tention until startled by the sound Of some
thing scurrying across the floor
OF his room, accompanied by
series of regular squeaks pro-
ceeding from the bathroom door. Then
he became wide awake at once, and by the
most careful maneuvers saw the following
performance going on:
on its side lay the basket OF grapes. It
was emptied except for the presence Of
bunch or two of the fruit. The truthful
man could hardly believe his eyes, until a
large rat hurried out from the bathroom
and seized q bunch showed him the cause.
While he still stared In establishment the
rat dragged the fruit into the bathroom
and returned for another load, repeating
the same performance. All along the floor
was a trail of single grapes dropped from
the stems and neglected in the press OF
business.
on seeing his last bunch of grapes disap-
pearing, the veracious man contrived with
infinite trouble to move to the foot Of his
bed, where he could view the proceedings
In the bathroom.
In front of a rough irregular hole under
the bathtub stood the father of all rats
with grape in his mouth Just as the
truthful man looked. this first of the ro-
dent tribe gave curious little squeal, and
with a quick motion Of his head tossed the
grape into the hole. Shortly afterward was
lowed by another and another, as the
grape Travelled into the interior Of the
walls But without waiting for the follow
ing signals, the big rat Immediately took
up another fruit out of a group on the
floor, which an undersized animal was
shipping Off from the punches as fast as
they came In. and repeated the perform
ance. Right under the proprietor's eyes the
last bunch Of grapes arrived In a gallop
from the basket, was separated Into its
component fruits, and pitched into the
hole gong apparently-judging from the
series of squeaks-like box Of goods down
a line Of porters into warehouse, and
ending in some hidden rendezvous In the
depths of the building
IL was too much for the truthful man.
Gathering his startled faculties together,
he made a rush toward the bathroom. The
rats disappeared with a salvo OF terrified
squeaks, leaving few grapes and hole
in the wall The man went back to bed de-
termned TO do his best to keep his reason.
Next morning the truthful man made
careful examination of the premises. There
were the basket the scattered grapes, and
the hole. To satisfy himself the veracious
Individual tore off board from Under the
bath tub and examined this Pike inside.
There was a gap Of four or five inches be-
tween the edge of the hole and the nearest
BEAM then beyond a second beam and
passageway down the inside OF the wall to
The floor below.
The truthful man scratched his head.
rubbed ais eyes, and looked again. He took
measureme nts, made computations, and
then went back and tired IL all over again.
Then he went out and told his friends
about the occurrence.

How They Got a Basket of Grapes
Through n Hole I'm the Wall.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
PRETTY well down on the South Side
there lives a man who has reputation
for being quiet, veracious, and sober, but
he tells a story about colony Of rats In
his house which goes far ahead Of any
egg-stealing performance ever before ac-
credited to the clever rodents.
This truthful man lives In Bowen ave-
nue. in a house which Is In the middle
of a red brick block. For some time ne
had suspected the presence or a rat or
two about the premises, but had never
been able to get a glimpse Of the WHY
little creatures. One night last week.
however, his wish was gratified 1t TEX
out as follows:
on the night In question this sober and
veracious man took up to his bedroom
with him a large basket of luscious
grapes He had determined to follow out
his usual custom OF reading himself TO
sleep but as II was early, he thought he
would FIRST try the flavor of his grapes.
Some time after midnight he began to
grow so sleepy that he decided to give
up his dual recreation. He was still
awake enough, he states, TO reflect that
II he left the basket OF grapes on the
edge of the bed, where It was reposing,
the chances were good that II would be
overturned before morning. So his last
act before sinking into dreamless slum-
Der was to lift down the basket of grapes
to the floor The basket stin weighed
four'or FIVE pounds. The man was started
safely on his nights repose. Then the rats
came into the story.
II was in the first gray dawn Of the
morning that the truthful man awoke. He
had a vague idea that something unusual
had aroused him, but did not pay much at

Who Owns the Money?

It seems to be generally believed
that the money Of any country be-
longs to a few rich men. As matter
of fact, however, the poor people of
any civilized country own the money
of that country. Having no business
that demands cash capital they de-
post their earnings in savings banks
or other places of profit and safety,
and they could on short notice COM
mand all the money of the civilized
world. This money is borrowed by
business men and spectators who
have stocks or other collaterals to give
as security, and thus the laborer may
own the very money that gives him
employment. Rich men control mon
ey because they have property on
which they can borrow, and are viii
ling to pay interest to the owners.
The savings banks of America hold
81, S1O, 597 900 for 4,875,5l9 people.
This is more than our total circulation
for almost half our voting population.
Other banking institutions hold sew
eral times more. -Bede's Budget.

cause that came from England,
and adopt a language Of our own?
How unpatriotic it was Of us to adopt
the Australian system of voting, be-
cause that came from a foreign land !
Let us abolish all these and get up
something of our own! It would be
just as reasonable to do that as for us
to abolish the gold standard of value
simply because England and all the
leading commercial nations of the
world have that standard. This talk
of financial independence is pure and
unadulterated nonsense. The fact is
that this country has had too much of
a financial policy Of its own, and by
listening to interested silver politi-
clans our course has been rather away
from sound, safe and conservative
methods Of finance.

