HIS M'KINLEY TROUSERS.
Recognition from the Ohioan Gave
Dignity to This Boy.


Cincinnati, June 4-When Governor
Mckinley was inaugurated the first
time Master Clarence Hills a 13-year
old boy, was vigorous youngster, who
was sufficiently conversant with Col
umbus to take care of himself, and on
the day of the Inauguration he was on
the street taking in with eager, youth
ful eyes everything of interest.
He had seen Governor Mckinley sew
era4 times, and had become an ardent
admirer of the statesman, and when
Governor Mckinley delivered his inau-
gural address young Hills decided
that he would witness the exercises
and be near enough to the speaker
stand to hear what was said
This was a project of considerable
proportions for e tender youth, when a
crowd of anxious adults surged and
pressed each other close to get a view
of the speaker and hear his words
Master Clarence succeeded in elm bling
q lamppOst near the stand and hung on
through the entire time Mckinley was
speaking, but several times attracted
the speakers attention to such an ex-
tent as to almost make him desist by
demonstration of enthusiasm which
almost made him lose his hold.
Whenever something was said which
would be productive of applause young
Hills would hang on to the post with
his legs and wave his hands vigorously
and make as much noise as was pos
sible- Governor Mckinley ascertained
who his youthful admirer was and ever
after recognized him on the street with
the salutation: How are you, Master
Clarence Hllis2' He felt greatly hon
ored by the governors attention. as did
his family.
Young Hills has long been pleading
with his parents to be allowed to wear
long trousers. but they had not granted
the request. On the Sunday before
Governor Bushnell was nominated Gov
ernOr Mckinley and his staff were en-
route to church. alnd on High street the
governor eSpied his young friend Hills
He lifted his hat and his staff did like
wise. The salutation was returned and
Master Clarence few like the wind to
his parents, who were on the other side
of the street and declared that boy
who could be saluted by a governor and
his staff was entitled to long trousers.
1t is needless to say that he had them

FREQ Silver Would Create u Money Famine

The Denver Republican echoes q COM
mon assertion of all the free silver ad-
vocates when it says:
1.-THE reopening Of our minis to the
FREQ coinage Of both metals at the ratio
Of 10 to would do great deal to right
tho wrong Of decentralization. 1t would
put an end to the existing money famine
which is forcing lower prices every day. y
Now, first, there is no existing mon
ey famine" We have in use the enor-

capita circulation is $24.34, against
Great Britain's SlS.42, Germany's
1854 and Austria-Hungary's 50. 10.
To talk of an existing money famine"
In this country is simply to talk non
sense and falsehood.
Secondly, neither money famine nor
anything else is forcing lower prices
every day" On the contrary, prices are
rising. About year ago cotton was at
cents. It is now worth 8 18. Wheat,
which was at 80 cents bushel, is now
at 70; silver bullion, which sank awhile
ago to 55 cents, is now worth SO and
more. These are samples. 1t is simply
not true that anything lis forcing lower
prices every day"
Finally, free coinage 80 far from cur
ing an alleged "money famine" would
create one. 1t would drive instantly out
of circulation all the gold and all the
gold bearing paper extant, and these.
according to official statistics, amount to
$1,O77, OO0,O 900, or about one-half the
total currency Of the country.
There can be no question about the
facts in this case. They are supported
by the official records and by universal
human experience. Free coinage, urged
Oh the plea of more money, would in
fact and with certainty reduce the value
Of money by one-half and produce a

the bond and upon her inquiry as to the
depth of their friendship describes Antonio
as
1.-THE dearest friend to me, the kindest man,
The best conditioned and unwearied spirit.
In doing courtesies, and one in whom
The ancient Roman honor more appears,
Than any that draws breath in Italy,"
And we do not wonder at this loving tribute
for what maiden eyer had more devoted
lover or one who in 80 few words disclosed
such depth OF affection rs breathes from
every word of Antonio's letter. No wonder
that Portals woman's heart was touched
and moved to high endeavor.
At the beginning Of the trial Antonio
humbles his naughty spirit sufficient to at
tempt an explanation but as Shylock still
maintains his bitter spirit of revenge Antonio
soon meets his demands with bis usual spirit
of firm, fearless, intrepid manhood which Is
one OF his most charming characteristics.
The Duke seemed quite surprised to see
Antonio at the court and expressed sympathy
for him because of the "inhuman wretch"
who was impatiently waiting to take his life.
Antonio, almost face to face with grim death
but never forgetful of those small courtesies
which sweeten life and show true nobleness
of character, thanks the Duke for his kindly
interest and the famous trial goes on-Shy-
lock, bitter, vindlctive, revengeful-Antonlo
calm, resigned, and ready to meet what SEEM
ed inevitable only once referred to the fulfil
ity of reasoning with Jew, and can we
wonder at such an outburst OF disdain when
Antonio had been witness to the cold cruelty
of Shylock whctting his knife earnestly ito
cut the forfeiture from that bankrupt there"
And now we bow with wonder at the
magnanimity of spirit that never with look
or word reproached Bassanio, but with hand
clasped in hand could say, "grieve not that
am fallen to this for you"
But at the close of the trial this man who
has already exhibited 80 many desirable
traits of character, and from reports is pen
niless, refuses to accept one. half of Shylock' 8
wealth for himself but requests that he give
1t to his son and daughter Lorenza and .es-
sica at his death. This ability to return
sweet mercy for bitter hatred shows that
Antonio possessed the GROWING virtue of
life, the noble christian trait of doing unto
| others as he would be done by.
In delineatRg the character of Antonio

of model man-gentle, cultured, decisive,
