SILVER AT A CAMP MEET1NG.

1t is a trite saying that politics
makes strange bedfellows. 1t does, in
deed, and it makes men do strange
things and say stranger ones.
Down at National-Park-o -the-Dela
ware, N j., religious services have
been held for some days past. Last
Sunday there were several sermons on
various topics by different preachers.
But it fell to the lot and glory of the
Rev. Thomas Harrison, the evangelist,
to create the sensation of the day. His
sermon was on Trouble" his text be-
ing Acts, xvi; 3O-31 During the course
of his sermon he said:
''These are troublesome times. There
is a cry from all over the land that
the wheels of industry are almost at a
standstill and that many men and
ties of life. This cry of distress is
greater in the west than anywhere else,
and yet political leaders there would
put out the few sparks of hope and
make darkness darker. They are led
astray by the silver craze, but, thank
God, the bubble is nearly bursted."
AS he proceeded his ardor became
such that he became more or less per
sonal. He spoke of an ardent Pro-
hibitionist who had declared his in
tention of voting the Republican ticket
this year as means of dispelling the
silver craze as he in his righteous
ness termed IT. Thereupon the presi-
dent of the National Park association,
James E. Lake, who is a Prohibitionist
in politics, groaned in disapproval.
Then the Rev. Mr.. Harrison turned
quickly, and looking at Rev. DR.. Graw,
who is the most prominent Prohibition
list in New Jersey, said: DIR. Graw
viii come out that way SOON" Then
the Rev. Mr.. Lawrence, who is a
Republican, said: He has come out, -
whereupon DR. Graw answered: Or.
Graw will speak for himself" And
then, so states the paper from which
these facts are gathered, nearly the
entire congregation arose for prayer. -
Surely it was time.
But what had all this to do with the
text which was:
And brought them out, and said,
Sirs, what must 1 do to be saved?
and they said, Believe on tn
Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt De
saved, and thy house"

merits of his great discovery; but he
does not. His ideas about whisky are
rather clearer than his ideas about sill
Yer.
Now says Mr.. Atkinson, .if we
had bought whisky at the same rate
per month-$2, OOOO coo worth from 1878 to
1890. and nearly 100000 worth from
1890 to 1S93-we might have issued legal
tender notes payable either in money
or in whisky. and then we should have
done much better. Each years notes
could have been secured on each year S
whisky purchases, so that as the years
went by every series would have been
worth a premium because the whisky
improved with age. Buying the whisky
would also have made a good market
for corn and rye. I don't know how
much corn or rye it takes to make a
gallon, but it must take good deal.
Every gallon would have been certified
in quantity and quality by the govern
silver dollars"
When I man puts forth so brilliant a
scheme as this is it seems an I'M
gracious thing to question whether or
not it is original with him, but we
cannot help wondering whether the
idea was suggested to him by the
original package decision. This scheme
should commend itself to Mr.. Henry
Watterson, who is a gentleman, a
sound money man and a good judge
of whisky.
In the further elevation of his scheme
Mr.. Atkinson wanders off after strange
gods and talks about COW and bull
money Into the cowpaths of this
part of his scheme we must refuse to
follow him.

BEFORE DECENTRALIZATION.

Before decentralization both
metals constituted the redemp-
ton money of the world; and as
both metals existed in about
the same quantities. it gave US
twice as much money of re-
demption as gold alone will now
furnish us. There is in the world
now, according to the report Of
the director of our mint, $3,727,-
O1S,S6 in gold, and $3,S20,571, 346
in silver. The dislocation of the
parity of the two metals by the
characterization of silver, and
the attempt to maintain our
credit in gold, has reduced the
redemption money of the world
from $7,547, 590,215 to $3,727, 01S.-
S69, or a little less than one
half the original amount

Alcott, and at the end of the group is the
grave of Bronson Alcott, but there is
nothing to indicate what either of them
was to American life or letters. In the
Thoreau enclosure the simple words
Henry, Sophia and Helen, and Father
and Mother, alone indicate where the
bodies are laid to rest. Not far distant
is the tomb of DR.. Elisha Mulford, and
under his name is the legend Thine eyes
shall see the king n his beauty The
simplicity that marks these places of
burial of some of Americas greatest de-
parted ones is silent and striking com
mentary on the fuss which is often made
over those who have been less notable
in life Reverent hands had recently
touched all the Emerson graves with a
new sodding and other marks of love,
and in the bright summer afternoon these
silent resting places of the dead spoke
in volumes to one who paid his tribute
of love and admiration 10 those whom
he had known in life. There are few
places in America that are more precious
to a thoughtful person than Sleepy Hol-
low in Old Concord.-Boston Herald.

TALES OFF THE DAY.
A visit to sleepy Hollow.

Yesterday, the writer, after an alb
sence of several years, paid visit TO the
pace where Hawthorne and Emerson
and Thoreau and the Alcotts are buried.
TINS spot is called by the Concord people
Gods Acre" BY this name the knoll
where rests the bodies of Emerson and
Hawthorne is appropriately called. The
spot IS worn hard by the constant tread
enclosure has been placed around the
Emerson burial spot, and a bronze tablet
has been let into the big quartz rock
that lies over the body of Emerson indi-
eating the place of his burial. Thereon
in raised letters are the words: Ralph
Waldo Emerson, born May %, 1903; died
at Concord. April u, 1857" Below this is
she legend:
The passive master lent his hand
To the vast soul that DER him planned.
Over the grave. Of Hawthorne there is
but the simple word Hawthorne" on the
tablet, and the body of the grave is. COW

Yer paper? When it ceases to be that

A SUMMER NIGHT.

The long bright sunny day is at an end
From out the western sky the last faint
ray
OF crimson glory pales, and fades to gray
And silently DER sea and land descend
The s QUIET DUETS shadows 10 of the summer night
The drowsy garden flowers, responsive
now
TO the soft pressure of the falling dew,
lights
Flight out into the darkness, one by one
The plaintive wailing of the lone sea
bird
Low murmur of the summer waves, whose
song,
From yonder clear blue heaven over
head,
The silent, list'ning stars stoop down to
hear.

TIE theft of the Robert E. Lee ivy
from its bed near one of the walls of
Yale university, where it was only re-
Gently planted by the graduating class of
96, has probably been the work of a
bigot instead of a mere vandal of curios.
Such a climax to the unhappy contro-
versy over the original acceptance of the
ivy is nothing short of disgraceful. One
may question the strict appropriateness
Of such an ivy among the old elms OF
New England; yet, since the southern
members of the class carried the day on
their proposition to plant it, the ivy
should have been left to flourish to that
green old age when such deeds of narrow
minded rancor would be unheard of. Yale
counts many southerners among her sons,
and she would not have needed to blush
for her romantic memorial of one of the
noblest Americans-even if a confeder-
ate leader-who ever lived.-Philadelphi
