They were on tandem, and
straight, smocth road stretched away
before them through the park for mile
or more. There was darkness nil
about, thick, imrenetrable darkness,
which lay heavy among the trees, and
betrayed the fact that the authorities
lad neglected the electric lights, count
ing on a moon that had failed to keep
her engagements.
But they did not mind the darkness.
in fact, they rather sought out the more
shadowy portions. For there is some
thing about tandem, if it steers cast
ly, which softens the iron-bound laws
of custom. The riders are so close to-
gcther. anyway. And if the one on the
rear seat leans slightly forward, and
the one on the front seat leans Just a
little back, there is no need TO sigh for
the best of hammocks.
The young man on the rear seat he'd
leaned slightly forward. Moreover, the
young woman on the front scat had
leaned just little back. And there was
more on the young woman's lips than
microbes.
Suddenly they were arrested by a
shout-it Is said that park policemen
never arrest anyone in any other way
deep, full-bodied shout that boded i'll.
Hi! You. Where's your lamp?"
They stopped and disIaounted With
burly policeman in the road there was
nothing else TO do.
"Where's your lamp?" the officer de-
manded.
They examined the front of the wheel
together. The lantern had gone out.

1.-The Truth Shall Make You
Free

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
l read with some care Mr.. Bryan's
last speech. 1t is honest, simple and
IN search of truth. No calp trap; no
dodging issues. He said the people
were opposed to raising the miners
90 cent silver to 81, bat that legis
lation (tho tariff, suppo~e), often
gave the manufactured 30 and 800
per cent. profits. He might have
made this point stronger, it seems to
me. He might have added that the
law of 1873 robbed the silver men OF
half their wealth, and it was the pur.
pose CT the people now to restore
these men their rights. Who gave
Congress tue right to dispoil the sill
ver-inen of half their gains by de-
monetizing sllverf There is no such
right in the Constitution, nor in JUS
tice. BY the way, who gave Mr.
cleveland tue rSt to say silver WAS
not coin ?Evory dictionary in the
English language says it is. Is he
wiser than the book makers! If the
law meant gold why uot say SO? Was
the word likely to become obsolete?
Any Judge before whom such an is
sue WAS brought would decide he
must needs decide-that gold alone
was not meant. There was money
perhaps, in the decision. To coli
paper is simple nonsense (see tn,
root of the word). Coin is simpl,
metallic money. Only this aud moth
ing more" Z.

FIAT PROSPERITY.

Devotion to McNintcyism born of tho Dia-
trcsses OF Hard Times
There is cause for the marvelin0 of
the anti-McKiuley bosses over the Nc
Kinley tidal wave which is sweeping,
over the republican party. It is a
craze for which no reasonable explana-
ton can be offered. Four years ago
Mckinley was condemned almost rs
vigorously By the republicans as by
the democrats. Mem bers of his own
party admitted that he was "a "one-
idea" extremist who could not be
trusted TO direct legislation. McKin-
leYism was universally execrated as
the cause OF most of the woes into
which the country was then entering.
The democratic campaign, directed al
most wholly against the Mckinley
idea OF protection, resulted in a land
slide.
Now this sentimentin the republican
masses is reversed. Mckinley is hailed
as the deliverer of the country from
the pinch of hard times. His name is
associated with prosperity. Repub-
lican leaders who attempt to combat
the uprising are driven to the wall.
The Mckinley worshipers refuse to
AaSOCh W ISlSOu. 1Aclr OSNOLlOn Is
blind and fanatical.
The truth is that the blind devotion
TO McKinleyism is founded on a delu-
sive hope of fiat prosperity, born of the
distresses of hard times The McKin-
ley worshipers cherish the delusion
that in some mysterious way McKn-
iey's election will cause n complete
change of industrial and commercial
conditions. In the current language
of this belief 1.-THE wheels of factories
and mills will begin to turn, cold chim-
neys will smoke, trade will resume and
labor will find employment at good
wages" As one of the republican
bosses said with a sheer, five minutes
after Mckinley is inaugurated the man
who has goods to sell will get so per
cent more for them, the laborer out of
employment will get an offer of n lob
at high wages and the man who had a
dollar will find two in his pocket. :"
Reason is overthrown in a craze of
this kind. All that wise men can do is
to await the inevita Ole disappointment
! which will re-establish her sway.-St.

Dig down to the cause OF youi
sickness, if you want to get well and
stay well. Most likely it's indiges
ton. The irritating poisons of fer
mentiDg, putrid food, left in the
stomach by Indigestion, cause head
ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi
nesss, stomachache, nausea, irlitabil
ity, and all the other well.known
symptoms of Indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid TO 9th
er causes and hence are not easily
cured. But as soon SIS the poisons
arc removed, all these symptoms aud
disorders disappear, because there ia
nothing left to cause them Nothing
succeeds in this like Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial, because it prevents the
undigested food from fermenting in
the stomach and helps the stomach
to digest it's food.

pathic physicians, and after discoursing
on all the topics of interest of the day,
settled down to tell her ailments. Among
other thinGs. she said that she was
greatly annoyed with a sinking feel
ing. The physician prepared little
bottle of pills and gave them to her,
with minute directions as to how they
should be taken. The woman again
began to talk, and after many vain ef-
forts to get her out. she started for the
door. She had just opened 1t, when
she turned and said: "Oh, doctor, what

A Single Narrow Idea.

Devotion to protection, narrowing
the republican party down to a single
idea, before which broader views are
dwarfed, furnishes the full explana-
tion." the Boston Herald Qnd.) thinks.
for the present condition of the repub-
lican party. "Everythingtsust yield
to the tariff, and when everything does
yield, il leads the nation to care com.
paratively little for the character of its
presidents; the capacity to pronounce
the protectionist shibboleth more pli b.
ly overcomes talent, character, and all
the qualities that fit a president to be
the pride of the nation. Such is typ;.
cal republicanism now.~
