Ever since it has been reported
that Mayor Sears had severed his
connection with the Populist party

series of malignant and malicious

A concise answer as to what is
meant by the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to
| is thus made by a Philadelphia
paper:
1T means that sixteen ounces o~fsilver should
be held for d~ebt-paying purposes to be worth
as much as one ounce of gold. One ounce OF
standard gold will coin in silver dollars $3.50.
Sixteen ounces of standard silver will coin
$3.50 in silver dollars. These sixteen ounces
of silver can be bought in the markets OF the
werld today for 1921. There would, therefore,
be a profit of $3.50 on an investment OF 1924,
being about 81 per cent. il holde of silver
could take it to the mint and coin it without
charge into silver dollars. The advocates of
free coinage favor a law that will allow any
holder OF silver bullion-or. in fact, silver of
any kind-the right to take the same to any
mint of the United States and convert it into
silver coin free of charge, and force SO cents
worth OF it upon his neighbors as a dollar.

We call especial attention to the
mastery treatise, by L. W. Tay-
Tor, in this issue, of the predomin-
ating issues of the day-the cur
rency aud tariff questions. Handled
in a calm, dispassionate manner, it
is a series of strong facts, not
theories, that cannot be pushed
aside by the mere assertion of "cam-

Wick In Making Change.

A curious incident occurred III Paris
restaurant the othor day. A high official,
happening to be in the Montmartre dis
triCt about dinner time, walked into a
restaurant froQuented much by foreign
ers, and took his dinner there, his bill
amounting to s francs. When calling
the waiter to pay for his meal, he hand
cd him 90 franc Eoldpioce, which the
waiter put into his mouth, as is the GUS
tom of the Paris walters. Making
change, he only Gayo him 2 francs. The
gentleman looked up and said: "Beg
your pardon, [ want IL francs and not
2 francs" "Eycuso me, sir" said the
waiter. "Yon gave mea 10 franc piece.
Sect" And herewith he took from be-
tween his lips a smaller gold coin,
showing it to the gentleman. The Off
cial, considerably wrought up for being
taken for fool, without any warning
gave the waiter such Il slap i'll the face
that the 20 frame piece given him fell
ont Of his mouth and rolled across tho
room. The gentleman got his change,
and purposCly forgot to tip the waiter,
who had received quito setback by the
'''stribins" argument of the guest.

i'll the servants hall that she should
some timo see the young duchess in her
own home. She was therefore posted
ono day in distant corner of the hall,
from which she looked out in obvious
discomfort as tho lady and her guests
fled in to dinner. When the dining
room door had closed behind them, she
was asked what she thought of tho
duchess.
"The duchess" she repeated in tho

Tho Surprise Which Struck an English Pu-

He was Observation-Disclosures least he
said he could fight at 1873 pounds, al
though he looked as heavy and clumsy
rs a Sussex pig. He hadn't been over
the water very long, and his his were
omitted and inserted on system that
left no doubt of his origin and ancestry.
The fighting game wasn't very good
in Chicago when he arrived, and he had
to cool his heels in idleness until his
eyes had keen, inquiring look and
some of the surplus beef began to disap-
pear from around his waist band.
One night he managed to hypnotize a
saloon keeper who frequently brings off
little affairs of the kind the English
man wanted, and the boniface agreed to
"get him 60" 1t seemed quito long
time to the Briton, but a match was
finally arranged. He and French Cana

to bring him glory and a settlement of
his board bill At last the fateful even
ing came, and the man from across the
sea hied him to the saloon where in a
big back room the mill was to be de-
cidcd.
He stood up in the center Of the ring
and bowed gracefully as Il seasick ele-
plant. The master of ceremonies bel
lowed, "Mr. Bill Lambkin of Birming-
ham, England" and then, "Mr. Henri
Pijctte of Montreal" Somebody hit
gong, and the carnival was under way.
The Englishman swung his right

duck, a swirling fist flying upward. Tho
man from birmingham sprang straight
up into the air as if lifted by dyna-

very quiet on the padded floor.
