This drifting from pleasant
to warm weather rather trOu-
bleS the merchants who sell
dry goods, because they are
at a loss to know just what
to put forward. 1t makes it
a sort of second between
seasons when cloth is too
heavy and not enough con-
fldence can be put in the
weather. Lawns and India
linen are shelved for the
same reason, to be taken out
when called for.
The best articles, then, to
advertise are those which
are servicable during all the
year. We have them as well
as the others.
Pillow linen, 4ox5o is a
good thing, servicable always
and something which no
family can afford to be with
out. The same with linen
sheeting, SO, 90 and 100
inches wide. Not much
more expensive than cotton
and double the life.
Colored Madrass curtains
are always pretty, and like
white goods, they won't
fade. We've a hundred
varieties to select from. All
qualities, none of them high
priced. Then there's ice
wool in all shades; ladies
understand the value and
men don't care to.

Good Crowd and Good Program.
Over $500 Cleared.

The benefit given by the Elsie Adair
Company, assisted by local talent, on
Saturday evening, was largely attended,
as was proven by the fact that the First
Regiment adds over $500 to the credit
side of their treasury.
Taken all in all the performance was.
very creditable, and whether or no it
was first class in every feature, the
audience seemed to enjoy their evening,
and encored every number on the pro-
gram. The opening skit by Mr.. Wander
lip and Miss Adair was good of it's kind,
but that is not saying much. Miss Adair
is bright and vivacious, but in her last
song the audience grew extremely tired
of her attempt at side play with ''the
professor, Herold, who presided at the
piano. Her antics may have been am
using to the company, but people don't
pay their money to see the artists am
use themselves. The dance with which
the first number closed was catchy and
the audience liked it.
The Hawaiian Sextette, led by Mr..
Cuelho was also given hearty encore,
| though the boys were on the verge of
stage fright. Miss Jardine and Master
Russell raised considerable enthusiasm.
Vierra and Jackson, in the Leaf from
the Book of Confucius, brought down
the house. The mandolin quartette
played very well and received an encore.
The best features of the evening were
kept till the last. Emmett with his viO-
lin could keep the audience interested
and amused for a whole evening. He
was recalled again and again until the
curtain was finally rung down. Miss
Adair's splendid serpentine dancing
was quite up to her usual high stand
ard. She is a magnificent dancer, and
beautiful effects were obtained by COL
ored lights and the skillful manipula-
ton of flowing silk.

The Democratic National Convention,
in session in Chicago this week. is a re-
markable gathering. Remarkable in its
personnel and its methods of operation.
Composed of elements hitherto floating
about in political space, kicking up the
dust of discord and disorganizati on, and
thus breeding innumerable factions and
isms, and without any apparent homoee-
neity except in the n purpose of hatred
to existing conditions and a disregard for
lawful restraint that in many instances
has amounted to anarchy, these have sud-
denly amalgamated on the one issue of
free silver. The spirit and traditions of
the Democratic party have been defantly
set at naught. and all leaders disdained
who have not agreed with the majority,
| and a h~igh-handed course has been pur-
sued for the single purpose to enthrone
the one idol-free silver. Such has been
the madness of men like Senator Tillman
and Governor Altgeld, that they have
sought to revive sectional hatred, in order

hooION, L1pTIl 10, lOJU.
DEAR SENATOR TELLER: Your letter
of the 18th instant is received.
l presume the words you quote from
Mr.. Moreton Frewen have reference to
some extemporaneous remarks made by
me in London in 1894, how closely re-
ported l can not say. Perhaps if l were
stating my views for publication l should
put the matter differently, in order to
avoid possible miscoDstruotion and mis-
conception: but if the words be taken as
they were meant, | stand by them. By
the right settlement of the silver ques-
ton" of course is mean the establish
ment of international bimetallism on a
broad basis. l believe the benefits of
such a system to the trade and industry
of the world would be almost incalou-
liable, so that hardly any cost or pains
required to bring this result about should
be considered too high a price. l believe
that the nations have suffered to an
enormous extent from the dislocation of
International exchange-"the break of
gauge" - which followed the monetary
measure of 1878, and from the continuous
appreciation of gold. l believe that these
have been among the chief causes of the
crises, panics, and hard times which have
so strongly characterized the last twenty
three years. l am fully ready to repeat
the statement that the cause of inter
national bimetallism is the oause of civil
cation. The characterization of silver was
the first instance a disastrous measure,
and every step since taken in that direc-
ton has brought fresh evils. All intelli.
gent mOnometallists now admit that
universal gold recommendation is now
impossible. The old bimetallic world is
thus to be left permanently divided into
two monometallic worlds, trade between
which must be subject to inoessant and
often wide and violent fluctuations of
exchange.
While holding these views, l believe
that the United States have suffered far
less from this cause and have a far smaller
interest in the restoration of bimetallism
than any country of Europe, and l am
altogether opposed to any action of our
Government alone. Very truly yours.

