and place it exactly where the old one
stood. OF course, if you have a queen
or a queen cell to give the old hive, so
much the better.
Where surplus honey is your object,
a safe rule to always follow is to hive

Immediately carry and place it where
the parent colony stood, and give the
old one a new location, at the same
time transferring the surplus case from
the old to the new hive. If there is any
honey in the flowers that colony will
give you fine profit. In case you
hive them on bare frames, you will
need a queen, excluding honey board
under the surplus case.
If you want bees more than honey,
leave off your surplus case until after
they swarm, which will be much earlier.
If you wish honey put on cases at

By all means have your supplies on

swarmlng Of Bees.

The swarming season is the most in
teresting period Of the year for the
bee-keeper, excepting, possibly, the
time at the end Of the season when he
receives In clean cash the proceeds of
his labor. There are several ways of
managing sWarming BY division, or
artificial method, and the natural way
with which all of you are more or less
familiar. Many have faith in the
future of the success Of the swsrming
devices and traps for catching the
queen. OF the number of such con-
EriVances and devices there seems to be
no end.
Swarming usually comes at the very
busiest time with the farmer, and it
can not be denied that there is much
personal discomfort and nervousness in
having natural swarm with the ther-
mometer ranging in the 90's; also an
uncertainty as to their movements, no
matter how cordial you were in your
efforts to provide them comfortable
home.
The plan l like best is to have the
queens wings clipped, and when the
swarm issues, she, being unable to fly,
can usually be found on the ground in
front of the hive, where you eau pick
her up and place her in a cage or tea
cup. Now carry the old hive to a new
location, and place the hive for the
swarm where it stood. The swarm,
missing their queen, will return at
once and commence going into their
new home. Now open your cage and
allow the queen to run in with them,
and the work is done. Ialwsys place a
frame of unsesled brood in the hive
when hiving any kind Of q swarm as

For bees, you know, have sometimes a
very sggraysting way Of leaving their

your hive has queen cells started; then

The Fight on Silver.

In this issue we reproduce q portion OF an
article from the New York Tribune under the
head "Silver In the Law Of 1873,' and will pub
lish the remainder Of 1t in our next issue.
The question Of the coinage OF silver is excit-
ing so much interest now that on every hand
may be heard the cry that has been so popu-
lar with the Populists these years that silver
was demonetlzed' by a trick and with crimi-
nal intent. In view OF this fact, r. G. HorF, Of
the Tribune, has made an exhaustive exami-
nation Of the records Of congress concerning
the passage of the law OF 1S78 and as his re-
port sets forth the facts so fully and clearly
we thought a reproduction Of the article in
the Empire might prove satisfactory to our
readers, who are called upon almost daily to
hear the false charges concerning that act.
Our readers should save the article for refer
ence.-Concordis Empire.
There is mendacity for you. The law
of February, 1873, was open and pub
lie; but the law Of June, 1874, was q
forgery hidden by the revision COM
mittee, passed without reading or dis.
cussion. Populists, so far as we know,
have never claimed that the act passed
February IL, 1873, was a secret law. 1t
was openly discussed in congress for
over two years. But that law did not
demonetize silver. That it did so, and
that it was surreptitious has been
claimed by misinformed silver repubh-
cans and others following their leader
ship.
Over a year ago, John Davis ex-
planned the matter for possibly the
hundredth time, in an article copied
into the Tribune, May 10, 1894, from
the National Watchmsn of April s,
1894, and enlarged upon later, in the
Arena, Boston, as follows:
"In 1916, silver was demonetized in
England for amounts above forty
shillingS. This was found to be pro.
fit to the creditor class. In the course
of time it was determined to make fur.
ther conquests. In 1870 coinage bill
was prepared, it is said, by the secre-
tary of the United States treasury. It
was introduced into congress, and the
discussions, amendments, speeches
and conferences began. The object
wasnot hidden. 1t was a fight on sill

Populist party of any state in the
Union. Last fall they cast nearly 16O,-
600 votes, all gained by conversion as
the result Of hard work, and consist
emily standing by principle. Now, the
only hope of the remaining democrats
to save themselves is to successfully
steal the Populist platform. Wherever
there is straight fight on principle
there is growth. Wherever there is fu-
sion there is failure. -Nonconformist,

and Hooper chairman Of committee), as eve
witnesses aud participants, to show that the
bill and the discussions were public, and that
the fight was not secret, but open and above
bosrd.l
"Further along in the progress of the
bill it was amended and greatly
changed. On February IL, 1873, it be-
came a law. 1t authorized the coinage
of the trade dollar and the subsidiary
coins. They were made lawful money
in amounts of IS in one payment. The
standard silver dollar was not men
toned. But in June, 1874, by a re-
vision Of the laws on coinage, all of
our silver coins, including the standard
silver dollar, were deprived of their
legsl-tender quality In amounts above
$5. After that came the law of 1876,
depriVing the trade dollar of the legal
tender quality; the law of 1873 restor.
ing the standard dollar as lawful money
in all payments, except where other
wise expressly stipulated in the con-
tract, and the law of 1879, making the
halves, quarters and dimes lawful
money in amounts not exceeding $40
in one payment. The laws Of 1878 and
1890 provided for the limited coinage
Of silver dollars; but the law Of 1893,
passed at the special session of the
Fifty-third congress, was intended to
stop the further coinage of the stand,
ard silver dollar in this county. SeV-
ersl countries in Europe have passed
through experiences like our own"
Arena, August, 1894.
The United States monetary COM
mission report Of 1877, page 80, states
the matter as follows:
The demonstration Of silver, coined and un-
coined, was sfirmStively completed in June,
1874, by the following section (S5S6) Of the re-
vised statutes:
"The silver coins Of the United States shall
be legal tender at their nominal value for
any amount not exceeding FIVE dollars in any
one payment"
No law was ever passed by congress Of
which this language can be considered re-
vision.
The revised statutes were enacted in bulk
They were intended to be revision merely of
existing laws, without change or introduction
Of new matter, and congress was assured by
its committee on revision that no new matter
had been introduced into them 1t was not
possible for the members of the committee to
have personally verified the exact accuracy Of
the revision. They must necessarily have re-
lied upon assurances given them by the per-
sons actually engaged in the work. Whoever
may be responsible for this error in the re-
Vised statutes, the ancient money Of the coun-
try, instead Of being Intentionally leglslated
out Of existence by congress, was revised out
Of existence.

publicly charged as a secret forgery
since 1877, and the charge has not yet
been denied. What has the Empire to
