Agricultural fairs are now fast
ripening. The Mount Gretna Fair
opened on Monday to continue
throughout the week. They claim for
its exhibits of agricultural products,
farming implements, live stock, poul-
try, &c, that they are this year unex-
celled by any previous exhibition.
This sounds kind OF fair like as an at.
tractive inducement. Then, besides,
to further attract, the board of man.
agement assures the innocent public
that both Governor Hastings and
Senator Quay are on the program for
speeches.

What Mr.. Harvey Says.

In speaking of the manner in which
the silver dollar was destroyed in 1873,
Mr.. Harvey, in the Horr-HarVey de-
bate in Chicago, chases the culprit
in the vicinity Of John Sherman's domi-
cile. Mr.. Harvey said:
IT want every man and woman in
American, who wish to preserve free
government to this republic, to read
the Congressional Record, giving the
words uttered in the senate on Jan. II,
1873. 1t shows that the silver dollar
was in the bill that came from the
house that was to put us on the French
ratio, and that the senate agreed to 1t.
Mr.. Sherman himself eXtolled 1t and
said that it was a dollar that would
float around the world. This dollar
was agreed to by both houses and was
in the bill when it went to the confer
ence committee. The duty Of the con-
ference committee was to settle dis
puted questions on which the two
houses had disagreed. The silver dol
lar was not one of the questions on
which the two houses had disagreed,
and yet the bill turns up enrolled, with
the silver dollar erased from the bill by
the conference committee. Senator
Sherman and Mr.. Hooper Of the house
handled the bill, and these two men or
a corrupt clerk made the omission.
The significance Of this can best be
understood when I say that these men
represented that they were re-enacting
the law of 1853, except in changing the
size Of the silver dollar and the law
of 1862, the silver dollar only had free
access to the mint"

Not the humble and proud, for in life's

Boss Rule.

The people of the United States are
under the rule Of the political bosses,
always have been and always will be
unless the masses decide to take a
greater interest in practical politics.
The boss rules because he grasps the
scepter and nobody objects. His reign
is a usurpation, and is possible simply
because of his impudence and the luke
warmness of the people in asserting
their rights. There is an occasional
revolt like that in Pennsylvania against
Quay, but the result usually is that one
boss is deposed and another enthroned.
This is the outcome for the reason that
the revolt is not by the people at large
but that Of one political faction against
another faction. 1t is never an upris-
ing Of the people at large; and better
things cannot be hoped for until voters
as a mass, the common millions, assert
their power in politics and transform
politics from a professional game to
strict, common matter Of business. The
boss Is sure to come to grief sooner or
later for he constantly grows more ar
rogant and tyrannical; but while his
downfall may be a source Of satisfac-
ton, the people are not benefited, for
while the boss goes, his methods re-
main.-Voice.

A SHAM BATTLE.
The Money Power Can Control Both
Silver and Gold.

The Money Power Can Control Both
Silver and Gold.
Current Voice: The money power In
control Of this country is not idiotic
It is of the highest intelligence
1t is satisfied that the people will have
silver. But it is making fight against
silver, and making the issue, hoping
to engage the attention Of the people on
this matter, and keep them from con-
sideration Of fiat money. The fellow
who argues for the reconciliation
of silver argues for a metallic basis, and
commodity value in the substance on
which money should be stamped.
This argument will so educate and
commit the people to intrinsic value
of money that it will take long time
to ,correct this and educate the people
to a government paper fiat money.
So long as the money power can con-
fine primary money to metal-so long
as redemption money is stamped on
metal, this power holds its control.
With the present concentrated for
tunes it is easy for this power to con-
troll the money metals. They can now
more easily control both metals than
could one in 1878.
This power can buy up all the sill
yer mines in the United States and
Mexico, stop the mining, let the smelt-
ers go out Of blast. Silver can be
mined and smelted only at great cost.
This is an industry that cannot be
entered into by individuals with small
capital. The capital for silver mining
will be withheld; and the output Of sill
yer practically stopped. And for at
least another twenty years this money
power will have absolute control Of the
finances Of the country. 1t is only an
other sham battle that tho money pow
er is fighting on the silver issue.
We Popullsts must not forget that
the only permanent settlement, and ra-
tional solution Of the money question
is in paper currency issued by the
government. lLt

