A Few Items That May Be of
Interest to Those Who
Ride Wheels.

When brain and body are tired,
And the need of rest feel;
As the witches mounted their broomsticks,
mount my Heating wheel.
Ed Johnston and Geo. Drummond
wheeled to Wallaceburg, Ont, Satur-
day returning Monday evening.
julie Hennessy and Harry Paisley
wheeled to Port Huron Tuesday. julie
is entered for some of the events in the
bicycle meet there.
Arthur Coburn, of Memphis, has
been visiting his cousing, Leslie and
Stuart Menzies this week. He made
the trip on his wheel.
Mrs. j. G.. Holden and Mrs. j. A.
Menzies visited friends and acquaint-
ances at Memphis Wednesday and
Thursday making the trip on their
wheels.
The editor has been taking obser-
yations on the difference between a
lady and gentleman in mounting q
bicycle. He says the lady stops,
adjusts her skirts, puts one foot upon
a pedal, gives a little spring, settles
lightly upon the saddle and away she
goes. The man grasps the handle
bar, stretches out behind the machine,
puts one foot upon the step, hops
along like q lame ostrich, gives q
jump, lands "ker- PUNK" in the saddle,
kicks about to find the pedals and
then goes webbing along for rod or
so before he gets his center of gravity
located.

For Bliss.

As the tone of the State press is
strongly in favor Of the nomination
of Bliss for Governor, and the Re-
publicans of Occola county seem to
share in this sentiment, we have long
since felt that the pledges made two
years ago, at the Grand Rapids state
convention when Col. Bliss aroused
the convention to high state Of en-
thusiasm by his patriotic speech,
ought to be redeemed. Hence since
that convention the Cha rion has been
in favor of Aaron Il. Bliss for Cover
nor, and was one of the first papers
in the state to come out in his favor,
and we haye determined to support
him, believing that in so doing we
are yoicing the sentiments of ma
jority of the Republican voters of Os-
ceola County.-Reed City Clarion.
Two years ago there were three
candidates for Republican nomina-
ton for governor, Governor Rich.
Mayor Pingree and Col. A. L. Bliss.
The sentiment of Il large majority of
the Republicans was in favor of Gov
ernor Rich's denomination, and May
or Pingree and Col. Bliss met with
defeat. The later accepted the re-
suit Loyalty and gracefully, and was
among the first to extend congratu-
lations to Governor Rich, and true
to his Republican principles, he did
all in his power to help elect the Re-
publican state ticket. The friends
of Col. Bliss haye reason to be proud
of the methods used in his campaign
in 1894. No one eyer heard him
abuse his opponents, and he is not
doing it now. He is the logical can
didate this year and is entitled to
the hearty support of all Republicans
in his candidacy.-Saginaw Courier
Herald.
The present seems to be an inning
for Col. A. L. Bliss. His campaign,
strong from the beginning, seems to
be gaining in strength. Several
counties which were formerly sup
posed to be for other candidates have re-
Gently elected Bliss delegates, adding
very materially to the formidable char
acter of his forces Should the col
onel be nominated and elected to the
gubernatorial chair we believe no mis-
take would be made. We have seen
no argument against him worthy of
consideration, but have seen much for

WHAT FREE COINAGE 80 TO T.
MEANS.

We are assured that there are a
good many excellent people of all
parties-and of no party, perhaps-whO
have given no especial attention or
study to the subject of the free coin
age of silver, and who do not profess
to understand the reasons for or
against it, but who are unsettled and
confused by the conflicting claims of
the opponents and advocates of the
Chicago platform, adopted by the sill
yer faction of the Democratic party.
1t is suggested that for the benefit of
any such we should state the case
simply and as plainly as possible.
In the first place, then, what Is
meant by the "free coinage of silver
16 to 1?''
OF course, this has been stated many
times, and we have no hope of stating
more clearly than has been hereto
fore done.
1t means that if we had free coin
age, at that ratio, any person whatever,
citizen or alien, having possession of
any silver bullion, mined in any coun-
try in the world, might bring it to the
minis of The United States, and have
it made into silver dollars at the ex-
pense of the people Of the United
States, and the same dollars-or other
dollars of the same kind-returned to
him, at the rate of 371l grains of pure
silver, or 412} grains of allowed silver,
for each dollar. The dollar so given
back to the owner of the bullion
The Yale expositor., 1896-07-24

