outraging and numbering white girls,
some other more efficient deterrent

AS A debtor, through the resumption
of silver coinage, can't possibly get a
silver dollar except by working or SELL
ing something for it, just as he has to
do now, how such coinage will enable
him to repudiate one-half of his debt,
as the republicans and boilers say it
will, is what they, but certainly not the
debtors, may be able to tell. Ifit were
so, the vote of Mr.. Bryan would be
nightly increased.

Now THAT the national democratic
ticket has been nominated, the admin
istration has issued an order prohibit
ing postal clerks from taking an active
part in politics. Previous to the cleo
ton of the delegates to the national
democratic convention, neither postal
clerks, nor any other men in the gov
ernment's service, were prohibited from
active interference with politics; in
deed, on the contrary, they composed a
large part of the State conventions. But
now they will not be allowed to help
the election of their party's nominee,
even should they want to do so.

wonderful Surgical Operation.

A Wonderful Surgical Operation.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, July S0.-William
H. Young died last night from a rup-
tuye of the greater artery leading from
the heart. The artery was ruptured so
as to allow the blood to dilate the outer
coat, forming q tumor filled with
blood which INSTRUCTED circulation.
About year ago Young was
placed upon the table and his
breast barred for the knife. An
electric battery of great strength was
at hand, provided with gold wire OF
thread like diameter. A surgeon open
ed Young's breast and inserted thirty
inches of gold wire in the tumor and
turned on the current. The result was
such an intense heat that the blood in
the tumor was forced back to its proper
channel. Young rallied, but suffered a
fatal relapse this week. A postmortem
examination was made yesterday and
it was found that coagulated blood had
entirely departed from the tumor. Sur
geons regard the operation as wonder
fully successful.

The NEW y DIRK Herald says nothing
could be sillier than Mr.. Bryan's de-
mand for free silver coinage without the
consent of any other nation" But a
wiser than the Herald man, Mr.. Chaplin,
q member of the British Cabinet, says,
''he knows of nothing to prevent the
United States from doing with success
what was accomplished by France and
the Latin Union, but that whether
they could or not, free coinage would
inevitably reduce the present wide di-
vergence between the metals, and, to
that extent at least, would conduce to
an international agreement" The pres
ent depressed condition of the country,
under a quarter of century of gold
standard, and the result of silver coin
age being so uncertain, it is not at all
wonderful that a large majority of the
people are willing to give the white
metal trial

Sun as it was of Plato. That paper
agrees that, with the South, it is any
thing rather than the republican party,
but, in the same breath, it says that
with third ticket in the field, South
ern democrats, opposed to free silver
coinage, will not be compelled to choose
between Bryan and Mckinley. No, the
Sun would have them choose the latter
for love, and without any compulsion,
as every vote cast for the third ticket
would be taken away from the demo-
cratic ticket. The Sun also adduces as
proof of its assertion that there is OPP
position to MIR. Bryan in the South, a

TO-DAY'S TELBGRAPHIC NEWS.

BUDAPEST, July 30.-A magazine at
Funfkirchen exploded this morning
with terrific force. The town hall was
almost completely wrecked and other
buildings in the vicinity were badly
damaged. So far as known five persons
were instantly killed and over hun
dred seriously, some of them fatally,
wounded. Some of the buildings in the
vicinity of the magazine collapsed under
the effects of the shock, and there is
reason to believe that many of their in
mates were buried in the ruins. The
municipal authorities, aided by the
military, are making every effort to
clear away the ruins and rescue those
who may be imprisoned beneath them.
The magazine was located but short
distance from the square in which the
market is held. To-day was market
day, and the square was crowded with
rustics when the explosion occurred.

A Fatherly Stickleback.

The stickleback is handsome, lively
little fish which Is found in salt and brack-
ish waters There are several varieties of
four or five inches in length at full growth.
1t is nest building fish, the male sickle
back building the nest of bits of plants
and twigs, and when the female has de-
posted its eggs in the nest the male pro
tects them against all corners, including
perhaps FISH Of its own kind, until they are
Matched. The little stickleback is a fight
or, and it does not hesitate to tackle fish
four or flvo times its size that might seek
to destroy 1t.
And it would appear that the male
looks out Tor the Matched out fish, at least
until tho little sticklebacks are able to
take care of themselves. A lot of little
sticklebacks have lately been Matched out
at the aquarium. They are of variety
that attains at full size a length Of about
two inches. The other day when two or
three Of the little ones, each about a quar-
ter of an inch in length, had found their
way out of the nest or had been washed
out of it by the motion impaired to the
water by the stickleback swimming about
over it the male stickleback put them
back. They could swim little, but ap-
parently the male stickleback thought they
were not yet strong enough to set out fcI
themselves, and it followed each one up,
picked it up carefully in its mouth and
