to suppose that you can enhance values
by diminishing the value of money; that
you can increase the value of anything
by changing it's measure. Garfield ut
tered a great truth when speaking for
the resumption of specie payments. He
said: In the name of every man who
wants his own when he has earned it,
say that we do not want the wages Of
the poor man to shrivel in his hands
after ne has earned them (Applause.)
what Garfield so eloquently spoke for
was executed by the redemption law Of

coin OF fulfillment, and every dollar we

KATE FIELDS REMAINS.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Before Kate
Field left for Hawaii she advised III. III.

that she had provided in her will for the
disposition of her remains in the event
OF death. Diligent search failed to dis
cover this will until Friday last Mean
While the body has been lying in a

1t appears from this will that Miss
Field directed that her body be ere
mated and that her ashes, together with
a plain gold ring worn by her, be placed
in an urn and deposited above the
collins of her father and mother in
Mount Auburn Cemetery at Cambridge,
Mass. Mr.. kohlsaat has undertaken
the immediate execution of these in
structions. and to-day wrote to Consul
General Mills at Honolulu making pro-
vision for the expense and directing that
the cremation shall take place there if
practicable, but that if not the remains
shall be forwarded by next steamer via
San Francisco and overland to Boston,
where the desired disposition of them

INDORSES BRYAN.
John G. Sheehan, Tammany's Leader,
Out for the Democratic Nominee.

CHICAGO, Sept "a New York spe-
cial to the Record says:
John c. Sheehan, leader of Tammany
Hall, came out positively for the in
dorsement of Bryan and Sewall and the
Chicago platform.
What determined him finally, be said,
was the action Of the Indianapolis con-
vention in declaring for the single gold
standard.
Even the Republican convention"
said he, did not go to that extreme.
This country has been prosperous un-
der the double standard since the war
or independence, but monopolists and
advocates of the gold cure have been
gradually stealing from US legislation
which enriches them and makes the
working classes poorer. We must get
back the beneficent legislation of which
they robbed us, and we can only get it
by electing Bryan and Sewall and en-
forcing the principles enunciated at Chi
cago."

REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
HANNA HAS NO MISGIVINGs
ABOUT THE EAST.
Being Made for Tour
of Distinguished Union Soldiers
to Speak From Train.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Chairman Hanna
and some other distinguished Repub.
licans were at the national headquar-
ters Of the party to-day. After his busy
day was over Mr.. Hanna said to a re-
porter of the United-ASSociated
Presses: Il am very proud of my Chr
cago organization. They showed me
reports of their efficient work and or
ganization in every State. / do not be-
lieve the crowds which went to hear Mr..
Bryan in New York State indicate any
increase in his following. 1t only shows
a more general interest in the issues of

lican factions goes through, and the

publicans were in to see me to-day on
this subject. I am well pleased with
the Western situation so far as I have
received reports. Ohio needs stirring

General E. H. Terrell was member
of the Texas party, also Ed r. Green,
son of the famous Hetty Green. Mr..
Green will be Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee, if the proposed
harmony plan goes through at the State
convention next week. The gentlemen
came to get the good offices of the Ma
tiOnal Committee enlisted in behalf of
harmony.
General RUSSELL A. Alger and General
Dan Sickles, the latter Mckinley
Democrat, stopped at Chicago on their
return from the G. A. r. encampment.
They held a conference with Chairman
Hanna, and it was determined that the
best way to satisfy the demands which
have been pouring into the Speakers
Bureau for G. A. r. leaders to address
the soldiers and others was to arrange
for tour of distinguished Union SOL
diers on a special train. General Alger
placed his car at the disposal of the
party of speakers, who will be Generals
Alger and Sickles. General Franz Sigel
of New York, also a Mckinley Demo-
crat; General Thomas Stewart of Penn
sylvania, General Mullholland of New
York and Corporal James A. Tanner of
Washington.
1t was arranged to begin the tour Sep
temer 21st with meeting in Chicago,
and then, including Sundays, as follows:
Two meetings in Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa and Nebraska, three in Kansas
two in Missouri, four in Illinois, three in
Indiana, one in Kentucky, three in Ohio
and three in Michigan, in the above or
der. The selection of the cities will be
left to the State Committees, except
that the party will be in Topeka October
1st, which is soldiers day at the State
Fair. Speeches will also be made from
the rear platform of the car at stations
en- route.
Speaking enthusiastically of the plan
General Sickles said: II want to shake
hands with the soldiers. and tell them to
stand in line as they did in '61 There
are more than million of them in the
country, and they can do lot of good
for Mckinley beside voting for him, as

Is There Irrigation in Mars,

It would seem that th planet Mars
is now in condition to which the
earth must come. 1t is struggling
against the gradual disappearance OF
water on it's surface and its atmos-
phcre. There is no weather there, for
there is NO rain and there are no winds.
Dew in winter is deposited on its poles
in the form OF snow. The rest OF the
planet consists of deserts with very
slight elevations. The inhabitants have
met this state of things by gigantic
system of irrigation. What We call
canals are irrigated districts about
thirty miles wide, with canal run
ming through them, from which wate,
is distributed. Here and there are
large oases of irrigation, and these
oases are connected with each cthec
by means of the canals. When the
SHOWS of the poles melt, the melted
water is distributed over the planet,
and thus crops are produced. The in.
habitants store up food and water for
that part of the year when there is
neither water nor vegetation. So
ra1eGcd is the atmosphere that one OF
these inhabitants can work at one-
twentieth the exertion that it costs us,
or, in other words, perform with the
same expenditure of strength twenty
times the tesk.-London Truth.

ART or sWEErING.

Sweeping is Ga art, but there are
lots of housekeepers who do not know
it. Of what use is it to sweep If you
leave the curtains dragging on the
floor, the upholstered furniture to
catch all the dust flying, and if you
dirt half the lint into the air, to set
tie on the oiled furniture and on the
walls? The proper.and very easiest way
10 sweep is to push all the movable fur
niture into the next room and cover
ND with cloths kept for the purpose
the tables, couches and such articles
as cannot easily be moved. If you have
upholstered furniture that cannot be
moved, whip it lightly, then wipe with
clean piece OF old silk and cover up.
Dust down the pictures and tables be-
fore sweeping to remove the old dust
that may be there. Sweep slowly aud
evenly, with long, smooth strokes.
after rolling and pinning up the cur.
teius and throwing the windows open.
Let the dust settle for half an hour.
Then, with clean soft cloth, go over
all the furniture in and out of the
room, shaking the dust cloth often In
The open air to rid it OF gritty dust.
A room swept in this manner will re.
main clean for days, where hours will
suffice to litter up the room swept IN
the common way.-WashingtoE Star.

Canal Boats of Steel.

Steel is making inroads into wood

sorts. Steel canal boats are the latest

feet deep, eighteen feet beam and a
hundred feet long, with carrying
capacity of hundred thousands BUSH
els of wheat. 1t has long been known
that the wooden tubs used as canal
boats are useful only in still water,
their build not giving strength enough
to withstand the rough treatment they
get in lake transit. 1t Is claimed that
