little idea of the duties of matrimony and
maternity. They approach motherhood
with considerable fear. They ave learned
in a vague way that the baby's coming means
pain and danger. Few of them have been
told that these things are of the past. Pain
and danger are no longer necessary. BY the
regular use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton during the expectant period safety,
comfort and health are assured for both
mother and child.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is for
the cure Of all diseases distinctly feminine,
and for the inauguration of already healthy
organs in time of unusual strain. 1t pro-
notes regularity and relieves periodical
pains and discomforts. 1t has saved the
lives of thousands of women, as their own
testimony proves. Taken from among thou

DEMOCRATIC STUPIDITY.

Perhaps they know what they are doing,
but it was bad policy and worse politics
for the Democratic side of the Senate to
obstruct progress on the immigration BILL
The only reason that can be given for
such an act of stupidity is that by
opposing the bill the Democratic party
tanks it would make friends of the
foreign element of the country, but it
so happens that many of the strongest
advocates of the measure are foreign born
citizens. The burden of the bill is 60 ex-
clude adults who cannot read or write in
their own language, and this proposition
has met with the approval of nearly all
foreigners who have identified themselves
with this country.
But Democrats appear to be running
wild these days. Their hand is against
everything and everybody that is calcu-
lated to lift the country out OF the mire
and clay into which it has been dragged
by Democratic recklessness. As to the
pending immigration bill it could not be
twisted into reflection upon our foreign
born citizens. 1t is for their protection
quite as much it not more than for th ose

THE SUNDAY GALL"

To-morrow's issue of THE CALL will,
perhaps, be ali the more interesting to the
general reader because there will not be
another wonderful scientific discovery to
chronicle at great length. There will be
the same number of pages, however, and
all of them will be filled with the choicest
and most attractive of reading matter.
There are many novelties in the regular
Sunday departments and host of bright
features handsomely and artistically illus
trated. "The Sutter-street Mirage" and
Things That Happen in the City" will
be far from dull reading. There will be a
page of weird narratives about occult arts
and magic, perhaps the most striking of
which will be told in the language of
Tautriadella, the great English NEGRO
maneer and student of Bulwer Lytton.
There are some further studies of the
California snake, by those who have met
him, and quite novel pictorial and letter
press description of Maisons d'Ore in diff
ferent parts of the world. THE SUNDAY
CALL will, in truth, be filled with good
things for all kinds of readers, the titles
of which are far too numerous to mention
now

SILVER COINAGE IN EUROPE.

There is quite an active European de-
mano for American silver. 1t comes from
France and Spain chiefly for coinage pur-
poses, and the prices that are being OBJ
tanned are a shade higher than London
quotations. 1t appears that the increas-
ing demands of France and Spain more
especially for larger volume OF circulat-
ing money medium is the cause OF the
heavy buying of silver bullion IN this
country. 1t is said that quite number
of our smelters are sold ahead several
months, and that there is only small
quantity of bullion now on the market In
this country.
1t must be borne in mind that this de-
mand is not to meet the requirements OF
the arts and sciences, but for coinage pur-
poses, and that, too, because 1t is needed
to give those countries a necessary addl-
tion to their circulating money. If, then,
France and Spain can go ahead and coin
American silver into money independent
of the other nations of Europe, why can
not We? 1t is true, however dlstasteful
the fact may be to the advocates of the
gold standard. that the common people,
those who make wealth increases possible,
are everywhere demanding the unlimited
use OF silver as a money metal, and no
doubt Francs and Spain are simply obey
ing public sentiment in throwing their
mints open to silver.
But coming silver in France and Spain
does not help us in this country only in so
far as the moral effect goes, but it should
stimulate US to more determined effort
than ever to oblige our Government to re-
sumo the coinage of the white metal. Our
trade, traffic and commerce is suffering
from a monetary stringency, and arbi-
trarily so, for silver is arbitrarily and in
excusably withheld from its natural,
proper and Legitimate place in the avenues
of our business life.

During these days the work on the mines is
being pushed right along. There has been
good deal of rain up there; almost too much.
in fact Nearly all our properties are gravel

Forest Hill is SO high, being about $500 feet
above the sea, that the frost which came some
time ago, about cleaned us out of fruit. How
ever, there will be plenty of it in other parts OF
the county.
"If you want a nice place to hunt quail,

it is handy having mine. where you can get
your gold out, weigh it and end the whole
matter there.
"One beauty about it is that gold never de-
creases in value. You get it, and it is always
worth just so much. It fixes its own value.
But if you raise load of alfalfa, OF drive lot

things, you never know what price you Will

OONTRsTING DELEGATIONS.

The Chicago Democratic Convention is
almost sure to be a repetition of the
Charleston convention in 1860. There
probably would have been no very serious
split at Charleston had there not been so
many contesting delegations. Douglas
had a large following, and because
Buchanan's administration was making
war upon him his friends were all the
more determined to stand by the Little
Giant" The consequence was that there
were enough contesting delegates to do a
great deal of mischief, which they did,
and thus made Mr.. Lincoln's election GER
tain. The com bined vote of Douglas and
Breckinridge was larger than the vote
that gave the Presidency to the Republi-
can candidate. The administration left
no stone unturned to cripple Douglas and
strengthen Breckinridge, but although the
administration candidate received fewer
votes than did Douglas the election of
either was made impossible.
At the Chicago convention there will be
enough delegates for two conventions, and
as the party is so badly split on the lead
ing question OF the times it does not ap-
pear how two conventions can be avoided.
ne IaCIlOnS nave ROuS W tuc uCuOSL eA-
treme on the money question, leaving no
place at all for compromise, unless the
silverites surrender practically everything
they have been contending for. Under
the circumstances the Cleveland wing could
not afford to yield an inch for that would
be construed as meaning an official rebuke
to the President, who is, by virtue of his
Office, the first man of the party.
But there is still another wedge playing
havoc with the party. The operation of
the Wilson-Gorman tariff act has demon
strated the falIacy of Democratic tariff
theories; besides the re are now SO many
Democrats interested II industrial enter
prises and who would leave the party if it
should declare for still lower schedule of
custom-house charges, that the factions
are bound to make the money question the
leading issue. And, as we have said, the
factions are too widely separated on that
question to hope for unity.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the ultra
single gold standard faction charge the
other side with being little less than idiots
when it comes to knowing anything about
financial problems, and the silver faction
retort by charging the goldites with having
sold out the party to New York and Lon
don bondocrats. But it is an ill wind that
blows nobody good, and the more bitter
the Democratic faction fight, the better it
will be for the country.

A KENTUCKY ORATOR.

A new thinker, a rapturous orator, an econo-
mist more luminous than light has arisen in
Kentucky. His tongue is tipped with silver.
His deep eyes are as two full moons. On his

beauty OF roses. He makes political economy
more interesting than Stevenson and more

sheep forget their unprotected wool and hud-
die and bleat around him. He is the hope of
