"What effect would the demoni-
tization of gold have upon the yell
low metal" This entirely hypo-
thetical question is greatly disturb
ing the minds of some of the poll
ticians. who wish to make q "pint"
and ride into power while the 'free
silver" craze is on. It is a stun
nsr we acknowledge; for, as neith-
or gold or silver has ever been de-
monatized. there is nothing under
the sun upon which an opinion can
be based.

More Railroad Rumblines.

4
Last week we published the re.
port of q projected railroad from
Pollock to Colfax, and this week We
are pleased to publish bit of news
relative to the building of the north
and south railroad, that it is pro-
posed to run from Alexandria to
Shreveport, along the east side of
Red river, via Collar, Montgomery
and Coushatta.
On last Monday morning we
were pleased to have Mr.. P. 81.
Philbrick, chief engineer of the
Kansas City, Watkins and Gulf
Railway, call in the CHRONICLE
Office. and give us talk on railroad
matters. Mr.. Philbrick is making
q horseback survey of the proposed
extension of his railroad from AL
exandria to Shreveport, via Colfax,
and informs us that his company
will undoubtedly build this road.
The line will be practically straight,
and the distance will be about ll2 |
miles from Alexandria to Shreve-
port. He expects to complete his
inspection from this place to
Shreveport in a week or ten days,
having already come over the pro-
posed line from Alexandria to Col
tax, on his way north.
He says there is little or no doubt
but that the Kansas City Watkins
md Gulf Railway will extend its line
along the route indicated at an
'arly day. The line of course, will
70 upon the most practicable
ground, all things being equal; but,
where towns offer substantial en-
engagement, their desires will be
net in the way of local accomoda-
ion. In other words, that the road
nil not be run to any town unless
Inducements are given as to right
way, ground for depot, etc. The .
of Natchitoches and
lansfeld on this score, should be
efficient to emphasize the fact S
nat railroads are eold-blooded af-
Mrs when it comes to leaving \
'wn In the background that fails
respond to reasonable requests.
70 believe it the better policy to R
'bmit to considerable imposition
order to have immediate access
the main line, rather than to E
I'VE hereafter to tax ourselves to
hid tap road.

The w. G. T. u. Convention.

was their 18th annual session, and dele
gates were present from nearly every
parish in the State. the convention prov

successful ever held by these noble and
unfiring Christian workers. Mrs. Good

were present, and the occasion was one
OF great interest and importance in the
cause OF humanity and happiness.

INA speech before the Memphis
silver convention Senator Stewart
If Nevada, among other things, said:
"The people are uniting in every
section Of the country to strike for
liberty and recover their lostgovern-
ment. The American people have
been betrayed with kiss for the last
time. They now know that every
man who qualities his determination
to fight for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of is
to by the United States alone is
an enemy of the cause. All we de.
mand is the 16 to / statutes of 1884
and 1887. There were no ifs and
lands about those statutes. There
are none in the creed of a true BIZ
metallist. The only hope for gold
monopoly is to divide and conquer.
They have played that game for the
last time. The hearts of the people
are in a common cause, produced
by common calamity. Whatever
politicians and time servers may
do, the South and West and all
lovers of free institutions every
where will come together and rescue
this government from the gold
kings"

THERE is now no probability that
the rival Police Boards of Omaha
will resort to force, though yester-
day morning affairs looked serious.
When the A. P. A. Board met it
was expected they would order an
assault on the City Jail. It was re-
ported that 5000 A. p. A's from
Kansas City would help them.
Before proceeding to extremes
however, the A. p. A. held con-
ference with the old hoard, and it
was decided to leave the matter to
the Supreme Court if that body
would guarantee a quick decision.
The Supreme Court has signifed
a willingness to hear the case at
once and truce has been declared.

NOTHING that has come to the
front in late years has had more
nonsense written and talked about
it than aluminium. Aluminium is
a nice metal indeed, and has its
uses, but when it is said it will
supersede steel for structural pur-
poses, that is saying too much.
AS compared with steel the tensihle
strength of aluminium is about one
third as great, and as it is, bulk for
bulk, about one-third as heavy as
steel, it follows that for equal
strength the bulk ofs aluminium
must be three times as great as
that of steel. In other words, the
weight of aluminium must be equal
to that of steel in order that the ten
sible strength may be equal, so that
for structural work, such, for in
stance, as bridges, it does not ap-
pear to have any place on account
of lightness and would not, even at
the same price as steel, come into
use for such q purpose as bridge
building, especially since it is weak
under comparison, lacks rigidity
and its elastic limit appears to be
variable and uncertain quantity.
Some of its good qualities are it's
ductibility and its non-corrosibil-
ity under Ordinary conditions.
Should it come about that alumni
um is produced at the same price
as steel it will never to any notice
able extent rival the latter, but
beyond doubt for certain purposes
its use would be largely extended.
AS before said, it has its uses, but
its value is not enhanced by writ
ing and talking nonsense about it.
In fact, its us4 is only retarded by
such writing and talking, as men
are induced to use it for purposes
for which it is unsuited, the result
being prejudice against it for any
purpose. = Mining and Scientific
Press.

