THE DEMOCRATIC EDITORS CLUB HOME IN

II any di- vergenCp between the resolutions is to be discerned 1t Is in the mo 'e positive tone and temper of some of the wcstorn conven- tions in respect to absolute parity and equivalence of tho dollars.
 II do not see how any fair minded Flu ropean reading those resolutions, no mat ter by which state or Darty convention adopted, cnn infer that our voters intend to coin 50 cent silver dollars or to make half dollar to hc dollar in paying debts. do not think that a majority of either party in any state advocate coinage laws which tho advocates believe will produce a silver dollar of less valuo in fact than tho gold dollar. Those who urge m i'm mediate opening of our hints to silver on ratio of 16 really fancy. so far as the majority arc concerned, that the United States can. nlnne and unaided. do as much for silver now aS himetalllc France did from 1903 to 1873 l think that i'm pOss!ble-at least under present. condi tions, and so probably do you, but their faith in the power of our country may be more intense than is ours.

 "As n Democrat feel compelled thus to act by the declaration at Chicago in 1899, by the repeat ed declarations of tho Now York Democracy and as n senator by three existing laws enacted by congress declaring principle and policy.
 "1 am not in tho cOuusels of tho gold monomotallistS, but if l were l should suggest that they arc prejudicing tho cause of safe and sound currency at this moment by naGGinG over immaterial in cidents. as. for example, whether under the coinage law of l793 the silver dollar was the uniI of value The question Is immstsrial. since now under tho law of 1873 gold dollar Is the unit of value The present silver dollar. although a full legal tender dollar. has not been declared a unit of value. It is not of much con- sequence, and 1t is useless to nag our sill yer people herewith. And why nag now over what ratio an international confer snce can and will adopt? It may bo 15&. It may be le.

AN OLD PRussIAN DISH.
'rBeerflsh" Ia Alleged to Re Good When
 It Is Served Steaming Hot.

It Is Served SteaminG Hot.
 There is dish dear to every Prus- sian's heart, which may be, however, absolutely new in this country. All Germans may not know it, as it is not made in south Germany except in iso- lated cases. Beer is not its chief ingre- dient, but it plays an important part in the makeup.
 The dish is known as beerfish, and the German carp. praised of epicures, is herein treated in a manner worthy of the fish. It must Do made with half beer, or. in the absence of this, with weiss beer and porter. The fish is cut, not in half, like a shad. but in sections or squares. Three or four cuts across the fish arc all that is necessary. Of course the fish must be cleaned.
 A large glazed pot is used. 4 layer of large onions is placed on the bottom of tho pot. On this arc sprinkled various spices; then layer of substance call ed fish pfefferkuchen. which has more or less fish substance in it and can be procured at any German grocery or deli catessen store; then a layer of sliced lemon; then carp. This is repeated until the pot is full.
 A layer of onions is placed on top and beer is poured into the whole mass until all the interstices are filled. It is cook ed for 20 minutes over a slow fire, mean time adding a spoonful of vinegar and another of sugar. Beerflsh is delicious when it is cooked and served steaming hot. But its good qualities do not end here. for after it is cold it offers allure ments which make it hard to decide which way it tastes bettsT. hot or cold. Philadelphia Times.

ed by the ccnstl ut,on, a..u ssa ossSu,sa- tious pronensss, under the assumed garb of patriotic fsrvor and intense American ism, to fooliShly ombroil this country in a quarrel with foreign countries without justifiable cause or even plausible or de- cent excuse.
 "These dangerous tendencies recently exhibited were not inherited from our Democratic forefathers and can find no warrant in true Democratic teachings. If there is one principle more than another to which we arc committed by tradition us we'll as interest, 1t Is the doctrine of n strict construction of the federal conEtitu- tion. Permit me to remind you right here that the recent decision of the supr, me court of the United States, Gt which all good citizens rejoice, was reaclSd by the insistence upon a strict interpretation of the constitution. Patcrnalism, to which we have always professed opposition and which is the key stone of populistlc and so- oiaIistic doctrines. can only flourish under a liberal, broad and generous construction of constitutional restrictions. In my judg- ment the safety of the republic moro than anything else depends upon a firm adher- ence to this cardinal principle of our faith. Without it your ship of state is at sea without compass or rudder. and will help lessly drift coward every modern dogma and dangerous scheme for relief which a fickle and uniHtslliSsnt public sentiment may desire to have foisted upon the gov ernment.
 The Silver Question.
 "The question that is now creating the most burning issue in our national roli- tics is the silver question, and of that l wish to say few words
 If the resolutions adopted by the dele gates to tho national conventions held by each of the two great parties in lS92 and the resolutions adopted by those same par ties represented in tho several state con ventions of 1891 are an indication. it is plain that the voters of the country gen. srally prefer tho bimetallic system Of coin age that prevailed in the United States be- fore 1873
 Tn 1892 there was not much difference in that regard between the resolutions of the two greater parties. Tho Republican uses the word 'bimetallism, and hence the Republican state platforms of 1891 use that word more frequently than do the Democratic. but both refer to free hi- metallic coinage. Nearly all that refer to a ratio mention 16
 Few. if any, of the Democratic state platforms refer expressly to international cooperation, but half dozen Republican platforms do, as in Connecticut Dela- ware Indiana Maine, New York. North Carolina Oregon and North Dakota. Sew eral conventions exclude silver monometal- lism and gold mOnometallism, as in Iowa,

