A SPECIMENT ARGUMENT.

The following is one of Judge
Crispo's favorite illustrations
of the horrors of the gold stan.
dard:
Suppose that you had been
owing a debt of 800 for five
years. You could have satisfied
that debt five years ago with
two bales of cotton. Today it
will require three bales of cot
ton to cancel the same debt.
The reason is the supply of
money had been reduced and
the demand has corresponding
ly increased"
"There are several fallacies
in this statement" says the
Atlanta Journal. "In the first
place the supply of money has
not been reduced within the
last five years, either in bulk
or per capita:
But if Judge Crisp's argu-
ment is good there must have
been an immense increase in
the currency last year, for while
ii would have required nearly
fonr bales Of cotton to pay |
debt of 500 in 1894, two bales
and a quarter would have paid
it in 1895.
off Judge Crisp is ignorant
on the subject he is discussing,
he should inform himself be-
fore he passes as Democratic
leader. If he knows more than
his speeches indicate. he should
not try to deceive the people.
"When a politician, after
study and thought, changes
from being a free coinage to d
sound money advocate, he is a |
turncoat and a traitor, but
when, to keep in the political
swim, he changes from sound
money to free silver coinage;
God bless him. he is a states
man and a patriot say all the
silverites."

TIE FUNNY MAN ATCu1cAGo.

AulOHp IauplldDlO lHCluSntS OCCui-
ring during the convention at Chi
cago last week was the attempt of
Delegate Marsden OF Louisiana to
make a speech, lie was the funny
man of the convention, who helped
himself nine times to ice water,
while the convention roared afresh
each time. His effort is described
by the Republic correspondent as
follows:
at is safe to say that there will
never again occur in the span of life
allotted to B. w. Marsden of Louis
iana a chance for him tc make such
hit with so many people as he
made today. Mr.. Marsden is a del
egate. He looks like old prints of
Coopers, the English pugilist, and
owns a voice that ranges all the way
from faisetto up. Just after the
great speech of Colonel Fellows in
the convention this afternoon, Mr..
Marsdeu walked up to the plf torn
like the pitcher of a country nine
going to bat. He was in earnest,
and desperately in earnest. In his
hand he carried a white handker-
chief, which he waved patronizing-
ly at the cheering crowd. Before
Chairman Ilarrity had chance to
introduce him, Mr.. Marsden started
in with the opening declaration OF a
speech he intended to make in favor
of Senator Daniel-"Iti IS not that we
love David Hill less, but that we
love Democracy MORE" he shouted,
as though he was afraid he would
forget it When he reached "more,"
the voice took a rising tendency and
ranged around clear up in the pic
lures, 1t was so funny that the au-
1ience broke into yell of JOY. Here
was a man to enliYen the proceed
ings. Mr.. Marsden, evidently salts
fed with himself, took a drink Of
water and the crowd cheered him
lgain. lie promptly took another
rink, and again the crowd cheered.
lie stood waving his handkerchief,
1ut the crowd was insistent in cheer
ng, and so Mr.. Marsden took anoth-
n drink. He tried TO drink all the
water in the pitcher, and at every |
resh effort the crowd would laugh T
nd veil in glee.
"Finally Mr.. Harritv succeeded in 1
citing hearing of Mr.. Marsden, '
nd Mr.. Marsden started IN at the 5
op of his voice. lie had uttered a
bout 10 words when somebody in t
he gallery cried Louder !" in spite P
f the fact that Mr.. Marsden was p
llking loud enough then to be heard p
4 Pullman. The demand was so in
that the crowd broke =
,ose again IN whirlwind oflaugh-
ar, and Mr.. Marsden took another +
rink of water. 1t was his last drink. Z
-e was politely escorted from the
age and the speech he started off
, dramatically will have to be de
vered somewhere in Louisiana. lie
i'll never get chance TO spring it
this convention"

Gladness Comes

\GTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why il is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by ali
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. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful !
physicians, but if in need of laxative, |
one should have the best, and with the |
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of |
Figs stands highest and is most largely |
used gives most general satisfaction. |

Not Divided IN Death.

A Denver, Col, paper, under the above
head. gives an account OF the death OF Mr..
and Mrs. Serene Dexter, natives OF Ran
dofph. who entered into rest January 10th
and 10th at the ages of eighty and seventy
nine years, respectively.
After their marriage in December OF
1S43. Mr.. and Mrs. Dexter moved to Gran
vile, where they resided until lS55-o6,
when, having purchased the farm on
which Mr.. Sylvanus Carpenter now lives,
they returned to Randolph and remained
seventeen years, before gong west.
The funeral is described as follows:-
"The double funeral of Mr.. and Mrs.
Serene Dexter, the aged couple who died
within such short time of each other last
week, took place from Miller's undertake
ing parlors, and the services were charac-
terized by the utmost simplicity, accord
ing to the wishes of the old people. All
the surroundings were suggestive OF the
manner OF life OF the two who had passed
hand in hand into the eternal beyond.
Two black hearses stood in front OF the
place where the services were held, though
It would have been but one had there been
suitable vehicle to accommodate both
caskets. In the undertaking parlor, a
small circle OF those who had known the
couple, had gathered to pay their final
tribute of respect. The exercises were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. Allen of st. James
Methodist Episcopal church and were very
simple, as had been the wish OF those in
whose memory they were held. The favor
lite hymns of husband and wife, Rock of
Ages and Nearer My God to Thee were
sung by those present without accompan-
iment, and Mr.. Allen read some appropri-
ate passages of Scripture, followed by
prayer The bodies were taken to the
Paramount cemetery, where they were
lowered into one grave, after the reading
OF the simple burial service OF the Episco-
pal church,

Concerning the stock Farm Herd.

The State Board of Agriculture, by APP
pointment with Mr.. Moulton, came 10
Randolph, Monday, to consider the mat
ter of testing the herd Of Jersey cattle at
the Green Mountain Stock farm, and met
the veterinaries, Edwin Moore OF Albany,
N. Y, Herrick of Woodstock and Symonds
of Massachusetts, who had been invited
here by Mr.. Moulton to meet the Board.
At consultation at the Red Lion Inn,
the subject of testing by tuberculin, as
well as by skillful physical examination,
was discussed pro and con, and after the
short discussion of the matter, Mr.. Moul-
ton made the following proposition: that
the owners of the herd would, at their
own expense, have most careful physi-
cal and tuberculin test made of all the
animals, under the direction of DIR. Edwin
Moore OF Albany; and such animals, if any,
as show signs of tuberculosis, by either
examination, are to be isolated from the
herd and further tested in the same man
ner after reasonable lapse of time. All
animals found to be diseased and con-
demned, will be killed without compen-
sation from the state. All animals that
shall stand the test are to be removed at
once to other stables on the farm which
have been thoroughly fumigated and dis
infected.
After brief consideration of this pro-
position by the Board, they suggested
that the veterinary Of the Board, DR.. F. A.
Rich of Burlington, be associated with DIR.
Moore in making the tests and expert
ments, to which suggestion Mr.. Moulton
very readily acceded.
After this arrangement had been COM
pleted, the several members of the Board
and the yeterinaries visited the stables
and found everything In the most perfect
sanitary condition, and all of the cattle,
consisting of about $50 head, appeared to
be in fine condition and good state of
health.
Board departed by train for their work in
