THE HON. GEORGE f. TALBOT AND
SILVER,

The Hon. George +. Talbot's article on
the silver question which is published
elsewhere is preparatory There is in it
very little actual discussion of the ques-
ton with which he intends eventually
to deal. He is bespeaking the
patience and indulgence of his audience.
Whatever person views may be on the
silver question in this article he will dis
cover little to find fault with. Questions
of this sort, and other sorts, for that
matter, ought to be discussed in calm,
polite and dispassionate manner; but
until there is a very radical change in
human nature there will be many lapses
from what ought to be. Even spiritual
regeneration fails to make man proof
against losing his temper and bandying
epithets in controversy, and when the
discussion is concerning sacred things
even men will get mad and call one an
other bad names Nevertheless Mr. Tai
bots plea for calmness and courtesy is
in order. Mr.. Talbot must know that
yer men have been just as reckless in the
use of epithets as the gold adherents,
and he should therefore have directed
some of his rebukes toward the former.
1t is evident from his article
that he is a bimetalist. In this probably
the great majority of the American people
are in accord with him. Both the great
parties have declared practically in favor
of that policy. The number of gold
monometalists in this country is not
very large, and it is undoubtedly true
that the current is setting quite strongly
now on q gold basis toward the double
standard A man may be bimetalist
and yet strongly opposed to our govern
ment opening its mints to free coinage of
silver without the cooperation of other
commercial nations President Andrews
of Brown University is strong bimetal-
ist, but he has vigorously opposed an at
tempt on the part of our government to
establish the double standard without the
aid of some of the great European coun-
tries The pending controversy in this
country relates not to the comparative
wisdom of general monometalism or gen
eral bimetalism. International bimetal-
ism would be accepted by our people
with very little dissent. Shall we open
our mints to the free coinage of silver
without European cooperation? is the
pressing question before the American
people That is the one they are discuss
ing on the platforms and in the newspap-
ers. and that, no doubt, is the question
which Mr.. Talbot eventually intends to
discuss. When he reaches that we sus-
pect that we shall disagree with him.
And if controversy ensueS we hope to be
able to keep deceased cats" and "stale
eggs out of it.

The Memphis free silver convention is
apparently as large, if not larger, gather
ing than was the sound money conyen-
tion which was recently held there A
good many prominent men seem to be
taking part in it, among them Senators
Harris and Turpie. Evidently there has
got to be good deal more missionary
work done by the New York Chamber of
Commerce before silver sentiment at the
South will be squelched

The Impregnable City. A Romance {.
By Max Pemberton, author of "The Iron
Pirates, ''"The Sea Wolves, ETC., is a find
for lovers of the romantic and for those
who at this season of the year want to
revel in all sorts of adventures never
known on land or sea- Here is a city such
as could not be reared by hand, sought
out by submarine passage, containing
refugees and anarchists and enshrining
an exquisite maiden awaiting ransom
at least the gift of renewed health and of
love. Remarkable experiences work
themselves out and luxury reigns with
lavish sway A hundred pounds for a
service is but bagatelle. An American
occupies page or two and is character
lied by that chimerial II guess, which
with some English writer's seems to be
our only ear-mark. Tho language of
"The Impregnable City is fluent and
there is an eloquence and directness
about the telling of the tale which is at
tractive. New York: D. Appleton &
Company; Portland Loring, Short &

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

AT The First Corner and Other Stories.
By II. B. Marriott Watson, author of
Diogenes of London What effect will
be produced by the reading of these stories
depends upon the philosophy of the read
er. If be does not believe in teaching by
means of the monstrous and horrible, he
will shrink from the pictures drawn by
this author in their naked ugliness. To
handle the subject of riotous passion and
the devastation following in its wake
does not necessarily imply the teaching
OF immortality. By no means, but there
are persons who prefer taking their
chances with sunshine rather than slime
OF the nine numbers here contained In
the Basement" deals with sordid misery
and drink but not with crime "An Or
deal of Three is an idylic little three
cornered love story-a bit of imagination,
playful and pretty; and "The Last of
Blackboard deals with adventures at the
pistols end amongst squatters and bush
rangers. "Mr Atkinson, another of
these stories, stops with murder. But
HAt the First Corner which we think
originally came out in the Yellow Book.
"The House of Shame, 1.-THE Edge of
the Precipice F" 1.-THE Portrait in the
Inn, and ''Akbar Ais Courtyard have
in their depths shuddering meanings.
Indeed in some of them the English Ian
guage could scarcely go further in describ-
ing unspeakable things. All the sketches
show ability and talent for condensed
and striking reproductions of the lower
nature struggling in men and women for
mastery and possession. (Boston: Roberts

Stories of Columbia. By Will H. Glas-
cock, is intended for young people and
serves its purpose, that of fixing attention
upon certain leading events or people in
American history and by means of an in
teresting story or anecdote, arousing
patriotism and loyalty to our own. The
book is of excellent print and is illustrat-
ed. Its topics includes the Mortimer,
Columbus, the Indians, the Mound Build
ers, Our Pilgrim Fathers, England's at
titude, Washington, Lafayette, the
Daughters of the Revolution, the Pion-
neers of the Mississippi Valley, Paul Re-
we're and Sheridan, Some Naval Heroes
and Some American Boys of Genius. The
author is inclined to treat the Mound
Builders with a little more mystery than
do our modern scientists but other than
that the material is well proportioned and
it is good book for the boys and girls.

