ton.

The venerable Senator Harris. OF Ten
nessee. who was the president Of the re-
cent National Democratic Free-Sllver Con-
vention, and who is still the official head
OF that organization. is reported to have
said the other day in Washington what
here follows:
I'VE are going to make the issue at
Chicago next July. We propose to force
the fighting We believe that the
people have been duly educated. / am
sure that we will have majority OF
the degelates to the national convention.
| say this because OF the correspondence
my committee has had with prominent
Democrats In all the States OF the Union.
We are busiy engaged in circulating our
literature. and there is no doubt what
ever I'm my mind that we will control the
declaration OF the next Democratic con-
vention upon the financial question"
Exactly the reverse OF Senator Har-
ris's boasts are the reports with which
the land Is flooded by the Goldtes. They
represent that the "silver craze" as they
style it. is rapidly leaving the people,
and that there will soon be no strength
In the silver faction. These boasts ought
to remind both Goldites and Silverites
that the nomination OF the Chicago con-
vention will not be worth having If the
two factions are going TO fight each
other before and at the Democratic Ma
tional Convention.

ANCIENTSHADS
DATED BEGINNING OF YEAR FROM

WHEN ALL THINGS IN NATURE

Some Other Things In Which the
Aucicnts Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began their year with the
advent Of spring. How much more APP
propriate thus 10 begin the New year
with the new life Of nature In the awak-
ening spring. At this season all processes
throughout the natural world start
afresh.
The ancients also showed their sagacity
and appreciation OF the great changes
and active processes Of the spring time
by realizing that this is also the time
for renewed life and energy i'm the hui
man system. They well knew that the
blood should be cleansed from impurities
and the nerves reinvigorated at this sea-
son. Hence the establishment Of the
custom Of taking a good spring medi-
cine.
This most sensible and healthy custom
is followed by almost everybody at the
present day, few people Of Intelligence

OF change from winter to summer WITH

So. after all. the net reduction does ho'

lessness Of enectng great reducllons III

reductions in the expenses of our State
Government. The people are, OF course,
at liberty 10 take their choice as TO the
two last; as to the first, business condi-
tons will control.
We repeat, that. In our opinion 1t was
the hopelessness OF expecting the Legisla-
ture to deal with this question that IN
fuenced many members Of both houses

ton of assembling a convention to re-

that the Legislature, during its closing

Lieutenant Lang, OF the Second Artil-
lery, United States army. who was lately
on duty at Fort Warren. though very
young man, is begging to be retired from
active service. He married the daughter
of an enlisted man, a commissary ser
geant. and he and his wife have been
cut by nearly all of the army officers
and their wives and daughters. Lang
gra iuated high in his class at West
Point, and on graduation-day quietly
slipped off to Highland Falls and married
Miss Mamie Kirkle. At Fort Warren
Mr. and Mrs. Lang found themselves os-
tracised. as far as this could be done
without taking the form OF actual insult.
Last summer the unhappy Lang asked
TO be retired. but this boon was denied
him because he was in good health, but
now he has put in another application.
and 1t is believed that the army surgeons
will be able to find a flaw in Lang's
physique that will enable the unhappy
man to secure the coveted order. Thus
this brilliant young officer will forfeit all
claim TO future glory, and will take his
place alongside those officers who have
reached the age Of ca and others, who
from physical disability, are no longer
fit for active duty.
We learn from the Washington CORE
spondent Of the Baltimore Sun that army
officers at the national capital declare
"they are sorry for Lieutenant Lang. but

their fluctuations, and in the face of the

The Washington Post says that the
New York Evening Post sees war where
all the people know. there is no war; it
discerns danger where no one else per-
celves anything but safety; 1t mistakes
blessings for calamities, light for dark
ness, veal for woe. and prophesies the
direst disasters as results OF the things
that make for peace and prosperity.
Some Of these bowling prophets OF evil
may be found almost anywhere.
