The Intell!Gencer Is asked whether sil-
yer dollars are redeemed" In sold; and
II not, to explain how the parity OF the
silver dollar with the gold dollar Is
maintained.
There is no redemption OF a gold dol
lar. that being a standard coin. 50 1t Is
with the silver dollar. Technically there
Is no redemption OF 1t, but practically It
has been exchanged for gold. Anybody
who had the silver could get the gold.
The silver was bought with thu treas
ury notes Of 1890 provided for and issued
for that purpose. The following from
the act Of 1890. the silver purchase act,
Is OF prime Importance In this conncc-
ton:
That upon demand OF tho holder OF any
of the treasury notes herein rroylrcd for
the secretary Of the treasury shall. under
such regulations as he may prescribe, re-
deem such notes in gold or silver coin.
at his discretion. II being the established
policy OF the United States to maintain
The two metnlS on n parity with each other
upon the present legal ratio. or such ratio
as may be provided by law.
To carry u; the spirit Of this provision
the secretary Of the treasury has used
his observation" In the only way In which
the parity could have been maintained.
He has paid the treasury notes OF 1890
with gold or silver as the holders OF the
notes asked for n or the other. II oil
svcr alone had been paid when thcse
notes were presented for redemption, the
notes would have been dlscrcdltcI to
that extent and IN turn they would have
discredited silver.
The provision above quoted and the
policy Of the treasury have kept the
silver dollar level with the gold dollar.
Tho paper was issued ,opay for the silver,

Furthermore. only q small amount OF

Journal OF Finance: The general man
aEer OF Il railroad. whose employees by
actual canvass, are overwhelmingly In
favor OF sound money. tells US that the
way the silver men originally went to
work was through the labor union
leaders. They secured from these men
the addresses OF the union members
and flooded them with silver literature
at intervals. The astonishing thing is
that all OF the labor leaders, or almost
all. as FAR ms the railway unions are
concerned. are silver men. while rail-
way employees have so far shown a
very large preponderance Of sound mo-
ney sentiment, larger In fact than that
noted in any other department Of in
duStry.

II should be remembered. also, that
the isVuc of silver dollars is limited. The

His Fret Glimpse OF the Sea.

King Prempeh of Ashanti never saw
the sea until the day when. as prison
or of the English he was brought down
to the coast and embarked on the war
ship that had been designated to take
him to the place Of his exile, where he
must spend the rest of his life. The
beach was crowded with dense throng
Of natives, who shouted and sang and
made tremendous din when Prempeh
and his companions came in sight The
expression on the kings face when he
first beheld the ocean was one of blank
establishment, not unmixed with alarm,
but he soon recovered himself and talked
volubly in the farewell interview which
he had before embarking. A detachment
of the West Yorkshire battalion entered
surfboat, and Prempeh was placed in
their midst The chief interpreter fol
lowed closely in the wake of the boat
conveying the king, whose every move
ment was plainly visible. His novel sur
rounding evidently made great i'm
preston upon Prempeh. and when the
Racoon was reached and boarded he was
quite lost in wonder. Long before the
Racoon started many of the Ashanti
prisoners, most of whom had preserved
most stolid demeanor on coming on
board, were painfully seasick.

He Approved the nook.

Chauncey M Dopew was telling Q
story about police superintendent in
one Of our inland cities The man was q
sharp, shrewd fellow. who worked his
way up from the ranks. with little or
30 education. A boy was arrested at the
station by one Of his officers, and in due
time brought before the superintendent.
The officer said that the boy had run
away from his home in the east and was
going west to fight Indians. The super
intsndent asked il any weapons had been
found on the youthful desperate. The
officer replied that the only thing found
on him was book. The superintendent
continued "These dime novels are do.
ing more to injure boys characters and
to drive them from home than anything
else. Let me see IL.
The officer handed him the book He
took it and opened it. Then he said .
This is the Bible-eh? have heard Q
lot about this book, but / have never
read it. Wait until see what it says. {"
He began to read slowly and laborious.
ly. After 20 minutes silence he took
his feet down from the desk. placed his
glasses back in the case, and said kindly
to the boy, We'll, my little man. am
surprised that with book of this kind
in your possession you should have de-
cided to run away from home. Turn

A Frenchman's Dilemma.

II begin to understand your language
better,'' said a Frenchman the other
day, "but your verbs trouble me STILL
You mix them SO with your propositions.
l have just seen my friend, Mrs. James,
and she said she intended to break down
housekeeping no, break up. mean
her health is so broken into, and since
smallpox was broken up in the city she
thinks she will leave for time. ["
After some difficulty he was set
straight and made to understand that he
should say broken up as applied to
health, broken out as applied to small
pox, after which he continued:
Mrs. James tells me her sons en-
gagement is broken-broken off. He
seems nice young fellow and is a
breaker, believe. "
And it was some time before his hear
ers realized that this last was not a pun,
but only another eccentricity of the verb
Ito break"-that young Mr.. James Is q
broker, and that his profession is not
that of breaking either engagements or
hearts. New York Journal.

An Original Judge.

No more unique figure is to be found
In the American judiciary than Judge
Gaslin of Nebraska, and many are the
stories told of this interesting personal
ity.
On one occasion a man who had drift
ed over into Nebraska from Colorado,
who was not familiar with the manner
of administering justice on the Nebraska
side of the border, appropriated horse
which he found hitched to q post in
front of country store. The horse hap
pened to be the property of Judge Gas
lin. The thief was captured and later
bound over to await trial in the district
court. A few days after, Judge Gaslin
net fellow judge from another district
and requested him, as favor, to come
into his district on day specified and
sentence horse thief, as Gaslin said he
felt little delicacy in sentencing man
for stealing his own horse.
The fellow jurist assented and Incl
dentally inquired when the offender was
convicted.
oh, he isn't convicted yet" replied
Judge Gaslin, but I'll tend to that
part of it," And he did. st Louis

Walpole AN Inspired Reporter.

OF course a man may choose, IL he
will, to be less than free author He
may become reporter, for there is such
a thing as reporting for books as we'll
as reporting for newspapers, and there
have been reporters so amazingly clever
that their very aptness and wit consti-
tute them a sort of immortals. You
have proof of this in Horace Walpole,
at whose hands gossip and compliment
receive sort of apotheosis Such men
hold the secret of kind of alchemy by
which things trivial and temporary may
be transmitted into literature. But they
are only inspired reporters after all,
and while man was wishing. he might
wish TO be more and climb to better
company. Professor Woodrow Wilson
in Century.
