II was considered bx the finance conn.

II was considered by the finance com
mittee of the senate and the committee
on coinage, weights and measures of
the house during five different ses-
sions, and the debates on the measure
in the senate filed GO columns in the
Congressional Globe, and those in the
house 70 columns. Surely there is
nothing surreptitious nor 'stealthy"
about this.
AS to the so-called decentralization"
of silver, neither that nor any other
act of congress ever took away from a
single standard silver dollar any legal
tender quality once given to it, The
silver dollars coined before that time
were then, and have been ever since, a
law simply discontinued the coinage of
the silver dollar, and its use as stand
ard. The reason given by the director
of the mint, III. r. Linderman, in rec
ommending the bill, was that ''having
a higher value as bullion than its nom-
inal value, the silver dollar long ago
ceased to be coin of circulation, and
being of no practical use whatever, it's
issue should be discontinued" The
comptroller of the currency gave sim
liar view, when, referring to the fact
that the silver dollar disappeared from
circulation long before 1878, he said:
"The coinage act of 1873 simply regis
tered in the forming of statute, what
had been really been the unwritten
law for 40 years."
There was no trick and no secrecy
about the passage of the law. 1t was
well considered measure, and under
the conditions then existing, wise
measure. 1t established by law a
standard which was already the stand
ard in fact, and it aided in the resump-
ton of specie payments, which was
brought about by legislation adopted
two years later. The fact that ehor-
mously increased production of silver
has since deprecated the value of that
metal, does not discredit the Judgment
of the congressman Of all parties, who
were considering the subject before
that increased production any effect.

OFF GEORGES BANKS.

on Georges banks the sun went down
In crimson splendor cleaning,
As past the bar vessel sailed
With graceful pennant streaming,
And in her wake across the blue
A stormy petrol flew.
Then from their ambush crept the winds,
To wake each sweeping billow,
And in their grasp the strong masts shook
Like slender twigs of willow,
And, struck by whips Of foaming spray,
The good ship bore away.
Through darkling clouds the lightning
Glove
A jagged path asunder,
And in the gloomy vaults o'erhead
Deep rolled the sullen thunder,
While high above unnumbered graves
Up leaped the hungry waves.
Gray rose the dawn, and dreamily,
AS though 'twixt sleep and waking.
Low Tapped the waves as on the rocks
Their long, green lines were breaking,
And in the changing sky afar
Paled out single star.
Then seaward from the lonely reefs
The sun came up all slowly,
His first beams touched a white, white face
Among the seaweod lowly-
A dead face dashed to floating planks
Drowned thereof Georges banks.

Plenty of Bimetallism Now.

We have bimetallism in the United
States in every sense of the term. If the
gold man wants gold, he can get it. If
the silver man wants silver at 16 to 1,
he can get it. Based ON these two metals
and redeemable in them, or like them, in
the products of the world (the final re-
deemer Of all moneys) we have the
greenback, the treasury note and the ma
tional bank note, so that if the citizen
prefers paper to either gold or silver it
is within his reach.

dustrial classes formed when economic
conditions became more complex, /. g., the
help-employing, professional, employer
and employe classes, and showed how each
was employing capital. whether invested in
brain knowledge, lands, machinery or
muscle, or in the vigor that is chock full of
hard days work.
The necessity of a better medium of ex-
change than the barter previously dis
cussed led to the use of the precious met
ais coined as money. The necessary quail
tiles in n medium of exchange were found
and the characteristics of gold and silver
studied to ascertain why they should have
been so universally adopted. They were
found to be: G.) Universally desirable.
(2.) Easily dvisble. (3.) Readily trans
ported, because so great in value in pro-
portion to volume--the value determinable
by the labor required.
The other great requisite, durability,
was seen to require permanence of value
as well as of substance, which would re-
quire that the supply be steady one, IN
creasing with population and economic
activity without too rapid increase. In
this element of durability or stability was
found to be the root of the "money ques-
tom of today, and the opposing positions
were outlined. The students were urged
to study the questions involved-to settle
for themselves whether there were greater
danger from initiation or from contraction,
and to realize how earnest should be the
thought given to these problems which the
voters must solve for the veal or woe of
the nation.

interesting L.cture by Mrs. Osgood at Tenn
perance Temple

perdnCe Temple
AT the request of the central branch OF
the Woman's Christian Temperance as
sociation, Mrs. j. A. Osgood, at the Tenn
perance temple yesterday, very kindly
repeated n lecture on Ethics of Hospitality,
given some time ago to the Los Angeles
branch of the society.
In this charming lecture Mrs. Osgood
wished particularly to demonstrate tho
fact that true hospitality is to give to ones
guests the best of one's own individuality,
instead of striving to initiate more wealthy
friends, which usually results in disaster
to hostess and guests. She believed that
true politeness which is the ethics of hos
pitality, meant carrying out of the good
old maxim, "Do unto others as ye would
that they should do unto you"
Mrs Osgood incidentally gave many hints
as to the niceties of table appointments,
with its service, decorations, ETC., partici-
larly valuable to young wives and mex
perienced housekeepers.
A discussion followed, i'll which ideas on
certain points of etiquette. and forms of
announcement at social gatherings were
exchanged. Ii was thought that greater
attention should be paid to more general
entertainment of the husbands . special
friends, and that children should be
allowed to receive their little companions
more frequently at home, to teach them
early the ethics of hospitality.
A vote of thanks was tensered Mrs.
Osgood for her interesting lecture, after
which business matters received attention.
The committee that had been appointed at
former meeting to investigateimeans for
meeting frlendless women at trains, re-
ported that the Santa Fe depot was sup
piled with a matron who advised strangers
where to go, and that the southern Pacific
company, who had no station matron, had
given large space on its boards that could
be used for a sign to direct women in need
of assistance to the Temperance temple.
Steps were taken to have a sign placed as
soon as possible in the station.
Mrs. Saxton presided over the meeting in
the absence of the president.

rip to the Texas track (near the

of the cars, he lost his hold
and fell directly across the
track. Que or more cars passed
over his body, across his breast,
