Cincinnati Enauirer.l

LAPoRTE, IND, March 3d.
Unless some of the big Republi-
can organs in the larger cities of
this state succeed in heading it
off the next Republican State
Convention will be compelled to
insert a silver plank in it's plat
form.
1t will be no halfway treat
ment of the matter, either, but
broad and liberal, perhaps not
going so far as to favor the free
and unlimited coinage, but close
ly approximating that.
The great contest before the
convention is held will be to head
off resolutions demanding free
coinage. There will be no throt-
Ting in the convention. The
work will have to be accomplish
ed before the state gathering is
held. 1t commenced to-day in
lengthy editorials, but the chan
ces are that the efforts in this
direction will prove unavailing.
This much is certain, the conven-
ton will not be satisfied with the
general statement such as has
appeared in platforms of the
past. Something more definite
will be demanded, and that de-
mand will be so emphatic as to
not permit of much in the way
of Juggling. IL is now the deter
mination of coterie of leaders
to endeavor to prevent the adop-
ton of any utterance that will
have a fixed meaning in favor of
free coinage. Heretofore they
have been successful in heading
off anything very radical. This
time, however, they will be tax
ed to their wits end, and it APP
pears that the convention will
run away with them.
1t is quite apparent that the
leaders do not fully appreciate
the extent to which this move
ment has grown. Neither do
they understand, perhaps, how
Thoroughly the people of the
state sire posting themselves on
the silver question. Yet in al
most every locality the movement
has grown to something akin to a
craze, and in none has this more
plainly developed than in local
tiles where the Republicans
strongly predominant. 1t is sur
prising local politicians, and in
most Republican counties of the
state to argue against it today is
to invite suspicion, and, were
there an election, to insure de.
feat, even in ward politics. This
is alarming prospective candi-
dates, and they and their bench
men are hustling to mount the
band wagon.
Nowhere than in Indiana it is
becoming palmer that the finan'
cial will be the one great ques
ton of the next presidential cam
paign. Since the last election
there has been a remarkable
veering about-a complete
change of base. Previous tC
that the people of this state were
satisfied to follow the lead of the
politicians, who attributed finan
cial depression entirely to the
alteration of the tariff. Since
the election, though, the people
have been doing a great deal o.
thinking upon their own account
While the Republicans in Indiana
are willing to concede that tht
change in the tariff has been ;
powerful factor in producing
present stagnation, they are be
ginning to believe that a mor'
deep-rooted cause is to be foupc
in defective currency.
Large sums of money have
been expended by the state com
mittee of both the predominant
parties in the distribution o
tariff literature. Congressman
have used their franking privil
ooaS To tho widest nxtant i'm dis

on that politicians find the people
are schooling themselves and
are seeking their own subjects
for investigation. Nowhere is
this more apparent than through
out the northern half of this
state, where lies the strength of
the Republican party. One can
not go into the home of the farm
er or the mechanic who reads
without finding some work deal
ing with financial problems, and
finances, too, is the prevailing
topic of political conversation.
Everywhere throughout this Sec
ton, and for that matter through
out the state, the idea has gain
ed strength among the people
that they were fooled once by
the demonstration of silver. The
tariff was played for all it was
worth, too. They insist that
they cannot be fooled again.
Governor McKinley's recent
utterances that he would not &C
cept a presidential nomination
upon platform favoring free
coinage of silver has been re-
ceived here with amazement.
The more recent statement in
his behalf, sent out from Wash
ington, to the effect that he ac-
cepts the financial plank of the
platform of 1892 as defining his
position is regarded as unsatis-
factory for the reason that that
plank is considered vague and
uncertain. 1t is argued as against
him that every one is in favor of
an honest dollar, the question
being as to how the dollar is to
be made honest. That is not
provided for in the plank upon
which McKinley's friends are
DESTROYS of placing him. The
impression of the people of this
state now is that this may be at
tanned only by the restoration of
silver to its former position in
the monetary. They are talking
it everywhere and upon all oc-
casions. This is true not only
throughout the Republican chain
of counties of the state, but equal
ly true as to the people of the
Democratic counties. Unless all
signs fail the men who have
heretofore been doing the lead
ing will soon be found in the
wake of the people whom they
have led.
One indication showing how
strongly the silver idea has TAX
en- possession of the people is
found in the fact that several
small volumes published in
Chicago treating on the subject
have had an almost unlimited
sale. The people have cast aside
tariff literature that cost them
nothing, and are paying out their
hard earned dollars for Coin S
Financial School" and similar
works. On railway trains, at
news stands and everywhere the
demand for silver literature is
unprecedented, is increasing
daily. One newsboy on a train
the other day showed me copy
of a book devoted to silver, and
asked me if it was anything like
''Trilby."

