FREE SILVER LEAGUE.

Huntsville Mercury.
 The organization of 8 free silver league at Birmingham will cause a more thorough discussion of the money problem than has heretofore been indnlged in by the press Of Alabama. The probable effect of free coin age of silver is subject entirely too deep to be discussed in perfunctory manner, and will doubtless cause our embryonic statesmen and newspapers makers to give the matter closer attention than has been done heretofore.
 There are two classes of men who are al- ways outspoken for free coinage of silver the willy politician who knows that cheap money arguments will catch the masses, and that large body of individuals who do not possess dollar at a time often enough to test the "parity" of which they talk so much. The first named class find their ar guments well received and rewarded gen. orally, and for at reason will not likely abandon the old game. It is the influence of the former class upon the latter that keeps the free silver issue alive in the south.
 The Mercury is fully aware that Ala bama has great many good men who are in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, men whose opinions are entitled to respect, but vast majority of the silver advocates of Alabama belong to the former classes. If our citizens would study the financial situation in free coinage Mexico,

THE hen is the true bimetalllst. She maintains the parity between the gold and silver in her eggs. If she is inclined to cackIe over her achievement she is excus- able, for it is a problem that has con- founded the wisest in all ages. The egg, with its heart of gold ensbrined in it's casket of silver, should be the emblem of the bimetallists. AS long as the egg is sound the parity is not disturbed. When decay sets in the parity is destroyed. Fra grance is ths music of the egg, smell the discord of it's harmony. The goose that laid the golden egg was goose compared to the hen, and suffered the fate that be. falls all mouometaliists.

IN the mountains of North Carolina is found natural wonder that is the marvel Of travellers. It is the following cave." h the winter the cold air rushes in, while in the summer it pours out. So strong is the suction that living animals are drawn in, and when the air rushes out It is laden with the smell of their decaying carcasses. The rush of air is always accompanied with a horrible roaring. The North Carolina Legislature, which has just adjourned, was very much like this following cave." The noise it made frightened the psople, but it was nothing but wind after all. The smell from decaying political corpses arose as a stench in the nostrils of all good people. The body will go down in history as the ''Llowing cave" Legislature.

AN EMPHATIC OBJECT LESS,

AN EMPHATIC OBJECT LESSON. New York World.
 On the 18th of February the treasury held Al ,340, 1S1 of gold and the clearing house banks about S82, ,000, ,000, making total of about S123 ,3d0 ,000 ''in sight.
 On the 2d of March, eighteen days later, the treasury held sS7. 1880, ,9s7 and lhe banks S69, 592, 800, or a total of S157 ,573, 4S7.
 The net imports of gold during that twenty days were s5,616, 2O6. The other S2S, ,617 GOO had come out of private stocks that had been boarded for d premium. The hoarding ceased the moment the prospect of a premium disappeared.
 There could hardly be more impressive object lesson in the necessity and the prac- tical value of maintaining the integrity and redeemability of our currency. There could be no more conclusive demonstration of the fact that If we let our currency notes become other than Instantly redeemable liabilities, payable on demand in the best money there is, we shall suffer the calamity of a contraction to the fall extent of all the gold and allthe gold notes in circulation. Contraction by boarding is quite as disas. trious as any other form of contraction. It is the inevitable result of doubt as to the redeemability of the paper currency or of the purchasing parity and easy interchange" ableness of all kinds of money.s

IF Cuba wasn't very rich country 1t couldn't stand the excessive taxation. Ev- erything is taxed except dead mems es- iates, and they would be taxed if anything was left. When a man registers at hotel the clerk aifixes a stamp to his name. Every small store pays an annual govern ment tax of $500. A citizen must provide himself with an Identification paper at a cost of s5. Every letter in a business sign is taxed, and as some of the merchants have very long names the tax amounts to something. Clerks hand over 2A per cent oftheir salaries, aud railroads 10 per cent of their gross receipts. Alter revolution 10 per cent is added to all taxes for a series of years.

SOUTH DAKOTA correspondent of the New York Shipping and Commercial List, Mir. Charles L. Hydes, makes an estimate of available wheat. He estimates that over 75, GOO, eco bushels of the crop of 1894 have been fed to stock. Of the 6.c00, ,000 farmers in the United States be believes that 1, ,000,- O00 have fed an average of 100 bushels each. He further estimates that the amount in the country July 1 next will not exceed 40, 900, eco bushels, and with the greatly re- duced acreage of the growing crop the con- ditious call for an advauce of 100 per cent in prices then.

the explosion of some of the enemy artlI-
lery and sharp twinge. in his side con-
WINGED him that he had been hit IN turn.
For few seconds the fusillade continued
and Seaton felt himself growing so weak
that he must have surrendered had not an
unexpected ally come TO his help.
And this was no other than the young
and semi-idiotic son of the owner OF the
beleaguered castle. He slept in small
hole in the attic and az soon as he was dls-
turbed by the shots. strangely enough he
comprehended the situation.
An enthusiastic prospector who had oc-
cupied this room before had filled 1T with
specimens of quartz from the neigh boring
mountain. These the simple lad had
grasped, and with no insignificant force
hurled on the foe beneath. Tais attack
from above was so unexpected and effective
that the two unwounded bandits, with
yells of dismay, rushed to their horses and
dashed for the mountains.
BY this time the neighbors were alarmed,
and as Seaton begged the old woman
whose home he had so CALAMITY defended,
they hocked in, foremost among them
Wharton, who was making an early morn
ing visit to the town, for it was now broad
daylight.
Seaton's wound was slight one, the
bullet having just touched the rib as it
glanced off, and the party of citizens who
had followed the marauders to the mount
aims had tragedy that night. There were
two desperadoes less in Monterey County,
dismissed BY the rope.
Jim Seaton's bullet had sent the leader
of the gang ahead of his companions.

