REcocNIrroN OF WHITE METAL
Only One Issue In the Coming Prenf-
Dental Campaign.

Washington, June 15.-Silver men In
both the old parties agree that there can
be only one issue in the coming presi-
dental campaign. and that is the recogni-
tion of the equality of the white metal as
a monetary standard with gold. The
course which shall be pursued by the sill
yer men of the republican party at the
st. Louis convention has already been
mapped out Teller and Dubois OF the re-
publicans, Vest and Blackburn of the
democrats, and Stewart and Jones of the
populists have had their heads together
almost daily for the last two months
and every possibility of what the various
conventions may do has been carefully
considered. The situation is thus stated
by one of the most prominent silver re-
publican senator's
I'VE do not intend that the st. Louis
convention shall straddle the silver ques-
tion If our votes can prevent it. We esti-
mate that we shall have at least ten
members of the committee on resolutions
We viii offer a resolution of free coinage
at the ratio of Is to l. or course that will
be rejected. Then the faction favoring
compromise or a straddle will come in
with their proposition
The eastern states will submit their
gold standard plank. When our free
coinage plank shall have been rejected
we VIII throw our votes to the gold men
for the purpose of absolutely commit
ting the republican party to the gold
standard. Then we will go into the con-
vention and protest against both the gold
and the straddle platform. One or the
other will be adopted, for blind man
can see that the 16 to l ratio will have no
chance.
After the adoption of either the gold
or the straddle plank, we will withdraw
from the convention and wait to see what
the democratic convention in Chicago
viii do. If they declare Cor free coinage
as we believe they will, why then we will
join with them and make the fight for
the supremacy of the white metal"

ed relations, as did the tone of the diet
and of the press.
Emperor Williams Idea.
Emperor William interprets the con-
stitutional position of Bavaria in rela-
tion to the empire as being subordinate
one. and assigns the Bavarian dynasty
to a subordinate position when il appears
with the Hohenzollcrn. This Is strongly
disapproved at the Munich court and
without doubt Prince Ludwig. the future
king of Bavaria, deliberately and pur-
posely framed his speech in the way he
did. repudatng for his dynasty and for
the other princes the role of vassals and
claiming that of allies. which accurately
represents the Views of the Bavarian
court.

Maine-Joseph Manley was severely
criticised at a meeting of the Maine dele
cation today Some of the delegates
even went so far as to intimate that II
would be for the good of tne republican
party in Maine to select a new national
committeeman. This was brought about
by the actions of Mr. Manley in announc-
ing upon his arrival that Mr.. Mckinley
could not be defeated for the nomination.
The meeting was behind closed doors.
and 1t was decided by the members of
the delegation that nothing should be
said as to the effort to displace Manley as
committeeman
Arizona-The Arizona people are in a
quandary over the selection of their com
mltteeman. The national committee

Fatigue of the Eve

A star appears more distinct if one
looks at a point near it than it does
when looking at the star itself. This
is due to what is called "fatigue" of
the retina. When looking at an OBJ.
ject We naturally focus that object on
the most sensitive part of the retina
and keep the image permanently there.
Now, in the case OF star, the image
is q microscopic point and covers only
on infinitesmal portion of the retina,
and the great otrain on this portion
produces immediate "fatigue." If we
look at point near the star, then. as
the eye moves, the image travels over
the retina and successive portions OF
it are called into play so quickly that
fatigue" is not experienced. 1t does
not do to look at another star near it,
for then the eye is kept fixed and
fatigue" at once ensues. 10 most
eyes the Pielsdes appear far more dis.
tlnct when We tx our eyes on blank
space Of the heavens near them than
when we look at them directly.

The First Money.

It is difficult to realize that prior to
B. G. 700 there were no true coins,
that ingots or buttons of gold and sill
yer were weighed at every mercantile
transaction. The Lydians of Asia
Minor are credited with having been
the first to cast and stamp with an Of
fetal device small oval gold ingots of
definite fixed weight, an invention
strangely delayed, but of inestimable
Importance to industry and commerce.
A coin hos been described as "a piece
of metal of fixed weight, stamped by
authority of government, and en-
ployed as a medium OF exchange"
Medals, though struck by authority,
are only historical records and have
no currency value.
The bright, far flashing intellect of
Greece saw the import of the Lydian
Invention and adopted it quickly, and
every Greek State, nearly every city,
island and colony, established a mint,
generally at some one of the great
temples, for all early coin types are
religious in character. They bear
symbols Of some god as pledge Of
good faith. The offerings, tithes and
rents Of the worshipers were coined
and circulated as money. Temples
thus became both minis and banks.
Oar word "money" is said to hase
been derived from the Roman shrine
of Juno "lloneta" the earliest Latin
mint.
The first shape OF these early coins
was that Of Oh enlarged coffeeberry,
punched on the rounded side. with
official letters, Or sinkings, as they are
called. Good Words. !.
