Exclamation.

The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
et station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath it, if any, the amount OF
rainfall, Of melted snow in inches and hundredths
during the past twelve hours Isobars, or solid
lines, connect poin of equal air pressure; iso-
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word high" means high berometric pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather: 'low''
refers to low pressure, and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows usually first appear on the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast, and the isobars extend
north and south along the coast rain is probable;
but when the 'lOw'' Is inclosed with sobars OF
marked curvature, rain south OF Oregon is improb-
able. With high" in the vicinity OF IDAHO and
the pressure falling to the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather In winter. The reverse Of these conditions
@u produce opposite result

American Dollar. in m.x,co.

A man may get "a meal. and when he
puts down an American dollar in pay
ment viii get back as change Mexican
dollar which contains six grains more
silver than our own. He gets demon
stration of the fact that it is the credit
of our government which keeps the sill
yer dollar atioat at AZ cents more than
its intrinsic value, just as it keeps it's
paper notes, which have no intrinsic
value at all, at an equality with gold
dollar. Free, unlimited and independ-
ent coinage at sixteen to one" would
mean dollars worth even less than Mex
lean silver dollars.

Plenty of Bimetallism Now.

We have bimetallism in the United
States in every sense of the term. If the
gold man wants gold, he can get it. If
the silver man wants silver at sixteen
ito one. he can get it. Based on these two
metals and redeemable in them, or like
them, in the products of the world (the
final redeemer of all moneys) we have
the greenback, the treasury note and
the national bank note, so that if the cit
izen prefers paper to either gold or sill
yer, it is within his reach.

The Com mon People.

AT this crisis the claim is made that
Bryan resembles Lincoln in his faith in
the common people" This is line of
comparison that Bryan's friends have
made mistake in suggesting. Lincoln
realized that in the long run the mass
of the people are honest in their incli-
nations and are not to be misled for any
great length of time. The common
people know an honest dollar from a
fraudulent dollar. They know the diff
ference between craftsmanship and
will-o'-the-wispism. They cannot be
permanently blinded by dazzling cpl
grams of the picturesque attractions of
youth and eloquence. Common sense is
the inalienable heritage of the common
people,. L. McConihee.
