SILVER.

The frantic attempt now being made I,
make out that there is material for sill
yer party in this country will end as all
attempts to get silver recognized as {
political issue have ended-in fzzle.
The recent Memphis convention
proved this anew. with the exception OF
the few men whose interests are in silver
production, and the few who look for
some personal profit from the silver pro-
ducers, there is no earnest silver senti-
ment. This is demonstrated again and
again, any time any sort of definite issue
is made.
The longer this question OF silver for
money basis is mooted the clearer its alb
surdity is realized by the masses of think
ing people. The very proposition for
double standard, when it is thought OF
seriously, condemns the whole scheme.
1t is a contradiction in terms. A standard
cannot be double II may be said that
verbal, or grammatical, barrier cannot be
thus easily recognized; but back OF ac-
cepted terms are the ideas that first sug-
gested them and always justified them.
The idea back of our money standard is
that 1t must be stable quality-that it
must be gold.
II is evident that the Democratic party
viii not accept silver as its doctrine. 1t
is even more evident that the Republican
party will not adopt silver. The silver
ties cannot get enough men and brains
together to form a party of their own.
They are winning neither favor nor con-
verts. They are making no progress.
The nearer they press To definite action
the more gelatlnous their support be-
comes, and the more evident it is that the
men who are in it because they must ad-
vocate that which furnishes them incomes
are to be left alone in their obloquy.
People who have shuddered in dread OF
.he silver spook that has threatened TO
italk abroad next year may sleep un-
haunted. That spook will be laid. 1t is
wen now so thin that it can only be rec
'gnized by the aid OF vivid and nervous
There are other issues far more imma-
ent and far more important than silver

 "Yes, trying to catch car, replied the cripple.

 "How was it:" again in chorus.

Then went to take one of the horse cars that take the place of the cable from mid night till morning.

 Insinger had set up a barrel as target and shot at it with a B caliber Flobert rife. The target stood near the house. His sister, with q months old child in her arms, was sitting on stone wall a little way off. Mrs. Smith started to go to the house, and crossed the line of fire just as her brother pulled the trigger of his rifle. The bullet entered her temple and lodged in her brain. The child dropped from her arms and was not injured. The woman staggered few steps and dropped dead.
 Coroner Miles of Yonkers was sum- moned, as wero pr. Tott of Dobbs Ferry and Dr. P. H. Pyne of Yonkers. The coroner caused the arrest of Insinger and committed him to the White Plains jail to await the result of the inquest. The autopsy was performed at once. The doc tors were without a saw, and while debat, ing whether to adjourn the autopsy o1 not, the woman's husband, who did not display very great grief while the doctors were there, thought to relieve them ol their predicament and sent to the barn fol a saw.

Above these thero was an overskirt cut with great round tabs, which fell over the rutfles. Theso tabs had ruffles all around them, and above the ruffles were three milliner'S folds of satin to match the silk in shade. Besides these there were three clusters of folds around the skirt, seven, five and threo folds in the clusters. The waist was full and gathered into a belt, and on tho shoul- ders there was a stiff and wide collar near ly covered with fine folds, and the whole bordered with knife plating. Tho sleeves were puffs, ending just below the elbow with stiff upturned cuffs, Tho whole gown was so stiff that it fairly bal anced as the young "trier on" walked slowly up and down the room.
 Another Style.
 That was ono style. In another quite as fashionable a place there was a gown for young girl for her coming out days. This was of fine white chudda cashmere. The skirt hung from the waist in sovcro unbroken lines. It was full without hay ing the appearance of being so. Down tho front of tho skirt there was one flat band of black guipuro insertion over baby bluo satin ribbon. The belt was mado in tho same way. The waist was a 'baby'' with three lines of tho ribbon and insertion. The neck was cut half low and simply piped with tho blue. The sleeves were el- bow puffs, with three rows of insertion down from the shoulders. There was no
 finish at the elbows. What pretty and maidCnly dress this was despair of mak- ing any one understand. Chudda cash mcro is rather stiff and hairy to tho touch, but the folds would delight an artist.

 From there to another placc took mo from the realms of grace and youthfulncss to the superb beauty of young matronhood. For such I found gown of heavy black peau de soic and n black satin and velvet brocade so stiff and sumptuous as to make it seem sin to cut it.

Kaiser Lays the Foundation Stone of
 Monument to Ills Grandfather.
 BERLIN, Aug. 19.-The twenty fifth an niversary of the battle of Gravelotte which had so decisive an influence upor the Franco Prussian war, was signalizeG here by the laying of the foundation stonG of the national monument to the late Elm. peror William by his grandson, Emperor William II, in the presence of many oI the German sovereigns and other digni taries.
 Tho occasion was not marked by any untoward circumstances, as was feared might be the case. At the frontier, how. ever, some of the old soldiers of the war oi 1870 from Darmstadt crossed over tC Amanvillers to placo wrcaths upon the tombs of tho German soldiers. The French police treated them politely. but insisted upon the removal of the inscriptions from the wreaths
 In Berlin all the houses in the neigh. borhood of the monument were tastefully decorated, the windows and balconies showing streams of bunting and the route being crowded with gayly attircd spccta- tors.
 A flourish of trumpcts announced the arrival of Emperor William. The emperor deposited under the foundation stone of the monument memorial document, in which he referred to the enthusiastic up rising of the German nations under his grandfather, Emperor William the Great. Then, addressing the brilliant assembly, Emperor William said:
 ''The self sacrificing accord of the Ger man princes, the wise counsel and ener. getic support of Won Bismarck, the con- summate strategy and genius of Won MOltke and the unequaled courage and ability of tho commanders of the army, and, before all, of Crown Prince Freder- ick William, the devoted fidelity of Field Marshal von Roon and the discipline oi l the people rendered success certain. But also in the direction of works oi | peace the emperor was untiring to his last breath in active furthcrancc of the welfare of the working classes. The statue of Will liam the Great should form a testimonial of the ihcxtinguishable gratitude of the princes and people of Germany At this point the emperor was handed 6 trowel, with request that his majesty lay | the foundation of the memorial. After the emperor had spread the ce | ment on the stone Baron von Buol- Beren berg, president of the reichstag, gave hil l majesty q mallet. The emperor then tapped | the stone thrice with the mallet, saying: "In memory of the fallen, in recogni tion of the living, for the emulation of flu ture generations.
 The imperial and royal personages pres
 ent then tapped the stone in succession | while salute of 101 guns was fired anG | the bands played. Chancellor von Hohcn
