WILL STILL BE THE ISSUE.

It seems to be dawning upon the
minds of a number of Republican lead
ers that the demand for bimetallism
was not of Populist inspiration, and
that it was and still remains a deep
down conviction. 1t is in short, coming
TO be believed that something must
be speedily and emphatically done by
the incoming administration for the re-
instatement Of true bimetallsm. Along
with that conviction is the knowledge
that the defeat of the Republican party
over such an issue would probably
mean permanent retirement. Congress
astoniShed the house committee on
banking and currency the other day by
declaring that it would be dangerous
and might prove the first step TO finan-
cial if not socialistic revolution, TO grant
Carnegie. Phil Armour and A dozen
other multi-millionaires charter for an
international bank with branches, and
all with unlimited capital
The speech of Senator Chandler, pub
lished in the Eagle yesterday morning,
is another pointer. The senator did not
mince his words nor veil his convic-
tons. He simply held that the single
standard has got 10 so. or otherwise
that the party which attempts to main
tain it will 60 also. No political propo-
sition could be more clear in the face
of existing conditions and of disastrous
shrinkage. England drove the nail in
India, and Carlisle, at the beck Of Wall
street, clinched it in Washington. The
contest Is between the warm life-blood
of the people and the cold greed of ag
gregated wealth, and something is going
TO happen. The storm may be a terrific
one. but the plutocrat, not the people.
will be swept away by it.
Senator Hoar, another goldbug, is be-
ing criticised by New York and his own
Massachusetts papers for his admissions
on the floor of the senate week or so
ago. in which he declared that not only
America but that the people Of western
Europe are demanding the rehabilita-
ton Of silver. The senator is an old
man, but he may live To see il an ac-
compliShed fact. Senator Chandler in
warning the Republican party simply
desired 10 know what the next admin
istration proposes TO do.
The coming issue. an issue which viii

issue. and that involves the settlement
of the silver question. The declaration
that the last election settled the whole
matter is misleading, is untrue. There
IS no question which so interests the
entire people. A minority can be
squelehed, but a universal wrong can
not be compromised.

ABOUT MRS. BEECHER.

Thirty years ago Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher, then the wife OF the world
most famous preacher, was quoted
much as a progressive woman, yet one
who held to home duties. Later, she
wrote considerable for the magazines.
For years, however, her name has sell
dom or only incidentally appeared in
print. She now lies on her death-bed,
it is said. 1t will soon be the tenth an
niyersary of the death of her famous
husband. who died March s, 1887. Mrs.
RcecEer is now in her eighty fifth year.
He died in his seventy-fourth year. She
was his senior by one year at the time
of their marriage, she having met her
future husband through brother who
was classmate of Henry Wards at
Amherst. The fledgling minister bought
the wedding ring with the money he re-
ceived for his first public address. Their
struggles during the early years of
their married life have been preserved
in Mrs. Beecher's book, "FrOm Dawn
to Daylight; Simple Story of West
ern Home" It may truthfully be said
that much Of the husbands after sue
cess was due to the self-denial and
sympathy Of his wife in those days of
dawning ambition before the daylight
of fame.

Their Records Confront Them.

Tho Reno Journal says that during
the trials OF the mint robbers, year
or more since the Government
authorities made notes of the atti-
tude OF certain newspapers and men
concerning the prosecutions of the
thieves. These notes contain the
names of the men who seemingly
considered it no crime to steal from
the Government and extracts from
the newspapers, whose columns were
devoted to futile attempts to white
wash the mint administration when
silver bars were being substituted
for gold ones. These notes are now
said to be filed away in the archives
of the department. The Journal
thinks that this fact will defeat the
appointment of aay one to position
in the mint who was in any wise cor
nected with the robbery or defended
the thieves because of the services
they had rendered to the Republican
party.
If the Journals conclusions be
correct, President Mckinley will
find it difficult matter to fill the
placesin the mint frotn the ranks of
Nevada Republicans, as nearly all of
them disapproyed of the investjga-
tons and trials. that resulted in the
conviction of Heney and Jones, This

tice that would have Statutory effect

PROFESSIONS in THE WEST.
In the Good Old Days q Man Had


In the life of modern business COM
munity a man must beware of too much
wisdom, says the Chautauquan. The
specialist is the man who succeeds and
having once set his hand to an occupa-
ton one dare never leave it under pen
atty of failure in what he has chosen as
his life work. In the west all this was
different. Versatility was q necessity.
The successful man must know how to
do many things. The gleanings Of any
one field of activity were too small to
afford living of themselves. This fact
was accepted by the citizens of the
country, sometimes with grim humor
which marked the west.
A young lawyer in a western town
had out n sign which read: John
Jones, attorncy-at-law. Real estate and
insurance. Collections promptly attend
ed to at oil hours of the day or night.

dow the legend: "Wall paper and mar

commodities for which there was a
very small demand. One of the prom
inent citizens Of such town was a
gambler, farmer, fighter and a
school teacher all in one, There seemed
to the minds of the inhabitants of the
country nothing incongruous in this
mixing up of occupations, it being
taken for granted that man would
endeavor to make living in the ways
for which he seemed best fitted.

How 1t Tore n Scottish Army Omcer's
Clothing to Fragments.
"A most remarkable example, of the
terrible effects of lightning stroke
is described in the London Graphic.
Maj. Jameson, formerly of the Scot
fish Rifles, accompanied by his father
and mother, went into q meadow to
pick mushrooms. Maj. Jameson was
some distance in front. and there was
a single clap of thunder and flash of
lightning, which frightened Mrs. Jane
son, and she and her husband went into
a wood land returned to the house, ex-
pecting that Maj. jameson would fol-
low. ...
About half an hour later Maj. Jane
son was found by game keeper, ly-
ing on his face in the field quite dead.
Around him, in radius of several yards,
were his clothes and boots, which had
been torn and scattered about in an
extraordinary manner. The lightning
appeared to have struck Maj. Jane
sen on the right side of. the head, tear
ing the cap he was wearing to pieces,
and burning his hair off. 1t then
passed inside his collar, down the front
Of his body and both legs, into his boots,
which were torn to atoms, and then
passed into the ground, tearing hole
about 18 inches in circumference and
three inches deep.
The deceased mans collar was torn
into 100 pieces, none larger than six
pence, the front of his jacket was rent
into ribbons, and the jacket and under
vest literally torn to shreds, and the
linickerboclSers he was wearing were
stripped off and scattered on the
ground. Maj. Jameson's stockings and
CATERS were similarly torn in pieces,
and on the boots the lightning had a re-
1narkable effect.

RELATIONSHIPS.
so1EH IArrD REGARDING THE
RARID aRJCREAsE OF
HEART TROUBLE.
DO Not be Alnrned but Look for tho
Cause.

-
~ Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
TO the excitement and worry of Amer
loan business life, it is more often the
result OF weak stomachs, of poor di-
gestion.
Real, organic heart disease is in
durable; but not one case in humid
red OF heart trouble, ls organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branch.
es OF the same great nerves, the Sym
pathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is
affected by that form of poor diges-
ton, which causes gas and fermenta-
ton from half digested food; there is
a. feeling of oppression and heaviness
IN the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with. their action;
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also po;sons the
blood, makes it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible, treatment for
heart troubles is to improve the di-
gestion and to insure the prompt as
similation of food.
This eau best be done by the regu.
lar use after meals, of some safe,
pleasant and effective digestive pre-
paration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain vaiu-
able, harmless digestive eleneots, in
a pleasant, conve oient form.
1t Is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use Of Siuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form Of stomach trouble, except. can
Ger of the stomach.
