The Meat of the Argument.

Camp Silver, August 10, 1896.
Messrs. Phil. Armour u Co., Chicago,
III.
Friend Phil:-Your offer of so cents
worth of meat and a Mexican dollar
in exchange for an American dollar
received, but 1 can do better with our
home butcher. He offers SO cents
worth of meat and 50 worth Of Por-
tugese 8 per cent gold bonds in ex-
change for silver dollar.
Our butcher says the bonds must
be good as Portugal has been on a
gold standard since 1858 (twenty
years before the enlightened nations
of Europe) and its national debt has
only increased 100 per cent since that
date. Average wages paid all ar
tisans in Portugal is II cents per day
In your former letter you told me
that all we needed was little gold,
improved banking facilities" and
"confdence.n
Portugal has ''little gold" the
world has had it's improved banking
facilities since 1858, and can supply
the confidence" SO the bonds are
certainly good.
Our home butcher says he will co L
tinue to give SO cents worth of meat
and Mexican dollar in exchange for
an American silver dollar after Bryan
is elected? Yours truly,
John Fairplay.
P. S. see the London Timee
quotes Mexican bonds at 94t; Portu-
gese per cent gold bonds at 26I.

1t must be interesting TO the CON

CALLS CARNEGIE A SCAMP.

Former Mayor of Homestead Would Dis
pose OF "LOts in Heaven" for Revenge.
NEW YORK. Jan 31-The meeting of
the Central Labor union was more than
usually interesting. The delegates were
addressed by John McLuckie, who was
mayor of Homestead, Pa, during the
fatal riot of the men employed in the
Carnegie Steel works. Mr.. McLuckie
bitterly denounced Andrew Carnegie and
his company.

in my possession and / will push the
company to the wall if l can. l will
compel Carnegie to disgorge the So, $780,
900 he obtained by fraud from the gov
eminent By making rotten ar
mour which was inadvertently
placed on our war ships he has
jeopardized the lives of every sailor, gun
ner and officer in our navy, and the result
is that if war should break out between
this and any other country our ships
would be found to be in bad condition
and unable to cope with any decent foe.
"This matter must be pushed before
the senate, and by Gods will l will push
it until Andrew Carnegie is pauper.
His iron and steel companies were a few
years ago rated as being worth $780,
10000 now they are rated at only $780,
100000, and when | get through they
will be worth nothing. This work has

the cause, and if l had all the choice

The question of supporting Mr.. Nc
Luckie's crusade was discussed, and as a
result q committee was appointed to ar
range mass meetings to ventilate the
matter.

Blondes No Longer Popular.

News comes from England that is
likely to start afresh the old and in
teresting discussion relative to the dis
appearance of the blonde" 1t is in eff
rect that the ruddy-faced, faxen-haired
dolls made in Germany now find no
market in England, the demand at pres
ent being for brunette dolls, which the
German manufacturers show themselves
disincIined to furnish to the British
trade Ten years or so ago some very
Instructive statistics were printed tend
ing to prove that as result of the mix
ing of races the little dark-complexion-
ed woman was multiplying and the
blonde was being crowded to the wall.
The popularity of the brunette proves
something about this, but what it
proves depends on the way statistics
are used. In Spain, for instance
land of dark faces-a blonde foreigner
enjoys great popularity with the ladies.

QUESTION OF SEWER GAS.
The Council Considering how the
Nuisance can be Abated.

Nuisance can be Abated
The committee on sewers of the city
council is considering the question of
ventilating the sewers without causing
the people who live in the vicinity of the
manholes a great deal of discontinue
from the escaping sewer gas.
The matter was called to their atten-
ton by the complaint of Cal Brewer who
wants to close the manhole near his
home. He says it is very offensive and
thinks it should be closed up. He closed
it and the neighbors complained about
sewer gas escaping into their houses.
1t is necessary to have the manholes
because of the accumulation of sewer
gas but some of the councilmen, among
them Mr.. Stephenson, think that some
contrivance could be arranged to carry
the gas escaping from the manholes
above the houses. Councilman Stephen
son says that pine boxes fifteen or eigh-
teen feet in length might be made and
placed over the manholes and the gas
that escapes would be carried off with
out offense. City Engineer Barnes says
the plan is impracticable and the Ques-
ton is at stand still.
The sewer gas would not be SO often
sive if drenching rains were more fire.
quent, or if the sewers could be regular
ly flushed. 1t is because the sewers are
not washed out often enough that the
man holes send out foul odors.
