milwaukee Advance.)
Here are a few quotations to which
we cali the special attention of our
gold bug friends:
The advocates of strict literal con-
struction of the phrase "to coin mon
ey and regulate the value the reot"
while insisting that it defines the ma
terial to be coined as metal are COM
PEELED to concede to Congress large
discretion in all other particulars.
The cons titu tion does not ordain what
metals may be coined or prescribe
that the legal Uahte of the metals Uhe,,
coined shall correspond at all acith their m
trinsic ual,,e in the market. Nor does it
even affirm that Congress may declare
anything to be legal tender for the
payment Of debts.
That's pretty straight talk isn't it.?
But here is some that is straighter:
1t is hardly correct to speak of a
standard of value. The constitution
does not speak of it. 1t contemplates
a standard for that which has gravity
or extensions; but udlue is On, ideal thing.
The coinage acts fix its unit as a dol
lar; but the gold or silver thing we
call dollar is in no sense standard
of dollar. 1t is representative of 1t.
That's very radical isn't it? Well
Mr.. Old Fogy you will find those exact
words in the decision of the United
States supreme court, in the cases of
Knox VS.. Lee ct al, and Parker VS..
Davies, delivered in.December 1870.

MORE HUMBUG.
PRODUCE THE MAHATMA

PRODUCE THE MAHATMA.
Mr.. Judge. the high priest of Ameri-
can theosophy, who is sojourning in
the vicinity of Manitou. will have to
turn his attention to one William
Woodville Rockhill. Mr.. RockhilI is
an explorer and has written a book
setting forth with great circumstan-
tiality his belief, among other things,
that theosophy is fraud. Moreover.
he asserts that there isn't any Mahat-
ma in or about Thibet, and that the
Intelligent residents of that region
had to have explained to them what
was meant by Mahatma before they
could be led to discuss the subject.
There wasn't even a tradition among
them that such being as the Mahat-
ma ever had an existence.
AS Mr.. Rockhill spent long time
in Thibet and the Pamir, which are
asserted to be the lurking places Of
the Mahatma, and alleges that he did
there diligently and with openness to
conviction, pursue a search for such
Mahatma and was unable to fin
hide, hair or hint of him, it
seems to rest with the theosophical
ing into the light. While they are
about it they might have him give
some information of practical use.
The great weakness of all the dreamy,
esoteric teachings is that they have
added nothing to the fund OF the
worlds knowledge, nor has the misty
Mahatma ever condescended to make
communica tion more definite or
valuable than the misty fabric of
those imaginings that accompany un-
easy Slumber after Watermelon day.

HAPPY AFRICA /!

There are merry and prosperous

the possible development of that
unhappy region. The point of the
speculation was this: Can English.

the world. or can they not? II they
can, Of course the proper thing would
be to exterminate the native" and
"collar" their country. If they can
not, there seems nothing to do but to
"civilize" the natives, make them
work, and collar" the proceeds Of
their industry.
They were getting on very we'll will

The mode OF procedure is as follows:

the ''developer." with the rum bottle

izer," with the shoddy cotton, the
glass beads, and the lecture on the ad-
vantages Of industry: then comes the
''exploiter," with the steam plow, and
the heavy horse e-Whip; and then the
''native" gets his nose on the grind

of canal boats are unable to obtain

is directly chargeable to hostile rail

Whereas, The original charters

ATTACK ON PRESIDENT CLEvE-

Raleigh, n. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Marion Butler, in his speech at Con-
cord made one of the severest attacks
on President Cleveland ever heard in
North Carolina. He said:
''The man who puts party above
principle is the best tool the gold
bugs have, and the devil never had a
better servant than the goldbug
Every bond this government owes
England or any other country or in
dividual is payable in gold or silver, at
the option of the govern ment, and it
says so on the face Of the bond. Yet
Cleveland is going to England to get
gold when he can pay bonds in silver
because he is hireling OF the gold
bugs. l charge it here and I'll charge
it on the floor of the United States
Senate, if he sends down his army
after me for saying it. Ii you had an
honest man for president, he could
make times easier in ten days by call
ing Congress together to furnis relief.
1t is not enough to send honest men
to Congress. We will never see better
times until we drive traitors out Of

The Philadelphia Ledger under the
prudent management Of Mr.. Childs,
was noted for its temperate discussion
of public affairs. and it's carefulness to
avoid the imputation of unworthy
motives to those from whom it differ
ed. But the restraining hand is re-
moved and the once-honored journal
now freely INDUCES in Billingsgate
against the opponents of gold-mono-
metallism. For instance, it reports
that "a leading Populist politician of
Kansas has been arrested on a charge
Of burglary" and goes on to say sit
seems very short and easy step from
SO cent dollar to burglary" and
what more likely than this Kansas
Populist, if guilty, entered upon his
career of crime by permitting his
moral nature to be first demoralized
by the efforts Of the free silverites Of
his section to foist debased, dishon-
est currency upon the country" This is
surely the very heighth Of midsummer
madness in our once Staid and tenn
peraGe contemporary. Can sucn IAN

Populist, but meant for sober intelli-
gent bimetalliSts Of all sections of the

action, worthy Of the reprobation Of

harsh language of our intemper-

suitable yard for Chestnut street sehool as
soon as practicable. The teachers OF the
school are greatly interested III This. mat
ter.aud have personally visited many clti-

They have also called upon number of
members of 1he City Council and have ex-
plained the need of a yard in connection
with this school.

day from one side of the school house. Dur
ing tile winter months the lower corridors

pick out their hats and outside clothing

which might even more deirsct from The
comfort of the school children than AT pres
emit. Some time in the future tie lard will
become more valuable than it is now and il
may also be needed by the city for other
purposes. Hence it is thought reasonable
TO ask he city council to buy the property
this year.
It must be bought this year. for the own
ers want TO sell it now. NxeJ year it may be
held by other owners, who will not care to
dispose of il.
The school now has 70 yard which de-
serves the name, and nearly four hundred
children are obliged to occupy tie street
for a play ground, principally morning and
afternoon before school time. Heavy teams
are constantly passing and there is danger
that some child viii be run over unless
some impro, eaent can be made

today. and it win probably be presented
