,000 for the purposes designated,
$500 going to the Silver City
Water Works Co. for water and
interest ON bonds, and $4,000 to
the city for general purposes. The
levy Of 1894 included a FIVE mill
tax to pay interest on the railroad
bonds, but since the city attorney
advised the council hat the bonds
were illegal, it was deemed unnec-
essary to levy a tax for the pay
ment of interest upon the same.
The levy for 1895 is the same as
that of 1894, less the five mills for
interest on railroad bonds, but II
viii not produce the same amount
in revenue because the valuation
of property has shrunken.

Africans and the Steamboat.

They were perfectly frantic with min
gled dread and curiosity at sight of the
steamer. They shouted and danced and
waved their arms in imitation of our re-
volving stern wheel. They followed us,
running along the banks for miles to-
gether. Occasionally some specially brave
ones would rush out into the water to have
q long, unobstructed look at us. The ex-
preston on the ecountenances of the natives
on the shores would make the fortune OF
an actor who could initiate it.
They would stand with their bodies part
ly turned away, in order to dart into the
bush at the slightest indication of danger,
overwhelmed with awe and inquisitive-
ness, few only daring to laugh, while
the whole river echoed with their exclama-
tions of astonishment and their crazy
shouts. When the steamers whistle was
blown, the hundreds who had collected on
the bank at once stampeded pellmen over
each other and into the wood and tall
grass. Our men greeted them with shouts
Of laughter and calls to come back, but 1t
was to no purpose; they would not again
come SO near. 1t was amusing to notice
the bearing of these people, even up to the
moment of our departure.
1t was clear they apprehended some
trickery on our part; that would be their
manner Of dealing with another and weak
er tribe, and hence they feared something
of the sort from us. We felt, however, that
we had made record for the white man
as friendly visitor and just and liberal
barterer, and left with our steamer quite
overloaded with the provisions we had pur.
chased. -" Actual Africa" Vincent.

Tea and Coffee, For Children.

Tea and coffee should be positively in
terdicted to all children, and there should
be no exceptions to this rule. In the fam
lilies of the poorer classes it is found that
tea and coffee are given freely to all chill
llren and even in the better classes tea is
used too much. The parents take it and
the children naturally want it, and when
the parents are weak the children get it.
Tea is powerful stimulant, upsetting the
digestion, exciting the nervous system,
which predominates in the growing child,
and causing NERVOUSNESS, sleeplessness and
a host of other evil effects. In England,
where tea is used much more than here,
many cases of tea poisoning are seen annu-
ally at the hospitals and dispensaries.
Children, VITO are much more susceptible
to all such powerful stimulants, are much
more powerfully affected by these bever
ages, and, consequently, they should never
be allowed 10 use them.-Popular Health

Corn. and How TO rrsa. Them.

The laminated corn, or callosity pro-
duced by pressure, congestion and in
creased formation Of epidermis, may be
softened by moisture. as by soaking In
warm water, by the application of starch
or soap poultice, and, being softened, the
thick cuticle may be thinned by scraping
with blunt knife, or the albuminous cpl
dermis may be dissolved by an alkaline So
luton, with moderate friction.
When the thickening has been reduced
sufficiently, it may be kept down by daily
washing with soap. The soft corn requires
removal with the knife. II it be Of moder-
ate size, a single pinch with q pair of
pointed scissors will effect its removal,
while the hard callosity will require pa
tient digging with the point Of a not too
sharp knife. The eye of the corn may be
always made visible by rubbing the part
with eau de cologne or spirits of wine, and
any remains of the corn may be detected
in this way, either during or after the
operation.
The removal of a corn may be very con-
siderably aided by the use of the compound

Soap and water, so useful to the skin in

ton Of piece of cotton wool between the

sned by sponging with spirits Of camphor
after the washing. The cotton wool should
be removed at night, and this is good
time for the camphorated spirits.

Stevenson was not without good deal
of innocent oddity in his dress. When l
try to conjure up his figure, can see only
a slight, lean lad, in o suit of blue seq
cloth, a black shirt and wisp of yellow
carpet that did duty for necktie. This
was long his attire, persevered in to the
anguish of his more conventional acquaint-
ances. have ludicrous memory of 60
ing, in 1878, to buy him a new hat, in
company with Mr.. Lang the thing then
upon his head having lost the very sem
blance of human article of Dress Aided
by very civil shopman, we suggested
several hats and caps, and Louis at first
seemed interested, but having at last hit
upon one which appeared to us pleasing
and decorous we turned for moment to
inquire the price. We turned back, and
found Louis had fed, the idea of parting
with the shapeless object having proved
too painful to be entertained.
By the way, Mr.. Lang will pardon me
if I tell, with an added detail, a story of
his. 1t was Immediately after the adven-
ture with the hat that, not having quite
enough money to take him from London
to Edinburgh, third class, he proposed to
the railway clerk to throw in a copy of Mr..
Swinburnes "Queen Mother and Rosa
mond." The offer was refused with scorn,
although the book was of the first edition
and even then worth more than the cost of
q whole ticket. Personal Memories of
