Mr. Oak says that the black game
are singing away beautifully. in their
forests near New Sweden. So beauti-
fully. in fact, one of the Swedas who
resides there informed him, a few days
ago, that many of the residents get up
carly Just to hear them sing.
The birds sing their prettiest at be-
tween daylight and sunrise. and it de-
lights the ear of the apprecative peo-
ple. A great immigration of Swedes
from all around to that locality is not
at all improbable, as the song has
powers to attract from far and near,

influence.

Safety Only in Sound Money.

"The democrats" says Mr.. Harrity,
cannot temporize with question of
the finances. They must declare for
sound money, and there is not the
slightest doubt that their plank in the
national platform will be sound and
explicit" They must declare, as did
the last national convention, that 'the
dollar unit of both metals must be of
equal intrinsic and eNchangeable
value" That covers the question. 1t
is the democratic position. In every
national election since 1872 the demo-
Gratis have won on a soundmoney plat
form. They have lost when compro-
missing with fat money or the silver
dollar. SIN the name of everything
that is sane and honest and polite"
asks the New York World, show can the
democratic party now do anything ex-
cept make its platform clear and ex-
plicit for sound money!" With silver
plank pledging the party to free coin
age, or, what would be more detestable,
an evasive platform, read one way in
one section and another way in another,
no matter who was nominated, over
whelming defeat would be certain and
sure, and it would be defeat with little
hope of resurrection, as it would in
volye lasting division of the party

Strange Lake In Kentucky.

A remarkable lake has been discov-
cred in Marshall county, KY, near Ben
ton. 1t is known to very few even in
the county, but person who explored
it vouches for the following facts: The
lake is about so yards in width and $50
yards in length. The remarkable part
of it is that this sheet of water, which
is said to be bottomless, rests on the
brow of an elevation $50 feet high.
The water is exceedingly clear and the
rain and drought have no effect upon
the stage of water. 1t is evidently not
supplied by springs, for it freezes in
winter. All manner of fish abound in
it's clear depths.

Novel Scheme of the Manhattan "L" Syn
dictate in New York.
When the plans of the Manhattan L
syndicate for a double-decl1ed rapid
transit system are submitted to Mayor
Strong they will include a feature
which will be hailed with delight by all
wheelmen. The drawings will show a
perfect bicycle track built on top of
the second story of the railroad struc-
ture. The scheme is to have q track
40 feet wide, laid with the best Georgia
pine, divided in the center by q parti-
ton, to separate the up and down
tracks. The bicycle track is to reach
from the Battery to the city limits, on
both the east and west sides. Every
half mile stations will be built provided
with elevators for the use of wheelmen
and their machines. The company will
sell round-trip ticket for five cents,
and bicyclists will ride high above the
city and it's hustle.

THE MISSOURI MADNESS.
Ruinous Demands of Rampant Free
Corners.

The Missouri democratic platform
demands the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver and gold" "at the ratio of
sixteen to one, without waiting for the
action or approval of any other gov
eminent"
1t rests this demand on the assertion
that from the beginning of the gov
eminent, following a policy formulated
by Thomas Jefferson and firmly estab-
lished by jackson, the democratic
party has been the party of bimetal-
lism." But what are the facts?
The bimetallism of jefferson and
Jackson was based upon a coinage ratio
representing the ratio of actual value.
The silver and gold dollars they favored
were worth the same. The bimetallism
of the Missouri convention proposes sill
yer dollars worth about one-half gold
dollar each. The bimetallism of democ-
racy was honest. The bimetallism of
the Missouri platform proposes a swim
die of so per cent.

A SUBMARINE BOAT.
Fiction Of Jules Verne About to
Become an Actual, Living Fact.
Ocean Depths to Be Explored by Strange,
Cigar-Shaped Craft-Wrecks to Be
Located and Valuable Car
goes Recovered.

