THE New York Tribune observes
that cargoes aggregating AZ, 900 tons
are on their way to San Francisco by
sea; but it discovers nothing more in
the fact than a poetical interest in a
revival CT the romance which used to
be associated with q trip around the
Horn. Under the circumstances the
prOsaic Pacific coaster will Concede
the poetry or anything else as long
as it will keep the cost of trans
portation down TO something like a
decent tiguIc.

A True Story.

One evening an old couple came
over to spend q part Of the evening
with us, and as we were seated
around the fire the old lady told US
of q celebrated murder that had hap
pened in the town where she had
lived for years, and as she had been
personally acquainted with the par
ties concerned, was able to relate to
Us even the most minute details.
After she had finished and we had
spoken Of the many strange points Of
the case, the old man Strengthened
himself out and slowly said.
"Well, I vii! now tell You a true
story"
The feelings Of the lady can bet
ter be imagined than described

1T HAS TWO EDGES.

The Journal Press turns the argu-
ments of the Bryanites for 1896 back
upon the Bryanites of 1897 very perth
nently. 1t says:
A farmer borrowed 500 of a banker
when wheat was adollar q bushel. 1t
took twice as much wheatto buythe
500 when the loan was paid as when
it was made. In other words the bank
er got twice as much wheat for his
money as did the farmey. There can
be no doubt this this state of affairs
was brought about by the conspiracy
OF the bankers, whose only purpose in
life is to rob the farmers. And the
weapon used by the bankers was the
'icrime of '13. p" when silver was de-
monitized.
This was the burden of the song
sung by Bryan, PETER, Donnelly,
Towne & Co., last year. Now suppos-
ing farmer last year had borrowed
$100 of a banker. For this sum the
banker could have bought 200 bushels
of wheat. The farmer pays the note
this year. and the banker can now
only buy 100 bushels of wheat with
this same 800. Now the question
arises have the farmers entered into a
conspiracy to rob the bankers, and if
so, why is the banker equally we'll

state of affairs? Does the banker en-

If the hard times forced upon this
country by the Democrats was good
thing for the bankers, why did great
majority try to bring nbout the change
which has started the wheels of pros

bankers could force the price of wheat
down to fifty cents, and thus make
oceans of money for themselves, why

Mysterious Glass Balls.

The small island of Billion, between
Sumatra and Borneo, has long been fa-
nous for its rich tin mines, which are
controlled by the Dutch government. In
describing the geology of Billion be-
fore the Royal Academy of Sciences in
Amsterdam recently Mr.. Verbeek gave
IN account of the mysterious "glass
balls of Billiton,'' which are found
among some of the tin ore deposits
They are round, with grooved surfaces.
Similar balls are occasionally found in
Borneo and Java, as we'll as in Aus
tralia. Mr.. Verbeek thinks they cannot
be artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory that
they are volcanic bombs. Besides, he
says, the glass; rocks produced by the
nearest volcanoes are quite different in
their nature from the material Of the
balls. He suspected that the mysterious
objects were elected ages ago from the
volcanoes of the moon and afterward
fell upon the earth.
