HIS MASK OFF.

One thing that forcibly strikes all the thoughtful readers of the Boy Ora tors orations Is that he is continually appealing to some of the worst and most dangerous things in human na- ture. There isn't any sound argument for the free silver theory, and it is therefore not fair or reasonable to ex- pect that the chief advocate of it can invent and present any. But it is fair and reasonable to expect that man who aspires to be President of this free and united country will have dignity, decency and morality enough to refrain from attempts to stir up passions which when once stirred up will be beyond control and will work disaster and ruin. It is all right to love the people, but when a presidential candidate shows his love for them by inviting them to fight and rob each other they can wise- ly question the quality of his love.
 Iue boy CIatoT nad ms mask on when he spoke in Madison Square Gar den. Since then he has had it off and his countenance has not been pleasant to look upon. It is the countenance of a reckless demagogue and revolutionist. He gaily says we need trouble and want trouble. We shall have it if he and his gang prevail

ERAYERNAL ENTRANCE.

The suit that has been brought by Benjamin Cohen of Baltimore against the Supreme Council of the American Legion of Honor calls attention to some of the weak spots in "fraternal benefit" insurance. Tn his bill in equi- ty MT. Cohen sets forth that he became a. member on January 26, 18SS and that the monthly premium was limited to 2.S0 on S5,0o0, but that in consequence of gross mismanagement of the affairs of the corporation by it's officers the assessments levied upon the members the amount of $16S0 per month, and that some members of the corporation 9,0C0 in assessments on a S5,000 policy, the latter being the maximum amount the beneficiary could possibly receive. He says that the $16S0 is far in excess of any rate exacted by any other insur-
  surance, and that he has good reason to believe that the monthly assessments will be still further increased, month after month. until they will amount to more than any member can pay, con- sequently resulting in the Involuntary lapsing of every member and the for feiture of all the assessments hitherto paid in by them. He says that the success of the Legion is entirely condi- toned upon it's ability to increase it's membership so as to meet the payment of all death benefits, and that it is wholly unable to so increase it's mem bership; and, owing to the default in the payment of it's death benefits and other liabilities, together with decid- ed lack of public confidence in the prac- ticability of the scheme, it's member ship for years has been on the decline

and cannot be increased, He says that the corporation is insolvent and unable to pay the death benefits, which on July 1, 1896, amounted to $63O,7O5. He says that the rules require large guarantee fund made of part of the assessments, the remainder of the as- sessments to be spent for death bene- fits; but the liabilities occurring from the death of members are much greater than can be satisfied by the entire amount arising from every income or revenue realized by the Legion.
 High officials of the Legion say that it is solvent and paying all matured claims. But even if this is so MT. Co., hens bill impressively exposes some of the defects in fraternal insurance.

 General orders have been received by various camps in this state of the Sons of Veterans from w. H. Russell, com manderin-c s. V. U. s. A. The orders, after giving a list of division commanders who have been elected and installed among other things say:
 The bonds of nearly all these newly elected commanders have already been submitted and approved and the new administrations have taken up the work of the order with earnestness and enthusiasm. Regret at the loss officially of old and tried friends and brothers is thus tempered with joy over the ability and zeal displayed by their successors, who are most Loyalty aided by those who have surrendered the leadership of divisions to make up the work in their home camps as high in the rear ranks.
 On April 3, 1896, charter was issued for a camp at Honolulu, H. l., and the camp attached to the division of Cali fornia, that division having been in- strumental in the organization of the camp.
 At the encampment of the division of California, April 23, the name of the division was changed to the 'Di- vision of California and Hawaiian Isl- lands" and the change of name has been approved.

WORDS OF VISDOu.


 The more McKinleys letter of ac- ceptance is studied the more will its ability and solidity appear. It is a great document and effectually dis poses of the cheerful theory that Mc- Kinley is man of small mental cali bre. This theory had already received some powerful shocks from the Front Porch" speeches, which have been just what they ought to be, and have done much, in a few words, to set the situa- of them there has been something well worth the attention of the whole coun- try as we'll as that of those to whom they were immediately addressed. Fr instance, he said to the Ohio working mans delegation which visited him the other day: Another growing senti- ment among the people is that, much as they are attached to the old party associations, and hard as it is to leave their old relations, they would rather break with their party than to break up their business; that parties are not as strong as business ties, and the good of the country is more to be desired than the success of any political party. Men will no longer follow party when it leads away from business success and prosperity, when it's policies crip- pie our industries and the earning power of labor. They will not follow a party whose policies imperil our finan- cial integrity and the honor of the country.
 This is entirely true, and in its truth lies the strength and success of Me Kinley and those whom he Is leading. There is no profit in the principles of free trade, free silver and repudiation, and it is preposterous to ask men to vote for their own ruin.

Costly.


 10 the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: There is one point Mckinley fails to make in his letter of acceptance. That is that with the initiation of free silver, the six hundred and odd millions of sil- yer dollars now in circulation and still Kept up by the government to a parity With gold, will immediately depreciate and take place alongside of the silver so called, dollars of free coinage. This Will occasion a loss to the country of about three hundred millions. No dis junction can be made between the sl- yer dollars already coined and those to be coined under free silver. They Will be all exactly alike in size, weight and value. It will be impossible to dis criminate between them. As the gov ernlnent cannot possibly sustain the gold value of all it will be obliged to give up the task of sustaining the gold value of any. The election of Bryan will, therefore, to start with. cost the government sum which would keep the pension mill a-going for at least two years; about four dollars apiece per citizen. D. CADY EATON.

