FREE SILVER.

Hon. John w. Tumlinson, prominent
lawyer of Birmingham, Ala, writes in the
New York Mercury his reasons for free
coinage Of silver as follows:
'First-Because the single gold stand
ard is unfair to the debtor class.
'Second-Because there is not now a
sufficient amount of gold for circulating
medium.
"Third--Because the parity would Jnen
be maintained naturally instead of arti~
fiiciaty, as at present
'sFourth--Because the production OF
gold is not keeping pace with increasing
population and business.
'Fifth-Because under the single gold
standard, gold is comparatively constant
~ approaching.
'tSixth-Because, like river fed from
two sources, the circulating medium
would them be less liable to luctuation.
"Seventh-Because both gold and sill
yer, as primary money, is the constitu-
tional money Of the people. .|
"Eighth-Because it would be more
difficult for gamblers in the money CEN
tiers to corner both gold and silver.
'tNinth-Because there would be two
metals as primary money so that the
DICTATOR might have the option in which
lie would pay.
"Tentb-Because now in the trasac-
ton of business of the world credit has to
be resorted to, which is conducive of
panics and is too expensive except for
those favored few who own the gilt edge,
easily controvertible securities.
''Eleventh--Because it would hasten
the DEVELOPMENT of this comparatively
new country, for the mass of the people

enterprises, and from bitter past ex-
perience they are not likely for some time

WILL NEW YORK BE cnosEN2

New York is after the Democratic ma
tional convention and it is thought not
unlikely that it will be held there. This
seems little strange, as New York never
stirs itself in any national way. Year
after year it has been gaining more and
more the title of AN old played out land
ing place. It was too much exertion for
it to capture the worlds fair. Its people
go along buying and selling and becoming
rich, while dwelling in the atmosphere
created by the -Four Hundred.
Harfity, chairman Of the Democratic
national executive committee, is in favor
of New York So is German. The Re-
pubQicans never held convention in that
city and the Democrats held only one,
that of 1868, when Horatio Seymour was
nominated for the presidency. The con-
vention at that time was held in Tam
MANY Hall, then the most available place
in the city, but today it could not be sue
cessfully used for such purpose. Then
again Madison Square Garden is too big.
So that after all Chicago may be chosen.

chosen have BEEN as follows:

TOM CARRIERS WAYS.

Tom Carter, of Montana, who uses his
hat to tell latitude and longitude, as has
been related in this paper. recently, is
also an inventive genius of great power
and originality, says the Minneapolis
Journal. While he was stopping at yell
lowstone park this summer, he noticed
that several Of the geysers were nearly
bank full Of the hottest kind of hot
water. After thinking over this waste Of
good material, he sent to the neighboring
towns and invited all the people out Ito, a
feast. The same train that brought them
carried also SO barrels of apples, several
gross of tomato catsup, a car load of In
dian meal and some Scotch whisky and
sugar. When the people had arrived on
the scene, Mr.. Carter had all the apples
turned into one Of the geysers, the Indian
meal into another, the catsup into an
other and the whisky and sugar into the
last. Then to the delighted. audience he
served from the catsup geyser some de-
licious tomato soup and from the Indian
meal geyser a smoking hot hasty pnd-
ding. BY the time this was finished,
geyser No. 3 furnished delicious apple
sauce, while hot Scotch was served from
the last and most popular hole on The
ground. The Indians in the neighborhood
finished the feast, and now Nj. Garter il

in Montana and is sure Of the solid vote
OF the state In case Of a nomination.

HOW SIBERIAN GOT LEFT.

There is a great deal of talk about Sen

own time. Some Of them he has hit very
hard and the majority of those whom he
has hit cannot bear the onslaught. Ev-

John Sherman tried during the whole
of his political career to reach the presi
dency. Again and again did he come to
the front with that ambition and defeat
became commonplace. He did what
most men would have avo;ded-he wrote

venge.
Sherman thought he was cheated out Of
the presidency by friends who were false.
A man who knew him well tells an inter-
esting story in the New York Tribune,
CONCERNING the very things that Sherman
IS still growing about. The story is that
when the Ohio delegation visited the Cal
ifornia delegation in order to get the lat
ter to swing into line in favor of Sherman
those gentlemen were found to be not so
eager to support the Buckeye statesman.
The man who tells the story is Richard
Snaith, editor of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial Gazette. It was in the year 1880.
Sherman was then, as he had been before
and since, a candidate, but the people
were not for him. The committee at that
time was composed Of William Mckinley,
Ben Butterworth, Richard Smith and an
other. y. Il

scHLATTER THE HEALER.

