The silYer OuesfInn.

The German federal council has re- jeeted the reichstag resolution in- strueting the government to issue in Yitations to an international monetary congress to consider the rehabilitation oI silver. This brings the silver ques- ton down to but three practical soln- tions. They are:
 First-To leave things as they are, maintain the gold standard, and ceasc the effort to make q money metal of silver.
 seeond-To put dollars worth of silver in silver dollar, and allow the coins to be represented in our circula- tlon by silver certificates.
 Third-To adopt the silver standard and drop to the level of Mexico and ether second-rate countries in onr financial system.
 There is no other possible way tban one of these three. The proposition of the silver men to open our hints to the free coinage of silver at sixteen to @ enc means the third proposition named aboFe.-Tole.4~ Blade.

SOUND MONEY SAYINGS.


 Those who oppose the free and unlimited coinage of silver contend with good reason thet they are true bimetalists, and experience proves that the only countries in which gold and silver constitute fIe general circu. letion are countries which do not have the free and unlimited coinage of sil- Ner.-Atlanta Journal
 ....A square division on the silver question would make the canvass of 1896 interesting, but the silYerites are not as anxious for q division as they pretend to be. \ contest would reveal the weakness of the silver faction. and the knowledge of this is the very thing they want to keep from the publc.-- St. Louis Globe-Demoerat
 Statistics show that, so far from having just grievance in the silver question, the people of Colorado have been benefited by the status that it has assumed The number of men em- ploYed in the mines. mills aud smelters of that state is 26,359, as compared with %. .95f just before the panic of 1893 put aqaietus upon the silver boom, This IS gain of 15 per cent, and E due solely 10 the development of the gold mines of the state.-Chieago Post.
 Why should the friends of silver keep mp quasi-eonneetion with the old parties and conffne themselves to making speeches. Surely there has been enough of talk We desire to see the silver crowd, democrats, repuo- licans and populists, united together in one great argentiferous organization and the supporters of the 5o=cent dollar and the l0o-cent dollar to try concur slons In square and unambiguo9S campaign before the people.--Milwau- kee Sentinel.
 ....A paper devoted to the advocacy of silver monometal1ismq quotes aPproF. 3ngly from the Mining Industry ana Review the statement that "as matter ot fact there is practically no gold a' aIl in circulation in the United States and whether it is at q premium or ho' cuts very little figure in business 1ransactions.@ Why, then, do that i.hu other free silverite organs keep 'lp their standing howl to the effect that silver has been demonetized? Recen'- ly published statistics show for the principal countries of the world m az gregate circulation of s8.9G6,20o ,c99 ln gold and $4,056,o ,ooo, ,ood in silver, Whli0 the amounts of gold and silver in cn- cnlation in the United States are es. mated to be almost precisely eqepl. What foundation do these figures ets9 to the claim that silver has been as monetized s-Chicago Tribune.

FEMININE HEADGEAR.

 Spring Girl.

 Some of the Hats to Be Worn by ths
 Spring Girl.
 The preliminary display of spring millinery is out in full force, and, as usual when the advanced styles ap pear, there are all sorts of fantastic shapes and elaborate combinations of trimming, which will doubtless i'm prove as they are modified by good taste later
 There are large and small hats with futed brims and many colors mixed in the glossy straw braid, and others with chenille woven in to soften the effect; there are bonnets with wide ribbon strings tied under the chin, and the oId-fashioned poke bonnet in mod ern guise has appeared on the scene IL k very large, with the usual wide strings, and has already been launched on the first wave of fashion by some of the society women.
 Flowers are massed together in wide garlands around the crowns this sea. son. and wired to stand very high at the hack or side. Ribbon five or six inches wide .s used in the bows, which sometimes have seven or eight loops, and black and eolored ribbons often combined in one hat with loops of one in front and ot the other at the back With very few exceptions hats are worn well over the face. In addition to flow CTS, much talle. plaited chiffon and black lace net, with white applique de. signs, will be used in trimming, and also many white aisrettes.
 Brilliant green straw hats will be much worn in the early spring, and the trimmings will be garlanjs and punches of Drimulas in many and odd coiors. mixed with tulle and wing feathers Another trimming which is very effective is black net striped with poid-eolored straw, which stiiTens it enough to form pretty loops; and ehene ribbons with bright mixtures of color are hsed liberaIY. and in combination with talle and an aigrette of green Waves on one side. Green leaves and turquois blue tulle, formed into full rosettes, is one of the new combinations of color which requires an artistic mil liner to handle successfully. but it. is very stylish when properly arranged
 One Of the new toques is made of black lace and violets, which are just as fashionable as ever X hat of shirred black net is trimmed with scarf of net with white applique upon it, fastened on one side with a bunch of black feathers, while another of drawn chiffon has three frills of gray and white tulle around the crown and d bow of ribbon and an aigrette of silk peoples on either side.-Ghieago Tribune.