WHILE the murder of female
missionaries in China fills the civ
ilized world with horror, and the
murderers should be drawn and
quartered, the query arises, why is
it necessary to send civilized wo-
men at great expense to engage in
the hopeless task Of converting the
Chinese? The same expenditure
OF money in this country world do
ten times the amount Of good
among the white girls Of America.
There are those who are unkind
enough to intimate that the mis-
sionary trips to ,unciyilixed foreign
countries are more for pleasure
than profit, and that a life Of ORR
entail ease is All chat is sought.
This may be true in some cases,
but however that may be, there is
but little Indication that mission
AIRY work has done any good with

PARIS GARTER SHOW.
A Curious Collection or stocking
Ties or women Famous I'm History
and for Beauty.

and for Beauty.
An exceedingly interesting col
lection was shown at a we'll known
establishment on the Boulevard
Madelaine, recently, which attract
ed continuous crowds during the
entire day and evening. 1t was a
display of carriers belonging to his
torical ladies, and it was interest
ing for several reasons, the evidence
of lavish expenditure, the ingenu-
ity in devising decorative features
for the little hand and the unmis-
taxable proof given of the size of
famous limbs, or limbs that shared
fame with their owners. The gem
of the collections was pair of duly
authenticated elastics belonging at
one time to Mary, Queen of Scots
The articles were of faded red
clasped with a silver buckle of en-
truscan design, somewhat the worse
for wear. The owner of the collec-
ton added to the realism of the
display by fitting the carriers to
artificial limbs of wax, which,
measured by the capacity of the
garter, were supposed to be as near
ly to the size of the original az
guess work and some calculation
could make them. Upon this basis
the Scottish Queen possessed limbs
of decidedly creditable proportions.
A pair of almost incredible scope
were credited to Nell Gwynne, and
showed that young lady to have
been particularly sturdy. This
pair was made of white sheepskins
adorned with red roses stamped in
gold and having gold clasps. A
pair of faded blue silks, once worn
by the Princess of Wales, indicate
painful slendprness as the inherit
ance of that estimable lady.
A pair made of rose-hued satin
sewed with seed pearls, belonged to
Sarah Bernhardt, and from the
dummy limb associated with them
suggests that the attennosity of the
divine Sarah is rather more an adj
vertising than physical fact. On
this pair is displayed the warning
"Prenez Garde," worked in silk
floss.
A single garter of black silk
elastic with swallow shaped clasp
belonged to Taglioni, and card
attached to it gives a very pretty
romance. An Italian nob!eman
falling in love with the owner sent
her a proposal, with the concluding
remark: ''If you accept, give the
bearer one of your garters."
She accepted, the pretty article
was sent and now it is on exhibi-
ton. ~

Mr.. H0rr in his closing summary
OF Horr- Harvey debate refers to Mr..
Harvey's estimate Of foreign obllg-
atoms as follows:
"Mr. Harvey gave the foreign in
debtedness of this country as more
than three times the real amount.
He has again and again been called
out to tell when and how that vast
sum reached us. No such enormous
amount could have come without
some record of the transaction. He
has utterly failed to account for the
arrival of this vast sum which is a
confession that his statement is
groundless and only used to mis-
represent the condition of his count
ry."
II Mr.. Horn had explained when.
where and how, the $4,000, 100000,
which his banking friends admit
this country owes Europe, arrived
here, it would have answered the
question very effectively and in a
way that would have been very
mortifying 10 Mr.. Horr's friends.
The statistics of Treasury De-
partment shows that as far as trade
balances and the movements Of the
precious metals are concerned, that
there is a large balance in favor of
the United States. These records
would indicate that the other count
ries were in debt to the United
States, but such is far from the case.
Now we will attempt to show Mr..
Horn and his friends how it hap
pens that we are so heavily in debt
to Europe, when the trade balances
are in our favor. In 1896 the prin-
cipal Of our public debt was $780,
$4,000, and Of our public and pri-
vate debts at that time the Europe
ans held not less than fifty million
dollars. 1t is we'll known fact
that the Europeans have been very
accommodating in leaving the in
terest on their securities here for
reinvestment, this is practical and
effective compound interest. We
will now ask Mr.. Horr and his
friends to take glance at the com
pound interest table aid see what
fifty million dollars will grow to in
one hundred years.
At six per cent compound interes
money doubles in little less than
twelve years and the fifty million
dollar debt of 1895 will have grown
to more than ten billion dollars in
1895, and give the Europeans sew
eral billion dollars to live on dur
ing the accumulation.
We might name other methods
used by the money kings of Europe
for increasing our debt to them
without shipping any gold to us,
but we think the illustration we
have already drawn will completely
answer Mr.. Horr and prove Har-
vey's figures of our foreign obliga-
tons to be much nearer right than
those of the bankers who came to
Mr.. Horr's rescue. Farmer, in Re-
no Journal.
