An Enchanted Red.

A queer story about an "enchanted
bed' comes from Creusot, the ipbabi-
tants of which are in a condition of
great excitement over the affair while
the priests, who are completely mystf
ned, have dispatched a mission" for
the purpose of holding an investigation
and pronouncing an opinion in the mat
ter AS usual, 1T is a girl who is the
cause OF all the wonder. In the nres
ent instance, she has only seen fourteen
summers, and dwells in a hoyel with
her parents. AS might be expected. she
is described as being of an extremely
nervous temperament. At night this
maid is subject to fits of hysteria. by
which, as the tale goes, her couch is
affected. By some curious sympathy If
is said to bound along the floor over
coming the resistance of anyone who
may endeavor to check it in its wild
career AS an instance of the power of
this phenomenal agency, it is asserted
that while the bed was on the move
with it's occupant, the latter was tight
ly held by neighbor, to prevent her
giving it any impetus, but that all tbe
same the couch pursued the even tenor
of its way without let or hindrance. On
another occasion an athlete volunteered
to keep the bed within due bounds but
although he struggled manfully, it hur-
ried on like a runaway horse" drag
ging him with it. On the other hand
it is averred that when the damseI's
father or mother seeks repose ON the
couch it comports itself like other beds.

Contractor Evelyne, who is constructing
a sewer here, and his Italian employees

Hitled to retain under the law.

FRIDAY, AUG. IA, 1896.

A California clergyman, Rev.
Barton Terry, recently returned
home from tour through Great
Britain on a bicycle. His CYCLIC
meter showed that he had ridden
996 miles. He covered the entire
distance between the South of
England and the North of Scot
land. Mr.. Terry's object was to
study the social, industrial and
economic conditions of the peo-
pie. He says he found very few
unemployed men and was sur
prised at the general conduct of
the common people. The wheel
is a great boon TO tourists,
especially those of limited
means. 1t gives opportunities
for closer observation of a coun-
try and its inhabitants than are
afforded from the windows of a
palace car.

Timely Topics
" YOUR HOUSE. IS ON
FIRE"

This may be the warning
cry to you some night.
Whether it refers to your store,
factory, mill, office, or resi-
dence, it means that all of your
valuable account books, secu-
rites, deeds, insurance policies,
notes, receipts, mortgages, ETC.,
will be destroyed if not pro-
tected by a fire-proof safe.
Can you afford to run this
hazardous risk? The loss of
an insurance policy alone in
nine cases out of ten would
cause you endless trouble and
expense in going to law to Sc
cure a settlement, and then
your chances of coming to a
satisfactory adjustment with
the insurance company would
indeed be very slim. 1t is
duty that you owe to your
business, to your family and
to yourself to protect these
things against both fire and
thieves. That old tin box or
drawer in which you have
been in the habit of keeping
your papers, would be of no
service whatever in case Of
fire.
A VICTOR safe will last
you a lifetime, and it is the
best investment that any bust
ness man can make. You
make no mistake in buying a
Victor. Out Of forty thousand
safes manufactured and shipped
by this company, upwards Of
four hundred have already
gone through very severe fires

them for sale! A plant for a.

three dollars in a year if pros
perly attended to. That's the
reason we included Fern pans
of English pottery among our

years ago, preserved intact al of its con-
tents in the late fire in Greenvlle, on the

have been one OF the hottest parts in the
great conhagration. 1t contained papers
and other things of value. When It was
taken out of the ruins and opened some
twelve hours after the fire, everything in it
was found to be safely preserved and in
good condition. l cheerfully make this
statement of facts in recognition of the
valuable service rendered me by your safe,
and you are at liberty to make such use Of
1t as you may see proper.

