1t would take a microscope to discover
the difference between the Republican,
ism OF John Sherman and the Democracy
of Grover Cleveland on tho paramount
issue before the American people. John
Pierpont Morgan and Levi Morton, Rus
sell Sage and Comptroller Eckels, are all
loud in their c!anior for Sound money"
which means scarce or dishonest money.
They are charging their phalanstaries
rs the Pharisee Of old, embroidering the
words Sound money" and ''honest
money" on their robes to divert the at
tention of the people from the spolia-
ton which has made multimillionaires
of the few at a terrible cos to Americas
industrial millions.
You a divide the "sound money"
men into three classcs-those whose in
terest it is to make money scarce and
thereby enrich themselves at the cost of
life, happiness and prosperity to the
people; their hirelings, and that vast

the condition of u farmers is more de-

into these vast machinelike institutions
which not only dwarf individuality and
prevent development of character, but

Any II who is convelsant with the
decline of Rome after the fall of the

THE CRIME OF 1873.
''Coin" Calls an Editor Down For II ying
to Get 500 Under False Pretenses.

To the Editor Of the Omaha Bee: On
leaving Omaha saw your afternoon is
sue in which you quote afour line news
telegram from Washington of February,
1878, in which it is stated that the
amended coinage act had passed the
senate, or words to that effect. And on
the strength of hat you claim to be en-
titled to the reward Of 800 offered by
me to any person who could show any.
thing from the newspapers of February,
1878, that a single word conveyed in
formation to the people that silver had
been demonetized, the minis closed to
it or its legal tender character taken
away from it. You have shown the only
thing that did appear III the papers that
month, and is the paragraph that I
have frequently read myself when max
convey the information 1 speak Of. The
amended mint bill in which silver was
secretly demonetized was about 10
pages long, covering everything from
fixing the salaries of mint officers to
providing for the nickel piece. And the
fact that that bill had been amended
commonly known as the mint or coin
age bill"-did not mean without saying
S that the established monetary system
Of the government had been changed.
In my speech at Omaha was trying to
v all the ground embraced in the
financial question, and thus passed
briefly over the act of 1878. Had I not
been doing SO I would have read the
newspaper paragraph which you have
copied, and which, in my Judgment,
proves what l said. The information it
contained was regarded as of SO little
Importance that it was embraced in
four lines, whereas concealed in the bill
was an altered clause, altered s~urrepti-
tiously, that has since caused the print
ing of millions of columns of tele-
graphic and other news matter. w.

Nh. Eckels says, "The idea in the en-
actment OF every coinage law from the
establishment of the government to 1878
was to have the coins approximately of
the same commercial value without the
governments stamp affixed as they
would be with it,. What consummate
nonsense this declaration embraces. The
idea that q commodity after having been
chosen and legally set apart for a use
which makes the demand for said COM
modify universal and unlimited, and
after the national seal of said legal
tender money function has been en-
stamped upon it, has only the same

Walking down Alabama street the

of light streaming from windows and
heard the sound of many voices.

of the big building, corner Pryor aud

brilliantly lighted hall, full to over

this body of brain and Drawn, was en-
tertained by short speeches as sensible
as ever fell from any lips-lacking, it
may be, the finish Of what is called or
atory-but charged with common sense
and, better still, ringing with honesty.
There was no preparation. The chair
man simply picked out a man here and
there i'll the great crowd and each and
every one called, quickly and willingly
responded.
Have you even noticed how straight a
w~orkingman goes to the point: How
simply and briefly he cuts to the core of
his subject? The tenor of the talk was
that the time had come in the history
of Atlanta when the laboring people
should put aside their personal prefer
ences and vote as il unit for only such
men. as will do the sons of toll Justice

was a determination shown to eschew
all division and pursue this wise policy
in the future.
AS the evening waned the chairman

and called out
"As it is growing a little late and
we have to rise early I would like to
put a question o. two before We adj

With Il mighty shout of enthusiasm
which shook the building the meeting
sprang to its feet as one man.

