THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

When the Democrats of Wyoming in
convention assembled declared that
1.-THE paramount issue before the Ameri-
can people is the currency question. -
they simply declared the truth in terse
and unmistakable terms. The currency
issue is the paramount question before
the American people today and none
other can be made to take precedence
over it. Attempts have been made to
make the tariff the leading issue but
they have all failed. 1t is useless to
try and make that first as an issue
which is not first in the minds of the
people.
Comptroller Eckels, who has just re
turned to Washington from a campaign
in behalf of sound money" in Illinois,
says There is no question that the
financial question is the paramount is
sue to the exclusion of the tariff and
this will be demonstrated more and
gresses.'
This will certainly be the case Plat
forms may try and force issues but
they cannot succeed in downing this
one great question of money. For a
year or more past the one leading
theme that the people of the country
have discussed has been money, the
question of the gold standard or free
coinage. The agitation of the ques-
ton has become intense beyond all
SO intense that it must be
decided in the ensuing campaign. And
when it is decided i will not be a
measure, which would only
serve to breed more agitation for the
future of the same issue.
The Democrats of Wyoming are right
when they say that the financial ques-
ton is the paramount issue before the
American people today. II will con-
tinue to be until finally settled. There
is no use in trying to dodge this fact,
for it cannot be lodged.

Published in Athens as interest
ing Facts.

That the personalities of the contestants
in the recent international athletic events
IN the stadium near Athens attracted most
earnest attention is evident from the re-
ports in Greek newspapers that have
reached here. One of these, the City, in
the issues of March 81 and April Z, has
many short paragraphs that a bank presi-
dent IN this city who is proficient in mod
ern Greek has translated literally. The
writer apparently was not well informed
OF track customs in this country, and he
evidently passed some hours in collect
ing information from the barbarans, the
quality of the facts obtained being pro-
porttoned to the sense of humor in the
contestant questioned. OF the custom of
picking up a contestant and carrying him
to his quarters, the writer says:
The feet of one of the American run
ners are most strange. They have bun
ions, small and large, and all the muscles
stand out most tremendously. After a
run two lift him up and carry him to the
dressing room, because he cannot walk"
The writer next chronicles this as evil
dence of Connelly's reliance on super
natural aid:
The American athletes, and especially
Connolly, pray before beginning his game,
He covers his face with the hands and re-
cites some American invocations."
Credit is given to the medicinal qualities
of chewing gum in this way:
The American runners have the foot of
a hare, and when about to run they mur-
muir something ana then enter the con-
test Two of them continually chew pitch.
This strengthens the lungs.
The climax was reached, however, in
this:
One of the Americans. being asked
whether he had done much running, re-
piled: I have come from America TO
England on foot four times'"
The college cries elected this comment:
THE shouts of the Americans are most
extraordinary and unintelligible Every
n inn l,r-N, ,t~, 49,
cry. Even the Greeks initiated this
strange custom. When the peasant Loues
from the village of Marousi, was an
nounced as victor of the Marathon race,
this shout was raised: Ma. ma, me! Rou
rou, rou! ST, ST. sill Hollas! Fetal"
The Greek reporter adds:
"A German photographer, who takes
pictures especially of athletic events, says
that though the Americans are winners,

FROM THE D1yAN OFF HAFEz.

A Hower-tinted cheek, the flowery close
OF the fair earth-these are enough for
mel
Enough that in the meadow wanes and
grows
The shadow of a graceful cypress tree
| am no comrade to Hypocrisy
Or all the treasures that the world can
boast
This is enough for me.
To them that here renowned for virtue
A heavenly palace is the meet reward,
To me, the drunkard and the beggar,
give
The temple of the grape with red wine
storedi
Beside a. river seat thee on the sward,
It fioweth past-so flows thy life away;
SO, sweetly, swiftly, fleets our little day,
Swift, vet enough for me!
Look upon all the ,sold I'M the worlds
On all the tears the world hath shed in
vain;
| have enough of loss, enough of gain;
| have my love-what more can 1 OBJ
tain?
Mine is the joy of her companionship
whose healing lip is laid upon my lip;
This is enough for me.
I pray thee send not forth thy naked soul
From its poor house to seek for Para
disc,
Though heaven and earth before me
God unroll,
Back to thy village still my spirit flies
on Hafez, at the door of Kismet lies
No just complaints mind like water
clear,
A song that swells and dies upon the
ear.
These are enough for theel

In her paper read before the State

Lillian V. Rancke said: LET our Sun

That is excellent advice. The selec-
ton of books for children is too often
made on the theory that they should
have nothing but the Mandy pamby.

are known as children's books. the

them to have viriIe fntelIects and good

TALES OF THE DAY.
Bad Example.

1t was quite late To the young woman
1t seemed very late; to the young man it
apparently did not seem late at all; the
little clock on the mantle had no opinion
on the matter, having stopped.
They talked about religion and then
about theosophy. out of doors the night
was growing stiller and stiller. If it
had been in the country and in summer,
they would have heard the cTickets and an
occasional boot owl.
Presently there was pause. The step
OF man on the sidewalk, evidently hur-
rying homeward sounded loudly as
though there were no other man walking
i'll all the world.
The young man arose.
i wonder what time it is?" he said.
Then, as he came nearer the time
piece, he added: Why, the clock isn't
going!
The young woman arose also.

wrecks itself no one will regret it,
while such wreck would be gain
rather than a loss to the country.
