LITERARY NOTES.

Ignace Paderewski has written a new
minuet for the piano, which he has
dedicated to his American admirers
and given the significant name of
"Menuet Moderne. He regards the
composition as his best, and believes
that it will meet with greater popular
favor than his "Menuet L'Antique,"
written in 1888, of which over seven
million copies were sold in a single
year. 1t is the first minuet written by
Paderewski since "L'Antique,'' and
was composed by the famous pianist
expressly for The Ladies' Home Jour
nal, and will appear in the October is
sue.
Albert Lynch, the famous French ar
tist, is said to have given us new and
distinctive type of American Girl" in
picture completed after his return
from recent extended visit to this
country. His characterization of young
American womanhood is exceedingly
interesting and sttractive-the concep.
tion of critical student, and the crea-
tion of Il skilled painter. Mr.. Lynch
was commissioned by the Ladies Home
Journal to portray the American
Girl" as he saw her, and his picture
will be reproduced in the October num-
Der of that magazine.

In q Nutshell.

Let us all be thankful that the fnan-
cial question has at last been finally
settled.
1t is so easy that any body might have
done it.
All that is needed is that the Govern
ment of the United States shall agree
to pay 81 30 to any one who will bring
1t go cents worth of silver.
If this is done, our financial troubles
will Immediately disappear. Prices
will advance. Wages will 60 up. Ev
erybody will have plenty of money.
We shall have at once the only perfect
financial monetary system known in
history.

The free coinage press has for several
months past been publishing an article
said to have been taken from the Lon.
don Financial News of March 10, in
which the prediction was made that if
the United States adopted free silver
Great Britain would lose all her trade
with South America, India, China and
Japan. The pretended quotation also
declared that the trade which Great
Britain would lose would all 60 to the
United States.
In its issue of Aug, .13 The Financial
News pronounces the alleged extract to
be forgery and declares positively
that nothing of the kind was ever
printed in its columns. An examina.
ton of file of the paper shows that
its statement is true.
Will the silverite newspapers which
have been publishing this fake argu-
ment for free coinage please explain to
their readers that they were misled by
some unscrupulous forger

Make tbe Most Of Yourself

1t is the duty of every man to make
the most of himself. Whatever his ca
pacities may be, he is sure to find some
place where he can be useful to him
self and to others. But he can not
reach his highest usefulness without
good health and he can not have good
health without pure blood. The blood
circulates to every organ and tissue
and when it is pure, rich and healthy
it carries health to the entire system,
but If it is impure 1t scatters disease
wherever it flows. Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. 1t cures
salt rheum, scrofula, catarrh, dyspep-
sia aud rheumatism because these dis
eases have their origin in the blood.

SURE OF INDIANA.


Major McKinley's Managers Feel Perfectly
Safe.
WASHINGTON, September 22.-Walter
Wellman, the we'll known newspaper
correspondent, in special telegram to
the Times Herald, of Chicago, says:
Interesting political news, we'll suthen-
ticated, reaches US from Indiana. The
Republican State Committee has made
poll of the State-what is called the
sixty day poll, in that it is taken two
months before the election. 1t shows
that Mckinley will carry Indiana by
10000 majority. The Republican man.
ayers we're at first inclined to doubt the
accuracy of their own poll, because il
is too favorable. They were afraid the
enthusiasm of many precinct commit
teemen had run away with their judg-
ment. During the last ten days num-
Der of committeeman have been re-
quested to go over their lists and revise
them to see If conservative treatment
would not cut down their estimates of
Republican pluralities. In no instance,
80 far reported, have the committeeman
cut down their figures. The tendency
is to increase them, and from all parts
of the State comes word that the thirty
day poll, to be taken two weeks hence,
will show still greater majorities for
sound money. This much can truth
fully be said for the political managers
of Indiana: In sixteen years of obser-
vation of their methods / have never
known them to be mistaken as to the
status of affairs in their State. This is
as true of one side as of the other, and
today both the Democrats and Repub-
licans know Indiana is going to vote
for Mckinley.

