The silver Convention.

The Memphis silver convention Is not
composed wholly Of democrats. II is made
up or men OF all shades Of political opin-
ion-democrats. republicans and populists.
a great many Of the delegates were ap-
pointed by governors who are silverites,
many moro by silver clubs and court house
cliques and not few are self appointed.
Il is noticeable that among the more prom
incnt delegates are men who We're leaders
in the greenback agitation that attracted
so much attention years ago. and 1t is
probable thai a very considerable per-
centage Of the delegates who are unknown
TO fame were greenbackers. As matter
OF fact a very large proportion Of the sill
verites favor the free coinage Of silver al
the ratio Of 16 TO l for the same reason
that unlimited issues of greenbacks were
favored when the greenback craze had
possession Of the west
The silverite organs tried 10 make it APP
pear that the sound money convention that
met in Memphis a couple Of weeks ago
was dominated by politicians They did
not succeed. because that convention was
representative Of the people. There were
very few politicians present. outside of
Congressman Catchings and Patterson and
Secretary Carlisle it would be difficult to
name a prominent politician who took
part in that convention. The delegates
were business men and planters.
But what about this silver convention?
Who are the men who compose it and con-
troll IL? All the old silverite hacks are
present The men who have been talking
free silver coinage for years in congress
and out of it are its leaders. 1t is a con-
vention dominated by politicians and sill
yer mine owners.
Its influence will not amount to much.
Every day the people are getting a better
understanding OF the silver question and
in proportion as they understand it the
silverites are losing ground. The people of
this country are not in favor of debased
currency. They want sound money, and in
90 I'D time they will fully understand that
free silver coinage at the ratio of IS to
does not mean sound money. There are
tens of thousands in the ranks of the sill
verites who want an increase in the vol
ume of the currency. and they have been
led to believe that free silver coinage
would give them what they want. They
will be undeceived. Those who favor
sound money have the facts and the argu-
ments and these will have a telling effect
as the campaign progresses. 1t is safe to
assert that there will not be an argument
advanced a Memphis which has not been
shown already to be based on false state
ments or from which an incorrect con-
clusion has not been drawn. The silverites
are boastful and noisy, but being unable
to give any good reason why the country
should adopt the silver standard there is
no danger of their succeeding in their eff
fort IN behalf of a debascd currency.

is now spoken of those voters of the city
of Brooklyn who are opposed to the an
nexation of their city by New York. They
have formed loyal league" the badge
of which is the wearing of moustache and
mutton chops that run together at the
points. 1t goes without saying that many
of the loyal Brooklynites are called upon
to sacrifice facial charms to their prn-
ciples, but they do not seem to mind that
much. They prefer lesser whiskers to
Greater New York.

What Tom Reed Thinks.
From the Philadelphia Record {Dem.

Mr. Thomas B. Reed having been ques-
toned as to the action of the recent Alt
geld Democratic Convention In Illinois in
favor of free silver, and as much of it as
possible, replied: You will excuse nc,
l am sure, from entering into such oo-
il is safe to assume that no great signifI-
canoe can be attached to their action. =
Mr.. Reed is right; and his classifieation
of the movement as Insignificant is5in it
self sufficiently significant as TO his opin-
ion of the free coinage craze.

A. a meeting Of the Massachusetts, Wo-
man suffrage association held in Boston a
few days ago, IL was resolved that mas
much as the woman suifragists had thir-
teen times appealed 10 the legislature TO
submit the question Of equal rights 70 the
people. and had thirteen times been re-
fused, the association now decline to ac-
cept the legislatures suggestion that the
women vote on the question themselves
and ascertain If they really want the fran
schise. II seems that the sufra gists are
rather fearful that their own sex would 90
back upon them, hence they wish the men
to vote them into political equality before
the majority of women have expressed
themselves in favor of the change.
The Southwest newspaper Of Cincin-
natl says that the free silver movement
in Ohio is already practically beaten.
and that there is a growing change Of
sentiment in the Democratic party in IA
vor of sound money among those
who have been supporters Of the silver
movement. The democrats of Richland
county have Endorsed the policy of the
administration at delegate convention.

From CharIeston News and Courier Denl

When the merits of the case were so
well understood, even at so great a dis
lance from South Carolina, 1t is not sur
prising that the partisan Judgment was so
speedily set aside when it was submitted
to competent court. The simple fact OF
the situation is that Judge COTS unwar-
ranted act of extra judicial interference"
was condemned and overruled by the COM
mon sense of the country before the case
had reached the court of appeals.

