Tho Birds Bill Was Locked.

A curious bird tragedy is told
about in the London Field. A man
found q yellow hammer dead in his
yard at tho foot of a wall. The bird
had flown against it with such force
as to be stunned. Not only that, but
the upper mandible had been bent
back, and in the Strengthening out
the sharp point was driven down
through tho lower bill and locked,
thus booming tho bird to death by
starvation. The man sent the head
to The Field.
A good many similar accidents
have been recorded, but it was al
ways a heavier bird, whose weight
made the springing OF the bill easier.
A good many of the birds were
found in a starved condition, show
ing that they died lingering deaths
from want of food. Birds that fly
against the lighthouses have the
skull bones crushed and die instant
ly, but others are stunned only.

Would Thrive on Temporary Defeat.

Some of the silver men do not agree
that if the silver cause does not win in
the approaching election the question
will be finally settled. AT least Senator
Bacon says that defeat for silver does
not mean the end Of the struggle.
"The people who are for silver" he
said yesterday, "are actuatcd by the
same spirit which filled the souls Of the
antislavery agitators. The defeat of
John G.. Fremont in 1856 did not mean
the death of the a~ntislavcry movement,
and the defeat of a silver candidate i'll
1896 will not indicate that the fight is
over. On the contrary. it is my belief
that if we should have four more years
of the single gold standard the silver
cause would come to the front i'll 1900
with even more strength than it has
now. "-Washington Letter.

PLAIN TALK.
Indiana's Historian Roundly D~enounces the
Greatest Falsehood of the Age.

Greatest Falsehood of the Age.
The following was written by the
eminent historian John Clark Ridpath
i'll response to an inquiry by Frank Ho-
ran, chairman of the Democratic central
committee of the Fifth Indiana district,
as to whether MI. Ridpath would run
for congress on a Democratic ticket.
He had always been a Republican:
"There is just II great question be-
fore the American people, and that Is
whether they will be compelled by the
international gold conspiracy, having
its b~ifurcations in London and New
York, to transact their business AID in
particular to pay their debts with q COR
nered dollar worth two for one, fraud
ulently substituted for the dollar of the
law and the contract, or whether they
(the people, will reclaim their right
to transact their business and pay their
debts according to the terms Of the COL
tract and according to justice.
at is said by the emissaries Of the
gold propaganda that they who advo-
cate the restoration of our coinage and
money to the exact condition which it
held prior to the act of 1873 are dishon-
est; that they wish to COIN 80 cents
worth of silver into q dollar and COM
pei creditors to accept that in lieu of an
honest dollar. Than this there never
was a greater sophism and falsehood.
What the people desire and what they
intend to do is to coin 100 cents worth
of silvcr-that is, a dollars worth, or
Biz grains, of silvcr-intO q dollar,
and by that act to break the corner on
gold and reduce the exaggerated pur-
chasing power of that metal to its nor
NAL standard.
"If any man dare say that 371L
grains of pure silver are not IA dollars
worth, let him be challenged with the
question whether that amount of I'M
coined silver will not purchase as much
of the average of % Of the great staples
of the American market, including real
estate and labor, as the same silver
would purchase 25 years & Let him
answer that truly Or forever afterward
hold his peace. AS a matter of fact the
uncoined silver i'll the American dollar
will buy more of the average of our
great staples than the same would buy
in 1875.
"What then? The limited supply of
gold III the world has been cOrnered by
those who WI it. They are few-very
few-and the people are millions. The
price of the cornered gold has advanced
more and more, until it has become
worth almost two for one. All the while
coined gold has concealed the fallacy
that is i'll it. The gold eagle still pro-
claims itself $40, although it has adj
vanced in purchasing power until it is
nearly $50. Under this obscure and
fraudulent process all productive indus
tries have been crushed to the earth.
They who labor in the fields and shops
have been virtually ruined.
"The claim that gold coin is the
sound money the honest money, of
the world, and that silver money-real,
primary silver money, of our old statu-
tory ratio-is dishonest and unsound
money is the most false, as it is the
most adroit, proposition ever put forth
by interested parties to defraud the pco-
pie of "a great nation"

Old Wartime Vehicles.

OF the means of locomotiOn in
Maine in pioneer days q Kennebeo
gentleman says: "Before the Revo-
luton there was not Il four wheeled
vehicle in Maine. In 1862 two wheel
ed vehicles were first seon in Port
land, but they wore used only ON
gala days. They excited about as
much wonder as flying machines
would now. Augusta had its first
four wheeled vehicle in 1900. Peo-
pie travelled on foot or on horseback
in summer and used rude sleds in
winter. Women had sidesaddles OF
billions for seats, being the mems
saddles, and no considerable Journey
was made by them except in that
way. Horse blocks for mounting
and dismountlng were a necessity
and were found at nearly every
mans door. Grain was carried to
mill on the farmers back Or the
horses back, and it was a common
thing to @ a small boy perchcd
atop Of several bags of grain on the
back of the family horse going to
mill All not crippled were great
pedestrians, and women thought as
little of walking miles then as they
do of furlongs now. "-Lewiston

Hill and the Gnldhura.