Ex-Presdent Harrison on the Powers o
Government.

Ex-president Harrison on the Powers of
Government.
l will tell you what this Government
can do alone. 1t can fix its money unit.
1t can declare by law what shall be
the relative value of an ounce of gold
and an ounce of silver, but it can not
make that last declaration good. Is is
unquestionably fully within the power
of this Government to bring this coun.
try to a silver basis by coming silver
dollars and making them legal tender.
They can do that. This Government
can say you shall take one of those dol
lars in discharge of any debt owing to
you for 81, notwithstanding you may
have loaned gold dollars; but it can
not say, and enforce its decree, if you
should call out the regular army and
navy and muster all our great modern
ships and add the militia, and put
William j. Bryan in command Of them
it can not enforce the decree that /
ounce of gold is the equivalent of 16
ounces of silver. Not only that, not
France and England and Germany can
do that unless the markets respond.
Why? You may make me take silver
dollar for a debt, but If have bought
my goods at gold prices you can not
make me give as many yards of cloth
for silver dollar as l have been in the
habit of giving for gold one.
If have gold dollar in this hand
and silver one in that, and you de.
clare they are equal, and can take
that gold dollar to bullion broker
and get $2 for it, know it is lie. II
have nothing but gold dollar, and
sugar is 20 pounds for 81, will not
give that gold dollar for 20 pounds OF
sugar. | will take it around to broker
get two silver dollars for 1t and get the
20 pounds of sugar and have one silver
dollar left. So it is, my friends. We
can of ourselves, of our own wisdom,
declare the unit of vale. We can coin
silver freely, but we can not make 16
ounces of silver equal to ounce of
gold unless it is. And it is not unless
tho merchants take it at that rate.
That is where all this thing comes in.
1t is trade, it is the merchant, it is the
man who exchanges and deals in these
things that fixes the :&lative value, and
il you do not take the value he fixes
the gold dollar will 20 back to the
gold vault, and the gold will go out OF
circulation.-Ex-Presdent Harrison in
New York Speech.

that the candidate representing those
policies himself believes in the regu-
larity theory. Mr.. Bryan throws in
the face of the gold Democrats who are
trying to bring themselves to vote for
him the boast that he would have bolt

opinions had been put up. Are they
bound to be any more regular than he
is?-New York Sun.

What lG to 1 Has Never Done.

1t has never kept gold and silver at a
parity.
1t has never once given us, under free
coinage, practical bimetallism-that is
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver.
The ratio of 10 .to".1 was adopted in
1884. 1t represented the then CONNER
cial ratio, the market values of the two
metals.
In the 40 years. following the adop-
ton of this ratio and up to 1874 there
were coined less than 100000 silver
dollars, or not 80 many by 100000 as
were coined from January 1 to July l
in this year.
And never during the whole period
did gold and silver circulate freely to-
gether as equal money. What reason
has Mr.. Bryan for his firm conviction"
that they will do 30 now under free
coinage, when the difference in the
commercial ratio is far greater than at
any time during the period from 1884
to 1878

out of its distresses. Don't dodge your
State platform. Stick to 1t as closely
as you please. 1t endorses some strong,
unendorsable things, and omits some
very necessary things. But you are
running on that platform. Give it the
benefit of your eloquence. Only don t
run for the Senate this year. You are

that is greatly in need. Your campaign
button says you are a candidate for

He Is No Democrat.

chased about 2,7O0 sharesoptIoned by Gen.

financierS 10 mean that the committee may
be unable To turn over its holdings.
As the contract made at the annual meet
ing of the railroad company, held AT Ports
mouth, required the committee To deliver
the stock, failure To make delivery would
lead to interesting developments. In such
an event il is predicted that Mr.. Ryan
and his associates would resort 10 the courts.
Such move would result in legal
