1t would be we'll for some of these
people who are so ready to charge that
oil the opposition to free coinage of sill
yer that comes from bankers and capt.
talists is to he attributed to selfish
motives to take a eursory glance at some
Of the foremost apostles OF free silver.
Perhaps then the old adage about glass
houses and stones will rise up before
them, and induce them to be moro chary
in their charges. The only part of this
country that is solid for free silver is the
mining stntes. In all other sections
there is division Of opinion, but in the
states where they dig silver out of the
earth there is unanimity of opinion
among Republicans, Democrats and
PopulistG, that never can prosperity
como back to this country again until
the coinage of silver is put on an equali-
ty with that of gold. Isn't there good
deal of seltishness behind this unanimity
of opinion? Indeed, does not selflshness
produce this unanimity? Let us see.
Under free coinage q gentleman who
owns a silyor mine in Montana can take
lump Of silver which would sell for but
have it coined and stamped one dollar
and given q debt paying power equal to
the gold dollar. or equal to double the
amount of silver uncoined. This he can
do with every ounce of silver that he
can dig out of his mine. Perhaps he
bought his mine last year and agreed to
pay half o million dollars for it, and has
not yet paid it. Under free coinage he
can take out of the mine $3.50, 900 worth
OF silver at the market price, carry it to
the mint and have it swelled by the
coming process and tho legal tender act
SO that this quarter Of million of silver
will pay half million of debt. Perhaps
to buy his mine he borrowed half mil
lion from some eastern capitalist-half a
million dollars of the purchasing power
of gold dollars. Under free coinage he
can scale down this debt one half. That
is to say ne can extinguish it by paying
his creditor the same number of dollars
of half the purchasing power. He can
make S250,000 worth Of silver pay
a gold debt of twice that amount. Is
it any wonder that the silver producers
are crying for free silver coinage, and
in view of the enormous profits they are
sure to get out of it, is it not altogether
likely that the 'sdear people" they pro-
pose to be SO much concerned about are
themselves?

so free silver can do no harm If it does
no good" This is altogether wrong.
Times can be very much worse than they
are now. For the past two or three years
times have not been so good as they
were for the three or four years proceed
ing, and yet they have not been SO fear
fully bad as the oroaking would indicate.
During the year 1895 the deposits in the
Maine savings banks increased 81, 1884,,
920 60-almost So, 100000 This does
not indicate that times have been ex-
tremely hard among the wage earners,
who largely constitute the savings bank
depositors. There ms been large
shrinkage in the value of m any kinds of
stocks, but this has hit principally the
rich who were able to bear it. Anyone
who on a pleasant afternoon will watch
the crowded eleotric cars on their way
TO the various pleasure resorts in this
vicinity will be forced to the conclusion
that tn masses cannot be very short of
money. The truth is the hardness of the
times is exaggerated. The great MAORI
ty of the people of Maine today are en-
ployed at pretty fair wages, and are not
driven to very close economy to make
both ends meet. They are far from the
condition indicated by the talk of the
silver people, Their condition is not so
bad that it cannot be made very much
worse, and it behooves them to iny5sti-
gate well the medicine offered them. ].

FARM LANDS IN DEMAND.

Pennsylvania Mechanics Anxious to Leave
 the Towns and Go Farming.
 There has been brisk demand dur ing the past summer and winter for farms adjacent to the city, says the Newcastle (Pa.) Guardian. This, no doubt. has grown out of the uncertain ty of steady employment and reduction of wages, occasioned by the industrial and business depression which has pre- vailed. In thls city, although our in- dustrial establishments have run with remarkable regularity under the circum- stances, there have been cuts in wages which have made the man who earns a living by the use of his hands very uncertain regarding the future. His past experience has taught him that further regular employment cannot al ways be looked forward to, and the re- duction in his earnings has caused him more uneasiness. because it makes it more difficult for him to provide for ''rainy day''
 A reporter dropped into the office of one of the leading real estate agents, and during the talk learned that there had been quite demand for farms within few miles of the central DOT tion of New Castle Said the real es- tate man: Farm property in Lawrence county has been in good demand dur ing the past fall and present winter. There has not been much enhancement in values of real estate growing out of this call for such property as yet, but it will undoubtedly lead to it. Not only are there quite a number of persons who desire to buy land of this kind, but it is considered just at present the best security by people who have money to loan at interest. A well-known Lawrence county man just the other day wanted me to loan for him six to eighteen thousand dollars on farm lands. He probably thought it safer investment than city property. Country property is not subject to the factua- tions of New Castle real estate by req son of the fact that in the latter place the shut-downs of industrial establish ments have a marked effect on the real estate market. know of a number of New Castle men who want to buy farm property adjacent to the city. One of these desires to invest six thou sand and another five thousand dollars Mechanics in all trades have been here during the past few months getting in- formation regarding farm values. Some of these, should they purchase farms, will quit working in our indus trial plants, while others want their property near town so they can con tinue their vocation here"

A PRItSi's NOBLE WORK.
His Glorious Self-Sacriice in the Min
 nesota Forest Fire.