A few weeks ago, an ignorant, pas
sionate italian girl employed in one OF
the sweat shops of New York, cut the
throat Of the man, who under promise
of marriage had betrayed her, and then
contemptuously refused to fulfill his
obligations, remarking: Boys marry,
men do not" The girl was tried, and
sentenced to death, and although 10000
petitions have been sent by men and
women to the governor, urging pardon
or at least communication Of sentence,
for a deed committed in the frenzy OF
shame and despised love, no hint or
token has been given by the august
executive that the law will relax It's
hold upon the girls life.
On the second day of August, Miss
Elizabeth M. Flagler, only daughter OF
Gen. Daniel w. Flagler, chief OF ord
nance, U. S. A., shot and instantly
killed fourteen-year-old colored boy
for stealing pears on the grounds OF the
Flagler residence.
The boy it appears had walked out
into the country, and the fashionable
suburbs where the Flaglers reside. See
ing the luscious fruit hanging tempt
ingly near the fence, he yielded to the
temptation, and put two or three pears
in his pocket. From the second story
window Miss Flagler observed the boy
ish act; filled with rage at the loss OF
her pears she fired; the bullet entered
the boys heart, who fell to the ground
and died without uttering word. A
meaner and crueler act was never COM
mitted; yet the verdict Of the cOroner's
jury acquitted Miss Flagler of criminal
intent, and was couched in the follow
ing language: 1--WE find that the said
Ernest Green came to his death by a
bullet fred from a pistol held In the
hands Of Elizabeth Flagler, but we DO
not think she did it with murderoua
intent. We believe that the shots were
fired carelessly and indifferently, but
upon the evidence we cannot hold her"
We are further told that the Flaglers
are very prominent in army social cir
cles; that they have a handsome house
Of an italian style, beautifully fur
nished, and that Miss Flagler Is tall
and dignified
Gen. and Mrs Flagler are in Wash
ington, and Miss Flagler, when she re-
covers from the shock Of killing the
colored boy, will accompany her par
ents on an extended trip abroad.
Do we need anything more to con-
vince us that the people have no rights
that wealth is bound to respect; that
in our class distinctions there is one
law for the poor and another for the
rich. One girl, child of poverty, robbed
Of her only PROFESSIONALISM honor
maddened with shame and grief, Stays
her betrayer, and is sentenced to death.
Another girl, proud daughter Of wealth,
is robbed-of her pears-by foolish
boy, and instantly kills the boy robber,
but is acquitted on the ground that she
fired carelessly and indifferently."
One wretched girl in the death cham
Der awaits her doom; the other in a
luxurious home is preparing for a trip
abroad.

trestle, the Columbus street bridge, will
be ready for operation. It is recent
invention, and the only one now in use
is located at Ashtabula. 1t weighs sew

ed with coal and dumping the fuel into
a boat in the river, it does away with
the employment of nearly 100 men,

Does away with the employment of
hundred men" does it?
But what does 1t do with the men?
What does it do with their wives?
= What does it do with their children
II they go to the next town in search
Of work, they find that another ma
chine has just dispensed with the en-
ployment Of hundred other men.
If they start through the country in
search Of work, they find thousands Of
men ahead Of them.
Finally their rents are unpaid, their
families are turned out on the highways
to beg, steal or starve.
If they beg they are sent to prison to
work for nothing.
II they steal they are imprisoned for
life.
If they do neither they starve to
death.
What is to become of the hundred
men and their wives and children?

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY srARsq
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.

An attempt 10 SOAV0 bho Oko@S NASoSSAJ
of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds Of Passage"
the Chautauquan says IL one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer, he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge of the unfailing
stars. The Great Bear and Orion APP
peared at the same time in our region,
even when the divisions Of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
Of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mlsts. On starlight nights stray
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky Is overcast when the night Is
dark, but especially when fine rain is
falling, multitudes of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose Of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers Of
them bound against the windows Of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. %, 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowf1akes
against the lighthouse of Hellgoland,
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Hellgoland. Toward the end Of the
summer, along into the fall, 1t was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light Of street lamps,
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by Its call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull, occasionally hears
even the flap Of their wings. But no
bird is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stars appear; then 1t Is that
the straylng b:cI loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds in their migrations. But only the
future can tell us whether they really
serve In that capacity.

said 10 have laid aside his yigor-

encouraged lthe great orators Of
his Cabinet, Secretary Carlisle,

stump and oppose with all their
vigor and energy the monetary
movement which he believes
threatens the national credit and