A gentleman who is not Catholic,
has this to say about schlatter:
II am glad scnlatter has gone" re-
marked leading member CT one OF the
Protestant denominations g. few days
ago THAT man has caused more dis
turbanca than all the preachers of the
country put together, and had he con-
tinued I fear that he would have broken
up many of the congregations. an
glad he has gone
The speaker evidently had in mind the
remarkable contrast between the healer
and the average Protestant clergyman
OF the day-the former accepting what
he felt to be plain commands of the Bible,
and devoting every energy OF his life to
the exercise of a gift which he believed
the Father had bestowed upon him. It is
hardly possible to find in all the range Of
history more complete example of self
sacrifice than that presented by Francis
Schlattea'. This fact will be acknowledge
ed even by those who most bitterly op-
pose him. They acknowledge his sin
cerity, but declare he is a lunatic. The
man or woman who reads the first four
gospels and then decides that Schlatter
is fit candidate for an insane asylum
had better go over the gospels again be-
fore reatf1rming the decision.
II never understood the New Tesla
ment until met Francis Schlatter," was
the sentiment of one of Schlatter's admir-
ers after the strange disappearance of
the healer.
There is one phase of Schlatter's career
which is of greatest interest to many per-
sons who have noted public sentiment
during the past few weeks. The phase
referred to is the effect of the healer's
work On the prejudice which has existed
in many minds toward the Roman Cath
Ollie church. Nothing that has occurred
for quarter of a century has made such
ministrations of Schlatter. It is on this
account that clerical gentlemen Of the
protestant churches have been so greatly
exercised against Schlatter. The kindly
work of the healer has touched hearts
that never before responded to a warm
sentiment toward the mother church.
The unassuming appearance Of the man;
his broad spirit of fraternal feeling to-
ward every applicant for relief, the Pc
peculiarly attractive illumination of his
countenance when cases appealing to his
sympathies were presented; the never
faltering zeal which carried him forward
through weary hours. day after day; all
these things made a profund impression
which has contributed for more than the
unthinking may imagine toward a bet
ter understanding of the position of the
Roman Catholic church among men. Can
any Protestant who was relieved or cured
of pain by the healer, fail to entertain a
kindly sentiment toward the church III
which Schlatter was reared and which
he claimed as his own? II Schlatter ac-
complished nothing else, the prejudice
which has disappeared within the past
two months, because of his coming, is a
greater and grander victory than many
church workers have accomplished in
life time.

Bob has lost his grip. There was time
when he was pleasing and entertaining.
He said some witty and plausible things.
We laughed when we did not believe be-
cause the audaeity tickled our fancy. He
didn't exactly abuse the Creator because
he has always frankly Acknowledged that
he didn't know anything about him. Bob
has no faith. He believes in nothing THAI
he cannot in his finite intellect under
stand He looks upon God as he does
upon an ordinary mortal. For him there
is nothing unless he can see it by his linn
tied vision He catches the reasoning
powers and the people laugh because the
gospel does not appear ito stand out as
mathematical problem. The generality Of
mankind know little Of the scriptures. So
they meet and listen to ridicule, and ridi-
Guile they take for ability. 1t is easy to
make the world laugh. A random state
ment coupled with some idea that has
tinge of merriment in it is certain to catch
the disabilities Of an audience. Such is
the secret of Ingersoll's success. Did any
body ever stop to think. that he never
made convert from Christianity? lie
himself never enters church but ne
never took member away from it. The
beauty of Ingersoll consists in his descrip'
tive phraseology about things he knows
nothing Of. There is one thing that should
be said about him, however, and that is
that he is clever enough to know that he
is dipping the people. "
The Catholic Times, of Philadelphia,
took Mr.: Bob to task in this way concern
ing one of his lectures:
The star infidel Of the age bravely
mounts the platform and says:
"Can we rely on the historical part OF
the Bible? Seventy souls went down
into Egypt and in 215 years increased to
100000. They could not have doubled
more than four times in century. Say
nine times in 215 years. This makes
35,84O instead of 100000"
The star infdel's dupes applaud and
laugh and overflow with sympathy for
the poor, deluded Christians who place
reliance on the Book. The star infldePs
figures are apparently conclusive and his
dupes admire him more and more for his
cleverness. The chances are that they
will never see his calculations refuted,
but oh how easy it is. For instance CIV.
T. c." writing to the New York Sun,
says:
"While not myself a swallower of the
Bible exgrano sails, to reverse the old
saying, it does not seem fair that it's
chief opponent should be SO far astray in
his statistics. His error is in the as
sumption that they could not have
doubled more than four times in a CEN
tury. On the contrary, any religious
polemic in reply to him would be entitled
to assume that seventy souls were thir-
ty-ave couples and that a crop OF ten chill
dren in twenty-five years for each couple
was not only probable, but within the
reasonable limit In those days people
were vigorous, lived al fresco, and the
women knew no corsets. Thus the pop
ulation would be multiplied f1vefold in
