their country in substitution of their
present standard, and make Ii manda-
tory for all Mexican silver dollars to
be forwarded to the United States mint
to be converted into United States dol
lars. The Mexican dollar,
now only worth fifty-four cents, after
being melted down by the United
States mint and coined into a United
States dollar, would be worth double
it's present value, have twice the pur-
chasing power and would carry as well
a credit of two cents, that being the
bullion value of the Mexican dollar a
bove the United States dollar.
If this be possible for the Mexican
government, the European nations will
be apt scholars, and follow the exam
pie of Mexico in the conversion of their
silver money, of which they hold ST.
500, 600, 900 in amount. They will want
back in exchange, however, our gold,
of which we have $500, 900 altogether
in this country, which will only pro-
vide for 33 1-3 per cent of their silver
holdings, and to get that amount they
will have to be quick to act so as to
capture it before 1t goes into other
channels. The competition for our
$500, 100000 of gold would beat every
thing on record. The race would be
with the swift.
So far as respects transactions in Sc
curities, we counsel our friends to fol-
low moderation in their operations.
Already, prices have fallen much below
what the facts and probabilities of the
political situation warrant. Specula-
ton based on political factors and po-
litical manipulation is especially UNI
certain: and the present tendency
seems to be toward the market falling
under that sort of control.

Bland,s Honesty Not Disputed.

The Washington correspondent of the

good story to his paper:
''Shortly before he went out of con-
gress Mr.. Bland was guest at dinner
given to several Missouri members by
ex-senator John B. Henderson.
Bland, said General Henderson,
some eastern people were discussing
you in my presence the other evening.
They were wondering whether you were
honest in your profession, whether you
really believed what you talked about
free coinage. They wanted to know
what l thought about it.
What did you tell them?' asked
Mr.. Bland.
"'I told them, said General Hen
derson, that you believed all you said
about free coinage
"'I am much obliged to you, said
Mr.. Bland.
"'I told them,' Gel eral Henderson
went on after a moments pause, that
you We're honest in your silver profess
sions because you didn't know any bet

"'I don't know that I am so much
obliged to you, after all, said Mr..
Bland good humoredly.

A MAN WITH CHLOROFORM.
An Unwelcome Visitor Calls At The
Residence OF Mr.. Young.
About two o'clock this morning, Miss
Electa Young, daughter of n. A.Young
of $40 Marshall street, awoke to find a
man at the head of her bed. She got
up and the man walked away. She
followed him to the hall and called her
father, who was sleeping on cot in
the yard. Mr.. Young got up and got
his pistol and the man ran away.
There was a strong odor of chloroform
in the house and 1t is believed the man
tried to chloroform the young lady.
The man had no trouble getting into
the house, as all the doors and Win
dows were open. Miss Young describes
the intruder as being a white man OF
slender build and wearing a black suit
" SOUND MONEY
We all want sound money and no
class of business men are more sound
on the financial issue than the liquor
dealers. The liquor business is more
heavily UaNeu tlluu any OtheI otCupd-
ton in the land. 1t is cash business
and cash means a sound money, not a
deprecated currency, not Mexican sill
yer dollars. The liquor men have their
business arranged at certain stan
dard, they are paying so much a gal
lon for their goods, they sell 1t for so
much a drink. Out of their sales they
must pay taxes, rents, expenses, as
well as original cost Of goods. To
change our standard from gold to sill
yer would upset every business cal
culation and bankrupt large per-
centage of our liquor men. In fact,
the whole silver business is a side
partner to the prohibition business.
1t is crankism applied to finance. We
don't want any of it. The silver poll
ticians will not bother the saloon men
only when free drinks are dished out.
The old time Democracy has played
out-Populism and anarchy and bad
money have Joined in to float the
Democratic banner. We want no pi-
rates, no idiots, no bomb-throwers at
the head of American affairs. We IA

liberation and good sense, but we are
opposed to experimental politics.-Na-
tional Liquor Dealer.

G. w. Fife, of Tacoma, Wash, has Q
curious pet tied up to his boat house by
a chain cable. The collar is not passed
around the pets neck, as might be sup
posed, but is about its tail. Mr.. Fife
was on the bay off Tacoma in boat
when he saw a shark, and he harpooned
it and lowed it to the pier. The shark
was not seriously injured, so he passed
the collar around it's tail, fastening the
chain to the pier. The creature is now
feeding heartily, according to the
Sportsmen's Review, and seems accus-
toned 20 its stern fastening.

