A Banner From Heaven.

The thrones used by the French kings
and emperors before the time of the re-
public was known as "the throne of
the lilies. 1t was so called because of
the old national emblem of the Franks
which was the feur-de-lis, q species Of
lily. The story of the adoption of the
heur-de-lis as anational emblem is curl
Gus and interesting. Clovis, king of the
Franks, married Princess Clotilde of
Burgundy in the year 493 A. D. The
young queen was Christian, and it
was her earnest desire that her husband,
a heather Frank, might be converted.
Her arguments had nc effect upon him,
but an incident which occurred in bat
tie later on changed his mind In the
year 400 Clovis and his Franks met the
fierce Allemanni (Germans) in battle at
Tolbiac.
Clovis was finally SO hard pressed that
he called on the God of the Christians
for help, vowing ON his honor that if he
should be victorious he would become
Christian. Within the hour the Allie
manni were routed and on Christmas
day of the same year Clovis and several
thousands of his soldiers were baptized
into the Christian church. According to
the story, on the eve of the baptism an
angel from heaven appeared and pre-
scented Clovis with blue banner, en-
broidered with beautiful feur-de-lis
These heaven embroidered lilies were
forthwith adopted as the French en-
bleln, and from that time until the time
of the revolution all kings of France
bore upon their arms some kind Of
representation of the feur-de-lis. First
the number thus worn varied according
to the taste of the monarch, but during
the two or three centuries preceding the
fall Of the monarchy the regulation
public.

A CHANGE OF HEART.

How the Cause of Silver Has Reen Stabbed
In the House OF It's Friends.
On the 10th of August, 1886, the
Louisville Courier-Journai, which is
now the most active organ of the
money power and single gold standard,
in a lengthy editorial favoring the
coinage of silver equal with gold, laid
down the following propositions:
81 That decentralization of silver,
which has prevailed for some years up
to this writing. both in the United
States and Europe, has had the effect
of advancing the value OF gold ..,at
40 per cent.
-. That this has been accomplished
by depressing the value of all other
property to that extent
So That about 40 per cent of the
property and producing resources of
the people have thus been transferred
to a comparatively small class of men,
whose stock in trade is gold invest
ments-
50. That in the exact proportion as
gold has risen, the burden of debt and
taxation has increased; and that in
proportion as property and labor have
declined, the capacity of the people to
paw their debts and taxes has dimin-
ished.
$50. That the silver discount is Gre
atinga bonus of more than 80 per cent
in favor of the farm productions of
India and Asia, which to that extent
cheapens the wheat, cotton and vari-
GUS other productions of the United
States
st6 That these lamentable conditions
have been produced by anti-silver Leg
islation.
-. That they can be undone and
prosperity be restored by pro-silver
legislation"
The Courier-Journal, in discussing
these propositions, calls upon the
metropolitan gold standard papers to
answer them Here are seven propo-
sitions," said the Couri.r-Journal ten
years ago, 'seither of w1,ch. If true,
certainly uovcs the silver situation is
a matter Of intense and universal inn
portance. IT 50. why is no. the matter

A SCARED GoLD-BUG.

He Goes On On Tangent In Denouncin2
Free silver Advocates.
At times the denunciations of the adj
vocates of the free coinage of silver by
those who are opposed to it become
really amusing. To read them one
would think that the silver men were
traitors to the country and were plot
ting treason all the while. All the
ills of the country can easily be traced
to the agitation for free silver; what
that agitation will not explain is
scarcely susceptible to explanation, it
these denunciators are to be believed.
A Washington correspondent OF
leading Chicago paper sends up q ter
rible vail over silver, such q wall as
the giants whom little Jack slew were
wont to send forth just before they
gave up the ghost. He declares that
the government has been literally
turned topsy-turvy for the benefit of
silver. It is greatly to be regretted
that If such is the fact that silver has
not received the benefit it was intended
that it should. It is not possible that
the government has been turned topsy-
turvy because nothing really worthy
the name has been done for silver?
Thiswise man of the east goes SO far
as to declare that the very equities of
the system of popular representation
have been destroyed. This is really
too bad. He declares that new states
have been brought in, devoted to
single standard at least, till nullifica-
lifted is not stated; there is still some
Al lie g.. - <~
I. is gravely stated that there is now
in Washington a congress whose sem
ate stands like a stone wall against
everything that does not make for
silver. Phat simile about a stone wall
is very fine, but if we mistake not we
have seen it before. Then this con-
gress has a house of representatives
that is against free silver two to one.
There is no challenging that fact.
Then there comes this terrible charge
against the silver states, that ''of the

