Indiana Gold Men Yield,

In the democratic party OF Indiana
the sentiment is overwhelmingly fol
silver, as it is everywhere in the wesl
and south. But in that state the gold
power and the cuckoo influence are moi
able to stifle the voice Of the people
and the gold leaders have been forced
to surrender.
A special to the Chicago Record says
THE situation has come to a head
rapidly since Thomas Taggart an
nounced that under no circumstances
would he allow his name to go before
the state convention. The free-silveI
democrats Immediately demanded Ben
jamin F. Shively of South Bend, and
now every democrat of prominence
says Shively will be nominated by ac-
clamation. He is an out-andout free
silver man. At one time he was tinged
with greenbackism and when that
passed away he became an advocate OF
the independent coinage of silver. He
has served his district three full terms
and one short term in congress. He is
a lawyer.
Representatives of the gold wing OF
the party say they will not put up a
candidate. Ex-Attorney-General A. G.
Smith, who Is one of the most earnest
advocates of the gold standard, was
asked why he did not become a candi-
date for the nomination Of governor on
"sound-money" platform.
"'Because l should be defeated said
he. The democrats will win in Indi-
ana this year. They will win on free
silver platform. l am as radical on the
money question as l ever was, but the
party will adopt a free-silver platform
and Mr.. Mount will be defeated for
governor. The democrats will nomi.

Enclan. and Russia.

Anyone who carefully feels the public
pulse OF Europe must be struck by the
extraordinary ebb and flow there is in
the expression of feeling OF the French
as to England, according as France i'm

of Russian friendship or sees that
friendship setting below her western
horizon toward England. AS for En-

have 1t on the highest authority that
the present car of Russia is man of
no fixity of purpose, quite unable to
seize on great political idea and al
ways swayed by the last speaker. !
am told that he is even unable to grasp
the contents of long state PIPER and
that he either wearies of the effort or is
too indolent to try and master it for
himself. In this he Is following the
practice of his father, who, being really
too thick-headed to understand things,
invariably left it to his old tutor to
make him a precis of che document
with marginal notes of the leading
points. Ihls mode or dealing with I'M
perial affairs is leaving untold oppor-
tunities in the hands OF persons whose
interests are frequently opposed to
those of their nominal ruler and COM
pletely at variance with the professions
made personally by him. 1t is this
which makes the power of an autocrat
perilous beyond words, when the power
he is supposed to WELD is really in the
hands of others. Therefore the friend
ship of the car for the prince of Wales
and his closely interviewer matrimonial
alliances with our royal house counts
literally for nothing and are mere
featherweight in comparison with a
glimpse of the assassin's dagger, pro-
duced at the psychological moment by
those who disapprove of an English
rapprochement.-Fortnightly Review.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

1t is highly suggestive that. with as little
help as there is now from new business, mar
Nets are so nearly maintained. Summer Is
close ut hand and with new crops promising
well and old stocks large, IL is no wonder that
farm products are cheap The factories and
mills are still waiting for the rush OF business
seen last year and In spite OF narrow orders nj
present. are generally holding on with much
confidence 1t is 80 late that gold exports NO
longer alarm, for the date OF expected returns
draws near. The opinion gains ground that
more active business Is TO be expected after
the conventions have been held, and the safety
aud sutficiency OF crops have been assured.
Low prices at this season affect farmers very
little. but the spectators who have bought
from them for q rise Decline In wheat and
cotton has helped marketing the surplus, so
that exports have been more liberal

Failing Prices.

"The average price of commodities
declined 1 per cent in April, and the
fall since October, 1892. has been 1877
per cent During last week wheat fell,
wool was lower, lard sold at the lowest
price known, tallow is down to about
the lowest price, and corn, leather,
oats, turpentine, and sugar fell slightly
Cotton was little stronger. AS COM
pared with 1888, hides, leather, and
boots and shoes are more than 10 per
cent lower" = Philadelphia Press,
May 4.
This is a statement of fact concern
ing a downward movement of prices
which has been in operation, with few
Interruptions, for long series of years.
Whether all prices be high or low may
be a matter of Indifference; but it is of
first Importance that, high or low, they
should either have stability or a small
upward movement. A falling market
must have a deadly influence upon
business. The inevitable consequence
of continuous decline is to check enter
prise, to discourage investment, to i'm
pei buyers to supply only pressing
wants, and to enlarge the fixed charges
of all producers. No more important
obligation is imposed upon the press
and upon our public men than to dis
cover what is the cause of this as
tonishing, unprecedented and des-
tructive shrinkage of values, and then,
with bold hand, to apply the remedy
The theory of overproduction will not
meet the requirements of the case.
1t is merely absurd to insist that all
the necessaries Of life are produced in
excess quantities.; and particularly is
this theory insufficient in presence of
tho clearly perceptible fact that multi
tudes of idle and half idle men cannot
supply their wants. There is one
cause which never fails to drive down
prices, and, as that cause at this mo-
ment is discoverable in the practice Of
the government, why should any other
be looked for? 1t is the contraction of
the volume of the currency needed by
the people for the business Of exchang-
ing the products of their industry.
Commerce is starving for want Of
money, while men and women are
starving for want Of bread.-The Man

Extensive and Disastrous Storms.