The ratio of men for free silver was
immensely greater than 16 to /.
For there were by actual count 260 Of

The camphor laurel, from which
the greater part OF the camphor of
commerce is produced, is a native of
China, Japan, Formosa and Cochin
China. 1t is a hardy, long lived tree
and sometimes grows to a great size.
1T has evergreen leaves. yellowish
white flowers in panicles and is a
very ornamental tree, the trunk
running up to a height of 20 or 30
feet before branching. The fruit is
very much like a black currant.
In the extraction of camphor the
wood is first cut into small chips,
and the chips r put into water in
a still and steamed. The head of the
still is filled with straw, and as the
steam carries off the camphor in
vapor it is deposited in little grains
around the straw.
The crude camphor is then heated
in a vessel, from which the steam is
allowed to escape through a small
aperture. The camphor sublimes in
8 semitransparent cake. In the man.
ufacture of camphor the tree is nee.
essarily destroyed, but by a rigid
law of the lands in which tho tree
grows another is planted in the place
of every one that is cut down. The
wood is highly valued for carpenters
work.
Camphor was unknown to the
Greeks and Romans and was first
brought to Europe by tho Arabs

The Red sea MIracle Reprodnced.

1t is a well-known fact that Mt GER
tain times of the year Link River, a
stream a mile and quarter long,
which connects the great water sys-
TENS above and below this point, be-
comes almost dry. This state of If
fairs, however, lasts, as a rule, but a
few hours, during which time people
have been known to walk across the
river, 800 feet wide, without getting
their feet wet The bottom of the
river has been dug out in many places
by the action of the water, forming
large pot holes, and when the river
becomes dry these holes are filled
with trout, which are left stranded.
At such times it is a common occur
renee to see men and boys knocking
the fish on the head with clubs, and
in this way they secure many a good
meal.
There are many traditions regard
ing this phenomenon among the In
dians here, but the real cause of the
low water in the river is the action of
the wind. The course of the stream
is southeast, and the high winds
which prevail in the spring and fall
are from the south, and blow up the
river. The outlet from the upper
lake being small, the force of the
wind keeps the water back in the big
lake, causing the river to become very
low klamath Falls Express.

Good material for novel may be
found in tale which comes from
Hope, STEELE county, this state Miss
Ellen Norman, living near there, was
engaged to be married to George
Thompson, prosperous young far
mer, but her parents were strongly OPP
posed to the match. In October, 1894,
the girl was taken i'll: October q she
died, at least the doctors pronounced
her dead, after subjecting her to nu-
merous tests. The funeral was set for
October %. The body was kept over
night in the Norman house Tho
only watcher was Mr.. Thompson, who
declared that he was not afraid of the
disease, whatever it was. It was due
to his watching that the young woman
is alive today.
Thompson removed the lid of the
coffin in order to gaze once more upon
the face of his faucee He was sur
prisod to see the chest Of the body risehn
the casket rise and lall in u spasmodlc
way, as though the girl was gasping
for breath. He wrapped the rigid
form in blanket, carried it to his
house, returned to the Norman house,
made up a dummy and closed the cot
fin. This was buried.
After Miss Norman had been carried
to the Thompson residence and a
doctor summoned who worked over
her for several hours, it became evil
dent that she was simply in trance
She remained delirious for several
days. As she became stronger all was
explained to her. About the middle
of December Miss Norman was spir-
tied away from Hope by DR.. Mulian
and Mr.. Thompson and since that
time she has been travelling in the
south and west, where she has fully re-
gained her health.
The other day she returned to Hope
as the bride of Thompson, the old
folks were appraised of her being alive
and we'll, the fatted calf and several
other farm animals were killed, and
they will doubtless live happily ever
afterward. Bismarck, North Dakota,

Revival Of the Husking Bee.

One Of the most gratifying things
in this much-shouted, long-drawn-out
end of the century is the revival of
the husking bee. The barn party has
struggled hard to get the better of it.
"Barn party"-incongruous name
brings to mind a floor nicely polished
for dancing TO the music Of the city
orchestra, with no trace Of hay or
straw, and the horses resting in
roomy stalls. "Barn party" belongs
to the city village, and marks a weak
attempt to bring together the old and
the new.
In "husking bee" there is the odor
of the breath of cattle, the light Of
the jack o lantern, the warmth of the
summer sun slowed away in the
mows, the dancing of bright eyes, the
laughter of red-cheeked girls, the
gurgle of the cider jug and withal the
itching from the rye boards that make
dust on the rough boar d floor. "Husk-
ing bees" belong to the country cross
roads and beyond. We know there is
revival Of them, because almost
every one of our exchanges mentions
them in its correspondence, but, I'M
fortunately, not enough attention has
been given to them in print to make q
boom. The nearest to it was when it
was written of bee over in East
Hartford that it was decided to call
all the ears red ears, and "the girls
liked it. " Hartford Courant.
