The result of Mr.. Butts deductions is to tho
effect that whenever this country goes upon a
free coinage basis the laboring classes will be
the ones to suffer. There has never been

promised by the silver men has come to PASS.
Wages are lower and living higher.
1t is accurately estimated says Mr.. Butt
I" that the high grade laborer in Mexico receives
only one-scventh of what the same grade is paid
in the United States. Labor there has remained
stationary, despite tho increase of capital in the
hands of the minc owner and manufactures.
Increased wrctchedness has followed tho free
and unlimited coinage of silver. Taxes have
been doubled on the very class that can least
afford TO pay them, in order that foreign debts
may he paid in gold. None of those benefits
which the silver men arc now promising 10 tue
American workmen from silver have fallen
upon the un fortunate working classes in Mex

"Thc conclusion reached is that there is no
substantial ground for the claim that Mexico,
which has fully tested free coinage, has received
any of the benefits which are claimed for it In
the United States"

Bryan. Senator Wilson served in the SD

other day Senator Wilson addressed the Re.

A NOBLE SURGEON.

He Saved Patients Life at the Peril of
lis Own.
A certain London hospital has on its
staff OF physicians one man at least
whose beroism has been demonstrated,
and his cOrpselike pallor and faltering
gait. although he is in his prime, bear
daily witness to this fact.
"It happened ten years ago." said
one Of the hospital clerks in telling the
story, ''just after the doctor became q
visiting surgeon here. A woman was
brought in suffering from a eancerous
growth that must in the end prove fa-
tai. The house surgeon in charge, a
young man. advised an immediate oper-
alton, and I've and his assistants were IN
the midst of it when tho visiting sur
geOn arrived.
"a student was handling the knife
and had laid bare tho life destroying
cause.
Careful, careful exclaimed the
visiting surgeon as the student dexter
ously cut the flesh. If you sever that
artery, she may die under the knife.
1.-THE warning came late, the knife
had slit the artery. and the blood leap
ed into the wound.
The visiting surgeon had o small
cut on his forefnger. To seize the ar
terry so AS to stop the flow of blood
would necessarily bring the cut in con-
tact with the baeilli of cancer. A mo-
ment's delay, Oh the other hand, meant,
perhaps, the wOmaD's death.
Without IN instaDt's hesitation the
surgeons trained fingers had gripped
the artery, which he held firmly until
it could be ligatured. 1t prolonged the
woman's life few months, " continued
the narrator. "bnt the poison got into
the DOCTORS system. and he lay at the
point Of death for weeks. "-Pittsburg

THE BATTLE OF THE NILE.
Nelson Said It Was Conquest, Not
Mere Victory.

Nelson Said It Was a Conquest, Not a
More Victory.
Eleven out of 13 French ships of the
line had been taken or destroyed and
two Of the four frigates 1t was not a
victory; it was conquest So wrote
Nelson regarding it. 1t is unnecessary
here 10 speak of the titles and rewards
which were sh6wered on the victor. It
is of more real interest to consider the
true Significance of tho victory, the
sense i'll which it could lie said to be O
conquest In England we have too
much accustomed ourselves to look on
it merely as the most brilliant of sea
fights, and in France il has been spoken
Of as a reverse indeed, but one which
cannot cloud the splendor of the battle
of the Pyramids. None the less, it was
the conquest of Egypt; it was the isola-
tiOn and virtual imprisonment of the
French army.
Bonapartc understood this from the
first, and after vain and hopeless cam-
paigu i'll Syria-hopeless against the
power which commanded the communi-
cations by sea-he made All ignOminious
flight, leaving Kleber to get the army
out of the mess i'll which he had put it.
Nelson, too, understood it and wrote ON
Aug. IL: THE French army is in a
scrape. They are up the Nile without
supplies. The inhabitants will allow
nothing to pass by land, nor II. N. by
water. Their army is wasting with the
fiux, and not 1000 men will ever re-
turn TO Europe" And some months
later, March %, 1899, he wrote: "The
ambassador Of Bonaparte has been in
tercepred by TBOubridge on his way to
ConstantinOple. and among other arti-
Cles of his instructions is an offer to en-
ter on terms for his quitting Egypt with
his army. This offer is what have long
expected the glorious battle of the Nile
wOlld produce, but it was my deter
minatiOn from that moment never, if I
could help it. to permit single French
man to quit Egypt. re Egypt they went
with their own consent, and there they
shall remain while Nelson commands

rhe Swiss parliament.

"A parlianent at which the discus.
sicIis are carried ON in three different
languages is probably unique.
The country where this singular fact
occur is we'll known to English tourists
-viz. Switzerland. But few, believe,
have ever had an occasion to be present
at the sitting Of Swiss parliament.
The language spoken By the mem
bers are french, Italian and German.
Italian, true, is not as often employed
as the other two, the members for Tes-
sin, canton in the south, very often
delivering their speeches in French. As
almost every educated Swiss speaks
French and German, members are there
fore able to understand each others
speeches, although spoken i'll different

1t also often happens that when a
French speaking member wishes to