It was hot in the laundry. Little Marie,
sitting upon Louis table-Louis had gone
out with the collection-wagon-wa flushed
with the heat Her thin hair lay in damp
rings on her baby brow and in the back of
her wee neck as she leaned forward to pick
up chewing peppermint from the table.
Louis had given her five when he lifted
her, crying, from the floor, and established
her upon her present high, narrow perch.
With strict impartiality she was eating
them all at once. They were ranged, wet
and sticky, before her on the ironing-sheet,
and one by one each was lifted to her be-
daubed little mouth, sucked for an instant
and then replaced in the row, to give way
to the next in turn.
Presently Maman Elise espied her. Ma
man Elise was hurrying to finish a marvel
of sheer muslin that she was ironing. Her
sharp, double-pointed iron was at exactly
the right temperature. The muslin was
dampened just enough to iron nicely. She
could not leave it.
''Jules!" she cried. sharply, "Will you
not look to the little one? Is it who
must attend to everything?"

scalpers' tickets and demanded that the
travellers should sign their names again so
that he could compare the signatures with
those on the tickets. Although Mr..
Thresher felt rather indignant at being
thus publicly insulted the signatures were
written.
Mr.. Murray, after due comparison, pro-
nounced them not in the same handwriting
as the names signed to the ticket. The
conductor thereupon declared that unless
Mr.. Thresher could at once identify him.
selyf both he and his wife must leave the
train at the next station or pay the full
fare. Being on pleasure trip Mr.. Thresh-
er was unprepared to make the identifica-
ton, and having already been insulted by
no mood to pay his fare over again. He
had numbered check on his keyring,
and he told the conductor that by tele-
graphing to the check company in Boston
the Southern Pacific Company could sat-
lsfy itself that George P. Thresher was the
owner of that check.
The conductor CURLY remarked that he
was not in the telegraph business and that
Mr.. 1hresher should either pay his fare
at once or leave the train. Mr.. Thresher
declined to do either.
The next station was Colfax, in Placer
County. Mr.. Thresher, still refusing to
leave the train, the conductor called in
the train crew of four men and proceeded
to forcibly eject the passenger. They
caught hold of him and tore loose his
grasp on the iron framework of the seat,
pushed, showed and carried him to the
platform and threw him out on the
gravel.
Then they went back to the car, and
without asking Mrs.. Thresher to pay her
fare forcibly elected her from the train.
Mr.. Thresher was badly injured, both
during the struggle in the car and by his
fall from the platform to the ground. His
torn off them, and aside from this he sus-
tanned serious internal rupture.
Bystanders at Colfax carried Mr..
Thresher to the hotel. A physician was
summoned. A few days later, when the
Southern Pacifc's surgeon paid Mr..
Thresher visit at the hotel he found the
patient suffering from what is called in
guial IBERIA. This was. not only very pain
full, but necessitated long course of treat
ment. 1t was some time before Mr..
Thresher could be removed to his home in
Los Angeles.
In the meantime the train had gone off
with their baggage. 1t had been checked
to Roseville, where Mr.. and Mrs. Thresher
had expected to again leave the train for
little trip through the country. Now they
were left at the country hotel without even

Both husband and wife think that the
$50, 600 damages that each demand for the
insulting and outrageous treatment re-
ceiyed at the hands of these employees of
the Southern Pacific Company small
enough pay for the indignities and suffer-
ing caused them. The first suit is brought
by George p. Thresher, and the second by
George P. Thresher and wife, and the
promise is made that they will be pushed
vigorously.

POSITIVELY FREE OF CHARGE.

How can DR.. Shores afford to give treat
ment and medicine free is question that
has been asked and answered many times
in DIR. Shores parlors last week. We will
tell you:
The treatment is the best and the COM
pany has $50, 900 cash to introduce it.
They have proven what it will do, and
now they give the entire public OF San
Francisco a chance to test it free. If the
treatment was not success DR.. Shores
would not be willing to give it public
test.
So all you have to do is to call at DR..
Shores parlors on or before September Z
and you will receive examination, consulta-
ton, treatment and all medicines free for 10
days. Surely this is a fair proposition.
Don't delay, come at once.
Remember this:
Don't get DR.. Shores offer mixed up
with any other in the city. DIR. Shores does
not advertise free treatment and then
charge you for medicine. He does not
give you medicine that will eat away the
delicate Innings of the nose, throat and
stomach. DR.. Shores treatment is mild,
pleasant and effective.
In DR.. Shores offices you will find
regular graduated physicians, men of
experience and learning. 1t is not safe to
experiment with doctors in name only.
The physicians of the DR.. A. ]. Shores
Company are men of National reputation.
