FATE OF THE "GOLD.BUGS."
Their Treatment by the Silverites De-
scribed by Boy.

There is some excitement in politica
circles, isn't there, Johnnie?" remarked
old Mrs. Chaffie.
well, yes; a few in Chicago"
'That's called the Windy City, ism
it, Johnnie?"
"Yes, grandma; it's called the Wind,
City because conventions are helt
there"
1T is a big town, isn't it, Johnnie"
'Yes, and they are always braggins
about their increased population, bu
1 don't think they boasted much abou
their increased population while tht
Democratic convention was in session
Those delegates were a hard boilet
crowd"
What did they do?"
What did they do? They did the
Eastern gold Democrats. Want to heal
about it, grandma?'
Yes, Johnnie, I'd like to very much.
In the next column to the news abou
the convention was an account of a hor'
rible dynamite outrage by Hungarian
miners in Pennsylvania, so Johnnie
mixed them up little by reading:
There was a terrific explosion
Planks flew in every direction. Some
of the gold Democrats were blown ou
of sight, while fragments of others
who We're not so fortunate, festooneC

Their agonizing shrieks and disma

ured beyond recognition by the chair
only survived a few minutes. His las
words were, i am a Democrat. Tht
names Of the dynamiters are known
and no efforts will be spared"
stop, Johnnie! I can't bear to hear
such dreadful tidings. Read something
else"
"Al right, grandma l will read you
something about social life in New
York, but TIL tell you candidly these
New York Society people make me
sick" said Johnnie, who was looking
over New York paper
What have they been doing now
Johnnie?" asked old Mrs. Chaffie.
THE same old story. Mr.. Vanastor-
blk has brought suit against his wife
for divorce
Are there any children?"
Il think, from the way it reads. there
must be young baby"
That's sad; but, perhaps, Johnnie, he
has good grounds for divorce"
"If she made the coffee, and it was
like the coffee we had for breakfast
this morning, perhaps he had good
grounds-coffee grounds-for divorce
said Johnnie, chuckling
That's no ground for divorce; be-
sides those rich New York society WON
er never go into the kitchen. Maybe she
had ceased to love him."

A VERY POOR EXCHANGE.
The Angel ESummer Girl Replaced b,
the Summer Man.

| Sirius Baker had sat in silence for
more than half an hour on his front
stoop watching the bicycles as they
| flashed past. He seemed even more
displeased with the human race than
usual. His wife did not try to talk to
him. She knew he was angry about
| something and did not like to interrupt
| him when he was having a good time
He broke the silence himself, relates
the Detroit Free Press"
Ugh" he said, with a shudder and
a shiver.
What's the matter, Sirius? Does
| anything hurt you?"
Yes, ma am,' he answered Some
thing does hurt me. 1t is not a mere
| trit1ing physical pain, either I am
envious of the past, shocked at the
present and apprehensive of the fu-
ture."
Goodness gracious, it isn't so bad as
that, is it?'
Its worse. For several years I have
| been asking myself whittier we are
| drifting and then giving the conun-
| drum up because I quailed before the
| awful truth that the answer involved.
| But there is no use in trying to conceal
| it any longer. We are plunging over
the Niagara Falls of iconoclasm into
| the whirlpool of social chaos. That's

glad she didn't have wings to fly away
with. She was a delight to the poets

WELL" said his wife, In philosophi-
cal tone, there is never a loss without
some gain. She will be replaced. in
some way"
That's the worst of it. She has been
| replaced, and how? What have we
now in her stead? The summer man.
What is he? He's freak; that's what
he is. He wears white sweater with
red trimming around the collar and
bangs his hair. He puts on dove -colored

more pride in his lower limbs than the

WHERE is THE CONSPIRACY?
Pasadena Star: Is there a "conspir-
acy'' to drive silver out of use as money!
This is a question which every voter
VIII want to determine for himself, Tor
1t tests the honesty of the assertions
daily and hourly made by the Popuilst-
Democrats that silver is the victim or
terrible conspiracy, and that the sue
cess of this conspiracy has produced the
present unsatisfactory business condl-
tions.
To answer these questions you must
first find out what has really happened
to silver in the last twenty-five years
Prior to 1873 there was free and un-
limited coinage of gold and silver at
our mints. AS the Government merely
manufactured the coins for the owners
of the bullion, it did not feel itself
bound to maintain their parity, and
the parity was not maintained. SO the
class of coins containing the more value
in metals always disappeared
When the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver was suspended and the
Government began buying silver and
making the coins and passing them out
itself as a dollar, whether they con-
tanned dollars worth of metal or not,
1t then became responsible for them,
and both the silver and the gold money
remained in circulation in this country
for the first time in it's history.
Prior to that time the only silver
money coined by the United States
which remained in circulation in this
country was the subsidiary coins, and
they remained because they contained
less silver than their nominal value.
Other nations had similar trouble
While they attempted to maintain free
and unlimited coinage of the two met
ais. So, gradually, they changed their
methods, and took to buying silver and
coming it on Government account, just
as the United States now does. They
have not ceased using silver as money
or adding to their stock of it. On the
contrary, the silver money OF the world
has more than doubled since 1873.
If, however, the nations of the world
agree upon an international bimetallic
system at just ratio, the difficulties
OF maintaining the concurrent use Of
the two metals would be greatly dimin-
iShed.

We hope the country has seen the last
of those decisions by State Supreme
courts in criminal cases in which rever.
sails and new trials are granted because
of undotted ''i's" or uncrossed cts" in
indictments, or trifling errors in trials.
The Illinois Supreme Court, in the an.
archist cases, admitted that many errors
had been committed by the trial court,
but that not one of them was prejudicial
to the defendants, and it therefore affirm.
ed the judgment of the lower court.
And now the Supreme courts of Penn.
sylvania, in passing upon the case ofthe
notorious murderer Holmes, is content
to say that no substantial error has been
committed. This is good sense, and ii
ought to be good law. No new trial
should be granted unless the accused
has been deprived of Justice during his
trial in the lower court.-Bellsontaine
