Properly Named.

The White Mans Grave is a ghastly name, well deserved by the Sierra Leone coast, but, according to Lieut. Col Trotter, who has been settling tha Anglo-Fresch boundary in that region the Hinterland of Sierra Leone is moro like the white mans paradise This Hinterland is a fertile district, with plenty of water, capable of producing almost anything, suitable for cattle raising and healthy for Europeans quite unlike the coast hne.-Chieago Tribune.

THE SITUATION ALL RIGHT.

By the action of the National Silve,
party and the Populists at st. Louis Bry
ans election as president of the nation il
now assured beyond doubt. We may ado
that, despite all the complications now
surrounding the vice-presidency, Sewall
the Democratic nominee, will be the next
vice-president.
If Tom Watson, of Georgia, should
shortly find out where he is ''at" and with
draw from the Populist ticket-more than
possibility, we are persuaded-in order
to make certain Sewall's election and "the
triumph of principle for the good of
humanity" all will be we'll, and the situa-
tion will be thoroughly slmplified.
Should he fail to do this then the election
of vice-president will probably be thrown
into the senate.
What does that meanf II certainly
does not mean, as Ignatius Donnelly
says, shat the Populists hold the balance
of power there and will compel the cleo
tion of Watson" but it does mean that
the free coinage Democratic senators,
With the aid of Senators Teller, Dubois,
Pettigrew, Jones Stewart, Cannon, Man
tie, Allen. Kyle and, perhaps Carter,
would provide safe majority for Sewall.
Under the circumstances, therefore, We
may regard the situation as in every way
most hopeful for Democracy and free
coinage.

continuance of their existence as banks
of ISSUE"
Mr.. Editor, not the least of the issues
of the pending compaign is, whether the
people shall govern the banks or the
banks govern the people, and there is
occasion for rejoicing that there has
arisen champion of the people, as the
standard bearer of the new Democracy,
who declares that rights of free men are
not considered at bankers BANG uets," and
who can be depended upon to carry out
to the letter the demands of the platform
that the power of bankers in the govern
ment shall not be extended.
When the government shall be restored
to the people, through the election of
Bryan and Sewall, and a secretary of the
treasury installed who will compel the
money changers to accept standard silver
dollars as money of redemption, instead
of paying out gold coin for export, there
will be no further necessity for the issu-
ance of bonds to perpetuate the national
banking system and their existence as
banks of issue can be probably terminat-
ed when their charters expire.
The bankers claim that the government
should go out of the banking business,
but believe that the people will decide
that the banks shall go out of the govern
ing business. ID. p. CARR,

SIXTEEN TO ONE.

Sixteen to one simply means
the basis of valuation fixed by
law between gold and silver. six
teen ounces or grains of silver
equaling in value one ounce or
grain of gold.
Previous to 1878 silver was re-
ceived by the United States minis
and coined on the 16 to basis
and the nation was prosperous.
During that year silver was de-
monetized by bill which simply
dropped the words "Silver Dol
lar from the coinage law. 1t
was some time after the bill was
signed before it was known that
it had killed the coinage of sill
yer. President Grant claimed
that he signed the measure with
out noticing the omission of the
Silver Dollar" Afterward Con-
gresham Bland introduced
bill to remonetize silver but it
was vetoed by President Hayes.
Finally in 1890 the Sherman act
directing the government to pur-
chase l,500,0O0 ounces per month
was passed. This act was re-
pealed in 1893 and silver again
demonetized. Previous to this
silver was also killed in India.
Now the friends of the white
metal simply ask that silver be
restored to its oldplace.

However much the German CORES
pondents may endeavor to talk away
the object of the visit Of Prince Ludwig
Of Bavaria to the emperor to explain"
his Moscow speech. the real truth seems
evident that he has had to apologize
and make his peace in a more or less
humiliating manner. The offending re-
mark was: II am not vassal of the
emperor, am his ally" But it seems
that this did not go with William, who
likes no half measures. and the result
is that while the matter is now appar-
emily adjusted with satisfaction to both
sides nobndv doubts but that the prince

It is announced that Nikola Tesla
has perfected his vacuum tube sys-
tenn of electric lighting without wires,
the possibilities of which he first
brought to public notice five years ago
in lecture before the American in
stitute Of electrical engineers. This
light is whittier, more brilliant and
more intense than the arc light, and
Is produced with a much smaller
amount Of electrical energy. Tesla fur
Their states that his apparatus has been
greatly simplified, and he will soon
have 1t ready for practical use" Work
ing ON different lines, Thomas A. Edi-
son, according to the Electrical Re-
view, has succeeded in developing a
new electric lamp or vacuum tube, "by
means of which the Roentgen or X rays
are turned into pure light. Edison's
new lamp is an ordinary Crookes tube,
coated on the interior surface with
crystals Of new fiuorescent substance
which he has discovered, similar to
tungstate Of calcium. The x rays. In
passing through this coating Of crys-
tails, are changed to light. Very little
heat is generated, and nearly the whole
Of the electrical energy expended is
transformed into light. Mr.. Edison
believes that there are great possible
ties In his discovery"

The latest fashionable disease is
what is called memory blindness" and
is produced by over-mental work. Its
victims, while otherwise in perfect
health and excellent physical condition,
forget everything and when attempting
TO talk chatter mere nonsense They
try also to concentrate their wandering
thoughts by endeavoring to put down
on paper what they wish to say, but
this also results in mere written non
sense. The attacks. while frequent.
are of short duration, sometimes pass
ing away in an hour. The disease is
said to differ entirely from paresis, as
it is durable, and all that is necessary
to relieve the sufferer is to put him be-
yond the reach of mental work, care or
worry for few weeks. In any case
it seems to be one of the undesirable
products of our nineteenth century
existence, hardly to be called life.

A carnival of suicide is taking place
all over the United States. Statistics
on this subject have shown for years
that June is par excellence the suicide
month Of the year. and certainly the
frequency with which these sad events
have been recorded in the papers dur
ing the past month seems to bear out
this theory The remarkable feature
of many of these century-end suicides
is that they do not proceed from any
apparent or definite purpose. but from
some mysterious agency which is
doubtless the general "tired-of-life"
feeling which is so common at the pres
emit time of decadence and degeneracy.
