The following is an editorial from the London Financial Neus (gold- bug).
 "There is q plain moral in the re- mark Chat fl the United States would venture to cut herself adrift from Europe and take outright to silver she would have all America and Asia at her back and the com mand of the markets of both coun- tries. The barrier of gold would be more fatal than any barrier of a custom house. The bond of silver would be stronger than any bond of free trade. There can be no doubt about it that if the United States were 10 adopt silver basis tomor- row British trade would be ruined before the year was out. Every American would be protected, not only at home, but in every other market. Of course the United States would suffer to certain ex- tent through having to pay her obli- gations abroad in gold, but the loss of exchange under this head would be mere drop in the bucket as compared to the profit to be reaped from the markets of South America and Asia, 10 say nothing of Europe, the marvel is that the United States have not long ago seized the oppor- tunity. It has been a piece of luck

The Kansas City Horse Show.

KANSAS OITY, Aug l8.-At the aue- ton sale of boxes for the second annual horse show, to be held at Fairmont Park in September, an average of over Sl00 was obtained. Among the buyers were A. Stansbury and W. s. Taylor, both of Philadelphia. The show, which has become an established institqtion in Kansas Oity, bids fair to eclipse any like event held in the southwest. Much preparation is being made for the show and already many yaulable horses and turnouts, both from this and outside cit ies, have been entered.

THE SOUTH REMEMBERS.

Southern men who are thinking of voting for Mckinley should remem- Der that he stands for the force bill and all that infamous measure inn plies
 Should Mr. Mckinley be elected president he is pledged no less to the enactment of the force bill, than to the maintainanee of gold standard and high protection,
 If Mr. Mckinley is the author of the Mckinley tariff, then he is also the author of the force bill. He was the leader of the republican party, in Congress when the house passed the force bill. If his party credits him with the Mckinley tariff and nominates him for the presi- dency, because of his advocacy of high protection he and his pa, ty must also take the responsibility and discredit for the force bill, which in the language of Senator Miller, is the emostinfamous measure that ever crossed the threshold of the United States Senate.
 We are sure that no southern Democrat who remembers the infa- mics and the horrors of reconstruc- tion, needs to be reminded that Major Mckinley is no more pledged to gold and high protection than he is to force and violence in dealing with the elective franchise and the principle of home rule in the south ern States.

Ancestors Were Taught.
What are reading boardsf'' Not many
,eople know. Two of them were recently

A century or two ago books were much
scarcer than now. Schoolbooks were not
given to children, but they were taught
from reading boards. Our grandfathers
and grandmothers and their progenitors
learned TO read from these boards, and
they got in the same way their first lessons
In history and natural science.
There are couple of these queer old
boards among the ouriosities at Erasmus
Hall, Flatbush. They are of pine and
about - by Q inches When found re
Gently, papers were pasted upon them con"
tanning the daily or weekly lesson. They
used to be hung up In front Of the whole
class, and from these the teacher gave her
pupils their lessons.

They are split and worm eaten, and their

Lying Out - CtSSos
There died in Paris q few years ago
an eccentric individual, one Count Ma
poleon Bertrand, son of the companion
of the great Napoleon at st. Helena.
His eccentricity at times drove him to
such extremities that he was often the
subject of ridicule.
One of his most curious actions was
practice which he annually observed OF
hiring a room in hotel and going to
bed for three months, having previously
given instructions for food to LIE brought
him once day, and that not word
was to be spoken by his servant. Dur
ing the siege of Paris he was lodging at
his hotel.
One day the bread served him was OF
such a bad quality that he grew qulte
angry, and forced his servant to tell HIM
the reason, which of course was that
the city was besieged by the German
army. The count was momentariiy
stupefied. He got up. aud for some time
wandered about the hotel. saying TO
himself: Paris bcsieged-besiegedf
