How to Make q Chinese Fighting
Kte-A Bright Chuck
ing the Dummy.

For boys who like fun there are the
lighting kites, mt odeled upon those of the
Chinese, the greatest kite flying nation
ON earth. to whom, however, of late the
kite filters of the, United States have
been giving points and beating at their
own game The fighting kite may be
made on n model described by the New
York Sun. For this third stick Of the
same length rs the two sticks that form
the X of awell made high flying kite is
used. This is fastened in position SO that
its lower end just crosses the center of
the Y The cord that goes around the
kite Is stretched to the upper point as
well rs arourid the frame. The top of
this third long stick should DO made very
sharp The paper is put on and tho kite
balanced i'll the usual way.
When this kite is flown, instead of
sailing steadily all the time it darts
here and there, being sometimes hori-
zontal with its spear in front, and if it
comes across another kite it will SPEAR
it.
Another kind of fighting kite is to fit
kite with q tail made of small pieces of
sharp glass cemented together. The kite

Tande1h kites are the very best fun of
modern kite flying. To fly tandem kites
it is necessary to make four or five kites
which fly perfectly, and then to have all
assistant The first kite is sent up with
asilk thread, and us soon as it Is as high
as 1t will go the thread will sag In the
middle, showing that the raising powers
OF the kite are being overtaxed Then
the kite is hauled down beyond, the point
whege the thread tightens and becomes
rigtd, and the assistant, getting another
kite up with, say, 100 feet of thread out,
brings the free end of its line to the cord
OF the first kite and loops it firmly on
This at once relieves the weight on
the first kite and the thread may be
rapidly unrolled until both kites are
well up and the sag again shows in evil

rfrree silver, why not Free copperg

Here is an argument in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of copper
dollars which was circulated in Chicago
last week. IT. reads:
"Hooray for free copper 1t is the
poor mans money. The farmer and
the laboring man should not be fooled
by either the gold bugs. or the free
silver bugs, as neither gold nor silver
can be called the poor mans money.
If free silver will be a good thing for
the working people, free copper will be
better. There is no argument that
can be advanced for free silver but
applies with greater force to free cop
per.
Copper has been.used for money the
world over for thousands of years. The
widows mite was copper, and the wild
ow and children OF the poor today have
copper only to use for their necessities.
If tifty-three cents worth of silver can
be made into Government dollar and
bring great prosperity and plenty of
money for all, then three cents worth
of copper can also be made into Gov
ernment dollar and bring greater pros
perity and more money for all.
During the civil war in this country
gold and silver both disappeared from
circulation and copper was the only
one OF the metals which remained in
active circulation, and it supplied the
only money which the poor man could
use to buy his daily bread. Let Us
meet the issue boldly, and instead of
giving fifty-three cents worth of silver
for dollar use copper and give only
three cents. Let the public save ninety
seven cents on the debts which they
have to pay, rather than only forty
seven cents"
The lame place in the above argu-
ment is this, that even copper might
not hold the ratio of 81 to 1 any great
length of time. Improved machinery
for mining copper mining copper mig ht
be invented which would cheaper the
production so that three cents worth of
copper would not be worth more than
one cent in the markets of the world.

chapter. Mckinley will undoubtedly
be elected, in which event the gold
standard will be maintained; our in

Cause of Free silver Craze.

The causes of the free silver craze are
thought by the Baltimore Sun to be
''the same which caused the greenback
heresy TO find advocates in so many
states of the union 20 years ago-the
feeling OF unrest and a desire for a
change, no matter what, produced by
hard times, bad business and lack of
employment-the desire, conscious or
unconscious, of debtors 70 scale their
debts by paying them in deprecated
currency-the vague idea that more
money in circulation means more
money in each individuals pocket, with
out reference to his means or opportu-
nity to earn or acquire it,"

Both Repudiate 1t.

When you hear the New York World,
the Democratic organ of the East, talk
ing after this fashion it is high time to
put your money on Mckinley:
1.-The unexpected has happened in
the nomination for President
''Lunacy having dictated the plat
form, it was perhaps natural that hys-
terra should evolve the candidate. AS
the party is doomed to defeat by it's
platform, the ticket is of minor conse-
of the party. A political organization
can survive being made odious, but
there is peril in making it ridiculous.
''The nomination of boy orator
for the White House at this juncture
of the Nations affairs. domestic and
foreign, when the ripest experience,
the best tested wisdom, the broadest
patriotism and the greatest executive
ability are required, comes perilously
near taking this one fatal step from
the sublime.
'Jt is to the future that the World
looks in considering the effect of this
convention. There is no doubt as to
the result of the election except as to
the size of McKinley's popular and
electoral majorities. But the World
remembers that the Democratic party
has blundered frightfully in the past
and has survived and recovered from
the effects of it's unwisdom.
"We desire to see the old and splen-
did historic organization left, after de-
feat, in such condition that the frag-
ments can be made to cohere again in
1900. The World has warned Demo
Gratis that the adoption of the free silver
heresy would be suicide. But, unlike
individuals, political parties may COM
NIT suicide for year, for two or four
years.
''The duration of the suspended ami
nation of the Democratic party will
depend in some measure upon its can
yass, but more upon the spirit in which
it shall accept the discipline of defeat
and the readiness which it shall show
in returning to its historic principles
An even stronger repudiation is the
following from the Chicago Chronicle,
the only English Democratic news
paper in Chicago:
''It is necessary that the Democrats
of the United States should call anoth-
er convention. The convention held
in the Coliseum has been controlled by
the foes of commerce, of labor, of sound
finance and of Democracy. 1t has no
claim to the title of Democracy. The
Democrats of the country have not
been represented. at Chicago. They
have been delivered into the hands of
the enemy They must meet and or
ganize against their foes. Platform
and candidate represent Democracy
not at all, but are streaked with the
financial unsoundness of the Confeder-
ate States, the Bonanza Silver Mining
League and the corrupt Senatorial
League"
''As whole the money plank OF the
Chicago Convention is an assemblage
of the historical falsehoods and econo-
mic errors and heresies that have been
reiterated endlessly for the last twenty
years in all the Populistic and silver
gnlch platforms from Ocala to Denver,
and that have been made the text OF
furious diatribes by vengeful rebels
and screechingt Populists. 1t is that
plus an anarchistic assault upon the
sacred rights of private contract
