THE SITUATION OF I; DEMOCRATIC
BOLTER.

The National Democratic conventions of
1884. 1888 and 1892, have I'LL endorsed BIZ
metallism. The Democrats voted for the
nominees of all three and elected two of
Them. The National Democratic conven-
ton of 1896 does the same thing as the
other three and in addition pledges the
party to make the endorsement bear fruit.
And you bolt because your party believes
when it makes promise it also to try
to keep it. That a Republican might
bolt has party ticket is reasonable, for his
party at st. Louis deliberately put on him
the gold standard in opposition to his own
wishes, and in contradiction OF its own
action in former years. But that Demo-
crat should bolt on free silver is something
absolutely without reason.

and the countrymen who tamely submit it to
a yoke more CALLING than King Georges.
The King was man, with soul to be damn
ed, and body to be hanged; but syndica ted
money capital. the "dynasty of modern
times. has no soul nor conscience nor breast
for remorse.
The King Of the London gold trust has taken
the place of King George, and our country is
infested with vast brood of Tories. and 10y
alists, yielding him an abject homage.
The New York State bankers resolved in
convention the other day that there were sixty
m illions of gold money in circulation in the
United States. The declaration is palpably
false. There is no such amount sin circul-
alto ~ unless this new method Of gold min
ing by resolutions of conyentions-can bring
gold, there is no such amount of metallic
money counting both gold and silver, in our
peoples pockets. But assume that the reso-
luton speaks truly; then for our seventy
millions of population we have s. cents OF
metallic money to the head. France has
forty-five dollars, England nineteen dollars,
to the head. Yet the New York State bank
ers make their boastful statement with an air
of reproachful triumph. This is the class OF
men who preach panic as the result of silver
demonstration. These are the lions who do
the betting at the London and New York
stock boards, and.give orders to the press and
TO the host of their proteges in the cities and
small towns of our country as to what these
lGaftter shall say and do Oh the money subject.
It lis lumiliating to our American pride to see
so large and respectable class of our fellow
kI,ai. inin md
even styles of dress from the dudes of the
stock exchanges SO finely distinguished from
interest of mankind by their loud pantaloons
and naustard-seed ideas. 1t is such class OF
tlhe human species who preach panic and re-
9uirethei servants in our cities and towns to
@cho.and aie-echo their notes of ruin in the

Marvel in Mental Arithmetic.

Wolf Bluestine, who died at Hot
Springs recently, came to Orange Il
very poor man in 1876. He began
merchandising, and while here ac-
qulred capital estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000. He could neither
read nor write, yet he was marvel
in mental arithmetic. Fractions ror in
terest had any hard places in them for
him. He offered the principal of the
city schools at this place 500 if he
name within year. The professor
undertook the job and worked with
great energy, but discovered that on
each Monday morning every trace of
the previous weeks work hnd entirely
faded from the mind OF his pupil, and
after five months of close attention to
his undertaking, abandoned it as a
hopeless case. A peculiarly construct
ed "BXX" was the nearest approach
he ever made to penmanship, but thai
signature is attached to many valuable
documents now of record IN this coun-
ty, and has for several years passed
current at the banks in New York
Galveston and Orange. often for large
sums of money. 1t was quite as diff
cult to counterfeit the characters as
affixed by himSas 1t would be to sue
cessfully initiate the signature.--Gal

Wales Not n Fashion Leader.

1t is not true, one now learns, that
the Prince of Wales is the leader Of
fashion. The heir apparent in fact, is
not allowed to be aggressive enough to
be a leader. One of the proofs that he
does not lead fashion is that he wears a
silk hat with sack coat 1t also proves

attention to the dress. Tom fumed as
he noticed that 1t was now 7.45.

voice that was either mufiled by pins
or laughter. Tom couldn't tell which,
for she was STOPPING and studying the

Mr.. Kynaston, the husband of Mrs.
Cranston's bloomer- wearing friend,

"Oh, you dear. good boy" cried
Louise, with well-feigned surprise. go

Then Tom, after kissing her good-by,
rushed off to the club.
Louise put on her bonnet and went to
Mrs. Kynaston's house.

coined her at the door, I'm to have
boomers"
And then she told the story of the
manner in which her husband had been
induced to change his mind.
And she said in conclusions: "I bought
the boomers yesterday, and I'll wear
them tomorrow"
'You really cried, did your" asked
Mrs. Kynaston. 'Well, Lousie, If you

The sudden manner in which the
team that was coming down the road
halted was enough to show that the
driver was surprised at something. He
took his broad-brimmed straw hat off
and waved 1t at man who was work

at the top of his voice:
"S-a-a-y t-h-e-r-e!'
"What do you want?" asked the man
who was working, as he came and lean

She Considered the Lily.

At teachers convention in Detroit
a lady, speaking about the influence of
beautiful objects upon the character and
conduct of young pupils, told pretty
story received by her from an eyewit-
ness:
Into a school made up chiefly of
children from the slums the teacher one
day carried beautiful Gala lily. OF
course the. children gathered about the
pure, waxy blossom in great delight.
lone of them was a little girl, waif
of the streets, who had no care bestowed
upon her, as was evinced by the dirty,
ragged condition she was always in.
Not only was her clothing dreadfully
soiled, but her face and hands seemed
totally unacquainted with soap and wa
ter.
"As this little one drew near the
lovely flower, she suddenly turned and
rsn away down stairs and out of the
building In few minutes she returned
with her hands washed perfectly clean,
and pushed her way up to the flower,
where she stood and admired it with in
tense satisfaction.
"It would seem," continued Miss
Coffin, "that when the child saw the
lily in its white purity, she suddenly
realized that she was not fit to come
into it's atmosphere, and the little thing
fed away to make herself suitable for
such companionship. Did not this have
an elevating, refining effect on the child!
Let us gather all the beauty we can into
the schoolroom. New York Tribune.

Take bearer of message, for in

lowed message, and there's all the poor