The announcement was made some two
weeks ago that a free silver daily news
paper, to annihilate Henry Watterson and
the Courier-Journal, was TO be started at

the rumors of the coming champion have
died out. and Watterson is left in posses
sion of the field.

The silver-producing states sent the larg-
est delegations to the Memphis conven-
ton. Some of those states have less popu-
Georgia. yet they propose to swing the
United States for the benefit of the silver
mine owners, who come very near own
ing the insignificant states politically, as
well as the mines.

Ex-Congressman Richard P. Bland, of
Missouri, is one of the most ardent
friends OF silver in the country. Yet he
declined to attend and address the Mem
phis silver convention. Mr.. Bland proba-
bly, lacked faith in the disgruntled politi-
clans and the ring of silver mine owners
at the head and front of the movement.
hence his determination to hold aloof from
the meeting. 1t is safe to assume that any
silver meeting which Mr.. Bland refuses to
attend is not all that it ought to be, even
from a silver point of view.

WY We Lnnrh.

A French philosopher has. contributed
to a Paris magazine an article in which
he claims to explain the true theory of
laughter. He goes about it. too. in pretty
much the way jeweler might be expect
ed to explain the theory of the working
of some new watch movement. This. con-
sidering the fact that the subject is being
dealt with from the point of view of the
psychologist. and not from that of the
anatomst, makes the philosophers Sc
robustness and confidence in his conclu>
sons almost laughable. He rejects the
theories of Darwin, Balm, Hobbies and
others, and formulates one of his own
which he says explains the true cause OF
laughter, and from which he deduces that
there is fixed law of laughter, just as
there is a fixed law for making the wheels
of a watch go round. There are certain
conditions. he says, which, when produced
always produce laughter, and which when
suppressed always suppress laughter, anG
the law of the conditions is thus express
ed: THAT which causes laughter is that
which is at once, from one point Of view,
natural" The theory is, therefore, one OF
contrast. somewhat modified.
Accepting :. this theory as correct the
slowness Of some people to see the point
of joke may be explained. They see
only one side of the proposition at time;
the second view does not follow instantly.
In some cases it follows very slowly Thus
it sometimes occurs that the laugh comes
half minute, or a minute or several
minutes if the nearer be an Englishman.
after the exciting cause of it has trans.
pired The lapse of time is required for
the brain to view and grasp the double
bearing of the observation. If the second
view should be missed. no laugh follows.
but the unfortunate listener to the Joke
is left in state of perplexity. The grasp
ing of the two views of proposition or
situation embodying the requisite condi-
tons produces a spasmodic shock TO
thought, and that shock is laughter.

A MORAL AND NICE BOOK.
What a Young Lady Thought of the New
Testament.

1t was once the good fortune of a
Harper's Bazaar writer to read, in the
island of Fayal, letter just written by
young lady of Portuguese-English
birth who had been reading the New
Testament for the first time. 1t was
worth while to see such a letter, for
many persons must have felt, first or
last, with Thoreau, that it would be a
delightful thing for anyone to encoun-
ter those wonderful narratives as a
fresh discovery, in maturer years,
apart from all the too familiar associa-
lions of Sunday school and sermon
Such, as any rate, was this young
lady's experience, and her statement of
the result was at least little astonish-
ing She wrote, in her haif-foreign
English, to an American friend in these
words. did you ever happen to read
a book called the New Testament? If
not, 1 advise you to do so. I have just
been reading it one of these days, and
1 find it a very moral and nice book"

Throughout my whole life, says a
blind person in the Argosy, my blind
ness has had this remarkable feature in
it: L always have before my eyes bril-
liant light, so that the whole air around
me seems, as it were, incandescent. l
appear to be walking in light. In this
light l can call up at will all sorts of
beautiful colors, which l see mingled
with the radiance and forming part of
it. Thus my blindness has always
been for me in a certain way bright
ness.
AS [ grew older there came to me
other abnormal peculiarities, which
have been mercifully sent as compen-
sations. L can always tell when others
are looking at me, and [ can generally
tell whether they are looking at me in
kindness or the reverse. My sense OF
hearing is extremely sensitive, and
through it 1 can read character in the
tones of the voices of men and women
around me.
