II saw a painful sight to-day said
Mr.. Junius, as his wife handed him the
toast, says the Rockland Tribune.
wei. there! cried Mrs. Junius, up
lifting her hands. now don't for pity $
sake go telling me of any of those horrid
stories about poor people falling off build
ings and breaking their legs or at least
their ribs and then having pieces put in
the paper. 1 mean of course pieces that
you read and not of course pieces of
their legs, for that wouldn't be good
sense but 1 do think that there are so
many such things in every paper you
pick up and 1T Just fairly makes my
blood run cold or at least that's what
people call it. but l don't suppose it's
any colder than it usually is, and now
for the lands sake Junius, don't sit there
saying nothing, for don't you see how
nervous l am, but tell me what was the
sight you saw that was so awfully pain
full"
And while his wife was stopping for
an instant at the blind crossing, Mr.
Junius softly answered.
1T was a window sash-one of those
new style ones you understand, with
little diamond panes in it,"
Just as Mrs. Junius recovered her
breath, Mr.. Junius was out sitting the
ashes.

A Dangerous Experiment.
The Louisville Courier-Journal .Dem).

While favoring the independent free
coinage of silver, Mr. Crisp thinks that
If an international conference should set
tie the question before we can act on It,
less of the element of experiment in IL"
So Independent free coinage by the United
States would be an experiment, after all!
Moreover, it would be an experiment
which has failed wherever tried even
under circumstances much more favor
able than those which prevail now. a
national currency is the most dangerous
thing possible to experiment with, and it
was on his emphatic affirma ton of oppo-
sition to such experiments that the Pres
ident OF the United States was elected.

"Coin" Makes Another Confession.
From the Chicago Times Herald Qnd).

Coin" in your article last Thursday in
the Times-HeTald, you said; 1T will be
observed that Hamilton's suggestion of
two units, a gold unit and a silver unit,
was not adopted, and Jefferson's position
was adopted of unit on silver only
Did YOU really mean that?
Yes.
You mean, then. that we did not adopt
bimetallic system having a unit in both
gold and silver?
That is what l mean.
Then, Coin you must be exposed.
You are guilty of another attempt to de-
ceive You know that both gold and silver
coins were legal tender for debts in the
ratio Of Is to in coin by the act of 1892?
Yes.
Then, on page 10 of your book. you said.
in speaking of the period prior to 1873:
Thus silver and gold were the measure
of values"
Yes. l said that Anyone can find the
passage.
Then you do not agree with yourself
Which is Philip drunk and which Is
Philip sober? To which can we appeal?
Both statements cannot be true. 1t can
not be true that only silver was the none
tary unit and Yet that both silver and gold
were the measure Of value.

There is another new disease. It is call
ed grip back" and the conductors on ca
BILE cars are the chief victims, though pas
sepgers who habitually ride on the car
platforms also have it. 1t comes from the
swinging and humping of the car, causing
the back of the conductor Tor passenger
to strike the rail of the fender at the rear
of the car The symptoms are said to be
somewhat similar to cold in the back, or
lumbago. The presence Of the complaint
is reported from several cities in which
cable cars are operated. 1t may be that
the trolley cars serve their conductors in
the same manner. and that the conductors
have not yet found out precisely what the
trouble is. The trolleys sometimes bounce
and bump enough to disjoint a vertebra.

The south Would suffer.
waynesDoro (aa9 True citizen Dem)

The south would be the greatest sufferer
in the United States if the free coinage of
silver should prevail. Stewart of Nevada
is the head of the IS TO l movement and
he would make millions of gold out of his
disinterested 60 patriotism. And yet
there are people in the south who want
to accept this quandam republican for
their adviser. His ideas if they should
prevail would compel the south to take
his silver for which he would pocket gold
silver worth no where in the world more
than 80 cents in the dollar.

The police census of New York. which
has just been completed. shows the popu-
lation Of that city TO be 1.s49.S66. an in
crease of 2S6364 over the population as
given ia the federal census of 1890. The
federal census was taken in the summer,
when. the population was considerab bly,
below its normal number. and the police
census was taken in the spring before the
summer exodus had begun, hence the
apparent increase shown is not unreason-
ably large.

cIcveIand's ThIrd Eerm Chances.

