!. WASHINGTON. March 3.-The demo-
cratic silver manifesto. which has been
the chief topic of talk on that side Of
the house for few days, was made
public yesterday. The paper is as fol-
lows:
To the Democrats Of the United States:
We, the undersigned democrats, present for
POUR consideration the following statement:
We believe that the establishment of gold as
th-s only monetary standard and the elimina-
1icn OF silver A. full legal tender money Will
Increase the purchasing power OF each dollar,
add TO the burden of all debts. decrease the
market value OF all other forms Of property,
continue and intensity business depression.
and finally reduce the majority Of the people to
financial bondage.
We believe that party can hope for endur-
ing success In the United States so long rs II
advocates u single gold standard and that the
advocacy OF such financial policy would be
especially dlsastro.s to party which, like the
democratic party. derives its voting strength
from those who may. without reproach. be
called the common people: and we point TO the
overwhelming defeat OF the party In 1904, tt
the opposition aroused by the veto of the seisu-
forage bill and to the still more unanimous
protest against the issue OF geld bonds zs proc
That the democratic party cannot be brought
10 the support OF the gold staSidard policy.
We believe that the money question will bt
pa aramount issue in 1894. and will remain
until 1t is settled b5 the intelligence and
patriotism OF the American ytsers.
We believe that = large majority OF ths
democrats OF the United States favor hi

HELPFUL MRS. sILLToPs.

There Doesn't Appear to he Anything
About House that She Cant do.
'.The more see of Mrs Billtops the
more I'm astonished at her." said Mr..
Billtops. II don't believe there is any
thing about a house she can't do. She
gets the nails out of the children's
shoes and out of mine. She mends the
carpet sweeper and fixes the clothes
wringer and keeps the clocks going.
The latest and most astonishing thing
she's done is to fix my watch.

course l .ools it to Mrs. Billtops;
we all go to Mrs. Billtops for every
thing. Could she fix it? An hour
later she brought it back running.
ask her how she did it, and then I'm
sorry did; there are some questions
that it is better not to ask. She says
she fixed it with Il penknife. l shud-
der little as think of Mrs. Billtops
prying about in the interior of the
watch with penkife, but the watch
is going and what more can l ask? If
1 had a watch to fix to morrow I'd take
it to Mrs. Billtops; that is, any ordinary
watch. If it was a thousand-tlollar
chronometer might perhaps take ic
to q jeweller; but if it was just an Or
dinary watch, say one that DIDN'T cost
more than four or five dollars, should
take it to Mrs. Billtops without mo-
ments hesitation"-N. Y. Sun.

Of the rebels who escaped capture by
the government troops after the
insurgent defeat near Santa Ana,
Rio Grande do Sui, Brazil. de-
tails of the last battle in which
Admiral Da Cana took part
and of his suicide have been
secured. The admiral, at the head of
force of 400 sailors, was engaged by
a brigade of government soldiers num-
bering 1900 The battle lasted five
hours, and at least 300 men were killed
or wounded. Some of the insurgents
advised Da Cana to retreat, but he re-
fused and they abandoned him. With a
handful of men the admiral repulsed
five charges of the government cav
airy, but the struggle was hopeless,
and, seeing that all was lost, Da Cana
ordered retreat and then cut his own
throat. Da Gama's body was taken
to Santa Ana by the government
troops and there horribly mutilated.

Trying to Improve.

The Northern Pacific is now securing
data for change in the movement of
its trains, looking to the more economi-
crl transportation of freight, and a
change in the red tape and arbitrary
method of rating a train load.
The plan of the load now is to do
away with this system and classify the
engines according to their power to
pull an ascertained number of tons. A
car has been fitted up with an automa-
tic registering device which will denote
the power exterted by the locomotive,
and engines will be rated as capable of
pulling SO many tons and the trains
made up accordingly. A test car is
now in use ON the Dakota division,
having been started east from the
western terminus.

Uncompllmentary Picture Of Americas
Girls ~ English Wives.
When the marriage festivities arc
over. the honeymoon ended and the
realities of everyday life on the march
again, what sort of q wife does the
Anglo american bride develop into as
rule? In cases where the dowry ia
large and the devotion not great, this
question is of little Importance. In. q
big house there is little room for
clashing, and, If the circle of friends be
only wide and lively enough, husband
and wife will hardly have time to grow
sufficiently familiar for either love-
making or qurreling. Supposing. how
ever, that the husband should be SO
unfortunate as to have conceived any
real affection for his bride before mar
riage, and to have evolved any hope
that she would develop into the com.
panion, friend and sympathizer who is
the ideal wife and helpmate, he is GER
tainly doomed to severe disappoint-
ment.
He will find that there is no domestic
side to his spouse's character, Neither
her education nor her life has been
calculated to encourage in her the in
stincts of the mother or the housewife.
She has no desire for chiidren; less in
clination has she to be troubled with
them If they come. She can not be
bored with household details. She con-
fines herself TO issuing orders to we'll
drilled dependents, rates all misper-
formance in a loud key, and checks the
bills with the acuteness of lawyers
clerk. She has no taste for home life.
On the contrary, she counts every even
ing wasted that she spends at home,
and would die of ennui were she con-
dcmned for long to the sole society of
her husband.
Very quickly he will find that her
theory of life comprehends only an end.
less round of gayety and q perpetual
circle of expenditure. The country is
only tolerable to her during the first
effervescence of the bridal return, when
the house is filed as rapidly as it
empties, and the neighbors are all in &C.

grows restless and discontented, while
her naturally-strident voice assumes
sharper and more disagreeable note.
So, at last, the country seat is left to
take care of itself and the couple
hasten to London, Paris, Cairo or
Monte Carlo, where she is soon her.
self again. The end of this is sure to
come sooner or later.
The husband grows tired Of the
home that is no home, the wife who is
no comSanion except for other people,
and the new friends whose faces there
is barely time to get to know by sight.
He returns to his work, his sports or
his dissipations with renewed ardor,
and profoundly regrets that he did not
marry in America, where incompati-
bility of temperament is a valid ground
