THE straddlers and dodgers say
they want a money that will pass at
it's face value in the 'enlightened
nations of the earth and at the
same time they agree to the free
coinage of the American product of
silver. Accordingly, they must be-
lieve that if the American product
was coined it would pass in any coun-
try, without discount. Then, if the
American product will be taken by
other nations, what is to prevent
other nations from coming their own
product into just such dollars as we
have and passing them upon us /?
Could we ask Germany to accept 4l2
grains of our silver as a dollar and
refuse the same amount of German
silver as dollar? This talk about
coming the American product of sill
yer is just like whole lot of other
sound money rot. 1t is just calcu-
lated to confuse and mislead the peo-
Pile. Give us the free and unlimited
coinage of all silver that can be
scraped up-the more the better
and we II all be happy.

BARNES GETS MIXED.

Seth Barnes, of New Madrid, who
was defeated for the Republican
nomination for Congress at Poplar
Bluff o few weeks ago, is credited
with being an independent candidate
for the State Senator. In hisspeech
at Benton Mr.. Barnes declared him
self for ''sound money" and said
that the free coinage of silver was
the ''iabecility of the Democratic
party.
In letter just published Mr..
Barnes gets astraddle of another
horse of similar color and says he
"favors the free and unlimited coin
age of American silver" at the ratio
of Is to 1; and making it redemption
money right along with gold. In
other words, he proposes to make
sixteen ounces of American silver
worth one ounce of American or
foreign gold, but he don't propose to
recognize foreign silver at that ratio
at all.
According to Mr.. Barnes and all
other sound money advocates, they
want q stated number of grains Of
silver or gold to be worth one dollar,
whether coined or in bullion. Now
will Mr.. Barnes please explain by
what method he proposes to draw
the line between American and
foreign silver so that 4l2 grains of
American silver will be worth one
dollar in either bullion or coin, while
the same amount of foreign silver
will be worth only about half as
much? ? Will Mr.. Barnes please ex-
plain?
Why must silver be given the butt
end of all legislation? If it is wrong
for our mints to coin foreign silver,
then why is it not equally wrong to
coin foreign gold free? They tell us
that the free coinage of silver is in
the interest of the silvermine owners
but they never say word about the
free coinage of gold being in the in
terest of the gold mine owners. Oh,
no! That is white horse ofanother
color.

. A RESOLUTION was recently intro
duced in the city council of ST. Louis
to memorialize the State Legislature
on the subject of taxing all church
property within the State. The val
uation of the church property
of St. Louis is about seven
million dollars. According to the
present State law there are several
classes of property exempted from
State, county and municipal taxa
tion. Among these are all buildings
and property used for church purpos-
es, schools of all kinds, hospitals,
charitable institutions and cemeter-
les. Let US first see to it that the
government bondholders are taxed
and then we may be able to get
along without taxing the churches.

The cordial welcome and the kind
treatment received was far beyond
their expectations and while it was
currently rumored that during the

that Editor Pigg should not be held

The flower of Cuban youth is in the

carrying all before them by fire and

The Cubans have appealed to the
United States, the mother of all re-
publics, for recognition. Congress
has declared willingness to give the
rebels a fighting chance for their lib
erty, but our president is so wrapped
up in expressing his own people that
he has no time to listen to the ap.
peals of those oppressed by other

y WOMAN was sworn as witness
in an Ell Paso, Texas, court the
other day and gave her occupation
that of "a wife and mother" The
El Paso Herald says the court smiled.
Perhaps if the woman had replied that
she was q public lecturer on the
rights of downtrodden women. an ad-
vocate of bloomer-dress reform, or
even concert-hall singer the court
would not have smiled but gone on
with his business. True. in this
generation of female emancipation
when so many women have their
time completely taken in fashionable
Summing, attending Friday morning
clubs, and discussing the emeliora-
tion of the sex, it does sound strange
to hear woman plead guilty to the
crime of being a wife and mother,
This occupation, in the sense that
the world has known it for ages, is
becoming old-fashioned and out of
date. The new fads which have
grown up leave no room for the
cradle and trundle bed. Girls are
being trained to believe that for sew
eral thousand years man has exer-
cised an autocratic authority over
the weaker sex and they are taught
to write essays and make speeches
on what is termed equal rights.

AT the State convention the Re-

over the financial plank of their plat
form. One side fought for the adop-
tion of ''sound money" plank while
the other side, about equally as
strong, demand free silver plank
After long and hot debate the mat
ter was settled by substituting the
financial plank Of the Minneapolis
convention of 1892, and the silver men
raised mighty cheer over their vic
tory.
Over in Indiana the Republicans
adopted q sort of gold standard

When she arrived from England so. 600
people were at the dock to greet her.
That night 10000 people serenaded her
In front OF her hotel. Seats for her con-
cert sold at fabulous prices. On the
night Of her first American concert over
5000 people had gathered in the Battery
before Castle Garden by six O'Clock,
although the concert did not begin until
eight. When the doors were opened the
crush was terrible, and within afteen
minutes every available inch of room.
other than the reserved seats, was occsp~
pied, and 10000 people were outside un-
able to get in. Then every rowboat, sail
boat and steamer which could be pressed
into service was engaged 10 Law In the
water by the old Garden Hall crowded
with people who could only hear the
strains of Jenny's voice as ii fioated
through the open windows. The whole
scene has now been repictured by Hon.