Reflex Action

in Rectal Diseases is such that none but an expert in
chronic work can determine the scat of disease that
gives rise to so many complaints. Welldeiined
symptoms of Locomoter Ataxia, Heart Disease,
extreme head trouble, K1dney Complaint, Epilepsy
of long standing, and Female Complaints in an
aggravated form, have all been found to have their
origin in complicated diseases of the rectum. Yet
the true cause had not been suspected by former
doctors. 1t is astonishing how much trouble a fissure
or rectal ulcer will produce. Time and money are
wasted in doctoring unless the cause is removed.

Elk President Harrison will discuss our
national finances in an article on "The
Secretary of the Treasury" which will
appear in the August issue of The Ladies
Home journal. He will tell briefly of tho
origin of our financial system; it's expan-
sion or development; how the nation
raises its revenues, and disburses its
moneys; and detail the faults of our sys-
tenn of financiering. Referring to the
methods necessary to maintain our gold
reserve General Harrison expresses him.
self with evident disapproval, and says
that ''the present situation would be
absurd If it were not SO serious" The
increase or the diminution of the gold
reserve, the ext resident asserts, power
fully affects every interest, and the
Intending of existing conditions will be a
task for the wisest and strongest states
manship."
The ex-President olerly intimates that
successful finanoiering is extremely
difficult by the present methods. Upon
this point he says: "If fifty dollars would
suffice to hold $50, 900, 900 in the Treasury
the Secretary could not expend that
small sum. He must stand by until the
gold is gone and then sell bonds to get
it back. The result is that the banks and
the brokers are often able to make play
of the Treasury. A financial institution
whose board transacts its business in
public is at q disadvantage"

From what l have said does it not
appear that for years after free coinage
is adopted the silver dollars will have
exactly the same purchasing power as the
gold dollars, and the value of both will
be lessened only by the results of an in
Grease of actual money through the
coinage of silver. If free coinage does
not lessen the value of silver coin below
that of gold coin neither will it Lessen the
value of our paper. though redeemed in
silver, below that of gold.
Does it not seem inconsistent that one
day the gold men declare free coinage
will give the silver mine owner a dollar
for every fifty cents worth of silver he
produces, and the next they tell You it
will reduce every silver dollar to fifty
cents, as in this Currency Catechism P"
They tell US free coinage would reduce
one-half all pensions, all fixed salaries,
all fixed incomes, and they also tell us it
would so contract our currency as to give
US much lower prices and harder times
than now exist. If pensions, etc., are
reduced one-half it will be because a
dollar will buy only n half it will now
purchase; in other word de, prices OF pro-
ducts will be doubled. But how can free
coinage double prices and at the Same
time make times harder through such
falling prices as would inevitably follow
any such contraction as the author of
"a Currency Cateohism" predicts ?
Verify, if they wish to be believed, their
tales should be more consistent.
One more point. If free coinage would
reduce our currency 81, 154, 500, 900, thus
enormously enhancing the value of every
dollar remaining and of all obligations
payable in dollars, how is it that bankers
and other great capitalists are almost to
a man opposed to it? Are they 30 dull
that they cannot see what ia to their finan
cial advantage, or has human nature
so changed that they refuse immense
profits, not only freely offered. but per-
sistently urged upon them?
For the benefit of your correspondent
q, and for that of others 1 append a letter
touching upon this silver question.
Note that it's author, the ablest political
economist in his country, enjoying a
reputation worldwide, declares that our
civilization itself depends upon the re-
monetization of silver, and that there
has been a continuous rise in gold; but
q believes it has never cleft it's anchor
age" Respect fully yours,
