From the Washington Post.
Brown has the reputation of being one
of the most miserly of men. but he
plumes himself on his inexorable sense
of justice. For fifteen years he owed a
dentist $22 for filling front tooth with
gold, refusing to pay 1t because he said
the bill was exorbitant. The other day
the filing came out. He took the gold
to jewelry store and had 1t assessed.
Then he wrote to the dentist and in
closed check for his account, based on
the following computation: Actual
value of the gold, $3.50; amount of la
Dor (Which / deem liberaD. Sc; for use
of the tooth fifteen years, Sc; total.
$3.50. return gold on account and in
close check for the balance OF sl0." Y,
This IL thought to stand as an ex-
ample OF unparalleled meanness.

PRESS COMMENTS.
The One Idea Party.

The silver monometallist have nomi-
mated Joseph A Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
as their candidate for president in 1896.
Regarding silver coinage as the one
thing needfu, they have but one plank
in the platform. All other issues upon
which politicians are divided are left to
the Imagination. The hope of any party
to succeed in getting control of this gov
ernment with only one plank in it's plat
form, requires large display of the

the most interesting contribution to the

nearer being correct than anything yet

TaOs COunty's New Gold Camp.

La Belle, the new gold camp in New
Mexico which has attracted considerable
attention of late, is situated upon what is
known as the Costilla grant, being part
of the Sangre de Cristo grant, the title of
the government to which was confirmed
of the grantees without any reservation
of mineral rights. In other words, it Is
in this particular in the same condition
as the well-known Maxwell grant. A
transfer of title by the owners Of the
grant passes the right to the mineral as
we'll as to the surface ground, so that
there is no danger on that score in ac-
quiring mining claims in that camp.
This ought to stimulate the working of
claims if there shall be shown to be good
mineral there in large quantities.-Den-

EDUCATION AND SOCIETY.

The Harvest Home festival at Unity
church was little out Of the ordinary
Tor church services. The pulpit and
platform were decorated with all kinds
and varieties Of fruits, grains, flowers
and vegetables. The homely potato,
bulging beet, big wasted pumpkins,
rosy-cheeked apples, snowy cabbage,
blushIng dahlias, and golded wheat
sheaves about the walls took the minds
Of the worshIppers away from re-
liglony abstractIons and made them
re- A ize that they were IN a world Of
realities.
The close communion with nature
produced q wholesome efTect--au effect
that we fear Is too much missed by a
great deal we aim at In our attempts at
culture and education. Our education
is too much at long range and we do
not enough live In the world that sur
rounds us with manifestations of
beauty and divine goodness. Our
children are educated in n way that
they never realize God through the
sublimity and nobility Of his won
drous works.
The wholesome influence Of famll-
iarity with, and love for, the wealth
and beauty revealed 10 nature,ls surely
missed out of the lives OF our young
people. They are TOO artificial. We are
conscious Of grave defects Ia our edu-
catlonal system when we regard the
case OF the young medical student,
Durrant, on trial far his life, for muir.
derlng two young women In n church
We do not believe that the Baptist
church OF which Rev. Gibson, is pas
ter is TO blame in the least for the
social defects OF the age. We not be-
lieve that any church Is. We belieye
that a defective educational system
lies at the root Of all the social evils Of
which society suffers today. We be-
that the proper education of the child
is all important and we have used this
Harvest Festival to call attention to
the social condition Of the age and the
Importance Of getting at the under
lying defect OF that condition. It IL In

In his wrist, besides dislocatlng that

He at once had his wrist placed in

rHE KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN.

The result OF the sleetlons Ia KEN
tucky will be awaited this year with
pee llIar interest. The state 70 strongly
Democratic but has been considerably
agilsied over the silver question. The
Dem ,cratic state convention divided
On the admInIstrallon'a financial policy,
and finalIy compromise was arranged
by which the Democratic Da'iopal
platform on money and the Cleveland
administration were endorsed. but the
free silver candidate for governor,
General HardID, was nominated. He
entered the canvass with Luke Black
burn, Democratic candidate for United
Etates senator. Both are believers 10
IN blmetaliem and the treatment of
gold and silver on terms Of equality.
AT siTst the gentlemen tired not to
push the money que stlOn 10 an issue,
but soon found that they had to take
stand aud took 1t II tly add squareiy
against the Cleveland wing OF the party
and for bimetalism. At this the Lonis-
vile Courier journal, a paper cwued
by the bankers. and ether 20 called
'sound money" politicians In the
Democratic party deserted Hardin and
blackburn, and II is now a question
whether any Of the Clevelandites on
the money question will support the
Democratic candidate for governor, or
members OF the legislature who will
support Blackburn for the senate. If
there "sound money" Democrats can
not defeat Blackburn In the election Of
a Republican legislature, they say they
will bolt his nomination and defeat
his election to the senate in that way,
II Is strange that Kentucky, known
as the border state In the war Of the
rebellion, when II furnished about an
equal quota OF men for the union and
the rebel armies, should again be the
battle ground OF the great monetary
Issue In the new world. While the
issue over gold standard and bimetal-
ism is not joiued on the platforms, 1t is
Joined on the candidates. The Repub-
iican and Democratic platforms are
both eyasIye and uncertain IN their
terms, They are drAwA like some con-
tracts. to be read two ways. But
Blackburn and Hardin deserve credit
for refusing as silver men TO stand In an
equivocal light before the people. They |
say, II gold standard candidates are
afraid to get before the people as such,
let not genuine bimetalists also entsr
ON . campalgn Of deceit.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1893-1895, 1895-10-21

The former Republican, now Demo-
cratic, but always gold standard Times
MountAineer, asks us:
II this government can by q coinage
law take $40 worth of silver, and make
it worth $50 In gold, then. (the converse
Of every proposition being true), il can
take $40 worth Of gold and make II
worth $40 In silver. Can 1t do this ?
TO certain extent yes.
Dear brother of the quill, do you not
give away your case? In 1873 the
value Of fine ounce OF silver averaged
$3.50, or at the ratio Of l5.9 to l Of gold.
For the year 1885 the average price was
$1.06 per ounce. Under four years of
Cleveland 1t went down to 03 cents;
under Harrison It went up to Sl.05, and
for four years averaged 90 cents per
ounce. Under Cleveland IL went down
to so cents. Has not our government
by our coinage law, made $40 worth Of
silver worth $40? Can 1t again restore
It 20 Its former value? We believe 1t
can and should.
