The Hon. ". Coin Harvey Of Chicago
and elsewhere has formed Il new secret
order which he calls the Patriots of
America The particular kind Of pa
triotism which the Honorable Tenn
porary Grand Patriot Harvey" proposes
to teach is hatred Of property rights,
greed for the wealth honestly accumu-
lated by men Of ability and industry,
disregard Of the teachings Of history
and devotion to the selfish interests Of a
few silver bullion owners.
Along with these grand and glorious
principles there VIII 60 a finely en-
graved certificate Of membership in
the noble army Of 1G to l patriots
and an annual assessment for the good
of those most concerned. Together with
the Secret Society Of Silver Knights
and the Cory Gang Of Goldbug Squash
ers these bogus patriots should cause
the tyrants Of Wall street to tremble in
their guilty shoes. Great is the power
of humbug and greater still the cheek
of the men who claim that they are pa
triots because they shout for a currency
scheme which means national dishonor.

Where Can Money BE Borrowed cheapests

Silverites who are bowling that the
robber goldbugs have conspired to
charge high rates Of interest ON their
loans should inform themselves on the
question on which they presume TO
speak If they We're intelligent, they
would know that interest is far lower
in gold standard countries than in those
countries where silver is used. Compare
the United States, Germany or Great
Britain with India, China or Mexico.
In each and all Of the silver standard
countries interest is much higher than
in the gold basis nations. If free silver
will lower interest, why does it not do
so in Japan or Mexico?

Sometimes such conduct is due to ig-

often, when there Is no desire on the
part OF the Englishman to draw atten-

opinion. IT Is due to British pride. which
refuses to alter Its 10 suit the

Begging Through the Window.


The New York newsboy and the New
York beggar are not slow 10 discover
an opportunity, says the \. Y. Herald
of that town.
The cafes and restaurants of many of
the Broadway hotels are so situated that
the tables nearest the Broadway side OF
the establishment are easily approached
by persons in the street. i sat at one
of these tables the other night enjoying
the cool breeze that came through the
open window and putting m aftey-din-
ner cigar. Half a loaf of bread lay up
on a plate before me, a portion OF the
debris of my finished meal.
A voice out Of the darkness startled
me. 1t was a hoarse, hungry, sup
pressed voice. Hi, mister. won't yer
please gimme dat bit o bread?' said
the voice. in a stealthy sort of stage
whisper.
Then the pinched face of a boy be-
came visible in the light that shone
from the brilliantly illuminated res
tsurant. IL was a hungry face as
well AS a hungry voice. slipped the
bread ont TO the lIl, and he scurried
away. just As the head waiter caught
sight of the face at the window and
started toward my table t~hreateningiy.
l had scarcely laid down my evening
paper and resumed my cigar when there
came the second appeal out of the semi
darkness of the street. and. CHANGING

l gave up the newspaper as willingly
as l had given up the bread. and then

which l had been subjected. and which

SAVING THE SCRAPS.
An Economy that Has Become Common
Among Restaurant Habitues.

"You would be surprised. said a on
idential restaurant keeper, AT the
growing number Of my customers who
carry off with them portions Of their
unfinished meals. Three or four years
ago the only person that used DO to this
was an old French lady, who always
used two of three Jumps of sugar that
we used to serve with n cup OF coffee
and pocket the third. The mex person |
noticed doing anything of the sort was
a young man who ate two out OF his
three rolls, and, after looking a little
shame facedly round the restaurant,
reached up and dropped the third roll
into his oyercoat pocket. The follow
ing morning he did the same thing, aud
now he always does it, and does il, too,
as a matter Of course.
Both Of these little tricks. you will
observe, were at breakfast, and !
thought the explanation OF them was
easy. / knew it was the custom in
France TO pocket the unused sugar. and
| imagined the young nan was 4 clerk
in an office and used to eat the third roll
during the morning or for lunch. But
during the past year or so l have given
up seeking for explanations of a habit
that has become common. any eNplaua-
ton, | mean, except that Of hard times,
for now it is done right aud left and at
every meal. Why. sir. you'd be amused
or saddened, | don't know which. to see
the matter-of-fact way in which parts OF
a meal are saved. Some customegs
bring little handbags scvtA. -Orhers use
! vred paper, and wrap up the fag end
of a steak or part OF a bird. and others,
again. make neat little parcels Of their
leftover bread and butter. 1t was only
yesterday that | saw one Young woman
at lunch bring a small bottle out of her
pocket and pour into il the milk she
had not used in her tea.
"Of course | can't object TO the prac-
tice, and | don't know that / would if !
could. The customer pays for what he
is served with, and il doesn'tmu mat
ter 10 me whether it Is eaten here at my
tables or taken home by my customers
TO be eaten at theirs. Indirectly. Of
course, it affects me, because il means
that there is n great and prevailing
spirit of economy abroad, and if the
saved scraps from breakfast here can
be made to do duty for or help out q
lunch, why. naturally, ! or some other
restaurant man loses the profit on that
lunch. Any way its a phase of the in
fuence Of bard times that | haven't
seen noticed or commented upon."-N.
