This month will be busy one for the
interstate commerce commission, as
that august and active body Of inves-

continuous session in Chicago, from
Sept. II to g. There are several mat

to probe to the bottom, and If they are
assisted in their efforts by other mag
mates as they were by President Stick

The Great Western Is preparing to be

And it is very likely they will, in view
of the startling climax of last month.
The commission will take up the
matter of grain rates from Missouri
river points again. This was the sub
ject which furnished the recent sensa-
ton, which is called unparalleled" by
Eastern railway magazines. Another
matter to be investigated is the ship
ment of packing house stuff from Kan
sas and Chicago, and the alleged dis
elimination in rates thereon.

MOCKING BIRDS AS DANCERS.
queer Performances They Sometimes
Go Through in the Woods.

The power of the hooking bird to amuse
Ioik is not confined to its ability as a rich
voiced singer. The more birds are studied
the more the students wonder what thew
can 90 says writer in the Popular Science
monthly. Birds with some marked charac-
terfstics are sometimes neglected in other
respects than their popularity and so il han
pens that the hooking bird is better known
as an Initiative singer than as an original
one, and that it was dancer, as much al
most as heron or crane few were aware.
The hooking birds dance methodicaIlv
like woodsmen in square dance rather than
with the wild gyrations of a darby hoedown.
They keep their bodies stiff with head and
tails erect, their wings dropping and feathers
hattened out, something like the English spar
row when hopping about before its sweet
heart; but the sparrow's feathers are thrown
out usually instead of being fiattened against
the body.
Two Of the hooking birds make set and
they bound along, Jumping rather high but
not far, going from one end of the playground
to the other, one behind the other about a
FOOT, and each one at the end of the pIav-
ground turns in a circle slowly and with
dignity and goes back again. Sometimes thev
stop and look at some distant object day
dreaming, apparently, then away they 20
again.
Mr. Blake tells about a hen that was dis
turbed by the actions of pair of mocking
birds in their dance whereupon she left her
brood of chickens and charged the couple
with clucks and futtering wings Up went
the hooking birds with true mocking bird
talk, scolding and sputtering at the hen until
they fairly drove her away.

Question Of Parity.

We contend that free and unlimited
coinage by the United States alone
will raise the bullion value OF silver TO
its coinage value, and thus make silver
bullion worth s1.29 per ounce In gold
throughout the world. This PROPOSE
ton is in keeping with natural laws.
not in defiance of them. The best
known law OF commerce Is the law Of
supply and demand. We recognize
this law and build our argument
upon it.
The question upon which interna-
tional bimetallists and and independ-
emit bimetaIIists differ Is: Can the
United States by the free and unlimit-
ed coinage Of silver, at the present le-
gal ratio, create demand for silver
which, taken in connection with the
demand already in existence, will be
sufficient TO utilize all the silver that
will be presented at the mints? Our
opponents must rest their opposition
on the ground only, namely: that the
supply Of silver available for coinage
is too large to be utilized by the Uni
ted States. If our minis are opened to
free and unlimited coinage at the pres
ent ratio merchandise silver cannot
come here because the labor applied to
II has made it worth more In the form
OF merchandise than it will be worth
at our minis. We cannot even expect
all Of the annual product OF silver be-
cause India, China, japan and Mexico,
and all other silver using countries
must satisfy their annual needs from
the annual product; the arts will re-
quire large amount and the gold
standard countries will need q consid-
cradle quantity for subsidiary coinage.
We will be required to coin only that
which is not needed elsewhere, but II
we stand ready TO take and utilized all
of It, other nations will be compelled
to buy at the price which we fix.
There Is only one way TO stop the in
creasing flow Of gold from our shores,
and that is 10 stop the falling prices.
The restoration Of bimetallism will
not only stop falling prices, but will, to
some extent, restore prices by reduc.
ing the worlds demand for gold.
In conclusion permit me TO say q
word in regard TO international bimet-
allism. We are not opposed to an in.
tcrnational agreement looking TO the
restoration Of bimetaIlism throughout
the world. The advocates Of free coin.
age have, on all occasions shown theii
willingness TO cooperate with other
