II HAVE just returned from an ex-
tenslve trip over the country and
after a broad survey Of the situation
am inclined to believe, that il the
question were submitted to a vote
there would be a majority for blmet-
allism in every state in the union,
In other words it has been my obser-
walton that the masses of the people
are in favor Of the use of silver as
one Of the money metals Of our sys-
tenn.
Il am inclined to be apprehensive
that if the republican and democratic
parties continue to juggle with the
subject, advocates Of the free silver
question might sweep the country at
the next national election.
81 perceive that the contest IN your
state is of national Importance. Ide-
precate the unyielding and uncom-
promising attitude of the eastern peo-
pie, who are demanding an adherence
to the gold standard and are heaping
abuse on those who favor bimetall-
ism.
II believe that a man can be BIZ
metallist and u patriot, the same as a
man who holds to the gold standard.
1 am afraid that the unbending atti-
tude Of the east may eventually lead
to a sectional separation. believe it
to be the history Of parties that not
the full measure Of what they wanted
was attained, and that the safety and
prosperity Of the country lies between
the extremes Of silver mono-metallism
and the ultra gold standard.
Il feel that it is time for the repub-
llcan party to take a wise, patriotic
and comprehensive view of the stu
alton. -EG-Sendtor ingalls,.

THE FAMILY ALTAR.

1 have had much to say Of Chris
tianity; let me lead you, ere we close,
to the heather tireside-which is also
ours. Christianity is a synthesis; far
from rejecting, it calls to itself all the
moral and religious elements of the
inferior forms of religion. We are
descending not only from Judea,
through the apostles and the first dis
ciples; we are descended from the
Celts, the Romans, the Greeks. We
belong to the old and aristocratic
family Of the Aryans. Now, in every
Aryan region, on the shores of the
Mediterranean as we'll as on the
banks Of the Ganges, each house had
its altar-its real, material altar, and
on that altar burned a fire. Woe to
the family whose altar flame should
go out, were it only for an hour! Be-
fore this altar, cherishing this flame,
there stood a man, the father of the
family. He is the family priest, who
pours the libations, immolates the VIC
Tins, celebrates the rites, sings the
ancestral hymns. And the day when
the father-for this name, pater, was
given to him among the Greeks and
Romans even before his marriage; it
was name Of honor, of royalty and
priesthood-the day when the father
would take to himself a companion,
he separated her from the altar and
the worship of her parents, and intro.
duced her by a solemn ceremony into

BEGUN IN SECRET.

Alb, how many departures from
God, ending. in total shipwreck Of
faith, have begun in the secret cham
berl In some sense they have all be-
gun there. If only we could look in
to the inner records of some young
mans life, who trained in Christian
household, and himself seeming to
have we'll begun, has yet after a while
forfeited the promise of his youth,
gone forth and forgotten the ssncti-
ties of home, and the faith pledged
not to God alone, but to father and
mother and sister-still loved, and to
be forever loved, but with fearful,
aching love so unlike the proud love
which regarded him once-could we
look, I say, into that story, here, 1 am
sure, would be most often found the
secret Of all. He counted that he
could do without that which the Sa-
viour himself would not do without
that he could live on his own re-
sources, that he could lean upon his
own strength.

In letter to free coinage ment-
ing Judge Fl. @. Caldwell said:
$50 long as we proclaim to the
world that our purpose is to adhere

and unlimited coinage of silver at
any ratio will never come. Suppli-
cations in this direction will be in
vain. She spurns them with the ar.
rogance and insolence that such
cowardly and pusillanimous actions
on our part deserve. What is more,
England's action is courageous and
aggressive action, not cowsrdly sup
plicatlon, The issue is sharply de-
fined. Those who do not favor the
free coinage of gold and silver at 16

SENATOR SHERMAN thinks that the
West does not know what 1t wants on
the currency question. The West
certainly knows that 1t wants the free
coinage Of silver at ratio of 16 to /,
and it does not want any man in the
presidential char or in congress who
is merely a nominal American. No
party ties will ever prove strong
enough again to keep the people of
the West from voting for free silver
and American independence. Fight
ing against the right is uphill work,
Senator Sherman, and you cannot
succeed again. --DenUer Times, (Rep)

New York, Dec. 24.-A Washington
special says Fort Sumter, the historical
old fortress that played such an important
part at the opening of the late rebellion, is
again to bristle with ten-inch rifles and be
equipped for the defense of Charleston
harbor. General Miles has recently been
south and is heartily in favor of the re.
stoIatiou of the old fortiflcation to its old
condition.
1t il not known whether or not the resto-
ration of Fort Sumter at this time is due to
the threatened conflict with Great Britain.
There is something like $4,000 available
for Notifications in Charleston harbor, aud
the secretary of war is willing that the
money should be expended on Fort Sumter
and the land battery on SullivaE's island,
IN the same harbor.
since the close of the war Fort Sumter
has been almost deserted by the govern
ment's troops. For many years past the
ordnance sergeant has lived there as care
taker of the rapidly decaying government
property. Time has made but little inn

ments have PLAYED havoc with the interior

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.--It is now learned
that the main purpose of General Miles
visit to the cities on the South Atlantic
coast was to ascertain by personal inspec-
ton the actual condition of the coast de-
fenses in that section and to call the atten-
tion of the southern people to the exposed
position they would occupy in the event of
hostilities. He was particularly impressed
with the autiquated condition of the de-
fenses at Fortress Monroe, which are relied
upon not only to guard the national capital
and Baltimore and Norfolk and Richmond
from attack by water, but even more to
form an impregnab!e base of naval opera
tions and safe refuge for our warships in
the event they are forced to retire before

though the war department has very little

Heavy Weather Along the British Coast
Several Wrecks Reported
LONDON, Dec. 24.-Heavy gales prevailed
today over the coast of Great Britain, and
several small wrecks are already reported.
A schooner was seen to run ashore in the
Byne. near Shields, where she became
wreck. 1t is beliexed all the crew were
drowned.
The British ship Moresby, Captain Coom-
ber, was stranded yesterday off Balacourt's
lighthouse. near Dungarvan, mile and a
half from the shore.
A lifeboat succeeded in getting to the
Moresby and rescued several of her crew.
Seventeen others remained, lashed to the
rigging. After the lifeboat was driven
away from her the ship broke up.
The second lifeboat which attempted to
put off to the three-masted vessel flying
signals of distress in Kingston bay, finding
it impossible to board the ship. returned to
the shore with the greatest difficulty, the
bottom of the boat being stove in.
The crew are seen to be still on board
and have cut down the masts in order to
steady the ship. The name of the vessel is
unknown, but she is believed to be for
eigner.
1t is now known that fifteen of the
Moresby's crew persisted, including the
captain, his wife and son, and all the Of
ficers. The captain, with his son strapped
to his back, made gallant attempt to
