No More Wild Men In Borneo.

Lammerts Van Beuren, manager of
British North Borneo, came over from
Japan on the Belgic and is on his way
to his native country, Holland. The
plantation of which he has charge Gov
ers about 10, 600 acres.
Mr.. Van Beuren states that, contrary
to the general impression abroad, Bor-
neo is safe place for foreigners to do
business in. The native race, though pi-
ratical in its dealings with Chinese, is,
on the whole, friendly to the whites.
The only industrial worl. the aborigines
do is to raft bamboo ana rattan down
the rivers for the use of the estates. The
most civilized class among them are the
Dyaks, who used to be head hunters, but
are now of some use to the British gov
erLment in the local military service.
Chinese, Malays and Javanese.
In the intervals of tobacco farming
Mr.. Van Beuren does good deal of
hunting, and his description Of the game
resources of Borneo will be of interest
to sportsmen. There are plenty of rhi-
noceri, of which he has killed seven, and
Of wild cattle, of which he has shot over
so. The ourang outang and a long nosed
monkey peculiar to Borneo abound.
There are also elephants in the north
western part, but these are protected by
the game laws Francisco Chroni-

The dumb waiter, like the feathered
portion of that part of creation which

begins its lay before the dew is off the
heather, so to speak. The milkman or
the baker causes it to emit its first faint
blast. There are heard a rafting and
creaking of ropes, q rackety slamming
and banging along the sides of the
shaft, as the dumb waiter is aroused
from its perch near the sixteenth fiat,
and then ths uproarious rush of the
dumb creature descending toward the
cellar Next follows the sharp, insistent
tinkle of the electric bell, and the dumb
waiter has fairly started on its vocifer-
Gus daily career.
This overture is repeated, with varia-

flats, from the oneth even unto the six
teenth, are served with their daily
modicum of bread and milk from their
daily contingent of bakers and milkmen.

CARDINAL GIBBONS.

Not Believed In Baltimore That He Will
BE Asked to Reside In Rome.
BALTIMORE, July 2.-No significance
is attached here to the report from
Rome that Cardinal Gibbons was re-
quested by the pope to surrender his
diocese and reside in Rome.
One of the members of the cardinal s
household said: Even admitting it to
be fact that the pope would extend to
his eminence such an invitation, which
is very unlikely, it would be contrary to
all of Cardinal Gibbons ideas to aban-
don the distinguished and responsible
position as the head of the church in
America TO engage in the affairs of the
vatican. Cardinal Gibbons, while a
strong churchman, is also very patri-
otic American, and knows he can rem
der the church far greater service in his
present eminent station than in any
which he would be called upon to occu-
py at Rome.

w. w. Armstrong, of Cleveland
who is well and favorably known tC
the Democracy Of Ohio, gives in one
of his letters to the Cleveland Press
the following summary of Democrat
ic platforms on silver with his owI
comment appended, which as a re-
minder to Democrats is good to pub
lish here and now:
THAT the Democrats may see what
position their party has taken on the
money question, | give below the
Democratic national platform adopt
ed at Chicago in 1884. 1t declared foi
gold and silver as follows:
"We belisye In honest money, the gold
and silver coinage OF the constitution, and 9
circulating medium convertible into such
money without loss"
The Democratic platform of Ohio
for 1886 is as follows:
I'VE denounco the attempt TO change the
measure OF values in the face OF the worlds
vast debts from gold and silver to gold alone
as an act of monstrous injustice, and demand
that both gold and silver, as established by
the constitution, shall be maintained tine
basis Of our money system"
Again in 1891 the Democrats OF
Ohio emphatically declaredas follows
"We denounce the demonetizatiOn OF ST.
YER in 1873 by the party in powr az m Il.
quitious alienation of the money slandarS
IN favor of the creditors and against debt0ra
taxpayers aud producers, aud which by shut
ting off one of the sources of supply of pri-
mary money operates continually toincrease
the value of gold, depress prices, hamper in.
d1stry aud disparage enterprise, and we de-
mand the reinstatement of the constitution
al standard OF both gold and silver with the
equal rights Of each to free and unlimited
coinage"
The national Democratic platform
of 1899, upon which Grover Cleveland
was elected, reads as follows:
1--WE hold to the use of both gold and sill
7cr al the standard money of the country
and the c?i97ga OF both gold and silver with.
out disol imiiiattLg against either metal"
In 1894 the Democrats Of Ohio de-
cIared in this wise:
I'VE dissent from lie Presidents Views
construction and treatment of the silver
question, and therefore believe that silver
should be restored to the position it occupied
AZ money prior to tire decentralization by
the Republican party, and to that end we fa-
vur the unlimited free coinage of silver al
the legal ration Of 1G to and with equal 10.
gal tender po aer."
The attempts of the gold bugs to
eliminate silver from our currency as
a money metal, by the adoption OF
the gold standard, are meeting with
unexpected opposition from men OF
all parties. The aim of the money
lords, their cry disaster and theii
crockedness do not frighten people
who have made study of the ques
tion. That there is a tendency in the
Democratic party of Ohio in favor Of
free silver is undeniable, and the feel
ing 1t that direction cannot be eradi
