Silver goes up and down. It may
go lower than it is Dox, but that
does not affect the silver money
question. The fact that Japan has
stopped buying the metal may count
for something, and then the gradual
ban placed upon it in this country
during the course of years tinally
has its effect Silver will come up
again in time.
SILVER STILL THE ISSUE
The campaign of 1900 will de-
volvs on the money question, and the
issue involved will be whether the
government shall continue to Issue
paper money CT turn that function
over to the banks. I think I fairly
represent the leading silver men of
the country in saying that the silver
forces will oppose ths retirement of
the greenbacks and treasury notes
and the turning over of this form of
money to the banks. I believe the
big fight in Congress next winter
will bs over this money question.
THE House may pass such bill
as will carry the change into effect,
not because majority of the mem
bers believe in it, perhaps. but be,
causs the Administration wants it
done. It is hard to cay what the
Senate will do.
Il think the silver forces will all
get together in the next national
campaign. and the party name will
undoubtedly be democratic. Bryan
stands as good, if not better,
chance than any one else of being
the nominee for President, The
social democracy OF Debs I don't
know much about. Debs. I think, is
a good deal Of a dreamer, although
/ have never met him. Nothing il
ever going to be accomplished in
this country by the turning upside
down of the social structure, and
thoughtful people will not heed
such schemes.

Never Satisfied.

What great topsy- y-turvy world it is
No one appears to be more than half salts
fed with his or her individual lct, the rich
want to be richer, the poor ar, ambitious
to be rich, the single long to be mated
happily, while those matrimonially Joined
alas all to often envy the spinisters and
bachelors. Unrest seems to be the kew
note OF fin de steele existence, and there is
apparently but one state that is altogether
enviable and without ambitions that clov.
namely the state of ignorance.
Yet why should one want to go through
the world absolutely unconscious of its op-
portunities, even though such opportuni-
ties elude our grasp at every turn. Learn
contentment and life assumes an entirely
new and pleasing phase The woman who
writes to us and says / am tied at home
by the the cares of my two baby daughters,
never go anywhere, never see any one,
my life is hum-drum, does not realize
that in that existence so-called hum drum
she is out of many tragedy that results
from the other sort of living she so much
envies.
The home body, the wife and mother
whose sphere is limited by the walls of the
nursery and whose gayety extends only to
an occasional church -seciable, has no idea
in her discomfort that she is absolutely
enyied by the gay butterfly who finds social
ambition the bane of her existence. Little
Mrs. Stay lat Home looks out the window
and sees the prancing steeds of Mrs. Lofty
before the great mansion across the way
and she sighs and perhaps picks up the
youngest hopeful with just the slightest
tinge OF impatience in her manner, never
knowing that Mrs. Lofty would give every
earthly possession to have baby voice call
her mother.
"What are dances, teas, fiae gowns and
gorgeous functions, she thinks 'in com
parison with the bliss so bountifully be-
slowed upon the little neighbor with her
loving husband and sunny haired babies?"
All, no. Mrs. Stay-at- Home, you cannot
know the heart ache and the pain that fall
to the lot of those whom you so ardently
long to be like. In your sheltered harbor
you cannot even imagine the dangers that
assail the vessel that is outside on the rag
ing waters. The very nature of the life
you long for means temptations that you
do not dream of, and the destruction of
many tender illusion that viii be yours
life long Do not envy that other lot; it
is you who are to be enyied, for, no mat
ter how dull the days may seem to you,
they are not, as too often happens in Mrs.
Lofty's life, capped by regret, remorse,
and knowledge that she has reaped har-
vest only of Dead Sea fruit

An Underground Lodge Room.
From the st. Louis Globe-pemocnt

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
One of the strongest and most resource
ful lodges of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows in the State of Tennessee is
Gap Greek Lodge, No. 72, which has for
its lodge room a large cave in Carter county,
eight miles east of johnson City So fas-
cinating is the home of this lodge that
some members of the order in nearby
towns have transferred their membership
to it.
Gap Greek Lodge has been holding its
meetings in this cave for more than year,
having rented the subterranean chamber
from its owner, Dr. Nathaniel Hyder,
The lodge has membership Of rs, which
includes many of the best men in Carter
county.
This strange lodge room is located in an
elevated strip of woodland. The entrance
to it faces the east, and on approach it
presents sombre appearance, which might
be considered typical of mysteries that are
known only in the hearts of the faithful
members of the great secret order. From
the entrance it is II feet down an incline
stairway to the first chamber-the ante
room. This chamber is IA by Is feet
and has been provided with all the neces-
sary equipments to make it desirable
room in which to prepare candidates for
initiation into the order To the rear Of
this chamber is an opening, and II feet
further down, on an angle of 40 degrees,
is the lodge room proper This chamber
is Is by so feet The walls are almost
perpendicular to height of s feet.
While when viewed through the en-
trance from without, these chambers pre-
sent dark and mysterious appearance,
light is nevertheless so reflected from the
outer entrance as to penetrate both cham
bers, so illuminating the lodge room that
no artificial light is required by day.
