"A Kentucky Scheme.

- 'N>'sANNJ ''SA'b't'
Seeing the Colorado and Montana
plot to force one of their commodities
on the people as money, 'tho prin-
cipal coal mine owners of Kentucky
at largely attended meeting Ego one
better" The dispatch from Louisville
states further that "a call for con-
vention of tho owners Of coal mines in
the United States, to be held in Chi
cayo, Sept. 81, to consider the follow
ing:
WHEREAS The silver mine owners of the
country have called on the American people,
through the popocratic and populist parties,
to pass laws whereby the product of the sill
yer mines can be coined into legal tender
money at twice its market value and
WHEREAS, The entire product of the said
silver mines is but S64 900 per year; and
WHEREAS, The reason given for this de
mand by said silver mine owners and the
members of the great popocrahc and pop
ulistic parties is that more money is needed
in the country; and
WHEREAS, The coal mines of the United
States produce yearly IFS ,0G0, 900 tons of coal
that sells for an average of 81 0S per ton ;
and
WHEREAS, The owners of the coal mines.
believing that the silver mine owners under
the constitution, have no more rights and
privileges than themselves therefore
ReSot0ed, That the government of the
united States of America issue to each coal
NINE owner certificate for 50 for each ton
OF coal mined, each certificate to be legal
tender for all debts, public and private
ResotDed, That the coal mine owners who
are patriotic and liberal citizens, realizing
the need Of more money for themselves and
for the country, believe that this method will
put into circulation about SIO0, 0G0 600 yearly.
thereby relieving the necessities of the coal
NINE owners and the people nearly four
times more rapidly than can posi- oly be done
by the owners of the silver mines.
KENTUCKY Coal OPERATORS
Under this plan, in the event of q
glut in the coal market. the basis for
redemption can be contracted III a
natural and profitable way.
On the other hand, if the currency
becomes too greatly expanded, mining
can be stopped and the people can burn
certificates for awhile.
1t is the profoundest scheme for an
elastic currency the JOURNAL has seen.
1t is a colossal mistake, however, to
hold the convention in Chicago, even
on the 3lst day of September
One such Chicago platform is
enough!

Since 1873 there have been nine epidemics
OF dysentery in different parts of the country
in which Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
DiarrhOea Remedy was used with perfect
success. Dysentery, when epidemic is al
most as severe and dangerous as Asatic chol-
era Heretofore the best efforts of the most
skilled physicians have failed to check its
ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the
most malignant cases, both of children and

a Practical Letter.

d. W. Snyder, editor of the Cum
berland AUeganian, writes a practical
letter concerning "Bible Reading in
the Public Schools" His opening
paragra phi follows:
Having taught school for twenty five years
and read the Bible good portion of the
time, | am unable to recall an instance where
noticed any real good DONE and the reason
is this The children come to school for an
other purpose their minds are bent on their
studies, and while the teacher is reading the
morning lesson they invariably sit with
their fingers on another book or if COM
PEELED to keep them off, their thought is
there, and they are saying to themselves |
wish he was through. The only word they
seem to want to hear is the last word. |
have made a special study of results and
have tried to believe that the Bible should be
read in the schools but | cannot. Experience
tells me the opposite,
Mr.. Snyder's experience confirms the
JOURNAL judgment of the inutilty
and inefficacy of the exercise at school.
Hence, it follows that what is force
full and fruitful outside of school hours
aud the school-house is logically IAN
unacclimated exotic inside The
pupils sense Of time and place, like
all his faculties of perception aud con-
sciousness, though very acute, are not
sufficiently discriminating to regard
Bible exercises, however limited, as a
paramount function al all hours every
where. Be he ever so attentive at Sun
day school and devout at church, the
chances Of a ratio Of many to one favor
his indiffel ence to a devotional regime,
no matter how slight, at a school not
expressly religious institution.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t a local disease, and prescrib bed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatments Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney, Toledo
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
blood or mucous surfaces of the system.