IN POVERTY STREET.

It's dirty. fn-smelIfng,
It's fellows the same,
With hardly a dwelling
Deserving the name:
It's noisy and narrow,
With angles replete-
Not straight as an arrow
Is Poverty street.
It's houses are battered.
Unheated and snail,
while children all tattered
Respond to the call;
There's nothing inviting
That's likely TO greet
The stranger alighting
In Poverty street.
But something redeeming
Lies under it all
Ambition is dreaming
In some little hall;
Some mother is praying
successes may meet
The boy who is playing
IN Poverty street.
Some fathers, depriving
themselves of all joys,
Are valiantly striving
For sake of their boys:
Soma sisters or brothers,,
In sacrifice sweet,
Are living for others
In Poverty street.
Though lacking In glory.
And lacking in art,
There's many a story
Appeals to the heart;
And years that are blighting
With tales of defeat
Find heroes still fighting
In Poverty street.

LESSON OF THE LOAN.

PrOmDf R0Qn0nS0 P0OOl0
Endorsement of the Gold standard.
The Wall street papers eagerly con.
strue the success of the new loan as an
Endorsement of the gold standard. The
New York Evening Post asserts that
the capital of the country is deter
mined that the gold standard shall be
maintained. That journal anticipates
a general movement by the two ma.
tional parties to sustain the policy of
the administration. 1t even looks for
ward to such a bracing of the financial
nerve of the administration as may re-
suit in still further accumulation OF
gold This, of course, can only be eff
tected by another loan. 1t is we'll to
borrow while people are in the humor
to lend. The argument is thrown out
that if a reserve OF 500, DOC, 900 was
needed to secure currency circula-
ton of 1866, 0O0, 900, a reserve of $780,
900, 900 is not too much to secure q cur
rency circulation of about 5000. oOO. 600

GOMEZ, WOUND NOT SERIOUS

NOtwithstanding 1T He Personally Di-
rects His Forces.
New YORK, Feb. 18.-A special to the
World from the headquarters of General
Gomez, near San Antonio de las Bas,
says:
| General Gomez wound has not proved
serious. In spite of his hurt, of his 72
years of age, and of his 13 years of war,
40 of them continuous exposure In the
last Cuban rebellion>, his rugged consti-
tuition enables him to manage his fiery
horses and endure the exceptional IA
tigue of long marches like younster.
He was struck by bullet which passed
through his right leg from the front.
Although causing no fracture of the
bone, the wound is painful. He has
personally directed his forces in their
daily marches and almost daily skir-
mishes.
In answer to the question "dow will
the substitution of General Weyler for
General Campos affect the Cuban
cause?" General Gomez said:
"The change will benefit the Cuban
cause. We have lost most wonderful
enemy in Csmpos. He is. without
doubt the first general in Spain. The
troops all idolize him, and with his de-
parture they are left without leader in
whom they have confidence. I regard
these good soldiers as being in the same
state in which the grand army of France
found, or rather lost itself, upon the de-
parture Of Napoleon the First.
81 regard General Weyler as an hon
orable, but cruel soldier,'' he de.
clared. "In his military ability,
however, I do not think he can for a
moment be compared with Campos. In
the last movements of his former COM
mand he was noted only for his unre-
