ADJUSTMENTS.

"A very slender audience witnessed the
performance of "Fabio Romani" at the
metropolitan Theater last night hv
<Nioeh benedict and his company. This
was due to the mismanagement of Mr.
benedict While his play is a strong
heiodrama, story taken from a fa-
nous romance, and while his people
give MIN good support, no one knew In
TINS neck of the woods who Mr.. Bene-
dict is. what the composition of his
company or anything about it, No evi-
dence were forwarded Of the Judgment
OF Eastern papers of good repute. and
no testimony from anybody as to the
merits of the play or the company. The
fact is that Miss West, the leading lady
is superior. has ability of a good order
and clearly has had experience. Mr..
Benedict Is neither weak nor strong no
is fair, earnest actor but lacks in voice
and the virility such a character as he
portrays demands. His support is good
and his company very well balanced.
Miss Hunter in her five serpentine and
Spanish dances Is very good She is
graceful and highly skilled The troupe
properly put before community would
score much credit.

A Severe Blow.

One of the most disastrous blows re-
ceived by the Bryan combination in
Virginia was the reputation of the
Chicago platform by Basil B. Gordon,

Virginia and Maryland, and his loss
will be visibly felt by the Bryanite ele.
ment. Mr.. Gordon says Mr.. Bryan

The Reason Why.

Mr.. Eckles, in his speech at the sound
money Democratic State Convention of
Illinois, said:
They scored him and refused him an
endorsement. Why7 Because alone un.
aided by the legislative branch of the
Government, he maintained the public
credit and prevented bankruptcy in
this country. Whyp Because through
his personal influence and personal ex.
ertions there wal taken from the stat.
ute books the greatest piece Of financial
folly and legislation that ever found a
place thereon. the Sherman silver act.
Why? Because he has lived up to a
platform which announced a staunch
support of the public service and of the
civil service. But they were against
him in that convention; they were
against him because at n time of dan,
ger and a time of trial he saw to 1t tho,
the public peace was preserved, the
property of the United States kept in
tact and the acts OF lawlessness sup

fifteen and one half to one, Germany
and Austria were ON a silver basis, the

in the relation to calico which it bore
fifty years ago. We remember when
butter was at 8 to /, as compared to
calico, but today calico is 8 to / as
compared with butter. The changed
ratio of butter to calico is due, not to
the goldbug. but to the fact that the
labor Of men now has more to do with
producing a pound Of butter than with
producing a yard Of calico. Steam

A Giants FOOTPRINT.

Human footprints twenty nine inches
in length and nine feet apart have been
discovered in British Columbia, and
scientists estimate that the man who
made them must have been twenty five
feet tall and large in proportion. If he

the descent of the race must have ex-

The late Oliver Wendell Holmes once
said that his idea of perfect happiness
was when four feet were on the fender.
During the latter part of his life a
friend, coming in and finding him in a
detected state of mind, asked, what
is the matter, my friendl" Mr.. Holmes
looked up with a sorrow and said:
Don't you seer There are only two
feet on the fender now" How much
of the happiness of marriage relation
is suggested by his idea, so touchingly
expressed, and the pathos of after time!
1t seems startling to think how much
may be, perhaps unheedingly, done by
ourselves to destroy our Preside happi
ness. -Reformed Church Messenger.

of Acceptance.
When those who have money lack
confidence in the stability Of values
and investments, they will not part
with their money. Business is stagnated
the life blood of trade is checked and
congested. We can not restore public
confidence by an act which would reyo-
lutionize all values, Or an act which
entails deficiency in the public rev.
enues. We cannot inspire confidence
by advocating reputation or practic-
ing dishonesty. We can not restore
confidence, either to the treasury or to
the people, without a change in our
present tariff.-Wm. Mckinley in his
Letter of Acceptance.

In 1899 the export trade of the United

500, 900 900 than the exports of any
previous year. In 1893, owing to the
threat of an unfriendly tariff legisla-
ton, the total dropped 10 $S47, 665, 1914.
Our exports of domestic merchandise
decreased $3.50, 0O0, 900 but reciprocity

Who would then maintain the par

with gold? There would be no obliga-
ton resting npon the government to
do it, and if there were, it would be
powerless to do it. The simple truth is
we should be driven to a silver ba-
sis, to silver monometalism. These dol
lars, therefore, would stand upon
their real value. If the free and I'M

sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce
