The Summer seems pausing moment for rest,
In September;
The Autumn is watching her out of the west,
And soon he will come in his fire-dappled vest.
But how like nourner the forests will wall,
In November,
With clusters of beauty the vines are aglow,
In September;
How sweety and softly the zephyrs can blow,
How wed to the sunlight the streamlets that flow!
But all of a sudden chill in the air
Creeps up like spirit, and whispers 'Prepare
For December"

used as money. Each stood on its own footing,
and each was coined at a certain fixed ratio.
Each was independent of the other. Both
stood as honest dollars. How, then, can it be
said that to return to that same position will be
dishonest? Did America use dishonest money
for many long years? If she did not, is not
the dishonesty applicable to those men who
changed the original financial system? or is the
charge OF dishonesty to be applied to those who
wish to return to the former order of our finan-
cia system? If the two metals circulated as
the blood OF this nation, without either one
being backed by the other, can they not so cir
cnlate again? If they did do this, and then
one of them was cut off, did not this cutting off
of one of them contract the circulating medium
at least one-haf! And if half the circulating
medium (blood) be cut off, will not depression
and weakness of the nation (body) be natural
result? And then again, if only one-half of
that circulating medium is left, and it is still
further contracted (withdrawn), will that not
produce, as natural result, paralysis of the
limbs (labor and industries) and death be i'm
minent? And what does death to nation
mean? Does it not mean that, in their despe
ration, men will let their evil passions rise and
gain dominion over them? And does not that
mean stealing, numbering, ETC.?
When money becomes SO precious (dear)
that it takes great deal more work to obtain
it. man will murder his fellow man for very
little of it. He will steal rather than see his
wife and children starve. Then let us have
plenty of money, that the morals of our peo-
pie be not injured; that labor may have its just
recompense and reward.
Take peep over in Europe. What is the
average wage, all classes of labor included in
the gold-standard countries? Not to exceed rs
cents day. Can man live and care for his
family as he should for IS cents day? How
much of a good business education-not to
speak of a college education-can he give his
son or daughter at that wage?
The mind is the handspring of success A
lack of education, how fearful since it handi-
caps the handspring and prevents its develop
1nent and expansion. And, pray, how can books
be bought tuition be paid, body be nourisled

WHITNEY TO WED.
His Bride the Widow of "A Captain
in the British Army.


Bar Iarbor, Ne, Sept. 2S.-Hon. Will
lam C. Whitney, formerly Secretary of
the Navy, will be married at St. Sauvres
Episcopal church here tomorrow to Mrs.
e. S. Randolph of New York, to whom he
was reported to be engaged last summer.
New York, Sept. 2s.-T. ]. Regain, priv
ate secretary to William C. Whitney. to-
night confirmed the Bar Harbor, Me-,
dispatch, which announced that the ex-
secretary would be married tomorrow
to Mrs Edith Randolph.
Mrs. Edith Randolph is the widow of
Capt Arthur Randolph of the Fifteenth
Hussars. Queens CIV. NJ Regiment of
England. The marriage will be private.
The wedding ds to take place at noon to-
morrow, almost Immediately following
the PRONUNCIATION of the engagement, as
Mr.. Whitney hoped thereby to avoid any
unnecessary prominence being given to
the affair The chief reason for this is
because of the death, few days ago, of
ex-senator Henry B. Payne, the father
of THE late Mrs. Whitney.
Mr.. Whitney left Newport for Bar Har-
Dor about two weeks ago. He was suf-
fering from rheumatism at the time
There he met Mrs. Randolph. An I'M
derstanding has existed between the lady
and Mr. Whitney for some time. His
time was spent mostly with her. and the
rumor of their engagement, which has
been publicly INDUCED in for more than
q year, again became rife. Mr.. Whit
ney and Mrs. Randolph decided last
week that 1t would be better for the
marriage to come off as soon as possible,
and at a private dinner on Sunday. at
the Malvern cottage, where Mr.. Whit
ney has been staying, the engagement
was announced. The wedding is to be
private. only half dozen friends having
been invited. The bride and groom, it is
said will remain at Bar Harbor indefi-
nitely.
Harry Payne Whitney and his wife,
who have just been married, will not
attend the wedding, as they are to leave
Lenox for Yokohama, Japan. Mr. and
Mrs. A. H. Paget, the latter Mr.. Whit
ney's daughter, are now in the Adiron-
dacks, and. because of the expected ILL
ness of Mrs. Paget, neither will be able
to be at Bar Harbor. The guests who
have been invited have not been made
known by Mr.. Whitney or Mrs. Randolph.
Mrs. Randolph, before her marriage to
Capt. Randolph, was Edith S. May of the
May family of this city and Baltimore.
Mrs. Randolph is a first cousin of Her
man Oelr1chS, anu Oh MIS-. Wllldh Jay
wife of Col. Jay.
Mrs. Randolph has known Mr. Whitney
nearly all her life. About six years ago
she spent the summer with a party in Eu-
rope, of which Mr.. Whitney and his fam
lily were members. For the past two
years Mr. Whitney and Mrs. Randolph
have been seen together SO often that ru-
mors of their engagement were talked OF
at different times. Mrs Randolph is a
beautiful woman of light complexion, tall
and well formed.

