Young Rodman Wsnamaker, son OF
John wsnsnaker, the good, has recently
served to certain Partisan counts and
barons . dinner which, while not at all
typical Of America, was clearly repre-
sentative Of certain characteristics OF
American plutocrsey. The dinner is .
nine days wonder in Paris. and is not
without interest here. for John Wanna
maker has been mentioned for the Presi-
dency Of the Nation. and it is worth our
while to consider what kind Of ideas be
has inculcated in the mind Of bis son and
heir.
Twenty-Five guests were insited to the
dinner, and probably from q fear that
some OF them might come in q cab. 3
street car or even IN foot, il left to them
selves, the gilded Rodman engaged TWEEN.
ty-two Of the finest e~quipages in Paris
to call for them. The decorations OF the
di~nning.room, it is said, were sumptu-
ousIy beautiful, and the air was cooled
by luminous fountains scattering a spray
radiant as many colored jewels over cry.
tslline masses Of ice. The dinner itself
was prepared regardless of cost, OF appe.
tite and Of human capacity to eat. Each
guest was served with . whole leg OF
mutton, q whole salmon, a truffied fowl,
a basket OF peaches and q double mag
mum Of champagne, besides several bot
| ties Of other wines Of rare vintage and
fabulous cost. At the close Of the din.
ner a silken grabbing was passed around
and each guest drew from il q souvenir,
such as an emerald pin, ruby links, pearl
studs or q golden cigarette holder
gemmed with diamonds.
Taking it all together the feast was q
remarkable example Of the grossest form
Of "going the whole hog" II WAS an
attempt to dazzle Paris by a display o.
wealth and lsvishness, but its result
was simply to disgust Americans. The
futility OF the thing is evident from the
fact that some Of the guests were mem.
bers Of the Rothschilds family, who
could buy out the Wansmakers any day,
but who would never think Of showing
their greatness by trying to cat a leg oil
mutton, a salmon. a chicken and a bas-
ket of peaches. and washing the mixture
down with a gallon Of champagne.
John Wanamaker is evidently another
of those men of gushing goodness who,
in his ardor for the redemption OF the
heather, has neglected his " son. He
may have taught him many things, bu'
he did not teach him the difference be-
tween culture and vulgarity. The Dig
ger Indian giving a dog feast to hi
friends must have been the model younl
Wanamaker had in his mind when hi
prepared bis extraordinary layout, and il
the one case as in the other, the onl,
idea seems to have been TO see how far
guest could be induced to stuff himsel
after he had enough.-S. f. Call.

STEADY NATIONAL DECLINE.

Among the sayings OF Senator
Jones are these: AT the time Of the de-
monetizasion Of silver we did not miss
that fact so much for . few years, be-
cause ii took US six years to reach q
specie-payment basis. But one can see
tina. as the price OF silver declined, be-
cause Of its decentralization, and not on
account Of it's over-production, sgricul-
tural products-whether Of wheat or
cotton-hsve steadily decreased along
with the commercial value oil silver.
The price Of farming lands decreased
along with their agricultural products.
Nothing said in this was intended to be
new, but il was uttered to mark the
Nations downward grade. For instance,
Senator Jones remarked that after the
repeal OF the Sherman Silver-Purchase
Act. our country experienced a downfall
in prices, which was further accelerated
by the shutting off Of silver coinage in
India. This produced stagnation in
manufacturing throughout the country.
After the goods already manufactured
were nearly or quite absorbed, our manu-
factories had been lately started up.
Upon this, all the paid gold bug organs
started up the cry that the "good old
times " had come again and that this
A. A. 81 atIaAv
craze" "Well," said the Senator,
latter the temporary wants have been
supplied, there will be another shut
down. And, after every shutdown We
have we are a step lower in National
prosperity than we were before. And
this decline has been going on for
twenty-five years, and ii is about time
the people saw it and put an end to it.

through all Of these pieces and buried
itself in a tree beyond. He then shot
into a black walnut tree some eighteen
inches through. Behind this tree were
four pieces Of pine each two inches
thick and just beyond this stood a bass
wood tree which was fully two feet in
diameter. The bullets passed through
both trees,

As before stated in the columns OF the
Journal, Hon. II. F. Bsrtine has taken a
more comprehensive view Of the silver
question since he has severed his connec
ton with the gold trust auxiliaries at
Carson and became o citizen OF Utah.
He now agrees with Senator Jones that
the Republican organization is unslter'
ably opposed to free coinage, and he has
enlisted under the bimetallic banner and
will probably go to Chicago in the inter
ests Of the Silver League. As an hon
est advocate Of the free coinage Of gold
and silver he cannot support q party that
lie opposed to it; hence be joins the BIZ
metallic League.
II is but justice to Mr.. Bartine TO say
that he intended to join the Nevada Sill
YER League upon his return from Wash
ington three years ago. but was dissuad-
ed from his purpose by persons, claiming
to be his friends, who assured him that
the silver craze was sporadic and would
not affect the election in Nevada. He
will now fight for silver regardless Of
party.-Reno Journal.

