A Much Puzzled Husband,

There is one married man living who
was badly frightened the other nighr
says Pearson's Weekly. He sent a note
TO his wife about 8 o'clock to saw thar
he would not be home until late Tie
messenger boy when he delivered the note
to the wife happened to mention that he
had gone to the wrong house and ha6
been very wrathfully treated by a man
for disturbing him. The. wife read the
note, which was on a. scrap of paper She
thought a minute Then she said to the
messenger boy:
I'm give you a shilling If you will take
the note back to my husband and tell him
that story. without saying that you came
here al ALL"
The boy pocketed the money and went
back to the husband with the note.
We'll, why do you bring this back?"
he asked.
Because they wouldn't take it. A man
came to the door, and told me if / didn'r
get away he would break my neck for
me-"
The husband did not stay out late that
evening. On the contrary he got home as
fast as the underground train could take
him. He looked suspiciously at his wife
and said:
Il sent note, but the boy must have
taken'it to the wrong house"
Il suppose So, said the wife, innocent
ly. Il haven't got it,
The man was dying to find out If any,
body had called, but he was afraid to
ask.

NeEroe. for the Worth.

DR.. Galen Wilson. a New Englander. has
written 10 the New York Tribune a letter
in support of a movement which the Morn
ing News has frequently advocated. name
~. the distribution OF a portion OF the negro
population Of the south over the north.
as one means TO the end OF solving the
so-called race problem. Or. Wilson has
paid attention 10 the habits and industry
OF the negroes for ten years. and says he
is convinced that the employment Of the
negro as a farm laborer at the north would
solve the farm labor problem. which now
gives northern farmers so much concern.
So long as the negro farm hand is paid
his wages regularly and given enough to
eat, he will remain cOntented with his job.
and, Or. Wilson says. it is surprising to
see how much hard work he viii do with
out murmuring. The negro never attempts
70 dictate. and wants much fewer days
off and nights out than the average white
help; and that is the kind of labor a farmer
wants.
DR.. Wilson has some rather queer ideas
of the Negroes reputed disregard for prop
erty rights and the virtue of truth-telling.
laying the blame for these shortcomings
upon the Institution Of slavery; but these
things. even if they had their origin as
DR.. Wilson supposes. should not be count
ed against the value of the negro as a
laborer. Upon the whole. it is possibly the
case that the negro is not more degener-
ate than is a large percentage of the labor
that is suggested to be replaced by him.
The negro quickly adapts himself to his
surroundings; the environments shape his
character to a large degree. Taken away
from town, on a farm, where there are
no temptations to dissipation, and where
his meals are regular and bountiful, he has
little inclination to drink or gamble. He
becomes attached to his employer and
family. and renders good service for his
hire. AS compared with the lower class
of white labor which was being poured
into this country some two years ago, but
which flood has, happily. been now about
stopped. the negro is incomparably super
Tor. There are no negro anarchists or So
cialists; there is no negro malta.
It is to be hoped that the New England
farmers will ponder well DR.. Wilson's
advice to them to employ negro farm labor
We would rather see the negroes of the
south go north and west than out of the
country. because we believe it would be
better for the negroes themselves, and for
the several sections Of the country There
are too many negroes in the south, and
not enough of them in the north and west.
If the negro population could be scattered
the race problem would be at an end.

Debtors Would sufYer.

Those people owing mortgage debts who
think it would be easier to pay their debts
if we had a debased currency would dis
cover they had made a mistake if with
their assistance the efforts to bring about
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
should succeed.
The most of those who are In
debt would find it as difficult
to earn money under the silver
standard as they do under the gold stand
ard. Salaries and wages would not adj
vance in proportion to the cost Of living
and the prices of only few farm products
would be different from those under the
gold standard.
But aside from the question of prices,
what action would be taken by credit
ors as soon as they became satisfied that
the country was going to a silver basis?
Capt. Thomas Conner, a prominent Mis-
sourian, in an interview the other day,
pointed out what would occur He said:
Tine people are beginning to realize that
the very worst thing that could happen to
the debtor class of this country as well
as to the great creditor class, composed
of wage earners, would be a deprecated
dollar. 1 hold a few mortgages myself.
and have renewed many a one in my
lifetime. Suppose the free-silver fanatics
carry the next election. In self-defense I
would put in the time between the election
and the assembling of congress in fore
closing. 1t would ruin the debtors, though
l might get along. The men who work
for me become my creditors at the end of
every day. After putting the screws on
the poor devils who had mortgaged to
me could pay them 5O-cent dollar. This
truth is so very simple that much less
intelligent person than the average Amer
lean workingman can grasp it,
The more the people think of the silver
question the more clearly they see what
a mistake free silver coinage would be.
AS a matter of fact. about the only people
who would be benefited by it are the Sill
yer mine owners. who would make a
great profit by paying the wages of their
labor in 5O-cent dollars.

