Those persons who are outspoken
for free coinage, as advocated by the
mlne-owners of the West, and who
prescribe that theory as panacea for
all the ills to which the country is
heir, should note the fact that Ohio
and Kentucky Republicans are out
spoken in their demand for an honest
dollar and that Chairman Harrity OF
the Democratic National Committee
refuses to call a silver convention.
The craze, for such it is, will have
spent its force ere this time next year
and the next great political battle will
be fought out on tariff lines.

he strives to tell the color of that faint

the other vessels whereabouts at the

may be. This last is what the light next

HOW TO AVOID SUNsTRoKE.
And What to Do When Attacked by
the Maiady.
From the Philadelphia Recor

from the Philadelphia Record.
SunstroGe weather has followed
sharply upon pneumonia weather
this season. Here are the rules is
sued by the board of health for pre-
venting and treating sunstroke:
Sunstroke is condition caused by
exposure to excessive heat. Two
forms are recognized heatexhaustion
and heat stroke.
Heat exhaustion-Prolonged ex-
posture to high temperature, par
ticularly when combined with physi-
cal eXertion, is liable to be followed
by great prostration, collapse, restless
ness. and, i'll severe cases by delirium.
Unlike heat stroke, the surface of the
body is usually cool, the pulse small
and rapid, and the temperature below
normal-as low as 95 or 90 degrees.
1t is not necessary that the person
shall have been exposed to the direct
rays of the sun, as the condition may
come on when working in close, con-
fined rooms during midsummer, and
when exposed to great artificial heat,
as in laundries, foundries, bake shops,
and engine rooms.
Sunstroke or heatstroke-This is
chiefly confined to persons working
very hard while exposed to the sun.
1t is common in our large cities, but
is not unknown in the country. Those
habituated to the use of beer and wills
ky and the debilitated are especially
predisposed to attacks.
The attack may be sudden and the
patient be struck down and die within
an hour with symptoms of heart fail
ure, difficult breathing and loss Of
consciousness. The usual form comes
on during exposure, with pain in the
head, dizziness, feeling of weakness
and sometimes nausea and vomiting.
The loss of consciousness may be only
transient or it may be complete The
face is flushed, the skin pungent, the
pulse rapid and full and the tempera-
ture very high, from Io7 degrees to
no degrees. The breathing is labor
ed and deep, sometimes loud. 1t is
important to note that in heat and ex-
haustion the skin is moist, pale and
COO; the pulse small and soft, and the
senses entire; while in heat stroke
there is usually insensibility and great
heat of skin.
Dark close-ftting and heavy cloth
ing and such as compress the chest
and neck should not be worn during
the heated term. For those who are
obliged to labor in the sun, lightcloth-
ing and straw or light felt hat, per-
hitting free circulation Of the air are
preferable.
On very hot days one should drink
frequently of cool water in moderate
quantity. 1t is injurious to drink
large quantity of ice water, cold beer,
soda water or other mineral waters or
iced drinks. Cool water in which
oatmeal has been stirred is a safe and
refreshing drink. Immediate death
is sometimes caused by ice cold'
drinks. The immoderate use of alco-
holic beverages is also dangerous.
The sleeping room should be freely
ventilated. Constipation of the bow
els should be avoided When over
heated, wo k slowly. frequently cool
ing the head. chest, back, and wrists
with cool water. Keep a wet sponge
or cloth in the hat. When, ON very

PRETTY rAIH Pay.