properly, push tissue paper under all the folds and puffs of tllle and wrap feathers lightly in tissue. The crisp ness of the paper will keep the feathers from settling, and their color and gloss is preserved by being covered. The flowers must also be folded In tissue, so the hat is ready to be hung OF ribbons from the top of a box, 1t will look like a head done up In curl papers. Do you understand about hanging the hat from ribbons? That Is a, great trick and will keep hat as fresh as new. Make holes Tn the top of a hat box, or, better still, sew the ribbons to the paste board without making loops and slip these over the brim of the hat Have enough of them so that the weight of the hat will not pull the brim out of shape and of course the loops must no where crowd the trimming. If so hung carefully the pretty thing will emerge next summer from its box (wherein 1t has hung from the cover all winter), as fresh as new and if 1t was in good style and little advanced this year, it will then not be much out of date.
 If the hat has chiffon scarfs, they should be lightly folded in this process. or rolled over tissue paper up to their end of contact with the hat Summer wells, if they be chiffon, will wash. White veils are worn in the winter time, but a good many of this summers 8 veils will do to fold and lay away, Put them In a case filled with your ia : vorite sachet, for of all things veil is the most suitable article of wear to be perfured. T;:e contact of the scented film with the fece lends suggestion of perfume to the cheeks, and while the veil is being worn the perfume comes from it faintly with the breath.

THE SKULL BIT.
A Catch That Was Luck for the Fish,
 If Not for the Fisherman.

A Catch That Was Luck for the Fish,
 If Not for the Fisherman.
 "The strangest fish story ever heard was an experience I had myself" said Judge Scudder of Ataluma, as he set tied himself back in his big armhaM, while a reflective look passed over his open countenance.
 Tt was in the summer of '92, I think, that an customer and myself started out on the war path for fish. Salmon Creek afforded fine fishing for salmon, trout and salmon trout as well, and many were the stories of mammoth fishes caught there which were waited to our ears when our friends learned of our destination, to all of which my friend from the east listened incredu- lousIy.
 This stream, as you know, flows through narrow defile, with precipit- ous sides, and. winding around con- sAerably after leaving Freestone, final ly empties into the Pacific, and right near there we had our headquarters, at the Ocean View house, tramping up the narrow canon each morning with bait for ourselves as well as the fishes "We had good sport--fine luck. in in fact-for two days and on the third day chose very wild spot and seat ed myself on a large rock overhanging the creek I fished with line and rod, using the same old-fashioned sort of worm T did as a boy. There was no need to use the more scientific fly when fish were so easily caught
 "The customer was downstream a little way, and everything was intense ly solemn and quiet. When I felt fierce pull on the line I reused up at
 once and, pulling up, what should see come bobbing to the surface but a hu-
 man skull, which, to all appearances, | had swallowed the bait through it's eyes. Naturally my otherwise steady
 nerves were considerably shaken and with a sort of howl started back sud- denly, which motion swung the grew some thing rather sharply against a rock, whereat 1t cracked apart and the l several pieces-to my relief-slid off in-
 to the stream, leaving dangling on my | line a most peculiar-looking fish, al- most white and forming an almost per- feet ring.
 q quickly jerked the hook out of it's l gills and let it drop into the clear wa | ter, where 1t went through the strangest motions, still keeping it's cir cular shape. It was unable to swim,
 but twisted around in the water, or moved with a wheel-like motion. My | friend, who had been attracted by my howl, arrived just in time to see some
 of the eccentric gyrations, and I really
 believe if he hadn't actually seen it he
 would always have said 1t was a Cali fornia yarn.
 | we afterward came to the conclu- | sion that the fish. when small had
 strayed into the skull, and probably | through some motion of it's own had | turned the ruin over, and so closed it's mode of egress, though 1t could easily survive and grow on the food which
 came floating by, and there 1t contin-
 ued to grow, only in ring, till the
 worm, falling through one of the eye
 sockets, provided a mode of relief from its camped quarters.
 we quit fishing for that day, and it was come time before I could eat fish

 A hat is shown below that was made of bluet fancy straw, it's brim faced with bluet chiffon For trimming there were many looped bow of bluet satin ribbon, and vari-colored flowers with foliage on the brim in front and against the back. It was just the sort of hat to go with the dress of bluet benet bengaline with which it was worn. but the call will soon come to discard all the lovely summer head gear, and then what's to be done with such hat?

New rice has been arriving In the New Orleans market for several weeks. The quality of it is very good, but the Picayune says the quantity will be short; short not only of the crop of last year, but of estimates of the yield made only few weeks ago. During the first part of the season it was possible for planters to overcome the effects of the dry weather by pumping and irrigation from streams, but latterly the crop was dependent upon rains. No rain fell and the hot and dry weather great ly decreased the yield 'It Is certain. ," says the Picayune, 'that the river crop will be very small" The market for foreign rice is firm. ThereIh been an increase in the Indian crop, according to the dispatches of few days ago, but the Picayune does not think it large enough to materially influence prices In this country.

Some French patriots have lately started the theory that no foreign med ical men should be allowed to practice in France, and further that something should be done to restrict the number Of foreign medical students who come in greater numbers each year to benefit by the superior knowledge and science of the great French doctors. This sug- gestion seems to have alarmed many of those whose interests, pecuniary and otherwise, are bound up in the foreign student, and critic who prefers to re- main anonymous points out the short Ighted folly of doing anything to dis courage a large attendance at the med- ical students. It seems that 433 Russians, PIT Bulgarians, 211 Rouma- nians, 2O4 Turks, 82 Greeks, 83 Egyp- tians, 70 Swiss, 112 Germans, 100 Amer jeans, 47 South Americans, Japanese, and Rersians are now inscribed as students in Paris, and of these by far the greater number join the medical schools. The foreign students as a whole are divided into 1,4S9 men and 339 women.
