with an article from the pen of the ed
itor Of the Nelson Miner of British
Columbia, which will give you some idea
Of the position the Canadians take on
the silver question. This paper is pub
lished in the center of the largest sill
yer producing district in Canada (the
Kootenay mining district. The produc-
tion from that quarter since January

The price of English consols, the
name by which Great Britain's public
debt is known, has risen to 115, the
highest point ever reached. This price
pays investors just a little over 2 per
cent. Consols are regarded by English
and foreigners alike as the safest in
vestment in the world. Continental
Emperors with shaky thrones generally
had a snug sum put away in consols.
Dashing American spectators with
ruin staring them in the face. know how
pleasant it is to reflect that there are
few cool thousands in consols when the
inevitable crash comes. Creditors do
not always know of these nest eggs
There is little doubt that the enormous
price which consols have reached is
owing to the extremely unsettled state
of the American market. Everyone
who can is scrambling out of American
securities, while long headed and sound
American hnanciers are themselves
confding every cent they can muster
to the care of the nation they profess to
hate.
The reason of this is the rising popu-
larity Of Mr.. Bryan, and the possibility
of his being returned as President of the
United States. 1t is popularity supposed
that the result of his election, with
similarly minded Congress at his heels
would be an era of brain turning pros
perity. Silver would rise to almost any
figure and a kind of millennium would set
in. There is little doubt that some
thing Of this kind would happen-at
first. Cash would be plentiful. Floods
of ii would pour all over the United
States. Tradesmen would have to en-
large their tills to hold the money, while
the vaults of banks would rival the
SLOGAN Star. Money, it is said, will make
the mare "to CO." and for a time our
neighbors across the boundary would
be mad with the intoxication of sud-
denly acquired wealth With a stroke
Of his pen the President would turn sill
Yer into gold and thus perform a feat
supposed only to be within the power of
the philosophers stone
The citizens of the United States
would not be the only people to plunge
into the golden tide. All the nations of
the earth would turn their silver into
bullion. Coins. plate, trinkets, every
object made of white metal, private and
public property alike, would be run
down into bars and carried to the
United States. There the first comers

Eds. Record Union: The statement
in Polly divers" letter recently to the
effect that Mrs. Ross is supplying Mrs
Moynahan's place in the st. Paul S
choir during the absence of the latter
is an error. Miss c. Schubert, who has
been for two years member of this

but as Miss Schubert was unable to
sing one Sunday morning on account
Of a sore throat, Mrs. Ross kindly con-
sented to sing at that service. These

Spain pretends to be holding herself
in check to avoid going to war with the
United States. Just at this time she
can find no one to hold her skirts, and
hence she is self-checked, for assuredly
there is nothing on this side Of the
water to prevent her jumping in when
ever she pleases. But there is some
thing over our shoulder that has a de-
cidely deterrent influence just now,
namely, the attitude of the little brown
man. Japan is decidedly pugnacious
and has given Spain to understand
that if there is to be any change of con-
ditions in the PHILIPPINE Islands the
Japanese propose to have something to
say about it. In fact, Japan wants the

cuse for a row in order to get hold

Let American authors who mourn be-
cause their own people do not seem to
appreciate the results of their ''geni-
u.s. take comfort. After they are dead
and gone there may be a chance of re-
cognition. For how was it with Ger
vantes? So obscure was he that the
quarrel still goes on as to which of six
places is to have the credit of his nativ-
ity. His masterpiece, Don Quixote,
was ill-received, and the poor author
lived in misery and want and had little
or no notice from the Spanish. For
more than a century and a half, says
Mr. Jaccaci, in "Scribner's," his book
was regarded as only sort OF chap
book, and men of letters of his time
treated it with little respect, and most
of them wholly ignored it. Finally re-
cognition of it's merit came, but it came
from England After that, with Ger
vantes gone, the Spanish began mad
scramble to do justice to ''The Prince of
the Spanish Geniuses'

Westminster will receive at least
800, 600 TO be expended in erecting
and maintaining a library building.
Twenty-Five years ago Isaac Butter
field died in Boston, leaving property
on Haymarket square valued at
$50, 900 in the hands of the trustees,
the income to be used for the benefit
of his wife and two sons, and at their
decease TO revert to the town Of West
minister and be devoted TO library pur-
poses. The will required that the
building should be built ON the plain
between Cops Hill and Court House
hill. The widow died some years ago,
one of the sons is dead and the only
remaining son is in the insane asylum
at Worcester, Mass. Few people in
this town knew OF the bequest except
older residents. Now seemingly the
time is not far distant when it will be
available, and the property has APP
preciated in value to above 100000.
Mr.. Butterfield was not native Of
the town, but 10 years ago or more
was here few years learning the
trade of John Loyejoy.
He always followed his trade in later
years in Boston.

lhe knowledge that SO many forms of
hckness are not due to any actual dis.

lion Of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
II removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere eaeemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fcial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co only, and sold by all rep

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
