A CANDY Eating Cat.

A cat in d family of q Hudson riv-
er town is very fond of candy, and
'his is what his mistress saw him
doing n day recently: One of the
sons of the household sat by the
window reading. He had spread out
on the sill a row of candies, and ey-
cry few moments he would reach
out for one Of these and carry it to
his mouth without looking up from
his book. By and by his mother no.
ticed what the cat was doing. He
would steal up On what might be
called his tiptoes to the window,
and, watching Edgar all the time,
would reach out a paw cautiously
and snatch a chocolate. This he did
until he had taken half the row of
candies. Then Edgar discovered
what he vas doing and promptly
suppressed him. This same cat likes
to be petted like a child. He will
doze peacefully on the bed, his head
on the pillow and one paw tucked
under it. Another paw he will thrust
out for his mistress to hold, and
thus he will sleep by the hour. So,
if there is a loud noise in the night
to awaken him, he will run to her
bed to be taken in and lie by her
side, with his little claw in her hand
to soothe him while he falls eff to
slumber again. New York Times.

EQUAL DOLLARS.
A Few Pertinent Questions Asked of the
GoIdbug Presidential Candidate,

GoIdbug Presidential Candidate.
In his address to the modification
committee" Mr.. Mckinley said:
"The money of the United States
and every kind or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or gold, must be as
good as the best in the world. 1t must
not only be current at it's full face value
at home, but it must be counted at par
III any and every commercial center of
the globe. The s%agacious and farseeine
policy of the great men who founded
our government, the teachings and acts
OF the wisest financiers at every stage in
our history, the steadfast faith and
splendid achievements of the great par
ty to which we belong and tho genius
and integrity of our people have always
demanded this and will ever maintain
it. The dollar paid to the farmer, the
wage Garner and the pensioner must
continue forever equal in purchasing
power to the dollar paid to II govern
ment creditor"
Ii under the "existing gold stand
+ every dollar, "whetber of paper,
silver Or gold" is "the best in the
world" why vas it necessary for this
country to issue $500, 900, 600 in inter
est bearing bonds to obtain gold?
If under the "existing gold Standard
every dollar, whether of paper, silver
or gold" is counted at par in any and
every commercial center of the globe"
why was it necessary for the govern.
ment to issue $500, 900, 900 in bonds to
obtain gold?
If under the ''existing gold Standard
every dollar, whether of paper, silver
Or gold" is ''equal in debt paying
power, why was it necessary for the
government to issue $500, 900, 900 in
bonds to obtain gold?
Ii ''the dollar paid to the farmer,
the wage Garner and the p%ensioner'' is,
under the "existing gold standard"
equal l n debt paying power to the dollar
paid to the foreign creditors of the gov
eminent, why was it necessary to issue
$500, 600, 600 i'll bonds in order to ''main-
tain our credit abroad by paying our
foreign creditors in gold?
Under the "existing gold Standard"
which Mr.. McKinley's platform says
must be preserved, the silver dollar
which the wage Garner, the farmer and
the pensioner gladly accepts is not equal
in debt paying power to the gold dollar
when the foreign creditor of the govern
ment is to be paid off. MI. Mckinley
knows this to be true and he regards
very lightly the intelligence Of the
American people when he imagines
that he can make them believe that the
equality of the American dollar, effec-
tually destroyed by the gold standard,
can be restored by preserving this
same gold standard. Omaha World

Olympic Festival Fixed by the Moon.

The time for the Olympic festival,
like the Christian Easter, was de-
pendent upon the moon. In accord
ance with an ancient tradition, the
festival was held when the o
was nearest the summer solstice, at
the end of June or the beginning of
July. With the first appearance of
the anew moon began the Hieromenia,
or sacred month, during which a
sacred truce prevailed. Hostilities
we're suspended, and no armed SOL
der could enter the territory of Els
and no assault could be made upon
a pilgrim under penalty of IA heavy
fine and accommodation from tho
temples. games and sacrifices. PRO

Morton Is Sad,

The silver sentiment is universal all
over the west" said Secretary Morton,
land it is growing. So many trimmers
think it is going to win that they are
jumping that way. There is no hope of
electing gold candidates anywhere in
the west, and right there in San Frat
cisco, where they have more than IA
hundred millions of gold coin in tie
vaults Of their banks, where deposits ale
paid in gold by specific contract, aud
where greenbacks have never been good
enough fer them, the people are crying
for so cent silver dollars. California is
not ii silver producing country. 1t is a
gold producing country, and it is ex.-
traordinary that the people of that state
should prefer silver money to gold.
They are willing that a silver miner in
Colorado shall get the same amount of
good out Of so cents worth of silver
that a geld miner in their own state
gets for 100 cents of gold. The gold
miner may work all day and the silver
miner half Il day, and both will get the
same wages if the 16 to 1 policy is car
ried out, and yet the Californians seem
to be crazy for ii. "-Washington Post.

TELLER AND HIS LIKE.
Men Who In a Great Crisis Stood Forth
as Patriots and Not as Partisans.