In Chicago there appears TO be strong
belief that Mr.. Cleveland is seeking 10
have himself nominated for President in
1896 by those who stand squarely by honest
money. and Chicago newspaper has gone
10 the trouble 20 send inquiries to leading
men of all political parties with the view
of finding out whether they think he IS a
Presidential candidate or not. From the
replies received II seems there are good
many who believe he is a candidate on a
gold standard platform.
Naturally a good many people think he
f. a Presidential candidate. not from any
thing he has said, but because he seems
10 he about the only strong leader In
either political party who has the courage
10 say just what his position is on the
money question Is. II viii be remembered
that when other democratic leaders were
timid in their utterances on the tariff
question Mr.. Cleveland spoke out boldly
and clearly. and eventually led his party
TO victory on the tariff issue It is be-
cause Mr. Cleveland has the courage of
his convictions that the people look TO
him as a leader.
We do not believe however, that Mr..
Cleveland is planning for a third term.
He has thrown out number of intima-
tions within the last year that he will be
wholly out OF politics after the expiration
Of his present term. And even If ne had
an ambition for another term the way TO it
does not seem 10 be open TO him. 1t is too
carly to say whether the silverites will
control the next national democratic con-
vention or not II they should they
wouldn't think OF nominating Mr.. Cleve-
land. and If they shouldn't they would be
strong enough to prevent his nOmina-
ton. Ifsthe Democratic party should split,
as some think probable. he would hardly
accept a nomination from one Of the fac
tions, as ne would be defeated.
In some Of the replies the intimation is
thrown out that the republicans may
nominate him. An intimation of that sort
is not worth considering. Mr.. Cleveland
is a democrat and the republicans are not
likely to nominate democrat. From pres
ent indications Mr. Cleveland has no
chance of being nominated by any faction
or party, and there is no ground for saying
that he is planning for a nomination on
a gold standard platform or any other.
What he is now trying 10 do is to pre-
vent his party from committing the folly
of declaring ia favor of the free coinage
of silver. If he succeeds in doing that he
will be content to retire to private life at
the end of his present term OF office.

May week Festivities.

May week celebration is by no means
new institution in Savannah, though in
the more recent years it has become rather
a reunion Of the merchants of the city
and their fellow merchants and other
friends from the adjacent towns and
country The May week observances in
the olden time included grand military
parade on May day, which was followed
by succession of picnics and excursions
by military and other organizations. May
day was more generally observed In Sa-
vannah than any other holiday, excepting
Christmas. When and where the custom
Of celebrating the advent of bright skies
and sunny weather, when the trees put
forth their shades of green and the woods
are sweet with balmy breezes sweeping
through pines and oaks, was inaugurated
by our people history fails to tell but the
custom goes back far into the past. and
possibly dates from the settlement of the
colony when the newcomers from far
away land brought with them the celebra-
ton of the May pole one of the holiday
institutions of Old England.
This years celebration will combine the
old and the new May week, the military
parade and the holiday, together with the
display of our merchants. 1t promises to
be equal, IL not better, than any preceding
Observance of this time honured festival.
Savannah extends a hearty invitation to
all her friends to honor her with their
company and promises them a hearty
welcome.

What has become of the spring song
birds? All New England is asking the
question. 1t appears that in that section
there are this spring fewer birds than ever
before within the memory of "the oldest
inhabitants" Whether there is a short
age in the bird supply in the south or not
we are not prepared to affirm or deny.
No lack of the feathered songsters has
been noted, and 1t seems that there are
just about as many hooking birds and
blue birds and cat birds and sparrows in
the trees in the streets and parks Of this
city, as ever before. There are certainly
as many sparrows, but when song birds
and desirable birds are under discussion,
sparrows don't count" because they are
mo count" That there is a deficiency of
birds in New England, however, seems to
be settled. In trying to account for the
fact the newspapers are suggesting all
sorts of ideas The Hartford Times. for
instance, thinks maybe the extremely cold
winter at the south proved too much for
the birds, and that, like the Florida or
anges, only time can bring them back. 1t
may be the Times is correct.
