SILVER'S FALL.
1t Comes From Natural Causes as
Does That of Gold.

The fall in the price of silver is SIM
ply on account Of the cheapening OF
the production of that metal
AS the drill now finds the ore and
dynamite skaters the rocks and ma.
chimes crush them and steam trans
ports them-low grade ores become
comparatively rich in results and the
average cost Of a ton Of silver not more
than one-four or fifth OF what 1t was
formerly. OF course. silver falls.
Will the same influences have the
same effect on gold? Certainly. Cali
fornia's part in the history Of the world
proves that.
Gold is now being produced at lower
rates and In greater abundance than
ever, and It is labor and not capital
that will get the 6rst dividends from
the slow, sure rise in prices. on account
Of the cheapening Of the production of
gold.

not strengthen but is weakness.

He had to be piloted from the new

Campaign's Decoy Duck.
Columbus, O., Oct. 5.

Columbus, o., Oct. 5.
For the first time in IL years John
r, Mclean has come to the city Of
Columbus.
For the first time in his lifetime he
has appeared at the Democratic state
headquarters. Inasmuch as he Is
paying the bills Of the present Demo-
cratic state headquarters, it would ap-
pear that he has special right to
come to them at this time.
1t was in the year of the ballot-box
forgeries in Cincinnati and Columbus.
1885, at time when Mclean first
: tried to buy his way into the United
States senate, that he came to Colum-
bus the last time previous to his pres
ent visit.
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1897-10-07

The conference at the Great South
ern hotel, where the Mclean head
q. .ers are located, was a spir-
tied seance. General Warner and
Candidate Chapman were there to
file objections to the way O'Myers
was running things, and they
had a kick coming on Chairman
McConville, and they objected to the
pernicious activity of Ross. AS these
three men are running the Demo-
cratic state committee and as they are
McLean's own appointees, these emil
nent patriots had right to think
that Mclean could control them. Nc
Lean read the riot act to McConville
and Ross but he did not stir up
O'Myers too much for as Allie says
in his book, he knows too many
things that he has not yet told and
Mclean does not want them told at
this time. O'Myers prefers to keep
silence if they will let him and says he
expects summer house from Mclean
and the oil inspectorship from Chap
man for his fortitude.
Chapman has right to object to
Ross and his presence about the head
quarters. Chapman was no sooner
nominated than Ross was damning
the ticket and publicly in the conven-
tion hall threatened to bolt. When
Billy Williams advised Ross to shut
his face" and keep still he absolutely
refused, but continued to- paint the
air with ultra marine with his choice
remarks about Chapman and the
whole ticket.
Mclean refused to be interviewed
while in Columbus. A local Demo-
cratic newspaper says that Mclean
said to some one who did see him,
whom no one knows, that he was not
a candidate for the United States SEN
ate but was candidate for the next
Democratic nomination for vice presi-
dent. AS If that bettered the situation
any, even if Mclean said it, which he
did not.
Do the people of Ohio want Mclean
for vice president any more than they
do for senator?
John r. Mclean for vice president,
think of 1t!
And when he is elected vice presl-
dent a coat of arms is to be placed
above the vice presidents chair made
up Of forged rs and SIS, would be the
most appropriate thing that could be
devised.
But no, Mclean is candidate for
the United States senate. If the Dem
ocrats carry the general assembly he
has enough votes pledged to give him
the caucus nomination. II the Repub-
cans control the general assembly Nc
Lean will cause poor old General War
ner to be the sacridcial candidate, and
he himself will then wait for that vice
/ presidency in 1900.
In the meantime Chapman continues
to play the part of stool pigeon for
the Mclean senatorial boom. Chap
man is the decoy duck of the campaign

At that time he came in his private
car in the nighttime and left in the
nighttime. 1t was at time in his
history when darkness was especially
valuable for him to visit the capital
city. He had been expending money
with a lavish hand in order to foist
himself into the United States senate.
His plans were so farreaching that
they finally extended to the forgeries
In Columbus and Cincinnati, and for
time it looked as if even Cincinnati
would be too warm a place for him
to stay. 1t was two years after that
he removed to Washington, where the
law allows him to reside indefinitely
without acquiring legal residence.
But his recent trip to Columbus and
to the Democratic headquarters was
not without its significant as well as
ludicrous features. After he alighted
from his private car he was in a
strange city, the capital of his own
state.

ADVENT.

Tomorrow Is the fiFst Sunday of Advent.
This day always falls on the Sunday
nearest the feast of ST. Andrew. The
word advent comes from the Latin and
means the coming. Its first observance
is lost in history. some writers claiming
that ST. Peter ~inausurated it, while Others
give the honor to Pope Gregory the Great.
In former years it was a season of fast
and abstinence as also prayer as a
means of preparation TO fittingly celebrate
the feast of the Nativity, just as Lent
is TO the Resurrection. Fasts, however,
are rapidly disappearing and Advent is
mainly given up to devotional exercises.
In all Catholic churches throughout the
world services will be held for the next
three weeks both day and night, and
elaborate preparations made for the cele-
bration Of the great event which is COM
memorated on December 25.
The first Sunday of Advent also marks
the beginning of the ecclesiastical year..

En- a Jungle.

These forests are among the wonderful
thing of the earth. They are immense in
extent, and the trees which form them
grow so close together that they tread on
one another's toes. All are dashed and
bound and relashed into one huge mag
nificent tangled net by the thickest under
wood anr the most marvellous parasitic
human being can force his way through
this maze of trees and shrubs and thorns
and plants and creepers, and even the
great beasts which dwell in the Jungle
find their strength unequal to the task,
and have to follow game paths, beaten
out by the passage OF iniiumerable animals
through the Understand deepest parts of
the forest. The branches cross and re-
cross. and are bound together by count
canopy overhead, through which the fierce
sunlight only forces a partial passage, the,
struggling rays feclxing the trees on
which they fall with little splashes of
light and color. The air hangs heavy
as remembered sin,'s and the gloom Of a
great cathedral is on every side. Every
thing is damp and moist, and oppressive.
The soil and the cool deal leaves under
foot are dank with decay and sodden to the
touch. Enormous fungous growths
flourish l~uxuriantl.f, and over all, during
silence as of the graveyard. Though
these jungles tenn with life, no living
thing is to be seen, xiav the busy ants, a
few brilliantly col3rad butterflies and in
sects, and an occa iolal nest of bees high
up in the tree tops Al little stream rfpples
its way over the pebbles of its bed, and
makes a hun1mirEy mnrn1ur In the dis
lance; a faint breeze sweeping over the
forest gently SWAPS the upper branches