DYSPEPSIA PROOF.
One American Race That Knows Nothing
of the Modern Curse.

of the Modern Curse.
Much Is said about American dys-
pepsia, but there is one native race of
America that is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse. The
sturdy little Eskimos defy all the laws
of hygiene and thrive. The Eskimo,
like the ordinary dweller in America,
eats until he Is satisfied, but there Is
this difference, that he is never salts
fed while a shred of his feast remains
unconsumed. His capacity Is limited
by the supply, and by mat only.
He cannot make any mistake, says
the Youths Companion, about the
manner Of cooking his food-for as q
rule he does not cook it-nor, SO far az
the blubber or fat of the arctic animal
is concerned, about his method of eat
ing 1t, for he simply does not eat 1t; he
cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick, and then lowers tho
strips down his throat as one might
lower a rope into well.
And after all that he does not suffer
from indigestion. He can make good
meal off the flesh and skin of the wal
rus, provision so hard and gritty that
In cutting up the animal the knife must
be continually sharpened.
The teeth of the little Eskimo child will
meet in bit Of walrus skin as the teeth
of an American child would meet in the
flesh of an apple. And that when the
hide of the walrus is from half an inch
10 an inch and a half in thickness, and
bears considerable resemblance to the
skin of an elephant. The Eskimo child
will bite IL and digest 1t, too, and never

M'KINLEY'S MANAGERS
HARRISON AND WANAMAKER WILL
LEND THEIR BEST EFFORTS.
Meeting of the National Republican Exec
utive COMMITTEES at the Waldorf -
This Afternoon.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The proph-
esy that Chairman Hanna would
ignore the New York politicians in
the preliminary organization Of the
campaign work for Major McKin-
ley proved false today, for Freder-
lex S. Gibbs, OF the New York or
ganization, and the national Re-
publican committeeman from this
state, was one of the favored guests
at the meeting Of the eastern man.
ayers today.
Whether Mr.. Hanna looked up
on Mr.. Gibbs as personal repre-
sentative of Platt, or not, the fact
is patent that Gibbs does repre-
sent that faction of the Republican
party in New York, and as Hanna
said, "Platt was not invited to the
meeting simply because he is not
a member of the committee. Gibbs
was invited to attend so he may
be kept in touch with the plans
that may be formulated. Gibbs is
New York's national committee
man and is responsible in large
measure, by virtue of his position,
for the result in this state"
Hanna added, 81 feel confident
the Republican party of New York
state will work tremendously for
McKinley's election"
John Wanamaker, of Philadel-
phia, ex.President Harrison and
Mr.. Hanna met in the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel last night. Hanna de-
clined to say what were the ques-
lions discussed, but said: "Mr.
Harrison will give us all the assist
ance we may require Of him."
The most important question to
be discussed this afternoon at the
meeting will be one as to the lines
upon which the campaign will be
conducted. Frank s.. Witherby
and delegation representing the
American Protective league, will
argue in favor of making the fight
upon the tariff lines, while Melville
E. Ingols and others, that the
financial question shall be kept
uppermost. 1t is entirely proba-
BILE Mr.. Hanna's advice to the
committee will be for working on
both these platforms as closely
bound to each other. Hanna said
today:
The financial and tariff ques-
tions cannot be divorced. Our
financial depression OF prosperity
Is due in the greatest measure to
our tariff conditions Mr.. McKin-
ley shares this view with me-"
In carrying out this view Mr..
Hanna will suggest that the tariff
leagues prosecute the fight vigor-
ously on their own lines and that
those interested in the financial
question do similar work, national
committee giving assistance. 1t
is planned that sn immense
amount of literature be distrib.
uted.
a Meeting OF the executive COM
smittee will take place at 3 o'clock
at the Waldorf.

Silver and Prices.

The silver miners want free coinage
toput up the price of their product. The
farmers want it to cheaper dollars.
It cannot do both. If, as the silver
miners contend, free coinage would 30
advance silver as to make the bullion in
q silver dollar worth 100 cents, then the
silver dollar would be as hard to get
and as costly to the farmer as the gold
dollar is now alleged to be. One or the
other class of free silver advocates would
be disappointed in the results Of free
coinage.
Again, the most numerous class OF
free coinage advocates consists OF men
who think that the so called demonetiza-
ton of silver depressed the price of farm
products, and therefore that free coinage
would enhance such prices. New York
