A>CHILD'S ODD PRAYERS.

"Cornhlll" has an article on
"Children's Theology" which Is
full of good things. Several have
already gone the round of the pa
pers, and all suggest that this branch
of the now fashionable "child study"
will be more sedul0usly cultivated
in magazinedom than heretofore.
Here are few specimens:
"Jacky is aim ost always on good
terms with his mother, but he has a
tiresome aunt whom he has good
reason for disliking. He was once
unavoidably left in her charge while
his mother was away from home,
and her visit was not altogether a
success. She had been obliged
to punish him severely for some
fault, and after the operation was
over he was seen to get a pencil
and, retiring into a corner of the
nursery, laborio usly write some-
thing upon a small piece Of paper.
The same spy who observed him do
this watched him afterward from
the window while be dug a hole
with his little spade and buried the
bit of paper in corner of the gar
den. When Jacky was safely OUT
Of the way the spy exhumed his
manuscript. 1t ran rs follows:
'Dear lll,-Pleas come and take
Antie.'
"Jacky longed above all things
for bicycle-longed and prayed,
too, that SOME one, his god-mother
for choice, would give him one.
Every day he came downstairs
hoping to find the machine of his
prayers In the hall, At last some
thing came, but 1t was a tricy Gle !;
and godmamma, lying In ambush to
be a witness of The child's raptures,
heard instead heavy sigh, and, %
God, l did think you would have
known the difference between BIZ
cycle and tricycle. Once when
he had been so exceedingly naughty
that his mother almost despaired
of him, she told him he must pray
to God to make him better boy.
Accordingly he began with the
usual formula. 'Pray, God, make
me good boy adding after
pause, 'and if at first you don't sue
coed, try, try, try again."

POpuItst Suggestion for an Ideal
Democratic Ticket.

POpuIhst Suggestion for an Ideal
Democratic Ticket.
" CHICAGO, July 3.-Francis G. New
lands Is silver Populist member of
congress from Nevada. He is one of
the first silver men elected, as such, to
congress. His election to the house
was followed soon after by the with
drawal Of Senators Stewart and Jones,
Of Nevada, from the Republican party
and their joining the silver Populists
party in the senate. Mr.. NeWlands Is
in Chicago in the interest of Senator
Teller. He says that Senator Teller
can get more votes than any other can
didate, Democrat, Republican or Popu-
list. In order to show the Importance
of securing the Populist and silver Re
publicans by nominating Mr.. Teller.
Mr.. Newlands presents the following
figures:
Democratic vote in 1892, $500, 000
Democratic vote in the gold states of
New England, New York and Philadel-
phia, 100000. Democratic vote in Pop
ulist states of the West, 100000, leaving
3,75O000. Deduct gold Democratic votes
20 per cent, 100000, making the ma
tional Democratic silver vote 1900, 000
Populist and silver vote on basis Of
1894, 1000, 900. Free silver Republican
vote, 1000, 900. Independent vote of or
ganized labor. 100000, making total Of
$780, 900, and total silver vote in United
States, 100000.
Mr. Newlands says that Senator Tel
Ter can secure all the silver votes, and
adds: 1.-THE leaders Of the silver De-
mocracy as a rule recognize this, but
the rank and file do not to the same de-
gree, and here lies the difficulty. The
danger is that the Democrats may mis-
take the popularity Of the silver cause
for the popularity Of the Democratic
party The latter has no popularity.
Five weeks ago there was not a silver
Democrat in the house of representa-
tives who did not admit that the Demo
cratic party would be disastrously beat
en-. Now they think they are sure to
win"
Mr.. Newlands also makes a sugges-
ton for the vice presidency. He says
Teller for president and Mclean for
vice president would be an ideal ticket
The latter has been the only metropoli-
tan Journalist who has been uncom-
promisingly for silver. He made the
fight in Ohio against Brice and his
lieutenants, and won. He Is a man Of
broad views, quick in action, full of re-
to silver for over twenty years, and
believe that he can carry even Ohio for
u.s."
Mr.. Newlands says that the Greeley
izing Of the Democratic party in 1872 is
not a parallel case, because the Popu-
list party now stands ready to cast
2. 500. 900 votes for candidate like Tel
Ter. Mr. Newlands expects to see Mr..
Teller secure many votes in Virginia,
Georgia, North and South Carolina and
other Southern states.

INDIANA ACTION WAS UNExPEcTnI
Delegation Is for Matthews and VIII
Not Go Into Amy Silver Conn
binati0n Deal.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The Indiana dele
cation held a protracted meeting to-
night and took unexpected action in OPP
position to the plan for holding caucus
of silver delegates, at which the silver
nominee is to be chosen. Speeches were
made denouncing the proposed caucus
as undemocratic, after which the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
passed:
Resolved, That the delegation from Indi-
ana believe that the nominee of this conven-
ton ought to be made by the convention and
we decline to attend or be bound by the ac-
ton of any caucus conference for that
purpose"
When the caucus closed Senator Tur-
pie made public the resolution, and add
ed the following statement:
1.-THE resolution was passed for the
reason that our state and several others
have instructed by name for a candi-
date for the presidency, to be voted
for first and last in the convention. We
think also it is undemocratic that the
question Of the nomination for the presi-
dency should be submitted to less
body than the whole convention. All
the states in the union have been in
vited to send delegates to this convent
ion, and the question of a nomination
ought not to be considered in body
consisting Of less than all the states,
and conference or caucus not having
delegates from all the states is not a
convention and ought not assume to be
one"
AS the Indiana delegation is conduct
ing the candidacy of Governor Mat
hews, the effect of the resolution is to
withdraw participation on the part of
Gov. Mathews friends in the proposed
caucus.

standard, come perilously near the
lines Of outright falsehood? If the gold
standard is preserved, would one dol
lar of silver money now in existence,
either in the United States or in any
other country in the world, disappear?
Would one dollar of our silver coins
lose the purchasing or debt-paying
power which 1t now possesses? Would
the silver in the treasury and In circu-
lation be diminished by single coin?
Has anybody suggested that the silver
dollars be taken out of circulation or
deprived of the legal tender quality?
AS we have said before, we do not
quarrel with these gentlemen for be-
lieving in the free coinage Of silver If
the arguments are satisfactory to
them; but we do think 1t unworthy of
them, as 1T seems to be popularity at
silver cause, to address to the public
statements which are not only not
founded on fact, but which convey a
very positive impression directly con-
trary to fact. This deep-seated ten
dency of the free silver movement. APP
pearing in every speech and article on
the subject, il. the shape of a willing
ness to turn the cold shoulder upon ac-
cepted truths, must be something more
than coincidence. 1t is, to our mind.
the most serious reflection upon the
free silver cause, and a surface indica-
ton of the denial Of moral considera-
tons that lies beneath
