In a Swedish newspaper that has
reached us since the election we find
published an opinion on the money
question by DR.. Waldenstrom, a
member OF the Swedish riksdag (par-
liament) and we'll known in this
country, and though the battle is
now over and won, we desire to pub
fish part OF what he says, in as much
as his views coincide exactly with
those given repeatedly by the SHEAF
during the progress OF the campaign.
He says as follows:
"Your silver controversies in Amer
ica astonish, almost, the whole OF
Europe. To us here it seems equally
absurd to fix by law how much a
hundredweight Of silver shall cost in
gold, as to fix how much a hundred
weight Of iron, or copper, or wheat
shall cost in the same metal. just
think, if the great iron producers
once-just like the silver producers
now-should hit upon the idea to
propose fixing by law the relative
value OF iron and gold! They would
undoubtedly be able to show what an
impetus would be given to the iron
industry thereby, and how it would
affect all the industries OF the coun-
try, especially if the value ratio were
favorable to iron! There can be no
doubt, neither, that if the silver
standard BESIDES GOLD is introduced
in America, then will they who own
silver in Europe hurry to send it
over to America, and in it's place
bring gold over to Europe. That
will be great business. But when
America afterwards shall pay her
debts to Europe, then it must be
gold, and where shall it be had?
From Europe, Of course, and then
one will see if it can be purchased
there according to the value ratio
placed upon it by law in America!
No, there comes the stop!'

The reelection of congressman
Eddy by very handsome majority
over his Democrat-Populist oppo-
nent is a deserved compliment to a
faithful and efficient public servant.
At the beginning OF the campaign
many fears were entertained as to
the outcome in the seventh congress
sional district. Fusion had been re-
sorted to to defeat him. But Mr..
Eddy went among the people and
discussed the questions OF the day in
more than a hundred speeches. And
the people listened to his presentation
of Republican principles and gave
him their confidence and their votes.
Mr.. Eddy is a vote getter, and don't
you forget it.

Moody's Great Bible Class.

Dwight L. Moody, the famous
evangelist, has made a contract with
The Ladies' Home Journal, by which
he will conduct in that magazine a
series Of popular Bible studies in the
form of great National Bible class.
It will be made into a regular and
permanent department of the Jour
nal, and is to be known as ''Mr. Moo
dy's Bible Class" The evangelist
will personally lead his unique ''Bi-
BILE Glass" each month in the exposi-
ton of some of the vital Bible truths,
and will naturally appeal to large
circle Of readers.

BRYAN saws that he will keep

BRYAN says that he will keep up
the silver agitation and continue the
Campaign Of education during the
next four years. Before he sets out
to teach others again, it would be
well for him to do little study him
self. A few months of honest inves-
tigation in the realm Of monetary sci
ence, and little attention to the his
tory Of this country, would perhaps
throw some new light on matters
which have hitherto been clothed in
darkness for him. He would then
perhaps see the absurdity of his con
tention that the free coinage Of silver
at the ratio of Is to would give us
bimetallism when it really would be
silver monometallism. He would

The people may be led astray for a
moment, but will soon correct them
selves. The people are the only cen
sors OF their governors, and even
their errors will. tend to keep these
to the true principles Of our institu-
tions. To punish these errors too
severely would be to suppress
the only safeguard Of the
public liberty. The basis OF our
government being the opinion of the
people the very first object should be
to keep that right, and were it left to
me to decide whether we should have
a government without newspapers.

that every man should receive those

ALREADY the benefal effects of the
election of Mckinley are being felt
throughout the country. Confidence
is returning and business reviving
everywhere. Mills and factories are
resuming activity and thousands of
idle workmen given employment.
Gold is getting out from it's places of
concealment and returning to the
channels Of trade. Gold is now being
turned into Uncle Sans cash box in
exchange for greenbacks, an opera
ton just the reverse Of what took
place short time ago. The fear Of
going to silver basis has disappear
ed. All signs point to an era of pros
perity ahead of us.

WHY SILVER LOST.

All the forces of civilization, all the
enlightened@and progressive opinion,
all the productive power, the indus
trial energy and the business inter
ests Of the nation are arrayed against
the silver heresy. This will be par
TALLY shown by comparison of the
population, the assessed property val
uation, the number of workingmen,
the annual wages paid and the per
centage Of illiterates in the states car
ried respectively for Mckinley and
Bryan. This comparison we find
ready to our hand in the Cincinnati
Times-Star:
POPULATION:
States carried by Mckinley. 43 65O,270
States carried by Bryan. 81 ,914
ASSESSED PROPERTY VALUE.
States carried by Mckinley $40, no. 53S 600
States carried by Bryan: ........... 4,5OOyOO,OOO
WORKINGMEN EMPLOYED.

States carried by Bryan. 273, 79O, 544
PERCENTAGE OF ILLITERATES.
States carried by Mckinley. 81
States carried by Bryan. .14.8
In other words, nearly 20 per cent
of the population, over 80 per cent Of
the wealth, and about IS per cent of
the industrial energy, represented by
worgingmen employed is found in the
Mckinley states; while those states
also pay out about IS per cent of the
wages earned by American working
men. The statistics of illiteracy show
the source of the Organic majorities
in the Southern states. They are
born of ignorance. Pioneer Press.

ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY.

