Republican League.

Those who are speculating about
what action the national convention of
the republican league will take regard
Ing the tariff and the financial ques-
ton are not well posted regarding the
organization and work of this auxiliary
movement. The republican league
was organized for campaign work
under the general direction Of the
national and state committees of the
republican party. They well under
stand this and in the league constitu-
ton they 6Xed.the limitations of their
work as falling short of making plat
forms and naming candidates. The
delegates to the league convention
were not elected at primaries or con-
ventions. Thus were selected by per-
manent officers of the state leagues
and they cannot speak or act for the
great body Of voters who are at home.
Should the men who direct and control
1t aver assume that 1t is the party, or
can speak and act for the party on the
most important features of a cam
paign, that moment will work the
downfall Of the league. The republi-
can party will never c%ountenance or
tolerate a Tammany machine, and the
league, would be no better than a Tam
many machine if it assumed to do the
thinking for the party. AS well might
the league presume to nominate a can
dida7e for president as for it to assume
to make a p!atform.-Chicago Inter

London clearing house reckons money
by gold bullion weight. If a Mexican
owes a debt in New York and can get
an American silver dollar it answers
the same as gold. That is all there
is about it-but in Mexico for all
business uses among Mexicans their
coined dollar is worth 100 cents. And
to day Mexico is prosperous under her
silver currency.
The same fact is true Of our gold
coin. The London clearing house-or,
in other words, the British creditor,
doesn't take our gold at is face value,
but at its bullion value. lie will not
give credit for $50 or a double eagle,
but weighs it and gives the bullion
value.
The great fact underlying this mat.
ter is that the legal tender o of a ma.
ton is worth its face value, and when
exported to country where it is not
legal tender 1t is rated at its bullion
value by weight. Tie silver dollar OF
the United States is worth, or will
bring 100 cents IN London just as well
as at home. less the cost of sending ii
here to pay debts where 1t is a legal
coin. Any visitor there can verify
this by going to a broker and selling
American coined silver.
All This so cen. dollar talk is a simp-
le falsehOod calculated and used to de-
%ceiYe-by giving to legal tender coins

ing the legal tender coin yalue-Karsas

woNDERFULFEATS OF MEMORY.
Some Minds Have a Facility for Retain

Some Minds Have "a Facility for Retain
iEg Certain Glasses of Facts.
Among those who have performed
great feats of memory Cassell's Family
Magazine mentions DR.. Fuller, author
Of the "Worthies of England" He
could repeat another mans sermon
after hearing it once, and could repeat
five hundred words in an unknown
language after hearing them twice.
He one day undertook to walk from
Temple Bar to the farthest end of
Cheapside and to repeat on his return
every sign on either side of the way
in the order of their occurrence, and
he did it easily Iu such feats as this
the eye plays chief part; yet blind
people also have good memories. Rev.
b. j. Johns, chaplain of the blind asy-
l1m. London, testified that a large
number of pupils learn the Psalter and
that one young man was there who
could repeat not only the whole of the
one hundred and fifty of the prayer
book Psalms and a large number of
metrical psalms and hymns, as well as
a considerable amount of modern
poetry, including Goldsmith's de
serted Village" but the whole of mil
toms Paradise Lost" with marginal
notes and a biography. Lord Macau-
lay on one occasion repeated to him
self the whole of Paradise Lost
while crossing the Irish channel. AT
another time, waiting in a Cambridge
coffee-house for a post chaise, he
he picked up a country newspaper
containing two political pieces-one
the reflections Of an Exile" and the
other a Parody on a Welsh Ballad
looked them once through, never gave
them a further thought for forty years,
and then repeated them without the
change of a single word. Macaulay's
mind, some one has said, was like a
dredging net, which took in all that IL
encountered. both good and bad, nor
ever seemed to feel the burden. Very
much unlike a dredging net, and more
like a strainer, are the minds of some
other persons who carefully select
what they will retain or have a natu-
raj facility for remembering special
classes of facts-George Bidder for fig
ures, Sir w. Scott for verses, Mezzo-
fanti for languages. !