The Lake Submarine company has
been organized at Baltimore to build
q vessel with which to locate and ex-
plore wrecks at the bottom of the
ocean. William Maltster, of the Co
lumbar Iron Works and Shipbuilding
company of Baltimore, is treasurer OF
the new company. The boat is to be
built at these works. Simon Lake, Of
Baltimore, is the inventor and president
of the company. The boat is to be
cigar-shaped and of steel. 1t will be
propelled by steam on the surface and
by electricity from storage batteries
under the surface. According to the
plans 1t will be possible to work it at
depth of $50 feet, which will allow it to
go in some places 100 miles from the
coast. The ocean bed slopes down at
about the rate of six feet to the mile.
The trial vessel to be built will be about
40 feet long and 10 or is feet in diam
eter. 1t is to be made small in order to
be transported easily to Europe on a
steamer after a trial in the port OF
Baltimore. 1t will carry crew of six

the bottom 40 hours without renewing
the air. The openings, where the
divers will go out to work, will be on
the bottom, and the water will be kept
out of the apartment by which they
will leave the boat by air pressure.
Powerful electric lights will illuminate
the ocean bed for 800 feet around the
vessel. There will be a propeller in
the rear. When the boat strikes bot
tom it will run on three wheels, two
of which will be provided with claws,
so they may be used as additional pro-
pellers. The operator will stay in the
front, behind the electric lights. The
relative air and water pressure will be
shown by guages. A derrick fastened
on the end will be used in lifting the
wreckage.
The company expects not only to
raise wreckage, but also to discover
coral, sponge and other valuable SUBJ
marine deposits. Mr.. Maltster and the
marine engineers are confident of the
success of the scheme

A meeting was held the other night at
the Columbian university to perfect an
organization to advance the cause of
southern history by the collection of
historical material of events of the
south.
The chief promoter was ex-senator
Butler, of South Carolina, who warmly
Endorsed the organization of Il southern
historical association, and agreed with
the others who spoke upon the subject
that it was the fault of those from the
south that proper records of historical
events were not kept, and in support of
his statement referred to the work of
the societies of New England states in
keeping a correct list of the events of
their section of the country that has
now become historic.

AFRAID OF THE FUTURE.
Business Paralyzed by Free-Coinage Agi
tation.

ASoSbesS Wy AAtc->oAha6c ASt-
tation.
The Wooden and Willow-Ware Trade
Review of April 10 offers the following
explanation for the cause of the pres
ent unsatisfactory business conditions:
All business is done by the medium
of the existing measure of value. If
there are any doubts about the future
of that measure, commerce gradually
approaches standstill. When the
Sherman silver law was repealed, con-
fidence in the future began to return,
and it was expected that steps would
be taken to remedy the evils of the cur
rency system under which the business
of the country has been operating
Stimulated by this view, some business
men launched new enterprises and
started up old ones. There was an ap-
pearance of a revival in business a year
ago.
When, however, it was found that
there was small band of men, whose
whole future was based upon securing
the free coinage of silver by the United
States minis, in a position to block
every move made to insure the continu-
ance of honest money in this country,
commercial people became nervous
again. They commenced to prepare for
financial trouble, which they thought
might come. This preparation involved
the withdrawal of loans, the curtail-
ment of manufacturing, The abandon
ment of new projects and the gathering
of reserves. Thus manufacturing and
trading have for some months been suf-
fering from gradual paralysis.
These conditions should convince
every business man of the paramount
importance of having the so-calIed cur
rency question settled. Just now one
of the most profitable things business
man can do is to use his influence and
spare time in working toward currency
reform and impressing upon the poll
ticians the fact that the business inter-
ests of the country require sound
money. Our national politicians who
are now setting up the pins for presi-
Dental election should take warning.
No candidate who is not in favor of the
gold standard ought to be elected presi-
dent this year. Efforts should be made
to prevent any man not sincerely and
earnestly in favor of it from being a
candidate upon either the democratic
or republican ticket.
Under existing restrictions we have
the largest and best bimetallism ever
known in any country. We are using
silver equally with gold and more large
ly than any country in the world ever
did when using gold at all. And we are
keeping all these silver dollars on par
with gold. What the Missouri conyen-
ton proposes is that we shall abolish
the restrictions that have thus made BIZ
metallism possible, abandon the use of
gold, reduce the value of money one
half, cheat all creditors, public and pri-
vate, cut down the purchasing power of
wages and substitute cheap dollar
recommendation for the honest dollar BIZ
metallism we have.
If there is any method in this mad
ness it is the method of men bent upon
the ruin of their party.-N. Y. World.

of the United States from the base Of
