Third Terms Denounced.
Others Points,

The platform adopted by the
Chicago convention makes an I'M
conditional demand for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. Follow
is the plank embodying this de-
mand:
1--WE demand the Immediate re-
sumption of the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the
present legal ration of 10 TO |, with
out waiting for the consent and aid
of anv other nation. We demand
that the present standard silver dol
lar shall be full legal tender of equal
parity with gold for all debts, pub
lie and private and we demand the
repeal of all acts favoring the is
suance of currency by private con-
Germs. We are opposed to the prac-
tice of surrending to the holders OF
obligations Of the United States the
option by the government Of redeem
ing such obligations in golg or silver
COIN"
Other planks of the platform,
briefly stated, comprise the follow

government be economically admin
istered. Condemns the Mckinley
law and opposes any further changes
in the tariff, except such as are ne

caused by the annulment of the in

stitutional amendment permitting
the levy of an income tax.
Opposes Immigration of foreign

Gladness Comes

yIyith a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentlc efforts-pleasaDt efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated eondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by ali
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
ORGANS on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

A few weeks ago ! was watching
the crowds in that favorite resort OF
London, Hyde Park. The other end
OF the bench on which sat was oc-
cupied by two persons, evidently
lovers and evidently both Of humble
position in society. They manifested
supreme satisfaction in each other
but were none the less an ill-as
sorted couple. The girl hada bright
attractive face and was neatly and
tastefully dressed The young man
was heavy and loutisb-looling, with
shabby and dirty clothes which hung
on him as if first intended forsome
one else Though seemingly indif-
ferent to the rest Of the world, they
conversed in low tones, audible only
to themselves; and the girl did most
Of the talking. As she ended an
apparently. long sentence, she ex-
claimed: That's what Longfellow
says. The young man likewise
raised his voice and in surly, half
jealous way inquired: Who's this
long Teller yer been talking about?"
The girl replied: Hes great
poet;" aud her companion gave a
grunt Of relief.
The next day told the story to
the editor OF one of the principal
London weeklies. He remarked: "a
stranger can hardly have an idea Of
how familiar many Of our working
people, especially women, are with
Longfellow. Thousands can repeat
some Of his poems who have never
read a liue of Tennyson, and proba-
bly, never heard OF Browning. That
girl was trying to educate her brute
I up to her standard. Then he went
on to say that during the last 30
hyears no other writer in English had
so reached the human heart of all
classes as had Longfellow. Edwin

POWER OF CONCENTRATION

Men of intellectual greatness have
almost invariably possessed the
power of concentration Dante,
when his mind was occupied by a
train of thought, was obivious to
outside events. One day. when a
great procession was parading
through the streets, the poet took
up a volume at bookshop and be-
gan reading it. The procession
passed, with all its noise and splen-
dor, but Dante saw nothing, Of it.
His eyes had been on the page be-
fore him, his thoughts with the au-
thor of the book. It is NATTER of
legitimate history that Mrs. Stowe
wrote Uncle Toms Cabin" in the
midst of domestic interruptions.
Nine. Roland's Memoirs were
composed under the most trying
circumstances. Being herself in
prison, she heard constantly from
the adjoining cells the cries of vic
tins whom the executioners were
dragging forth to the guillotine.
Cowper once described himself as
working amidst chaos of inter-
ruptions," one friend spouting Greek
and another talking to them both.
Concentration, like any other men
tai habit, may be acquired by those
who are not naturally possessed Of
it. It's attainment is well worth a
severe course of mental discipline,
since the habit once established
counts among the labor-saving ma
chinery of the mind. 1t enables its
possessor to accomplish an intellec-
tual task in a shorter time than that
given to it by the man of slovenly
mental habits, and with an expendi-
ture of less zigzag, tiresome effort.

Think of common gas pipe max
ing better protection for prison win
dows and doors than bars of hard
ened steel! The pipes, however, are
filed with water under high pres,
sure, and are connected with an in
dicator in the prison Office. Then
if a pipe is severed, the indicator
records the fact instantly, and tells
the exact point of attack. This
beats the best work Of the steel
maker, for convicts manage to draw
the temper from case hardened bars
and saw them like putty. A test Of
the new system at Boston gave good
results, but it seems surprising that
some system Of electric protection,
similar to that applied to safes, has
not been made use of in prisons gen.
orally to accomplish the same result
in a simpler manner.

Numbering the many occasions on
which he had referred to that au-
gust position in anything but com
plimep tary Language. He had the
greatest admiration for Tennyson,
aud bis hatred Of the laureateship
was intensified because, as remem-
Der his saying, it had been respon-

Of the publication of one of Tenny-
sons official odes. On another oc-
casion, when some official verses
came from Tennysons pen in con-
nection with some forthcoming cere-
monial-I think it swas the opening

queen, and the verses were headed
written by the request of the
prince Of Wales"-Morris sugges ted
that among the decorations to be
given away on the occasion there
should be "a pair of crimson plush
