Mr.. nCKinIey Moves,

The appointment by President
Mckinley of three commissioners
to an International monetary CON
ference may mean much; or it may
mean little, but on the surface it
shows that the executive believes
ia the declaration Of his party that
the gold standard should be main
tanned only so long as we can de
Gently get rid Of it and substitdts
bimetallism, says the Atlanta Con-
stitution. 1t shows, too, that the
only difference between Mr.. McKin-
ley and Mr.. Bryan on the money
question is one Of policy merely.
Mr.. Bryan and the democrats be-
lieve that the only road to inter
national bimetallism is through in
dependent action by the United
States, while Mr.. Mckinley and the
republicans believe (if their attitude
is to be relied on) that it will be
better to MAINTAIN the gold stand
ard, bad as it is, until there is an in
ternational agreement.
In pursuance Of this policy, Mr..
Mckinley has, having been author
lied by congress to do SO, appoint
ed three commissioners to negotiate
for international bimetallism Sen
ator E. 0. Wolcott, ex-Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson and Hon. g, J.
Paine.
Now the democrats have every
reason to view these proceedings
with perfect equanimity. They
mean that even Mr.. Mckinley and
his party have been compelled I'd
indorse the democratic contention
that the gold standard is i bad
thing, and that bimetallism is the
only true solution of our difficult
ties.
Should the effort to bring about
an international agreement succeed,
that will be a settlement OF the
financial question. Should it prove
to be farce, the democratic posi-.
tion will be impregnable, for the
party still maintains that the only
possible way of securing interna,
tlonal bimetallism is for the United
States to take independent action
and open their mints to the free
coinage of silver.
Thus it happens that whether the
proposed international conference
aceomplishes anything or5 nothing,
the democratic party will be the
gamer. For it has stood and still
stands for bimetallism and opposed
to the gold standard, for bimetal
lism, international or independent.
We shall not undertake at this
time to discuss the outcome of the
movement. But it is worth notilg
that if our commissioners are sent
abroad with no instructions what
ever-if they are to drum up a con,
terence and then have no definite
proposition to make-the confer
ence will be failure before Il a.
sembles.
If they haveno authority q ma,
or accept propositions-and tn
will have none unless eong
specially clothes them with I'LL -,
Mckinley may as well save the
country the useless expense Of d
European junket for three
On the other hand, the gold Or.

GRATIFYING RESULTS
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS WITH
THE NEW STOMACH REMEDY.
Not Patent Medicine, But Safe Cure

Not n Patent Medicine, But Safe Cure
for All Forms of Indigestion.
The results of recent investigation
have established, beyond question, the
great value of the new preparation for
indigestion and stomach troubles; 1t IS
composed of the digestive acids, pepsin'
bismuth, Golden Seal and similar stom-
achics, prepared in the form of 20 grain
lozenges pleasant to the taste, conVen-
lent to carry when travelling, harmless
to the most delicate stomach, and prob
ably the safest, most effectual cure yet
discovered for indigestion, sour stom-
ach, loss of appetite and flesh, nausea,
sick headaches, palpltation Of heart,
and the many symptoms arising from
imperfect digestion of food. They cure
because they cause the food to be
promptly and thoroughly digested be-
fore it has time to sour, ferment and
poison the blood and nervous system.
Over six thousand people in the state
of Michigan alone in 1894 were cured of
stomach troubles by Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Full sized packages may be found at
all druggists at Soc, or sent by mail on
receipt of price from Stuart Co., Mar
shall, Mich. Send for free book on
stomach diseases.

JEWISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
The Session Now Being Held in New

The Session Now Being Held in New
York.
New York, Dec. 3O.-The chief paper
read at the second days session of the
American Jewish Historical society's
meeting in this city to-day was by Leon
Hummer on New York Jews in the
Struggle for American Independence"
Mr.. Hummer had collected much materi-
al on the Individual records of New
York Jews in the Revolutionary war.
He said that a larger proportion of
them were more loyal to the American
cause than any other residents Of the
state; that the Jews of rs have for all
time answered the question, Can Jews
be patriots?"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hummer S
address there was some discussion on
the paper Of President Oscar S. Stratus,
read yesterday, in reference to the ten
lost tribes. AS to the authority for the
belief that the American Indians were
the lost tribes, DIR. Cyrus Adler said
that Montecinos was the first Jew to
originate the idea that the Indians were
descended from the lost tribes. DR..
Kohler said that, whoever was the first,
he must have derived his view from
Christian sources.
DR.. Leo Werner of Harvard related
some interesting folk stories from the
German in relation to the lost tribes,
which he had gathered during the last
year.

Miss Marie Studholme, whose American
admirers have dubbed her "the lily

Boston with "An Artists Model" and
is we'll liked here. A newcomer will
be Miss Minnie Hunt, the prima don
ma of the company who in addition to
a reputation for beauty has been warm

ments. DR.. Carr has given her many
opportunities for the display of these

THE TWO ORPHANS.

D'Ennery's great masterpiece of dra-
matte interest will be revived this after
noon at the Grand opera house, the en-
gagement being for to-day and to-mor-
row. Years ago, when first produced
in this country, 1t created the widest
excitement and interest. Many COM
panies We're formed and hundreds of
actors found long engag ements in its
Interpretation. The story of the two
sisters, one blind and helpless, the 9TH
er young and beautiful, was illustrated
with such a sympathetic touch of art
that it appealed to all. The situations
are thrilling, the abduction of the elder
daughter, the fate of the poor blind girl,
compelled to sing and beg in the open
streets, the cruelty Of Frochard, the
poor cripple Pierre, the handsome
Jacques-all are types Of Partisan life
The cast will be found an excellent one,
including Miss Kate Claxton, who has
played the part of Louise, the Blind
Girl, thousands of times.
There will be two matinees-to-day
and tomorrow, New Years.

sides being very pretty girls, they pay
particular attention to the dressing Of
their act, which demands costume:
very elegant and of decidedly origina
design.
