CHAT.

Storms such as that of Sunday last have
very serious import to the proprietor OF
shore resort. Indeed they mean for
him not only cutting off OF expected
revenue, but heavy loss for food prepared
for which there are no eaters. doubt
If very many people give this matter a
thought nor would l have done so were
1t not for the fact that had chat with
the proprietor of one OF the most popular
places along the shore yesterday and he
told me some things about shore dinners
and storms that never knew before.
1t is regular practice to prepare for a
big crowd on Sunday. The crowd will
be. on hand all right II the weather clerk
is propitious.
But he is not always so. In fact, re-
Gently he seems 10 have made up his
mind to deal out on Sundays the most
dreary and drenching brands at his COM
mand.
That's what he did last Sunday, and
with what result?
Well, there were hundreds OF gallons
of chowder, thousands of pounds of fish,
big collections OF fruit and many other
things that 60 to make up a Rhode Island
shore dinner, left valueless on the hands
OF the proprietors.
WHAT becomes OF all this? Some OF it is
sold, that is when a market can be found
for it, but that isn't always.
In the mere matter OF fish alone the
quantity Is sometimes greater than a
wholesale dealer cares to furnish.
For articles that have been cooked,
such as chowder, there is no market and
1t is given away. And there are poor peo-
pie who get the benefit Of 1t.
A storm to them means a big supply
and full stomach and they are on hand
to receive the good things the weather
man has indirectly provided for them.
So you see that there is n good deal OF
truth in the old saying that "It's an Ill
wind that blows nobody good"
have heard good many excuses made
by men who wished TO avoid service on
the Jury, but there Is a man up in Maine
who for ingenuity goes ahead OF nybody
know of hereabouts.
He is a solid man and tips the scales at
some thing like 400 pounds. When be
WAS called on the panel be told the judge
he wished to be excused because there
wasn't chair in the court house large
enough to hold him.
The judge didn't regard this as good
ground for exemption and he sent cour,
attendant out to find chair that would
meet the requirements.
II was found and the solid man sat in il
and did his duty as good man and true.

SPEAKING of the situation at st. Louis
and the prominent part New Englanders
are taking there the Boston Journal re-
marks that II is many year since New
England has been as powerful factor at
National Republican gathering as it
has shown itself in the ante-convention
proceedings. That Ia all the more note
worthy because even now the six New
England States, unfortunately, are not
acting altogether as unit. But Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
Rhode Islano, with their almost three
score delegates, are standing loyalty for
REED and gold. and they have had the
advantage of tactful and determined
leadership

In the success OF the Republican party
in the present presidential canvass. IIa-
wait and Coba are almost as deeply inter-
ested as we who call ourselves Americans,
And that Republican success or defeat
means great deal to some other nations
is shown by recent dispatch from
Madrid, which says that the bankers OF
Amsterdam and Paris have declined to
make further loans TO Spain until after
November next.
There is good sense and sound judg-
ment in this decision, for the Republican
convention at st. Louis is pretty certain
10 adopt resolutions of sympathy that
will have no uncertain ring TO them,
while the election of a Republican Presi-
dent viii mean the carrying out of q
policy toward Cuba on lines that will
give the patriots OF that island the en-
couragement they are entitled to in thei
heroic struggle for freedom. Unless WEy-
LER's troops make some material progress
in suppressing the insurg nts before the
Republican party is reinstated. the recog-
milton OF Cuba as a belligerent will be
foregone conclusion. That this is the
view OF the money monsrchs OF Europe is
shown by the Madrid dispatch, and it
shows also that they VIII not loan money
to Spain with which to continue her cruel
persecution IN Cuba, il the latter is ac-
corded recognition by the United States.
AS to Hawaii's interest In the campaign
now in progress here it is only necessary
to refer to recent San Francisco dis
patch which says that a fiscal agent OF
the Hawaiian Republic is now on his
way to New York for the purpose of ne
gotiating a sale of something over three
millions of bonds at per cent. to take
up and retire like amount of bonds
now drawing six per cent. Had Presi
dent CLEVELAND bad his own way the
Hawaiian government would have been
overthrown three years ago, but with the
return OF the Republican party to power
there will be no danger OF any such con-
summation. Hawaii will then in all
probability become a part of the United
States and her bonds. will be safe invest
ment for those who hold them.