His Glorious seIf-sacrihce in the Min
 nesota Forest Fire.
 The exploit of the brave engineer who piloted his train through the tor nado of flame in the Minnesota forest fires and rescued swarms of terror stricken refugees has made him famous; but the self-sacrifce of poor parish priest in Hinckley has hardly been mentioned, although there was in it much of the finest quality of heroism, says the Youths Companion.
 From the moment when the destruc tion of the town was menaced by the rapidly advancing wave of flame, he ceased to think of himself and devoted all his energies of mind and body to the protection and rescue of others.
 He went from house to house, warn ing the inmates of their peril, and beg ging them to take refuge in sand pits where there was water. While panic stricken men were harnessing horses and frantically seeking to escape into the burning woods, he was calm and collected, reassuring everyone whom he met, yet pointing out the only chance of safety.
 He led one group after another to the sandpits when they were beside them selves from fear and excitement. When one place of refuge was overcrowded he found another, and begged the strag- glers to follow him.
 The woods were flaming on every side, and the refugees standing in the water felt in their faces the scorching breath of the storm of fire, The good priest had words of encouragement for all. He held children in his arms; he supported fainting women when they were falling from fright and fatigue; he put the stoutest-hearted man to shame by his coolness, cheerfulness and energy.
 With his hat he poured water on the heads of women and children in that fiery furnace. He took the coat from his back and tore it in half. One frag- ment he dipped in water and bandaged the forehead of a woman with child clinging to her. The other half he wound around the heads of two help less children whose faces were scorched with the heat of the burning forest
 Bareheaded and in shirt-sleeves he stood among the dying and ministered to them while he had strength to stand, eyes to see and voice to utter words of comfort and hope His was the spirit of self-sacrifice and of minis try to the needy, and whether shown in Catholicor in Protestant it is worthy of high commendation.
 The flight of the train through the burning forest was the more stirring story in print, but what could have been nobler or more heroic than this devoted mans work among his fock
 There were deeds of valor and chiv- airy before the walls of Zutphen in Flanders, but one act of self-sacrifce alone is remembered. Sir Philip Sid ney, wounded, dying and burning with thirst, put away from his own lips the bottle of water which had been brought to him in his agony and gave it to a common soldier covered with gore who had glanced at him wistfully.

DEDICATION
Of the Improved House OF
Worship
Of the Baptist Church of
this City.

Sunday, January 10, was day of
rejoicing tor the Baptist church of this
city. After more than four months
of patient, and some impatient wait
ing, the Baptists moved into their
beautiful new home last Sunday. All
that is left or the old house, are the
walls, the floor aud the rafters. The
old house has been re-roofed, the win
dow openings have been filled with
handsome artistic and memorial VIM
dows, the walls have been beautifully
decorated with solid tint paper with
fresco borders, the floor is covered
with new and tasteful carpet. In
addition to this a room, the same
width as the old one, has been added
to the rear to the extent OF 80 feet. A
roller7shntter partition, and curtains
cut off the new and old room when de-
sired. The entire building is furnish
ed with circular oak pews from the
Grand Rapids School Furniture Com
pany, which are agreed to be as COM
Portable as they are handsome. The
church is furnished and decorated
throughout in oak and blue. The
pews, pulpit, pulpit-set, roller-shutter,
choir railing behind the pulpit, the
prevailing tint in the windows are
oak, while the wall decorations, bor-
der tint on the windows, the drapery,
both of main openings between the
two rooms, and choir railing are in
steel blue; and the carpet is of dark
blue background, with oak figure.
The improvement is SO made that
there are practically three rooms in
the building The roller-shutter may
be pulled down and the back room
used for Sunday School, prayer meet
ing and young peoples society; the
front room for regular Sunday SER
vice, and both thrown together for
larger occasions. This is accomplish
ed by putting the double pulpit on
the side, thus throwing the single pull
