ONE :. 4.Ra uMnNY,, NAILED.


 The persistency with which some of the silver shouters shout that which isn't so is worthy of a better cause. For instance, they continually say that .the crime of 1873" resulted in con- traction of 'the money volume" which has been exceedingly disastrous Let's see. In 1873 the whole amount of currency of all kinds in the Treasury and in circulation was $751,- SS1,S09. Last year it was $1,601, ,96S, ,473. Not only has the volume of the cur- rency been expanded to more than twice what it was in 1873, but the in crease has considerably more than kept pace with the growth of pop ulation. In 1873 the circulation per capita was s1SO4; last year it was s22.97
 During this same period, moreover, there has been an enormous increase in the worlds product of gold which supplies the money of ultimate redemp- ton. In 1875, the gold product of the world was only $97, 100000. Last year it was s2oS,00o,ooo; this year it is esti- mated at s22O,o00,0OO The average an- nual production of gold now is $15, 5,000,- 006 in excess of the total production of both gold and silver down as late as 1884.
 These facts knock out in one round one of the most profound and impress sive arguments of the silverites. ''The crime of 1873" doesn't appear to have been any more wicked in some re- spects than are the liars of 1896.

THE BOT oEAToR,s BIG JOB.

It now appears that the Populists will be in the fashion and have a bolt. Many of them are not pleased with the Boy Orator and his treatment of them and their convention. At the meeting of the disgruntled in St. Louis, which was attended by three hundred repre- sentatives of twenty States, a resolu- ton was adopted giving the Boy Orator thirty days in which to accept the nom- ination and the platform, which he has said he does not approve, and a com- mittee was appointed to prepare an ad- dress. The Texas Popuhsts are partic- ulariy hot. John Caulfield, a prominent one, says his party was sold out at St. Louis, and he adds: So far as I am concerned, I propose to work to defeat the St. Louis spoilsmen, and I shall vote for Mckinley. The PopuIist con- ventior meets in Galvestion the 5th of next month, and I shall work there to pAAA-5 e'SNoe |" het0A"ii HI ASAdS NItH tue Republicans.

At Is trial trip, it seems, this vessel the Forban, ran a distance of more than thirty-one knots in an hour this being equivalent to about thirty-five miles, probably the greatest distance ever covered by 9. seagoing ship in sixty minutes-power- ful engines being necessary, of course, to drive the vessel through the water at such rapid rate. On this score, therefore, the statement is not surpris- ing, that, although the displacement of the craft is only about one hundred and fifty English tons, it carries engines of 3,250 horse power.

 In Alabama similar state of things prevails, and there are indications in other parts of the South that the Boy Orator isn't going to be allowed to treat the Populists just as he pleases, He has a big job on hand to satisfy the Democrats who have the first claim on him, and the Populists and Silverites. He will need all the help his rabbit foot can give hinl. And it will not be at all surprising if he finds, in the ex- pressive language of his own region, that he has bitten off more than ne can chew.

THE COLOR oF PURE WATER.

The fact is generally known that pure water appears blue when light is trans mitted through a sufficient thickness of it, and that when opaque particles are suspended in it tLr hue of the water is greenish. BDt while pure water looks blue when light passes freely through it, yet when it is contained in q deep, opauEe receptacle, like the basin of a lake or the ocean, it ought to absorb all light and look black. Experience shows, however that the deepest parts of the Mediterranean, for instance, ap- pear not black, but intensely blue. This has been supposed to be caused by minute particles held in suspension, but the recent experiments of Professor Spring at Liege suggest a different ex- planation. He has found that warmer currents passing through pure water interrupt it's transparency, even when the difference of temperature is very slight. Such currehts may cause deep water to appear blue by reiecting light

points. The bloomer legs are fitted in to these points, and so ali fullness is carried down almost as low as the knee. A. brilliantine skirt or one of coarse wiry mohatr is made half way below the knee, and the tops of gray suede boots come just a little higher than the edge of the skirt. A norfolk jacket of brilliantine that belts close or not, and which when open shows a white silk or starched linen shirt. Above all a white cap. Now that rig is as pretty an can be for walking or riding. For change you will want a linen outfit, which has pongee bloom- CTS.
 There is no end of wheel rigs, too. that do not include boomers, and it is a jaunty example of this type that is shown to-day. It is of light weight gray cheviot, the short skirt plain in front but hung in four pleats in back. Machine stitching edges the skirt and four braid ornaments cross it's front. These are repeated on the double breasted jacket and the sleeves are similarly treated. Gray leggings meet equestrian tights, and a, sensible soft hat is worn that will not catch and fill from every breeze.
 Sweaters are shown in such hideous combinations of fancy weave in amaZ- ing shape and atrocious color that the only safety is in the absolutely plain garment. Remember that small sleeves are on the way back and don't be caught with a great bargain in a sweater without considering it's sleeves. In another season the big sleeve will look queer and a, sweater sleeve will be difficult to alter. FLORETTE.

