Changing silver Into Gold.

Professor Emmons one of the most
skilled metallurgists in the country,
claims that in the reduction of silver the
molecules are so subdivided as to differ
so materially from that metal that they
can no longer be regarded as the same
substance, but new one and apparently
the parent of both gold and silver, or
the raw material out of which by q diff
ferent arrangement of molecules either
gold or silver is constructed Working
on this theory, he finds that this new
metallic substance can be aggregated
into molecules of greater density than
silver and precisely corresponding with
gold in color, in weight, so as to answer
to every test of the United States mint
as gold In fact, he says it is gold,
though manufactured from silver, of as
much purity and value as that ever OBJ
tanned III any other way With further
experiments on a large scale he expects
that the process Of manufacturing gold
from silver will be very materially
cheapened. AT present he gets about
four ounces of gold from six of silver.
This would seem to indicate that the
present number Of elements as we'll as
our chemistry of metals would have to
be revised if Professor Emmons is not
mistaken in his sexperiments.--J

France Compliments the English.

An Englishman, though generally
thick skinned, does not take in an in
different way the revilements he re-
oeives from major part of the French
press. An article in Macmillan's Maya
zine entitled French and English" :"
complains Of the treatment:
In their loudly expressed loathing of
the unknown country across the channel
they forget their legitimate revenge,
and they would pretend to fold the Ger
man to their breast, as they long since
welcomed his beer, if by the pretense
they could put another insult upon the
loathed island. For them the English
man is veritable bogy-a composite
monster, with the NAV of the ostrich,
the beak of hawk, the claws of a tiger,
the manner of a clergyman and the
cunning of an ape. This terrific crea-
ture, says the French journalist, roams
up and down the world, impeled only
by the lust of plunder and of blood, bat

Above all, this shameless hy brid is alert
If the sun never sets on his empire, his
eye never closes in sleep, and ever from
beneath his dropping lid he espies some
fresh occasion for ruin and outrage. To
his impious ingenuity no limit is set.
He is capable of organizing the manu-
facture of dynamite and of betraying
his own nlot that France NAV trem hle
for the safety of her czar. Not long
since halfpenny print, in search of "a
headline, announced the murder of the
sultan, and, declared the Partisan jour-
mails, the falsehood was plainly invented
by England, that monster personified,
with the deliberate intent to shake the
peace Of Europe.

One Must he the Superior.

In any living organization the supreme
power never dies. The king never dies,
and against the possibility of the presi-
dent dying we have made an elaborate
provision, which sufficiently speaks for
tho danger it seeks to avoid. But in the
slow moving action of the huge organ
lsms that we call nations and govern
ments there is time enough for kings
and presidents to sleep, to be Off guard
whereas, in the rapid movements of
ships and the frequent sudden vicissi-
tude of sea life the captain-the cap
taln's power-cannot sleep. 1t is plain
to say his person must No more than
the proverbial switch tender can he, as a
habit, be on duty 20 hours out of the
"a. Hence arises the necessity for the
watch officer, who is in charge of the
deck and vested while SO with all the
captains power for the conduct of that
which goes on on deck or pertains to the
direction. He holds this control not be-
cause he is the captain or lieutenant by
grade and title, but because of the office
he is then filling. Is this considered an
extravagant claim-unlimited?
And as it is OH deck so it is in the Ell
gine room. The man in charge there,
himself in his sphere, exercises control
as absolute as the captain and the officer
OF the watch--like them absolute, like
them limited. But there are two on
duty at the same time-the deck officer
and the engine officer, the directive and
the motive forces. The unity of result
demands that they be not independent.
One must be the superior, and it must
be the one who has charge of the direct
i've force, as that which is the more es-
sential TO the safety and government of
the vessel; not because the one man is
superior to the other man, but because
the one power is more important than
the other. Captain A. T. Mahan, u.
q. N, in North American Review.

BraZiI'a JunEIes.

The jungles of Central America and
Brazil are masses of vegetation so dense
that it is practically impossible to pene.
trate them. Swain and his party, when
crossing the isthmus of Darien, labored
hard with their hatchets and machetes
the whole of one day and achieved but
half mile. In many parts of Central
America the underground renews itself
SO rapidly that it is almost impossi BILE
to keep road open through it. In ole
instance, in Honduras, road 10 feet
wide was made by engineers and
laborers through jungle. the under.
brush and vines being cut away even
with the ground. Two weeks later re-
turning TO complete the work by laying
stones on the roadbed, they could rot
find the road, the vines having COM
pletely filled the vacant space.

A New Danger to Firemen.

AT recent fire in tho basement of a
Chicago electric power house the fire.
men had great trouble in getting at the
blaze. They had to chop holes in the
floor of the dynamo room before they
could get a stream on the blazing pile
OF waste. Not waiting for the dynamos
to be shut down, they orept through the
black smoke and turned stream on the
flames. In an instant they were flung
to the ground with great violence, and
the hose was sent flying into the air. A
heavy current had passed along the
stream and had shocked them. Though
unconscious when rescued, they quickly
recovered. Electrical Review.

The Scientific Mind.

