Two New Dances.

Mr.. NJ. B. Gilbert has had
two dances accepted by the
American Society Of Professors of Dano-
ing at its recent convention in New
York. One is a round dance entitled the
Harvard Caprice, performed to the time
Of O gayotte, an easy moving, sliding
dance of rather quiet mature, not only
pleasing to execute, but very beneficial!
in the practice Of dancing to. produce
graceful movements The other is a
dance partaking somewhat of the char
acuer of the minuet, which ia called
Esprit d Amerique. 1t is intended to
bear the same relation to America that
thu minuet does to France. The music
vas composed by Hermann Kotzsohlnar,
and is something of the style of the
march in Tannhauser. This was pro-
nounced by tho members OF the Assooia-
ton to be the moss artistic composition
ever presented to the Society.

MEETING GIVEN UP.
Hon. John L. Butler Didn't Address var
mouth Democrats.

Hon. John L. Butler, of Pc nnsylvania,
was to have ad dressed Democr attic rally
at Yarmouth Saturday evening, but the
meeting was given up by reason OF
prior engagements Of the hall. Mr.. But
Ter was seen at the Falmouth Saturday.
He is former newspaper man, and was
for four years statistician of the Bureau
of Industrial statistics, under Governor
Patterson. I He is now an attorney in
Harrisburg. Mr.. Butler said that he had
spoken In Bath. Waterville, South Thorn :
aston, Hallowell, Harrison, Pownal and
North Windham, and had had good au-
dienoes at all these places. He found
campaigning for free silver in this State
very difficult: because no free silver edu
cation had been attempted before the
campaign began. AS result the oam-
paign speaker had to use up all his time
on fthc most elementary phases of the
question. Mr.. Butler did not care to
mske any predictions as to this probable
sized of the Democratic vote In Maine.
he said that in Pennsylvania he felt that
the Democrats would cut down the Re-
public plurality of $50, 600 two years ago
to 100, 600.
Mr.. Butler in his spec ohes In Maine,
has dwelt particularly upon what he be-
lieves to be the scheme of the National
banks to bring abont contraction of the
currency, in order to make more room
for the National bank notes.

hearty greeting and spoke for an hour
and half.
After very felicitious Introductory re-
marks Senator Miller passed to discus
sion of the all absorbing topic of the time
honest money and made most earnest
and telling argument ..for .the preserva-
ton of the integrity of tn nation.
He denied emphaticaIly that the de-
monesization of silver had been instru-
mental in closing factory doors and
stagnatinR business. The currency in
stead of contracting has been increasing
We have now over fifteen hundreds of
millions of currency in use.
We have per capita circulation Of
S23 greater than that of Great Britain
and second only to that of France. T
In money actually transferred and used
for the transaction of business we ex-
coed even France for we have an i'm
mense check and draft system which is
but little used in France.
If prosperity depends on the per capita
wealth how is 1t with the silver using
countries which ore pointed out by the
silver orators as examples for us to emu
late? 1t is s5.11 in Mexico and s.. o. in
Japan as against our $23 If as these
peopleswho shout Clown with banks and
capitalists says, our wealth under gold
standard is passing into the hands of the
few, how do they account for the oondi-
tion of affairs in silver using Mexico
where you can ride for days over sin
gle estate and where the laboring Glasses
are little above slaves in their social
conditions? The charge that there is
not gold enough is ridiculous. It has
been constantly increasing.
In '73.the amount of gold was 115. 900, :
COO. In '94 1870. 600, 900 and in this year
of agitation 1t is 800, 0oo. 600. nearly doub-
led since the "crime Of '7s."
All the depreciation an commodities is
charged TO the demonstration of silver.
The real reason of depreciation Is the in
exorable law Of supply and demand.
Mr.. Bryan is changing his line argu-
mont somewhat when he comes to New
York and tells as silver will Immediately
rise to a parity with gold. If this is true
then falls the whole structure Of the
western silver argument and the farmer
will be no gamer.
Mr.. Miller's peroration was most
forcible and eloquent..appeal for strong
support of that policy and party that has
given this great nation its great advance
and prosperity, the party which believed
in protection and sound currency. two
great principles, but always marched
hand and hand.
Mr.. Miller was most warmly applaud
ed and congratulated when hs had con-
cluded.
