Critical Logic Failed.

The late Sherlock Holmes had IA
vorite dictum: Eliminate the impos-
sible, and what is left, however i'm
probable, must be the truth" This was
not at all in accordance with the saying
of Victor Hugo: Nothing is so immi-
nent as the impossible. What must be
always foreseen is the unforeseen.
Most of us will agree, from experience,
with Hugo rather than with Holmes.
The impossible does happen. When
MERCY Philbrick's Choice" was pub
lished in tho ''No Name" series, the
critics were agreed that it seemed to be
written by Helen Hunt Jackson. But,
as those who knew her love for flowers
and acquaintance with nature also
pointed out, she could not be the au-
thor, for there were several glaring mis-
takes in the naming and placing of
blossoms in the story. Yet, as was aft
erward disclosed, she did write it. So
all the theorizing went for nothing

DIR. Newman Smythe's Discovery.

Several years ago the happy thought
occurred to me that newspaper report
er was human being, who, like other
human beings, was under the necessity
of making his living by diligent work,
and that he was therefore not to be
treated as an enemy of mankind. Since
l made that discovery l have found no
class of men more quick to respond or
willing to pay careful regard to the
courtesies aud the confidence of gentle
manly intercourse. And whenever I
have myself met newspaper men fairly
and frankly have never known one of
them Intentionally to misrepresent or to
abuse such confidence. My experience
leads me to conclude that if citizens gen.
orally would help newspaper men in all
legitimate inquiries the public would
have less reason to complain either Of
inaccurate Or improper news -Hart-

Robert Burns.

1t is amusing to learn that Burns,
when just emerging from obscurity,
jocularly anticipated that his birthday
would come to be noted among other re-
:narkable events. In letter to his early
patron, Gavin Hamilton, in 1856, he
says: "For my own affairs 1 am in a
fair way of becoming as eminent as
Thomas Kempis or John Bunyan, and
you may henceforth expect to see my
birthday inscribed among the wonder
full events in the Poor Robin and Aber-
deem Almanacks along with the Black
Monday and the battle of Boutwell,
Bridge. '-Philaaelphia Ledger.

LINES BY LEO XIII ON HIS DEATH.

The setting sun at this thy close Of day
On thee o Leo, sheds its parting ray.
Within thy withered veins, thy wasted frame,
Slow, slow burns downward life's expiring
flame.
Deaths arrow flies, the funeral veil unfolds,
The cold remains, the grave her conquest holds,
But swift the painting soul, her fetters rivcn,
Spreads her free wings and seeks her native
heaven.
The long and toilsome road has reached its
end.
Thy holy will, my Saviour, attend,
And If so great grace thou canst accord,
Receive my spirit in thy kingdom, Lord
-Churchman.

SHERMAN AND HILL.
They Hold Opposite Views on the
Silver Question.
The Two Senators Represent the Views of
Their Respective Parties on This
Question.

Senator Sherman, in his speech at
GAINESVILLE spoke as follows on the silver
question:
1--WE are in favor of sound national
currency always redeemable in coin.
All forms OF money should be OF equal
purchasing power. For IA years after
the resumption OF specie payments, while
the republican party was in power, we
had such currency. We had gold, sill
yer and paper money, all bearing the
stamp and sanction OF the United States.
OF nnquestioned credit and OF equal value,
passing current not only in the United
States,but in all parts of the commercial
world. Both gold and silver are indispen-
sable for use in the varied wants of man
KIND. Gold is now and has been for ages,
the chief efmeasure of value eininternatonal in
commerce and the larger transactions of
domestic exchanges. Silver. from its
bulk and weight, is not available for
large payments either at home or abroad,
but tits Indispensable in the minor wants
OF mankind. Gold, from its greatly su-
pcrior value, cannot be utilized for such
purposes. Therefore it is that both met
ais have been coined into money at a
fixed ratio. The enormous increase in
the production OF silver in the United
States, Mexico and Australia has dis.
turbcd this ratio and has lowered the
marketable value of silver precisel, as a
like increase OF production has lowered
the price OF other commodities. 1t is a
universal law that price or value is meas.
urcd by quantity. Under these condi.
tons the rational and proper cours,
would he change OF ratios, but this car

a concert of action among commercial
nations. Until this can be accomplished
the onl Y logical way is for each nation tC
coin both metals and maintain the coin

nate our candidates and declare our
platform, and then make our appeal to
the intelligence OF the people OF Ohio.
In all the great issues made in the last
40 years the republican party OF Ohio
has had the courage to propose and do
what is right. Let us follow in the same
pathway, and we will not only elect
republican Governor and state officers,
but also another republican senator, and,
as hope, a president OF the United
States from the state of Ohio"
Senator Hill was asked whether he
had read Senator. Sherman's speech on
the monetary question.

carefully perused Senator Sherman's
GAINESVILLE speech on silver, which the
New York Evening Post commends as
"a sound deliverance.' ii an Ohio dem
ocrat had made the speech, there would
have been condemnation all along the
republican ranks. The implication
startled me that there are, in prosper

who wish to degrade our dollar standard,
repudiate one-half our public debt, and
pay their debts in cheaper money than
they promised to pay. | have not met

for me to believe that majority in any
American state, or in any American
congress, will vote to create new dol
lar merely in order that thereby debtors
may evade the payment OF one-half, one
quarter, or any percentage of what they
owe and have promised. That would be
worse and more indeiensibe than the
creation in 1862 by Senator Sherman's,
party, OF the full legal tender greenback
dollar. Then the country was in the
agony OF civil war, but now there is pro-
found peace.
"Until read the latest legal tender
decision in 1883 by a arepublcan supreme
court in billiards case, did not think
that our highest judicial tribunal could
, tolerate such reputation OF private con-
tracts by a degradation OF our legal ten
der dollar. 1t had not been attempted
in our history till 1862. Whether our
standard dollar was silver or gold, or
; both, it was from 1892 to 1862 an honest
standard, an undegraded standard.
During these seventy years nobody loan
r ing dollars felt it necessary in note or
bond as now, to describe the dollars
OF payment as gold dollars OF present
l weight and finenesss.' Not till 1869 did

believe that the policy OF the United
States, adopted in 1858, in coming frac-
tional silver coins in limited quantities
from silver bullion purchased at market
price and making them legal tender for
small sums, is the only way to preserve
the parity OF gold and silver coins at a
fixed ratio. This is properly called bi
metallic money. | hope and believe the
common interest OF commercial nations
will lead them, through an international
commission, to either adopt new ratio
based on market value of the metals or
to coin them and maintain them, as we
do, at their present ratio.
"The policy now urged by the producers
OF silver and by men who wish to pay
their debts in cheaper money than they
promised to pay, is the free coinage OF
silver. 1t is the degradation of our dol
lar to so cents. Ii applied to our ma
tiona bonds it is reputation OF one
half OF the public debt. 1t is the repu-
diation OF one-half OF all debts. 1t cor-

"The great hardships OF this policy

Their wages will purchase more OF the

would ask for the dismissal OF the Indictment IS
against ex-Police Captain Doherty, Sergeants Leb.
