TnE Chicago Record is an unique and interesting newspaper It is independent in politics. and thoroughly nonpartisan Through out the agitation Of the silver ques- tion the Record has conducted a "Free Coinage Debate in it's col umns, securing articles and argu- ments from the ablest opponents of each side of the financial contro- versy. These articles have been published in parallel columns, and during the while the paper has re- mained neutral editorially. In this way it has kept all of it's quarter of a million readers in q hearty good humor, and has provided the advo- cates of either side Of the question with all the literature they desired. To cap the climax of its achieve ments, the Beeogd has sent two of it's special cores spondents 10 Mexico to investigate the financial condi- tions in that silver standard coun- try, and present the facts to it's readers One of these correspond ents is a strong silver man and the other is an arrant gold bug The result is what might be anticipated
 One represents the conditions as favorable to the white metal, while the other makes lurid pen-pictures of the woes of free silver. In con nection with these letters from Mexico, the Record invites its read CTS to discuss the facts presented, and this, too, has aroused much interest and awakened considerable controversy And all the while the Record is growing in circulation every day, Great is the scheme as a circulation eetter, and great is the Record While that newspaper has never declared itself on the financial question, we must give it as our opinion that the Record is a bimetallist, for certain it is that it believes in double standard.

The cluh a1orement In Franee.

Within tho last few years the "eman- Cipation of woman, as it is called, has made very rapid strides in France. It is not only that women are more freely admitted to share ill the labor of life and to occupy posts in the public offices, banking houses, merchants establish ments, etc., which were formerly re- served exclusively for men, but they are demanding loudly to be permitted to exercise political rights.
 The club movement has made more progress among the provincial women of France, it seems, than at the capital Dinard has had its Association Fem mine for many years, q similar organ ization-the first of its kind-having been but just established ill Paris It's quarters are in the Rue Duperre, and it already boasts more than 60 members. Many of these, however, are nonpaying, the promoters being chiefly anxious to form fairly representative feminine nucleus, and there being a goodly sum now in She treasury to start with, which will defray great part of the initial expense The club is especially designed for the convenience of single women and widows, although marriage will, of course, be no bar to membership.

TIE GRAPHIC last Wednesday copied from the Memphis Scimitay a letter published in that paper from Capt c. T. Robinson, of this city, to an insurance frn of Memphis, asking payment of a life insurance policy in gold, and the letter of the insurance men in reply to Capt. Robinson's request. Capt Robin son is q strong silver man, aud. has replied to the impertinent sugges tions of the Memphis insurance firm, with the following able letter:
 PINE BLUFF, Ark, Oct 3, 1896. "Messrs. Marx X Bensdorf, Agents Memphis,
 "GRNTLEMEN:-On the 29th inst I wrote you in regard to Mrs L. K Garretts policy of insurance on the life of her late husband and stated that she directed me to request payment in gold In your reply of the 30th ult.. you confess that you cannot pay in gold but state that if we can get your draft on New York paid in greenbaeks We can then go to the United States Treasury and exchange the same for gold coin In addi- tion you add some valuable information ta on the effect of free coinage and volunteer the adviee-'vote for sound money. etc.
 ..In reply, allow me to say that my request produced precisely the same effect and eliclted the same answer which anticipated that of exposing the hollow mask of hypoc- riev and false pretenses under which the gold standard crowd are appealing to the people for maintenance of the present system For months almost every insurance compa- ny in the country has been loudly asserting that the silver coinage would rob the widow and orphans; that the policies now payable in gold would then be paid in 53-eent dollars aud so on, AD INFINITuM.AD NAuSEAN. Yet. although we are still on strictly gold basis, and even though the peoples cause shall triumph, it will be many months before any legislative action affecting the currency can be had, your reply to demand for a payment In gold is that possibly we might get 1t out of the United States Treasury. This is. indeed. a timely lesson, and one which every voter who Is not engaged in the business of lending money will do we'll te consider.
 Now, allow mo to ask you a question: The private, corporate, municipal and gov debts Of the country amount to an aggregate of many billions of dollars. all these debts. principal or interest," or both. are falling due every day, now, if all other debtors will follow your example and refer their creditors to the Treasury for gold will you kindly inform me where and how the United States Treasury will obtain supply ,f gold sufficient to meet this demand.
 A fair, candid and direct answer to this ha 1off fod Nlf- Burlington said of tho tombstone inscriptions. be mighty entertain readin.

THE Democratic National Com mittee is said to be in dire financial straits and heavily involved in debt. The people of this country who believe in the principles advocated by the Democratic party should be quick to respond in substantial way to the needs of their leaders. + the Democratic party stood for trusts, corporations and the rule of millionairs, it would not lack for funds. Itis because it stands for the people against these sordid and selfish interests that its coffers are low.

NO HOPE FOR MeKINLET.

The New York Hefald (gold- bug) has figured out that Bryan will carry 210 electoral votes in the November election and Mckinley 237 In the Mckinley column is put down every doubtful State Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland, That is a practical confession of MeKinley's defeat, for if the Napoleon should fail to carry any tone of the doubt full central States, his defeat is assured. And Mckinley is certain to lose Kentucky, and possibly Illi- nois, Indiana, Maryland, Iowa and Ohio It is therefore apparent that Mckinley's chances of election are slim.

Effect of the Greeian Waist.

The energetic advocates of dress re- form are delighted at the rumor in the world of fashion that the Greeian waist measure is to be brought into style and that Parisian dressmakers are going to adopt the waist of the Venus of Milo as their standard of the correct figure in women. These generous proportions should have been made the fashion while huge sleeves were worn-then one would not look square; but with the small sleeves. which only aeoentuate tho size of the large waisted woman, the style seems somewhat ill timed, and we will go about with an uneorseted appearance and q decided new woman air.-Ladios' Home Companion
