gage Because 1t Excludes Silver.
FoRT SCOTT, Kan, July 2.-Samuel
Webb Pyle, local populist who was
,ecently appointed guard in the peni-
tertiary by Gov Leedy, mortgaged his
farm in 1892 to Mrs. Abbie II. Trask,
through the Lombard Investment Co
of Kansas City. The mortgage calls
for payment in gold. Besides alleging
that the words gold" were inserted
by forgery during the campaign of 1896,
he maintains that the gold provision
makes the mortgage invalid because
it excludes payment in silver which is
legal tender,

Nowadays when women are trying
to do everything it is not strange
that many things are overdone. 1t
is not strange that there are all
kinds of physical aud mental dis
turbances. If the woman who is a
doctor, or lawyer, or a journalist,
or in business would not try to be a
society woman, too, it might be diff
ferent; but the woman who knows
when she has done q days work has
yet to be born. Usually a woman's
way is to keep doing until she drops.
Working in this way has manifold
evils. The most common trouble re.
sulting from over exertion, either
mentally or physically, is constipa.
tion OF the bowels, with all its at.
tendant horrors.

course, to contingencies that may arise,

cratic community compelled to pay
tribute to the new feudal lords OF the

II our calculation is correct, we must

prepare for it. II they we're dealing

Flirting with BImetallists.

The sold Lady OF 1hreaduaehle Street"
Flirting with Bimetallists.
London, Eng, Sept. 1.-THE West,
minister Gazette, this afternoon, in its
financial article, comments up the
letter of the governor of thu Bank of
England, Hugh g. Smith, to the Chan.
relor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks Bench, announcing that the bank
is prepared TO carry out what is par.
missible in its chatter, namely to hold
in silver one-fifth of the bullion held
against its note issue, provided always
that the French mint is again open to
tho free coinage Of silver and that the
price at which silver is procurable and
Halable are satisfactory. 1t says:
Although the governors statement 8
perhaps meaningless SO far as practice
ia concerned, it is to be deeply deplored
that tue bank has budged from its
principle. 1t is not dignitied for the
'Old Lady of Threadneedle street TO
flrt with the bimetallio faddists. We
want gold against our notes, and there
is no reason why an old statute, passed
when silver bore an entirely different
character should be refurbished at the
bidding of hose who want to disuose
of silver. If the threat is carried out,
what would happen is exempliiied by
the statement of the trustee, who de.
clares he would feel compelled to sell
his bank stock and SO close risk. !"
The st. James Gazette says: "The
scheme seems to be knocked on the
head for the present, but the reception
of even this feeble announcement in the
city will have an effect anything hut
favorable to the hImetallists.
Tho Globe. joining in the discussion,
has this to say 1.-The whole scheme is
iunoyating and misch:evous. If, as
should have been done, the proposals
of tho United States and France had
bean handed TO the directors without
official recommendations or pressure it
can scarcely DO doubted that the
directors would have firmly declined to
further the project. "
