large or small, democratic, republican
or populist, in any county of any state,
asked for the passage of the demopetl-
zatiop act of 1873. Nor did the CON-
binstiOns and representatives OF the
money-grabbers who demonetized sill
yer in 1873 seek or ask the advice,
concurrence or Intervention Of foreign
nations, whatever may have been the
fact in respect to the Intervention OF
the millionsires in Lombard street, in
London. Nor would it be wise for the
American people still further to COM
plicate and delay q successful solution
of the silver coinage question by further
dallying with the restoration of silver
by waiting for the concurrence oil
England or of the states of the Latin
union. We are strong enough and old
enough and wise enough to attend to
our own business in Our own way.
3. Some of the opponents of free
silver coinage, even among our demo
cratic friends, claim to be bimetallists,
but oppose free coinage because of the
proposed ratio of l6 to !. Many con,
elusive reasons, in our opinion, justify
this ratio. But it may be stated as 1
remarkable development of the conten.
ton by the enemies of free coinage tina
while they persistently oppose the ratio
of 16 to l they suggest no other a,
better.

would be the case, 1t may well bt
questioned whether the present anG

American people than the deportation
OF gold. But the prophecy that oul

of coinage is ~contradicted by the fact:
and statistics of finance. We first

A Splendid Chance.

Everybody who is weak, delicate or sickly
wants to get well. DIR, Greene, of 81 Temple
Place, Boston, Mass, makes a specially of
treating patients through letter correspond
ence. The wisest thing all suffering people
can do is to write the Doctor, stating just how
they feel, mentioning every symptom of
which they complain, and he will answer the
letter, explaining each symptom and describ-
ing the case so thoroughly that patients
derstand their complaint well as though
they had talked with the Doctor. He makes
his explanations so clear that they cannot
help but understand just what ails them, and
he tells exactly what to do to get WE'LL 1t
saves a journey to the city and doctors fees,
and costs nothing. DR.. Greene is the most
successful specialist in curing nervaus and
chronic diseases. He is the discoverer of that
wonderful medicine, DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy. Thousands are be-
ing cured through his perfect system af letter
correspondence. 1t !has been proved sue
cessful.

Parties have introduced a method
of making poles from paper material
which will not crack in a dry atmos-
phere, warp when exposed to heat
or frost, nor dissolve when subjected
to long rainy or damp spell. Some
of the poles have already been put to
very severe tests in order to ascertain
the practicability of the same. The
poles are cast hollow, SO that the
principle of increased strength is
rod is sitter, and less liable to bend or
break than solid one Of the same
diameter. Common paper pulp is us :
ed in making the poles, but mixed
with this pulp are several ingredients,
known only to the inventors of the
sc heme, and these ingredients are the
success of the plan, as they make the
poles durable and noncracking.
The composition used in the stock
of which the poles are made consists
wholly of paper pulp, in which are
mixed the several ingredients for
giving the poles ability to resist the
heat of the sun, rain, dampness, etc.
Borax, tallow, aluminium in small
quantities, etc. are said to be some of
the secret ingredients. A long shell,
divided lengthwise from end to end,
is the mold used to cast the pole in.
One pole at time is cast. A core
retains the hollow in the pole. The
cost is said to be less than wooden
poles. The inventors claim that the
pole will last indefinitely.

Tho RouIades of the Past.

In tho present atmosphere of musical
training it is quite certain that vocal
lists do not flourish For one thing the
tendency OF modern music is all against
that kind of composition in which sing
ers used most to delight and which pro
vided them with their principal artistic
diet. The roulades of day that is dead
were perfect training for the voice and
were really only Objectionable when
they occupied the place of real music
Now that q different ideal is set up
these excellent exercises have almost
entirely gone out of fashion, and young
and tender voices are ruined or broken
on intellectual compositions that they
cannot grasp or interpret.
1t is VIGOROUSLY far easier to make
silk purse out of a -sow's ear than to
transform q singer s:lto musician,
and in nine cases out of ten either the
student rebels against the training and
MARBLES his beloved nonsense to the de-
light of his amateur friends and the
most indulgent section of the public or
develops into an admirable musician
without scrap of voice. The question
of the battle between vocal and intel
lectual training is too large question
to- be discussed here, but it may be
pointed out that the few artists who
manage by the help of a peculiarly hap
by combination of Circumstan ces to
learn the art of Intelligent expression
without losing the beauty of voice the
is the gift Of nature need fear no undue
competition. National Review.

