AROUND TOWN.

To roast some beef. to carve a joint
with neatness,
To boil up sauces and to blow the fire,
Is anybody's task; he who does this
Is but a seasoner and broth-maker:
A cook Is quite another thing His mind
Must comprehend all facts and eircum-
stances;
Where is the place and what the time
Of supper;
VINO are the guests and who the enter
tainers;
What fish he ought to buy and where
to buy It, -Dionysius.

FIVE POINTS OF FINANCE.


Some Propositfons That Cannot Be Con-
troverted.
The Courier-Journal has been re-
quested to republish the celebrated five
propositions laid down by Secretary
Carlisle in his speech at Bowling Green
May 25, 1895. Here they are:
''First-That there is not free-coinage
country In the world to-day that is not on
silver basis.
"Second-That there Is not gold-stand-
ard country in the world to-day that does
not use silver as money along with gold.
'Third-That there is not a silver-stand-
ard country In the world to-day that uses
any gold as money along with silver.
"Fourth-That there is not SILVER
standard country in the world to-day that
has more than one-third as much money
in circulation per capita as the United
States have; and
"Fifth-That there is not a silver-stand-
crd counNy In the world to-day where the
laboring man receives fair pay for his
days work."
These propositions have never been
successfully controverted and never
will be. They show that the attempted
Identification of free coinage at sixteen
to one with bimetallism is barren
deality."]Louisvill Courier-Journal.

FROM SOUND MONEY SOURCES

80. Having failed to catch the Penn
sylvania manufacturers, the free silver
sawdust operators will now send their
come on" circulars into other com
munities.-Chcago Times-Herald.
...Gen. Clarkson says that western
republicanswill support a sound money
man, if necessary. The leaders among
the silver democrats say that they will
be loyal to the party nominee. So il
looks as if the more rabid of the white
metal folk would have to secede or take
their medicine like little men.-N. Y.
Sun.
Thirty million dollars worth OF
gold will be the total of Colorado's pro-
duction this year, according to the most
recent estimates. Apparently the pros
perity of the state does not depend en-
tirely upon silver, and yet the people
out there do not seem to realize that
fact. They are as loud and boisterous
in their support of free silver as ever
Troy Times.
ITO cut away. the meshes Of
sophistry wherewith the apostles Of
the Coin school of finance have sur
rounded the question of the currency
has been the undertaking of Secretary
Carlisle, and to him more than to any
other man, republican or democrat, the
public owes its clearer comprehension
of the truths and principles at the root
of our financial system. = Rochester
