lDLENEss AND CRIME.
A Plain Lesson from Last Years RECORD
of Murders Committed.


of Murders Committed.
The Troy Times publishes figures
showing that the homicides III this coun-
try reoorted III the newspapers in 1896
number 1862. as against 10000 in 1895
and $500 in 1894, and 6.615 N 1885. The
Times says: The number of murders
in the last three years has therefore
increased out of proportion with the
increase in population. ne reason for
this IS undoubtedly the hard times,
which has compelled idieness upon the
part of thousands, who, If employed,
would be kept out of mischief. IdIeness
begets drunkenness and pauperism and
directly or indirectly leads to crimes OF
all kinds, including homicide -
Correct. Idleness and crime have been
steadily increasing for many years.
Idleness begets crime. Legislation that
restricts trade, that contracts the cur
rency, that bestows special favors on
monopolies. begets idleness.
What are you going to do about it,

How about an extra session of con.

lit is absolutely certain that we
will have an extra session, and the

it is proba BILE that the extra session

BIMETALLISM.
Two Definitions of a Thing We Need. But
Haven't.

Two DennlG1OnS OF n ThinS We Need, But
Haven't.
A great many people do not know the
authentic definition of bimetallism.
Some think we now have bimetallism,
because silver dollars circulate and are
as good as gold. This is a mistake
Our money system at present is gold
monometallism supporting large body
of credit money, part OF which are the
silver dollars. Credit money is rot real
y money, but only promises money that
is real money, which now is gold only.
We give two definitions Of bimetallism,
the first from the Encyclopedia diction-
airy and the second by Lyman Abbott,
as follows:
:. ''B;metallism cannot exist unless
both metals are treated exactly alike
in the matter Of courage and given pre-
cisely the same Gebt-ray:ng power; in
other words. that the mere use of two
metals, as gold and silver, in the cur
rency does not constitute true bi1netal-
Iism." 2. "Bimetallism is the concur
rent use of the coins of the two metals,
gold and silver, at fixed relative value,
as the standard of ali other values. each
metal being equally legal tender for
any amount."-Illinois State Register.

Joining the church is in one sense q
very small affair. 1t makes no differ
ence whatever in your life in one
sense. 1t is simply the open confession
of what you already believe in your
soul. In another sense it is of the ut
most Importance. It means the open
alliance of your life's powers with
those whom you believe to be battling
on the right side in this great moral
conflict. 1t means that your influence
with men shall be for the right.-Rev.

our Everyday Lives

1t is the road we are travelling, the
everyday trend of our lives, which de-
cides our moral and spiritual quality.
The ends which we propose to our
selves are but points in our lives,
while life itself is made up OF the
means we take to further them. All
neglect of these means, all inditfer-
ence to them, all undue haste to get
through them, or to brush them aside
as tiresome or unimportant, must
therefore be fatal to the value of life
and the growth of character.-N. \.

LESSONS FROM EXPERIENCE.
What the Past Year Has to OFFER the
New One.


Welcome 1897!
The passing of 1896 will cause no
regret. 1t has not been prosperous
period for the nation. In its passage it
is hoped that it carries away with it
some of the dark clouds which have
lowered upon the prospects of trade and
manufacture.
But 1896 is rich in experience to the
entire American nation. We have felt
the touch of depression, the rigors of
hard times. We have learned that
the interests of all are bound up in
providing ample work for the toilers,
and in having the volume of money
increased to meet the needs of the
masses. We have learned the dan
gers of the combining of wealth, and
have been brought to realize that de-
preston must continue unless the ag-
gressions of the money power are
checked.
From the bitter experience of 1896
we enter 1897 wiser and more earnest
in the demand for the removal of the
evils which have brought prostration
to nearly every line of trade and manu-
facture.
Eighteen hundred and niney-six is
rich in lessons to those who live by poll
ties. 1t has taught them that the peo-
pie are not to be trifled with, and that
bold defiance of public will, and the
shrinking of duty, are certain to meet
with punishment.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-six has
taught the politicians that the people
are the masters, and that they are de-
termined to rule
Therefore, welcome to 1901 From
the bitter lessons of the past year, we
look with hope to the present one

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have q rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

You would not suppose there was

live where these animals abound de-
clare that they play tricks with folks

vania woman who can testify to this
fact. She went to visit neighbor .
mile distant, the path leading through

travelling q quartcr-mile, bear sud-
denly rose up on its hind feet in the
middle of the road ahead Of her.

lodged into by-path. She had
not gone another quarter-mile be-
fore n bear rose up in front of
her and pranced around. 1.-THE

marked to herself, Us she made bec-
line through the woods to the main
road. To her dismay, before she had
gone 100 yards on the road, there was
a big bear prancing like the other two.
At this sight her courage gave way
and she yelled, and the bear almost
fell over itself running through the
brush. The woman ran home, and in
o few minutes her husband and tho
hired man were out hunting the three
bears. In an hour they came back, and
the husband roared out: ''I'less You,
Mandy, there was just one bear, and

Dread Fire Of Tuesday Throws the City In
to tho Blacklist OF Mourning.
PARIS, May G.-This capital has been
thrown into the blackcst of mourning
by the terrible fire Tuesday In the
grand charity bazaar, when the wives
and mothers and sisters of many of the
oldest families in France met q horri-
bic death in the flames. Over 100
bodies have been recovered, and their
charred remains exposed for identifica-
ton. A somber feeling pervades every
class of society. The newspapers,
without exception, describe the dis
astcr ut the Grand Bazaar de Charlie
in sober and simple terms BETTING so
appalling an event The catastrophe
will always be remembered us one of
the most fearful that ever bcfell Eu-
ropcan city. Nothing comparable in loss
of life has ever occurred here, except
the fire which destroyed the Opera
Comiquc in 1857. Singularly enough,
that disaster happened in the same
month of the year, and so persons were
burned to death, while 45 were official
ly registered rs missing. II Is now
estimated that there were about 1,200
persons in the building when the fire
was discovered, about half of whom
escaped unhurt Some estimates place
the number Of dead ut 143, others Mt q
still higher figure.
