Where Can Money BE Borrowed Cheapests
Silverites who are bowling that the
robber goldbugs have conspired to
charge high rates of interest on their
loans should inform themselves on the
question on which they presume to
speak. If they were intelligent, they
would know that interest is far lower
in gold standard countries than in those
countries where silver is used. Compare
the United States, Germany or Great
Britain with India, China or Mexico.
In each and all of the silver standard
countries interest is much higher than
in the gold basis nations. If free silver
will lower interest, why does it not do
so in Japan and Mexico?

THE EFFICACY OF A COUNTER.
 SIGN

While Col. Gilman, with the Middle Tennessee Regiment, was occupying Nashville during the late war, he stationed sentries and patrols in all the principal streets of the city.
 One day an Irishman who had not been long enlisted was put on duty at a prominent crossing, and he kept a sharp and faithful watch. Presently a citizen came along.
 Halt Who goes there?'
 "A citizen" was the response.
 Advance and give the countersign. B
 T have not the cOuntersign," replied the indignant citizen, and the demand for it at this time and place is un- usual"
 Well, begorrah! ye don't pass this way until ye say Bunker Hill"
 The citizen, appreciating the situa- tion. smiled and advanced to the sentry and and cautiously whispered the magic words.
 Right! Pass on.' and the wide awake sentinel resumed his beat-Har- pers's Round Table.

 On the goth at p. m. the sun will en- ter Capricorn and it will be midwinter in the northern hemisphere.
 Jupiter now rises about midnight and is already in good position for observ- ing with a telescope. He will be sta- tionary on the 18th. After that date his motion will be retrograde.
 Saturn and Uranus are near each other in the Scorpion, and are both morning stars rising in the morning twilight.
 Neptune is in Taurus, degrees southeast of Mars, but of course invisi- ble to the naked eye.
 On the 31st at ? a. m. the earth will be in perihelion-the point In it's orbit at which it approaches nearest to the sun. We shall then be 3,000,000 miles nearer to the sun than we were in July.
 Mercury was In superior conjunction and is now an evening star During the second half of the month it will be visible in the southwest, but at rath- CT low altitude.
 Venus is also an evening star, visible toward the southwest She now sets an hour and half after the sun. Mars, in the constellation Taurus is now rapidly retrograding, or moving westward. It's direct opposition to the sun, when the earth will pass between it and the sun, will not occur until the 10th. The planets distance from the earth now is about 55,000,000 miles.
 All observations of Mars thus far re- ported are confirmatory of those made two years ago There can be little ques- tion now that the so-called seas" are the planets lowlands, and that they owe their color largely to vegetation of some sort. The orange-yellow areas formerly regarded as continents and | islands are very probably deserted | highlands.

The hearing in the injunction to re- strain Frank A. Wallace of Walling- ford from building upon ten feet of his land adjoining that of Stanley Botsford was resumed yesterday fore noon before Judge Shumway in the su- perior court.
 Botsford brought injunction proceed ings, claiming that the disputed ten feet constituted a pass-way.
 Wallace claims that it was not a pass-way of record, that he bought it in good faith, that he received no notice of any right of pass-way, and that there was no right in fact. He tried to erect small building on the dis puted land, but was stopped by the in junction.
 Attorneys H. G. Newton and H. F. Hall are counsel for Botsford, and All ing, Webb & Morehouse and O. H. D. Fowler for Wallace, The case is still on.

THE UNIT RULE.
At the State Convention in Lexington
White Metal Delegates Risidly Bind
Representatives Sent to Chicago and
Instruct for Black burn for President
Kentucky for Silver.