In9erSOll on Money.

Extracts from address of Mr.. Rob-
ert G. Ingersoll, delivered in Cooper
Union, New York, Sept. Is, in the
campaign of 1884:
81 am in favor OF honest money.
lam in favor of gold and silver, and
paper with gold and silver behind it.
I believe in silver, because it is one Of
the greatest Of American products,
and am in favor of anything that
will add to the value of an American
product. But / want a silver dollar
worth a gold dollar, even if you
make it or have to make it four feet
in diameter. No government can
afford to be a clipper Of coin. A
great republic cannot afford to stamp
a lie upon silver or gold. Honest
money, an honest people, an honest
nation. When our money is only
worth 80 cent on the dollar, we feel
20 per cent below par. When our
money is good we feel good. When
our money is at par that is where we
are. I lam profound believer in the
doctrine that for nations, as we'll as
men, honesty is the best, always eve
rywhere and forever. What section
OF this country, what party, will give
us honest money-honor bright?

owe want financial system of our
own without asking the aid or con-
sent OF any other nation on earth"
and ''this nation is big enough and
strong enough to legislate for itself
in matters of finance" are favorite
assertions of the silver advocates.
This cry sounds nice and patriotic,
but if we examine it closely we will
find that it is very silly and only
political clap-trap after all. The in
ference is that if this country single
handed would adopt the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio Is to one that then we would
have financial system of our own.
Congress can, OF course, pass law
declaring 16 ounces Of silver equal to
one ounce OF gold, but that will not
necessarily make them equal, when in
the markets OF the world 80 ounces
OF silver equal one OF gold. Congress
may, OF course, declare the mints
open to both gold and silver at the
ratio OF 16 to one, but it cannotcom
pei owners of gold bullion to take
their metal there for coinage at that
ratio. To pass a law and enforce a
law are two different things. Con-
gress can place laws upon the statute
books prohibiting the temperature
from rising above Is degrees Fahren-
heit in summer or below zero in win
ter, forbidding the North wind to
blow and requiring the Mississippi
river to flow north instead OF south,
but these laws would be q dead letter.
A resolution OF Congress will not
change human nature, or the laws of
gravitation. A majority OF the
principal commercial nations might
possibly bolster up the price ofsilver,
but even this is far from certain.
The cost of production, we believe,
would ultimately regulate it's value
in spite of human enactments. Those
self styled patriots who are indulg-
ing in the silly talk of financial indie
pendence are the very ones who
would foist upon us the British poll
cy OF free trade. Why don't they
tell us to beware Of that? Why not
demand a new system Of weights and
measures, because the ones we have
came from England? Why not do
away with the English language be

THEY GET ON THE TICKET
ELECTION BOARD WILL RECOGNIZE
SOUND-MONEY DEMOCRATS.
Room for Seven TicEets-Board Elects
Thomas Carter Clerk and j. b.
Maynard Assistant.

The National Democratic ticket-that is.
the ticket of the sound-money Democrats
of the State, will go on the ballot to be
voted In Indiana this fall. The action of
the State Election Board, which was organ
lied last night, practically settles this, and
Chairman Pickens and his committee will
have no worry on this score unless Gov
ernor Matthews shall devise some method,
before the ballots are printed, to Illustrate
the aims of the true-blue Democrats. The
board ordered paper for the ballots, and in
choosing the width of the paper lies the
significance of the boards action. This
paper is to be 171a inches wide, which will
furnish room for exactly seven rows of
nominations. This will give room on the
ballot for the Republican, the sound
money Democratic, the free-silver Demo
cratic, the narrow-gauge Prohibition, the
broad-gauge Prohibition the Populist and
the Socialist tickets. 1t is said the Gov
ernor came to the conclusion that no sort
of peanut politics could bar the sound
money Democrats from room on the ballot
even If Mr.. Kern were willing to enter in
the scheme, which was improbable. The
hitch between the two wings of Democracy
will probably come on the use of the name

agree, and when the full meeting of the

UNION MADE CIGARS.
Michael Raphael, Of New York. Makes
Appeal for Fair Wages.

The Central Labor Union was addressed
last evening in Mozart Hail by Michael
Raphael of New York. He is the business
manager of the cigar makers unions in the
metropolis.
Il am confident that all present are thor
oughly familiar with the mission that has
brought me away from my home in the
East" said he. THE results for which this
mission has been put on foot if realized
will effect large and broad benefit. not
merely to cigar makers unions. but every
member of organized trades unions in this
country. There are many members of other
unions who are fortunate in securing from
81 to s.. 80 a day as compensation for their
toll but | know of armies of cigar makers
in New York who for months have been
placed in a position where they have to
thank God for pitiable daily stipend of 81.
NY friends, l want to tell you that one firm
is having its work done in tenement houses
in which live anywhere from fifty to one
hundred families. all members of which
fathers, mothers and children-are en-
ployed in making cigars, while the wages
they derive from their work uniformly
and Iniserahly low, and yet from these star
walton wages they must gain their food
and pay their rents. The rooms are filthy