1t is said that the Democratic gold
bugs are anxious to have Senator Hill
take charge Of their forces at Chicago.
We wonder where their forces are. It
will take a mar of Hills acute vision
to discover them. But Hill has probably
not forgotten how the goldbugs knitted
him when Il candidate for governor in
1898. Although he had declared himself
in favor of free silver, a gold platform
was thrust under him and in addition
the Democratic gold men voted the Re-
publican ticket. Now he is expected to
lead the fight for gold. There seems to
have been a queer change all around -

"ITAlIAtl SPOKEN HERE"
New York Retail Stores Do Not Seem to
Seek Italian Patronage.

Seek Italian Patronage.
In those parts of town in which
the foreign born population is lar
gest signs in windows indicating the
presence indoors of statesmen or
saleswomen with linguistic accom-
plishlnents are not rare in retail
stores, and this is especially the case
along tho chief thoroughfares of the
east or west sides of town. In the
east side the sign "Deutsch hier &C.
sprechen" is frequent. Likewise on
the west side of town two signs are
familiar, "Ici on parle Francois" and
"Aqni SO habla Espanol, for Span
iards, Mexicans, Cubans and South
Americans. But, though the italian
population of New York is very
much larger than either the French
speaking or the Spanish speaking
colony, signs announcing that Ital-
ian is spoken within are rare The
reason for this is to be found proba-
bly, in the fact that Italians are
much more clannish than other ma
tionalities in New York. They buy
by preference from their own peo-
pic. They trade with their own
compatriots, and as American retail
dealers derive little benefit from the
patronage of Italian purchasers they
do not find it expedient to secure,
even in tho larger stores, statesmen
familiar with the italian tongue.
Moreover, Italian is a language
spoken practically by Italians only.
1t is nowhere q substitute for anv
other language, whereas German is
very generally spoken by those COM
ing from Russia and Austria, as we'll
as Germany, while French is the
language of many of the Swiss and
nearly all of the Belgians in town.
Still another reason to account for
it is this: The Italian emigrants who
como to Now York are for the most
part very poor and are until q few
years after their arrival at least un-
able to give any profitable patronage
to tho larger stores. If fortune fa-
vors them and they acquire means,
they have learned English in tho
meanwhile, and the aid of Italian
speaking statesmen is not required.
Many wealthy and well to do Ital-
ians also speak French as we'll as
their language. Italians are,
furthermore, singularly adept at ac-
curing English. After a brief resi-
dence in town the most unlettered
and untutored Italian will have at
least a slnattering of colloquial Eng
lish and be able to make himself un-
derstood. The same is true Of tho
Russian Jews who come to the Unit
ed States and after a brief residence
arc able to converse volubly in Eng
lish, or, at least, what serves as
English.
The importance of the Italian col
ony in New York is at present one
Of numbers rather than of influence,
out it will probably not be many
years until tho aptitude of the Ital-
ians for American ways, as well as
for the English language, will make
itself felt.-New York Sun.

A Surprise For Them.

The advance of the silver movement
is the advance of thought. 1t is release
from the thraldom of those who, being
spectators i'll money and bonds, have
wanted the circulating medium scarce,
and have assumed to be the only com
petent teachers in finance. 1t is rebel
lion against those who insist that paper
currency shall be redeemablc in coin,
and the scarce coin only, so hat the
syndicates and brokers can play hide
and seek with the United States treas
ury.
There has been q cultivation of the
idea that the money question is alb
strusc; that it is hard to comprehend
that the everyday citizen is wasting his
time when he tries to master it, and
that he must simply depend OF the Sher-
mans, the Pierpont Morgans, the Cleve-
lands, etc, for instruction and guild
ance. The result has not been satisfac-
tory, and people have taken up the qucs-
ton themselves. They have found the
subject easy. They have been surprised
at the facility with which they comprc-
bend the subject, and the goldbugs of
the east would be surprised at the
knowledge prevailing among the farm
ers of this agricultural state if they
would come out and minglc with the
men who follow the plow and WELD the
hammer, but perhaps the movement
has not yet gone far enough to convince
the New York financicrs that there is
any such region as Ohio or the west.
They will soon learn, however. Gin.
