COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THE FIFrY-CENr DOLLAR.

The cry of @fifty-cent dollar" raised
by gold men in the East, is reacting
upon employers. At Hazleton, Penn
sylvania. many Of those employing
large numbers of men, have expert
enced considerable trouble. The men
got it into their heads that silver dol
lars and paper money were not worth
more than half their face value, and
at the monthly paydays refused to
take anything but gold coin. One
man, a contractor, who employed 300
men, could not get gold enough to
pay them. The men hald u meeting
and decided that they would be gold
men commercially, if their employers
were gold men politically, and that
their labor should be paid for on a
Sound money" basis, only. The
contractor called at his bank and
wanted 81. ZOO in gold. He was dumb
founded when the teller told HIM he
could not get that much gold in the
country. Out of S11.OOO,OO0 on de-
posite in the several banks in the
country, it was estimated that not
oue-half the amount of gold which he
required was i'll circulation. The la
borers refused to take more than five
dollars in silver or paper, and the con
tractor was greatly embarrassed.
That is treating the gold man right
They have been insisting that silver
dollars are tifty-cent dollars, and Gheir
employees are taking them at their
word. Out of 5lOO00,0O0 on deposit
in the banks there it not $500 in gold
coin and the laborers whom they en-
ploy will not take anything but gold
for their wages. People who do not
handle ten-dollar gold piece in their
business in six months, insist on the
single gold standard, and when their
ployes follow their example they CAN
not find gold enough in the banks to
pay them Il months wages.--Reno

osity was felt as to Senator Jones'
opinion of it. Asked what he
thought of the effort the Senator
replied by telling the following sto-
ry:
aMany years ago Nevada preacher,
noted in the sagebrush State as well
for his sound sense as for his piety,
was driving a mule team up the GEL
ger grade. When about Dead Mars
Point the team baked. The preacher
exhausted during the succeeding two
hours all the opportunities Of per-
suasion consistent with his cloth, but
to no purpose. Finally, when he had
about given up in despair, traveller
came along, and seeing the worthy
minister's predicamept, offered his
services. He grabbed the wheel
mule by the bit, kicked him in the
belly and applied. to his muleship all
the rich and variegated expletives Of
which the western mule driver is IA

last one the team started.

Bro. Bragg, in the course Of a long,
rambling reply to our query as to
whether the financial plank of the st.
Louis platform is a step toward the
free coinage of silver bowls for pro-
lection and says that neither the Ga
zette nor Brother Bragg will leave the
Republican party until it finds bet
ter party to go to-"
We did not ask Brother Bragg to
leave the Republican party. We only
wanted our mind SGT ut rest on the
question we asked him. Now, as to
whether there is better party than
the Republican to go to, we can only
say that the Prince Of Darkness
would not exchange his seat near the
fiery furnace of the internal regions
for a place at the foot of the great
white throne. Why? Because he is
well pleased with his surroundings
and likes the atmosphere of the lower
regions. So it is with Bro. Bragg.
He would rather be porter to the
Republican gold trust than wear fine
linen i'll the palaces of the silver
hosts. lie is willing to aid in the un-
doing OF Nevada if he can only sit at
the feet of the golden calf.
As n consistent Republican Bro.
Bragg stands firmly on the st. Louis
platform and swallows the golden
pill with evident relish. With him it
is party above principle, a place
among the elect of the Republican
faith above the prosperity not only of
Nevada but Of the people of the whole
United States.

THE TURKISH KAIK.

Crawford, the author, to whose skill.

one of the most charming volumes ever
issued in it's praise, has 4 word to say
about the Turkish boatmcn and their
vehicle, the kaik.
"Constantinople owes much,' writes
me, "to the matchless beauty of the
three waters which run together BE-
meath it's walls, and much of theirrepu-
tation again has become worldwide
by the kaik. 1t is disputed and dis
putable whether the Turks copied the
Venetian gondola or whether the Vene.
tIans initiated the Turkish kaik, bus
the resemblance between them is so
strong as to mako it certain that they
have n common origin. Take from the
dongola. the felse', or hood, and the
rostrated stem, and tho remainder IS
practically the kail It is of all craft of
its size the swiftest, the most easy to
handle and the most comfortable, and
the Turks generally are admitted to be
the best oarsmen in Europe.
Indeed, they have need to be, for
both the Bosphorous and the Golden
Horn are crowded with craft of every
kind, and made dangerous by the
swiftest of currents. The distances,
too, ade very great, and such as no or
binary oarsman would undertake for
pleasure or for the sake of exercise.

