WASHINGTON. July 15.-Secretary Carlisle
will return TO Washington this week. He will
find the business of the Treasury department
moving along smoothly ana satisfactorily.
The first shipment of gold drawn from the
Treasury since the last sale of bonds, took
place last week aud, although there is II dispo-
sition i'll Republican headquarters to make
that little shipment of Il quarter of Il million
dollars appear to be the beginning of Il deter
mined raid on the geld IN the Treasury, it is
not regarded as either significant or important
by Treasury officials. One OF them speaking
about it said: ut WAS merely shrewd dodge
on the part of an obscure banking firm in New
York to obtain some free advertising. They
know that such shipment at this time will be
commented upon by all the large newspapers
of the world, and they hope to make this ad
yertisement of their firm pay in other ways.
That is all there is to it.
The midsummer political dullness of Wash
ington was stirred up little by the announce
ment that the men who manage the Bmetallc
League, otherwise known as the Silver party.
had changed their minds about waiting until
the old parties had nominated their Presiden-
tial ticket and now intend that the silver ticket
shall be the fl st in the field 1t has also been
announced that the same gentlemen have con-
cluded that Sibley, who made Il talking tour
as the suggested candidate of the silver party,
will not do, and they are looking around for II
new candidate. 1t is no secret that this change
has been brought about by the certainty felt
by the league people that the Democratic par
ty will not split on the silverquestion, but will
fight the Presidential campaign united on the
platform adopted by the National Democratic
Convention to be held next year
An employee of the Office of the Comptroller
of Currency-Mr. w. l.. Seeley-who has just
returned from an official trip TO Tennessee, on
business connected with several national banks
which are in the hands OF receivers, says of the
business and political situation in thut State :
Il found very satisfactory condition of busi-
ness and feeling of confidence among the
people that an era of good times was Mt hand
In middle and western Tennessee the free sill
Yer sentiment undoubtedly dominates. In the
eastern part OF the State the silver feeling is
not so strong. The Democrats will not split on
that issue, however, but will make a straight
fight inside party lines and the minority will
bow to the expressed will of the majority"
Mr.. J. S. Clarkson, of Iowa, the X-Republi-
can boss. is one of the few members of his par
ty who isn't afraid TO condemn the methods
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt has adopted since he
became Police commissioner of New York
City to boom mis- candidacy for the U. =. Senate,
re says Roosevelt il enforcing laws that
eighty or ninety per cent. of the population of
New York city dsapprove of, and frequent
ly hear New Workers say they regret that they
voted the Republican ticket last fail. We had
an average Republican majority Of seventy
Thousand in Iowa until we got Prohibition.
Then the State became Democratic by twenty
thousand. Roosevelt is like IA boy with his first
pair of skates, and the Republican party is
sure to be held responsible for what he does
While Mr.. Clarkson doesn't use as vigorous
language as Senator Hill did to convey his
opinion of Roosevelt, it is evident that they do
not differ very much on that subject. although
wide apart upon many Others Roosevet'S
senatorial aspirations are likely to prove II
mighty good thing for the New York Demo-
Gratis.
Secretary Herbert is not alone in thinking
that the six new gun boats provided for by the
last Congress and for the construction of which
he is now asking bids will prove to be about
the most useful vessels in our Navy. They
will all be small, compared to the cruisers and
OF each is not to exceed $3.50. 600, exclusive of
the armor. Three of these gun boats are to be
provided with sails rs well as steam power.
They will be just the vessels needed in various
sci of some sort nearly all the time. They will
carry small crews and will be cheaply main
tanned and they can perform the duty of look
ing out for American interests in lots of places
just as effectively as one of the cruisers which
costs ten times as much to keep up.
Secretary Lamont has returned from his long
western trip. He speaks in the highest terms
of the reception he met with, and is specially
in his praise of the western people
and their whole souled hospitality. He is glad
he went and wants to go again. Z. A. 5.
In the vicinity of Boquet, Westmore Ian
Co Pa, almost any one can tell you how to
cure a lam, back or stiff neck. They dampen
IL piece of flannel with Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and bind it on the affected parts and in
one or two days the trouble has disappeared.
This same treatment will promptly cure pain
II. u. e.,
nent mel chant of Boquet, speaks very highly
of Pain Balm, and his recommendations have
bad much to do with making it popular there.

Asks your attention to the condition of the
children of the very poor living in the crowded
streets and alleys of our city.
Nl.fr... fd al, I'm fnrtrn in
ent state of society a class of people whose
living is entirely from hand to mouth; whose
best efforts in ordinarily easy times can only
meet the needs of one day at Il time, without
any possible margin for s'rainy day" and to
such people a scarcity of worH, sickness, acci.
dent to the bread-winner, and all the changes
and chances of such a life, mean lapse into
absolute want.
The children of this class-ma of them
delicate from want of intelligent attention and
proper food-haYe not much chance to lay up
happy memories. Even when the hard fight is
fought by their parents wavering-
there is much work and little play. School Gf
they are so fortunate us to have the time and
the proper clothcs), helping mother, minding
the perpetual baby, interposed with picking
up chips and perhaps getting cinders from the
garbage dump for fire, with the Damocles'
sword of hunger and cold, and possible separa-
ton just in sight, these things leave little
chance for the happy, care-free childhood we
feel to be their brthright.
And what can be said when the waters of
temptation have gone over the heads of fathers
and mothers and the weary struggle has given
place to indulgence weak and weaked enough?
1t is for children whose physical. or mental,
Dr. moral natures are starving that we ask your
help. We want them TO have fresh country air
for the little lungs, good country milk for the
hungry little bodies, new ideals of living for
the rea 1y little minds to see and perhaps to try
to initiate, and love and kindness to make hap