He Enjoyed Lifo's Good Thinss, but Gss
Few Of Thorn.
Mr.. Lincoln was one Of the rare talk
ers who could always point q moral
with an adorning tale taken out Of his
own experience. Everybody has expert
ences if he only knows it. Most Of Us
are SO much in the habit Of taking in
wisdom and fun through the printed
page or the story as another man tells it
that we lack the capacity to sec it for
ourselves.
The story teller is the man who finds
his own material. An old southern poll
tician was moralizing thus few nights
ago and eulogizing the man the south
used to dislike:
''When Lincoln first came to Wash
ington, Invent to see him, so prejudiced
against him beforehand that no man
with less genius could have overcome it.
I left that first interview his friend. No
man ever came under the charm of Lin
coins personality without respecting
him, and, if allowed, loving him.
One day, after we had become fairly
good friends, told him Of my early
prejudice.
Mr.. Lincoln. said, 4 had heard
every mean thing on earth about you
except one. I never heard that you were
too fond Of the pleasures Of life Mr..
Lincoln sat for a moment stroking his

drawled out in his peculiar western
voice:
That reminds me Of something that
. boy said to me when I was about 10
years old.
Once in awhile my mother used to
get some sorghum and some ginger and
mix Us up a batch Of gingerbread. It
wasn't often, and it was our biggest
treat.
Gone day smelled it and came into
the house to get my share while it was
hot. I found she had baked me- three
gingerbread men, and I took them out
under hickory tree to eat them.
+" There was family near US that
was little poorer than we were. and
their boy came along as sat down.
Abe" he said, edging close,
gimme man"
81 gave him one. He crammed it
into his mouth at two bites and looked
at me while bit the legs from my first
one.
'''"Abe." he said. ''gimme that
other n. -
$ I wanted it, but gave it to him,
and as it followed the first one said:
You seem to like gingerbread?'
ABE. !" he said earnestly, II don't
s'pose there's anybody on this earth
likes gingerbread as we'll as do" and
drawing q sigh that brought up crumbs,
II don't s'pose there 8 anybody gets less
Of it. -
And the old congressman said Mr..
Lincoln looked as though the subject
was ended. ANNA LEACH.

Crane Jelly Easily Made.

September is the month when grapes
of all kinds are in a state of perfection.
There is no fruit which makes richer or
more delicious preserves and jelly, and
the results are nearly always satisfac-
tory, both in regard to .solidity and
keeping for any length of time. Grape
jelly is especially nice to use between
layer cake or for tart filling, as the
Standard Designer observes in preface
to a choice recipe by which the jelly
will be perfectly clear without skim
ming and with saving of waste and
trouble. Take out the stones and mash
the ripe grapes; then squeeze them
through a cloth to extract all the juice
from them; use half pound of sugar to
each pound of fruit. Set the juice over
the fire, and when boiling throw in the
sugar gradually, stirring the whole
time. This must be done quickly, for
by the time all the sugar is stirred in
the juice will be ready to jelly, and il
left too long over the fire the jelly will
become oandied. Pour into small sized
lars

Selecting Wall Papers.

1t is dangerous to select figured pa
pers from small sample. A marked
pattern is apt TO develop when the
breadths are put together which the
sample did not indicate. This may be
in the shading when the figure is small,
giving a striped look to the wall, or Gu
rious effects may result from the bal
ancing of large figures. Dark patterns,
particularly when the edges are well
defined, sometimes seem to retire into
the wall, while the light backgrounds
start out, oddly shaped and perplexing.
To judge at all we'll of paper one
should see three or four breadths hung
together. Even then the figures when
on the wall may make diagonal and
oblique lines of light and shade of
which the strips gave no hint. 1t should
be remembered that all papers are
darker ON the wall than in the piece
Cartridge paper is several shades darker
on account of its rough surface, which
absorbs the light.
Cartridge paper is often darker on
one edge than ON the other. When this
is the case, every other breadth should be
hung upside down to bring the dark
edges together. The shading will not be
perceptible if this is done. Papers with
gilt background require an expert to
hang them so that the effect is not that
of two entirely different sorts of paper,
They are best avoided in any case, for
they need special environment to
make them artistic, says The Art Inter
change in concluding these hints on Sc
lecting papers.

You are begged to shun the big, shin

The woman who wants vases, but who
has not the vase fund of the Mikado,
will do well to line her purse with a
few dollars and visit first class jap

where all the japanese goods are Of
American manufacture. If the art en-

some banko ware, commonly grayish

chrysanthemums or maple leaf deco
ration, and an additional charm-the
numerous imprints of the potter's

found in all sizes and shapes and at all

When you are selecting your vases,
think of the flowers you are likely to
arrange most frequently in each partic-
ular vase. No one vase can reasonably
be expected to do duty on all occasions,
either because of its size or its coloring.

which Easter lilies look well, nor for
wild flowers the vase in which orchids
look best.

The Cold Bath Fad.

1t is told that the fad for cold morn
ing bath is waning. This is because the
doctors are descending upon their pa
tients with the edict that the morning
tub must be warm one. An English
writer tells in Vogue that shattered
nerves are quite as much the rule in
England as in America and despairing
patients are ready to follow in the foot
steps of the japanese and soothe nerves
and skin with warm water. The wise
medical men claim that half the nervous
complaints in England emanate from
the generations of people who have
practiced this nerve exhausting habit.

OF THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION

A AMERICAN REV Oil OlON
its leading serial feature for 1897 and the
masterpiece of its author, DR.. ). Weir
Mitchell. The story, Hugh Wynne,
Free Quaker" purports to be the auto
biography of its hero, an officer on
Washington's staff. Social life in Phil
adelphia at the time of the Revolution is
most interestingly depicted, and the
characters include Washington, Frank
lin, Lafayette, and others well known in
history. 1t is safe to say that the readers
of this great romance will obtain from
it clearer idea of the people who We're
foremost in Revolutionary days, and OF
the social life of the times, than can be
had from any other single source. The
work is not only historically accurate,
but is a most interesting story of love
and war. The first chapters are in the
November number. Howard Pyle will
illustrate it.