IL Was a Crushing Defeat.

Some Of the free silver coinage organs
are trying to make II appear that the sill
veritgs In the state democratic convention
Of Kentucky won victory for silver Why
they should desire TO mislead anybody they
alone can explain. They must know that
the truth will eventually reach their read
ers who viii then have only a feeling OF
disgust for them
Free silver coinage was so badly de-
feated in the Kentucky convention that
the free silver coinage issue may be con-
sidered as practically dead in that state.
There were over so delegates In the con-
vention, and the minority report in favor
Of free silver coinage. although the ratio
OF l6 to was not mentioned, received only
twenty-four votes. That shows how
strong free silver coinage among the dem
ocrats Of Kentucky is.
The money resolution that was adopted
reads as follows:
we reafirm. without qualification, the
principles and policies declared by the ma
tional democratic platform Of 1892 and de-
clare that our present national democratic
administration is entitled TO the thanks
OF the party for its honest courageous.
and statesmanlike management of public
affairs: and we express our undiminished
confidence IN the democracy and patriot
ism OF President Grover Cleveland and his
distinguished co-adviser, Secretary John
q. Carlisle of Kentucky"
The national democratic platform Of 1892
is Enthusiastically in favor Of sound money.
But, in order that there should be no
doubt about the position Of the demo-
Gratis Of Kentucky on the money question.
the convention thanked the Cleveland ad-
ministration for its honest, courageous
and statesmsnlike management of public
affairs" and expressed undiminished con
fdence in the President and Secretary
Carlisle. This was in effect an indorse-
ment Of the position which the President
and Secretary Carlisle occupy in respect
10 free silver coinage.
1t is true that the convention nominated
a man for governor who Is, or was, in IA
vor of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. but the governor of Kentucky has
no duty to discharge that permits him 10
show his preference for silver. The con-
vention did not care particularly, there
fore. whether the nominee was for or
against free silver coinage. The man who
was nominated is personally very popu-
lar. and his popularity got him the coveted
honor. He consents to stand on gold
platform, and his campaign will be con-
Quoted on a sound money basis. The con-
vention in effect said to him: The demo-
Gratis Of Kentucky are for sound money.
They don't believe in your 5O-cent dollar
nonsense, but II you are willing to stand
on an honest money platform, we will
give you the nomination. because. for per-
sonal reasons, you are popular with the
people
If the silverites can find any satisfaction
in this situation of affairs, they are well
come to it. They are getting such little
announcement from any source now a
days that 1t is unkind, perhaps TO show
up their folly in trying to find encourage

civil Service for ConsuIs.

Why shouldn't consuls be appointed on
their merits and be permitted to hold Of
flee during good behavior? That is ques-
ton that Secretary of State Olney is now
considering.
1t is admitted by those who are ac-
quainted with the subject that our con-
sular service is inferior to that of any
osher great commercial country. The rea-
son is that our consuls are appointed for
political reasons and are removed about
as soon as they become acquainted with
their duties. There are about 400 consul
ships, and when a new administration
comes in every one of these places is
wanted for friends of the successful party.
The pressure for them is immense. They
are regarded as rewards for faithful party
services. The consequence is that really
capable men are removed to make room
for broken down political hacks, impecu-
NOUS or worthless relations of influential
party leaders. or for persons having po-
litical influence who wish to go abroad
to educate their children.
Our system of appointing consuls is a
pau one. Anu our cOnSulS, IN many IN
stances. are totally incapable of benefit
ting our foreign commerce In any way.
On the contrary. they are hindrance TO
it. There are, of course, some very cap
able men in our consular service. 1t would
be strange If among the whole number
there were not few who understood their
duties and performed them satisfactorily.
But all of them should be we'll qualified
for their positions and we shall not have
good consuls-men who can contribute
something toward building up our COM
merce-until our system of appointing con-
suls is changed.
The reported plan of Secretary Olney
for improving our consular service is a
good one and he should be encouraged in
trying to have it adopted. The politicians
will, of course, oppose it, and will advance
ingenious arguments against it. but they
are more interested in getting govern
ment places for their friends and rela-
tives than in the welfare of the country.