searches In England.

HAN. historical and philosophical ex-
perts respectively of the American Ven
ezuelau commission, have completed
their researches among the documents
in the colonial office and The British mu-
scum here, and have returned to Hol-
rand to conclude their researches there.
Prior to their departure they declared
that they were greatly satisfied with the
facilities that had been Afforded them in
London for the performance OF their
work
Prof. Burr discussed the historical ac-
curacy and validity of some of the docu-
ments the British officials had submitted
anent the boundary dispute. AS a re-
suit of the examination made here, they
had been able to clearly ascertain certain
points regarding which the archives at
The Hague afforded only partial in
formation.
When questioned regarding the politi-
cal results of the inquiry, Prof. Burr de-
clined to express an opinion. He said
he did not know when the examination
of the archives at The Hague would be
finished, but he would return to Wash
ington with DR.. Ham as early as possi-
BILE and would furnish the commission
with a complete report as soon as it
could be compiled.

capes n COnnnEruttOns
Chattanooga, Tenn. Sept 2S.-The fac
tory district, situated in that portion of
the city known as South Chattanooga,
was in imminent danger tonight of be-
ing swept by a confiagration. The fire
originated in the plant of the Chattanoo-
ga Stove Works, the largest concern in
the industrial quarter, covering over four
acres of ground. A threatened storm
failed to materialize, and after two hours
the flames were subdued without loss to
any other properties.
The fire started about GAO o'clock under
the low caves of the foundry shops roof
from sparks communicated from the en-
CINE room adjoining. The patterns in this
building were ruined, and the roof Quilted.
The warehouse, an immense four-story
brisk building adjoining the foundry at
right angles next took fire on the fourth
floor On this and the third floors, 5000
stoves were stored. The building was
supposed to be fire proof, but the flames
forced their way through the slate roof
and did great damage on both upper floors,
which are almost a toal loss. The prop
erty was insured, partially, for $4,000. The
loss approximates $500 900. The company
is a branch of the Cleveland, o., Coop
eratiVe Stove Company.

GUNS FOR NEW YoRK's MILITIA.
Rival Makers object to the SeIec-
ton Made by a COMMITTEES.

Albany. N. Y, Sept. 2S.-SensatIonal de-
velopments are promised at a hearing
to be had before Gov. Morton next week.
For the past few weeks Gov Morton has
received a number OF protests from gun
manufacturers against his approval of
the report of the special committee which
he appointed 10 select a gun for the re-
armament Of the national guard of the
state. This commission, after testing a
dozen guns of different manufacturers.
submitted strong report to the governor
in favor of the gun manufactured by the
Savage Arms Company of UTICA. Many
of the other competitors in the gun test
before the special committee, have filed
protests with the governor against his
approving the report They allege col
fusion with regard TO the selection of the
Savage gun, and claim that they have
evidence which would tend to show that
favoritism was exercised in the tests
which led to its selection.
The Winchester Arms Company of New
Haven are the principal movers in the
endeavor to upset the report of the COM
mission before the governor. It is under
stood that Benjamin F. Tracy of New
York and David WEIGH of New York have
been retained to represent the Winches-
ter company before the governor. At the
latters request, Gov. Morton has agreed
to give the protestants hearing next
week, Wednesday, at 1880 o'clock. If the
governor should approve the report the
adjutant general, In pursuance of leg
islative enactment, is authorized to con-
tract for $4,000 rifles at a cost of $500 900,
with which to rearm the state militia.
