The Plan of Campaign Is Being Elaborated.
 Will Be Educational,

Chicago, IL, April 23.-A systematic effort will be made by the Honest Money league, recently organized in this state. to capture Cook county delegates to the state convention, which is to define the position of the state democracy on mone- tary questions. At the meeting of the executive committe of the league, held at the Palmer house yester- day, it was the general senti- ment that a contest with that object in view should be made at the pri- maries to select delegates, which are to be held May 3. It is likely that meeting of the committee will be held next Wednesday. It will be decided to place "honest money delegates in the field in every ward. An elaborate plan of cleo tion will form an important part of the campaign against the free coinage move ment. Mass meetings will be held throughout the city, and the state will be flooded with honest money literature within the next ten days.
 The declaration in favor of honest money" which is being circulated in the city among democrats has already re- ceived a large number of signatures.
 Japan Does Not Project Conquest.
 Paris, April 23.-The Journal des De- bats publishes the report of an inter- view with MT. Sonearasuke, Japanese munster to france, upon the results or the China-Japanese war. The minister declared that European trade would be unable to withstand the competition of Japan. This however, he said was purely pecuniary question, and could be modified in accordance with adoption by European countries of a bimetaIlic standard for the retention of the existing standard Japan, he said, does not pro ject any conquests. Her one ambition is to advance in the path of progress and develop the trade and industry of the country she has recently acquired The fears of Spain that Japan will encroach upon the Philippine islands, the minister said, are groundless.

is forced to do this, for if he does not make a great advance in his selling price. he may find, after buying and paying for his goods at fixed sum, the money having at that time oer- tain gold value, that when the goods are sold they bring in to him in gold less money than he had before he made his original purchases; hence, to offset possible depreeiations in currency, each dealer Is forced to add quite a sum to the price of his wares as insurance against contingencies. MT. Townes as- serts that those who suffer the most by this unfortunate state of affairs are the earning classes. Both skilled and unskilled labor has been paid, he says, in late years much less than 1t should have been paid considering the depreciation that has taken place in the currency, In consequence of the extra charges made in the prices of merchandise the cost of living has been greatly advanced to an amount more than equal to the depreciation in cur rency value; but the rates Of wages have not materially increased; hence the wage-earner has been compelled to take money that is not worth half as a hh r, ,not1 in a
 few years ago at rates of wages not much higher than the old scale, and tc pay for what he purchases as if the l currency was worth hardly more than a quarter of it's par value.

 FIFTEEN TONS OF PROTEST.
 The polyglot w. c. T. U. petition, the embodied protest of the women of the whole world against the liquor traffic in particular and all legalized vice in general, is literally weighty instru- ment. Fifteen tons is it's present mate rial weight; what its moral pressure is to be is beyond the power of mathemat- ics to calculate. It has taken one wo- man two years, working eight hours a day, to paste the millions of signatures, gathered from every quarter of the globe, upon the bolts of linen cloth that bear them. As arranged to be photo graphed at Memorial Hall, London, the height of the cube composed of the peti- ton and the boxes in which it is kept was ten feet and the breadth fifteen. Legislation respecting it has already been taken up at Washington and in England, and it is to be presented to every civilized government on the globe. Miss Frances Willard, who has just re- turned to this country, says: we want to carry that petition around the world and will do so if possible. We want every nation to feel the weight of that monster protest against the rum traf-

4 LESSON FROM BR4zTL

A currency based on gold may have its disadvantages, but they are small and mild compared with the disadvan- tages of g currency based on silver. or nothing. What we might have in this country if certain financiers could have their way is we'll illustrated by what the people of Brazil have. w. T. Townes, counsul- general of the United States at Rio JaneiIo, has pointed out in letter to the state department the disastrous effect which depreciated and fuctuating currency has produced in Brazil. The value of the nilreis, the currency unit of Brazil, is not only far below its par value, but there is an ir- regular, spasmodic huctuation in the value of the currency from day to day and from hour to hour. In consequence of these sudden changes, the buying and selling of money is said to be the most important branch of business in the country, and certain of the foreign banks, English and German, that have engaged largely in the trade. have made enormous profits, at the expense, of course, of legitimate merchants. The purchasing value of the currency is such an unknown factor that no conservative calculation can be made by merchants, and the result is that all merchandise sold to the people is disposed of at a large percentage of increase over its cost as represented in currency. The merchant, it is said,

 Pawn color and damson will be a fa- vorite combination in the new plaids, and silks in little checks in strong col DTS will be used for waistcoats, collars and cuffs to be worn with the natty coats and skirts now coming in.

