BY the demoDetization OF SILVER its
demand for use as money was reduced
and has now nearly ceased. This lack
OF demand has cut its price rs bull
lion in two. This fact would be of less
Importance were II not that silver con-
tinueS and must continue the basis for
money for most of South America, Mex

tions where labor has always been too
cheap. Many OF these nations compete
in the English markets with us Ia pro-
duction Of wheat, cotton. meats, etc.
And some. rs the Japanese, are be-
ginning TO compete in manufactures,
even in our own territory.
The bullion value of silver. now only
half what II was previous TO 1879, aud
not much over half what II was In lSa0,
is the basis of comparison with English
money or with our money. In other
words, q dollar on the gold basis will
now purchase about two dollars on the
silver basis.
This virtually doubles the chc1pness
OF labor In silver standard countries
and makes II twice as hare, 10 compete

silver dollar in those countries has the

McClure's Magazine for June.

McClures Magazine for June contains a
little battle study by Stephen Crane that,
in its way, is more dramatic and striking
than even "The Red Badge of Courage,
the novel By Mr Crane which is now at
tracing so much attention both in Americs
and England. 1t shows, Enthusiastically.
the band Of genius. While presenting
with the strictest realism all the gIimness
Of war, il is pleasant, and even humorous,
in the denouement. Another bit of most
distinguished fiction in the same number
j. RudyaTd Kipliug's "In the Rukh"-
ore OF Kipling's earlier stories, but also
one Of his best, relating how that ever
entertaining orphan Of the Jungle, MOwgli,
made acquaintance with white men and
became lover. Add to these Cy War
mans marvellous true tale of The Loco
motive that Lost Herself" and an in
stallment OF Anthony Hopes "Phroso"
fairly bursting with love and adventure,
and certainly, on the side CT fiction at
least, this number of McClure's would be
hard to approach, All of these pieces
have the added attraction OF good pictures
The Crane story is illustrated by Taber,
who puts life the action into soldier as
almost 40 other artist can; and the Kipling
story by w. A. G. Pape, who has made
Mowgli and the Jungle People peculiarly
his own
The Lincoln paper in this number ex-
hibits Lincoln (maiDly by new remiri-
scence and anecdotel as father. friend,
aud neighbor, on his return to the practice
of the law at Springfield, after serving a
term in Congress. IL is extremely inter
esting. And interesting in the same way,
as afording perfectly fresh, near, inform
al view Of the real man, is an account OF
General Grant, with anecdotes and pas
ssges from his conversations, by the man
who served as chaplain Of Grants own
regiment.

Railroad Talk.

A determined effort, says the Pittsburg
Times, is being made to have the projected
Butler and Pittsburg railroad take the Bull
creek route by prominent people of Tare1-
tum and vicinity, headed by Col. r. A
Travis and 7. p. FleesoL A short discus
sion was had with Chairman J. II. Reed on
the matter early last week, and Satur lay
a long conference, attended by large
number Of boomers, was held in Chairman'E
Reeds office. The boomers presented a
number of reasons which in their minds
make the route the most advantageous
one, and the matter was entered into with
great detail The delegation was assured
that the route would be carefully examined
before anything definite as 20 the fixing oi
the final route would be done. Within a
few days Chief Engineer f. L. House will
take the field with a corps OF assistants
and thoroughly examine the Bull creek
route.
The Bull creek route will bring the road
out on the Allegheny river at Tarentum,
and il parallel with the Deer creek and
Thorne creek routes, alrc4dy partially sur
yeyed. The Tarentum people claimed that
the road could be built cheaper and oper-
ated at less expense here than over any o.
the routes so far considered. They claim
the grades 10 be overcome are much les'
steep, and made this point an especially
strong one in their argument, as the ques
ton Of grades has been the main stumbling
block in the way OF all the other routes
The Bull creek route will bring the road
out on the Allegheny further east thar
the other routes, and it is claimed will re
suit in much larger freight tonnage thar
could be secured by taking either the Dee
creek or the ThCrne creek routes.
Engineer House had gone over the Dee
creek and Thorne creek routes end Wa
ready to make his report to the directors
but the appearance Of the Tarentum dele
CATION has delayed this. Owing to thi
fact, the submission Of plans to the con
tractors, intended TO he done today, vii
be delayed.

PARK THEATRE.
SHORE ACRES, MAY, 90.

James A. Herne's beautiful comedy
drama, "Shore Acres" will be given a
costly scenic production at the Park
Theatre, Friday, May %.
This interesting play. which made such
a pronounced hit here lost season, has
been compared by Hamlin Garland, author
Of "M ain Travelled Roads, to a poem by
Whitcomb Kiley. Like Riley's poem,
"Shore Acres" expresses by indirection.
as common folks do in life. 1t expresses
sorrow, not by direction, but by the chok-'
ing voice and by "the trimble in the chin,'
and its humor IL spontaneous and native
to the groups from which it proceeds in
utterance. Laughing abounds and some
thing sweet and solemn runs through the
whole story. 1t has repose in it's action.
The actors come and 20 carelessly or
busily, like living figures. There is no
"center Of the stage" no declam ations, no
asides, no soliloquIes, almost nothing to
make against verify. 1t has no william, no
no wronRed woman, no hero, no highfalu-
tin speech in its entire length; nobody il
killed, nobody falls down cellar with a
piano; and yet the play has achieved re-
markable success. This is the fifth season
for the play and Mr.. Herne feels confident
that IL will continue TO please for many
y ,ars TO come. The company engaged to
appear in "Shore Acres" is the same, with
one exception, az that seen here Last sea
son. Archie Boyd has been engaged tc
