ing between two opinions
With an old friend like you and a
brother democrat in whose democracy l
have the utmost confidence l can not
close this letter without few words on
the existing political situation. The
Chicago convention was regularly called
and regularly held. Its delegates were
commissioned by the members OF our
party to give expression to the will and
wishes OF the democrats OF our country.
All democratic delegates remained in the
convention. The platform in several i'm.
portsnt particulars is not acceptable to
me, but it was adopted by q regularly
constituted democratic convention and
the ticket was regularly nominated &C
cording to the usaees OF our arty. 1t is
a time honored rule in our party, which
bias been the basis OF our success as we'll
as our strength, that the will OF the ma
jority in convention expressed shall de-
termine the principles and policies OF our
party. The candidates nominated and
the platform adopted more nearly ex.
press my views on public questions than
the candidates nominated and the plat
form adopted by the republican party.
Democracy means more than the money
question. 1t embraces all OF the great
principles written by Thomas Jefferson
in the beginning Of the present century,
when our party was organized. l can
not now even il am not entirely salts
fed leave the democratic party which l
have loved and worked for all my life
and which has honored me for 20 years.
| can do more good for my country and
also for democracy by remaining in the
ranks, consulting in it's councils and
fighting under it's banner than l can on
the outside, and shall remain in line and
support the nominees OF the Chicago Ma
tionsl democratic convention.

A countryman of Goethe gives an in

with the English language. He was in

saying something in a very pleasant

sense that the word blooming" is used
in German, as being something very
charming and beautiful, little knowing
what havoc slang has played with the
word in English. He was absolutely at

feeling that the day had not been prop

the time should come when l would pe

Again my plans were changed, this
time through no agency of mine, for as

charming little carriage my friend
Knowles, who, seeing me, reined in and
said: Here, old man, let me drive you
home. Jump in here. l won't take
No for an answer" So got in beside
him and we rode homeward by another
route.
"Old boy" said Knowles, 'you are not
looking yourself; what's the matter

mo, guess not" replied, anyway
l have no reason to be; l don't know
any of the girls in the Office, not even the
typewriter girl, and the only ones l
meet during the day are the walters;
but am not in love with them"
You speak as though there was
bare possibility of your being in love
after all; now what and who is it? Tell
me about it. A fault confessed is half
redressed, and in this case you may feel
easier if you have some one to tell it to,
and to talk with about her.

She is beautiful of form and face, and
though have not been very near her,
nor heard her speak, still, believe L
can see in her face her whole character,
and 1 believe she is beautiful woman
in every sense of the word"

"In Palmer's."
"Palmer's. Where's that? Not the
ladies' tailor, is ft?" he exclaimed, in
some surprise.
"Yes, l began to think she works
there; but that don't make any diff
ference, does it?'

honor. The nation owes what it has

I cannot approve bill which in my
Judgment authorizes the violation of
sacred obligations. The obligation OF
the public faith transcends all ques-
tions of profit or public advantage. It's
unquestionable maintenance is the die
tate as well of the highest expediency
as of the most necessary duty and should
be ever carefully guarded by the execu'
tive, by congress and by the people"
He closed his message by saying that
at is my firm conviction that if the
country is to be benefited by silver
coinage it can be done only by the issue
of silver dollars of full value, which
will defraud no man. A currency worth
less than it purports to be worth will
in the end defraud not only creditors.

Murder Mystery.

Murder Mystery.
Chicago had chief of detectives 10 or
16 years ago who compared, in respects,
with the best European talent. lie alu
| some work which, for neatness ana
adroit application, was equal to any
that Gaboriau invented. have In mlnd
now murder case in which he figured.
Some unknown person had shot farm
err, living a few miles out OF Chicago,
through the heart. The murder hap
pened in the dead Of aight, and the VIC
tim was decoyed out tse the house to
meet his death.
The farmers wife was suspected OF be-
ing a trifle too fond of dull-witted farm
hand who had been discharged by the
dead man, and was then working IN
Chicago. This fellow was promptly
placed under arrest. A pawn ticket for
revolver was found in his'pocket. 1t
was cheap weapon, and very little sig
nificance was attached to the fact that
the man should have owned it and
pawned it at that particular time. He
gave reasonable account of his move
ments on the night of the crime, and the
murdered mans wife was firm in her
protestations that she had not seen him
for weeks.
During the inquest, however, the de-
tectives observed that the bullet which
came out of the dead mans heart was
marked in peculiar way 1t had
scratches on one side, as though there
were defects in the pistol from which
it was fired. Examination OF the re-
volver found in the pawn shop showed
two spots of rust in the chamber near
the muzzle. The detectives fired the
weapon three times into barrel of
water, and the balls were marked ex-
actly like the bullet that killed the
farmer. A number of other pistols OF
the same make and calibeG were OBJ
tanned and subjected to the same test,
but none of the other bullets were
marked in the same manner as those
from the farm hands pistol. 1t APP
peared, therefore, that the latter weap-
on had been used in killing the man,
but, while the detective skill that dis
covered this damaging fact was loudly
extolled, shrewd lawyers got hold of the
case for the defense and succeeded in
getting the man cquitted.-Chicago

after hearing all the pros and cons,

evil in the world-in fact, that women
were worse than men," One of the

Decided by Jury.

