Sleep is absolutely essential for the
preservation of mental and physical
health. and the loss of 1t for long time

Local bowling enthusiasts have an
other scheme under consideration. 1t
Is a proposition to take a team of pick
cd Wheeling BOWERS down the river on
one of the packets. preferably the Vir-
ginia, TO Cincinnati and possibly up TO
Columbus. Cincinnati has a bowling
league Just established this winter and
Il Is thought that a Wheeling team
could get on several contests In the
Queen City. Down there the teams arc
OF ten men each and their scores OF late
show that they average about 100 TO the
player, which IS FAR below the average
work Of even the weaker teams IN
Wheeling. II games can be arranged
in Dayton and Columbus the team
would work back to Wheeling on that
route. Not game should be lost on
that trip, as a team OF six having indi-
vidual averages over ls0 could easily be
secured.
The Linden Grove games next March
are already assured but the dates are
as yet not settled. Pittsburgh was 10
have taken the two evenings before the
games In wheeling but the promoters
Of the game In the Smoky City seem TO
have dropped out OF sight. Colonel
Statler says thnt even II Pittsburgh

gaining ground that the visitors will
have no easy snap when they run up
against the picked local team.

There Is q demand for amusement OF

he the result, and they are supported
by American and other economic and
financial authorities of distinction who
have certainly no reason to wish that
their predictions may be proved to be
wrong. For obvious reasons Mr.. Bryan
and his supporters must hope that tine
experiment must be completely sue
cessful, though should it fail to main
tain the parity they would be in po-
sition to throw the blame for failure on
the European countries, which would
be the chief sufferers by the failure,
and whose governments are already
pledged, in conformity with resolu.
tions passed recently by their respect
i've pariamelts, to do their utmost to
make the experiment success.
'Let us suppose that the effect OF
Mr.. Bryan's election were 10 be \
speedy restoration Of the American
ratio between gold and silver through
out the world; can anyone imagine
that the governments Of Germany,
France, Great Britain and India would
dare to take the responsibility Of allow
ing such an opportunity for securing
that stability Of the exchanges which
all have declared to be desirable to
pass unutilizcd. or would face the pos
sibility of another disastrous fall with
out doing anything to secure the posi-
ton? Or, to take the extreme view on
the other side, let us suppose the conse-
quence of free coinage in the United
States would be a rapid depletion Of
the gold reserves in the United States
and a consequent fall of the American
exchange until the dollar became So
cent dollar, would the European and
Indian governments regard such i'm
pending results with equanimity and re-
frain from doing anything to avert or
mitigate them?

mission of other nations to abolish it?>
This argument is causing the leaders
of the sound money party to abandon
the plank
"In the pamphlets with which they
are flooding the states, and which are
being poured into this country and Eu-
rope also, and by the leading New York
papers international bimetallism is be-
ing treated as an impossibility and a
delusion, and the single gold standard
is being definitely advocated as the
best monetary system for the interests
of the United States. For all these
reasons it does not at present appear
at all probable that the victory of Mr..
Mckinley would be speedily followed
by an international conference, though,
if the consequences of such victory
become sufficiently disastrous, such a
conference might be eventually forced
on the governments concerned.
"On the other hand, what would be
the position should Mr.. Bryan be VIC
torious and congress definitely deter
mine to enact the free coinage plank?
We need not stop to discuss from the
moral or legal standpoint the question
as to whether the consequences of the
reopening Of the American mints to the
free coinage of silver would or would
not be of the nature of partial repu-
diation or sealing down Of American
liabilities abroad.
''It is quite certain that neither Mr..
Bryan nor his colleagues desire any
such results. Their firm belief is that
free coinage would prove to be an ef-
fective and permanent establishment
Of the parity between the various
forms of American currency and be-
tween gold and silver throughout the
world. Their arguments are all direct
ed to a demonstration that this would
