PITTSBURG, Sept. 2sAJoshua lowering,
Prohibition candidate for President. ar
rived in Pittsburg this morning. Speaking
of the outlook. Mr.. lowering said McKin-

In the East said he, where the electora.
college has so many votes, the Mckinley
sentiment is strong, while i'll the West the
Bryan people claim to be uppermost'
Notwithstanding the free-silver detection,
Mr.. lowering thought the Prohibitionists
would poll 900 more votes than in 1892
In a speech at Carnegie Hall, Allegheny
tonight, Mr.. lowering said in part: LAS

party has nothing to do with a mans hab-

public policy. The principle of prohibition
is as old as order itself. 1t is the basis of
law Individual right and liberty must give
way to those of public good Apply this
the liquor traffic embodied in the saloon
and the question is one of easy solution.
Is this saloon nuiSance?5 Does anyone
doubt that it is? Holding this view there
fore, that the saloon is nuisance the Pre-
hibition party firmly insists that the same
principle shall be applied to it is applied
to other nuisances. and demands that it
should be abolished. But some say you
cannot make men moral by law The Pro-
holds no such views. 1t simply holds that
the saloon is stumbling block over which
men and women are stumbling by he thou
sands every year. But another objecter
rises and says: oh, you cannot enforce
rrohibitory laws Listen to this letter from
Mr.. Roosevelt, written to a gentleman in
California and dated June 6. 1896: The Sun
day law has been absolutely enforced for
the past year in New York 1t is perfectly
possible to enforce the law if the city Off

the government paid last year half
million dollars. \ great diversity of crafts
and industries are the outgrowth of ad-
vanced civilization. The reports from In
dian agents he says show that Indians
in many different ways are coming to earn
their living. They raise supplies for the
government, raise crops to sell. raise and
sell live stock. work in the woods and
irrigation bitches and in many minor ways
contribute to their own subsistence.
The entire Indian service with few ex
ceptions is now under civil-Seryice regula-
lions. Exceptions ere made TO Indians
who employed under noncompetitive
examinations. Progress in educating the
Indians is reported very satisfactory in
spite of many difficulties encountered: The
enrolment during the year was % 332, an
increase of 315 over the previous year. The
duction of the number of contract schools
has been made in accordance with pro-
visions of the last Indian appropriation bill
and in 1897 there will be expenditure of
$257. 928 on this account, against $4,000 this
year
The Commissioner urges the passage of
the bill now pending in Congress to pro-
hibit the sale of lqlrer to Indians who have
become citizens. He says the correspond
ence in his office shows that the Indians
in the West and Northwest who have re-
ceived allotmentS are becoming democrat
lied by the liquor traffic.

DURABILITY OF GOLD.
1t Resists Wear and COrrosiOn Better
than Any Metal.


Sound money means actual value, actual
payment. All other money is a promise to
give value or promise to pay The one is
something done, the other something to be
done. One is a fact. the other a fiction.
Everybody knows, or ought to know, that
it does not make the slightest difference in
coined or not. The only advantage of coin
ing is that we know thereby the exact fine
ness of the metal. 1t is very simple mat
ter to determine the fineness of gold coin.
A pair of fine balances and jar of water
will enable any person to obtain its exact
specific gravity, and from this any school
boy can figure out its fineness. We are
saved the trouble of this experiment by the
stamp of the government.
Each government employs its own alloy
or particular fneness. so that when we re-
ceive a coin we know exactly how many

If the gold be melted the coin has van

In the East river. at New York. not many
years ago, there was recovered some gold
coin that went down in the British frig-

the brass, had attacked and destroyed the

In ancient times 200 governments coined
money. We know the coins they struck off
and the materials they employed In our
museums we have nearly every gold coin
represented. The silver brass and copper
coins were hundred times as numerous
in those past ages. but to-day hardly one

Very different is the case with silver.
Like gold. ii is also alleged. In general
the larger pieces are the purest. while the
subsidiary pieces. which do all the hard

more base metal TO stand wear and tear.
Thus two half dollars or four quarter dol

not contain much silver as one dollar.
That is the rule in our own land. and il is
also the rule in nearly every civilized

many years must be to put the Indian upon