The Im,ortance of Dress.

-'"I have one little bit of advice to give to
every young mas take enough interest in
to talk to at all about such matters, said
one of Washington's most fashionable tail
ors to,a reporter, in the course Of a casual
conversation, land that is to dress as we'll
as his means will permit. Dress may not
make the man, but dress lends 30 per cent
of value to man that is man. The
world is full of youths who could dress far
better than they do If they had just ap-
probation of their value. Their idea is to
save money on clothes, but they follow the
poorestssystem Of economy that know Of
A fashionable suit imparts finished ap-
pearanoe to man, and such is the weak
ness or vanity Of the world that Of half o
dozen men equally talented it will invaria-
bly, pin its faith in the one that Is best
dressed.
"Notl that young mans responsibility
ends with his tailor. The fact is, there
are three other points in gentleman s
makeup that tell his taste and character
even more than fashionable suit. The
first is his hat, the next his shoes and be-
tween the two his cravat. Even shabby
suit of clothes is thrown into the shade If
the man wears good hat shoes carefully
polished and piece of neckwear absolute
1y clean and carefully tied. If coupled
with all this he wears a clean collar and
clean cuffs, he may pass for gentleman on
prima facie evidence wherever he chooses
to go in theibusiness world. All combined
form the passport to good society. The
rest is with himself. Washington Post.

A French Board and Its Lesson.

In hecountry districts in France boards
are put up telling people what animals
and insects should not be killed and the
reason and also which ones should be ex-
terminated in order to afford protection to
the farmer. First on the board is this:
"This board is placed under the proteo-
ton of the common sense and honesty Of
the public"
And, of course, after that no boy or man
would mar OF remove the board. Then fol
lows these Instructions:
Hedgehog lives upon mice, snails and
wireworms-aninals injurious to agricul-
ture. Don't kill hedgehog.
"Ioad helps agriculture, destroys 20 tc
80 insects hourly. Don't kill toads.
"Mole destroys wireworms' larvae and
insects injurious to the farmer. No trace
of vegetables is ever found in his stomach
does more good than harm. Don't kill
moles.
"Cockchafer and it's larva-deadly en-.
emy to farmers; lays 20 to 100 eggs. Kill
the cockchafer.
birds. Each department. of France
loses yearly many millions of francs by the
injury done by insects. Birds are the only
enemy capable of battling with them Wig.
orously; they are great helps to farmers.
Children, don't take birds nests"
And SO on the instructions read. Among
the animals which need killing on farm
are mice and rats, and the reason they In.
crease in spite of the constant warfare OF
cats and dogs is because the boys on the
farm kill the animals that would destroy
the pests if they had q chance.

ItaIx ana the Yatica,.

It Is a sacred maxim, handed down from
sge to age by the successors Of st. Peter,
that whatever spiritual or temporal powers
have once been placed within their hands
shall be kept intact and unimpaired. They
do not admit defeat. What they do not
possess de facto they at least possess de
jure If they have lost the substance, they
retain the shadow, and If their earthly
kingdom has been filched that loss, they
say, will only be continued for season,
until that brighter day returns when all
shall be restored. The Holy Catholic
church, it is said, can afford to stand and
wait An all seeing Providence will give
her the victory at last. In the belief of all
5rue Catholics 1t is as certain that she will
eventually triumph a. that the sun will
rise again.
Meanwhile though she never hastes
she never rests and she presses on her
claims with q persistency which, if often
silent, never flags. They are pushed un-
ceasingly from hour to hour, from day to
day, from year to year, and if the outside
world can forget them or deride them the
government of King Humbert never can.
1t has to face an unsleeping foe whom no
good will can ever conciliate or appease,
whose claims are incapable of compromise.
Both demand as to right to rule in the
city of the Caesars, and the victory OF one
side means the inevitable and enduring
humiliation of the other. So is waged the
bloodless but unequal war. Yet, though
the occupation of the Quirinal is securely
based on force, the Vatican has weapons
in her arsenal Of less material kind with
which she'is we'll able to harass and an

Elephants, there is every reason to be-
lieye, like the American bison, are fast
disappearing. In 1886, a worker in ivory
in Sheffield. England, endeavored, in all
seriousness to figure out how long the ele-
phant would last. His own house, he said,
had in the one year used 1880 pairs of
tusks, which meant the killing Of more
than that number of animals, for not ev-
cry elephant yields two tusks to the ivory
hunter. That the African species is fast
disappearing there is little doubt. There
are many elephants in Ceylon, and from
that island most of those that are displayed
in travelling menageries and in geological
gardens come. The Snowman has very lit.
tie use for the African elephant, because
he is less intelligent than his Indian cous-
in, and much meaner in disposition. The
African elephant is the longer legged and
smaller bodied animal. Jumbo, who was
half breed, had the long legs of the AT
rican and the large body Of the Indian ele-
phant. Jumbo was, undoubtedly, the
largest of all elephants, standing 10 feet
inches in height. The largest elephant re-
membered in India was one ridden by the
viceroy in 1880, which stood 10 feet
inches. Colonel Pollock records that the
king Of Burma had q sacred white ele-
plant which was two inches taller. New

Mister.

