WHY HE LEAVES HIS PARTY.
An Old-Time Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverites.


Mr.. Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia,
lifelong democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as presidential
elector on the democratic ticket.
Among other reasons for his action he
gave the following:
1t is merely paltering with the truth
to pretend to acquiesce in the expert
ment of trying 10 make the product of
a days labor in silver mine worth
two or five times as much as the product
of days labor in gold or an iron
mine. At the present time the results
of days work in one occupation are
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other. To affiS
an artificial value upon silver ore Is G
dishonest and unjust discrimination
against every other form of industry,
and when it Is done by calling ii a legal
tender IL Is done at the expense OF
every class in the community except
the money lenders and the money
changers.
With currencies OF different value in
circulation, the money lenders always
thrive at the expense Of the people, and
tho debtor must suffer more than the
wage Garner. 1t was q fayorite saying
of Lord Palmerston that high rate OF
interest meant bad security, and the
owner of money must charge for the
risk If there is chance that when he
lends O bar of gold he may be forced
to take payment in bar of silver, just
as the owner of a horse will hesitate to
lend it with a chance of being given in
return a sheep or pig. That Is all
there Is in bimetallism as practical
question as between the lender and the
borrower, and, 50 stated, it ought to be
easy to understand why, until it is
stated, hundreds of millions of capital
are lying idle which would be at the
service of the south and west II they
were willing to give back what they
got.

A Jewish Wedding Feast.

There were great many people COM

of the wise Rabbi Isaac Ben Nassur.
They were not all Cana people. by any
means. The bridal feast was spread
in the large front room opening upon
the porch, and all who had a right to
enter were welcomed heartily. Food
was plcntfully provided, but the mer-
riest hour of each day would be after.
sunset, when, the days work being
done, all the invited guests would
come. The bridegroom was continual
ly present, to receive congratulations
and good wishes. With him were sew
eral young men of his more intimate
friends; but decidedly the most impor-
tant figure in that room was Isaac
himself. AS master of the house and
as ruler of the feast, he sat Mt the
head of the long table provided for
the occasion. His dress was as simple
as ever, but it seemed to have under
gone change, he wore with SO grand
an air. lie appeared to be happy, and
he received great respect from the
throng of people who came to congrat-
ulate him upon the marriage OF his son.
So the marriage feast went on until the
midday was past and the shadows be-
gan to lengthen III the streets OF Cana.

"Every time I come to the United
States" said Mr.. Hugh Jamison, OF Lon
don. England, 81 find fresh cause for as
tonishmcnt in the marvellous energy OF
the Yankee nation. 1t seems to me that
the people work on this side for the
sake of work, they appear to regard 1t
not as q means to an end, but the end
itself. This universal rush and hurry
impresses itself very forcibly on Eu-
ropeans. Some years ago was visit
ing friend in Russia, which is very
quiet country indeed, and, the conversa-
ton turning on London, some one re-
marked upon the unccasing activity
and press in the British capital, and how
the people hurried along the street dur
ing the busy hours of the day. An Old
Russian thereupon, with grave shake
of his head, observed that he had been IN
London once, and that nearly all it's cit
liens were mad I wonder what this
old gentleman would have thought If he
had ever made a pilgrimage to Chicago?
Now, it is questionable in my mind
whether this traffic pace is healthy
thing for a people. Isn't it the pace
that kills? Why not leave something
for succeeding generations to do? Your
rich men, instead of settling on big
country estates and helping to improve
the rural districts, seem to all cluster in
the cities, and to continue adding to
their fortunes. The mania for work, for
active endeavor, seems never to leave
them, and their children inherit the
same tendencies."- s."--Washington Post

THE WICkEDNEsS OF sLEEPlNG.
Some Of tho Notions Which We're Enter
tained Years Ago.


tained Years Ago.
That idea was almost dominant in re-
ligious society GO years ago, and some
times assumed forms which, if not
ridiculous, were at least quaint. 1t
was, for instance, held to be wrong
for any but the aged to sit III easy
chairs, not, as is now vainly imagined,
from any ignorant idea as to the in-
jury done to the figure, but because
"lolloping" betrayed blameworthy
tendency to ease and self-indulgence.
That was the origin also of the eXtraor-
dinary prejudice against taking any
extra sleep. The old knew well Gat
sleep, when sleep is not needed, is to
the young the most wearisome of all
obedience, but nevertheless they be-
1ieved that 70 wish to sleep more than
strictly regulated time, which, ac-
cording to modern hygeists, was too
short, was a mark of sluggish self-in-
diligence, and it was visited, therefore,
with moral reprobation.
EARLY rising was extravagantly
praised, not because it heightened the
day, for the early risers went to bed
early, but because it was disagreeable;
ond some curious rules of diet--for eX-
ample, abstinence from sugar-were
defended in part upon the same prin-
ciple. We have known girls cut off
their curls avowedly because they we're
proud of them, and men go about in
shabby clothes, because, as they
overred and believed, it was we'll by
diminishing comfort to promote Sc
rious refection.-London Spectator.

Money In Dreams.

Here is "a strange true tale" with
the scene in Georgia, near the flourish
ing town of Covington: A few years
ago u negro woman living near Coving-
ton lost a son, by death. a week or so
ago the woman had dream in which
the son appeared to her and told her
that if she would go to a certain corner
of the house and dig she would find
fat rock, underneath which she would
find lot of silver money. The woman
awoke and was so much wrought up
over the vision that she aroused some
Of the family aud went at once to the
designated spot and began to dig.
Soon the fiat rock was reached and re-
moved with trembling hands and high
expectation. A small box was re-
vealed; this was taken out and opened,
and, to the wonder aud astonishment
of all present, it contained 80 silver
dollars.-Atlanta Constitution.

Wsshington's odd street Names.

In examining the directory, one can
not help but notice the confusion of
names of streets and alleys and courts.
For instance, there are four Pleasant
alleys in Washington, two Pleasant
streets and Pleasant Plains thrown in.
There are six Prospect streets, hills.
alleys and courts in various parts of the
town, and Prospect hills are as numer-
Gus out in the District as Fairview
school houses are out in Indiana.
Washington has six Washington high
ways, including the alleys of that
name. Coming down to alleys alone,
there is o simplicity about the names
Of them that is certainly refreshing.
While the people of Washington are
quarreling as to whether the name of
one of it's streets is Stoughton or
staughton, they have allowed some of
the alleys to be named as follows: Pigs
foot alley, Cabbage alley, Louise alley,
Zigzag alley, Truck alley, Pig alley,
two of them; Cow alley, Fighting alley,
Bood alley, Tincup alley and so on
