II Is to be observed that the Hon.
Thomas Reed I'm the speech he made at
Alfred Me-. did not waste any Of his
precious breath in praislng Mckinney
The American public can scarcely have
toreotten that Tom aspired TO the nomi-
nation that Mac got, and 1t would seem
that while Tom submits TO the "arbitra-
ment' OF the National Republican Con-
ventlon he does not consider 1t any part
OF his duty to glorify the Ohio Napoleon.
The fact is. that Tom would have no
stomach for this fight II he were not
candidate for the House and were not
in hopes Of being elected TO the speaker
ship OF that body.

commop-sense versus Nonsense.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The writer does not wish to make any
proclamation OF his views In this great
crisis. but feels constrained to applaud
the conservative views Of the Dispatch.
You have well said that 1t is suicidal 10
talk about a "5O-cent dollar in the event
Of free coinage" Such thing Is an
absurdity. a "50-cent dollar" would mean
a 50-cent government. Under free com
age. the silver dollar would have behind
il not only its intrinsic value, but also
faith in the government, and both COM
bined would give II the purchasing power
OF 100 cents. regardless Of any premium
on gold. Immediately after the war
gold was at a premium of about 100 per
cent. over "greenbacks." but there was
no talk then about ''50-cent greenbacks'
IN the payment Of debts Free coinage
would restore to circulation SoO.09,OoO In
greenbacks and Sherman notes which
have practically disappeared.

church Tor the Evangelical congregations

ribly from the disastrous cyclone that
swept over the southern part OF that city
on May 9th. Three large Evangelical
churches and three parsonages were to
tally destroyed three other churches sur
fered more or less. Half OF the members
OF these six congregations have lost their
homes, as well as their means OF SUD
slstence; many lives were lost; the fami-
lies of several Of the pastors had very
narrow escapes, and some members OF
Rev. A. Jennings family were seriously
hurt. These congregations were at all
times among the very first to hep most
literally wherever help was needed.
Now. all over the districts and con-
gregations OF the German Evangelical
synod Of North America, liberal contri-
buttons are being made in order to relieve
the sufferers and to hep them 10 rebuild

confidently expects that next Sunday the

oyezl oye2l girl has run awayl
She's truanting from winters convent

And breeding mischief in the general clay.
She romps along the lanes ard mimics May;
The SAVIOR of her blown, soft hair enthralls
The air. The SHOWS melt where her foot

On greening meads whose startled flowers
betray
The coaxIng tune her feet vagary huns.
The leaves look out to watch her where
che comes,
And pell-mell brooks break jail to scamper
after;
And hill.homed cattle frisk that she is
near.
She leases even the towns with fetching
laughter.

Why Cycling Exhilarales.

An enthusiastic cyclist tells you that
the effects of excess in cycling are very
much the same as excess in drink.
And 1 feel very little doubt that the
doctor is right. Cycling, 1 supp ose.
because it acts as such a powerful
stimulant to the heart, produces, in
the first instance, feeling of exhilara'
tion, which is IN itself a pleasure,
especially to the owner of tagged
brain or iaded nerves. Anything that
produces this effect is naturally
"craved" after when once tasted. This
exhilarating effect, too, overcomes the
consciousness of fatigue and conse-
quently prevents the cyclist from
Judging accurately when he Tor shel
has had enough-another dangerous
point ofresemblance to alcohol. Lon

Hard Things 10 Say

Shibboleths to test sobriety, or
comparative sobriety, in the case OF
supposed drunkards have often been
heard of, and have generally been
looked upon as jokes for the dinner
table or the smoking-room, says the
London News. From Il case reported
at the Westminster Police Court it ap-
pears that a.. doctor, examined rs a
witness, has invented a test phrase
which he regards infallible. This is,
"lhe artillery extinguished the con.
fagration early" This may be very
effective, and it was tried successfully
on cabman (the defendaut). but the
doctor need not have taxed his inven-
tive powers. There is the "Peter
Piper picked a peck of pepper, ETC.,
test, aud one or two more not quite
so elaborate. "Biblical criticism" and
"British Constitution" have long been
fayorite tests, but the best is probably

An enterprising London tradesman
undertook to advertise by telegraph
the other day, and sent to several
thousand prominent ladies dispatch
TO the effect that great sale was in
progress. The ladies have been ac-
customod to looking at telegrEms as
matters Of importance, and they were
one and all annoyed. When the
merchant got through Opologizing to
Indignant husbands, big brothers and
suoh, and had paid for the insertion
of not few abiect apologies in the
newspapers, he had made up his mind
that newspaper advertisements were
the best, after all.
