Find Your Places.

Every human being, hover
small and Insignificant, has a
place to fill and a great work to
do that no one else can do for
him.
There is always some aching
brow that we can soothe; some
rugged pathway to be made
more easily to travel; some
heavy burden that we can as
sist our fellow traveller in car
rying up the hill of life, and
some dark life, that is bowed
down In grief and dispair, that
we can brighten.
Every one has his place and
vacation and it rests with hims
self to find it.
Be new, in every sense Of the
word; find your places and go
to work. for life at best is short
and what we do must be done
now, for tomorrow may be too
late. Honest, true men, are
what the world wants today
and "pretension is always de-
spicable," it matters not from
whom it comes.

Pertinent Politics.

Since the days when the Tri.

for the spoils of Empire between
the factions Of Caesar, Brutus, and
the Tribunes wrecked the gov.
ernment, and left Nero to play
its sad requiem over the holocast
ts its burning greatness, on q dis
cordant fiddle, has there been so
much Of dangerous political per.
fidy in a government as exist
here today. But when the sit.
ting sun bids good night to the
American people on election day
in November, the darkness which
follows will not obscure the evil
deeds Of those whose greed and
se,fishness has been the country's
ruin. With the growing Of the
cock and the rising Of another
days sun, all will be made as
clear as the rays Of a mid day can
make possible, aud The verdict Of
the judge-the great American
people, will be depart From Me,
Ye Accused, into Everlasting

Adversely hath her uses. How

Blame was for Silver.

GNsf1 Nes tst @|ttN<ts
In 1880 James G.. Blaine, then
a United States Senator from
Maine. made a speech in the
Senate which clearly defined
his position on the monetary
question. He was in favor of
silver being put back on a equal
with gold, An extract from his
speech is as follows:
"0n the much vexed and long
mooted question as TO bimetal-
lie and monometalic standard
my own views are sufficiently
indicated in the remarks / have
made. ! believe the struggle
now going on in this country
and in other countries Tor single
gold standard would, ifsuccess-
full, produce wide spread disaster
In aud throughout the CONNER
cial world. The destruction of
silver money, and establishing
gold as the sole unit Of value,
must have a ruinous effect on all
forms Of property except those
investments which yield q fixed
return in money. Those would be
enormously enhanced in value
and would gain q disproportion-
ate and unfair advantage over
every other species of property.
II, as the most reliable statistics
affirm, there are nearly 5000
1000 Of coin or bullion In the
world, very equally divided be-
tween gold and silver, il is i'm.
possible 70 strike silver out of
existence as money without re-
suits which will prove Distress
ing to millions and utterly dis
astrous to teas Of thousands.
Il believe gold and silver coin
10 be the money Of the Consti-
tuition; indeed, the money Of the
American people anterior to the
Constitution, which the great
organic Law recognized as quite
independent Of It's own existence.
No power was conferred on Con-
gress TO declare either metal
should not be money, Congress
has, therefore. in my judgment,
no power 10 demonetize either.
If, therefore, silver has been de-
monetized, l am in favor Of re-
monetizing il. II its coinage has
been prohibited, I am In favor
Of ordering II 10 be resumed. ~