Did you ever try to seek an explanation
for the title of "mister?"
At time when Europe, and particularly
England, was overrun with the nobility
and titled clerics, the common people wero
known only by their Christian, or baptis-
NAL, names. AS time passed and certain
tradesmen became skilled mechanics they
were looked up to as persons above the
average in intelligence. Being noble, and
yet not belonging to the nobility, they be-
gan casting about for title that would be
a distinguishing mark In those days a
trade was kept as secret, and the workers
were referred to as persons who had learn
ed mystery. Such persons were soon
looked upon as being of higher rank than
mere day laborers and husbandmen and
were called "mysters," or master mis-
ters, because they were proficient in the
particular mystery they had learned.
Those who have had the rare opportu-
nifty of reading books published in the ff-
teenth and sixteenth centuries will recall
the oft repeated question, What mister
wight is that?' meaning, what is that
mans trade or employment
Smart, the antiquarian, takes differ
en6 view OF tne origin OF tne uerIn. de
says that it was adopted simply for the
sake of the analogy it bears to mistress,
but does not give us the origin of the lat
ter word That the reverse of Smart's
view is true there is but little doubt.
Walker another authority on the origin
of obscure words and phrases, says that
"the same process of change which has
corrupted "master" into "mister" has also
contracted mistress" into "missus. -

A Cruel East Indian Woman.

In person the Begun Somru was small,
with q graceful, softly rounded figure, a
complexion of dazzling fairness, large
black eyes full of animation, delicately
chiseled features and hand and arm Of
such perfect symmetry that native poets
sang of them as matchless wonders Of
beauty Her dress was always in exquisite
taste and of the costliest material. She
spoke Persian and Hindustanee fuently.
Her manners were charming, and her con-
versation spirited, sensible and engaging.
But, as a set off to this long array of per-
sonal attractions, her character was detest-
able. She was cruel, vindictive and treach-
erous. If one of her servants displeased or
disobeyed her, she would order his nose
and ears to be cut off in her presence and
watch the mutilation with gusto while
she placidly smoked her hookah.
When one of her dancing girls offended
her by attracting the attention of favor
ite officer she, in fit of furious jealousy,
ordered the unfortunate girl to be buried
alive. There was small vault under the
pavement of the saloon in which the
nautch dances were held, and in that
vault the begun saw her victim bricked
up. When the horrible work was done,
she commanded the rest of the nautch girls
to come out and dance over the grave in
which their still living sister was entomb-
ed. According to one account-denied by
some of those who have investigated the
| story-the begun, that she might extract
the last drops of fiendish pleasure cut Of
the cup of revenge, had her couch placed
exactly over the vault chambers Jour.

Miles Military Beginning.

"I began as captain reduced to lieu
tenant" is General Miles quaint descrip-
tion of his entrance upon his military CO.
reer. With other young men in Boston,
when the civil war drew near, he had tax
en- lessons in drill from an old French off,
Ger named SaligBac. A sum Of about s1,-
900, given to him by his father, he devoted
to recruitinga company and borrowed $2,-
500 more from wealthy uncle, for which
he gave his nste. Company e Of the
Twenty second Massachusetts infantry
was duly raised, and he was commissioned
as its captain. But on the evening before
the regiment was to start for Virginia
Governor Andrew sent messenger to re-
quest him to give up that commission "to
an older man" and to accept one instead
as first lieutenant of the company.
Those who were with the young officer
at the outset Of his career speak Of his tire
less energy as the trait that most struck
them-"'his incessant activity" as one
brigade commander phrased 1t. For it
must here be noted that he was soon de-
tailed from his regiment, as an aid-de-
camp ON the staff of General Howard in
the peninsula campaign. "Other men let
up once in awhile" said one of his associ-
ates, "but he kept at it always" He was
"a tall. graceful young officer, and an ad-
mirable horseman, whose resolute, hand
some face soon became well known In the
brigade, for every battlefield, prosperous
or adverse, somehow yielded him laurels.

he rode on with the rest of his staff, and
very quickly the lad who few months be-
fore had been considered as too young to
head a company, was leading half regi-

success.-George E. Pond in MoClure's
