THE TRUE SOLUTION.
From the Carbondale Herald.

From the Carbondale Herald.
This seems to be short but true So
luton of a perplexing question. 1t is
offered By the Scranton Tribune: "a
doubling of the number of mine inspec-
tors. an Increase in the salary and a ten
year term with inel!gfbility to a second
term would probably do as much toward
the solution of mine accidents as coIld be
done by legislation. For, when all is said
the sovereign remedy is common sense"

SHORT HISTORY OF SILVER

From the Burlington Hawkeye.
In Il period Of twenty years. from 1853 to
1873, the United States coined over 100, ,OO0.-
900 of gold and only about 5.OC0,OOO Of silver
dollars. And that was in the period when
We had free coinage of silver In the next
period of twenty years the government
coined over 54OO0O000 silver dollars. And
this was done after the demonstration"

mand for sllver's use by the principal
mints. These figures unmistakably
sustain the contention that the element
of largely increased supply has had
much to do with the decline in the price
of silver
They also establish the Republican
party's contention that until there is an
International agreement for silver's
coinage into standard money the only
way in which silver can be coined with
safety by any one nation is in the form
OF token issue redeemable when neces-
sary in gold. The silver at present in
circulation in this country belongs to
this class Of coinage. 1t can be in
creased in quantity just as soon as re"
stored Protection shall enable our gov
ernment to pay expenses and secure q
favorable balance Of international
trade.

OBITUARY.

DIED, at the residence Of her son Ia
Charles county, Mrs. LUCINDA COUGH
in the 18th yeae of her age.
She was true Christian, good neigh
Dor, a kind and loving mother and de-
voted wife and grandmother. She leaves
six children and many grandchildren and
q host Of friends TO mourn her loss Hel
remains were buried in Trinity church
yard. May she rest In peace
It's hard to give grandma up,
But God Who knoweth best,
Has taken her from this world Of pain
And carried her home to rest
Gone to fairer cline than this,
Beyond the reach of pain and sorrow.
Her spirit liveth now in bliss
And waits deathless morrow.
She left memory so fair and so sweet,
Its fragrance can never die;
Her life was ripe and all complete
When she was called on high.
Now this golden thread is broken,
Her work on earth is done;
Her trials all are ended,
Her heavenly crown is won.
That sad and lonely household
Will miss her loving hands;
Her children loving, chnging
Without her aid must stand.
Jesus. while on hearts are bleeding,
Der the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Calmly say, Thy viii be done.
Though afflicted not cast down,
Thou didst give and Thou hast taken.
Blessed Lord, thy will be done

The soul is safe In heaven.

DESTRUCTION.

Before the Lenten season came,
When the world In gaiety ragged,
Plans for an Easter Hop were made
Even the band was engaged.
This hop was TO be at Charlotte Hall,
On Easter Monday fair;
Oh many the plans and many the hopes
OF those who were 20 be there.
The invitations were soon TO be out,
The order for supper was taken;
But alas. Twas doomed 20 disappoint.
ment-
The hopes of many were shaken.
For on an evening, rainy but fair,
While the evening report was read,
To Lieutenant LIE messenger came,
And In all excitement said -
Sire fire! the school il on fire
Be quick your lives 10 save"
And all who saw those ieaping flames
New vigor 10 each 1t gave.
Then on the roof went Captain H-n,
For little fear has he;
And those who know him meekly say:
"Now let as that brave be-"
And Sergeant LIN rescued the clock,
That's hung for hundred % years,
Through the falling walls he rushed,
Bearing his treasure in tears %
Then followed Private FIR In haste.
Escorting Henry Clay
His valor well remembered be
At Charlotte Hall that day.
OF Lieutenant H-n's all brave acts,
We never have lost sight
The great arm chairs he took with care
From those wild flames 50 bright.
Private Rs shouldered arms,
And walked the campus green.
BY his hard toll he earned three cheers
On that exciting scene.
And Sergeant K-l was brave, indeed,
He won his laurel leaf
! By grasping books from the cruel flames
And reekiDg walls beneath.
Adjutant It's spurred on with vim
All fellow creatures near,
For all who heard his words of praise
Were proud TO have him there.
In vain was the leaping enemy fought,
For wider and wider II spread;
Oh for the hopes that those flames burned
Those hopes that are now so dead.
And the Bell that tolled the anthem
For graduates 80 long,
Won't peal for the Class of ninety six
Its ever welcome song.
1t fell within those smoulderihg Goals,
Its cherished chimes have ceased,
For in a molten mass IL lay
And great is the grief il increased.
Alas for the dance that was to be,
On Easter Monday night,
The dance that MANY looked forward To
And beheld in visions bright.
Why did you ~ burn the school, Cadets
Thus blasting our hopes so great t.
Now, how could You so cruel be
And doom Us 10 this sad fateP
Oh, Charlotte Hall oh, school of fate
Dead though indeed thou art
Wen ever preserve q memory of thee
A place for thee in our heart.

The governing powers OF the Chica-
90 board Of trade are confronted with
a problem which IL Of interest TO COM
mercial organization throughout the
country aud Of more than ordinary in
terest to women in general, and es-
pec.ally to the advocates Of equal
rights. Under an amendment to the
constitution OF the board which has
just gone into effect, all members Of
all firms doing business on the floor
are required and compelled to pur-
chase and 10 hold memberships. 10
the round, up that has followed the an
nouucement of this law and its enforce
ment at an early date, 1t has developed
that there are a score or more Of wo.
men who are partners In board Of trade
houses; some being 'silent'and others
decidedly active. In one particular
case the AGO. OF q firm of national
reputation is none other than the
daughter OF the partner who appears
in public-a bewitching damsel Of
some twenty summers, who occupies
the position OF a confidential secretary
to her father. There are two or three
wealthy widows who are also the"Cos'
in weli-known houses, and all these
come under the rule. II the women
buy memberships they cannot, OF
course, be kept off the floor or out OF
the wheat, corn or other pits. 1t Is
said that such a contingency was not
contemplated when the rule was passed,
and the board Of directors Is confront
ed with a problem which will require
the exercise of some diplomacy. The
question promises to be one OF more
general interest than that of admitting
women to the conventions of the Meth
odist church.

From the San Marcial Bee.

From the San Marcial Bee.
So far the Bee finds that the follow
ing are the principle candidates for the
office of United States marshal in the
Territory: G. Nj. Foraker, OF Grant
county, who is counting or the strong
support of his brother, Senator j. B.
Foraker, Ohio; H. H. Wray, of Ber-
nalillo county, who is counting OF the
strong support of some state senator
in Pennsylvania, who has, or is sup
posed to have the ear of Senator Quay /;
Serapio Romero, ofMora county, who
is having petitions signed in the
northern part of the Territory and
counts upon the fact that his father,
Trinidad Romero, held the officer under
President Harrison and made a nice
thing GU. of it for his family; M. A.
Otero, OF San Miguel county, who has
a good deal of local backing, is en-
dor,ed by the officers of about all the
banks of the Territory, and has some
strings in Ohio that are to be pulled
for him and last, but not least, Solo,
mon Luna, of Valencia county, who
has the backing OF the leaders Of the
republican party in New Mexico and
asks a recognition because he repre-
sents the only county in the. Territory
that has for forty years returned q re-
publican ma 'rity every election, and
in 1894 and 1896 dill s%plendidly for
the republican party. This is the silua-
ton and the Bee violates no confidence
in giving it as it stands.
