Bingo-Didn't you have some trouble
in building your house?
Kingley-Oh, little. The architect
made slight mistake in the estimate
and it cost me 81, 900 more than counted
on.
Bingo-Was that all?
Kingley-All? No, sir. The carpenters
forgot that there was such a thing as
specifications and left out hail. but OF

Enthusiastically. After the place
was finished l found that my old furni-

THE SILVER CRAZE.
Gustav Schwab Says the High Water
Mark Has Been Reached.


Mark Has Been Reached.
New YORK, June IA. Gustav Ell.
Schwab, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Sound Money Commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce of the
city of New York, said concerning the
chambers crusade against free silver:
"The high-water mark of the silver
craze has evidently been reached. The
most significant thing to emphas ize this
fact is the action of the Populist State
Convention of Des Moines, Ia, at which
General James B. Weaver and his fol-
lowers we're completely turned down by
the more conservative elements.
"The one cheering thing of the whole
fight is that the Populist party ia disin-
tegrating, and that sound sense is find
ing a foothold among the farmers. The
campaign of education is bearing fruit,
and, unless all signs fail. before the
Presidential election occurs next year
the rampant silverltes will be routed
horse and foot. Both political parties
are making bids for the sound money
sentiment among the voters, and it is
believed that Ohio will be found in line
with the Eastern States on this question.
Indiana shows q strong following OF
sound money men, and the indications
are that Senator Voorhees, will have a
hard time to convince the honest farm
ers of his State that fifty cents can be
made into dollar. The fiasco of the So
called Springfield Convention in illinois
has proved damper on the hopes and
expectations of the silverites."

THE BATTLE OF BULL RUN.
How the Battle Might Have Been DIFF
foranf

How the Battle Might Have Been Diff
ferent.
The first star that shed its luster on the
Union arms was that of General McClel-
Ian. the young Napoleon of the West,
whose victories in Western Virginia
made his name household word. He
was the first to propose comprehensive
plan for aggressive movements against
the rebellion. and coming from one of the
youngest soldiers of the army it is not
surprising that General Scott, with his
sensitiveness as to advice from those of
less experience. rejected it and presented
comprehensive plan Of his own, then
known as the "Anaconda" method of
crushing the rebellion. In this dispute
Lincoln took no part, and probably gave
little attention to it. He then chung to
the hope that no such general military
movements might be necessary to attain
peace. His belief was that shared by
most of the prominent men of the Cabi-
net that successful battle and the cap
ture of Richmond would bring peace.
He had no occasion, therefore, to exer-
else his authority as COMMANDMENTS
chief beyond comforting with General
Scott and the Secretary of War. Had he
understood the issue then as he UNDER
stood 1t year or two later, hazard little
in saying that the first battle OF Bull
Run would have been differently fought,
and with almost reasonable certainty
of the defeat of the insurgents.
The care with which he watched the
diffusion of military forces, and the keen
sagacity and tireless interest he ever
manifested in the concentration of our
military forces in every campaign, forbid
the assumption that. had he understood
the war then as he soon learned to UNDER
stand it, there could have been q division
of the Union forces in the Bull Run cam
paign to fight the united forces of the
enemy. General Mcdowell fought the
battle of Bull Run with 1866 effective
men and twenty-four guns, when he
should have had some $4,000 additional
from General Patterson's command, and
from $4,000 to 10000 of the Pennsylvania
Reserve Corps. then fully organized and
ready for the field. l feel quite sure that
had Lincoln then assumed the authority
as COMMUNICATIVE that he ever
after maintained until Grant became
Lieutenant-G eueral, Mcdowell would
have commanded fully $4,000 men at Bull
Run, and would have overwhelmed the
enemy and marched into Richmond. 1t
is possible. indeed quite probable. that
such an achievement would have ended
the war.-Coionel A. x. Mcclure, in Me-
Clure's Magazine.