The latest thing in barber shops 10 a
musical box which the boss Of the es-
tablishment regulates to suit the times.
On Monday, for instance, he keeps the
machine up to light opera airs just fast
enough to keep his assistants shaving
customers at q nice steady gait. Tues
day being q quiet day in barber business.
"Home Sweet Home" and "YouIl
Remember Me" are good enough.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the
barber confines the music box to popular
selections of a rather lively nature. On
Saturday he puts the reels and iigs on
top and every barber in the house is on
the run.-Philadelphia Call.

A London cablegram says there are in.
teresting developments in the money
market. A sharp rise in Paris exchange
was anticipated as soon as the Chinese
loan was hoated, but exchange receded
because the bank Of England has an
nounced a reduction in the purchasing
price OF France and Russian gold coin to
rs shillings and 81 pence per ounce.
This was done to check gold shipments
from France to England. The Bank Of
France is selling gold freely and it is
feared the accumulation Of gold in Lon
don is likely to be immensely increased
during the next few months, though it is
thought that there will be a lock up Of
cash in the Bank Of England to tighten
the money market.
The Bank Of France is the national
treasury of the French Republic. 1t
bears the same relation to that country
that the United States Treasury does to
this. France is on q bimetallic basis and
the bank redeems Government obliga-
tions in gold or silver, or both at its OPP
tion. Though France has for years been
engaged in foreign wars it does not have
to issue bonds to borrow gold Of England
or any other country. Though its re-
sources do not compare in extent with
those Of the United States it is said to
have suffered less than any other Euro
pesn nation during the general depres-
sion caused by the adoption of the gold
standard, because il recognizes silver as
well as gold as primary money-that is.
money in which all promises to pay are
redeemed. 1t is not in the clutches OF
the gold trust and though it's silver is
equal to gold at the ratio Of Isl to / for
the payment of all debts, gold has not
been driven out Of the country, but on
the contrary il has gold to sell, though
ID has n gold mines, while the United
States, the greatest gold producing ma
ton on the globe, has to borrow gold
from England and hire the gold trust at
a cost Of sl2, 5co. 900 to protect its gold
reserve for six months.
What a lesson France is teaching the
United States. Its people are compare
lively prosperous aud its are
equal to the expenditures. II pays its
debts in gold or silver as il agreed to do,
and instead of running in debt for gold it
has gold to sell.-Reno Journal.

NOTHING NEW ABOUT THAT.

When an old party man now puffs out
his belly and declares with much bluster
that the only issue in 1896 will be
the free coinage OF silver at a ratio OF
l6 to l, he thinks he is some pumpkins.
In 1892 over two million voters knew
that free coinage was the issue then. and
they were ieered at by the men who now
have just got educated up to the free
coinage idea.
In 1892 when any man declared it his
belief that the financial question would
be the paramount issue in 1896, as it
was even in 1892, he was q ghost
dancer" "~orsnk," o visionary
etc.
When an old party man tells you his
party is going to have q free coinage
platform and q free coinage ticket, ask
him what he is going to do in case his
party don't do any such thing, and then
hear him talk. In nine cases out Of ten
he will say there is going to be q straight
free coinage party, but his old party is
good enough for him.-News Miner

Collanse of a Buildine.

NEW YORK, Aug. Sat IL o'clock
to-day two floors of the new building
at the corner of west Third street and
west Broadway, collapsed, carrying
down all the workmen employed on
them, and resulted in the killing OF
several and wounding of many others.
Park policeman James Livingston saw
the accident from his station in Wash.
ington Park and ran to the rescue.
While engaged in assisting some of the
wounded from the debris he fell into
the cellar and was badly hurt. Ambu-
lances came to the scene from all the
downtown hospitals and as fast as the
wounded were removed from the build
ing they were taken away. There
were 80 men employed on the building.
1t is said that an eighth story was add
ed to the building contrary to law.
Coroner Fitzpatrick and DR.. Donlin
went from the coroner's Office to the
scene of the accident. At 1910 p. m.
they telephoned that n body had
been recovered and identified as John
Burke, of Brooklyn. Seven more bodies
are supposed to be in the ruins.
