Would Not Eat the Flag.

An Englishman in Washington, at din
ner, declined to eat an ice frozen in the
shape and colors of the American flag.
This he did because he held it to be bad
form to absorb the national emblem. The
incident was significant as showing the
distinction and tho difference between the
British idea of patriotism and our own.
Englishmen lift their hats when their flag
is carried past and rise when the nation
al anthem is played in theaters and music
halls. No true Briton, in trade or out Of
it, would use tho Gag Of his country for
advertising purposes. Gazette.

A Strange Tumor That Mystified the
Great Medical Men of Two Continents

Mysteries to the Roentgen Ray
Slowly But Surely Science Is Filling the
Nlches That Medicine Has yainIy Tried

w. H. p, a prominent merchant of
this city, has suffered for years from
strange growth at the lower border of
the ribs on the right side. The nature
or the growth was so obscure that Mr.
+. consulted many of the most promi-
nent medical men on this coast without
obtaining any satisfactory information
regarding his trouble. A trip abroad
was taken and all the famous Spas Wis
1ted in hopes that relief might be OBJ
tanned from these sources. Many fam
GUS European savants examined this
strange growth, even the immortal Vir-
chow was consulted and diagnosed it a
neoplasm of the small intestines. Great
persuasion was brought TO bear on Mr..
+. TO induce him to permit them to make
eXplorative incisions, but owing to the
conflict of eminent opinions Mr.. p. de-
clded to let well enough alone" and car
ry his tumor awhile longer.

JOHN SMITH, Laborer
Replying to 7. II. Wells

Editor Herald: In your issue of this
day Mr.. T. II. Wells furnishes us with
about the most lucid and luminous"
paper on the silver question we have as
yet seen.
1t would seem to me to be hardly fair,
however, in writing on a subject so seri-
Gus as the financial question to make a
number Of statements that are not true
ana then draw deductions from them in
an effort to bolster up the silver side of
the question. If the best possible argu-
ment In favor of free coinage cannot be
made to accord with the truth. we would
better drop the silver question alto
gether, and spend the balance of the
campaign in a discussion as to which
of the candidates shows the greatest
amount of affection, publicly, for his
wife. whether he kisses her in the good
old-fashioned way or like May Irwin's s
up-to-date style.
There never was time when silver
was being coined at the rate Of $50, ,000. 900
IN silver. or any other amount in silver
COINED and stored away in a safe place. "
FOR the reason that we have had no free
coinage of silver since 1873.
No man ever had to stand seignor-
age" because the government bought
its silver bullion in the open market at
the market price and the difference be-
tWteI tildt Vdlue ana the stamped value
of the silver was the seigniorage which
properly accrued to the government.
Seigniorage does not mean pay for
coining silver" There is no such charge
as pay for coming silver" because no
one can get any silver coined.
Uncle Sam never had his bullion
for seigniorage," because when the bull
ion became for "seigniorage" 1t had al
ready belonged to Uncle SAM" he hav-
ing purchased and paid for it.
Mr.. Wells speaks Of the ~. Sherman
fraud seigniorage. That certainly Is
very good. Seigniorage Is one Of the chief
Jewels in the silver crown of Richard
Parks Bland! When the Bland-Allison
bill became law in 1877 (the bill which
contains seigniorage clause), Mr.. Sher-
man was secretary of the treasury and
had about as much to do with the intro
duction of the Bland free coinage bill
as did Mr. Wells himself.l
Mr.. Wells also speaks about the con-
tract Mr.. Sherman had to demonetize
silver. l shuld like to call Mr. Wells at
tention to the fact that the bill of 1873
was prepared entirely in the treasury
department under the direction of the
secretary, Mr.. George S. Boutell, Jno.
Jay Knox and D. Lindeman, and that
Mr.. Sherman had nothing to do with 1t
until it reached the senate, and on the
only aye and nay vote taken Mr. Sher-
man voted nay.
Mr.. Wells would better attribute the
fraud and crime to Senator Silver Stew
art Of Nevada. He worked and fought
like a fiend for the passage of the crime
act Of 1873. ALPHEUS REDMAN.

THE SILVER SUBSTITUTE.

II Stands Poor Show.

Washington, Feb. t. During the day,
the silver Republicans had ample oppor-
tunity to confer about the action of the
finance committee, and there is reason to
believe that they will almost unanimously
vote to kill the substitute reported to the
Senate, believing it is not in the interest
of, but disadvantageous to the silver
cause.
Many senators expressed their intention
of supporting Quay $ motion to recommit
with instructions to separate the SUBJECT
