GENUINE EGYPTIAN LOTUs
a Bed Of Fifteen Acres in a Lake Near
Chicago.

Chicago June 29.-The mammoth To-
tus beds in Grass lake, one of the bo-
tanical wonders of the world. are in
full bloom. They cover an area Of 10
acres.
The plants are said by botanists to
be beyond question the genuine Egyp-
tian lotus which has figured so con
spicuously in the poetry Of the land Of
the Nile.
Grass lake is pear-shaped and is
about three miles across in the widest

ARTISTIC SILVER BUTTON.
Patent of a Washington Ran Indors-
ed by the Silver League.

Washington, June 29.-The silverites
have produced a number of campaign
buttons, intended to represent the free
coinage idea. but one of the most ap-
propriate as well as artistic has been
designed and patented by a Washing
ton man.
This button or badge is the work of
Mr.. G. G. GroCmes, who is an old news
paper man and whose idea has been
adopted and indorsed by the American
BinetaIlic league which is the leading
and Official organization of the new sill
yer or free coinage sentiment
The device consists of g circle of rep
reservations of sixteen silver dollars,
surrounding a center of one gold dollar,
with the terms ''16 to T. occupying the
free space around the center. thus por-
trGying the idea of sixteen coins or pOr-
tons of silver eQUaniag one coin or por-
ton Of gold, of equal size and weight.
Mr.. Groones' design is very catchy and
a large number of them have been sent
into sections where the silver sentiment
is dominant

sTLYER N THE EAsT..
The N. z. Post, the Gold Organ, Tells
Some Facts.

The New York Evening Post of last
Saturday contained the following edl-
torial, admitting that the free coinage
movement has recently broken out in
many new and unexpected spots in
New England and New York, and in
forming the world that the outbreak IS
wholly due to the awful prevalence OF
downright American ignorance:
The news has been received here
with something of chill that the
Democrats Of Lewis county in this state
at their convention yesterday adopted
a free silver platform, and that those
of Jefferson county on Wednesday
were prevented from doing so only by
the personal influence of eX-GOv- Flow
er. This news is supplemented by in
formation which the Evening Post has
been at pains to collect from Massa-
chusetts, that the Democracy of that
state is honey cOmbed with free silver
ism, greenbacliSTn, POpuliSm. and all
the isIns that the late Gen. Butler be
STROBE during his brief supremacy
there.
A correspondent whose means Of in
formation is of the best, writes US
that although the leaders of the party
in that state are against silver, and
would be able to control the party IN
der ordinary conditions, the masses are
for it, and that this fact viii be mani
fest whenever the national convention
indOrses free silver The same is true
of the party in Maine, and still more
so in New Hampshire. Indeed, the
Republicans of New Hampshire nave

from the frequent webbing of both the
senators from that state
Widespread is the opinion prevailing
in some parts of the country that the
government. at the instigatiOn of the
national banks, has stopped coming
silver small change in order to make
money scarce. II is a fact that one Of
the banks in New York a day or two
since, received from a national bank
in Kansas an order for $4,000 in silver
one-half Of it in fractions Of a dollar Of
the date OF 1896 or 1895. The reason
why the latest dates were wanted was
thus stated by the cashier Of the Kan
sas bank:
The reason we bother you with this
is because we want new coins The
Populists and free silver men around
here declare and swear to it that no
silver whatever is coined now. 1t does
no good to show them reports because
they say these are made up to suit the
occasion, and I thought perhaps if /
showed them the date of the coins, it
might bother them some to dispute it.
At any rate, want to try it.
