There was a wedding party at the

When the carriage was ready at the

document from his pocket, said:
"Uncle Sam, please take care of this

The Silver Party.

The long looked for and thfEatenaa
new silver party has at last made it's
debut. 1t m out with a. long mani
Iesto that is intended to state it's

dozen men among whom are Gen. A.
J.. Warner, president of the Bimetallic
league, Senators Jones and Stewart of
Nevada and perhaps a half dozen con-
gressmen.
mat this movement will amount to
put little goes without saying. Such
Bland, Bryan, Teller and VOL
colt refuse to join it. This shows the
1nsincerity of the men who have been
heretofore regarded as the champions
OF silver. These men, when asked why
they did not go with the Populists. the
only Tree silver party in existence, re-
pied that the Populists demanded too
much in their platform-too many im-
practical things. Now when a party is
organized on the basis of the very
thing for which these same gentlemen
have been fighting, they say it is a
one ldea party and refuse to join it.
n truth of the matter is that
Bland Bryan, Teller, Wolcott, and the
whole outfit Of men of their stripe are
a set of blatant demagogues who have
been, and are, doing the silver cause
more harm than good. They keep up
the agitation of the question because
it is popular with their constituents

election. They know that the fight is

Mr.. Gust was not accustomed to con
cealments and agreed to this PROPOSE
ton very reluctantly. When Molier
returned, he said nothing to vivette,
therefore. as to where he had been or the
u OF his absence; and she knew his
ways too well to seek to know that
which he did not voluntarily reveal.
All was ready for the approaching
wedding-now but three DAYS in the
future. 1t needed not much
ton; a few personal friends only were
TO be present; and the groom and
bride were to start Immediately on a
bridal tour to Gray Sulphur Springs.
That had been arranged at the special
instance of Molier, who had his own
reasons. Vivette was delighted at the
thought of again meeting Myra Blake.
the motherly friend who had treated
her SO kindly; and Joseph, knowing
nothing Of the Springs, directly, but
SIMPLY because to go anywhere that
Vlvette wished was his highest happi-
ness1-concurred in the plan.
Christmas morning. at 10, Joseph
and Vivette were joined in marriage
by Father Burky, from whose venera-
ole throat gglrgled up a blessing as
from q patriarch of olden days; and,
amid congratulations and honest pray
ers, they started on a pleasant bridal
trip, by private conveyance, to GRAY
Sulphur Springs.
It boots not to say they were
happy. Millions, in the past, have
drunk of the same cup; and millions
yet will drink Of it. Prudence NAV

game which the administration Is
playing against the free silver wing
of the democratic party.
There Is again considerable talk
of an extra session Of congress to
provide money for the government.
The treasury deficit continues to
grow at an alarming rate, and none
Of the predictions Of Secretary Car
Isle Of increased revenues have
turned out to be true, and there is
nothing in sight to indicate any i'm
provement In the receipts. In addi-
ton to the failure of Secretary Car
isles estimates to materialize, comes
the loss of revenue expected from
the income tax. The exemptions
made by the first decision of the SUI
preme court cut the amount of esti-
mated receipts from that source in
half, and 1t is regarded as extremely
probable that the decision of the
full bench will wipe them entirely
out, by declaring the law unconsti-
tutional. In that case Mr.. Cleve-
land will find 1t difficult TO avoid an
extra session, no matter how much
he may fear one.

Fees at the University.

Waukesha Dispatch: The state
press Is quite unanimous in its dis
approval of the increased charges
for attendance upon the state uni
versity recently determined upon by
the board OF regents. The charges
are excessive, and against the spirit
and purpose Of the institution, which
is in no emergency to warrant their
infection. The regents have made a
mistake, and should hasten to rectify
their action. The state can better
afford to make increased eXpendi-
lures for the university, generous as
has been the provisions for its main
tenance, rather than to have the
regents persist in their unfortunate
demand for increased fees from the
students. Higher education at u
minimum cost is the grand purpose
Of the university. The state will
never be satisfied with anything less
or different, and the regents have
been wholly unmindful OF this one
great purpose in demanding in
creased fees, which makes attend
ance burdensome except to the
wealthy, and the sooner they revoke
their action the better ii will be for
the success and prosperity of the in
stitutiOn

Worth Not Unrecognized.

