THE overwhelming defeat in the
house of the senate's free silver amend
ment to the coinage bill leaves the sill
verites absolutely nothing to hope for
form the present Congress. An analy-
sis of the vote shows that 1874 Republi-
cans and 81 Democrats voted against
concurrence, and So Democrats, 25 Re-
publicans and Populists for concur
renee. The debate indicated the ex-
istence of strong feeling in favor of in
ternational bimettallism among those
who are opposed to unrestricted silver
coinage for the sufficient and simple
reason that it would be out of the ques-
ton for this country alone to maintain a
coinage parity between the two metals
without regard to their relative COM
mercial value.

THE DECLINE OF SILVER.

One of the favorite allegations OF the
free silver partisans used especially to
influence the farmers in every congress
sional campaign Is that the decrease
i'm the value of agricultural products
during the past ten years has been the
logical result of the demonstration OF
silver III this connection it is of in
terest to note the report of the careful
investigation of this very question
made by the finance committee of the
U. S. senate nearly three years ago,
and which Mr.. J. X. Upton, formerly
assistant secretary of the treasury and
a careful student of financial subjet t.,
briefly summarized in an interview as
follows:
''The committee carefully computed the
average prices per annum Of the nine
principal agricultural products, barlay,
corn, cotton, hemp, oats, meats, rye, to-
bacco and wheat since 1860, and, after
giving to each product its weight in pro-
portion to it's yield, combined an tabu
lated, the average values i'll gold of these
nine products for every year from 1860 to
1891, that of 1860 being represented by 100

every fifth year, to which 1 have added

A RECENT number of the San Jose
(Cal) Mercury contains a vigorous
article by DIR. A. c. Simonton, of that
city, who is probably one of the ablest
physicians on the Pacific coast, on the
subject of tuberculosis and the effect
of that disease in cattle in causing
tuberculosis, or consumption, as it is
better known, in the human species.
DR.. Simonton says that Tuberculosis
Is the most fatal disease that effects
man. One-seventh of the race is car
ried Off the earth by it. In the Uuited
States there are 440 deaths from tuber-
culosis every twenty-four hours, MAX
ing $3.50 per week and 100, l60 per
annum. War is nothing compared to
it." The doctor then goes on to say
that the disease is communicable and in
large measure preventable. The
germ that produces it gains entrance
into the body in various ways, "the
most common of which are the breath
ing of dust laden with dried bacilli,
and eating the meat of and drinking
the milk from tubeculOus animals"
The dried germs, he says, are "dis-
tributed and deposited over the face of
the earth by the sputum of those
laboring under the disease" To these
nearly every human being is exposed,
but fortunately they soon lose their
vitality when exposed to sun, air and
earth" Not so, however, the germs
which have their origin in the meat
and milk of tuberulous animals, which
are widespread cause of consumption
In persosns who have inherited or &C
quired through weakness or debility
predisposition to the dread disease.
The statement is made i'm the same
article that about Is, 100000 gallons of
milk and 100000 pounds of butter
are used in this country daily, besides
many thousands of pounds of cheese,
and the doctor asserts that "most of this
milk from carries contains the germs of
tuberculosis" These facts and figures
will be somewhat startling to the aver
age reader and they can hardly fail to
impress him or her with the impor-
lance of exercising the utmost care to
prevent the use of milk or meat from
infected animals.

as they do few newspapers would be
published. Settlement and develop
ment would be slow indeed and the
aborigines and moss backs would soon
hold full sway throughout the land.
The most successful business men in
any community are almost invariably
the ones who are the best, though not
necessarily the largest, advertisers.

may be strikingly shown:

1t will be seen that during the thirty
one years under consideration the eX-
change power of gold for the principal
agricultural products, taken together, has
remained substantially uniform, while
the same power of silver has meanwhile
decreased 80 per cent. If one can under
stand this statement he will infer very
properly that gold has not appreciated in
its purchasing power to any considerable
extent since the discontinuance of the
use of silver, and that any assumption to
the contrary is a fallacy, derived from the
imagination, or misstatement of facts"

THE county is fortunate in having
been able to dispose of its bonds when
it did. The market for this class of
western securities seems to be declin-

and there is no doubt that it would be
quite difficult, if not altogether impos-
sible, to negotiate an equally advan-
tageOus sale at present.

SPENCER STARTS HOME,
The Lawrence Young Man Leaves the
 Philadelphia Hospital

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-Herbert c. Spencer, accompanied by Charles B. Spencer, his brother, left the Phila- delphia hospital at 1 o'clock Sunday for his home in Lawrence, Kan
 The leave taking of Spencer was very pathetic. During his four months stay at the hospital his gentlemanly manners and evident refinement ap- pealed strongly to the officers. SO in short time he had a friend in every one of them Dr. Daniel Hughes took almost fatherly interest in the young man.
 The brothers were accompanied to the train by Dr. Ernest Robinson. Her bert's former friend. Spencer shook hands with him and thanked him for bringing about the reunion with his family, but he spoke to Dr. Robinson as an acquaintance of a few days standing, and not as one whom he had known for fifteen years.
 Up to the time of leaving Spencer re- membered nothing about himself fur ther than stating that his brothers face was familiar. He called his brother Charlie and seemed to lean on him and be perfectly happy and contented in his presence.