Kentucky's twenty-six votes at the
Democratic national convention will be
solidly cast for free silver and for Sena-
tor Blackburn as the party's presidential
nominee, with ''Silver Dick" Bland Of
Missouri as the probable second choice.
These two facts were decided upon in the
State convention at Lexington when the
white metal delegates thus bound the del
egation to Chicago with unit rule. The
silver men were SO thoroughly seated in
the saddle of favor that they rode rough
shod over the administration men. The
only concession TO the latter was aban-
donment of the plan to reject the two
sound money national delegates chosen
from the Fifth or Louisville district. This
concession is only upon the surface, how
ever, for the unit rule necessarily disfran-
chises them of the right to vote according
to their convictions. The action taken
had been long foreseen by political pro-
phets. Radical silver men wanted the

DEATH AT THE FEAST.
HORROR ATTENDS THE CZAR'S
CORONATION.
Nearly 5000 People Killed and In
jured at Banquct-Mad Rush for
Free Drinks-Crowd Overpowers the
Attendants and a Panic Ensues.
Fatal Crush in Moscow.

Over 1000 people, including many per-
sonages Of high rank, were trampled to
death in Moscow. The catastrophe oc-
CURED at a public feast, which had been
suread in the Hodynsky Plain, in front
of the Petrovsky Palace, in honor of the
coronation Of the Gear. The disaster oc-
CURED between and 6 o'clock in the
morning. 1t was intended that the ban
quet should commence before noon, but
the immense throng which had gathered
around the sheds where the liquor mugs
were to be presented and the food distrib-
uted became so dense that the attendants
were overpowered and thrown to the
ground in the mad struggles which COM
menced for food and the gifts, and many
Of these attendants being numbered
among the dead. The police made des-
perate attempts to control the people, but
all their efforts were futile, and men,
women and children were trampled upon
by hundreds.
Some terrible, heartrending scenes were
witnessed among the survivors who were
seeking relatives among the victims. The
latter were mostly peasants, and few Of
them have as yet been identified. They
were lying in heaps, as they had been ex-
tricated during the afternoon, their chush-
ed, blood-stained and horribly distorted
faces upturned in the scorching sun. Gray.
haired men and women lay alongside chsl-
dren and sturdy men, all crushed as il
beneath heavy rollers. Among the dead
were ladies evidently of high rank dressed
in fine silk and adorned with rich jewels.
Cause of the Disaster.
The disaster, it is now explained, was
due mainly to the absence of the police,
who had not arrived at So early an hour
in the morning ut the scene where the fes-
tivities were scheduled to take place. Fully
200, 900 persons of all grades of society
had gathered on the Hodynsky plain at
the time the disaster occurred. Only
1000 attendants were in charge, and they
seemed to be unable to control the mob.
Hoping to lessen the pressure of the as
sembled hundreds of thousands, all NOV
ing toward a common center, they tossed
the packages and presents into the midst
of the crowd. This seemingly precipitat-
ed the panic, since a scramble to obtain
possession of the gifts ensued. and the
hollow piece of ground near the center
formed "A death trap for thousands.
No Halt in Festivities.
The following evening the Gar and
Czarina attended and danced at the bril-
liant ball at the French embassy. Prep
arations had been made on a most elab-
crate scale for this ball, and it is asserted
that $4,000 was expended on the supper
alone, rare viands and delicious fruits
and vegetables being brought from the
most distant climes to add To the delights
of the feast, while France furnished the
costliest and most elegant fabrics and
furniture to set off the beauties of the pal
ace where the embassy is lodged.

made n national assemblyman in 1872,
and four years later was elected to the
chamber. For fifteen years he was al
most constantly before the public as dep
uty or as filling some function under the
patronage or necessity Of some ministry.
He was under secretary of the interior
with Grevy, but resigned at one months
end. Later he was made a member of
the tariff commission. In 1888 we find
him minister of agriculture. Retiring in
1885 with Ferry's cabinet, he went back
to the chamber, and in 1888 he presided
over that body. Since then he has been
in the chamber at odd times, and has
never been out Of the public eye. He is n
sharp politician, a good statesman, and
thoroughly understands the temper of his
countrymen.
