Palmer's Poor Memorv.

Gen. Palner's memory seems to be
failing, which is hardly surprising, con-
sidering his years and other cireum-
stances. In attempting to explain the
free silver editorials that appeared in
his paper, the State Register, in 1878,
he remarks: "Our editorials were not
for free silver; we had no silver ques-
ton; it was coin. both gold and silver.
We were not advocating free silver,
simply fighting greenbaclSs.Y If Sem
ator Palmer can find nothing more
plausible to say than that there. was
no silver question in 1878, he viii do
well to follow Mr.. Mckinley S example
and let Mr.. Hanna do his talking. 1t
was in 1878 that the Bland-AIIison sill.
yer bill became a law. Mr.. Bland'ssb iii.
for the free coinage of silver passed tho
house in 1877, the whole country echoed
with the din of debate, andin 1879 the
compromise measure for the coinage Of
100000 silver dollars a month passed
both houses over the veto of President
Hayes. Senator Palmer may not re-
member now what his opinions were in
1878, bat it is certain that if he talked
silver then, he did not do it under the
impression that silver meant goid.-N.

The MIeato ro wise IIs.

The london Chronicle says it learns
on excellent authority that the mikado
eontemplates q tour through the United
States and Europe at some future time.
II he is able to carry out this plan he
will be the first japanese emperor who
has ever been allowed to leave his
dominions. It seems, however, that
there are great difficulties in the way,
the old or fanatical japanese party OBJ
jecting strongly to SO remarkable an in
novation. The Turkish fanatics did the
same thing when Abdul Aziz announced
his intention of paying a visit to Paris
and London, but they were unable to
prevent it and that luckless sovereign.
was the first Turkish sovereign who
ever crossed the frontier Of his empire
except as q conqueror. The mikado is
a highly educated man, who speaks sew
era1 European languages, and his visit,
should it ever take place, will be an
event of great interest. .

/. UNCUT BOOKS.
Special Charm OF Revealing Their Beauty
by Degrees.

by Degrees.
1t is clear, then, that those are but
rude spirits who have no reverence for
all that pertains toa book. What could
be coarser and more barbarous than
the demand that the quivering edges
of a volume, with all the struggling
ibers that hutter on the verge of life
should be cut and hacked to dead even
ness and stilted smoothness2 Such
butchers would trim the oak leaf, tor
ture the lily and prune the luxuriance
of the horse chestnut.
The plea of utility is the most barren
of all Is there any good in ma ture that
does not demand labor in the search?
Are we to grumble at the sting of the
bee, or blind ourselves to It's glossy
beauty in our haste to steal its honey?
It is but half Of reading to merely read.
There is, SO to speak, a courtship as well
as marriage with our authors text, a
time for dalliance, for indulgence for
emotion, for coy approach and wistful
glance. And this, to the true :eader, is
more than all the bare commercial zest
in grasping it's heart, and putting its
soul to usury, as If authors but worked
fol. us,as slaves in the mines to mako us
rich.
No movements are SO delicious as
those in which the reader; first APP
proaches his author, when the volume
lies but half revealed. The text coy
and sauey as a nymph; now peering
boldly at us from the open leaf, now
lurking half concealed between the
pages, now buried beyond oilr sight.
There needsa swiftpursuit. With knife
in hand we gently lay her place of hid
ing bare, track her odusty grotto, fol-
low her through dismal cave; andin the
end she stands caught, revealed, her am
bush clean cut off, and we steal to her
embrace victorious. That, after all, IS a
very real pleasure. 1t is sweet 10 dis
cover moment by moment the authors
purpose; not hasty to sieze it, but Dip
ping here and there as one cuts the
pages, lighting on a piquant saying that
whets our appetite, CHANGING on pretty
phrase or noble sentence. - London Sun.

"Rumhlinra OF War;

Sickness and sorrow and the thoughts
of free silver has got old man Pleas
Warner mighty bad ratified in gen
eral way, but particlar in regards to
the next war, Some of these gay and
giddy people-lil1e Andy Lucas and
little Bunk Observation-Disclosures now wont
to laugh at old man Pleas and poke fun
at his troubles. But to me. it is one
of the most saddest cases in the re-
corded history of Rocky Creek. M 1s
About this time last year old man
Pleas lost his wife--which they had
walked hand in hand together through
all these many years. Then along in
the. Christmas his son Tony stole a
breeeh-loadin shotgun from one of the
Watson boys oyer in the hill lgconntry
and consequently had toIneve his wash
in somewheres way out west unbe-
knowance to the old man And finally
at last his onlyest daughter - which
they called her Sweetie, and If she had
any right and proper name I never
heard it, she packed up aslittle wallet
of duds one bright and beautiful spring
day md lit out and run away with
lightrin rod peddler. g,
About that time old man Pleas was
took down with a furious bad case: of
brealbone fever, which helt him to the
bed for three long ana weary weeks.
Ttwas a long time that the neighbors

EYES I'M The WOODS.
Expressions of Birds and Beasts as Hnnt-
ers Have observed Them.

