was called upon to cleanse q child for a
lamb. What the cleansing was / know
not.
Cows and bulls circulated all over
Asia and all through what is now Eu-
rope, away mp among the Parthians and
over among the Gauls even in Ireland.
Asses were good money, and the asses
carried the other goods that people
traded in when they were trained to it.
Cows and bulls kepx the money in cir
culation--plenty of it.
Our farmers had better take this mat
ter up and get Uncle Sam to stamp all
the calves as well as the coins Stamp
the calves nj quarter of cow, stamp
heifer at half cow and 2-year-old
"beef critter" as full unit or standard
Of value, good as gold. Certificates could
be issued fer the whole lot and they
would all Dc legal tender. What true
money system that would be, 10 be sure!
Who wants Eng gold or silver when he
can get COW money and ass money and
whisky money for small change?
Whisky can be easily divided into
small parcels and certificates issued--a
half gill for n nickel, one gill for a
dime, one lamb certificate for 81, one
sheep certificate for SO; one calf, SO; u
l-year-old, $40, and 2-yearold beef
critter," $50, full standard unit of
value.
Then the hens could come in to sup
ply small change. Why not? A one egg
certificate in place of cent.
Would not that give tho Populist
farmers all they want--a kii,l of mon
ey and all they want Of it based On
their own crops? Would not everything
be lovely? The great farming interests
of the country would be promoted.
There would be a full and abundant
supply of money, How much per cap
ita? They say they want fifty dollars
$500 per head. How would certificates
for 2 gallons of whisky year, 100
eggs, calves and cows suit?
There would have TO be one ass per
capita to carry the, burden. Such sup
ply would cnablo everybody 10 get all
that kind of money that he wanted.
There would be no moro abuse of gold
bugs or silver cranks, and we might
have rest from all our money troubles.
The more this plan is considered the
more think il will be admired. Cow
money is the oldest standard or unit of
value that we know anything about. 1t
was not until after the pestilent inven-
tion of coinage that COW money was de-
monetiZed.
That crime has never been traced to
the wretohes who committed il. We
know that Senator Stewart and other
members Of the house and the senate
committed the crime of 1878 against
silver, but the crime against cow money
ought TO be brought into court and its
nefarious promoters placed at the bar OF
justice and put into contempt for all
time to come. EDWARD ATKINSON.

when Messrs Frank b. Congor and Perry
Carson Were delegates to the rational re-
publican convention, Mr.. ConGer happened
tc he temporarily absent from the hall
when the District of Columbia was called,
and Col. Carson promptly arose and NOM
mated himself. On the return of Mr.. Con-
ger he attempted to get a reconsideration,
hut was ruled out OF order. The next DEM
ocratic delegation to Chicago, however. will
consist of SIN members, and ma jority will
be able to name the national committee
men. So far as can be learned. none of the
prominent candidates for the honors have
expressed any preference on this subject,
and from a dispassionate view of the sit
uation, none of them will go pledged TO any
one man. They may agree upon some
democrat III the District not a member of
the delegation, or. if there is any great
contest, as is expected, among the now
quiescent leaders over the subject some
individual member OF the delegation
may be selected. 1t does not seem possible,
however, at this time for any one man to
command the power necessary to control
the local convention and dictate the plans
Of the delegates to Chicago. But there is
mighty thinking going all the time
Mr.. VIM. r. Hart, who was recently NAM
ed as a probable candidate for the local
convention from the twenty-second district,
should have Deen credited to the twenty
first district. 1t is regarded as a foreyons
conclusion that he will be elected.

cALvE THEIR IDOL.
Opera Lovers Hail Her as
the Queen of SONG.
Her Success as Carmen" Eclipsed
by the New "Navarraise."
How the Great Singer Practices and Works
Her Diet Simple.

The idol of opera lovers this year
is Emma Calve.
No singer ever possessed the fire
OF dramatic art to the extent which
she possesses it, and none has ever
taken greater hold upon the hearts
OF the American public.
Wherever Calve has appeared her
audiences have gone wild with de-
light over her performance. AS Car
men she has immortalized herself.
She will be seen this season in other
roles, for her genius by no means
limits her in this respect, and her adj
mirers will be treated this season to
what critics declare is her greatest
creation, the leading role in The
Navarraise."
There is something so magnetic
about Calve that one cannot help but
admire her from the moment she
comes upon the stage. She is a born
actress. Mile. Calve is French by
birth, her mother being Partisan,
although her father, civil engineer,
was of Spanish ancestry. She has five
sisters, all of whom are said to be
beautiful. She had no idea of follow
ing music until the death of her
father, which occurred when she was
about 10. Her girlhood had been
spent in a convent.
She made her debut as a singer at
the Theater de la Monnaie in Brus-
sells, in 1882, where she essaved the
part of Marguerite in Faust and
achieved marked success.
On the days Calve sings she break
lasts at 10 am. Underdone broiled
meat and little wine goes with the
repast. At 3 pm. she dimes, again
on UNDERGONE meat roasted, and usu-
ally 6 lass of champagne. Wine she
considers good for the voice in mod
crate quantity. Nothing must TOUGH
her lips from the 3 o'clock dinner be-
fore she sings, except little beaten
egg and some of JOHANN
HOFF'S GENUINE MALT EX-
TRACT, taken just before going on.
She may also take a few sips of the
extract in the entr 'acte, but no solid
food until her return from the opera.
/ OF the famous extract which sus-
tains her during her trying work be-
fore the footlisllts she writes as fol-
lows: THE JOHANN HOFF'S
GENUINE MALT EXTRACT has
done wonders for me. use it con-
stantly, and find myself much bene-
flied thereby. 1t aids digestion,
tones the system, and makes ME
strong enough to stand the great
nervous strain occasioned by my pro-
iessional duties"

