CONG. TowNE TALKS
Gives Reasons. tor Declining to
Act With His Old Party.

The following is the statement of the
popular Duluth congressman, who,
while not q delegate at st. Louis, was
one of the leading men st the convention
and who walked out OF the hall with the
senators and delegates who declined to
support the gold platform:
II shall say only few words at this
time. After returning home I shall
plianly and at more length set forth in
print my reason for refusing to act dur
ing this campaign with the republican
party, q conclusion to which self-inter-
est conld not lead me, but which have
reached in obedience to solemn injunc-
ton Of duty and which announce with
PAIN. In brief, the reason is this: The
party has confessedly reversed it's posi-
ton on one Of the fundamental articles
of its faith. From bimetsllisn 1t has
gone over to monometallism. It is not
case of changing the mere method Of
reaching an end. 1t is a complete
abandonment OF the end itself. The
party has heretofore held to the doctrine
of two basic money metals. 1t has now
decided for only one. Its old faith was
for gold and silver. 1t now rests on
gold alone.
"When party chsnRes it's fundamen-
tai principles no member is bound to
follow it. No honest man can follow it
unless his judgment and conscience ap-
prove the change. Now my judgment

The Disasters in Japan.

Owing to the vast amount of inter.
est taken in the big confagration and
food at Kobe, Japan, the American
house of foreign missions has given
the following description Of the miss,
ionary field in that city: Kobe, Japan,
which has been nearly wiped out by a
conhagration and by floods and storms
and earthquakes, is the fifth city OF
Japan. 1t is situated on the northern
shore of Izuni bay. 1t was first
opened for foreign trade in January,
1868. Under the stimulus of its for
eign trade this petty town grew rapidly
and at length absorbed its rival,
Hyogo. Its population is Is3,2So.
AS a center of foreign trade Kobe
ranks next to Yokohama. The amount
of the exports and imports for 1894
was $S6,348,6I6. The first mission
aries of the American board in Japan
took up their residence in Kobe,
March 81, 1870. The first church
was organized in April, 1874. The
present field of Kobe station I indie
pendent and IS Kumiai churches,
with membership of $500.

'After l had seen and heard more
of the cure, found myself longing for
q real good opportunity to try it. Well,
the chance came. l was out walking
In the Park in the evening with some
friends, and one of the ladies suggest
ed that it was hot enough to try most
anything that had tendency to cool
one off. In very short time three
women were experimenting on the
lawn. The grass was long and soft,
and felt like plush to our feet. There
was just enough earth moisture to
keep 1t cool. We had soon covered sew
eral blocks of territory, and found the
result satisfactory. Indeed, it was
simply delightful.

Gold Bug Story.

The Rev. Tom Dixon, in his ser
mon at the Academy of Music, New
York, said that Mr.. Bryan and his
followers proposed to permit him to
pay $1,000 he had borrowed with
$500. A man in the congregation
promptly called the preacher liar.
The lie is not original with the Rev.
Tom Dixon. 1t has been one of the
stock arguments of Republican plat.
form orators since the campaign
opened Charity may go SO far as to
say that probably the Rev. Tom
Dixon had no intention of lying, but
simply repeated, without due consid-
Grafton, that which he had heard some
deceiving or misleading person state.
When charity feels like stretching
itself it can cover a good deal How

has been directed to the falsity of the
statement he owes it to his congrega.

have believed in the lie that the gold
bug campaigners have told and still
persist IN sticking to, let us say that
the Democratic national platform Of
1896 adopted at Chicago, demands
that the standard silver dollar, coined
at the legal ratio Of 10 to I, shall
be a full legal tender equally with
gold for all debts, public and private"
There is not, and never can be, a
SO cent or So cent dollar in the
country. The value of money is fix
ed by law. The word " one dollar
on piece Of silver means the same as
the identical words on a piece of gold,
and the silver coin will buy just as
much as the gold coin, regardless of
the market price of bullion. Uncle
Sam places no false stamps upon his
money. The silver dollar is more
honest than the gold dollar.-Et.

look Out for the Voice.

You often hear boys and girls say
words when they are vexed that sound
as if made up of snarl, a whine and
a bark. Such voice often expresses
more than the heart feels. Often
even in mirth one gets a voice or
tone that is sharp, and it sticks to
him through life. Such persons get a
sharp voice for home use and keep
their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere. l say to all boys and
girls, " Use your best voice at
home. Watch it day by day as a
pearl of great price, for it will be
worth more to you than the best
pearl in the sea. A kind voice is a
lark's song to heart and home.
Train it to sweet tones now and it
will keep in tune through life."

COW DUG OUT OF HAIL.
Terrible Visitation Upon the susquehanna
Valley.

When hailstones bury COW so that
farmers have to shovel her out, the
occurrence is so uncommon even in
the valley of the Susquehanna that a
correspondent there rightly considers
1t piece of news. And when he ac-
companies the story with a double
barreled cross-my-heart-hope- re-
iteration of its truth, the event is sure
to attract more than ordinary notice.
Consider the attending circum-
stances. "It was one of the most de-
structive storms Of the kind ever
known in this section" he writes, and
1t must have been, for he adds, zone
barn was blown down and another
was moved from it's foundations" :"
This startling phenomena, to be sure,
took the correspondents attention for
moment from the refrigerated cow,
but soon the horrors of the situation
return, and the faithful chronicler
continues: "Three days after the
storm farmers gathered hail and froze
Ice cream, and there were several wa
gon loads on one farm a week after
the storm. The hailstones formed
themselves into Jumps, weighing from
one to three pounds"
AS corroborative evidence that the
COW was dug out of her cover of hail,
1t may be added that "fields of grain
were laid as fiat as though q heavy
roller had been used over them. In
one piece of woods trees were blown
down by the score, and the bark was
peeled clean from trees and shrubs"
on the side next to the storm. The
account must be believed. Nor would
1t cause surprise to hear that the Ice
landic blast had made a mooley of
every cow in the beautiful Susque
hanna valley. And as for the smaller
farm animals, it is sad to reflect upon
what a storm that could bury COW
with hailstones must have done to the
poor pigs caught between trough and
sty.

Remarkable Eighteen Letter Names.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is anything remarkable in a
name of IS letters where they COM
pose both the given name and the
surname ? Note the following re-
markable list: Lucius Domitius Nero,
Nicholas Copernicus, William Shakes
peare, Emanuel Swedenbourg and
Napoleon Bonaparte. BY spelling the
name of the discoverer of America as
the Italians do, Colombo, it, with the
Christopher, makes another name of
IS letters. The above six, each with
IS letter names, are among the best
known persons of history.