Severe storms prevailed throughout
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
South Dakota and Michigan, with
heavy rain and in several sections with
cyclonic manifestations. At the Union
stock yards, Chicago, the storm played
havoc. Easements and first floors were
flooded and the big packing house
firms were heavy losers. Hundreds of
windows were blown in, and the rain
spoiled tons of beef which had been
prepared for canning. At Virgil, S. d.,
a cyclone levcled a number OF houses
Four persons were drowned and con-
siderable damage to property done at
Leavenworth, Kas. At Barabas, Wis.
heavy washouts occurred and train
service is demoralized. A special from
st. Paul, Neb., estimates the loss re-
in Howard county alone. A great
number of horses, cattle and hogs were
drowned. Many farmers lost all their
buildings. A report from O'Neill, Neb.
says that the town of Lynch, Boyd
county, was wiped out by tornado.
A Luverne, Mimi, special says: John
Kittleson, while fording the river, was
washed from his horse and drowned.
Several farm houses were demolished
and hundreds of cattle, sheep and hogs
persisted. A terrific hail storm de-
stroyed thousands of acres of growing
corn in southern Kansas with hail
stones, cutting stalks off like a moving
machine. The storm was so severe
that the roadsides are strewn with
dead birds. The storm was apparently
general all over southern Kansas and
extended over part of Oklahoma.
Various parts of Illinois and Michigan
suffered, but less severely.

which you are paid and impose upon

TEACHING THE BIBLE.
A Now Method for the Eeneht of For
eigners.

eigners.
Another new bible is soon to beissued
Gays the New York Journal. 1t differs
widely from all others and none will be
more useful in the work of spreading
the gospel. The popularity of this book,
however, lies not in the interpreta-
ton of the meaning of the scriptures
but in the typographical arrangement.
1t is intended to render the perusal OF
the volume a matter of greater ease to
foreigners and this will be accom-
plishel by the use Of the Cosmo-Roman
alphabet. The idea originated with
Robert w. Mason, young New Yorker,
while a student in the New York Mis-
sionary Training institute at $50 Sth
avenue. 1t is in this institute that
young men who wish to labor in the
missionary field are taught the secrets
of that work. While pursuing his
studies Mr.. Mason noted the efforts
made by foreigners to read a bible
printed in the English language. 1t
occurred to him that it would be a
potent aid to such persons if an alpha
bet could be invented which differed
less widely from their native Ian
guages. After two years of study he
invented what he calls a Cosmo-Roman
alphabet Of fifty characters with an
English division of forty-five char
acters. Mr.. Mason believes this alpha
bet as perfect as can be made and he
feels sure that it will revolutionize the
study of the English language by for
eigners. Since conceiving the plans for
printing the new bible in the alphabet
invented by him he has moved to
Bridgeport, Conn. Il have one very
important idea in connection with my
undertaking" he said, in discussing his
new idea. THAT is, of teaching for
eigners the English through the bible.
1t is my belief that knowledge of the
bible will lead not only to a complete
repression of anarchistic principles,
but to rejection of them as well for
all time. 1t is my hope to make the
bible a textbook for the study of Eng
fish, and IL my work meets with the
approval of good people / propose to

in all prominent landing stations,
docks and shipyards in this country
telling foreigners that the new bible
is ready for them" In every sense Of
the word Mr.. Mason's bible will be
unique. He will use the new testament
first. The first two or three pages will
be devoted wholly to illustrations, rep
resenting familiar objects, such as are
seen in the "A, b, CO books given to
children. There will be, for instance,
the word gun" and just beneath it
the picture of the object named. All
the illustrations are on the same order,
the intention being to familiarize the
reader with common words and names
OF objects. The forty-fve elementary
sounds Of the English language will be
accompanied by as many explanatory
pictures, making combination pho
netic and pictorial alphabet. The text
will be printed in large type and in
parallel columns. The first column
will contain the English reading and
the second the phonetic or pronounc-
ing version of the came. Mr.. Mason
says he will use no foreign language
in the book except on the cover page.
