Senator WIN. Il. Chandler, of New

n gentlemen in California. asking Ills
opinion OF the "crine of "a" writes
letter which concludes ns follows.
mot until 1903 were Englaud's In
dia mints closed TO silver coinag, :,
and not until September -, 1896, in
Maine did Secretary Carlisle pro.
claim the obligation Of the United
States to reclaim every silver dollar
Oh demand with the gold dollar.
What the complete effect will be of
this wholly plotting out all the silver
coin Of the world as money of final
redemption and measuring the
worlds value only by the $4,000,
100000 of the worlds gold coin now
in existence, remains to be seen. l
think it will be ruinous TO debtors
and owners Of real estate and per
sonGl chattels. Money lenders may
reap a harvest. 1t does not seem to
me to be worth while to denounce
anybody for the thoughtless legisla
tion of 1873. The wise course will
be after McKinley's election to work
earnestly. without cripination or re-
elimination. to SECURE the remoetiza
ton of silver and the restopatiun of
bimetallism.'
Jno. Sherman said in the Senate
some years agoI
"To adopt the gold standard alone
and demonetize silver would be to
deprive the poor people of the
worll of money which alone meas
ures the value of their productions,
and their labor
again:
"Gold alono is not enitable for a
currency, because it will not measure
the daily wants of the great mass of
mankind"
atill more:
"The utter ruin that would come
to mankind, especially to tho poorer
nations, by the entire decentralization
of silver cannot be estimated by US.
Take one half Of the sound money
of the world out of existence, take
the sole standard of more than two
thirds of the human race, reduce it

Elevated Back Yards.

Some of the second floor dwcllers of
fremont enjoy advantages Of which the
occupants Of the first floors are deprived
In many parts of that district the
dwelling houses are built adjoining.
Some of these houses are erected after
the cheapest plans possible, and in many
instances the owners refuse to bear the
expenses Of having hills behind them
cut down.
By this fact the occupants of the first
floor are deprived Of yard advantages,
while those on the second and often on
the third and fourth floors have them.
It is not an uncommon thing there
for an occupant Of the first floor to ask
the occupant Of the second or third,
"May I hang my clothes in your back
yard?'--New York Herald

to diet, and as further assistance to

leave you today, only reading three
tender cantos translated from the Ital
i'm. If you ever heard anything sweet
er, never did, although cannot adopt
all its theology:
Twas whispered one morning in heaven
how the little child angel May.
In the shade Of the great white portal,
Sat sorrowing night and day:
bow she said to the stately warden.
He Of the key and bar:
"Oh. angel. sweet angel. pray you
Set the beautiful gates ajar,
Only little, pray you.
Set the beautiful gates ajar.
81 can hear my mother weeping.
She is lonely: she cannot see
A glimmer Of light in the darkness
When the gates shut after me.
Oh. turn me the key, sweet angel;
The splsndor will shine so far"
But the warden answered, 81 dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar,"
Spoke low and answered, II dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar."
Then up rose Mary. the blessed.
Sweet Mary, the mother Of Christ.
Her hand ON the hand Of the angel
She laid, and her touch sufficed.
Turned was the key in the portal,
Fell ringing the golden bar,
And, 10, in the little child's fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar.
In the little child's angel fingers
Stood the beautiful gates aiar.