Babies on bicycles.


The Board Ct Aldermsn has not always
bssn right in its action on subjects relating
to bicycling. There is NO question, however,
that it will be conspiouousiy and phaticaliy
right IL il adopts the proposition row before
it TO prohibits the carrying OF infants on
bicycles. Tho practice has for some time
been widely indnlsed in. So-called "bsby
baskets arc made to be attached to tho

has ever seen such spectacle without

That IL is dangerous is q self-evident. In
case of mishap the child is absolutely helpless
to save it's II from injury and the father, or
whoe yer is on the wheel Is almost equally
helpless to protect IT, II the wheel slips side

SILVER'S DAY HAS PASSED.
Neither am of the opinion that BIZ
metallism is the coming plan. I think
the day of silver as full legal tender
money has passed. Thirty thousand
dollars worth of silver. 16 to I. weighs
about ton. At its real value it weighs
nearly two tons. 1t is impossible to use
such metal in the present volume and
activity of the worlds commerce, even
by International agreement, without
great loss. When commerce was unde-
veloped and every family produced, in
kind, very nearly everything 1t con-
sumed shells, tobacco, beaver skins,
etc, would answer for currency. When
it increased to a considerable degree
then these things had to be laid aside,
and copper, and then silver, put in their
places. When 1t assumed its mammoth
proportions of today much more valu-
able metal became necessary.
mo, my young friend. the future of
silver as money is as subsidiary coin.
Gold must be the standard of all money,
and gold must be the money of the
worlds commerce. To my mind there
is but one way for the patriot and the
wise man at the next election, and that
is to vote the Republican ticket, both
for president and members Of congress"

THIEF SAYS HE WAS HYPN0TIzED.
Strange Defense Made by n RObber in
Court Mt KcnOsha. Wis.

Kenosha, Wis, Aug. 11-Josheph
Schinoaha, who was before Justice j.
C. Slater to-day on a charge of steal
ing the horse Of Nick Thomas last
Monday, told the justice a strange
story about how he came to commit
the crime. 1t reads like chapter in
hypnotism. Last Monday, he says,
young man, a total stranger. ordered
him to go to a stable belonging to
Nicholas Thomas, four miles from
Kenosha, and get a horse and buggy.
Although conscious that he was COM
mitting q crime, he say he could not
resist the suggestion Of the stranger,
and accordingly took from the stable
the best horse, harness and carriage
he could find. He and the stranger
then took the road to Fond du Lac, the
stranger committing thefts along the
way. In the town of Ashford, Fond
du Lac county, Schinoaha's companion
entered the house of Orson Hull and
stole a watch and several other arti-
cles and then decamped.
Schinoaha describes his partner as
man not much over 20 years of age,
about feet inches tall, with sandy
hair and mustache. Schinoaha waived
preliminary examination and was
bound over to the circuit court. His
bonds We're fixed at 500.

BIMETALLISM EXPLAINED.
This Real Thing As Distinguished
from the Bogus.

"At the very outset, want you to un-
derstand precisely what is proposed. You
will hear a great deal Of talk about BIZ
metallism. The system which is proposed
by the Chicago convention is not bimetal-
lism. Bimetallism is an entirely different
affair." What Is the object of bimetallsm?
The object of it is to give to the currency
greater stability by spreading it over
more surface.
"a very common Illustration of II is
this: If you have a lake anywhere and it
the region in which 1t is the rainfall may
lift it. drought may lower it. Now, IL you
want perfectly stable surface you have
got to get it by some appliance outside Of
the lake.
Suppose you can join Il to another
lake in n different climate which is diff
ferently affected. If you join them per-
fectly together then there will be the
same level in both lakes and the disturb
ances in one lake will be counterballnced
by the disturbances in the other lake and
The tendency will be to have q steadier
level That will all be perfectly true pro-
vaed your two lakes do balance, and you
get 4 more stable currency
Now there is some reason and sense
in the idea that the whole world, if they
took gold and silver at a proper ratio,
could preserve q greater level of prices.
= iir,ner and more stable level of prices.
This no single country could do."-Tom
Reed at Portland.
