most confidence in the certainty of keeping the gold reserve unimpaired without the further aid Of the syndi- cate, but then the treasury officials have fallen down on every calculation they have yet made and nobody has the least confidence in their prognostica- tions.
 If drain of the gold now on hand shall begin, with however great caution at first. it will go on until another issue of bonds will become necessary-and the people will see the hand of the gold monopolists in it from first to last. There are nine chances to one that that is the sort of scheme settled upon dur ing Morgan's visit on the other side, and that the nasty payment of the last installment of gold due on the last deal was the first move in the direction of another loan.

ployed in divorce case marries the fair divorcee whose cause he had ad- vocated. But in the interim before marriage he falls in love with another married woman whose husband pre- cipitates tragedy in which ultimately the lawyer and his new bride both com nit suicide in dramatic fashion. That Paris is the center of imm orality, where domestic purity and happiness are the exception rather than the rule, may be taken as proved by eye-wit- nesses, by newspaper report and by the mass of promiscuous and salacious literature which issues from the Paris publishing houses. The pictures of Parisian life among all classes revealed in their naked reality by writers of the school of Zola represent an actual con- dition of things.
 It is unfair, however, to extend the inference and apply to the French peo pie generally what is true only of the cosmopolitan Psrisian. Reliable sta tistics on the comparative vice in the various European nations are annually published, and from these it would ap- pear that France, so far from being distinguished for it's prohigacy, is singularly free from the vice of adultery. To take one test, France and Ireland are the two nations of Europe which show the fewest cases of bastardy. | Family life in the French provinces is 8 8 model of sweetness and purity. In this matter then, if not in politics, it holds good that Paris is not France.
 The sympathy and historic affection between OUT own country and ''La belle France" make it someting of per sonal matter to remove the stigma which ignorant prejudice has branded on her fair name.

TALKING ABOUT MORE BONDS

No sooner was the last payment due from Cleveland's "honest money" syn dicate in sight than speculation as to the probability of another bond issue began. And it is now worrying some people to find out whether the pledge of protection that was exacted from the gold ring really did extend to the first of October or only until the last install- ment of the bonds is delivered.
 Nobody has yet seen the letter of the contract negotiated between the gold sweaters and MT. Cleveland, and there is no end to the uncertainty as to what may grow out of it.
 The original deal has now been prac- tically completed. The bonds which were given the syndicate at their own price are seliing'on the open market al sn advance of 19 cents. It was right profitable bit of speculation, and there is no doubt that they are becoming anx ious to get some more of the same sort
 It is the understanding that the secret contract pledged to them the control O any further issue that might become necessary, and the completion of th' first deal following immediately on thu heels of Banker Morgan's return iron his flying trip to Europe is an indica tion that something is in the wind.

SHOULD BE SUPPORTED.

SHOULD BE SUPPORTED.
 Silver men should give their support to the American, of Philadelphia. It is issued by the Barker Publishing Com. pany and its editor lis Wharton Barker, who has wide reputation as a banker and as an authority upon financial questions. MT. Barker was one of the first among eastern men to grasp the intimate relation existing between prices and money of ultimate redemp- tion and he has become fearless and effective advocate of true bimetallism. He also seized upon the necessary re. latIon between bimetallism and protec. tion, realizing that it is almost useless to build up the rewards of industry by one policy if they are to be torn down by another.
 The objects and purposes of the American are set forth by the president of the company that publishes it in part as follows:
 "The purpose of the American is to make an active and aggressive battle for true American policy, in which the restoration of silver to it's place as money, by the independent action of the United States, and the maintenance of true protective system. considerate alike of all sections of the country, but unduly favoring no one section or class to the prejudice of any other, are the most important points. The proper settlement of the silver question is far more important to the agriculturist and the manufacturer, as we'll as to the wage earner, than to the mine owner. There can be no real prosperity until bimetallism is re.established. The Re- publican party must stand unequivocal- ly for bimetallism, protection and America for Americans if it is to com mand the votes of the plain people. The presidential candidate must be a man whose record pledges him to such a policy.
 Protection and bimetallism are in. separable, they are twin brotbers,' as
 MT. James Dobson, the great carpet
 manufacturer, truly said in his address
 before the Manufacturers club of Phila
 delphis. The battle can be made most
 effectively here in the east where tht
 power of the money cliques is strongest
 ''The gold men own or control tn, press of the east, so that it is not ire, to give expression to public opinion a it exists, or even to treat the question of bimetsllism fairly. In Pennsylvania the great producing classes, the work ing people and their employers, tn manufacturers, are strongly in favor 0 bimetallism, but the press is false to it duty and the country at large is no permitted to have the facts as the actually are. Present the question O it's merits, make the issue clear, an the people of this state will see wher ! their interests lie, and before the cleo : tions of next year Pennsylvania wi
