brought into the young mans poetic
mind the following thoughts with
apologies to the fellow who scrubbed
a few lines about an oak pail):
How dear to my heart
Is the sound Of those boot4heels,
When they fall with a thud
On the floor just above:
1t is then am sure
The old man Is retiring,
And my fancy turns lightly
To thoughts OF sweet love.
Other sounds have their beauty,
l must say, Ito he honest,
Among them the voice OF my
Sweetheart SO dear:
But l eve enjoy them the most
Till the moment
The thud Of those boot-heels
Strikes the drum OF my ear.
The thud OF those boot-heels,
Those iron-nailed boot-heels,
Those dandy old b%oot-heels,
When they drop OF the floor.

the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis

ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, nndis
everywhere esteemed 50 highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order TO get its benc-
fetal effects. to note when You pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

1t is designed by the Episcopals to
make Dec. II a great day in the history
Of the Gem City. and II they should fail
m their purpose 1t will not be because
Bishop Talbot, Dean Mallett and all
their competent aids are not working
with might and main, bringing all the
power of their wonderful tact and en-
ergy into play.
All the clergy of the city, without
creed distinction, have been invited to
participate, and there will be many not
ed ecclesiastics from abroad, including
several bishops. The governor and staff
will be present, and all the secret So
cieties Of the city have been requested
to lend their presence. The invita-
tons to the societies were sent out by
Dean Mallett today, and The Republic
a is requested to state that all are
urged to participate in the ceremonies.
If by chance any have been overlooked,
they must not consider it a slight, for
pains have been taken to reach all. 1t
is the wish of Bishop Talbot that all
the citizens OF Laramie should look up
on the 18th as their day and that all
should feel they are especially invited
to come out and assist by their pres
ence in the dedication of the beautiful
structure which they have contributed
materially in erecting.
The line OF march will be formed at
st. Matthew's hall, Hon. Otto Gramm
acting as marshal Of the day. The or
der has not yet been fully decided up
on, but will be published later.
The Union Pacific has very kindly
consented to make a rate OF one fare

What Next ?

If we in this country are to be kept
permanently on the gold standard, with
10 particular coinage of silver eX-
cept in the remote contingency Of an
international agreement, save only the
small present activity of the mints in
coming subsidiary silver; and if, added
to this, the circulation Of currency
among the people, now $l62, 100000 less
than 1t was two years ago, Is TO be in
the near future still further abridged
by the retirement of the $500, 900, 900
worth Of present outstanding green
backs. according to the programme of
Mr. Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle and the
various banking associations, the Ques-
tion must sooner or later be answered
how the people in the sparseiy settled
south, southwest and west, the people
where bank books are few and the
check system of doing business there
fore little in vogue. are to be accom-
modated with money sufficient to de-
velop their resources, move their crops
and pay off their farm mortgages. 1t
does not stand to reason that a major
ity Of the voters of this country will be
content to try to fit a growing popula-
tion to stationary or, rather, a con-
Tacting. currency one moment longer
than is absolutely necessary. The free
silver coinage scare may seem to make
such an anomalous experiment neces-
sary just at this time, but with that
scare once removed there will mani
testify soon need to be an energetic
overhauling of our currency system
with view to securing in 1t greater
elasticity and safer foundation. The
defeat Of the silver extremists is only
half the battle. 1t removes one dam
ger. but in doing SO 1t calls into re-
newed prominence another danger,
that will demand for it's removal some-
thing more practical in the way Of
craftsmanship than parrot-like repe-
tition of the misnomer. "sound money"
