INTRINSIC VALUE.
Some Nuts For the Gold-Buss to
Crack-The Decentralization of
Silver,

When our friends who believe the
less money we have In the country the
richer we will be. are talking learned
ly about intrinsic value" they always
forget, or conveniently neglect to tell
us what they mean by the term. We
have pointed out before in these coll
umns that gold has no great intrinsic
value aside from it's use as money.
1t is not used to build houses, like iron;
it cannot be eaten. like wheat; it does
not serve for clothing. like wool or cot
ton. 1t is useful only for ornameAs
and money. AS money it is no more
useful than silver: in fact it is not as
useful, for it is softer and wears away
sooner. But we are told that If you
melt a ten-dollar gold piece you still
have ten dollars in metal, but that if
you melt ten dollars in silver you only
have five dollars. Why this difference?
Does it not lie wholly in the fact that
you can take your lump of gold to the
mint and get a new eagle for it. while
you cannot do that with your lump of
silver? If the government would treat
the two metals alike, would their in
trinSic value not be the same? If you
could take the silver in silver dollar
to the treasury and get silver dollar
for it, as you can with the gold in a
dollar gold piece, would not their IN
trinsic value be equal to their coin in
value?

RELIGIOUS RIOT.
Feud of Long-standing Breaks Out
in Buffalo.


in Buffalo.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Dec. PA feud
which has existed for some time be-
tween the congregation of st. Adelbert
Polish Roman Catholic church and the
dassenters who formed the Church of
Holy Rosary, broke out today in a riot
Of serious proportions. The leading
cause of the outbreak was the action
yesterday Of Father Flaczek, of St.
Adelbert's church, in Selling by re-
plevin a banner of the Holy Rosary
church A number of the latter con-
gregat;on surrounded the priests and
stoned the windows until they were
driven off by the police.
Today q, dinner was given by Father
Flaczek to the Polish Roman Catholic
priests of the city in honor of St.
Thomas day, and the event was made
the occasion Of a, determined attack
upon the priests by the dissenters.
When Father Flaczek and his guests
saw the mob, numbering over 1000,
they at once barricaded the doors. The
storners then yelled and jerred and
hurled stones and other missiles
through the windows. The police ap-
pea.red on the scene early, but the ex-
cited Poles were not dispersed without
liberal use of batons. Thirteen arrests
were made

thank President Cleveland for intimating

the British ministry for refusing to ar

pute and said: Where is that petition
signed by majority of the members of
parliament and addressed to our gov
petual treaty of peace by which all dis
putes shall be submitted to arbitration?''
Resolutions were adopted by DR.. Glad

While war was never seriously antici-

look for war with the utmost apprehen-

Secretary Carlisle's recent utterances on
the currency question, hopes began to re-

crisis had completely shattered all con-
fidence, and even the best gold bonds
were being thrown recklessly on the mar

problem was regarded as impossible, and
until it is seen how events will shape

ORIGIN OF TICKET scALp1No.
Started in Wheeling, w. Va, Quar-
ter of n Century Ago.

Started in Wheeling, w. Va, n Quar-.
ter of n Century Ago.
Campbell Hubbard, rail traveller
of Wheeling, recently said to a Globe
Democrat man: II have just been
reading the decision of Judge Nash at
Dallas in the ticket broker case under
the new Texas law, intended to do
away with the scalpers' business. 1t
strikes me as being an exceedingly
clear and forceful exposition of the
subject matter involved in the TraX1er
prosecution. 1t is closely in line with
decisions in favor of the scalpers in
Minnesota, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
The tus.s of these decisions is that
an unused railway ticket, or an unused
portion of ticket, is legitimate prop
erty. and any law which interferes with
its disposition by sale Is contrary to
public policy, if not in direct conflict
with the constitution of the United
States. This decision of Judge Nash
will help the scalpers, not only down
in Texas, but all over the country. The
extent to which the ticket brokers help
the weak roads against the strong ones
is but little realized and without their
aid many of the lines would go under.
1t is their method of cutting rates Sc
cretLy to stimulate business and the
brokers are really regular agents Of
these companies. BY the bye, perhaps
you you don't know that the scalper
business originated in my town
Wheeling. 1t was about twenty-five
years ago. We had couple of bright
young fellows there-Upton W. Dorsey
and another chap named Frank. They
took notion to speculate on small
scale in tickets of the Baltimore &, Ohio
and the first scalping transaction that
ever occurred in the history of rail-
reading took place there in Wheeling.
The Baltimore & Ohio company made a
big fight upon it. and the case went
to the supreme court of the United
| States. The result was that the Su-
preme court handed down its famous
decision to the effect that when a man
| buys a ticket for so many miles of
transportation he is entitled to travel
: those miles. regardless of the limit

company's agents. From that time on

ART OF REMEMBERING.
The Mind L. Like a Great Library,
Each Volume in Its Place.


A noted medical writer likens the
brain to a vast library and each idea.
or name, or incident, to the volumes
composing it, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser The memory. he
says. acts as librarian and tucks away
each volume Is some peculiar niche OF
its own. Now. when we call on LII
umes, he usually knows where 1t is
and hands it to US instanter; but occa-
sionally he. like other Office holders,
forgets his duties. We call on him
suddenly, waking him from his nap,
perhaps. and he cannot remember
where he put the name of Smith or
Jones. or the little fact regarding the
tariff, or Agamemnon 5 wives or some
thing or other. Sometimes he find 1t
after a moments search, and some
times not for days. But he keeps up a
still hunt for the missing volume. even
while you forget all about it; and
some time when you are least expect
ing it, presto, there is the very thing
you are trying to remember.
For instance, somebody asked the
writer of this paragraph the other day
suddenly for the name Of lady and
ner daughter staying DIT one VI CHe
beaches near Boston. The name was
a perfectly familiar one, being that of
an acquaintance; bue with the ques-
ton 1T suddenly vanished. 1t was inn
possible to answer. Librarian Mem
DRY was asked for 1t three or four
times during the evening, but 1t elu-
ded his efforts completely and for a
day or two the event was forgotten.
Finally, coming down town on the cleo
trio car, with the mind absorbed in
other things, the little librarian jog
gled our elbow. Here 1t Is Smithson,
volume 41,523, shelf 217," he whispered.
AS usual. when one ceases to want the
thing it turns up. Ah, if one could only
change Librarians when the old one
shows signs Of weakening.