ARGENT number Of the New Bulletin
(1gil cer tains some particulars of
" i.-sS eHst ng problem, which some
years ae0 was submitted by the treas
ury to the Kew authority.
The question was: Does natural sugar
occur in tobacco? and in the investiga-
tion of this point some striking facts
have been brought to light. The treas
ury authorities were, of course, chiefly
interested from a fiscal point of view,
the duty on tobacco (other than cigars)
being is Cd, except in thecase of sweet
ened" tobacco, which, is charged at
As 10d, but cigarettes made of the sweet
cned article are not allowed to be i'm
ported at all. Before, this investiga-
ton it was generally admitted that to-
bacco did not contain more than a trace.
of saccharine matter.
On the advice of Prof. Church, DIR.
Hugo Miller was called in, the latter
making a thorough examination of the
question. Commercial samples of
bright; Virginia tobacco, undoubtedly
free from adultefat;on, We're found to
contain as much as 15:2' per cent. of
saccharine matter. Sun-dried leaves of
nicotiana tabacum, grown at Kew, con-
tanned 6:2 per cent, and those of the
same species grown at Ewell railway
station as much as Q per: cent. DR..
Miller finds the saccharine matter to
be OFFICIALLY inactive when tested by the
polariseope. He is of the opinion that
neither cane sugar nor glucose is pres
ent in the saccharine matter, but that it
is composed of at least three sugar-like
| substances, probably hitherto I'M
known.

FUNCTION OF THE SPLEEN.
It Is Kind OF Safety Valve to the Blood
Circulation.

1t La q Kind of Safety Valve to the Blood
Circulation.
The spleen, of old, writes DR.. Andrew
Wilson in the Illustrated London News,
formed an organ which puzzled the
classic Psychologists. 1t did not seem
to manufacture any secretion. like the
liver or sweet-bread; and they knew,
as we do to-day, that removal of the
organ is not necessarily attended by
much disturbances of the vital func-
tions-a fact due to the duties of the
missing spleen being laid on the shout
ers Of other organs, most probably the
Emphatic glands. The spleen is un-
doubtcdly blood gland. lis the scot
Of manufacture of the corpuscles of
the blood, red and white, and it no doubt
also disposes of the old rolling stock
of the blood, dissolving and disintegrat-
ing the wornout corpuscles. Addition
nj evidence regarding the spleen has
been supplied by Prof. Schafer, +. r. s.,
and Mr.. b. Moore. They have proved
that the spleen acts as n kind of safety
valve to the blood circulation, and it
responds at once to all variations in
the blood pressure, whether these vari-
atoms are from heart or lungs. 1t is

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
BY REV. F. F. BUCKNER.

One triumph alone of the religion
of Jesus, which means infinitely more
for the happiness of man than we can
imagine, is the doctrine of the broth
erhood of man. He taught that
openly and inferentially, and at this
hour it is the leavening power of all
reforms-social and religious. This
has been one of the last of his teach
ings to be accepted. Men have given
up their traditional view with strug.
gle-severe and hostile. Theology
in the very name of Christ has cov-
cred up this light, and divines in the
pulpit have madly proclaimed against
it, and few think that they may yet
throw themselves into the breach
and save their traditions. How hard
it has been for men to give up the
thought of caste. The disposition is
to feel that Ole blood is bluer than
another. Many men are now prone
to feel that they are made of better
clay than some other nations. Color
lines divide the races, and the races
are divided by religion. Sects set
themselves apart and say we are the
peculiar people of God. They call
themselves his children and the un-

