HE HAD TO EXPLAIN.

There is young Kansas bride
groom who is explaining yet.
From casual investigation Of the
circumstances it must be conceded
that explanations are in order, saws
the Kansas City Journal. But you
can draw your own conclusions.
These are the facts:
One day last week there arrived at
the Coates house a pair ofyoung peo-
pie. 1t did not take a Sherlock
Holmes to see that they were recent
ly married. The sunfowers in their
hats betrayed the name of the state
from which they had just emigrated.
The newly married couple were
shown to nice parlor on the third
floor, not the best in the house, nor
the worst either. The young husband
seemed to have plenty of money, but
he did not blow it in" promiscuously,
though he con6ded to clerk his inten-
ton of celebrating the suspicious
event in properly elaborate manner
After some persuasion the young
fellow induced his wife to leave him
long enough to enable him to super
intend the removal of their trunks to
theirroom. With many waves of her
handkerchief the blushing and happy
bride assembled to her room, and
there waited eagerly for her better
halt to put in an appearance.
A maid was sent to the room to
brush up the ROOM" and the young
bride had nice little chat with her
while the touches were being put on.
Bnt presently a manly step was
heard just outside the door.
There he is !" exclaimed the bride,
rapturously.
II guess I'll get out of here!" cried
the maid, coyly.
And she got.
She got just as far as the door. A
great bear of man, whose eyes
were blinded by the light he had just
left, caught her in his arms as she
opened the door and pair OF Kansas
lips came down upon her mouth in a
hearty smack, while the girl strug-
gled IN his arms, and the man ex-
claimed, soothlngly: did l scare
you, love?"
All this took but minute. Then
a third voice smote the air:
"Ain't you ashamed of yourself,
John Peters ?"
That was all it said.
But the young husband had found
his eyes now, and the maid had es-
capped, leaving the impulsive young
kansan to console weeping bride
as best he could. He tried to explain.
And he is probably trying to ex-
plain yet.

A Financial Charlatan.

The Minneapolis Tribune says: "Con-
gresham Joseph G. Sibley of Pennsyl-
vania is put forward as the silverite
candidate for the presidency. Mr.. Sib-
ley is not widely known to the country,
but he gave the public some taste of his
quality in his speech at the Memphis
convention on Wednesday evening. The
gist Of his speech is contained in the
four following political aXioms, which,
he says, embody the result of his study
of the money question:
First, Double the volume of mon
ey, and you double prices.
Second Divide the volume of
money, and you divide prices,
"'Third. Double the volume of mon.
ey, and you divide the debts.
Z" Fourth. the volume of
money, and you double the debts
eff Mr.. Sibley's first proposition were
true, how easy it would be for govern
ment to regulate values by simply in
creasing or decreasing the volume of

volume would double values, quadrup-
ling it would quadruple values and in
creasing it thousandfold would make

SILVER AND PRICES.
Commodities Have Fallen Twenty Per Cent.
Silver Has Reduced One-haIf

In his speech at Gainesville, Ga, on
July 23, the Hon, Hoke Smith said:
The claim, therefore, that the money
OF final payment has been reduced one
half, thereby depriving the public of q
sufficient volume, is simply groundless.
We still use gold and silver both and
have more than we ever had prior to
the passage Of the act Of 1873 The
claim also that the currency has con-
tracted, thereby approaching the value
OF gold, is shown to be false by the
enormous output Of gold last year. 1t
was the largest in the worlds history
and amounted to 1881, 800, 600. The
worlds coinage of gold in 1898 rose to
1892, 1S5, 900, and that Of silver to
Sl35, 3S9, 600, making the largest year
ly coinage in the worlds - story, with
possibly one exception. The worlds
stock in full legal tender gold and sill
yer, today is, by the largest statistics,
$500, 800, 900 gold and So, 1875, 500, 900
silver, and it must not be forgotten that
even though the gold standard may be
in force, the silver coined furnishes
money for final redemption to relieve
the pressure upon gold, just as if it had
been coined upon free coinage plan.
The claim that gold has appreciated,
thereby depreciating the value of prod
ucts, is based upon the theory that the
decrease IN the value Of silver and in
the value Of products has been contem-
poraneous. A careful examination Of
the facts shows this not to be true. The
average decrease of commodities since
1878 has been about 20 per cent. The
heaviest decline has been in the line of
those things which the masses of the
people buy. All these reductions in
prices are partly attributed to a lessened
cost of production and partly to the re-
cent panic. While the commodities have
fallen 20 per cent silver has fallen 80
per cent
But to consider particular articles: In
1873 corn sold for Al cents bushel; sill
yer was worth $1.31 an ounce. In 1895
corn sold for 50 cents; silver was worth
81 cents an ounce. Silver had fallen 90
per cent and corn had risen 20 per cent.
In 1878 wheat was worth 81. II bush.
ell; silver was $1.31 an ounce. In 1878
wheat was S1.34 bushel silver was
81. 10 an ounce. In 1880 wheat was 90
cents; silver $l.04 In 1895 wheat was
50 cents bushel; silver 81 cents an
ounce.
Cotton. This is the production in
which our people are directly interested.
The claim that the value of cotton de-
pended upon the rise Or fall of silver
has been shown to be without founda-
ton this year. Cotton in the last four
months has risen 30 per cent; silver &
per cent. Prior to 1878 the price of cot
ton varied from to 40 cents. Silver
never fell below S1.29, In 1916 cotton
sold for 4 cents. Silver was then 81. SO

THE POOR NOT GROWING POORER.