Indian courts have to decide some queer questions. The Buddhists of Jap an presented an image to the great tenn pie of Buddha at Gaya. The Hindoos objected to the acceptance of the pres- ent, especially the abbot of sivaite monastery near by, who claimed, under a decree 400 years old, the right to de- termine what should go into the temple. IA mob broke into the temple and car- ried off the image. Some Of the rioters were fined, but appealed to the Supreme court at Calcutta, which has just decid- ed in their favor, having ascertained that the abbot's claim was legal. The decision will cause trouble between the Buddhists of India and those of Bur- mah, Ceylon, and Japan.

 THE SAD CASE OF BROTHER BOYD.
 There is Hartford in Vermont and a Hartford in Connecticut, but 1t Is needless to say that the two places are alike only in name. What has hap pened in Hartford, Vermont, couldn't by any possibility happen In Hartford, Connecticut, at least not in the same way There is a Second Congregational church in Hartford, Vermont. About a year ago it wanted pastor, and, unlike some churches, it knew just what 1t wanted. It advertised for a pastor who should be ''young, married and Republican. It is a fine thing to be young, married and Republican, and the church wanted the best. It thought 1t got it in the shape of Her bert W. Boyd, who was known to be young and married, and who was sup posed to be Republican. He filled his pulpit acceptably for awhile and then it began to be whispered about that though he was young and married his Republicanism was not equal in qual- ity and verity to his youth and his marriage. The whispering developed into talking, and it was soon made clear that Brother Boyd had, with Democracy or nlugwumpery afore- thought, voted for Grover Cleveland in 1892. One of the elderly and inf1uen- tiaF' members of the church is a wooden manufacturer whose views on the tariff are as strongly held as his views on religion. He says: T mistrusted from MT. Boyd's application that he was not Republican, and cautioned the committee against hiring him, saying that I would not contribute toward the support of a Democrat; but they were all wise and had their way. I gave them fair warning and they must take the consequences went to MT. Boyd and he acknowledged that he voted for MT. Cleveland. I am wooden manu- faoturer. Democracy is detrimental to my business, and I wouldn't hear the gospel preached by a Democrat any more than I would cut off my right l hand. If they secure a Republican they can have my support; otherwise | they'll go without it." Other power | full and much-contributing members 1 of the church agree with the woolen man, and it looks as if Brother Boyd l would have to go if he wants a salary | at all commensurate with his needs and | his merits.
 | If Brother Boyd considered himself a Republican when he applied for and got his place his situa tion is a sad one It is sadder still if he got it without being a Republican, for he knew what was wanted and had no right to be l sly. We hope that he was not. It is | better to be Democrat than a hypo- l crite. We say so because we are not of those who think it impossible to be one without being the other. We hope l that whatever Brother Boyd has been he is neither now. and we hope that if he cannot continue to preach tc those in Hartford, Vermont, who are evidently so much in need of being preached to he will soon find some place where youth, marriage and good, sound Christian preaching are the quahfica. tions demanded in a pastor rather thar youth, marriage and Republicanism ol Democracy.

Mushrooms grow in immense quanti- ties in the Russian forests, the inhabi- tants in some places existing entirely by selling them. Kargopol, in Olonetz, sends yearly 5000 poods (1so,00O pounds) of mushrooms to St. Petersburg. The varieties are many. With one form, the mukhomor, the native tribes of Siberia intoxicate themselves; an infusion from it has stupefying effect like that of opium or hasheesh.
