A GRAIN OF COMFORT

The Republican press is very happy
over flying report that France will join
with this country in requesting con-
ference to consider the question of inter-
national bime tallism. The silver advo-
Gates rejoice more over any favorable
indications in that direction than any
other class. for recognition of silver as
a money metal is matter of principle
with them and they do not care how
or by whom it is brought about.
II, however, any favorable result is
achieved. it will not have been effected
by submiseionists to the gold power but
by those who patriotically and persist
emily urge the adoption Of bimetallism
internationally or by our own govern
nent regardless of the action of foreign
governments. Were Americans united
on the subject, the work Of bringing
other countries into an agreement would
be easier and the prospect more hope
full. So long as European bankers and
money lenders are told that consider
able element in this country will stand
by them whatever course they may pur-
sue, they will likely be disinclined to
come into any arrangement that will
release their grasp upon the commerce
of the world
1t is loosely stated that Great Britain
may consent to open the Indian mints
and to use silver more largely in her
domest tic trade. Should she do that it
will be some gain as it will tend to en-
hance the price of silver in London, but
those who expect an agreement for the
international coinage of silver will be
doomed to disappointment There is no
international coinage of gold and there
will be none, for one nation is 10th to
trust another in regard to the weight
and fineness of the metal that shall be
put into coins. Besides this, in case
OF war, there could be no international
circulation of such coins.
The best that can possibly be done
Is to reach an agreement as to the
weight and fineness of silver that shall
constitute the international unit of value
just as Great Britain led off in prescrib-
ing these conditions in regard to gold
Any agreement respecting silver as an
international measure of value will not
be in disparagemen of gold, not would
it be of value to this country in its
effect upon our domestic commerce.
What is needed in this country is not
so much enlargement of the internation-
al medium of exchange as an increase
Of domestic money. The gold monomet-
allists no not concern themselves about
the wants of domestic trade, their anx-
iety Is with reference to external COM
merce, though the former amounts to
fully 100000, 100000 annually and the lat
ter to no more than $50, 00O 900.

THE LADY THAT I LOVE

When she takes her walks abroad
In her leafy garden-ground,
All the singing birds are awed
At the sight and at the sound.
For she sings, Hey, Honey. Hey,
Soft as angels sing above
Oh. she hath killing way,
Hath the lady that I love.
When she jingles through the town
In her gilded coach of glass,
All the women fret and frown,
All the men observe her pass;
But she sings. Hey, Honey, Hey,
Soft as angels sing above
Oh, she hath killing way,
Hath the lady that love.
When I told my woeful tale,
Signing, dying at her feet,
Though she marked my visage pale,
Almost heard my mad heart beat,
Out she laughed, Hey, Honey, Hey,
Soft as angels laugh above
Oh, she hath killing way,
Hath the lady that love.

DR.. MUNHALL
Speaks to the Old Soldiers, Woman's
Relief Corps and the Sons
of Veterans.

The above organizations came to
the Presbyterian church in body,
and each organization was present
nearly in full.
The war taught those who particl-
pated in it one thing, and that is
loyalty to whatever cause they engage
to do. The stage was appropriately
decorated with stack of arms
wrapped about with flag and under
meath was the drum.
Prof. Birch led in 'the song service,
during which Mrs. Walter McBroom
rendered a very fine vocal solo.
DR.. Munhall in the prelude to his
sermon, reviewed his own personal
experiences in the war, so that they
might know, he said, that he was en-
titled to speak concerning such mat
tiers. He had many thrilling stories
and adventures to relate which ought
to satisfy any old soldier that the
evangelist had seen the brunt OF
cruel war.
The speaker then said that there is
a great deal said derOgatoIy to the
pension list, "but l say it glory to
the country" 1t is the rising gener-
alton who have not seen actual war,
who are the ones to cry agaist the
pensions. They accuse me of waving
the bloody shirt; it is a badge OF hon.
or, and believe you ought TO take
off your hat to every old soldier out of
respect to the great service he rem
dered the country.
The speaker then referred to the
hardships endured by the women OF
the relief corps. All honor to these
noble women!
Prof. Birch was requested by the
evangelist to give some of the faml-
liar trumpet calls on his golden cor
net.
The professor responded with the
four following calls:
Assembly of trumpeters;assembly OF
troops; reveille, and taps, or eXtln-
guish the lights.
The patriotic sentiment was fully
aroused by this time aud found ex'
preston in the singing of America. "
DR.. Munhall selected his text from
John $40, "And ye will not come
to Me that we may have life" The
same was the center thought of the
sermon as is the first requisite Of
good soldier obedience. The speak
er illustrated this virtue in the gooc
Christian from army life and expert
ence. Some of the scenes depicted
were fearful and impressed on those
present that death is the king of ter
rors.
The stress of the sermon was
placed on the definition of the wore
repentance" which he explained il
military term. Repentance is no
feeling badly, is not fear, is not pray
er. confirmation, baptism or the like
it is to change your mind.
Conviction corresponds to the mill
tary term "Halt"; repentance tt
About" which is state of mind
conversion to Face" and faith tt
march, forward"
Some of the old soldiers gave thei
testimony. The meeting was theI
dismissed to meet again in the grea
street parade of this evening.