4 CLERKS RUSF

He was hard up and needed situa-
ton. He knew nothing about dry
goods business beyond what he had
learned while shopping with his sister
but he answered an advertisement
for competent salesman and secured
a situation under one of the closest
and hardest dealer in the CITY. AS
| soon as he took his place a fellow
| clerk informed him that the proprie-
tor would watch him, and if he failed
to make a sale to one of the first
three customers he waited on, he
could expect his discharge.
He tore down every thing on the
shelves for the first lady, who didn't
want anything in particular, but made
no sale. He observed that the pro-
prietor's eye was on him and as the
lady left "Old Skinfint,' as he was
termed, stepped up and asked her if
she could find nothing to suit her.
The next customer bought nothing,
as she too was interrogated by the
proprietor. The third was leaving
the counter without purchase when
the clerk called her back and whisper
ed in confidential way
"See that man with gray hair ?'' in
dicating the proprietor. 'EWell, he
will speak to you as you go out. He
is on the verge of the delirum tremens
SO as soon as he approaches make a
dash at him as if you intented to
scratch his eyes out. He is afraid of
a scratching woman and will run.
Then you can skip out"
The terrified woman followed in
structions and threw in a hysterical
scream. The proprietor made his es-
cape to the new clerks counter and
inquired :
'EWhat was the matter with that
woman"
"Crazy as a bedbug. Made me tear
down everything and then wanted to
buy a kitchen stove"
The ruse saved him his situation,
for the next customer was a prospec-
tive bride, who bought her whole out
fit of him.

When an application is made for
pardon in Austria the red tape policy
of that country compels the applicant
to address the emperor with all his
titles. Emperor Ferdinand had about
forty titles. Joseph Loew, the noted
counterfeiter, engraved all these nam
es, together with his petition for a
pardon, on a cherry stone.
The letters were so fine that it re-
quired the aid of powerful mlcros-
cope to decipher them. One day
when the emperor visited the prison,
Loew in person presented cherry
stone to the emperor and told him
what it contained. The emperor made
an examination and was so amazed at
the work that he gave him an uncOn-
ditional pardon. Not only did he par
don him, but gave him a position as
detective to trail down counterfeiters.
Loew was we'll informed man in all
the arts and rascalities of counterfeit
ers, and in less than two years after
his pardon he ran to the earth almost
every counterfeiter in Austria, and
died few years ago covered with
detective honors. A picture of the
stone, made fifty years ago, owned by
a Chicago journalist, is in a remarka-
bic state of preservation.

A COMPANY FROM TEXAS.

Gainesville, Fla, April IS.
THE following letter written
by the captain of a company
in the Sixth regiment of Cuban
volunteers, was received by a
friend in this city-today. 1t is
dated from Camp Liberty, Gu
ba, April 10:
"At last our second exped
ition has landed and it seemed
for a time that it would not be
able to land here They were
pursued by a Spanish cruiser
and had to run out to sea to
escape. But to night they hap
pened to run in under cover Of
darkness and landed about
twenty miles from Nuvitoos.
This is the largest American
expedition that has landed here
as yet. 1t was a company of
Americans, sixty-three in all,
fully equipped They are from
different parts Of Texas, but
are principally from Fort
Worth. They were enlisted by
a Cuban agent who is organic
ing companies and. they will be
forwarded as fast as possible af-
ter their enlistment. This is a
fine company, and mark. my
words, they will be heard from
before many days have passed.
They are all splendid marks
men and will make havoc
among the ranks of the Spanish
troops. We now have in com
pany a full regiment of infan-
try, an indeDendent comma
ny Of Americans, a troop of
cavalry and a battery Of artille-
ry armed with gatling guns.
These are all fully equipped
with the most improved
weapons. We number in all
1000, and start on the 14th. for
Puerto Principe, where we will
join the other commands and1
then march to join General
Maceo. The latest dispatches
we have Indicate that yellow
fever is making great havoc
among the newly arriving
troops. As yet We have not
been troubled. We anticipate
several skirmishes with the
enemy during the next few
days"
