SILVER IN MEXICO.

one of the favorite arguments in
dulgcd in by the anti-slivcr writer's and
orators is to picture the alleged an
happy condition Of Mexico "uuder its
load Of silver" II seems never t0 uc.
cur TO them that there is another side
to the question, even In NIHHie0.
Mr. Romero, the Mexican minister at
Washington, Is certainly recognized as
It man Of broad training, superior in
judgment ana altogether statesman
standing head ana shoulders the equal
Of any of mis- diplomatic associates In
an article from his pen published i'm the
June number ~ the North American
Review this representative of Mexico
goes $50 far as to say that the single
silver standard there works very salts
factorily; that even in the face Of the
domination of gold In the leading COM
mercial nations silver encourages very
largely the increased export If domestic
products, aids the development OF home
manufacturing, stimulates industry,
maintains prices and increases the de-
mand for labor. And in an elaborate
argument h. shows why this is So. and
also shows why the people are satisfied
with silver as their monetary basis
ana have no disposition to change the
policy
1t is a long step from gold mono
metallism To- silver monometallism,- and
In the discussion now going on as To the
future of silver here there are none who
seriously advocate the latter. The gold
wogshipers insist that the free coinage
of both gold and silver would mean
silver mQuometallism. That is the
yerest rot, but even If it We're true the
experience of Mexico as presented by
Mr. Romero is proof that the country
rtaiuly faced a worse condition when
Mr. Cleveland presented II with his in
famous object lesson.
Il would br just as well for the cause
Of the gold advocates if they would let
us hear less Of their predictions af what
will come under monometalusm ana give
more OF their attention 10 what has been

The reports Of the commencement sea-
son that is now on very generally show
the schools TO be in an unusually pros
porous condition, with large graduating
classes and even brighter prospects for
the coming school year. Considering the
hard times, nocessitating the closest
economy among people Of all callings.
this Is a fact that is worthy of com.
ment. 1t is an indication that is GER
tainly encouraging to those who believe
that the pcrpetuity of our national in

our public school system. For the pub
lie schools are the feeders of the places
Of special training, and without them
1t would bc impossible for the latter to
exist in the work in which they are now
engaged.
Popular education has from the first

suits of the past years work. strength
ems the faith of the hopeful in the better

growth of the country.
with the growth of the schools in
numbers of pupils there is constantly
increasing demand for a higher order

enlarged responsibilities. These re-
Quirements. it is encouraging to note,

ESTIMATES NEED REVISING.

good soaking rain has changed the
crop outlook to such an extent that the
estimates of the Spectators will have to
be materially altered II was but two
or three weeks ago that the reports had
it that the growing wheat and other
small grains were pretty much all killed
by frosts and steady cold weather. Last
week they We're Killed again by the un-
seasonable heat and dry winds and the
corn crop was well nigh annihilated in
many sections. Along came real old
fashioned sort of a ranstorm. extending
over three or four states. and we now
learn that the timely moisture saved
sured a good corn crop.
1t is but natural that the people in the
towns supported by the trade of the
corn ana wheat country should be deep
ly interested in the crop outlook. for a
small yield means slow trade and close
money. while big crops mean good coll
lections, brisk trade and prosperity. No
body but the spectators profit by the
calamitous crop reports that follow
every recurring freak of the weather
Prices in the wheat pit may be doomed
by such artificial means, but the producer
never prOntS from II. The average
farmer has no grain on hand when the
spring planting season is over His only
interest lies in the price that he will get
for his crops when harvested. The
speculator may gamble ever 50 much on
the price that wheat will command in
July, and he may make money when it
goes up and again when it goes down,
but it is the price that the buyer pays
the farmer when he hauls his load Of
wheat to the market that counts in the
way of making business.
So the farmer gains nothing what
ever by spreading calamitous stories
about the ravages of the chiuch bug.
the destruction of hail storms. dry
weather, hot winds or frosts. 1t is in
variably the case that facts are exag-
gerated on such occasions.
Taking the run of the country tribu-
tary to the trade of Kansas City. we
believe the outcome of the crop season
will show a fair average yield, and con-
sdering the demoralization Of all indus
tries we believe the farmer will realize
u good return for his years work.

GENERAL JAcKsoSs nRKAsrwoRKs.
Was the Cotton Bale story n Fiction Of
History?

To the Editor of the Journal
In your issue OF this date, May 30, you
have this: Another Myth Exploded; the
story OF Jacksons Cotton Bale Breast-
works Mere Fiction" Then follows a
quotation from the Boston Herald. In
which II says that there are few of the
school boys OF few generations past who
were not taught that General jackson won
the battle OF New orleans behind breast
works OF mud and cotton bales. The
writer, who Is now 90 years old, was one
OF those school boys who was so taught
and who firmly believes that he was taught
truthfully and that Il was no myth. and he
thinks he has good reasons to so believe
outside Of school book lore, notwithstand-
Ing the historian Of the day. MIR. Henry
Adams, makes no mention OF that part Of
the battle. His falling to make mention
Of the feature OF General Jackson's hur-
riedly improvised hreastworks does not
prove that there were no breastworks Of
mud and cotton bales.
Now. in my Youthful days n another
county IN this state there lived near my
fathers home an old. crippled soldier by
the name of Brown, who was in the bat

badly was he wounded. that he was never
able to walk erect. have often heard
him relate his experience in that noted
battle. how his division of General jack
sons army was placed: how they were
hurriedly thrown out into the swamps lN-
ing between the city and that part Of the
Gulf coast where the British fleet and
army lay, preparatory TO their advance on
the city. have often heard hin, say that
all night long General Jackson conscriptcd
every conceivable means of conveyance
and by and with them pushed forward the
cotton bales and as fast as they reached
the camp they placed them In line and
covered them with earth, making line Of
hreastworks about FIVE feet high from the
bottom OF the pit 20 the top OF the bales.
have often heard him say that in places
the soldiers were compelled to stand in
mud and water In the trenches knee deep
while they awaited the coming Of General
Packingham and the British redcoats.
Now whether this old hero OF the war OF
1872 told the truth or not the writer does
not know. but knowing the old hero to be
conscientious and exemplary Christian
citizen ! cannot help but give credence to

WORLDS GREATEST JUGGLER.
The Famous Severus Schafcr VIII Delight
the Patrons of Washington
Park Next Week,

Beginning with tomorrow afternoon, and
continuing for one week only, Washington
park will offer to the public the finest at
traction ever yet secured by that favorite
resort of the people of Kansas City. The
Washington park management has started
in this season with the motto that IL pays
to get the best attractions for the enter
tainment of visitors. and no expense or
pains has been spared to secure high class
artists.
The attraction for the coming week will
be Severus Schaffer, unquestionably the

SChaffers in that show will not overlook
the opportunity of seeing one of them
again. Schaifer is not common juggler
been seen so often, but an artist whose
work is astonishing. He Is an exempiifica-
ton of the saying that the hand Is quicker
than the eye, for no man can follow the
how he performs his wonderful feats. One
of the tricks which Schaffer does and which
he calls easy will serve to illustrate the
class of work he does: He takes three
