MORRISON AND SILVER.
The Illinois Statesman Interviewed Mt

The Illinois Statesman Interviewed Mt
His Home.
WATERLOO, ILL.,, April 13.-Mr. VIM. R.
Morrison, who has arrived here from
Washington, was asked by an Associated
Press reporter today to give his views on
the silver question. He said his presence
at home at this time had no connection
with the June democratic convention. He
had simply stopped over on his way west,
where the interstate commerce commission
had some business.
He said that during the canvass last year
he had made several speeches. and in one
discussed the silver question freely, and
fully stating his own views.
1.-The Importance of this subject Is second
only to the tariff. Its unsatisfactory and
unsettled condition Is believed to have ag-
81 awaited the financial and business difficult
ties through which we have been compelled
to pass.
"The place which silver shall occupy
In our monetary system. 1t seems. Is a
question which will not down. When the
effort to settle it through the Sherman
bill by the republican party was con-
fessed failure that party fastened to Join
in undoing its work. The sentiment in
favor of larger use of silver and on
terms interchangeable with gold seems to
be growing, both here and abroad
Apparently nobody in Europe Is cour-
ageous OF reckless enough to attempt the
double standard without England's consent.
Can we safely do this with England, and
all Europe opposing? 1t is not the legal
tender quality which makes our silver dol
lars more valuable than the silver in them.
1t is because, under the practice of our
financial system. they are Interchangeable
with gold through the treasury"
when silver was discredited by being left
out of the coinage laws in 1873 there was
nothing in the relative values of silver and
gold to Justify it. This is not the only
cause, but it is one cause why the COM
mercial value of silver Is not more than 1t
is. In prosperous times we could safely
use a large amount Of silver, always pro-
vidng for its convertiblity into money
which does not get Its value from the law.
THE honorable Secretary of the Interior,
Hoke Smith. said in a speech that the bull
ion in the treasury was being coined as
fast as the minis could do 1t, which would
increase our circulation to the extent of
$5J.OCO.OOO This would seem to mean that
the bullion in the treasury. including
seigniorage. is being coined"

much resembling the columns of smoke
arising from huge chimney. At other
times 1t had the appearance Of steam, be-
ing Of a lighter hue. The atmosphere was
unusually clear. giving much better view
of the phenomenon than could be had last

Queen Anne's London.

The houses are plain and substantial, with balconies, and beneath are the quaint bow windows of the period belonging to the various shops-the signs of which still hang as thickly as the banners in a feudal hall. The footway is railed off from the street by substantial posts and forms a kind of lounge where ladies in hoops and sacks are searching for bargains, where beallx salute and exchange snuffboxes, while chair with it's bearers swings steadily along.
 In the road huge tilted wagon with five horses tandem has brought up a load of produce-wool probably from Kent while a bevy of country danes and lasses in broad hats look out in wonder at the movement of the town. Thore are a few fine coaches and a hackney or two in the street, and pair of horsemen jog soberly along and these, with a miller's cart charged with sacks of -four and dog sauntering along, make up the traffic of Cheapside.

A SOCIAL ARRAlGNMeNT.
Husband and Wifo as Viewed by Now
 York Society Journal.

1OEk oooieSy Joufn1l.
 A writer in Vogue-a man, too, by the way-seryes up tho matter of family pc likeness in the following piquant fashion:
 It is not altogether just, and yet thoro is unfortunately enough truth in it to make it a matter of regret that such . state of things should exist Ho says:
 1.-The obligation to be agreeable is not apparently clesscd among tho oughts' of masculine behavior, the result being that, as a sex, men lack graoiousness of demean- or. There arc few women of any social pretensions but recognize the importance and desirability of making themselves gen orally agreeable, and however far they may fall short of being really entertaining women at least mako the effort to be com panionable.
 "Tho most usual examples of the un- likeness of the sexes in this regard is fur nished by wives and husbands in their de- meanor toward one another. Man does not conceive 1t to be any part of the hus- band s duty to be entertaining to his wife. Ho may supply her with opportunities for pleasant expericncos-the play, opera, hos pitality, travcl--bat that he Is under any obliga' on to make himself coiupanionablo or to respond to his wifes efforts to enter tain him does not suggest itself Co the ms sculine mind.
 Nothing is more common in all grades of society thaa tho spectacle of tho husband treating with rudeness of speech or gruff- ness of manner tho wife's effort at 'mak- ing conversation in her endoayor to create an atmosphere of comradeshlp. Public conveyanees, tho theater and hotels offer opportunities for many pathetic studios of the difference between the sexes in this re- gard. The vife essays few remarks, tho husband answers indifferontly or not at all, thus discouraging all conversational attempts on her part.
 "He would greet with derisive laughter the idea that he ought to try to entertain his wife as he would any acquaintance, man or woman, whom he might meet It is all traceable to the masculine doctrine that women were created for mans pleas ure, and it is part of the very lordly atti- tude that man has maintained from time immemorial until recently whom the ar rogance of man met its Waterloo in the self assertiveness of the new woman"

STORY OF DE FOES LIFE.
One of the Most Versatile and Catholic
 Figures In English Literature.


 Men regard with admirng wonder the career of a Napoleon, Q Bismarck Glad stone, an Agasslz or an Edison, but they do not seem to realize what can be done by concentrated and persistent human will power and energy.
 A recently published biography of Dan- iol De Foe is the story of the life of a man who made his mark as q merchant, man. ufaoturer, traveller, politician polemic, journalist, poet, satirist and novelist. This restlessly active and energetic mortal left more than 2B0 printed works, and two of them, by common consent, are master pieces of literature that will last as long as the English language is spoken.
 His was checkered career-now the fa- vorite of one ministry, disgraced and pun ished by another like common criminal, the master one day of a princely mansion and hiding from his creditors the next According to his own statement, De Foe was in his lifetime "13 times rich and poor" record not approached by any great speculator of our day. Sometimes we hear of man who has made three for tunes but we rarely ever hear of Q man who has gone beyond that limit, and cer tainly no man of this generation has been 13 times rich and poor, fortunate and un fortunate in politics, and the author of 250 books, besides showing ability as Q manu- facturer, merchant, traveller, polemic, jour nalist, poet, satirist and novelist.
 Talking about versatility, De Foe beats them all The mere outlines of such ca reer should encourage and stimulate those who complain that they are hampered by circumstances. If De Foe could do what he did, cannot tho average man of pluck, en- ergy and determination accomplish at least one-fourth as muoh?-Dublin Times.

Tea Swoopings.

One of the principal sources of tho sup ply of caffeine in England is the sweep ings of tea from tho floors of the various docks, wharves and warehouses in Lon don. These sweepings aggregate about 675, ,000 pounds of tea annually, or, with the dirt, nails, hoop iron and wood which gets mixed with the tea, to about 400 tons. The loss to tho ten importers an nually is about Sl25, 900. The sweepings have naturally fair proportion of good to fine grade teas mixed with them, and con sequently contain a larger amount of the active principle of tea, called by chemists caffeine, ?. than the low quality teas The swcepings cost the chemist only about half q cent per pound. d.-Merchants' Review.
