81, 900, 000, 900 of silver In the world, ac-
cordlng to the report of the director OF
the mint. over $1,000, 100000 had been
coined by the countries of the world.
IF liberal use of silver or legal enact
ment could sustain its value, why had
the commercial price, in view of these
facts, gone down steadily?
Mr.. Turner was enumerating some of
the great names abroad that stood for
the gold standard when Mr.. Terry Of
Arkansas interrupted him.
1.-THE German reichstag has declared
for bimetallism," he said. land the COM
mon people of England favored bimet-
allism. OF course the Rothschilds are
for the gold standard. They hold a
mortgage on everything in Europe AS
they hold a receivership Of the United
States treasury" (Applause.)
''Balfour, the most conspicuous hi
metallist In England" replied Mr.. Tur-
ner, has declared that Great Britain
alone could not enter on bimetallism,
and the gentleman should have been
candid enough to state that the German
reichstag declared for bimetallism, with
the aid of other commercial nations.
Thus, one by one, their arguments
evaporate."

DALZELL'S ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania brought
the house back to the question whether
II should subjugate its duty and judg-
ment to the senate; whether the house
should abandon Its bill and accept that
OF the senate.
Mr.. Dalzell analysed the contentious
OF the silver men. 1t was agreed that
the commercial relations between gold
ana silver Is 81 to ]. Silver men CON
tended that the opening OF mints to sill
yer would make the metal appreciate in
value, until the commercial value would
be brought to the legal value. But this
was mere assertion and dogmatism.
Mr.. Dalzell said there was conclusive
proof In the past experience of Europe

GHOST ScARES FARMERS.

Searching Party Armed with shotguns
Organized for Its Capture.
Farmers of Benton township, Elkhart
county, Ind, are greatly excited over
the appearance of an apparition at an
old church and graveyard.
The specter was first seen by John w.
French and his wife while they were re-
turning from q visit in the neighbor-
hood. The ghost is said to be about
eight feet high and to resemble an old
man with long, white beard, dressed in
white and carrying club. While it ap-
pears in the form of a man, however, it
is transparent and makes q. noise resem-
bling thunder. 1t advances rapidly up
on travellers until about ten feet from
them, when it suddenly disappears.
The ghost frightened William NJ.
Moon one night recently so that he has
been under the care of a physician ever
since. A searching party went out the
other night armed with shotguns look
ing for the scepter, and it was seen sew
eral times at distance, and each time
was greeted with volley from the shot
guns of the pursuers, but each time it
disappeared only to Immediately reap
pear in different locality.
Another posse went out the next
night, which was divided into groups of
two and three persons, stationed 100
yards apart. Quite number in the
neighborhood refused to go on these ex.
petitions, fearing dire results. Some Of
the neighbors say that the spirit resem-
bles an old man who was murdered
some years ago in that locality, save in
height.

Indigestion is the curse of the city

Probably half the horses in New YORK

horse nor man knew indigestion.
Where man has gone he has taken the
horse with him, and the horse as we'll

tie diseases which are the penalties OF
civilization. The milestones of modern
civilization are marked by the new dis

cred by the modern physician. When
Russia sent la grippe to the western
world the horse got it as we'll as man,
and it showed the same contagious
tendencies in horse communities as IN
men communities. Not long ago u
horse in California got the brain fever
The surgeons at hrst thought that
there was something the matter with
his ear.
As he couldn't speak. he couldn't tell
the surgeons that his poor old head felt
as II 1t was about to split open.
So he did the next best thing. lie
shook his head as hard as he could,
and tried to raise havoc with every
thing within reach of his heels. After
he was tied firmly the surgeons Sound
out the trouble, and jp few days
sent him back to his owner feeling
like an old gentleman who had just
had n Turkish bath, no doubt to be-

TONS A race horse always has larger
heurt than a coach horse or truck
horse; often he has twice as large a
heart. In racing or trying to beat rec
ord the greatest possible exertion Is re-
ouircd of the heart, which results in
enlargement. Sometimes the horse
will have his heart enlarged without
being affected; but often the result is
a valvulaY disease, which is pretty Ger

HONESTY AGAINST DISHONESTY

This is the policy that Bryan is
asking the honest men Of the United
States to vote for:
1--WE demand the FREE and rNLlM
TIED coinage of both silver and gold
at the present legal ratio of l6 to |,
without waiting for tie aid or con-
sent of any ether nation. We demand
that the STANDARD SILVER DOLLAR
shall be a FULL LEGAL TENDER, equally
with gold for ALL DEBqs, public and
private, and we favor such legisla-
zion as will PREVENT for the future
4be DEMoNETzATIoN of any kind of
fegal tender money by private con
tract.
And this is the statement of pgin-
ciples to which Mckinley address
I'VE. are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency OF impair the credit of
our county, We are, therefore,
OPPOSED 70 the free coinage of silver,
except BY international agreement
With the leading commercial nations
Of the world, which we pledge our
selves to promote; and until such
agreement can be obtained, the ex-
listing gold standard must be pre-
served.

SEVEN MILES OF SOLDIERS
The Impressiveness Of the Recent Revue"

The Impressiveness of the Recent Review
at GOerlitz.
The Germans know how to make a
good show with troops. At the maneu-
vers on Thursday at Goerlitz $4,000
men, 1000 horses and 400 guns were
in action. The line was seven miles
long. These soldiers are trained to the
highest point, and the spectacle was a
brilliant one. 1t was intended to i'm
press the people at home with the
strength of the government, and those
outside are supposed to learn from it the
sort Of enemies they would meet if war
should arise. Germany is on a splendid
war footing. The young emperor is a
soldier. By his energy and restless NOV
ing all over the empire he shows his
subjects what deep interest he takes
in the army, as well as in other branches
of his government The car, of course,
kept his eyes open during his trip
through Germany.
From our point of view the with
drawing of over 400, 900 men from pro-
ductive operations might seem a useless
tax ON the people, but standing army
is, of course, a necessity for Germany.
There is not the slightest hope that the
dream Of those who are anxious that the
great nations Of Europe shall break up
their armed camps and sell their ships
of-war will ever be realized. The ambi-
ton of the rulers and the jealousy Of
the people are too powerful forces for
that to take place. There is far more
probability that the ornaments Of the
nations that are likely to come into col
lisiOn will be increased rather than re-
duced.
Germany in reality seems not to suf-
fer greatly from the heavy charge Of
sustaining so many men. Germany is
no longer an agricultural nation. She
has become a very important factor in
the manufacturing world-so impor-
tant, indeed, as a study Of her exports
will show, that England is watching
her progress in manufacturing with
Jealous eyes Germany's foreign trade
is steadily increasing. and in some i'm
portant branches she has monopoly.
German workmen lack some Of the
quickness and the inventive skill that
characterize the American skilled me-
chanic. but they make mp for these in
thoroughness and exactness in their
work. They may exhibit some slowness
in reaching their point, but they accom-
plish in their way what they undertake.
The love of country is very strong among
the Germans The nation is welded to-
gether today as powerfully as it ever
was. If war should arise, the people
would stand together as solidly as they
have ever done. But there is no indica-
ton that war is near. Baltimore Amer
