WASHINGTON, April fs.-[Special. i
There is great division of sentiment
among prominent Republicans hero MS to
the wisdom of the presidents appointment
of commission to go abroad to SEQ what
can be done in the matter of international
bimctallism. First it is important to know
the view of the administration in adoptinp
this policy. learn upon excellent author
ity that tho president is not really hopeful
that anything can be done, but he deems
1t his duty to put forth an effort. Not
only did tho ST. Louis platform promise
that this should BIO done, but tho prcsi.
dent recognizes the fact that millions of
American citizens believe in free silver
with or without international corporation.
Ho wants to convince this great class of
the people that he is not the enemy of any
progress that can be made along whole.
some lines. If tho other nations are in
such position that they can co cooperate with
us either to adopt the double standard or to
increase the use of silver, nothing can be
lost by giving them chance to join us.
Two Political Elements.
Among prominent Republicans ono view
is that the president is quito right in thus
attempting to satisfy the great middle
class of the silver men of tho country

sense of fairness of all but tho radical sill.

true bimctallists of the Republican party
in congress adopt this view of>tho matter
Another clement, tho gold standard Re

there had been so much talk of bimct:l-

II great majority of the people had begun
to look upon it not only us practical, but
desirable. When they wcro forced to think
about it by tho trend OF tho campaign of
1896, they discovered, or many of them
did, that any scheme for Il double standard

ing this commission, it is argued by this
wing, tho president has TO u great extent

paign. He has furnished u new argument
in favor of the practicability Of n double
standard. He has placed in the hands of
those who believe in it another weapon.
They can now say again, as they said dur
ing tho campaign, that if it is u desirable

digestion starves him in every tissue,

Bad digestion leads to consumption,
blood and skin diseases, and nervous ex-

Golden Medical Discovery corrects all
disorders of the digestion, invigorates the
liver and prevents and cures consunp-

LAWRENCE, KANSAS,
Dec Is. 1897

DEAR SIR: The University Geolog-
icsl Survey of Kansas, working under
Legislative authority, early In 1898 will
issue Report on the mineral indus
try OF Kansas, covering every product
obtained by any kind of mining, smelt-
ing, or quarrying operations The re-
port will be printed by the state and
will be for free distribution, the same
as the other reports of this Survey
Kansas for years has had an official
and accurate report of her agriculture
al and animal industries. 1t is now
proposed to make some what similar
report Of the mining industries.
In order to make this report COM
plete in every respect tie hearty CO.
operation of all interested citizens of
the state is solicited. Every interest
and every locality should bs properly
represented. Statistics regarding the
larger products, such ss coal, lead,
zinc, salt, etc, can readily be obtain
ed. But statistics on stone, clay, sand,
mineral paint, and all lesser products
can only be obtained by a generous
help from the individual citizens
Each county should also take pride
in reporting the productions of her
OVID, for to certain extent it will
be injurious to county to have but
fraction Of her output included in
the report.
The Importance Of this last state
ment will be seen when it is consid.
cred that these reports will be sent
all over the civilized world. There
should therefore be a true and def.
mite statement Of what each county
Fhas actually produced in 1897, Will
not every Interested citizen of ouI
whole, great state kindly assist me il
gathering these statistics by mailing
to me during the last week of Decem
Der or the first two weeks Of January
a complete report as above indicated

A Business Parable.

Once farmer had one thousand
eight hundred bushels OF wheat,
which he sold, not to a single grain
merchant, but to one thousand eight
hundred different dealers, a bushel
each. A few of them paid him IN
cash, but far the greater number said
it was not convenient then, but would
pay later. A few months passed, and
the mans bank account ran low
How is this?" he said. "My one
thousand eight hundred bushels of
grain should have kept me IN sfflu-
ence until another crop is raised, but
I have parted with the grain and
have instead only a vast number of
accounts, so small and scattered that
/ cannot get around and collect 1t
fast enough to pay expenses So he
posted up a public notice and asked
all those who owed him to pay quick
ly. But few came. The rest said,
"ATine is only a small matter, and I
will go and pay, one of these days, I"
forgetting that though each each &C.
count was very small, when all we're
put together they meant large sum
to the man. Things went on thus:
the man got to feeling so badly that
he fell out OF bed and awoke, and
running to his gransry found his one
thousand eight hundred bushels of
wheat still safe there. He had only
been dreaming, and hadn't sold his
wheat at all.
Moral-The next day the man
went to the publisher of his paper
and said: "Here, sir, is the pay for
your paper; and when next years
subscription is due you can depend
on me to pay it promptly. I stood in
the position of an editor last night,
and I know how it feels to have ones
honestly earned money scattered all
over the country in small amounts"