Men Who In n Great Crisis Stood Forth
as Patriots and Not as Partisans.
Henry M. Teller has won for himself
a place in history. In a great crisis he
stood forth as a patriot. 1t is no easy
matter to sever the political ties of a
lifetime; it is no easy matter to stand
before a hostile and angry crowd and
preach a gospel which they reject, but
Senator Teller had the courage to DO it.
Some shouted renegade, " some called
him a "bolter," and hundreds Kissed
their venom at him, but the voice of his
conscience rose above the din of the
multitude, drowning out all other
sounds, and that conscience called him
patriot. He was present at the birth
of the Republican party, he espoused the
cause for which it stood and brought to
it's support all the energy of a strong
and vigorous mind, all the zeal of a
warm and generous heart. Years ago
he noted with apprehension the grow
ing influence of the capitalistic classes
in the party's councils, but his love for
the party was so deep that his hope over
came his fears. But when the conven-
ton at st. Louis bowed to the will of
Wall street and under the threat of a
withdrawal Of campaign contributions
accepted a platform written by the
money changers, he was left no choice,
and abandonment of the party became a
duty.
Issues make parties. The money ques-
ton is now the paramount issue, and
voters must make their party associa-
tons fit their convictions. The example
Of Senator Teller is taken for the sake
of illustration. He is conspicuous be-
cause of his great ability and high Off
cial position, and yet all who initiate
him are deserving of like praise. Du-
bois, Cannon, Hartman and all the 9TH
ers who followed Teller out of the con-
vention have practiced the same virtues
and given evidence of the same moral
courage.
Congressman Towne, who, though
not a delegate, was present and partici-
pated in all their plans, is worthy to
stand by the side of Teller. His state
conventions, both Democratic and Re-
publican, declared for gold, and yet his
convictions are SO deep that he is will
ing to stand by them, even though it
may mean political death to him.
Disintegration has begun, and it can
have but II result. The west and
south, the great wealth producing Sec
lions Of the country, will dominate the
government and restore equality in leg
islation. Omaha World-Herald.

ALGER'S CONFESSION.
The Man Who Stultif1ed Himself and As
sOciates Gives His Case AWAY.

AAAo SSSo IN
The price of silver is down no more than is
the price of every product in the country
They might as well demand that the country
put up the price of copper, iron or wool as to
put up the price of silver.-General Russell A.
Alger.
Here is a plain, unequivocal comics
sion from a man who has more han any
other mar to do with the qualification
of the Michigan delegation at the st.
Louis convention. General Alger admits
that the price of silver has gone down,
and that the price of every other prod
uct has gone down accordingly. These
are facts which no intelligent and hon
wheat, corn, potatoes, wool and cotton
and silver and all other products have
depreciated-that is, if you can buy as
much with so cents worth of silver as
you used to with 81 worth-then
the price of gold must have appreciated.
There is no other conclusion that can
logically be drawn. The price of gold
can be estimated only with respect to
its purchasing power, and if the metal
in a gold dollar will buy twice as much
in the markets of the world as it would
~ YEARS + tLeu UudU uDlldT HAS QOu-
bled in value. 1t is absurd to maintain
that gold alone CT all the products has
remained standard. Such all argument
is but the assertion of the doctrinaires
and has no basis in fact.
General Alger has expressed a fact
which cannot be ~controverted. He has
admitted the truth of the basic conten-
ton of the advocates of free silver. He
has Internationally demonstrated the
righteousness of their cause, and why,
in the name Of all the gods, should he
insist that the only honest dollar which
this country can maintain is dollar that
is So? The Michigan delegation went to
the st. Louis convention on a platform
pledged to bimetallism. The members
of that delegation, led by General AL
ger, disobeyed the tacit instructions Of
the convention which nominated them
and voted to maintain all appreciated
single standard. They return home,
and General Alger confesses to the JUS
tice of the silver cause, but still insists
that the 50 dollar is the only honest dol
lar. This may be good Republican poll
tics, but it is not patriotism, and all
the glowing rhetoric in the world can
not make it other than a miserable sub
terfuge. detroit News.

A FOND WlFE'S r

Swimming In MuciIage.

Leonard Bagsby suffered from acute
rheumatism, and it often approached SO
near his heart that he feared fatal re-
suits. One of his favorite liniments was
pure alcohol, aud, as it was the cheapest
OF them, he applied it freely during the
attack.
The other night Bagsby was awaken
ed by All attack Of his old enemy. At
the first groan his wife was out of bed,
cropping for the cupboard and the alco-
hol. She seized the first big bottle, and,
verifying her instinct by a sniff at the
stopper, she hurried to her suffering hus-
band. She needed no encouragement to
apply the liniment freely, but Bagsby
urged her to pour it OH as fast as she
could.
In a few minutes the pain began to
subside, and as the excitement died
away Mrs. Bagsby noticed that her
hands were quite sticky. Without stop
ping to inquire as to the cause she went
to wash them. But somehow the water
would not remove the dirt. She lighted
the gas to see what was the matter.

New YORK, Oct 6.-Following the an

court judge, because he did not indorse
free silver, came the report that Nathaniel

last evening Judge Clement verified the
report, and said that he had simply been
waiting for Judge Brown to take the in
itative The reasons for his declination
are substantially the Same rs those given
by Judge Brown. He had believed at first,
he said, that the nomination was non

being raj sed in connection with it, he had
been forced TO withdraw, as he could not
stand upon the Chicago platform.