~ 1t is not uncommon for an English
Judge to try 80 raise laugh-and,
strange to say, he usually succeeds
By affecting an infantile ignorance Of
all things but purely judicial matters.
Judge Henry Hawkins not long ago
asked in court: what is hay?"
A correspondent says that in a recent
libel suit strange affectation of ju-
dicial ignorance was evinced by Lord
russell. Sir Edward Clarke read from
book of the plaintiffs a description
of Chopin's "umber-shaded head"
what shade?' asked Lord Russell.
"Umber," replied Sir Edward.
Eyes, but what is that?" persisted
the chief justice.
At this point the feelings of the jury
were too much for them. With a.unan-
unity reminiscent of the Pirates of
Penzance," they chanted in expostula
tory chorus: Brown, my lord,
brown" and the trial went on.-Phil-

no diversion that would direct my
thoughts to other things. tried tIl'
theater, hut that proved fruitless, for
constantly scanned the audience to see
if I could discover her face, and when
the curtain rose looked as eagerly
among the players.
One evening, as / was looking at the
performers, by some unaccountable at
traction, my sight was drawn to one
Young woman. who, in playing sub

fitting suit of brown. What was 1t that

one morning in Palmer's window, as
passed. Could it be that had found
her at last! The face did not seem quite
the same, but the dress could swear to.
This increased the mystery. But l
would solve it soon.
AS soon as the performance was over
I went to the stage door where all the
participants of the evening would leave
the theater. 1 waited on the opposite
side of the street for her to appear. l
crossed and stood under the lamp that
lighted the sidewalk dimly around the
door. One or two who l was almost
sure were she passed out into the wait
ing hacks, but still did not feel fully
satisfied. 1t was growing very late
and 1 was chilly from the damp air
that was drifting in from the harbor.
Presently the janitor came and turned
out the light and all was darkness. The
last hack had rolled away some mill
utes before-evidently all were out who
went that way--and, foiled in .ry
search, turned homeward once more.
The next day felt angry with her;
angry for no cause of hers, but angry
because I had been prevented from
meeting her. I did not care to hang
about Palmer's, nor did I have any ex-
cuse to take me in there. / thought, /
will not go by Palmer's this morning;
I will not look for her face; i will stop

That morning went to my work by
another route. | saw new things and
met new faces, and arrived at my office
without having once thought of her.

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
why President Hayes. In 1878, Vetoed. the
standard silver Dollar Coinage Act.

Why President Hayes In 1878, vetoed. the
Standard silver Dollar Coinage Act.
President Hayes believed that our ma
tional homer could not be too jealousy
guarded. In this he differed radically
from our sixteen to one statesmen, who
are anxious not only to see our govern
ment repudiate one-half of its debts
but to see one-half of all debts repudi-
ated. 1t might be well for these hasty
statesmen to ponder some OF Hayes
reasons for vctoing the act (passed over
his head) to coin and make legal ten
der silver dollars worth, in, gold, only
90 to.a2 cents He said that "the right
to pay duties in silver or in silver Ger
tificates for silver deposits will, when
they are issued in sufficient amount
to circulate, put an end to the receipt
of revenue in gold, and thus compel the
payment of silver for both the prin-
cipal and interest of the public debt"
He raid that nearly $600,000,00o of
the funded debt then outstanding was
issued since 1873, when gold alone was
the coin for which the bonds were sold.
and gold alone was the coin in which
both parties to the contract understood
that the bonds would be paid" These
bonds" he continues, entered into the
markets of the world. They were paid
for in gold when silver had greatly de
preciated and when no one would have
bought them if it had been understood
that they would be paid in silver"
He believed that, in the judgment Of
mankind, it would be an act of bad faith
not to guarantee that pre-existing debts
should be paid in as good money as was
legal tender when these debts were con
tracted-in other words, that the gov
eminent should not legalize the break
ing of contracts. "The standard of val
ue," he said, Should not be changed
without the consent of both parties to
the contract. National promises should
be kept with unflinching fidelity. There

Notthe People,s Money.

The fat-money advocates are very in
consistent in that they oppose the re-
tirement of the greenbacks because
they are "the peoples money" and at
the same time protest against the bond
issues by which the treasury reserve is
maintained. For it is the greenbacks
that are used by the wicked bankers
and brokers to draw gold out of the
treasury, thus making bond sales nee
essary. If there were no greenbaclSs
the government could not be compelled
to furnish gold on demand. So long as
there are $346, 00O, 900 demand notes out
standing it will be necessary to buy
gold in which to redeem them when
they are presented at the treasury. The
so-called peoples money" is proving
very expensive to the people who pay
the taxes which go to pay interest on
gold bonds.