Touching Up Judge Crisp.

Carlisle is not the only financial expert
who has his own speeches thrown back
ments; Speaker Crisp is getting some of
the same medicine. Crisp has always
stood on the silver question as ne does to-
day, but he has said some sharp things
time populists, which make pretty fair
retorts when quoted against him. You

earth about the free coinage of silver"
is saying of his that has been applied
to the free coinage convention at Mem
phis, while his argument to prove that
anybody who has no silver to coin and
nothing TO buy coins with after they are
made is so good that II ought to be made

The Tin Bank.

From the Chicago Record.
Speaking Of banks.5 I'm bound 10 say
That a bank OF I'M Is. far the best,
And i know of one that has stood for
years
In a pleasant home away out west
II has stood for years on the mantelpiece
Between the clock andt the Wedgewood
wonderful. as you'll concede
When you've heard the things I'll now
relate.
This bank was made OF Mckinley tin,
Well soldered up at sides and back;
But il didn't resemble tin at all,
For they'd painted it over an iron black.
And that ii really was a bank
Twas an easy thing to see and say.
For above the door in gorgeous red
Appeared the letters B-A-N-Ki
This bank had been so well devised
And wrought so cunningly that when
You put your money in at the hole
1t couldn't get out of that hole again!
Somewhere about that staunch. snug
A secret spring was hid away.
But where IL was or how il worked
Excuse me, please, but 1 will not say.
Thither, with dimpled cheeks aglow,
Came pretty children Oftentimes,
And. standing up on stool or chair.
Put in their divers, pence and dimes.
once Uncle Hank came home from town
After cycle Of grand events
And put in a round, blue, ivory thing
He said was good for 80 cents!
The bank went ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
And larger grew the precious sum
Which grandma said she hoped would
A gracious boon to heathendom!
But there were those-I call no names
Who did not fancy any plan
That did in somewise involve
The candy and banana man.
Listen; Once when the wind went "YoO-
And the raven croaked in the tangled
tarn-
When. with a wall. the screech owl flew
Out of her lair in the haunted barn
There came three burglars down the
Three burglars skilled in arts of sin.
And they cried: What's this? Aha!
And straightway tackled the bank of
tin.
They burgled from half-past 10 p. m,
Till the village bell struck O'Clock;
They hunted and searched and guessed
But the little tin bank would not unlockl
They couldn't discover the secret springi
So, when the barnyard rooster crowed,
They up with their tools and stole away
with the bitter remark that they'd be
blowed!
Next morning came a sweet-faced child
And reached her dimpled hand to take
A nickel to send to the heather poor.
And q nickel to spend for her stomach's
sake.
She pressed the hidden secret spring,
And 10! the bank flew open then
With a CHEEKY creak that seemed to say:
1 am glad to see you; come again.
If you were 1, and if I were you,
What would we keep our money in?
In a downtown bank of British steel,
Or an at-home bank of Mckinley tin?
Some want silver and some want gold.
But the little tin bank that wants the
two
And is run on the double-standard plan
Why, that is the bank for me and you!

Russia appears to be rushing things at
a pretty lively pace in the far east; so
lively pace. in fact, that she seems likely
to get herself, and probably some of her
friends into trouble before long. The
probability of a war between Russia and
Japan over Corea within three months is
being seriously discussed both at St. Pc

ger of a breach between Russia and Ger
which Russian financiers tried ineffectu-