The Immortal Jeffarson


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 My card published by you contains the obvious statement that Jefferson and his circumstances were buried over one hundred and fifty years ago." They might have been buried five thou sand years ago SC far as their effect on present issues is concerned. But facts are facts. Jefferson was born in 1743. He was president from 1901 to 1905. He died in 1926 The Republican party to which he belonged was formed in opposition to Washington and in op- position to the Federalist party. Party differences were as bitter then as they are to-day, but issues are so different, the relation of States to the central government has been so radically changed, that if Jefferson were alive there is no telling With which of the present parties he would throw in his lot. If Democrats must continue to point with pride,' let them keep their dexters away from the nlists of anti quity. D. CADY EATON.

AN OMEN.

Those who are looking for omens saw very peculiar and impressive one last evening in the western sky. The sun was setting in clouds which entirely ob- scured it. But all the clouds, clear up to the zenith, were clouds of gold And as the sun sank lower and lower the clouds grew more and more golden until they were as golden as the finan- cial plank of the Republican party's platform.
 It was a good omen. May the gods grant that the political sky shall grow more and more golden as the campaign draws to its close.

DON'T Mrss TEE BOY oHAToRy.

AL I.
 The Boy Orator will soon be going around the country as fast as the fine and convenient trains of the bloated and blasted railroad monopolies can take him. And wherever he can he will open his mouth and move and de- light the populace with his wonderful boy oratory. Of course all who can hear him will, but there are some whom a cruel fate will deny the boon. Such disappointed ones need not. however, sit down in unrelieved sorrow and gloom. They can take the advice of the Nebraska State Journal, which knows all about the Boy Orator, and is trying to do a good turn for those of it's readers who cannot hear him. It says: Any empty barrel, a salt barrel, for in- stance, will do. Just stand it on the floor with the headless end up, put your head half way down into it's emp tiness, and shout at the top of your voice: You shall not press this crown of thorns upon my head, you shall not cruelty me on this cross of gold,'' and the thrill that will run down your spine will compensate you for everything you miss in not getting out to hear Billy
 This Is competent advice, and we heartily commend it to those who can profit by it in these parts. It would be too bad for anybody to miss what can be had so conveniently

The Popular Scientific News has this to say of a scientific cat: Those who now tolerate mice or rats in or about the house certainly must be blind to the fact that a luminous cat, which costs very little to secure and nothing to keep, has been invented and can be placed in any dark corner or nook and effectually scares away all such pests. This cat is struck or stamped from sheet metal or other like material so as to represent in appearance the ex- act counterpart of it's animated feline sister. It is painted over with a luni- nous paint, so that it shines in the dark like a cat of flame. After being used for about a week the place is forever free of either mice or rats.

In discussion on the liquor traffic in Dublin, Ireland a speaker made much of the fact that 1t was mainly from the whiskey tax that the British government derived the funds where with it paid soldiers, police, spies, jail- ors, and so forth, to repress and punish Irish patriotism and keep the coun- try in subjection. "But," said he, tthe fault is your own. You cannot blame the government, It leaves you free to drink or not to drink, just as you please. There is no compulsion. The British government does not bring you into the public houses and pour whis- key down your throats." Whereupon there arose from some one in the body of the hall the pathetic exclamation: "Ah, I wish they would

The Berlin municipal authorities have accepted the proposal of the Stet- tin municipality to consider the best means of making a waterway between the two cities which would render Der lin accessible to vessels of a thousand tons. The canal between the Spree and the Oder, which now completes the nat ura1 waterway between the two cities, is navigable only for boats not exceed ing 175 tons. Experts consider that a canal for large vessels between Berlin and Hamburg would be Of far greater utility, but the Berlin municipality has accepted the Stettin proposal because it affords a favorable opportunity for the discussion of both projects.