would be-according to the Chicago
piatform-a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private-that is,
owing by the government or by in
diyiduals-and every person or COR
poration in the United States would be
obliged to receive such silver dollars,
from the person or corporation for
whose benefit they are coined, and
from all others, in all payments at
their full face value. The same weight
of gold would make 16 gold dollars;
thar is, it would take 16 times as much
silver to make any given number of
dollars as it would of gold, to make
the same, so it is called coinage at
10 to l."
What are the principal objections to
this free coinage?'
The great objection is that the 81 I
grains of pure silver Tor 412i grains of
allowed silver are not worth as much
as the 1872 grains of pure gold, or 25.S
grains of alleged gold; but only just
about half as much. Uncoined gold
and uncoined silver are bought and
sold in the markets of the world like
any other commodities. The gold in
the gold dollar is worth Just as much
ullCOlllCNl as IL 10 SOlliCus SllNCl III
silver dollar is worth only one-half
as much before 1t is coined us it would
be after its free coinage; and for which
you and | would be compelled to re-
ceive it in payments.
The profit of the coinage-100 per
cent-under free coinage would go
into the private pocket OF the specu-
lators in silver bullion, for whom it is
freely coined, and at our expense.
Under the single standard coinage,
which has prevailed since 1878, the
government has bought the silver in
the open markets paid the market
price, as for anything else; coined it
into dollars on it's own account: and
put the profit or "seignlorage" into the
treasury of the United States, for the
benefit of all the people.
Under this system the government
has purchased about 100000, 900 Of
silver bullion; the bullion owners and
silver miners have received the full
value of their product; the people of
the United States have received II
vastly larger amount of silver money
than in all the previous history of the
government, which they may take
either in the actual or in silver certifi-
cates-and this great body of money
has been kept at par-that is at face
value-by the single gold standard
and the maintenance of the gold
reserve.
In this way the people get the en-
tire benefit, and the rich mine and
bullion owners get the regular price
for their products, just as the farmers,
or the miners of copper or iron get for
theirs.
1t is not necessary to say that no
poor men-only wealthy corporations
as Il rule-own silver bullion, or would
be protted 10y its free coinage. 1t is
the unlimited market and the 100 per
cent profit that the silver states are
fighting for.

The Curse
Of Mankiind!.

The most horrible disease to which
the human family is subject is conta-
gious blood poison. It has always
baff1ed the doctors, for Notwithstanding
the progress made in some branches Of
medicine, they have failed absolutely to
discover a cure fer it. Whether in the
form of powder, pill or liquid, the doc
tors prescription is always the same
potash or mercury.
Mr.. Otto H. Ebert, who resides at the
corner of 22d Street, and Avenue N,
Galveston, Texas, had severe expert
ence with this dreadful disease, and
under date Of April sth, 1896, writes:
"Several years ago was so unfortu-
nate as to contract contagious blood
poison, and was under treatment of the
best physicians continuously for four
years. AS soon as discovered that had

A JEWEsS BROKE THE ICE.
The First Woman In Germany to Ride on
Top Of an Omnibus.

The First Woman In Germany to Ride on
Top Of an Omnibus.
On my way from the Leipziger strasse
to the exhibition. while sitting on the
top Of tram car, a young lady of some
II summers, with fine, intelligent and
enthusiastically Jewish face, came on and
sat herself beside me. The maiden
blushed as maiden never blushed before,
and my curiosity was aroused to its
highest point when / noticed every per.
son on the car stare at her with smile Of
appreciation. Nay, more--on the route
people stopped and looked at her. Men
raised their hats and women waved
their hsndkerchiefs. Indeed children
looked through the windows and kept
their eyes fixed on the top of my tram
till they could see it no more What
could all this mean? That the young
Jewess at my side was "the woman of
the hour" person whom Berlin was
idolizing, some public benefactress to
whom the denizens of the capital were
giving evidence of their thorough'appre-
citation and heartfelt gratitude was
patent to all who had eyes to see.
What, then, was her heroic deed?
Why did every person on the car say
most cordially, ''Ich gratultere ihnen,
fraulein," when the lady was about to
descend? The solution of the mystery
was as singular as it was amusing. It
had by the vigorous laws and customs
of the Teutons been denied until the
morning in question to the fair sex to
ascend the steps of an omnibus or tram
Car throughout the length and breadth
of Germany.
Some of the "manly women" in Ber-
lin, gasping for franchise as we'll as for
fresh air in the summer months, de.
olared that they had tolerated long
enough the cruelty of being pent up in
tram car full Of their own sex while
the men were above enjoying the de-
lightful summer breeze. They sent dep
utations and petitioned the powers
that be to break once and forever a
law unworthy Of enlightened Germany.
Some of the newspapers volleyed and
thundered against such Innovations
"Oh, for the degeneracy Of the father.
land!" they sighed. But at length the
ladies had their way-as ladies always
willard the great privilege was re-
served for me to sit beside the young
Jewess whose name ought to be handed
down to posterity as probably the first
female in Germany who was bold
enough to ascend the steps Of tram
car.-London Telegraph.
