Some even stay through the parts

But Queen Amelie, daughter of the

earnestly and Systematically devoted
herself to the study of medicine, and

At ten o'clock in the morning the

prised TO see brougham, with the
royal arms in the panel and drawn by
two black stations, turn into their
street and stop before No. 90, which is

Manoel Valdes, which she found with
out apparent difficulty. Where the
passage was sufficiently wide the duke
offered her majesty his arm. A groom
stumbled up the crooked stairs behind
them.
Manoel Valdes is 4 paralytic, an old

pected to die. There was no one to
take care of old Manoel, and no money
to pay for a doctor for little Castora.
AS soon as the queen heard of their dis
tress she came to visit them, and the
neighbors say she saved Castora's life.
When her majesty entered the apart
ment little Castora lay on a rough cot
quite delirious, and old Manoel sat
grooming and trying to warm himself
at an estufa of charcoal in the corner.
Queen Amelie took the little sufferers
temperature, smoothed her hair and
wrote out a prescription, which was
taken by the groom to be put up by the
nearest chemist. The chemist has the
prescription now. BE refuses to part
with it, and is going to have it framed.
Within 20 minutes the groom brought
back a draught, which her majesty
stirred and gave to little Castora with
her own hand. Then she left, and was
driven to the palace.
Little Castora's condition is greatly
improved. She is quite conscious, and
says she felt immediate relief from the
time she felt the queens hand on her
forehead.
1t is rumored that an addition has
been made, at royal request, to Manoel
Naldes' pension, so that he shall not
want for the future. In the meantime
Castora is receivingevery attention, and
is under direct care of the court physi-
clan. The neighbors in the barrio are
stu excited.
And how did the story come to the
queens ears? Well! Manoel has q
younger brother, Jose, who is a strap
ping corporal of the guards stationed
at the palace. Jose has been very sad
lately, and this was noticed by his novid.
Therese Constant, who is a maid of the
queen and who meets Jose, told Therese
why he was sad, and Therese, who is
French and very emotional, told the
queen while she was dressing her hair
This is how relief came to Castora and
Manoel.

Tho following oaustic letter has been
addressed by Senator Stewart of Nevada
to Bishop Newman, who recently gave
vent TO savage attack ON Mr.. Bryan
and his platform;
WASHINGTON, Aug 6, 1895.
Bishop John 2. Newman, Methodist
Episcopal Church, Philadelphia:
DEAR SIR--I am panied to see in tho
public press statement to the effect
that you have joined the enemies Of
your country to opprcss and rob the
great mass Of your fellow citizens.
If the published quotations from your
speech are correct you have indorsed
the clandostino legislation oC 1878,
whereby one half Of tho metallic money
of the world was destroyed and the
value Of the other half doubled. You
have also indorsed tho Schemes of tho
money powers of London and New York
to control tho gold of the world, ad-
vance its purchasing power, reduce the
valuc of property and services, and
thereby build up money oligarchy on
the ruins of tho republic.
There is no excuse for man Of your
intelligence to advocate the gold stand
ard. You know that the purchasing
power of gold has been advanced by
fraudulent legislation and wicked ma
nipulation fully 100 per cent; that the
rich have been made richer and the poor
poorer; that the government of the
United States is fast becoming q gov
ernment of plutocraoy. In former days
you mourned over the practices by which
the earnings OF the masses were trans
ferred to few. Now you even go so far
as to advocate tho election of William
Mckinley, who indorses the policy of
Grover Cleveland, of John Sherman, of
Piorpont Morgan, and of the agents Of
the Rothschilds on both sides of the At
lantic. Doyou know that William Nc
Kinlcy, or rather Mr.. Hanna, who con-
trolls the action of Mr.. Mckinley, con-
tends that tho United States has no
power "to coin money and regulate the
valuo thereof" although the constitu-
tion expressly confers such power2
l thank you that you have told the
people your evil purposes. This may
have been indiscreet on your part, but
assure you that it will put honest men
on guard against the wicked work you
propose, and perhaps your evil boasting
may prove boomerang and benefit to
the cause of honest money and honest
men. Yours truly,

THE GREAT QUESTION.
We Dare Not Intrust Our Affairs to Those
Who Doubt Our Nations Potency.

Who Doubt Our Nations Potency.
My friends, in this campaign there is
! only one great issue. If that is settled,
it will not give us IA government perfect
i'll all its details, but that one question
must be settled first before other ques-
tions can be settled.
A nation that is not able to adopt its
own financial policy is too ilnpotent to
legislate on any question where the peo-
our opponents are insincere. We do not
say they are less honest than we, but
we do say that when they attempt to
say to the American people that we
must be dependent upon the legislative
act of some other government, we say it
matters not how honest they may be,
we dare not intrust legislation to their
hands.
have said that in this contest we
have repetition Of the contest of l776,
and that III this campaign, as i'll that
line will be drawn between tho patriot
and the Tory, and when l say it do
not say it, my friends, to criticise the
man who believes that this nation is
not great enough to legislate for its own
people. He believes it honestly, and l
recall your attention to the fact that in
the struggle Of our forcfathers for liber.
ty there were those who honestly be-
loved that we ought to continue in this
land the political supremacy of Great
Britain.
In this they were but mistaken, and
if you 90 to the cemeteries you will find
no monument reared by a grateful peo-
pie to commemorate the names of those
who thought English domination should
continue. There are people today who
believe that this nation is not strong
enough to legislate for our people, and
there are people who honestly believe
that an attempt to do so would bring
distress and many evils. We may re-
spect their honesty, but must we enter
into life and death struggle with them
because we assert here that the ilnan.
cial domination by foreign power is
as dangerous to the liberties of the peo-
pie as political domination?-Eryan ct

Principles and Parties.

1t is eminently appropriate that the
Republican party, lineally descended
from the old Federalists, should declare
for the, single gold standard and the
centralized monetary dcspotism it Gre
atos. With one-half the metallic money
of the world destroyed and the remain.
der under the control of few capital
lists, the malign prediction of Hamilton
that the people could not govern them
Belves and that only monarchical gov.
crnment could be permanent would be
realized.
The great leaders Of the Democratic
party were opposed to Capitalization in
every form, and especially to that of
banks and syndioates. They believed
that the government should create
money, and not national corporations,
which would inevitably use their enor-
nous privileges for selfish and mer-
cenary purposes.
The rank and file Of the Democratic
party yet follow the teaching Of these
illustrious men and distrust those who,
under the deceptive plea for sound mon
ey, would diminish the volume of cir
culation and, give additional purchas
ing power TO gold
The masses of our people are truo to
the principles upon which the govern
mont was founded-equality in burdens
and benehts-and in the coming con-
flict will not be false to their convic-