How Were They Reared and How Was

Of tn so thcro arc many scattered over the Milo valley, some If brick, some of stone and of varied height The two largest arc ill the noishhorhood of Cairo. They arc and have been for thousands of years the most colossal monuments in the world.
 Tho largest, that of Chcops, in its original state iS said to have been 500 feet high and the length of its baSo on each side the same. It is built of huge stones ranging from ? to f feet in height. IL is now rugged and hns tho character as we'll as the appearance of q four sided great stairway. Tho hollows between tho steps Aro believed to havo been filled in with white marble, which would shine like snow under tho bright Egyptian sun. Tho pyramid is now much reduced im height. not being moro than 500 feet. It iS generally admitted that tho pyramids were built for tombs and on certain astronomical principles.
 There is an inner chamber where the sarcophaEus was placed. When mon arch began to reign, Ec commenced to build his tomb. When ho died, his b )tly was rlaccd in the sacred chamber pre- pared for it, and tho opening which led to it was closed. Tho pyramid was then completed. If the monarch : reign was long, tho pyramid was large If short. the pyramid was small.

The Minstrel's Generosity to Man wh
 Had Befriended Him.

A3u DrAElenuGu
 The head of the famous Christy min. strel troop was not George, but D. P. l Christy, who originated the company some time back in tho forties. and the following story of the aatter is interest ing:
 Christy, then a young man, was q passenger on Lake Erie steamboat commanded by Captain FolGer and bound to Buffalo, where the first show was to come of. But the minstrel had not even a dollar to invest in the hire of cellar for the performance. Cap tain Folger, to whom he made known his wants, generously handed him q S20 bill, telling him that he was welcome to it, and that he need not trouble him. self about paying it back. On the strength of this SEQ Christy began busi. ness and ill few years became success ful and rich.
 In the meantime misfortunes overlook Captain Folger Losing his employment on the lakes, he resolved to try again the salt water on which he was brought up So he came to New York to see if he could obtain n situation as master or, failing that, as mate of q seafaring vessel.
 He bethought himself of Christy, whom he supposed might possibly know some shipowner to whom he could rec commend him. The minstrel received him most cordially, but told him that he had no acquaintances in that line of business.
 Why don't you buy a ship?" he asked.
 Buy a shipI" answered Folger "Why, haven't dollar in the world. All l want is employment. "See here, returned Christy, "hoW much would a vessel cost?'
 Any price," replied tho Captain. "A pretty good one could be bought for, say, SEQ, GOO or less" Well, now," exclaimed the big hearted snowman, ''you loaned mo &20 once, and am ashamed to say I have forgotten to pay it, but will pay my debt now. Go and buy a SEQ, 900 ship and send tho seller to mo for the money. I will own her, and you shall sail her. If she makes anything, you shall have it. If she don't, I shall stand the loss. " This is the conversation, word for word, as Captain Folger told it to me. had just returned from an East Indian voyage ill tho Vandalia, a ship of about 400 tons. One day Captain Folgsr came on board at the dock and introduced | himself. He said he would like to buy the ship and asked the price. It SO hHp- l pened that SEQ. GOO WAS tha sum had de- cidcd upon. After a little dickerinG he offered me SIS. GOO. and accepted it.
 To my astonishment, he referred me to E. P. Christy as tho purchaser. and then he told me tho story as l tell it. We went together to see Christy, and the result of tho interview was that gave him bill of sale of the Nandalia, taking his note in payment, tho note to be paid ill installments, and every mOrn- ing after ono of his entertainments 1 called upon him and received q hatful of bills, quarters, shillinGs and six pences until the indebtedness was can celed.
 Captain Folger made a successful voyage to California in the VandAlis. The ship was then sold, and Christy bought n larger and more expensive ship, cn board of which Captain FolGsr eventually died at Calcutta John Cod. mau i:l th" New York II, lHid