While it is entirely true that the
business methods OF the past thirty
years have tended TO increase enor-
mously the fortunes of a few, and
thus to widen the gulf between the
very rich and the very poor, it is
wholly untrue that the poor as
class are either absolutely or relative
ly poorer than before. Indeed, the
number of small but comfortable
homes in every part OF the country,
as well as the reports of savings
banks and building and insurance
associations, prove incontestablv
that the poor have shared in the
prosperity of the rich, and that the
average standard of comfort was
never higher than at present. Indeed
the average workingman of today
lives better and possesses more of the
comforts of life than the average no.
BILE of six hundred years ago. The
sins of wealth, though many and
grievous, have not generally been
aimed directly at the oppression of
the poor,-[ Justice H. B. Brown, in
the August Forum.

RIGHTS OF PROPERTY.


1t cannot be denied that the spirit of
much Of the free coinage literature is
distinctly opposed to those rights of
property which are at the bottom of our
whole social system. 1t is not needful
to dwell on the fact that human prog.
ress is only possible when the producers
of wealth are protected in the possess
sion Of all they create. The examples Of
those countries where property is inso-
cure is sufficient proof that the enjoy
ment of property is the first requisite IF
civilization.
Various schools of agitators, such M
the socialists, communists and anarch-
lists, are seeking to abolish the instittl-
tion of private property, In the cheap
money agitation which is sweeping over
the country we find the essential ideas
of the socialists, etc, in another form.
There are i'll this country large mum.
Der of people who have saved a little
money, which they have loaned out ia
others. The advocates of free silver
boldly claim that the result of the adop-
ton of their money scheme would be to
take from all creditors one-half of their
property by enabling debtors to repay
their loans with dollars worth half as
much as of those borrowed. This is
nothing less than proposition to take
the property of those who have saved
money and invested it, and to give it to
those who have borrowed or, in other
words, the contiscation by law of one
half of all the loans Of the country.
When the farmer and workingmen I'M
derstand that this is the real object of
the free coinage agitation, will they
continue to favor the attack on private

THE MALE SEAL AND ITS FAMILY.

Among the many singular traits
Of character possessed by SEALS" said
a retired sea captain, none is more
striking than the devotion of the
male to its offspring, contrasted
with the apathetic attention paid by
the mother. The latter will at the
least alarm bolt away into the sea
and leave her babies behind her, but
the bulls mount guard over the
swarming herds of young and moth
ing can exceed their devotion and
courage when called upon as protect
ors. The sense of smell possessed by
the seals is very strong and will in
variably wake them out of a sound
sleep, even it you come upon them
ever soquietly to the windward, and
you will alarm them in this way much
more thoroughly, though YOU be
a half mile distant, than if you come
up careessly from the leeward and
even walked in among them, they
seeming to feel that you are not
different from one of their own spe.
cies until they smell you" 81 st.

Be WELL THIS SUMMER !
Paine's Celery Compound Re-
stores Lost Nervous Energy.

For those many women who have
suffered through the indoor life OF
winter and spring, with tired nerves,
sleeplessness, neuralgia, rheuma tism,
the dyspepsia that is best expressed
by the words mo appetite"-lor the
many WORKOUT women, many of
whom will get no real vacation, but
must attend the whole summer long
to household duties--for such women
there is every need now of brisker
feeding Of the reduced blood OF the
nervous tissues by means of the
best nutritive agent in the wide
world today-Paine's celery COM
pound.
After building up the body by the
use of this great modern restorative,
diseases OF the special organs, heart
troubles, kidney diseases, dyspepsia
and sleeplessness will disappear.
Neglect to satisfy the demands Of
the nervous system by rapid, com.
pIete nourishment of all parts, car
ries heavy penalties. Paine's celery
compound, more effectively than any
thing else the world has yet known,
restores health to men and women
whose blood has been robbed of vi.
tally from whatever canse, and
whose nerves have lost their healthy
tone. Persons suffering from rheu-
matism, neuralgia and any of the
countless results of loss of nerve
power find marked change for the
better almost at once upon the
faithful using of Paine's celery com.
pound.
Mrs. James Arthur, writing from her
home in Spokane, Wash, says:
81 suffered for three years with
neuralgia and rheumatism. | tried
different remedies which would give
me only temporary relief. Last year
in January and through the spring
months | suffered terribly. l could
walk only short distance, and
some days not at all. But then l
began for the first time touse Paine's
celery compound. 1t cured me per-
manently, and | have not been trou-
bled since My knees were so bad
last year that could not sit down
or get up alone. Now | walk every
day, and it causes no stiffness or
lameness in the joints"
Testimonials from men and women
in every state and county aud town
in the country might be published
telling of similar speedy cures. They
carry this plain advice to other suf-
ferers:
Take Paine's celery compound!

The Game Wnrdens Who Killed Joe
White Are Held for Trial.
Shell Lake, Wis. Dec. 29.-The pre-
liminary examination of Deputy State
Game Warden Horace Martin and his
assistant, S. M. Hicks, was continued
here today. The defendants, who
have been under examination for the
murder of Joe White, the Indian
chief, made. a motion through their
attorneys that they be held for man
slaughter and that the charge of MUIR
der be dismissed. After considerable
argument the court granted the motion
and bound the defendants over to the
circuit court on that charge, placing
the bail at $4,000 in the two cases.
The state introduced evidence show
ing that the shooting was not in self
defense, and the prosecuting attorney
states that the plea of justifiable shoot
ing cannot be introduced in court af-
ter the evidence he has submitted.
This has been the line of defense the
prisoners have intended to introduce
all along.
