People never grow tired of parrbt sto-
RES. and perhaps the chief charm of
these tales is that they SAVIOR so much of
supernatural wisdom on the part of these
quaint birds, says the Chicago Record.
There Is a recent story of a writer who
was sitting at his desk in the dusk of
the evening Stuck for a word. He
thought out loud and expressed his dis
gust at not being able to think of the
word which would fit in. Just then from
the c2rner Of the room came a. low re-
mark from his parrot: We'll, then, say
damn --~--~-
Just why parrots learn to swear easier
than they learn other phrases can only
be explained by inherent wickedness. MI
merous are the tales of lost birds of
virtuous training that have been restored
TO their owners with a choice and vivid
vocabulary which they steadily refused
to moderate. The late Chief Justice
Cockburn OF England used to delight in
relating the story of the parrot which
was brought into court before him and
observed, with a sideWise cock of its
head that the chief justice was a hoary-
headed old imposter." When a parrot
says: Scratch Polp' and bends its gray
neck for the operation or remarks that IL
wants sugar and delights in the forth
coming sweet il is impossible to believe
that the bird has not brain enough to
comprehend the result that will follow the
words.
At the north of England show one of
the prizes for parrots was TO be award
ed the bird which made the cutest re-
mark. Each cage was to be uncovered
and the judges were on hand to take
down the first words which fell from the
assembled pollies' beaks. After num-
Der Of ordinary phrases one large gray
parrot brought down the house and in
cidentally secured the prize by surveying
the scene calmly and growing: Dear
me! What an internal lot of parrots

a pitiful story of a stranded life. The
writer had been called TO the bar hop

bench, even II he did not reach the wool

little money. No business came ais
way BUS he held on through lone
years, patiently hoping that some day
his chance would come. Now he was
sick, probably unto death, and had no
money to buy food or mesScine.
A remittance was promptly sent and
gratefully acknowledged. At the END
of a fortnight II occurred to the Q. c.
and NJ. p. to call on the sick man and
see what more he might do to help him.

who opened the door, whereat, bursting

was too late. Her husband had died

modern times. Thirty-one years after

and only succumbed at last through sheer
exhaustion. With hearts broken and
homes destroyed they laid down their arms
only to face years Of political persecu-
ton. Tens of thousands of them passed
through these fearful ordeals. and hold
ing off their would-be oppressors with
one hand and struggling for their daily
bread with the other, they have lived TO
see the country for which they sacrificed
so much, prosperous and happy and a
power in the restored union.
1t IS a happy day for the south and the
veterans when they can gather from the
north and the south, the east and the

The Trn-rhIrd. Rule.

Gov. Alieeld Of Illinois. VINO leads the
Illinois delegation al Chicago. has taken
steps for the abrogation Of the two-thirds
rule. Al a caucus % his delegation on
Tuesday De made a strong speech against
81. bis main reason for opposing ID being
that it IS IN his opinion. undemocratic-
Is Gov. AItseld capable OF judging what
IS democratlce There appear 70 be sew
eraI things IN democratic doctrine and
democratic usage which he does not re-
gard as democratic. This two-thirds rule
was adopted by a democratic convention
before he came % this country. in fact
before he was born. and 90 has been the
rule OF almost every democratic conven-
ton since its adoption. VIII democrats.
even though they are silverites,
consent TO the abrosation Of this
time honored rule at the d.ctation OF one
who. in many respects. Is more ia sym
pathy with some Of the extreme views
which are taught in the country from
which DE came than ne is with the Gus
toms and institutions OF the country
which DE has adopted? Gov. Altgeld IS
not an admirable character ia some inn
portant respects. His sincerity .n the
course DE is pursuing IS open 10 question.
j has been announced many times. and
never denied so far as we know. that
he requires that all contracts for the pay
ment Of money to him shall be gold con
tracts. II he IS such n firm believer IN
silver. why IS # that he insists that all
money TO be paid 10 him at some future
time shall be gold?
His conduct during the great railroad
strike n couple OF years ago will not soon
be forgotten. He would have allowed
the rioters to tie up the railroads for an
indefinite period If he had been permitted
to have his way. No one can tell what
would have been the outcome Of that riot
If tho President had not interfered and
put a stop to IT.
The sEverites are very anxious to
have two-thrds majority in the Chi
cago convention, but we are inclined to
believe that they have too great regard
for democratic precedents to follow Gov.
Altgelds advice and set aside rules
and usages which have command
ed the approval Of the best
and ablest of tho democratic
leaders Of the past and Of the present
and for the wisdom Of which there exists
the amplest evidence. We do not believe
that Gov Altgeld will be permitted tC
say what Is or what is not democratic. i
he attempts TO arrogate to himself toe
much authority he will be pushed TO the
rear unceremonlously and we are not sur,
but that the country would be the gamer +
he and such men as he were forced int
that position and kept there. Their lead
ership has nothing in it that promises wei
for the future Of the country.

Where 1t Would Go.
From the New York World Dem1

To the warning of the true bimetallists
that free silver coinage at Is to l by this
government alone would drive gold out
of use as money, and so cause a disas-
trous contraction, shallow critics sheer
ingly as: Where would the gold go to?''
1t would go where 1t went during the
war time-either abroad or into hiding or
into vaults as a commodity for specula-
tive gambling.
1t would go where gold has gone in ev-
cry free coinage country in the world
out of sight and out of use either as cur
rency or as the reserve for banks.
Gold is now in general use as currency
in the Pacific states. 1t is held by. the
government and by bank in all parts of
the country as a reserve to sustain the
circulation of greenbacks and treasury
notes and TO maintain the bank credits.
1t serves perfectly its function as money.
When IL goes to a premium it will no
longer do this.
Free coinage means silver monometal-
ism.

Cotton, wheat and silver.
From Louisville Courier-Journal Dem

Those deluded people who believe that
the price of cotton and wheat goes hand
in hand with the price of silver are in
vited to think a moment Cotton has been
failing for months. though the silver agi-
tation has twice in two weeks advanced
the price of silver certificates to TO- the
highest point reached for years. Last
Wednesday September wheat was five
cents lower than it was the same day last
year, when, according to the calamity
howlers. we were writhing in the grip
of the gold ring. 1t ought not to be for
gotten also that in January 1895, wheat
fell six cents buBhel with the exhaus-
ton of the gold reserve, but gained
twenty cents when 1t was found that the
syndicate could keep the treasury's re-
serve intact. These are stubborn facts
altogether at variance with the pernicious
theory that one part of the population
can flourish and another decline The en-
tire industrial population must move to-
gether. There may be individual eNcep-
tions, but this is true as a whole.