THE CHURCH AND ITS WORK.
BY REV. c. H. EATON, DID.
MACoMB, ILL

The church is failure if its object is
to be defender of an exclusive system
of dogma or ecclesiastic organization.
No man will ally himself with any Or
ganization which denies his sense of in.
dividual responsibility and his instincts
of personal liberty. have come to the
conclusion that any such thing as church
unity based upon the indentity of organ
ization is not only impossible, but unde-
sirable. God speed to all organizations,
and l will welcome any that springs up
that may contain something that the
others have not. The church has failed
to bind men together in one organiza-
ton, and am glad of it. The interests
of truth are best subserved by many or
ganizations.
The church has also scored a compare
tive failure Of church attendance by a
basis of measurement. In Vermont,
where there is the greatest proportion
/. of purely American population, census
shows that only about forty.four per
cent are regular in church attendance.
In Maine it is less than half, in my State
about twenty-five per cent. This com
parative failure is not the effect of liber
al thought or creed, but other conditions
not altogether understood.
The Christian church has succeeded
in making charity and brotherly love
the highest ideals of the age. When we
think that only about one fifth are regu
lar worshipers, let us also remember the
hospitals reared by the Roman church,
st. Lukes. the Presbyterian, our Cha.
pin Home. the kindergartens and vari-
GUS benevolent organizations every
where. If the workingman criticises the
church, as he may have right to, let
him remember that the church is res
ponsible to very considerable extent
for the efforts which have been made to
reduce the hours of labor; that the
church is responsible for the enforce
ment of more rational and wiser liquor
laws, and the church has stood as the
chief defense for one day of seven as a
day of rest.
Find me better organization than
the church, and l will join it. even at
the sacrifice of all that l hold most
dear. Find me better bridge than the
church to cross over the troublous wars
of the social world and l will cross with
you. But if you do not, then l will
cross on that bridge which has carried
SO many safely to fields of work beyond.
II any organization, religious or secular,
will afford me better theory of life,
nobler example and more effective mo-
tive than are furnished by the Chris
tian church, / stand ready to accept
such theory, example and motive. The
church has been success because it
has been the only medium for the pres
ervation and teachings of Christianity.
While not organized by Christ, it was
foreseen by him, and while not divine,
it is the vehicle of the Divine. The
watch word of the hour is go For
ward" Simplify your creed or dispense
with creeds altogether. Broaden your
sympathies by personal contact with and
earnest service to all classes and condi-
tionc of man

"THE CATHEDRAL of All Saints" is the
name which Bishop Doane OF Albany
has chosen for the church he has been
for some years now trying to establish at
the capital. The visitor is informed by
means of various placards and leaflets
that the cathedral is maintained
wholly by voluntary contributions. II
the plates carried up to the altar after
the collection last Sunday afternoon are
a sample of the usual offerings there,
the support of the church must be pre-
carious. The site is ample and the edi-
fee very large; and when completed ac-
cording to designs it will, no doubt, be
imposing. At present the establishment
has the appearance of large proportions
for small accomplishments. The Bishop
has set his heart on the realization of
the idea of great free church for the
people. The people are, as usual, rather
Indifferent to his plans for their welfare.
The voluntary contributions" come
mostly from rich friends Of the Bishop
and the church, who have been in
terested in this enterprise by his per-
sonal persuasions.
Horace Greeley, in an inspired
moment, christened one of his contem-
poraries "the satanic press" If he had
witnessed the advent Of the Sunday
paper, and the invasion of pictures and
the prodigious efforts to advertise the
largest circulation, and the manufac-
ture of great sensations out of the most
ordinary daily incidents, must he not
have thought, the frantic press! Mat
thew Arnold was affected with unspeak-
able surprise at the character Of the
American newspaper. But that was be-
fore the present climax OF sensational
ism and emotional insanity had been
reached. We do not hesitate to record
our verdict that the larger and nosier
portion of our daily press is disgrace
to journalism and menace to civiliza-
ton. 1t has been going from bad to
worse with strides" during the last
dozen years. A people that consents to
be represented by such frantic press
cannot hold first place among enlight-
ened nations.
The Independent surrenders large
part of it's space to representative opin-
ions on arbitration. The obstacles are
forcibly presented by Judge Brewer and
Judge DAILY. 1t is we'll to have the diff
ticulties which must be overcome in
order to the institution of tribunal for
the settlement of international disputes,
set forth in their full dimensions. There
is. of course. wide gulf between what
should be and what can be. Yet none
of the counsellors believe the project of
a tribunal established by and between
England and the United States, to be
impracticable. Canon Farrar makes his
strong plea effective by closing with
Gen. Grants testimony, that he had
never known case of war in which
some way might not have been found to
prevent the drawing of the sword. To
which he added; 81 look forward to an
epoch when court, recognized by all
nations, will settle all international diff.

"At the Cleveland Conference

then created man and again he
rested. Then he created woman,
and since that time neither man nor
