The Pilot mentioned some few weeks
ago that the Unity Company of Chicago
of which John 2. Altgeld is president,
made Its leases requiring tenants to pay
IN gold. This was then stated as a rumor.
Since than the editor has been furnished
copy of one of these lea7es which re-.
quires that payment be made monthly
in STANDARD gold com of the United
States This lease is signed by John P.
Altgeld as President of the Unity Compa-
ny. The lease is for four rooms IN the
Unity building which bring a rental of
1000 per year.
People who have accepted Altgeld's
leadership of the democratic party, and
who believe IN his assertion that silver IS
the money Of the poor people, should ask
themselves the question why silver is not
good enough money for this blatant ad-
vocate of silver? What weight should the
words of such man have with the peo-
pie with his practic and his preaching so
much at variance? Is it not about time
for the people to think cody on this
question ard not yield ready obedience
to man who bellies his own words by
his cts?

THE RAIN GROW.
Facts of Interest Regarding the Ameri-
can Cuckoo.


can Cuckoo.
The American cuckoo belongs to the
voodpecler tribe, and is only a summer
visitor, coming about the 1st of June
and leaving early in the fall for Florida.
Unlike the English cuckoo, ours builds
its own nest and raises its own young,
to whom it is a most devoted parent.
We have two species in this country,
the yellow bill and the black bill, the
latter being best known in Pennsyl-
yania.
Both, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
are smaller than the old world spe-
cies, and differ from it in color, being
greenish olive above and blush white
beneath, while the European bird is
black winged. The American cuckoo
has a tail longer than its body, which
gives it a hawk-lille appearance, and
the plumage is soft and silky, like that
of the owl, which enables it to fly with
out making any noise, so that we often
hear it call without being able to see
the bird.
burroughs says: "This call of the
cuckoo has a solitary, hermit-like
sound, as if the bird was alone in the
world, and called on the fates to wit
ness his desolation" He has never
heard the call answered, nor has he
call is heard most in cloudy weather
and before a rain, from which the bird
gets the name of rain crow.

MEXICAN dollars are now greatly
sought by employers of labor. Their
use is designed to show what the effects
OF free coinage OF silver will be. The
Mexican dollar contains grams more Of
pure silver than our silver dollar. They
are purchased for 53 cents each. tboucb
the demand for them has raised the price.
They are given the workmen at their
bullion value, that is If a dollar and fiftv-
three cents is due the laborer he gets 4
United States dollar and a Mexican
dollar. He finds he can get only 53 cents
vorth of goods of any kind for his Mexi-
can dollar, so that he gains nothing. But
when 1t comes TO free coinage. the L. s.
dollar will have Just the purchasing
power the Mexican dollar will have, Int
1t will be legal tender and the laborer
must accept it at Its face value. though
he can purchase the necessaries of life
with it only at its bullion value.

The genial ex-governor assured Bryan he
would carry Wisconsin. Only four weeks
ago Mr.. Peck and Mr.. Wall were pro-

strong In their advocacy of gold that it
was suspected the failure to nominate
presidential electors was trick of theirs
to prevent the sllvermen from having
electors, should they win at Chicago and
should the state convention which is TO
meet to nominate state officers be for the
