The latest international suggestion is
to have, if possible, a universal census
in the year 1900 for the systematic col
lection and tabulation of the principal
data for every civilized nation, as nearly
as possible on the same day of theyear.
Pretty soon this old world will become
so small that it will all be like big
family and wars will be as far out of
the question as duel between brothers.
1t will only need few more inventions
like the steam engine and ocean cable
and telephone to bring about the result.

The doctor thinks he can save John
L. Sullivan, but it will be by scratch.
Would it not be just as well if he would
let the scratch go? 1t seems to us that
enough has been published and suf-
fered from that big loafer during the
last ten years. If he will only die now
from the wounds received in falling
from train, it will be very liable to
save him from dying some time with
his boots on at the hands of some one
who will stand no more of his abuse.

A New idea,

A gold contemporary says that the
only honorable and honest course is
for the government to pay its debts in
money worth 100 cents on the dollar.
Between 1884 and 1873 both gold and
silver we're money of ultimate redemp-
ton. 1t was lawful and honorable to
pay debts and redeem currency in
either. But during all this period the
government and banks paid obligations
in the money of the cheaper metal.
Silver was worth on the gold basis 103
cents on the dollar. Gold was worth on
the silver basis 81 cents on the dollar.
Yet the fact that silver was overvalued
is now given as reason why it should
be demonetized It occurred to no one
In the period between 1884 and 1873
that it was dishonest to pay obligations
in money of the cheaper metal In fact,
this is the essential principle of bimet-
ellism. Always pay debts in money of
the cheaper metal, and the greater use
of that metal will in time restore the
equilibrium. The idea that the cred
itor must be given the option was con-
.ceived in Great Britain about the time
it became creditor nation, and was in
,corporated into American law in 1873. |
The income of Stratton, the Cripple

and there is enough ore on the walls of
the shaft to yield. perhaps, 100000.

And make your stomach grow round

And fine cigars, too,
And oranges and lemons,

He Loved His Master.

The other day the cook was away
and Louis, who was very busy writing,
took his meals in his room. Knowing
there was no one to cook his lunch, he
told Sosimo. his body servant, to bring
surprise he was served with an excel
lent meal-an omelet, a good salad and
perfect coffee.
'Who cooked this?" asked Louis, in
Samoan.
II did, said Sosimo.
We'll" said Louis, great is your
wisdom"
Sosimo bowed and corrected him -
"Great is my love"
Long ago Louis had a topaz stud that
was somewhat difficult to put into his
shirt so he gave it to me. 1 laid 1t
away in my trinket box and was dis
mayed when I first wanted to wear it
to find it gone. Sosimo had missed the
stud, discovered 1T in my box and car
ried it back to Louis room. I kept up
the fight for some time, trying to Sc
crete it from Sosimo by putting it in
out of the way places, but it was in
variably found in Louis room, no mat
ter where 1 had hidden it.
When he came up from the ship he
put Louis valise down on the veranda
and carefully distracted from his
mouth the precious stud he had carried
there for safety. l gave up then, and

the crisis of 1860. The movement
launched at Chicago is an attempt to
