No Free silver Bimetallism.

The free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, when it does not preserve its parity
with gold, cannot be a condition in true
bimetallism because in its effect it is
directly antagonistic to the system.
Whenever practiced it always results
in recommendation, and silver at that.
Such is the case now in all silver coun-
tries, as Mexico and China, and such
was the case in the United States in the
40 years prior to 1894.

In the early days of the republic
our ministers to foreign countries

They wished to emphasize abroad
that clothes do not make the man

themselves from Europe and took
a new road, marked out by the Dec

The decision OF Magistrate Rich
ards in the case against Jacob
Werrle, the saloonkeeper at State
and Oak streets, New Albany,
charged with violating the liquor
laws, in which the defendant was
fined $25, the decision carrying
with it the revoking Of his liquor
license is, it is said, the first in
stance in the state, in which a IL
quor license has been revoked un-
der the provisions of the Nicholson
law.
The Nicholson law, which is the
state law governing the sale of in
toxicating liquors, was enacted in
1895, and contains a provision that,
when any person is convicted Of .
violation Of any Of the provisions of
the law second time, in any court,
whether OF limited jurisdiction or
not, the court may revoke his Ii
cense, and upon third conviction
the court shall revoke his license.
This was Mr.. Werrle's third oliense
and there remained to Magistrate
Richards but one alternative-to re-
woke the license.
The case will be appealed to the
circuit court, and will, in all proba-
bility 60 to the supreme court. As
the supreme court has never yet
rendered decision on this particu-
lar provision of the law, progress
of the case viii! be watched with .
great deal of interest, both by the
liquor dealers and those opposed to
the liquor traffic throughout the
state.
The law on the subject is plain
enough, the only question being on
the constitutionality of the law.
There has been shown q decided
disposition on the part Of the In
diana supreme court since the much
talked-of Nicholson law was enact
ed, to uphold temperance legisla-
ton, and every section Of that law
that has been passed upon has been
approved.
While in the light of the recent
decisions of the supreme court on
laws governing the sale Of intoxica-
ting liquors, there seems to be
unanimity Of opinion among the
leading New Albany attorneys that
the law would stand the test in the
court when license was revoked by
the circuit court, but they agree
that a strong point can be raised in
he present case, where the decision
was rendered by magistrate, on the
ground that this section Of the law
gives him more authority than is
by the constitution of the
'tate.-Louisville Dispatch.

1896 by Silver Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans must be in
creased by additions largely from
the Republican party; when it is
remembered that out of these allied
forces of '96 the possibilities and
necessities of the future may bring
into the field Of American politics a
new force with an increased power,
the importance OF our organization
and the work to be done will be ap-
preciated.

CONDUCTED BY MRS. NJ. l.. HOBBS
METAPHYSICAL ANATOMY.

The anatomist is one skilled in
dissecting bodies-seI ,arating the
brain, muscles, bones and other
parts Of the physical organism and
defining their offices in the body.
Webster says: "The natural
division of things that exist is into
body and mind, things material and
immaterial. The former belongs TO
physics, and the latter to the science
of metaphysics" Then he who
can dissect or separate the mind or
immaterial man and define his parts
is properly a metaphysical anato-
mist. We have many able profes-
sors of this science in our pulpits of
to-day. They take the immaterial
or metaphysical man and separate
him, putting his religion on one
corner of the dissection table, his
social parts on another, and his pol
itics on another, and when thus dis
sected his religion is pronounced
evangelical. His social qualities
may be lecherous, his financial ten
denotes covetous and his politics
corrupt, but he passes muster if his
religion is evangelical from the
church standpoint Of the church to
which he belongs. These profes-
sors do not consider the immaterial
man as a whole, but in the abstract,
and as he may have evangelical re-
ligion, lecherous morals and corrupt
politics, it is deemed wise not 10
mix religion and politics. This
system of theological or netaphysi-
cal anatomy may be more fully IL
Illustrated by reciting the case of the
old college professor who has a class
of students studying entomology.
The students concluded to test the
knowledge of their professor, and
one day brought into the recitation
room the head of a beetle, the leg
Of glasshopper and the wing of a
large ant, and said: Professor,
we have found a new bug and
brought him in to have him named. "
The professor, adjusting his micro
scope, proceeded to examine the
head, and laid it out on the table,
hen the leg and laid it out, and
hen the wing and laid it out, and
hen remarked: Gentlemen, this
head, and this leg, and this wing
never belonged to the same bug, and
therefore we call him "Humbug."
The man with evangelical religion,
echerous society and corrupt poll
les is Humbug, these qualities
never being simultaneously found
N the same individual.
One of the old prophets was called
IN to "Cry aloud and show the
lords people their transgressions
md the house of Jacob their SINS"
ret they sought the Lord daily, and
ook delight in approaching to God.
I is prevailing error that if man
s found seeking the Lord by prayer, {
ong, etc. he is evangelical, notwith-
tanding his short comings on other
points.
Paul writes to his son Titus of ,
hose who "plofess to know God,
,ut deny Him i'm works, being in ,
very good work void of judg- ,
nent." The same apostle exhorts
hat whatsoever We do in word or