kr. Foster Said to Get More Than $780,.
COO For Two Months' work.
It is claimed that John W. Foster
will receive more than 800, 600 for two
months service as diplomatic adviser,
helping to let Ii Hung Chang down as
easy as possible with the japanese Mr..
Foster Is one Of the most experienced,
If not one Of the ablest. commercial dip
lomats III this country, perhaps in the
world. but the importance of his service
to the Chinese government can hardly
be overestimated, as is clearly shown by
q statement made by wide awake MEM
Der Of the diplomatic corps
Before John W. Foster left this
country. said this gentleman, "he had
made a contract with the Chinese min
lister by which he was to receive very
large sum for his services as adviser to
the Chinese government in the efforts
then being made to secure peace with
Japan Tho cable today indicates that
he has earned every penny Of it. When
Mr.. Foster was first engaged, it had not
been decided to send Lii Hung Chang to
treat with Japan The first thing Mr.
Foster did was to insist that he be called
to Picking, restored to his former honors
and sent out with full powers to negoti-
ate a treaty He Enew that the Japanese
would receive the veteran statesman
with greater courtesy than they would
extend to any other living Chinaman,
and he shrewdly guessed that Ii Hung
Chang would command some sympathy
for the harsh treatment received by him
at the hands Of his emperor. The result
has fully justified this expectation Lii
was received with distinction, and since
the unfortunate incident of his attempt
ed assassination, which, however, in
view of the happy outcome, can hardly
be called unfortunate, the mikado has
done everything in his power to make
his task an easy one The shrewd Foster
was constantly at his elbow, and when
Japan demanded an indemnity of 300,-
900, 900 taels it was at Fosters sugges-
ton that Lii besought the japanese min
lister not to cripple the revenues of China
for all time by demanding SO high a
price for peace The plea was successful,
for the japanese finally consented to
put the amount at 200, 900, 900 taels As
tael is worth about 70 cents in gold the
minister's shrewd work has probably
saved China more than $40, 600, 900, SO
that the emperor can well afford to pay
the Americans little bill Detroit

nELklNs, AMBITION. !"

Under the above caption the Wheel
ing Register devotes nearly column
in vain effort to prove that Senator
Elkins is candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent. We have no idea where the
Register obtained its information.
Indications are that it was fnanufact-
ured to order in the Register Office.
The second sentence in the first para
graph is as follows:
1T now appears that Mr.. Elkins,
Senator elect from West Virginia.
still cherishes an ambition of his own
in his advocacy Of Mr. Harrison for
the Presidency
Which would be true were it not
that Senator (not Senator-elect) Elkins
has no ambition Of his own in the di-
rection indicated and is not advocat-
ing Mr.. Harrison for the Presidency
We do not think the Register ever
crowded less truth ihto a sentence
than is contained in the one quoted.
The next sentence is more accurate:
Republicans are commenting on
the thoroughness with which Mr..
Elkins has lai d his plans to dictate
Presidential nomination in the con-
vention. During Mr.. Elkins' recent
trip through the Western States he
not only met great numbers OF lead
ers of his party in the various sections,
but he took occasion to deliver a
great many speeches in favor of sill.
YER. 1t is not known that he has ad-
vocated the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at 10 to +, independent
of any other nation, but his speeche S
have been SO worded that they sound
ed exceedingly pleasing to advocates
of the white metal. and the general
impression was left among the
Republicans of the West that Mr..
Elkins was their friend in their fight
against the gold standard.
Putting it briefly. Mr.. Elkins is
a sensible man, is friendly to silver,
is opposed to monometallism-is a
Republican.
The opposition on thepart of south
ern Republicans to a reduction OF
representation in the National Con-
vention is treated fairly and lucidly
and then the deduction is drawn that
Mr.. Elkins wants the Vice Presidency
We have failed to note any action
on the part of his friends tending in
that direction, and happen to know
that personally Senator Elkins is
perfectly content to represent the
State of West Virginia in the Senate
of the United States-not only con-
tent, but esteems it an honor to be
permitted to do SO.
No; Mr.. Elkins is not candidate
He has an ambition to see southern
man preside over the Senate and that
man is Hon. Nathan Golf, of Harrison
county.
If Presidential lightning of any
character should happen to strike the
distinguished gentleman who worries
the Democracy so much, it is much
more likely to be for first place than
for second, but if it should it will be
without effort on the part Of himself
or of his most intimate friends. That
he is good Presidential timber we be-
lieve the Register will concede. We
are therefore puzzled to know why,
while the Register was at it, that it
did net elevate him to the highest
place in the gift of the American
people.