NJ. Tulli Ciceronis Cato Major De
Senectute, edited with Introduction and
notes by Frank Ernest lockwood, A. NJ.
Professor of Latin in Bucknell Univer-
sity. We find this a valuable little book
both to teachers and scholars, with an
introduction which gives good biog-
raphy of the author and also list of ref
erence books, historical, literary, philoso-
phical, and miscellaneous, as aids to the
study of his works. The notes to the text
are the appreciative words of man of
culture whose aim it is to make the beau
tiful essay well understood. He gives
strong and good sketches of character and
apt illustrations from other authors, not
to the neglect of grammatical construc-
tion as is shown by the supplementary
notes. when due attention is paid to
Cicero's own words, their use and place.

The Countess Bettina. The History
of an Innocent Scandal Edited by "R',
and dedicated to "Mademoiselle H. in
Haute-Saone, is clever little modern
French story of adventure and love and

sympathize with certain pathetic self
pity in the player Kings words in the
epilogue to Alls Well that Ends Well,
All, indeed, the Kings beggar now the

form the background for social daring
and some escapades. Indeed one little
countess is only saved an esclaudre by
the.induence of her family, albeit she is
right at heart and only given to display

be sacrificed Countess Bettina is a spicy
bit of fiction and has the lightness and
airy quality of style needed at this read
ing, when skies are blue and green fields

The Gods, Some Mortals and Lord
Wickenham. BY John Oliver Hobbs, au-
thor of Some Emotions and a Moral, y
ETC., is the odd title of book as singular
as its name. Peculiar in conception, in
style and construction and in develop
ment.
A man meant for better things marries
an unworthy creature, too bad to have
successfully carried out the deception
which she practiced upon her husband, or
so it would seem. "Allegra," this
woman counterpart, is beautiful study
and Wickenham, too, is ideal The
work has originality and power of its
own. 1t carries one from page to page
without inclination to lose the thread but
rather with a deep set wish to see it all
through. We get good deal of pain
with the sense of the gloss having been
rubbed off everything; but there is a
spirituality at the close which makes all
as neary right as may be, where vicious
hands have tied hard knots New York

GOOD WOMAN GONE.
Mrs ,. Il. Cornell Joins the Great Majority
Last Sunday.

Died, In Bedding at an early hour
last Sunday morning, Mrs. James l.
Cornell.
Mrs. Cornell was born July "A, lS4o,
at Toledo, Ohio, her maiden name be-
ing Mary Jane Charleston. When a
small child her parents moved to MI
Morris, N. Y, at which place July 3D.,
1851, she was united in marriage to the
husband who survives her. In 1871
they came to Michigan locating first at
Lowell where they remained one year.
afterwards at Greenville for seven
years, then coming to Bedding, where
they have since resided, period OF
sixteen years.
Six children have been born to them,
five sons and one daughter, two OF the
boys dying in early youth. The eldest
remaining son being Harry j. Connell,
Belongs present postmaster, and also
junior member of the firm OF Holmes
& Connell. The deceased was men,
Der of the Episcopal church and the
funeral services which took place from
the Congregational church Wednesday
at o'clock p. m. were conducted by
Rev. Cyrus Mendenhall, chaplain OF
the Ionia S. III. of c., a clergyman OF
that denomination, assisted by Rev. b.
V. Child of Belding. A profussion OF
the most beautiful floral emblems
covered the casket, with their sweet
incense resembling her life, sweet,
pure and lovely. The remains were
most tenderly laid away to the well
earned rest in the River Ridge ceme-
terry.
Mrs. Cornell had been an invalid for
the past eight years but instead of
making it tax upon those whose duty
it was to care for her, her infirmities
seemed to bind them the closer, and
she indeed reaped bountiful harvest
for the tender loving care exercised by
her in their early years. Every effort
possible was put forth to prolong her
life but without avail. She has gone
but tender and loving recollections
will live on in the hearts of those who
knew her while life lasts. There were
present at the last sad rites besides
the family here, a brother and sister,
VIM. Charleston and Mrs. Frank LaRue,
both from Mt. Morris N. Y.

He was presented with a number of
gifts, among them being five dollar
bill and big package of smoking to-

his wife saying he didn't know what to
do with that but could dispose of the
latter.
The occasion was one which makes
the hearts of old people glad and the
young to feet gay and happy.
