On last Tuesday night in
Eastern Iowa, Southern Wis
consin, Northern Illinois and
Western Indiana, a black
snow, a novel scene, fell to
the depth of two inches.
Though the flakes were crys-
tai and fleecy, garments ex-
posed to the snow presented
the appearance of having
been covered with dust and
then sprinkled with water.
The weather bureau officials
have given no satisfactory
explanation as to the cause
of the strange phenomena.

that are now unfairly protec-

SINCE the commencement

SINCE the commencement
of the nineteenth century
there has been great achieve
ments in science. Prior to
1900, the cities of the world
were lighted by candles and
lamps; railroads and steam
boats were then not factors
In transportation. 1t is there
fore only necessary to behold
the great mogul engines as
they bear along ponderous
weights, the steamboat as it
rides the waves carrying
many tons of merchandise,
and cities brilliantly lighted
by electricity to realize what
has been accomplished by the
genius of man in less than a
century. But fitting climax
to the close of this century
is the recent discovery of Pro-
lessor Roentgen of Germany
in the reproduction of an
object through Opaque screens
by hitherto unknown rays.

cry lead pencils are photo

thereof. The recent discov-
cry will be of incalculable
benefit to the medical frater-
nifty in locating diseases and
objects that iniuriously af-
feet the human system. In
deed no age has ever witness
ed such wonderful strides in
the scientific world in sol
short a time.

There is but little change in the
senatorial contest before the Ken
lucky Legislature. Blackburn and
Hunter are running neck and neck.
Both lack only a few votes of reach
ing the desired end, but neither so
far have been able to secure these
votes. Those who are familiar
with the contest for United States
Senator from Kentucky, know that
a portion of the sound money repre-
sentatives of democracy have refus-
ed to vote for Blackburn, on &C
count of his financial views. They
did not 60 into the caucus, and do
not feel bound to him. They hon.
estly believe that Blackburn is the
cause of the defeat of democracy in
Kentucky at the last election; that he
influenced Wat Hardin to disregard
the platform upon which he was
nominated for governor and to adj
vocate free silver, for his BLACK
burn's) own personal benefit.
Blackburn has recently allowed
some of his supporters in the leg
islature to write to Mr.. Carlisle and
to request him to intercede with the
sound money element in his BLACK
burn's) behalf, Notwithstanding the
fact that Blackburn has traduced and
slandered Mr.. Carlisle, and all 9TH
ers who advocate sound money,
from one end of Kentucky to the
other. But Mr.. Carlisle very wise
ly refused to interfere. He claims
that he has nothing whatever to do
with the members of the Ken
lucky legislature-that they are re-
sponsible alone to their constituents
for their acts. Blackburn's pur-
pose is to return to the Senate, and
it seems he does not care what meth
dds are resorted to in order to &C.
complish his purpose. Blackburn
has shown the "white feather"

his neighbors would not
adopt the policy of advoca-
ting that all debts contracted
should be compromised at
so cents on the dollar or at
any sum less than the full
amount of the obligations.
But Notwithstanding tina
fact, cheap money is demand
ed. The ,lenanders of q
cheap currency admit that
this country has mad gold a.
the standard since 1873. 1t is
therefore evident that all
debts, not barred by the stat
ute of limitation, and due by
individuals were contract
ed since 1873. If it is an un-
just principle to advocate
the payment of a debt at less
than the face value, it is GER
tainly neither just nor right
to pay a debtor in cheap
money that will not purchase
the same amount of property
sold or that will not buy as
much as money loaned. The
democratic party has never
ceased to condemn the repub-
lican party for enhancing the
purchasing power of money,
which is as deserving OF con-
demnation as to now depre-
ciate the purchasing power
since business transactions
have been made with the
purchasing power the same
as at present. "Two
wrongs never make a
right. 1t would be now
equally as unjustifiable
for the democratic party to
depreciate the standard as
was the act of the republican
party in approaching the
same. Indeed to compel a
man to cancel one-half oil an
obligation under the pres
ent standard is illegal robbery
while to so disarrange
the currency as to make le-
gal tender a kind Of money
that wouldpurchase only one
half as much as that loaned
would be legalized robbery.
Not only would a cheap
currency affect injurious
ly the creditors, but the
thousands Of wage earners Of
the country would feel its
evil effects, for it is evident
that the wages of the laborers
in the gold standard coun-
tries are greater than where
silver is the standard, or in
other words, the wages paid
laborers where silver is the
standard will not purchase as
much as where gold is the
standard. 1t is hardly pro-
bable that the thousands of
laborers of the United States
will support a measure that
is known to be disadvanta-
geous to their interest. But
it is claimed by some Of the
free silver advocates that to
coin the two metals at the
ratio of 16 to l would not
cheaper money. If that be
true, free coinage would not
increase the price of products,
for in order for the standard
to affect the price Of pro-
ducts either way, its purcha-
sing power of necessity must
either be increased or de-
creased. Unless free coin
age would depreciate the stan
dard and thereby decrease its
purchasing power, the debtor
class would receive no benefit
