the gold standard and substitute bi
metallism. If the gold standard is :
good thing, why get rid OF it?
"These very people, four months

that we could not legislate two metal:

want to suggest this truth: That j
the gold standard is a good thing, We
ought to declare in favor OF its reten

if the gold standard is bad thing
why should we wait until some other
nations are willing TO help us to let il
go?
"Here is the line of battle, and We
care not upon which issue they force
the fight. We are prepared to meet
them on either issue, or on both. II
they tell us the gold standard is the
standard OF civilization, we reply to
them that the most enlightened Of all
nations OF the earth have never de-
clared for the gold standard, and
both parties this year are declaring
against it. If the gold standard is the
standard of civilization, why, my
friends, should we not have it? More
than that, we can tell them this: That
they will search the pages of history
in vain to find single instance in
which the common people of any
land have ever declared themselves in
favor OF the gold standard. Mr.. Car
Isle said in 1878 that the struggle
was between the holders OF idle capital
and the struggling masses who pro-
duce wealth and pay the taxes of the
country. My friends. it is simply this
question that we shall decide--upon
which side shall the Democratic
party fight, the side OF the idle holders
of idle capital, or upon the side of the
struggling masses2 That is the ques-
tiOn that the party must answer first
and then it must be answered by each
individual hereafter.

Our ancestors, when they had 3,000.-
600. had the courage to declare their
independence OF every other nation on
earth. Shall we, their descendants
when we have 100000 declare that
we are less independent than our FORE
fathers? No, my friends, it will never
he the judgment OF the people. There
fore, we care not upon what lines the
battle is fought. If they say bimetal-
lism is good, but we cannot have it
till some nation helps us, we reply that
instead of having the gold standard
because England has it, we shall re-
store bimetallism and then let Eng
land have bimetallism, because the
United States has it. Ii they dare to
come out into the open and defend
the gold standard as a good thing, We
shall fight them to the utmost.
Having behind us the commercial
interests, the laboring interests, and
all the toiling masses, we shall answer
their demands for the gold standard
by saying to them: You shall not
press down upon the brow of labor

Commercial Litigatio

For your Protection -Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. 'Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

In writing a mans full name do not
prefix it with Mr.. Every man is a
Mister; consequently the title signifies
nothing, says the Northwest Magazine.
AS handle in conversation it is con-
venient, but in writing it is super
fuous. 1t saves time in writing and
money in typesetting to leave out all
supertluities. Drop the title Esquire
altogether. 1t has no significance in
these modern, common sense times.
Formerly it was applied to England to
land owners, lawyers and others OF the
gentry class, to distinguish them from
the common people. In this country
lawyers and justices OF the peace used
to claim it as right, and it was
thought to be quite complimentary,
when you were writing to a person of
some consequence, to address him as
John Smith, Esq. instead OF Mr.. John
Smith. Nobody cares rap for it now.
The title Honorable is very much
overworked. 1t is pure courtesy in
any case and was formerly limited to
members of Congress, State Cover
nors, and few high officials. Now
every man who has ever served in a
State Legislature or on a county
board is given this title by the local
newspapers. If the fondness of but
tons and official titles continues to
grow among us we may come before
long to the German custom of giving
to every man and his wife the full
designation of the position he holds,
in introductions to other people and
on the addresses of letters. Then il
will be Mr.. City Councilman Jones,
Mrs. Justice Of the Peace johnson,
Mr.. President of the Chamber Of Com
merce Thompson. and Mrs. Chief oil
Police Smith. That custom has at
least the merit of accurate designa-
ton, whereas Honorable means any
thing or nothing.

"VAR1oUE" is new card game, that
has become popular in England, pri-
marily because it has become favor
lite with His Royal Highness. 1t is
played with special cards of different
color for each suit, rejecting "face"
cards, and the game possesses more OF
the characteristic of dominoes than
anything else. The colors and spots
control the play which consists in
placing the cards in line with the five
rows of four cards each with which
the play begins. 1t is said that the
game calls for much gravity of de-
meanor, and in this respect resembles

THE OWNERSHIP OF GRAY GABLES
Mr.. Cleveland Has the Privilege of
Paying the Taxes.

EhSlnE the IANes.
Buzzard's Bay Letter to the PhiIadel-
phia Press.
President Cleveland rides in Mrs. Cleve-
lands carriage here at Gray Gables. His
coachman is not his at all, but his better
halfs. From the handsome pair of bays.
the carriage, the coachman, down to the
very harness, the entire outfit is hers. 1t
is said here that her ownership does not
stop at the contents of the stable, but the
entire estate is hers as well; but, if this is
true, there is one thing in which the man
of the house is permitted to assert his
supremacy. The President pays the taxes.
The assessors of the town of Bourne have
not recognized his wife as a source of
financial relief to the town treasury. The
President is good enough for them He
accepts the DEGREES of values of the Mon
ument Neck estate and settles with the
tax collector without a murmur each
year
Mrs. Cleveland's horses are carriage
horses this time. In seasons past she
fell into the common error that heavy
draught horses were indispensable on Cape
Cod for pulling even light carriage on
the heavy sandy roads. But experience
has taught both Mrs. Cleveland and the
President that mere weight in driving
horses does not count for much here. One
might just as well have such a stylish
pair as she has brought here this season
as to insist upon anything approaching
truck horses that are out of proportion
with the remainder of the turn-outs. Good
wind, grit and short legs for hill climbing
count more than size and sheer strength
of sinew in horsehesh. The native horse
runs below the medlum-sized stature of
country horses in New England They are
tough, wiry beasts. and seem 10 have
that touch suggestive of webfoot edness
which permits their hoofs to pound along

drove last summer. They are by no means
small, but in good proportion to the two

from the PnlldQelpnia Press.
The good people of Seabrook. N. H., are
much interested in a mystery connected
with their village graveyard. One of the
best-known citizens of the village for many
years was Jonathan Walters. Rich and in
fiuentlal he was turned to in life for adj
vice and help in all matters of not only
public but private concern. When he died
he was followed to the grave by sorrow
ing hundreds and his resting place in the
cemetery has been ever since one of the
spots best known and most generally Wis
tied. Mr.. Walters was married twice His
first wife died some years ago. She too
was immensely popular in the village. and
her death was genuinely incurred. Some
time after her death Mr.. Walters took to
himself a second wife and died a little la
ter, in 1894.
The second wife erected a plain stone Of
white marble over the grass, simply mark
ed with his name and date OF birth and
death. Nothing strange was noted about
the stone at the time, nor indeed, for some
months afteTward. 1t looked like the rest
Of the somber signs Of deaths ravages
On Memorial day Mrs. William Eaton.
a resident of Seabrooke, was looking at
the Walters headstone, when suddenly she
discovered the picture of a woman engrav-
ed on the stone She examined IL in amaze
ment and called others, who corroborated
her story. Those who had known the first
Mrs. Walters declared II was a good pic
ture of her. Those who claim to have seen
the face describe I as perfect in lines, the
eyes, nose mouth, and ears, and even the
brows appearing plainly. The hair is also
said to be very distinct. falling loosely on
the womans shoulders The man who
carved the stone declares there is nothing
cut in It but the lettering and the surface
Of the marble Is apparently untouched. 1t
Is only at a distance of a few feet that the
image can be seen. More than a thousand
