Boy Murderers.

The case of young Durrant in San
Francisco had led the Philadelphia
Press to recall a number of recent ex-
amples of youthful propensity to MUIR
der. Robert Alden Fales, only sixteen
years old, murdered clerk in New
ark In order to rob him aud when ar
rested confessed and told the story of
the murder in the coolest and most
unconcerned way. Charlie Miller,
also sixteen years old, shot and killed
two companions in order to rob them,
and when tried and found guilty
Of murder showed no sign of fear or
remorse. Twelve-year-old John Ell
kins killed his father and mother in
Clayton county, Iowa, and then
hitched horse to buggy and drove
away with his baby sister. Otto Leuth,
sixteen years old, enticed little girl
into a house in Cleveland, Ohio, and
then beat her brains out with ham,
mer. No motive could be found for
the boys crime except his hardened
nature, which he exhibited, while the
jury was celebrating, by eating,
smoking and playing cards

that not a few educators have objected
to the practice of having military drill

Henry Watterson has revived an
old story-and apretty good one-and
set It to new music He tells of
the funeral of distinguished
advocate of silver that came of

whole town turned out to pay Its
respects to the memory of the deceased,
whose demise was sincerely mourned.
The good preacher felt 1t devolved on

COINS FINANCIAL SCHOOL.

A New York Paper Tries TO Answer It
and Makes Itself Ridiculous.
From the Salt Lake Herald.
The New York Evening Post has under
taken the task of replying to the argu-
ments on silver In "Coin's Financial
School," II picks out here and there
some inaccuracies Of unimportant data,
such as q mistake in the year when Ger
many assumed gold basis and similar
small things, and upon these jumps to
the conclusion that the whole pamphlet Is
unreliable and its arguments incorrect.
But the funniest part of the Posts
labored editorials IL the denial, which il
publishes, Of any participation in the
dialogues described in Coin by the gentle
men whose names are mentioned. The
whole plan of the lively little work 10 based
on an imaginary school, in which promi-
nent public men are made to figure as
pupils, and colleagues are held between
them and Coin, the preceptor.
The Post assumes that Coin claims to
have actually held these conversations,
and triumphantly publishes the denials of
some of those gentlemen that they ever
held any communication with Coin. On
page "a of Coin. John r. Walsh 10 repre-
sented as rising to ask a question. The
Post, having mentioned this in serious
mood, the following letter came from the
gentleman. which the Post publishes
triuInphantly as a settler: 1t says:
As we were on the point of examining
this question and the answer to 1t, we re-
ceived tho following letter from Mr..
Walsh himself. which makes any further
reply superiuous: ~
To the Editor of the Evening Post:
sIR:-I am very glad that your inquiry Of
April gives me an opportunity to correct any
misapprehension that might be caused by the
use of my name In the book called "Coin's
Financial school," / never attended any Of
the lectures referred to in that book and, there
fore, could not have used the language with
which am credited. JOHN X. WALSH,
Chicago, April IL.
That any paper published in America
has so little sense of humor as to take
seriously the personal references in an
imaginary school is overwhelmingly funny.
But the Post prints a number of these de-
malls, which, of course, take the place of
arguments to refute Coins pungent
statements and strong reasonings.
That is about as sensible as ara uing
that the morals of Esop's fables must be
all wrong because no conversation could
nave been held between a wolfe and a
lamb, or fox with the grapes, or with
Jove and the WAGNER.
The Post may succeed in advertising
"Coin's Financial School" but NJ has not
yet succeeded in answering the main
propositions of the book. The silver ques-
ton is correctly set forth in that work,
but it Is true that some Of its minor state
ments are rashly made and it will not do
for persons unfamiliar with the data re-
ferred to in its pages to rely altogether
upon its details. The editor OF the Post,
in his grave dispute of the truth of purely
imaginary silver conversations, simply
makes q laughing stock of himself and of
his denying correspondents.

After tinkering several years with
its ballot laws and giving the people
an emasculated Australian ballot, the
New York legislature undertook this
session to furnish the genuine article.
Under the regime of Plattism, how
ever, the bill has been so torn to pieces
and patched up that, If it passes, it
will virtually restore the practice of
bribery to its pristine vigor. The
worst feature of the bill is provision
that enables any person who swears
that he is unable TO write to take a
friend into the booth and deposit the
ballot which is prepared in the pres
ence of the second party. The bill is
a clumsy affair at best but this pro-
vision is altogether vicious, as 1t offers
an easy way to practice corrup-
tion. 1t permits the selling of votes
and the means to insure the deposit of
the purchased vote.

did my opinions on free silver coinage become
anti-democratic and crimes against the demo-

sudden change accomplished? Who have been
sitting In judgment and rendering DEGREES

against democratic doctrine and precedent?
Certainly no democrat In Alabama, except
within the last two years.
Some people have become so reckless as ia
assert that these democrats who favor the
restoration OF silver to free coinage at the old
ratio are making war on the democratic party.
II this be true then there are at least four MIL
lions OF democrats In the United States who are
engaged In that business, and yet not "a single
one OF them has changed his opinions or party

Nervousness

Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
yersally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking q preparation which only

CheaDer to Build IA New Road.

| Tie Pennsylvania railroad proposes to

25 miles in length from New Brunswick
| to q point on the outskirts of Jersey City
, The line was laid out three or four years
ago, and charters were procured cover
ing the route, and last week a license
was taken out for the construction of a
bridge over the Passaic river. The route
is almost direct line and will avoid the
cities of Railway, Elizabeth and Newark.
1t will be used exclusively by express
trains an improved local service being
established for the convenience of tray
elers to and from the cities mentioned.
The advantage of the new line consistl
not so much in the shortening Of the dis
lance, but in the fact that through travel
will not be interfered with by local
trains or municipal restrictions as to tho
rate of speed in city limits. An enormous
number of local passenger trains are run
between Jersey City and Railway, and u
great many run through to New Bruins.

it will be possible to reduce the running