Although able to accomplish but
little against the tide of venality, in
capacity and corporation power that
flooded the late legislature, Capt. A.
r. Hall, assemblyman from Dunn
county, succeeded in making record
for himself during the session that
promises to bear fruit in the near flu
tnre-and will bear fruit-in substan-
tial recognition of his courageous
honesty, unless the people are more
in harmony with the spoils-seeking,
bum politicians who dominated the
recent session than we are prepared
to believe. The press in all sections
of the state is commenting Capt.
Hall in wasm terms, such as the
following
People who laugh at and make
sneering remarks about Capt. A. r.
Hall might change their looks and
their tcne were they to fully realize
that which is very likely to take
place some of these days-his tri-
nmphant nomination for governor by
the best element of the republican
party, and his election by sweeping
majority. He may do some unwise
things, but he is an honest man, n
brave, able man. 1t was such men
that made the republican party the
party af the people and the party OF
the country.-Milwaukee Telegraph.
We enthusiastically endorse the
above remarks. Mr.. Hall made an
enviable record because it was an
honest one. There is not man in
the state whom we could support for
governor with greater relish than
Capt. Hall. When the party once
more recognizes men because Of their
honesty, bravery and ability, and
not because Of their availability-a
negative qualification at best-then
it will stand where it did at its birth.

AMONG the few good laws enacted
by the last legislature is the one re-
Iating to manual training. 1t Is the
object of the law to encourage the
organization and maintenance Of
manual training departments in con-
nection with the public schools OF
the state, This law places the SUI
pervision Of these departments In the
hands of the state superintendent,
provides for the certification Of man
ual training instructors, and author
ICES the payment OF the cost Of in
struction out Of the regular school
fund. 1t also provides that any school
maintaining manual training de-
partment in which the scope and
character of the work is satisfactory
shall be entitled to special state aid
to the extent Of $3.50 annually. Per-
haps the most notable feature Of this
law is that it recognizes manual
training as an important factor in
education and makes it an integral
part Of the public school system OF
the state.

DEATH OF 1ET1 [. BIeEIow
Of North Haven--Fatler of the Late Elk
 Governor II. E. BlgeIow.

Of North Haven-Father of the Late Ex
 Governor H. E. BigeIow.
 Yesterday afternoon one of North Haven's oldest and most highly esteem- ed citizens, MT. Levi L. Bigelow, suc- cumbed to weakness and heart failure, caused by an attack of the grip. Mr. Bigelow though a very aged gentleman, was up to within a short time com- paratively vigorous and healthy in body and mind and last fall he prided himself in being able to cast his bal lot at the polls as usual
 MT. Bigelow was the father of the late ex-Governor Bigelow and one of the pleasantest events in the late ex- governors busy life was to pay visit to his aged father and mother and the pleasure felt it need not be said was reciprocal. The aged sire was, nevertheless, a sturdy democrat, firmly believing in the principles of that party and being loyal to his convictions, which was a characteristic of his life. The deceased was happy in having with him for so many years his an1ia-, ble and loving wife, who died not long since They were a fine aged couple and her death was a great blow to him. Four sons and two daughters were born to them. Two of the sons are living, George W. Bigelow. who Is. with the Bigelow company, Fair Ha- ven, and John Bigelow, who resides in the west. Of the daughters one sur wives. The other, Mrs. Cheney, who was the wife of the late Hon. MT, Cheney of North Haven, with whom the aged couple for years resided, died year or two ago. The aged gentle man, who has now passed away. was valued member of the Episcopal church of North Haven.