LONDON.S LEADING TOPIC.
Mr.. BalfOur's Suppression Of the vene.
xuelan Discussion.

Mr. BalfOur's Suppression of the Sene.
Huelan Discussion.
The Venezuelan arbitration debate In the
house of British commons Tuesday is the
leading topic in London.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "NIr Ather-
ley-Jones' amendment (deploring the alb
sence of a pronouncement in the queens
speech in favor of arbitrating the Venez-
uelan dispute) could not do good and might
do a great deal of harm. Mr.. Atherley-
Jones is old enough to know that the inter-
ference of the house of commons in mat
tiers under diplomatic treatment must be in
tolerable. The amendment, implying GEN.
sure of the government. would infaIlibly
have been negatived by a large majority,
and would thus have defeated its own ends
and have conveyed to the United States an
entirely fallacious impression OF hostility.
This, on the morning of the very promising
suggestion of Mr.. Smalley, might have been
a very serious calamity. Fortunately, no
harm has been done. The house saw ii had
been on the verge of an indiscretion and
wisely began to talk of something else'
The Westminster Gazette says that 1t en-
tirely sympathizes with the object Of Mr..
Atherley-Jones' amendment adding how
ever: But 1t was clearly desirable after
Mr. Balfour's appeal and Sir William Har-
courts speech, that it should not be perse-
vered in, for its certain rejection would
have been interpreted in America as Demon
strating that the house of commons did
not favor arbitration. This would have
been a thousand plties, with the delicate
negotiations proceeding and with every
hope that a modus vivendi will be found"
The St. James Gazette agrees that Mr.
Ralfour's Intervention in the debate yester-
day, i'm order to end it, was justihable, and
says: But Sir William Harcourts utter
ances on arbitration go great deal further
than is justified by the feeling here The
Chronicle and Sir William Harcourt most
mischievously declare that the country is
unanimous for arbitration, without specify.
ing what arbitration. Nothing but harm
can come of this mystfication."

NOT RIPE FOR REVOLT,

Gravity of the French Crisis Not as
Great as 1t Might he.
The French political crisis is not solved
The friends Of the government say that the
moderate senators desire a settlement Of the
disputes, and, according to the Rappel, the
radical deputies will not raise debate on
the subject when the chamber meets to-
morrow; but, 1t is added, the moderates will
do so, and the members of the extreme left
intend to stump the country in protest
against the attitude of the senate.
NJ. Bourgeois, the premier, has informed
the members of the left that the government
does not desire to again raise the question
of confidence in the chamber of deputies
tomorrow, preferring to wait for further
action upon the part of the senate.
The Paris correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette of London telegraphs that the DO
litical situation in France is growing more
serious.
CHOSE who are best informed" this cor
respondent writes, consider that the cab
met has card up it's sleeve which will
cause considerable surprise. 1t is certain
that the ministry means to stop where it is
and there is possibility of coup detat,
the government may declare it's intention
to govern without the senate. A states
man tells me that the obstacle is Gen. Saus-
sier, the governor of Paris, and generals
simo in case of war. Saussier is old, op-
posed to change and prepared to march
against revolutionary movement with the
utmost vigor. A few months ago he said to
enc Of the moderate ministers in power:
Keep me so long as you possibly can. You
will need me and one regiment to master
the Partisan populace, and. with Saussier,
the soldiers obey their chief
Henry Rochefort remarked to me yes
terday: Seven years ago, two lines in
the Intransigeant Hochefort's newspaper
headed Down with the senate! would have
sufficed for 100000 men to Immediately
march upon the Luxembourg Nhe building
formerly palace of royalty and also used
by Napoleon, which in 1870 was named the
Palace Of the Senate. That body now &C.
cupies 1t during its sessions). Now, there is
such lassitude that column would not call
dozen men to arms
"a radical leader said to me today: If a
pretender is willing to risk his life he would
now have chance of winning the game
1.-The radicals prove that they regard the
situation as revolutionary by deciding that
the parliamentary bureau shall sit en- per-
manence. This Is an echo Of the great rev.
olution.
THE latest information Is that the SEN
ate hopes, on Friday, to pass vote of CEN
sure against the government by even a more
crushing majority than on Saturday"
