Alleged Offer Mns Absurd.

Washington, Aug. 22. - Treasury Of
ficials know nothing about the report
that an American syndicate has offered
the Argentine republic $3.50 OO0, 900 in sil-
Yer for 100000, 600 per cent gold bonds.
and regard 1t as wild invention. In
the first place, the terms of the offer are
prepostcrous. If silver bullion TO the
value of S15O,000. 900 is meant. the syndi-
cate would be making the Argentine re-
public a present OF s50.0OO.0O If the
coinage value Is meant, the bargain
would be equally bad the other way.
There is no American syndicate which
can command either that much silver or
that much capital for Argentine bonds.

HEHASRESIGNED
Secretary HOke Smith To
Leave the Cabinet.
Resignation Has Been Ac-
cepted by President.
Only Member OF the Cabinet TO Sup
port Bryan's Candidacy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. For some time
rumors have appeared in print az to the
probability OF the early resignation of
Secretary Hoe Smith. There can now be
no doubt that he has resigned and that
bis resignation has been accepted.
For some days past shipments have
been made to Atlanta OF his books aud
papers, and II is learned that he has de-
clined to set any departmental business
TO be heard by him for date later than
this month. II can be safely assumed
that a successor will be in charge in
very short while. After the nomination
of Bryan it became known that Secretary
Smith was the only member of the cabi-
net who announced the purpose to sup
port the ticket and this action on his
part, while not in any way affecting his
personal relations between himself and
the other menbers of the ca binet, seemed
70 material to him that he felt con-
strained TO ten der his resignation. The
secretary declined to discuss the subject
IN any way.

HUMAN NATURE.

This is a strange world, but not one
half as strange and unique as the be-
ings which inhabit it and attempt to
regulate the various duties of the
world in general, and of their own i'm
mediate surroundings and fellow be-
ings in particular. That, ''this world
is what we make it," goes without
saying, and that leach man is his own
worst enemy" is saying as true as it
is trite. A study of human nature is a
study of human misery. Take the
man who is afflicted with the idea that
every other man is his enemy and is
plotting for his ruin and you have the
worst case of human suffering to be
found. AS general thing his is a
treacherous nature and following the
law of nature he judges others by him.
self and creates his own misery. Again,
the man whose head has outgrown his
hat on account of his swelled opinion
of self is always undertaking his broth
or which proves his own worthlessness.
The man who judges he can bluff the
universe finds that wind is harmless,
especially when confined within such
small space. The man who is too
awfully good to touch his neighbor
lest he be defled finds his neighbor
stunning him lest he become afflicted
with the same disagreeable itch. The
man too penurious to help the afflicted
finds the reflection of "miser" upon
every face and none so mean as to in
vite to "take something" The big
hearted, wide man, who feels and acts
with the boys, who can be depended
upon to stay with his fellow men
''sharing each others hardships, shar
ing each others joys" always finds
friends eager to help him and to rely
upon.-Fairfax Crescent.