= 6rs Have Observed Them. 81
When hunter tells how hegot close
shot at a head of game, a partridge, or
a buck, henhawlS, or woodchuck.
his description of what he saw never
| fails 10 include the expression of the
eyes. 1t is the eyes of the animal more
than any other feature that one remem-
| bers.
A day or so after the deer season
opened, an Adirondack boy took his
Winchester and went deer hunting in
| oneof the clearingslong ago ahandoneds.
which are to be seen all around tho
woods. 1t was early in, the morning
| when he got to the clearing, SO early
that he could scarcely distinguish a
poplar from balsaln tree. He sat
down beside a clump of alders at place
where deer sometimes come down from
| the beech ridge above the clearing to
! the creek below for a drink. The boy
was fortunate. A deer, q small doe,
came down, and stopped ten rods away,
just as the sunlight touched the ridge
top. 1t was plain seeing then. The deer
was looking right at the boy as his rife
came up slowly. The eyes sfsEed even
at that distance a marked curiosity.
The gun was fred. For o brief space
the boy saw the deer'ss eyes, then she
turned and plunged heavily away. The
boy viii not soon forget that last glance.
Mortal pain and fear showed in the eyes
such as one can see plainly in O
wounded deer's eyes as 1t swiIns in a
lake near a boat or watchers island
The boy found the deer later. She had
been shot through the langs, had run
short distance, then laid herself down
and curled herself up Ike dog going to
sleep.
Squirrels eyes, being small and snap
ping, have an odd appearance, which
woodsmen call playfulness. The woods
men call q weasels or fminl's eyes
mighty ugly" though they are small
and black. OF the weasel family the
skunk eyes are least vicious. The part
ridge has a sort of a puzzled look in It's
eyes when it has been scared up into
tree by a dog, as if wondering how it
came to fly away from a beast like that
SO precepitately.
Those who have seen wolves eyes
speak of them as little and crafty. The
fox looks out Of tie corners of his with
out turning his head as he trots past
some one he has met unexpectedly, Tt
has been asserted that the snakes eyes
have hypnotic influence over its prey.
Certain it is that the eyes play o very
important part in the unexplained phe-
nomena Of charming birds and beasts.
One Of the curious experiences which
few, if any, of the hunters have escaped
is the feeling that something, they do
not know what, is looking at them. Az
the hunter walks along this feeling
comes over him. He casts his glances
about, getting decidedly nervous tc
think Of what may be after hi1n-u
panther, a she bear, perhaps: Some
times the beast whose gaze seems thus
to be felt has been seen. There are
dozen authentic tales where panthers
have SO followed men, their trails being
seen after the; men had fled TO camp.
Hunters tell how deer have started of
on the jump, though the beasts could
have neither heard nor s1neit the men.
They, too, seemed to feel ehsy were fol-
lowed.-N Y. SUN.

fines His Views.
Although the formal letter of Rccept-
ance made public by Candidate William
j. Bryan, occupied but one-third of the
space of that of his republican COM
petitor, it managed to say ten times as
much.
Mr.. Bryan at the commencement of
his letter takes his stand squarely upon
the Chicago platform, and gives his. as
sent to every plank. There is no doubt
about his position; no hesitancy in de-
fning his views.
In demanding that the expenditures
of public money shall be conducted with
economy, and in the interest of those
who pay the taxes. the democratic
standard bearer is voicing the demands
of the people, irrespective OF party.
In his denuneiation of the recent bond
issues, Mr.. Bryan likewise appeals to
the good sense of the American PEG
pie. And when it is remembered that
less than six months ago an issue Of
these bonds was marked by q gross
fayoritism which amounted really to a
national scandal, Mr. Bryan's plain IL
lGstration of the pernicious system can
be thoroughly appreciated.
In his reference to the national bank
ing system, Mr.. Bryan forcibly illus
trates a bad feature of the American
system of financiering, which hut few
persons understand. This portion of
Mr.. Bryan's letter should be carefully
studied by everyone who desires tovote
intelligently. It will in measure large
~ explain why the banking interests
are solid for Mckinley.
The hearty support of the Monroe
doctrine is another feature of the let
ter, which will thoroughly please every
true American. It is the doctrine of
this country, and Candidate Bryan's
reference to it shows that he is a keen
observer of the hold it has upon public
opinion. S.

Organs at Outs,

In theirefforts to explain away defeat
in Arkansas, the Mckinley organs are
getting very badly mixed. The Inquirer
says the election was @ farce, and that
the republican vote was not counted.
The Record, which could apparently
twist disastrous cyclone in the west
into evidence that the country was for
Mckinley, finds that in many Of the
counties the republican vote was largely
increased, and pretends to- see some hope
for the single gold standard in Novean-
Der. AS these two statements cannot,
even by the widest partisan, be made
to agree, itshows that much of the CAM
