Says the Register: "Gold monometallsm
Is one thing and silver monometallism Is
another, but It should not be forgotten
that bimetallIsm is still another" Well.
which does the Register favor and why?-
lntelligencer.
Bimetallism, dear. And why? Because
II Is right and because the single gold
standard Is wronG.-RcSistcr.
Here we have declaration In favor Of
bimetalllsm and another declaration
( that the gold standard Is wrong. This
shows that the subject Is not understood
by our neighbur. Since 1t rejects the
gold standard It must favor the silver
standard or the so-called double stand
ard. A double standard for measuring
money Is US absurd as double standard
for measuring potatoes or coal. a short
ton will not sell for so much long ton.
Our present standard Is gold. We
could make 1t silver or copper. With
the gold standard We use silver literally
and more than we used II before. We
/. have bimctallism. that Is to say the use
/. OF two money metals, in practice.
She change, OF the free silver men
would make would bring US to silver
basis That would drive gold out OF
circulation, and in stead OF bimctalllsm.
Z or. two-metallism. we would have mono
metallism. or one-mctallism. Every
5 gold standard country In the world uses
silver along with gold. No silver stand
( ard country uses gold.
Free silver men like to talk about the
4 per; capita OF money. This means the
( amount OF money to the head OF the
population. Here again the silver
Z standard countries are fur behind the
sold standard countries.
Except England. there Is not 4 gold
standard country that has not more
silver per capita than any silver stand
ard country has. and England has more
than most Of the silver countries. The
8 United States has more than twice as
& much silver per capita as Mexico has.
France has six times as much as Japan.
Z Germany has more than India.
II we take the total per capita of all
kinds OF money the silver countries cut
no figure at all In comparison with the
gold countries. II we add bank credits, a
i highly important feature OF the clrcu-
!. lation. the silver countries are simply
out OF consideration.
The. only practical bimetalllsm is the
!, use OF gold and silver on n gold basis.
Must what we have in this country to-
d. ly, with every silver dollar as good tbs
.eytcry gold dollar.
III: the Register Is going to join with
the rce silver men to change this, 1t will
hav't to fool a great many people before
1t cain get much OF n following for free
silver. In this nclghborhood.

A BET SETTLED.

As to the Tides In Lake Michigan. A difference of opinion between two well known gentlemen who happened to meet at Lighthouse Point Saturday af- ternoon in relation to whether or not the tide rose and fell in Lake Michigan led to a large bet being posted in the hands of a representative of the Cour- fer who happened to be present. It was finally agreed that Weather Ob- server Myers should be consulted, he being chosen by both parties as a com petent person to settle the question, they agreeing to abide by his decision. The following is what MT. Myers has to say on the subject:
 In Lake Michigan, at Chicago, the tide Is about 1% inches. Lake tides are small and difficult to detect.
 U. G. MYERS,
 Observer Weather Bureau. Theoretically these tides bear about the same ratio to the rise and fall of the tides in mid-ocean that the length of the lake does to the diameter of the earth. MYERS.

FUNERAL OF MRS. BRILL.

The funeral services of Mrs. John Brill took place yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence of her hus- band, S15 State street, attended by a large number Of relatives and friends, also by Deborah lodge, Daughters of Rebecca, and the Ladies' Aid society, of both of which the deceased lady was a member. The pallbearers were the four sons of the deceased. Rev Charles H. Siebke officiated and made beautiful remarks, appropriate to the death of one who in all the relations in life was esteemed and whose death will be deep 1y mourned not only the bereaved fam fly, but by many friends. The Rev. Mir
 Siebke, in his tribute to the deceased and his remarks of consolation, spoke of the fact that her four sons were to act as her pallbearers, and how appro- priate it was that they who nourned a mother truly beloved should offioiate in committing the remains to mother earth; and the pastor spoke finely of the beautiful hope of the resurrection to better life which is inspired by the Christian faith. The directors of the funeral were Messrs. Stahl 6 Son.

Berlin, Conn.,, Aug. 16.-The new sta tion of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, which is being erected to replace the one burned down last winter, is rapidly approaching completion, and will probably be finish ed in a few weeks. The platforms have been rebuilt, and are longer than be- fore. The opinion held locally is that the new building is not so beautiful ar chitecturally as the old, but it con tains more improvements. It is thought that tickets will be sold in the building before the last of September.

Funeral of the Late Professor Newton.
 The funeral services over the re- mains of the late Herbert A. Newton of Yale were held Saturday afternoon at 23S Prospect street. Many who had learned to love and honor this beloved professor were in attendance. Among them were many of our first citizens. During the summer vacation at Yale and the absence of many of his friends as large as 1t would otherwise have been. Rev. George Bushnell, D. D., officiated and delivered brief but touching eulogy upon the life and char acter of the deceased The services were very simple but deeply impressive, in accord with what would have been without doubt, the wishes of the de- ceased, who was ever modest, unob- trusive despite his fame and honors. The pallbearers were: President Car- ter of Williams college, Professor Phillips and Professor J. Willard Gibbs of Yale, Dr. w. l.. Elkin of the Yale observatory, Dr. William H. Carmalt, and Professor H. $. Williams. The in- terment was in Grove street cemetery.
 Among those at the services were: ex- Governor Charles R. Ingersoll, Flu gene Bristol, and the following mem bers of the Yale faculty: Prof. Arthur T. Hadley, Treasurer William w. Far nam, Prof. O. c. Marsh, Prof. Henry Shaler Williams, Prof. Franklin B. Dexter, Prof. Thomas R. Lounsbury; also Messrs. D. Cady Eaton, Eli Whit ney, George D. Watrous and number of other prominent men.
