Who Control Silver Mines |?

"Does Wall street own or control any of all the silver mines of this country? If so, what Is fer object In being so still about itT'-H. J., Dresden, Kan.
 You seem to think Wall street is a woman. We doubt if the majority of the Populsts who talk so glibly about "Wall street" know what it is. The United States subtreasury in New York is on Wall street; so are number of banks and brokers offices. When prop erly used "Wall street" is simply geil- eral name for the dealers in New York in stocks, bonds and other securities.
 The silver mines are owned by cor porations, and their stock is dealt in by New York brokers, the same as other stocks. "Wall street" is not keeping still about it, The fellows who are keeping still are the great silver barons, who are rushing free coinage. and spend- ing money like water to make it win. They don't want the voters to know that free coinage at 16 to would, by putting the country on silver basis, make the vaiu, of the dollar depend on the market price of silver bullion, which they, by speculat tion, could run up or down, and really put the entire money of the country at their mercy.- Toledo Blade.

Questions for Wagc-Earners.

History teaches that in all cases where the cost of living has suddenly increased as result of Appreciated money wages have invariably been the last to respond to such conditions. Does anybody be- leve that with 53-cent dollars as the sole money of redemption the wages or the S5O.OO0 railway employees would be doubled? Would the salaries of the 75O.OOO school teachers be. doubled: Would the wages of the 100000 wom- on and children who work in factories be doubled? Certainly not.-Galveston Nau,s

The W. C. T. e. meeting of Dec 7th,
was one of unusual interest. Mrs. An
drew j. Harris opened the meeting with
Scripture reading aud prayer; her petit
tons are always so earnest and heart
felt, that one somehow realizes that God
is near, We know that such prayers do
reach the ear OF God and do touch His
loving heart. After the roll-call, Mrs.
Edwards proposed to ask the saloon
men not to give away egg-nog during
heretofore been the custom to do this.
Mrs. Harrell proposed that an enter
tainment be given to the honorary men,
bers, to which Mrs. McCra cken respond
ed that wehave an open-evening with an
best to add something more substan-
tial, which was finally agreed on.
We have not for long time seen the
ladies so interested or so anxious to do
something to aid the cause that is des-
tined finally to triumph. God hasten
the time, when no drunkard, will be iii
thekingdoms of this world, as none shall
inherit the kingdom OF Heaven. Earth
is not fair now, because the trail of the
serpent is over all her flowers, but when
the temperance workers have accom-
plished their mission this earth will
bloom even as Eden boomed, and man
clothed and in his right mind will sit at
the feet of Jesus, and learn of that God,
who will bring him to perfection, to happi-
ness and to Heaven. Man then no longer
will attempt to sunder the golden chain
forged by God in the great plan Of crea-
ton to bind together the great Trio of
Faith, Love and Wisdom which form not
only the brightest galaxy of earth, but
Oeons of eternity.

Severe Weather for December.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks. the noted wealth
er prophet of St. Louis, predicts that
December will be remarkable for the
severity Of the weather. He says it
will be one Of the coolest and most
blustery that we have experienced in
years. Yet there is crumb of COM
fort in the promise that it is not likely
that the storms will be dangerous, be-
cause they do not come at the period
of the year when dangerous storms are
to be expected. Continuing he says:
but you will get all the old fashioned
billiards you want during the last part
of the month. Things will grow inter-
esting about the 10th of the month and
will continue until December Both.
We will have good spriukling of bad
weather before that, for the winter will
begin early and be cold one, but the
centre of the worst period begins De-
cember 10Th. During this time the in
fluence of Mars will be added to others,
producing a commotion on the earth's
atmosphere which will be felt by all
inha bitants.'

Beautiful Paintings.

Henderson is peculiarly fortunate in
the character and quality Of its artistic
talent-music. painting. drawing. &C.
The GOLD LEAF has had occasion
heretofore to refer with pride and
pleasure to its cultuted and gifted ar
lists in these lines, and so we were
quite prepared for the rich treat en-
joyed few days ago when it was our
privilege to view some beautiful paint
ings executed by Mrs. Henry Perry.
There were four Of them THE Woo
ing" (duplicates) 56x72 inches; Cupid
On Vacation" 34x56; and Love
Adrft." 56x72 inches. These were
done of wool tapestry cloth, an exceed
ingly difficult and delicate work We
should judge, owing TO the uneven sur
face Of the material to be painted upon.
Words fail us in fitly describing these
paintings. The subjects are at once
striking aud pleasing, the execution
faultless. The rich colorings are ex-
quisitely wrought, the delicate shadings
beautifully toned, the whole blending
in perfect harmony showing the touch
of an artists hand. They are indeed
magnificent works Of art, such creations
indeed as would charm the eye and de-
light the heart Of the most competent
judges and capable critics.
Mrs. Perry's skill and ability with
the brush and palette are already we'll
known but her more recent work has
added fresh laurels to her well earned
reputation. She is indeed an artist of
very genuine talent and her studies in
New York last summer were turned to
good account, we may not doubt.
So highly gifted a woman as Mrs.
Perry ought to give the public the ben
eft of her time and talent more largely,
and the GOLD LEAF would be glad to
see her open an art studio to that end,
filling orders that we feel sure would
come to her.

We all know that any tired muscle can
be restored by rest. Your stomach is a
muscle. Dyspepsia is its manner of saying
81 am tired. Give me rest" To rest the
stomach YOU must do its work outside Of
the body.
This is the Shakers method of curing in
digestion, and its success is best attested hy
the fact that these people are practically
free from what is without doubt the most
prevalent of all diseases. The Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial not only contains digested
food which is promptly absorbed without
taxing the tired digestive organs, but it IS
likewise an aid to the digestion of other
foods in the stomach. A 10 cent trial bot
tie will convince you of its merit, and these
YOU can obtain through all druggists.

County Commits iOners.

The old Board stepped out and the
new Commissioners stepped in Mon-
day. BY virtue of appointment, how
ever, two of the old members compose
the new Board. They are John A.
Fleming and Thos. Taylor-good men
and true-who have served the county
well and faithfully in the past and will
do no less in future.
The new members, elected in No.
vember, are DR.. J. r. Moss, George
Houghtaling and J. II. Foster. The
last named is colored man. They
have the intelligence and business ca
pacity and we believe the interests of
the county sufficiently at heart to make
capable and efficient officers, and in
the patriotic discharge of their duty
they will have the cooperation and
commentator of the GOLD LEAF and
all good citizens.
The Board was organized by the
election of DR.. Moss as chairman and
they proceeded to business at once.
One of the first things taken up was
the election Of County Attorney.
Commissioner Foster nominated 7. 7.
Hicks and J. Y. Eaton, (the latter
colored). Commissioner Fleming NOM
mated Capt. w. B. Shaw, who held
that position the past year, paying a
merited compliment to the intelligence
and fidelity with which he had served
the county heretofore. The vote be-
ing taken resulted in the election of
Hicks and Eaton. The salary ($1OO)
remains the same and will be divided
between them.
We have not space to give the other
proceedings at this time but will do so
