Successful Test OF the Emergency Fire
Extinguisher---One bought for Estey-

VILE.
W. B. Banigan, agent for the Emergency
Fire Extinguisher company of Manchester,
y. H., made a thorough and satisfactory
test of one of their ten gallon portable
tanks at the north end of Fuller park
Tuesday evening in the presence of three
of the bailiffs and a good representation of
the Esteyville people. The fire was in
light pine kindlings, wet in kerosene and
was allowed time to get the wood well
charred. 1t was quickly, it might be said
instantly, put out. This extinguisher has
many advantages over others in that it is
claimed that it contains nothing that will
stain or damage the most delicate fabric, il
will not injure the person, not even the
eyes. Ii forms a gas that expels the
oxygen from the air. All were well
pleased with the workings of the extn-
guisher and the bailiffs have decided to
purchase one of the ten gallon portable
tanks to be placed in Esteyvile TO protect
the property in this part of the village.
This eXtinguisher will throw a stream 80
feet through 100 feet of hose, and the
liquid will stand from four to ten degrees
below zero without freezing. The bailiffs,
after a careful investigation, have decided
that it was unwise 10 place No. 8 hand
engine here on the hill, as it would entail
an expense of from $500 to $1,000 and
then we would not be provided with any
thing practicable for fighting fire. By their
wise investigation the village will be saved
many dollars, and Esteyyille will be greatly
benefited.

Fryc.s nrideeport speech.

It is noticeable that but few of the re-
publican papers are not commenting on
the speech that Senator Frye delivered at
Bridgeport, Conn, last week. 1t was such
an extravagant speech, so lacking in
common sense, that they have concluded
probably that less said about it the bet
ter. 1t was not the speech of a statesman
1t was much like the maiden effort of a
young lawyer at a Fourth of July cele-
bration. sim. since Senator Frye is a
member of the committee on foreign re-
lations, and is looked upon as one of the
most prominent of the leaders of his party,
his prediction as TO what the Republican
party would do if 1t should be returned to
power in 1896 is likely to be noticed by
foreign governments.
The senator claimed, of course, that the
Republican party gave the country all
the prosperity it has had in the last thirty
years, and that there would be no genuine
prosperity until that party was returned
to power. Speaking of what the Republi-
can party would do in foreign matters if
it won the next national election he said:
white, strong-armed vessels that
command the respect of the ma
tons of the earth. We will annex
the Hawaiian Islands, fortify the harbor
of Honolulu and stretch a cable from there
to San Francisco. We will dig the Mica
raguan canal, marry the two oceans, and
realize the dream of the century. We will
show foreign policy American in its
every fiber. We will hoist the American
nag on every island we think best TO
hoist it on, and when we have once hoisted
it no hand shall ever pull it down.
Senator Frye is uEging the nomination
for President of the Hon. Thomas Brack-
EFT Reed. If Mr.. Reed entertains senti-
ments similar to those expressed by Sen
ator Frye it will be well for him not to
give utterance to them. They would greatly
interfere with his getting the nomination,
and if he should be nominated the people
would hesitate to elect him. They are
not yet ready to become a nation of
pirates. They have no notion of building
ships for the purpose of setting up our
standard in Cuba. San Domingo, Jamaica
and Hawaii. A vigorous policy is all well
enough, but a policy Of that kind does
not mean the robbirg of other countries
of their possessions.
II Senator Frye had been a little more
cautious he would not have made such
rash promises for his party. During the
Harrison administration there were more
labor disturbances by far than there had
been in the previous administration of Mr..
Cleveland, and the foreign policy was not
such a creditable one. 1t is an easy mat
ter to make assertions and promises, but
it is another thing to sustain the asser-
tions and fulfill the promises.

An interesting anecdote is told of the
late Capt. Theodore Julius whose death

Philadelphia Record. Some time ago
Capt. Julius went over to a shipyard in
Camden to take a look at the old packet
ship Tonawanda, which was being con-
verted into a coal barge The captain
took a particular interest in the old ship
because of having served as mate aboard
her in the early sixties. While he stood
watching the old vessel, a total stranger
approached him, and asked: Isn't your
name julius" The captain replied in
the affirmative. You were a mate on
that ship in the summer of 1882" "Yes"
said the captain. You don't remem Der

Their Real Purpose.

Until recently none Of the newspapers
that favor the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver would admit that they aimed at
a silver standard. They talked about a dou-
bic standard, the money Of the constitu-
tion. and INDUCED in other ex-
pressions which they would not
have been able TO explain sat
ssfactorlly II they had been asked TO do so.
Not once did they admit that what they
desired was to substitute silver for gold
as the standard Of value. Now they are
gradually permitting their real purpose
to be seen. They still say they are in favor
Of bimetallism. but that II it comes to A
choice between gold recommendation and
silver recommendation, they are in favor
OF silver monometaIism. This practically
amounts 10 an announcement that they
are in favor Of a silver standard.
If they mad been entirely frank they
would have stated their position long
ago. They must have known that the re-
suits they claim for the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver could be obtained
in no other way than by making silver
the standard of value. They assert that
there would be an immediate rise in prices
If the mints were thrown open to the free
coinage OF silver. Higher prices would not
necessarily follow unless silver became
the standard. Prices would then OF course
rise. because gold would disappear from
circulation. II the bullion value of silver
remained the same as II is now. however.
ellie
much as a gold dollar. and only half as
much as a silver dollar does now. There
would be just about the same condition
Of affairs as existed during the civil war,
except that the money would not be de-
preciated 10 such an extent as it was
then. Those who had an experience with
deprecated currency during the civil war
and are now clamoring for free silver
coinage, must have short memories. or
they would not be so anxious for a similar
experience. The people were mighty anx-
ious to get back 10 a sound money basis.
and they got there just as soon as they
could. The government incurred a very
heavy burden to get to gold basis again.
but the people approved the expense, be-
cause they we're glad enough to have a
sound currency.
Those who are advocating the free coin
age Of silver may be sincere, but they
are not safe advisers. If their advice should
be taken the country would be over
wholmed by a great financial disaster This
country is a debtor country and a great
commercial country, and its prosperity de-
ponds largely upon the soundness of its
currency. For 60 years gold has been its
standard. as it is the standard of every
other great commercial and prosperous
country. We have sufficient faith in the
people to believe that they will never con-
sent to nave debased currency. When
they fully understand that the silver
standard means a dishonest currency
that It means calling an amount of sill
yer that is worth only 50 cents the world
over a dollar-they will put their stamp of
disapproval upon it.

The municipal election returns from
Ohio towns afford some interesting read
ing. Republican newspapers and orators
have been preaching funeral sermons over
the democracy of the north middle states
for year or more; and now it appears
that the old party is not near dead. but is
whipping fights in McKinley's own state.
The possibility is that the republicans have
been laying in a stock of over-confdence
that will serve their opponents to good
purpose in the next general election.