THE JACKSON OF THE DAY God Especially Formed His Character. Will Lead the People Out of
 Bondage.
sTerrlt' After an Interview with the Democratic Nominee.

DENVER, Colo, July 31-C. D. Lane, of California, chairman of the National committee of the silver par ty, arrived in Denver today and left for the west tonight MT. Lane, who stopped at Lincoln, Neb., on his way west to visit MT. Bryan, said today: My impressione of MT. Bryan are best expressed by a statement made to a business man whom was talking with yesterday. I told him in my opinion MT. Bryan was the Jackson of the nineteenth century and that God had especially formed his character and guarded his movements to lead the people out of the bondage into which they have been plunged. He is un- occasionally the man for the hour. He is broad and liberal in his views and holds the deepest convictions as to what is needed MT. Bryan has much greater hopes than to be elected president of the United States. His object is to purify politics and to change the existing conditions which govern elections. He is a plain, un- assuming man and is straightforward as farmer of Jefferson's day"
 MT Lane says that Bryan and Se- wall will carry California by a large majority.

A BEREAiVED MAN.
Within One Year Ten Members of His
 Family Die

NEW YORK, July 31-After a year of continuous bereavements Charles F. Mcclure of Newark, has just added to his cup of grief the news that his sister and her four children perished in Colorado last Friday, victims of the cloudburst near Morrison and Golden, in that state. He is almost prostrated by the last shock.
 MT. McGufre is a master plumber, living at 17 Fair street.
 Within the last twelve months he has lost through death, his wife, a daughter, his father, brother and a brotherin the latter being the husband of the sister who has just been drowned. This sister is Mrs. Lizzie Heres. Six years ago this sis ter and her husband went west and settled in Morrison where he engaged in business. About two months ago Heres burst a blood vessel and died suddenly, leaving behind the widow and four children.
 When Heres died Mir. McGuire went to Morrison to help his sister in set ting up the estate. He remained un- til two weeks ago when he returned east, leaving Mrs. Herres and several families in the neighborhood arrang- ing to go into camp for the balance of the summer. They tried to induce him to wait and spend a week in camp with them, but his business would not permit it, so he returned here. Had he remained ha world undoubtedly have met the fate of his sister and other campers

KANSAS CITY, July 31.-Frank Bruce. aged 46, a native of Missouri, died of consumption in the Jefferson vile, Ind, prison, July 26. He was sent from Terre Haute in 1893 to serve six years for cracking a safe When he arrived at the prison he was said to have s100,0O0, but what disposition he made of it could not be learned. His wife, Lottie Bruce, noted shop litter, often visited him and wore $10,000 worth of diamonds on her per- son. She was divorced recently and married man we'll known in Chi cago. Bruce was known to the police officials all over the country, and par ticfpated in numerous noted burglaries in the west. Several of his pals are in the Canon City, Colo, prison.

He weighed seventy pounds at his death and ITO when he arrived at the prison- For thirteen months he was in the hospital and kept alive only by his great nerve and vitality. His parents live in St. Louis He was recently converted. Louisville friends of his will bury him.
 Bruce was we'll known to the Kan sas City police and both he and his wife have operated in this city.

CAMPAIGN HAT.
Adopted to the Heat of Politics Rather
 Than Summer.

BOSTON, July 9d.-The Mckinley hat has come.
 It will not be a popular hat for hot weather, but nevertheless it will be worn, and when the torchlight parades of the fall begin it will be the most popular one on the street
 The first man to bring the hat to Boston is Kneeland street manufac- turer who has completed a design which would have made Napoleon con- tented with an existence at St. Helena and which should have tickled the souls of the actors and politicians from Maine to California who smile and look beatific when told you're the perfect image of Napoleon"
 The present Mckinley hat is a Ma poleonic affair of course, black felt, but as rigid as medieval helmet. Its only ornaments are a gold globe marked Our Field,' a gold eagle and Protection" in large gold letters There is nothing silvery about the hat and it will not be worn by the argen. tiferous politicians,

 Convict

COLUMBUS, O., July 31.-A man of extraordinary appearance waved an adieu to the officials and walked rapid ly through the prison grounds to the freedom of the world What attracted attention to the individual was the fact that bis hair and beard were a bright green in color. He was John Ellis, a second-term prisoner.
 Time and the events of his life have told upon his once raven locks and his hair and mustache were quite gray un- til yesterday. He desired to disguise his age and dyed his hair He sent out of the prison for several drugs, with which he seemed familiar, and with these he mixed a decoction, which he liberally applied to his hair. He thought that it would color black Imagine the surprise of the artistic gentleman, when upon becoming dry, his hair and mustache assumed a bril- liant green.
 Ellis could not remedy the mistake. and will keep under cover until the green wears off.
