The Great Issue.

But when the issue comes before the
people, what will be the result? Why
should not free silver carry Illinois
Ohio and Indiana? The great major
ity of the people in those States are
agricnlturists and indutrialists. These
classes for the most part believe that
the people have a right to say what
metals they will receive and use as a
medium of exchange, They know that
it is admitted by all intelligent OBJ
servers that more money is needed to
to stimulate industry and to give EN-
ployment to idle labor. They believe
that silver fills the bill. They see in
it the money of the people for the rea-
son that, if restored to its rightful
function, it will expand the cure ney
and in so doing increase the opportun-
tiles and expand the activities of
labor
The prophets have fallen down once
and they may do so again. There is
not the same assured tone about their
utterances now that there was q few
months ago They stammer as they
predict. There is a dropping of the
eye, and mantling blush on the
check as they read aloud the events
of the future. knowing as they do that
the past confounds them There is a
marked impeachment in the oracle's
speech, and the harp is hung upon the
weeping willow.-Memphis CONNER

wOlcott And other Pretended Friends
OF Silver Shown up.

We are sick and tired of such idiots
as Schench and other Colorado gold
miners" who go east and get inter-
viewed and seek to stab silver by
claiming to be for free coink re.
Though am gold miner favor

the dispatches reporting the sayings
of some Judas Iscariot who seeks to ST.

Colorado gold miners are in favor of

/. Hundreds of gold properties are
now being worked that were abandon
ed 30 years ago as Improbable.
These mines are worked to-day be-
cause, through the demonstration of
silver, wages and supplies have be-
come so-cheap that the cost of operat-
.ng them is under the output of the
mine and consequently the mine is un-
profitable.
Let silver be remonetized and labor
and the supplies Unnecessary to operate
these mines woulk go up again, and as
they climbed up the profits of the gold
output would go down. Everybody in
Colorado knows this, and we venture to
say right here that 80 per cent of the
mine owners of Colorado are at heart
goldbugs, and are goldbugs because
they know free silver would DESTROY
their mining properties. 1t is well
known fact that the mine owners, as a
class, do not donate to the silver cam
paign fund, and their failure to do SO
can be attributed to only one condition
i. e., these mine owners know which
side of their bread is buttered and don't
propose to injure themselves There
are very few cases on record where
these men have contributed insignifi-
can't amounts to the cause, but we ven
ture to say that if the truth were
known they contributed their money
as blind to keep the Colorado people
off their necks, while they donated Sc
crctly to the gold campaign fund.
There isn't half a dozen solvent silver
mine owners in the state of Col
orado, and with all they have contrib
nted toward the silver propaganda it
would hardly amount to SIS, 900 since
1873. The silver barons of Colorado"
are bankrupt The gold barons, led
on by Edward o. Walcott and his hosts
Of bctrayers, we notice have plenty of
money, but we fail utterly to locate
names as contributors to silver cam
paign fund. They even go SO far as to
openly espouse Mckinley and the gold
crowd and make no deniaal of helping
The Wall street gang.
What applies to Colorado applies to
Nevada, Utah and New Mexico, and it
is safe to say the large majority of
mine owners in Colorado and the other
silver states are goldbugs of the purest
-ay serene.
1t is time to show these fellows up
N their true light, and The New Road
has no hesitency IN saying the whole
outfit are traitors posing as silver pa
triots. The people will attend to their
case later on, you may rest assured. -

A Mountain Climbing Ra,,,..a

One OF the most recently opened
mountain railways in Switzerland is
the Stanserhorn road, which is one of
particular interest. The road is con-
structed in three parts, each at an an

ing in some instances as high as 60
degrees. Each incline is operated by
cables. driven by independent electric
hosting engines. The current to on
crate the electric hoists is generated
by dynamos located some five miles
distant, and driven by turbines actual
ed by the mountain torrent The plant
also supplies light to the hotels and

The yellow shIr. v, sn,,,ro..

A hint comes from India, which is
worth using when the hot summer DAYS
are upon US. Lassitude and loss of
appetite are among the first evidences
or the effect Of the suns heat upon the
body, and in hot weather many per-
sons who have never had sunstroke
are debilitated by what may fairly be
called sun fatigue, which, although not
serious, renders work of every kind
more laborious than it would other
wise be. The influence of the sun va
ries enormously on different indiyidu-
ais, some of whom have to take special
precautions in order to be able to resist
1t. A spinal pad is used by soldiers in
many tropical countries. It arrests the
light, which often works such injury.
but is uncomfortably hot.
According to royal engineer, who ia
stationed in India, the boon and bless
ing beyond compare to those who have
to spend part of their lives under a
tropical sunlight is an orange colored
shirt. He declared that he frequently
fell sick after duty in the sun. until
he treated himself as a Photographic
sensitive plate, and surrounded his
body with yellow light. All clothing.
however thick, allows certain rays to
pass. and although tn X clothing would
arrest all the injurious elements of
sunlight, it would interfere with the
escape of bodily heat. The yellow shirt,
for sensitive people who are much in
hot sunlight, is an excellent protec-
ton only inferior to that simplest and
best OF all Indian protectives, a white
umbrella, which has not yet been ac-
climated in this CONTEMPLATING
Dispatch.

There L. n Degree OF Physical Wsarlnesy
Which 10 Dangerous.
Fatigue is the natural result Of labor
and as such is a periodic symptom with
which every healthy person is familiar,
says the Youths Companion. It is one
of the laws of organic life that periods
of relaxation shall succeed periods Of
activity. The heart itself il normally
in repose for about one-third OF the
time consumed by each beat-a fact in
which there is something particularly
suggestive and interesting, since physi-
elogists agree that about ons-third of
the twenty-four should be devoted to
sleep. Life is made up of a series of
vibrations in which tension and rest
succeed each other. The heart vibrates
about seventy times minute; the vi
brations OF the respiratory organs oc-
cur about sixteen times in the same
period; while the vibrations Of the
whole organism may be said to COM
plete their circle once in twenty-four
hours. Abnormal fatigue, a state ap-
preaching exhaustion, occurs when one
attempts to alter natures rhythm.
when the hours of tension are made to
encroach upon those which should be
devoted to rest. when muscle and nerve
already fatigued are driven to further
exertion. Fatigue OF kind known as
entertaining results, in the case of the
athlete, in heart weakness and short
ness Of breath-''loss OF wind" as ii il
called; while the long-continued fatigue
ocoasioned by excessive application to
professional or business pursuits re-
suits in nervous prostration or even in
paralysis. While excessive fatigue is
in itself unwise, one Of the chief dan
gers which result from it is that COM
monty indicated by the term Catching
cold" Thus the danger OF sitting in
draft or on the damp ground is many
times doubled after great exertion. The
application OF heat to the surface is q
more logical procedure after extreme
fatigue. Loss of sleep is one OF the first
symptoms of abnormal fatigue. Ha-
bitual insomnia from this cause is to
DO treated in only one way, by absoluta
rest.
