when the people look Owe the result
of the recent elections, the thought
ful ones will ask where the difficulty
is, what is wrong that causes the
people to strike all the time such ter
rible blows at the party in power,
The answer is easy. 1t is because
the people are not prosperous, and
the only reason that can be given
why they are not, is because the
half of the primary money of the
country has been denied recognition;
all prices are measured and establish
ed by the amount of gold in the
country, and this reduces values to
"A point which leaves no profits to
producers. When the people fully
understand this, then redemption
will come. When is this to be?
Excuse us. The proposition is sim
pie rs \ b G, but in two and twenty
years the people have not learned
the lesson.

A Dowry on Approval.

A curious custom prevails among
Roumanian peasants. When a Rou-
manian girl is of a manageable age,
all her t%rousseau, which has been
carefully woven, spun and embroid-
cred by her mother and herself, is
placed in a painted wooden box.
When a young man thinks of asking
to be allowed to pay his attentions to
the girl, he is at liberty first to open
the box, which is always placed on
~veniently at hand, and examine the
%trousseau. If the sutton is satisfied
with the quantity and quality of the
dowry, he makes a formal applica-
ton for the girls hand, but if, on
the contrary, the trousseau does not
please him, he is quite at liberty to
retire. London Woman.

leading my horse to the stable, when 1
saw a man and woman come up the mar.
row path between the stable and the
house. They were In conversation which
was carried on in the ordinary tone, and
/ though they must be looking for a tene-
mcns.
Suddenly / saw the man draw a re-
volvcr and fire q shot at the woman, who
was only three feet distant. The woman
exclaimed OH OH and started to rup
around the house, when the man fired
again at her.
Seeing the man again raise the revol-

direct range ! started TO run to q place of
safety, when | saw Mcleod take the re.
volvcr In both hands and placing the muz-
zIe under his right ear, discharged the re-
volver. The muzzlc was so close to his
ear that it fairly lifted him off his feet,
killing him instantly.
Mrs. Mcleod ran around to the front

The doctors pronounce that her wound
is not dangerous and say that she will re-
cover. The couple was divorced and Nc
Leod was angry because the woman would
not return to him.

mas been given out officially at the state
department: Upon Acting Secretary
Adee's attention being called to the state
ments that much dissatisfaction was felt
at the state department because Dir
Denby had not been heard from for sew
eral days and that he was supposed to
have taken umbrage at instructions lately
cabled TO him, Mr. Adee said that he had
authorized no expression of the depart
ments opinion as to the cause of Mr.
Denby silence for the simple reason that
no opinion had been formed or could ra-
tionally be formed in the absence of
knowledge of the facts The promptncss,
good Judgment and energy with which
Colonel Dcnby had acted upon the in
structions heretofore sent him negativcd
any hasty conjecture that he was not now
endeavoring with alacrity to fulfill the
duties imposed upon him by the depart
ment's kilograms of the past week.

said, that China Is country of slow COM

The Doubtful Zeal
of the local viceroys and provincial gov

all those divers factors into concurrent
working might well battle Mr.. Dcnby's
natural desire to report to the department
successful action upon it's Instructions
To take the case of the Ku-Cheng in
vestigation, communication with the con
sui at Foo-Cho was obviously necessary
to any intelliqent action, and Mr.. Hixson
appeared to have put himself beyond tcle-
graphic reach. The need of communcat-
ing with him by personal messenger
perhaps explains the press reports that
Commander Newell of the Detroit had
gone to Ku-Cheng to see him, of which,
however the state department has no con-
drmation.
The kilograms from Shanghai and Hong
Kong are to bo taken with some allow
ance, by reason of the apparent disposition
in those quarters to work up prejudice
against the diplomatic and naval repre-

be more likely to complicate and defeat
