 SILVER AND. POLITICS.

The National platforms of 1892 of both the Republican and Democratic parties favored bimetallism, while the candidates of both parties favored single gold standard. The goldites had the best of the situation, for whether under Cleveland or Harrison the veto power was with them. and as no considerable free coinage sen;ti- ment existed in the great center of population which lies north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi. they were content to allow the voters of the transmississippi states whether Dem ocraIts or Republicans agitate and vote for free coinage without losing caste in their respective parties.
 The conditions of today have-in these respects scarcely changed from those of 1892, except that the Repub licans being now reasonably sure of New York and New Jersey, will prob ably not jeopardize their supremacy there by any further concessions to the silver men in the west; while the Dem ocrats, in view of their recent losses in Maryland, Kentucky, West Vir- ginia and Missouri, where advocacy of free silver was @ part of their cam paign, will not be likely to go beyond the bfmetallic ambigurHies of their last National platform, if indeed they shall go so far.
 What course, under all the circun- stances, should the friends of free coinage pursue? It is possible that in the eastern states, where they are in a minority they may better be able to conduct a campaign of education by the formation and upbuilding of separate silver party. But it is not ap- parent that any advantages would be gained for free coinage by pursuing such a course in the Pacific and mount ain states where nine voters out of ten whether Democrats or Republicans, are in favor of bimetallism. Nevada has given us an object lesson. Sen- ator Stewart led a movement there which destroyed the apparently in- vincible Republican party of that state and caused it to cast its electoral vote for Weaver, and Senator Jones subse- quently followed colleague. This was heroic, but it was not politics, for the Nevada senators have not in their new political relations a tithe of the influence and power in the senate which they wielded as Republicans Senators Teller and Wolcott of Colo rado, Mitchell of Oregon, Shoup and Dubois of Idaho, and Carter and Mantle of Montana, fhave done and can do better work for silver inside than outside of the Republican party With equal force it may be said Sena- tors Morgan of Alabama, Harris of Tennessee, Vest of Missouri, Black burn of Kentucky. White of California, and others have strength as Demo- cratic senators which they would not possess as members of third party.
 At the same time it will not do for the east to push the south and west too far. If the goldites deny self-gov- ernment to the people of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma solely because of the opinions of their voters upon a

IS HE JEALOUS?

MT. Cleveland sees fit to denounce as ''mischievous, inopportune and un- fortunate" the resolutions of Senator Davis reaff1rming and confirming the Monroe doctrine. MT. Cleveland qual- flied his endorsement of the Monroe doctrine by admitting that the United States could not object ito any ar rangement voluntarily entered into by Venezuela which seemed good to that nation. But that is not arbitra- ton. Venezuela might enter into an arrangement which would be as much Of a menace to this country and in de- rogation of it's national rights as for eign invasion. The Monroe doctrine does not justify us in acquiescing in any such arrangement involving the eNtensiol of foreign influence on the western hemisphere. The reaffirma- ton of Senator Davis very wisely challenges the right of any nation on this hemisphere to jeopardize the peace and safety of this country even by voluntary act.
 Senator Davis interpre citation of the Monroe doctrine does not preclude ar bitration. No matter what the report of the American commission may be, no matter what the verdict of court of arbitration might be, the settlement of the controversy on such a fair and equitable basis, in the case of Vene- zuela, could not be considered as menace to our peace and safety. or as violating the letter or the spirit of the Monroe doctrine. To give to Great Britain what is hers by right, and what shall be adjudged hers by a tri- bunal whose verdict is rendered ac- cording to international laws and usages, is one thing. The seizure of such disputed territory is another. And the voluntary cession of territory, of which the effect would be to jeopar- dize the peace and safety of our com mercial interests, is still anotaer This latter aspect of the controversy should be kept we'll in mind.
 The qualification as to the peace and safety of this country should not be overlooked. It restricts the inter ference of the United States to only such cases as to which we have an in disputable and universal recognized right to interfere our National interests are menaced. It does not pledge us to any espousal of the quar- rels of turbulent South American re- pubIics. It does not involve the estab- lishment of any protectorate or other form of control. None of these coun- tries can successfully invoke the pro- lection of the United States to ignore the rights to which any foreign nation may be justly entitled. But the Mon roe doctrine means, if it means any thing, that no foreign power has any right to attempt to extend its posses sions or influence on the western hem isphere. MT. Davis places any inter- ference in our part upon the basis of the Monroe doctrine itself-the insur- ance of our own peace and safety. It is this doctrine which MT. Cleveland denounces as mischievous, inopportune and unfortunate.

Poisons engendered by food ferment ing in a dyspeptic stomach are the di- rect cause of rheumatism, gout, bron- chitis, liver and kidney complaints, asthma, pneumonia, and many ner- vous ailments.
 These results are prevented by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cordial, a remedy discovered and prepared by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y. It is in itself food and has power to digest other food taken with it. Thus it rests the diseased stomach and finally masters the worst cases of dys- pepsia. It acts promptly and fresh strength and increase of weight soon follows. The first dose, taken imme- diately after eating, abates the pain and distress so dreaded by dyspeptics Trial bottles enough to prove its merit-10 cents.

senting his sweetheart with a piece of
cheese, neatly put UP in a package.
The girl when proposed to, does not
respond by either word or flower; II
the sutton Is accepted, 1t is a bit of
cheese, slyly given, that serves as the
symbol of acceptance. An engagement
is effected as follows:
The sutton begs of the girls father
permission to dine with the family on
a Sunday. A refusal is equivalent to
an insult, and frequently entails en-
nifty for life. Hence, even If the swain
is not acceptable, he may be allowed
to partake of a Sunday dinner with the
family. But that does not settle the
matter. Will the head Of the family
serve cheese to the sutton? That is the
all-important question which agitates
the two young people DESTROYS of be-
trothal. The dinner is protracted be-
yond the usual time. The pater FAM
ilias talks about all manner of things,
but never a mention of cheese. The
young couple are getting anxious and
restless. Unless cheese is served 1t
plainly signifies that the sutton is well
come as a friend of the family but not
wanted as a son-in-law. The suspense
continues until the mother casts a
longing eye upon the father, who then
slowly rises; but oh joy! beckons the
others to keep seated. He quietly goes
to the quaint old cupboard in the cor
ner and brings forth a chunk of his
Oldest cheese and serves piece to each
of the two happy young people. This
seals, as 1t were, the betrothal; where
upon he serves the others, brings forth
a bottle of his Oldest wine and all
drink to the health of the newly be-
trOthed. Verify, the uses cheese is put
to in this world are manifold.

There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
There is ever something sings always;
There's the song Of the lark when the skies
are clear,
And the song Of the thrush when the skies
are gray,
The sunshine showers across the grain,
The swallows are twittering eeaselessly.
There is ever a song somewhere, my DEAR
Be the skies above dark or fair;
There Is ever a song that our hearts may
hear
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
There is ever a song somewherel
There is ever song somewhere, my dear
In the midnight black the midday blue;
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirps the whole night
through,
The buds may bloom and the fruit may grow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and sere;
But whether the sun the rain or the snow,
There is ever song somewhere, my dear.
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
Be the skies above dark or fair,
There is ever song that our hearts may

There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
There is ever a song somewhere!
