ALTHOUGH the Venzuelsn matter has
flashed In the pan and the contemplated
war with Spain is likely to prove a
flasco, the great State Of Kentucky true
to her past record for belligerency comes
CALAMITY to the front prepared to sus-
tain the national honor by little war
OF her own. State troops are being
massed at the state Capitol at Frank
ford to keep down threatened trouble
due to the senatorial contest In the leg
islature. Another strong argument in
favor OF an election of United States
Senators by the people.

THE greatest Judicial farce ever en-
nacted In this country, says the Toledo
Blade, was that In Washington, where
She aristocratic Miss Flagler shot and
killed little colored boy for trespassing
in her garden. She had private trial
and aside from a light fine was sent to
Jail for three hours. She went to jail
In her fathers carriage accompanied by
friends, and Tor tire hours sat in an
easy chair in the parlor of the Jail, hav-

had killed the Young womanl He would

LuTE,s BOY AND HIS Pa.

Small Boy: Oh, Pa, what is the
reason that there are so many failures
in business?
Smart Father: Some fail because of
Encouragement, some through imDru-
dent speculation, some because they
do not have enough money to carry on
business through these dull times, and
various other reasons.
S. B. But why don't they have
enough money! Don't you claim there
is plenty OF money in circulation?
S. F. Well, yes, but the people who
are IN possession of it lack confidence
to invest it for fear of loss, especially
if the free silverites succeed.
S. B. l suppose. then. if you had 20
bushels of potatoes and you were to
put 20 bushels more on the market, it
would make you more liable to lose
those already there.
S. F. No, but it would reduce the
price of those already there, because
they would be more plentiful and there
fore much cheaper.
why the workingmen all over the world
are striving so hard to have silver re-
monetiZed, so as to have more money
in circulation so they can get more TO:
their labor.
S. F. Yes, but then they would have
sumption, both because of the amount
of currency and uncertainty of measure.
S. b. Why should silver be any more
uncertain for measuring values than
gold?
$. F. Because 1t has become the
almost universal coin of the world.
S. b. But has it not been crowded
on the world to the detriment of all
classes?
| s. F. What makes you think so?
s. L. Because the almost universal
coin of the Bible is silver, and most
people say that it is the only instance
in history that silver has been taken
away from, aid, again, because you
say that if there were more money il
would be easier to get. Surely they
did not know that fifteen-sixteenths OF
their money was to be taken from them
s. F. Why do you say fifteen-slx.
teenthsp
S. B. Because there have been only
two moneys-gold and siIver-and ii
silver is coined at the ratio of 16 to
or sixteen times as much silver in the
silver dollar as gold in the gold dollar
and you destroy the silver dollar al
primary money, you are destroying
fifteen-sixteentbs of the money materi
al.

as that, I'll wallop you. Git, tell you