The tamest hunting in the world is sloth hunting, in comparison With which the pursuit of orchids is quito exciting, and turtle catching is wild and dangerous sport. But I have done my turn at if, nevertheless. Once on the mighty Essequibo river, in British Guiana, l took a native companion. 9 gun, an aN and a leaIly- canoe and set forth to round up lot of ehestnut- headed sloths. We padded about 39 miles that day and packed eight sloths. They were found by paddling along the shore and watching the treetops for things that looked like big gray spi- ders. Sometimes we found our sloth 'sp9ead-eagled1 on the outer branches of a tree; others would be hanging up side down but always eating They Yeaf go slowly that before one meal is over it is time for the next. Usually the gun would bring them down, but sometimes it was not necessary. Two were taken alive by Paulie. who climbed ur and pluclled them like so much fruit, and twice we had to cut down trecs.-Nii- liam T. Hornaday. in St Nicholas.

The Farm Laborer of the west.

The western laborer is his own em- blower. He is also his own landlord. These two facts constitute ideal inde. pendence; but there is also a prac- Lical side in his ease. From his ten or twenty acres, insured against failure by food or drought. first by aridity aud hen by irrigation, he can systematicai- y produce almost every item of food which his family consumes. The h. oorer who works for another cSpends ,he greater portion of his wage for these essentials.

THE BUGLE SOUNDS.

DR.. c. johnson says, In the Willmar
Tribune:
The ball is now open. The first big
gun in this money battle is fired. The
gold army has lost one-fourth, or posi-
bly, one-third of its soldiers. Re-align-
ment of political parties on the money
question is reality. The G. 0. P. party
wall is down and the stream is pouring
through the breech. The party is broken

o. P. John Lind, John Day Smith, F.
M. Nye, Lieut.. -Gov. Day, and a host too
numerous to mention, ditto.
But what especially concerns us as a
party is this That the Peoples party
movement is vindicated. The Peoples
party inaugurated this fight for the
money of the constitution, and we have
carried it on against all obstacles, until
we are on top. Do You hear, you down
hearted Populists. Get up and get the
cobweb off you, for now the bugle sounds
for an advance to victory! The help that
we have been waiting for, that we knew
must come sometime, has finally come.
We are the advance guard. the veterans
in human liberty and American freedom,
and must stay so, till the Napoleons Of
modern gold bug finance are exported be-
yond the sea-.
Some of our old Alliance men have
been discouraged for some time back.
We younger men in the cause are all your
children. Come on now! The ranks are
still open for you, and we need you to
march with us to victory.

A SPLENDID POEM.

Were half the power that fills the world
with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed on camps
and courts,
Given to redeem the human mind from
error,
There were no need of arsenals or forts.
The warrior 5 name would be a name alb
bored!
And every nation that should lift again
It's hand against a brother. on its fore>
head
Would wear forevermore the curse Of
Cain!
Down the dark future, through long gen.
erations.
The echoing sounds grow fainter and
then cease;
And like a bell, with solemn, sweet vfbra-
tons,
hear once more the voice of Christ say.
'.Peace!''
Peace! and no longer from its brazen por-
tails
The bias. of Wars great organ shakes
the skies!
But beautiful as songs Of the irnmorta.s
The holy melodies of love ARISE

According to the patent ONCE reports
there are 5,014 different kinds Of pat
ented beds and lounges on which tired
natures sweet reStorer, balmy sleep,y

In wearing apparel. Many Of them relate
to the method of cutting and fitting,
while others are concerned with peculiar
devices employed to strengthen the ma
terial in certain parts Of the garment.

The real issue, after all, is not free
siiver-it is the imperative need of
more money, a greater quantity OF the
circulating medium. Money is the
life blood Of business and prosperity
and to withdraw it, to permit any
syndicate or combination OF men to
possess the power to monOpolize, con-
trolIand contract 1t, is to enable them
to strangle business, to reduce prices,
to confiscate the property OF debtors
and to plunge all classes in ruin. Free
silver Is one OF the means to an end
it would help to relieve the situation
and re trievc disaster, bnt all the sill
yer and gold produced in America, il
coined into money, is not sufficient 10
meet he healthy demands Of bust
ness. It should be supple mented with
greenbacks as was done during the
war, when prices we're the best and
the people OF the North were the
most prosperous OF any time in the
history Of tho government.- ALBERT