correspondent suggests at the begin
he could not be classed even with the
most elementary economists" All of his
positions are examined in detail with
thoroughness and clearness of rea-
soning that leaves very little of them
for another to deal with.
To the practical man, 1t seems to us
that the final argument advanced in
this letter ought to be- if not the most
conclusive, at least the one most en-
phatically requiring some answer or
explanation. 1t states that of the eight
commodities cited by Prof Andrews
and mentioned by Mr.. Towne, whose
prices have fallen to the alleged detri-
ment of the producer and the public at
large, six are dearer in Great Brit
ain than in any silver standard country
In the world, or in any country having
protective tariff, the United States
included Iron alone is cheaper in Great
Britain, and we have seen within the
past year that the United States has
now reached the point where it can
compete with England on practically
equal terms in the iron business, and
Will probably soon wrest from her con-
troll of the iron trade Since Great
Britain has the gold standard, and
since 1T is the gold standard which
men of Mr.. Towne's way of thinking
claim to have reduced prices, this fact
calls for some comment.
1t is one of the two aspects of this
financial question which the silver men
absolutely refuse to consider. They are
| continually contrasting silver stand
ard and gold standard countries to the
| disadvantage Of the latter. We have
already called attention repeatedly to
the fact that in all the silver stand
| ard countries the wages Of labor are at
the starvation point, being lower than
anywhere else in the entire world. Our
correspondent now notes that the prices
OF the principal commodities produced
by the farmer are higher in the gold
standard countries than anywhere else
In the world. These are not theories,
but facts. 1t is well to keep on pre-
senting them until some free silver ad-
| Vocates shall explain to us how it is
that, under his system, low prices,
which he regards as an unmitigated
evil, are at their farthest ebb. The letter
to which we refer, and which will be
| found in another cO1umn ic n va1ua hIo
contribution to the current literature
of the financial question which is so
rapidly educating the masses of our
people on subject to which, until
recent years, they have given altogeth-
er too little attention.

Chicago Is one port. When this came
in it gave Chicago what its papers ad-
NIT was a very black eye. Maj. Mar
shall thought that any further ex-
penditure of money in dredging the
river would be waste There were
many obstacles in the way The river
is narrow and crossed with twenty odd
bridges. The channel could not be
widened except at enormous cost. 1t
is tortuous, also, making navigation
difficult and dangerous
Then, too, the tendency is towards
deep-draft vessels, large ones; 400 feet
In length and fifty to sixty feet beam.
Inc demand everywhere Is for a twen-
ty-foot channel, and the government is
admitting the demand and making pro-
vision for such depths. The Chicago
sewer cannot be dredged to a greater
city has a couple Of tunnels under it
whose top is sixteen feet below the
surface of the river. 1t would cost
millions and millions of good dollars,
the engineer says, to make the river
what Chicago wants it to be- But
and here is what hurts-he also says
that better harbor, fully UP to the
needs of modern commerce, could be
constructed at Calumet, or South Chi
caSo, down by the Illinois Steel COM
pany's works, for mere bagatelle, as
compared with what the river improve
ment would cost. And over the death
blow given by the report to the river
scheme, and the approval given to the
lower harbor, Chicago walls. The river
must be improved because vast in
terests" depend on it, and the city is
too poor to do it. 1t will not be done
unless the general government does 1t.
Other smaller cities have dredged their
harbors, but poor Chicago can't 1t
can spend $15,OOO,OOO or $4,000, 600 in a
canal to drain the lake and flush it's
chief sewer, but it cannot spend any,
thing in making it's river accessible to
deep-draft vessels. That may be a good
reason-in Chicago-why Uncle Sam
should do it. but it will be regarded
outside as very good reason why
he should not

Silver monometallism has no more
ghost of a show of representation in
congress or in Journalism in those
cities than 1T has in St. Paul and Min
neapolis. If, under those circumstances
Rocky mountain merchants should con-
clude to patronize the "gold bugs" Of
Illinois and Missouri instead of the
gold bugs" of Minnesota, at a large
cash cost to themselves, there is no
reason why any one should interfere
with their amusement until it becomes
too expensive for them to indulge in.
That, as rational business men, they
will do anything OF the kind, we do
not for moment imagine. 1t will be
greatly to the advantage of newspa-
pers like the Miner, and of the people
OF silver-produeing, states in general,
TO try to get at view of public ques-
tions which is not bounded on all sides
by what they consider to be of local
and temporary profit