At the Vagabonds' dinner Sir John
Robinson said he remembered in 1870,
when the air was full Of war and the
news intelligence thrilling, he met a
man of science who asked, Ny dear
fellow, when are you going to give us
something of interest in the papers
something about sun spots:" This was
not a scientific joke, Sir John assured
his audience, but an actual symptom of
that mans mental condition. West

The wind of Hampstead heath still burns lnJ

As, home returned, muse and see arise
Those rounded hills beneath tho low, gray
skies,
With CLEANS of haze Tapped cities far to seek.
These can picture. but how fitly speak
OF what might not be seen with searching

And all beyond the listening ear that lies,
Best known to bards and seers in times antiuue7
The winds that of the spirit rise and blow
Kindle my thought and shall for many a day,
Recalling what blithe presence filed the place
OF one who oftentimes passed up that way,
By garden close and lane where boughs bend
low,
Until the breath Of Hampstead touched his
face.

important Change.

On April 1st we will turn over
new leaf and make an important
change in the manner of conducting
our business.
Commencing on and after April
1st, all goods will be sold for CASH
ONLY.
We have for some time past care
fully considered this plan. We have
weighed the advantages; also the
disadvantages, and we believe it is a
step in the right direction and in
harmony with modern merchandis
ing and low, popular prices.
1t will benefit both the buyer and
seller.
1t will enable us to make very
low prices.
We expect to sell SO cheap that
parties will have no reason to send
out of town for any goods we carry.
The spot cash, low price system of
doing business is fast supplanting
the old longtime high priced system
and we are anxious to test the matter
and demonstrate whether the buying
public will support a frst-class cash
store.
The 1st of April We Adopt a
Strictly Cash System.
For the present we quote few
special, spot cash prices:
Package coffee. -. Zoe worth 25c
Five lbs. lard .55c Csc
Ten a" -. ..$1.00 "s1.25
Twenty lbs. lard :. 100 $50

A SAUL OF TARSUS.

Albert Baxter, now of Muskegon, but
for more than twenty years the manag
ing editor of the Grand Rapids Eagle
and Republican of the strictest sect, is
out in letter repudiating the gold
standard, (which adds to the stores Of
unearned wealth and to the burdens OF
comparative poverty" Our present
money standard, he declares, sis a
standing and growing oppressor of the
world and sin and crime against
humanity, which should be reformed, OF
a better one invented. The more the
nations are combined for it, the worse il
grows and testers. 1t is the great financial
cancer" Political thought has, indeed,
been revolutionized when such dyed,
in-the-wool Republican as Mr.. Baxter is
found repudiating the leading dogma Of
his party-the plank upon which it
carried the election last fall. Like all
true currency refolmers, Mr.. Baxter
favors return to the bimetallic-coinage
system which existed from the tounda.
ton of the government down to the
decentralization of silver in 1873. And
there are thousands on thousands ol
other men in Michigan who voted with
the Republican party last fall, and who
are acting with it now, who are as strong
ly opposed to the dishonest gold stand
ard dollar as is Mr.. Baxter. But they
were and are so befogged in the protec
ton mist that they sacrificed and are
still sacrificing currency truth for the
sake of tariff error. Not always, how.
ever, will they be thus blind. Like
Saul of Tarsus, Mr.. Baxter has "seen a
great light" and so, in time, will thou
sands on thousands of his fellow Republi
cans see the folly of making the currency
secondary to the tariff question.-Grand
Rapids Mich Democrat.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-01-21
A DEPRESSING CURTAIN RAISER

At last it seems TO be dawning on the
minds OF Eastern goldites that there is
something wrong with the "sound
money" system that the Republican
platform declared should be maintained,
and that the goldites prophesied would
Immediately bring about confidence"
and prosperity" should the people
elect Mckinley President. The New
York World, an able assistant in secur-
ing the election of Mckinley, is alarmed
at the delay in the return of the chariot
of prosperity, and charges that McKin-
ley is responsible. 1t says;
"The failure of twenty-five banks with
in fortnight, with all the injury to
business and the distress of individuals
which this implies, does not seem to
have made any impression upon Mr..
Mckinley and his friends. They are
thinking, planning and acting with a
view to two things only--a higher
tariff and speedy division of the Of
fees.
."During the campaign Mr.. Mckinley
frequently repeated the preposterous
partisan platitude that our currency sys-
tenn, created by the grand old Republican
party, was the best in the world, and
must be kept so. And yet every stu
dent of finance, and, indeed, every in
telligent business man, knew that this
chaotic System" with its nine kinds Of
currency, all based like big pyramid
standing on its apex, upon precarious
reserve of gold subject to depletion at
the will of spectators, is the worst
maintained by any civilized commercial
nation.
at was monetary panic that ar
rested prosperity in 1893. 1t is distrust
of the currency that has helped power
fully in paralyzing industry since that
time. 1t was upon the issue of sound
money chiefly that the Presidential cam.
paign was fought and won.
Sand yet from the closing of the polls
until now neither Mckinley nor any man
who has been near to him has said q
word indicating an appreciation Of the
need of currency reform, or any purpose
to try to reform it or of securing retrench-
ment in expenses and rest from agita-
ton. To buttress monopolies by shutting
out foreign competition and to tax con-
sumers more heavily without increasing
the revenues appear to have been their
only thoughts.
meanwhile banks in the West con-
tinue to fail, unused money is piled up
in the East, and business tries in vain
to guess where the tariff.ripping will
leave it. What sort of show does this
curtain-raiser of "prosperity's advance
agent" promise us?
