A PLAIN DECLARATION.
The Republican, of New York for a
Gold Standard.

The Republican, of New York for a
Gold Standard.
The New York republican convention
came out boldly for what the various
other republican conventions favor but
are afraid to declare:
1--WE recognize in the movement for
the free coinage of silver an attempt
to degrade the long established stand
ard of our monetary system, and hence
a blow to public and private credit, at
once costly to the national government
and harmful to our domestic and
foreign commerce. Until there is pros
pect of international agreement as to
silver coinage, and while gold remains
the standard of the United States and
of the civilized world, the republican
party of New York declares itself in
favor OF the firm and honorable main
tenance of that standard"
Commenting on this, the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat says: This utterance
is courageous, honest and soundly re-
publican
No hypocritical cant about bimetal-
lism; no silly juggling with such sense
less words as parity"
1t represents the true sentiment of
the republican party. grown bold and
defiant
Whatever the republican national
platform may contain on this subject,
rest assured that it means exactly what
New York republicans favor-a gold
standard.

When locomotives were first built
and began to trundle their small loads
up and down the newly and rudely coz
structei railways of England the pub
lie roals were for the greatest part
crossea at grade and the engine driver
had no way of giving warning OF his
approach except by blowing a tin
horn. But this. as may be imagined.
says writer in Cassier's Magazine. was
tar from being sufficient warning.
One day, i'll the year 1888. so runs a
story OF the origin Of the locomotive
whistle, farmer of Thornton was
crossing the railway track on one Of
the country reads with great load
Of eggs and butter. Just es he came
out upon TIE track train approached.
The engine man blew his tin horp lus-

Eighty dozen OF cIgs and fifty pounds
Of butter were smashed into an indis-

g:ed with the kindling woo6 to which
the wagon wes reduced.
The railway company had to pay the
farmer the value of his fifty pounds Of
butter, his $50 eggs, his horse and his
wagon. 1t was regarded as a very seri-
Gus matter. and q director Of the COM
pany went to Alton Grange, where Geo.
Stephenson lived, to see IL he could not
invent something that would give q
warning more likely to be heard.
Stephenson went to work and the next
day had contriyance which, when at
tached to an engine boiler and the
steam turned on, gave out shrill, dis
cordant sound. The railway directors,
greatly delighted, ordered similar con-
trivances to be attached to all the loco
motives, and from that day to this the
voice of the locomotive whistle has new

Cause and Remedy.

Active competition among men makes
cheap labor-that is to say, surplus
of laborers makes men and women
cheap. In countries where the resources
are exhausted, or the limit of produc-
tion has been reached, the only remedy
for this is to shorten the hours of labor
until all can have work. But In
country like this, where more than half
of our resources are lying dormant, and
where there is practically no limit to
production, there is no necessity of any
man or woman being idle There is
work for all, and at good wages. But
so long as the volume of money is not
kept apace with population and busi-
ness and is appreciating in value, it
will not be invested in active produc-
tive enterprise, and for a lack of
medium OF exchange millions of men
and women are idle, become fierce COM
petitors for the few places left, lower
wages, engender strikes and render all
enterprise uncertain, thus intensifying
the miserable conditions. Money and
transportation at cost, with proper laws
restricting speculation in land, and pro-
hibiting alien and corporation owner
ship of same, would make the United
States the mistress of the world. When
such condition is reached, the laborer
will have as much to say about his
wages and hours Of labor as his en-
ployer.

KANSAS CRY, April l7-Marshal
Keshlear searched the cell of Bill Tay-
lor, the murderer, today, and found a
Stubs hack saw eight inches in
length. The saw was hidden in an
old fashioned glazed canvas valise
which Bill brought with him when he
was removed from Carrollton to pre-
vent lypching. The saw was tucked
in between the metal frame and the
canvas cover of the valise. When the
marshal pulled it out Bill said in his
oily way:
Would you believe me if told you
where that saw came from?"
Il don't know" answered the mar
shall.
why, that saw was in here when 1
came to this cell. 1t was sticking up
in the wall,n said Bill.
The saw is eight inches long and a
half inch wide. 1t is of the finest steel
with small teeth. Saws of that kind
are made for gunsmiths and are used
in saving off gun barrels. Marshal
Keshlear tried the saw on the castiron
steam register in his private Office. 1t
cut through the iron like a knife
through cheese. A man working hard,
without interruption, could cut
through cell bar in an hour with
such a saw.
Bill Taylor will be watched very
closely now. Two deputy marshals
will be in his cell corridor all night.

from the Standard-Union, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
Few women have had a more mis-
cradle existence and lived to tell the
tale than Mrs. Anna L. Smith of 81
Pulaski Avenue, Brooklyn. With all
the comforts that money affords, with
all the happiness that many loving
friends can give, the joy of Mrs.
Smiths life was blasted for years by
the terrible ravages of sickness. The
story is most interesting as told to a
reporter:
Il was an invalid for years, suffering
first with one complaint and then with
another. The thing which caused me
the most discomfort and made me Of
fensive to my family was the worst
case of indigestion imaginable. 1 had
the best physician We could find, and
occasionally his prescriptions relieved
me temporarily. But the pains and
misery would all soon return again.
l became desperate. and started in to
try remedies of which 1 read. Among
them were the Pink Pills. 1 took the
pills and followed out the direc-
tions to the letter. and before
many days began to feel like a differ
ent woman. For six weeks l took the
pills regularly, and I can truthfully
add aft9r that / was as well any one
in the family. This change for the bet
ter in my condition has caused my
relatives and friends to take the pills.
We buy them from the drug store of
John Duryea, at the corner of DeKalb
and Sumner Avenues.
II assure you it was impossible for
me to oversee my household for three
years. Now 1 visit my kitchen every
day, do my own marketing and shop
ping; in word, look after everything
connected with my home and family.
"Oh, yes, l still keep taking the pills
I take one daily after dinner. Preven-
ton, you know, is better and cheaper
than cure. I verify believe one half
of the women who are suffering from
the ills which our sex are heir to would
be up and we'll If they could be in

and and feel grateful to the physician

Mrs. Smith is woman of some

thoughtful people.
