The free-silver democrats who rejoiced in
the alliance with populism last fall will be
interested to know that the middle-of-the'
road populists who are assured of the con-
troll of the coming convention of Populists
at Memphis are out in pronunciamento
against further monkeying with the semi
fiat dollar, and propose to 90 to the full
extent of an absolute fiat paper currency.
Tom Watson, who leads the middle-of-the-
readers, says in recent issue of his paper:
"We genuine populists contend that fiatism
which is good for 40 cents is good for 100
cents. If the principle of fatism Is sound,
it is sound all the way. Ii the government
stamp can make 40 cents out of nothing, it
can make 100 cents out of the same mate
rial"

Prof. Chas. Filkins delivered before the

admit that the professor entertained his au.
dience in very instructive manner, as it |
could be plainly seen he did not wait for
opportunities but made them to inform him
self upon these practical questions during
his three years stay In Europe. Equipped |
with aptness and learning, a graduate from
our University, he enjoyed special privileges
and occasions to Study life, and he is able to
instruct others In what he learned. We
hope it will be the pleasure of many to hear
Prof. Filkins discuss these questions of
social interest. V.

TO MEET HEAD ON
FATE ARRANGED FOR TWO LAKE
ERIE G. WESTERN ENGINES.

On the afternoon of Monday, July 9Th.
thousands of men, women and children will
be within huge enclosure in or near the
city of Muskegon, watching two engineers
driving two locomotives up and down the
track. The men of the grimy overalls will
pet their steel steeds, as the typical engineer
always does, gazing lovingly at each shin
ing rod and brass, watching the sensitive
needle of the steam guage trying the sand
and preparing for the last sensational run.
AS the hour of 4 o'clock approaches the
excitement of the great crowd will increase
and every eye will have been fixed upon
the engines. which will have drawn half
mile apart. Sharp as the minute hand
passes the figure twelve, white cloud OF
steam will rise from each of the black mon
sters so soon to be hurled forward at head
long speed, and the sharp scream of whist
les will break the air. With simultaneous
movement each engineer will give steam to
the machine he controls, and the driving
wheels will begin to reyolve.
MAKE A FLYING JUMP.
AS the engines move forward each man
will watch every motion and when the trem-
bling and vibration which attends the start
ing of every train ceases, and the steady
turning has begun, the throttle will be
pulled wide open. Each engineer will
make a flying jump, and gaining speed
every second the locomotives with whistles
screeching and bells ringing will rush for
ward to meet In that most fearful embrace |
known as head on collision. The impact |
will be tremendous and the spectacle long |
to be remembered. A flying locomotive is
alone wonderful sight, but when two are |
rushing together there is no other concep-
ton of gigantic visible force half so impress
sive and awe-inspiring. Every spectator
will hold his breath and there will be no
sound except the rush and roar of the huge
engines and the final crash as they meet and
rear up to fall mangled mass of hopeless

NEGRO WHO CAN WRITE HEBREW
He Is Deaf md Dumb and Comes
From an African Town.

Hartford, Conn. September ia young
African negro has been IN this city for
the last few days who claims TO be a
Hebrew. He is deaf and dumb and as
black as the ace of spades.
He carries a pad of paper with him and
answers all questions by writing them IN
Hebrew and Lcschen Khodlsh. What ex-
cites the most wcnder is that he writes
I.oschea Khodlsh very rapidly. IT is the
language OF the books OF Moses and Is
maze a special study Of, spoken and writ
to.o with ease only by the rabbis and high
~ educated Hebrews.
The negro was sent TO one OF the rapols
of Hartford, who is perfectly satisfied that
he Is "A Hebrew. He says that he came
from n large town in Africa, where there
Is a tribe of about 10000 black hebrews
who speak Loschcn khodish ana are quite
prosperous. He ALSO says that his father
IS a rabbi In that town, and that IS why
his father took the trouble TO teach MN
to write these languages, which needed
an extra amount of labor on account oil
his being deaf and dumb.
He saws his people not only wiNte
T ,oschen Khodish. but 1t = their speak
Ing ,qnruage as well. He left home few
Years ago and has seen a good deal OF the
word In each town he hunts up the
Jewish sect.srn and there they give MN
clothes, foci and money.
What surprises him, he writes, IS thal
no Hebrew knows of his countryGnen IN
Africa.

BISHOP OF MAJ0RICA PERSISTENT.
Influential Prelates Approve the
Course of the Bishop.
POPE HAS BEEN APPLIED TO.
sympathy of the Bishop With the
CarIist Movement Agsravatcs
the situation.

Madrid. September 1s.--Fears are ex-
pressed in well informed circles that Q
cabinet crisis may result from the con-
tumacy of the bishop of Majorica, Baleric
islands, who, in defiance OF the order Of
the archbishop, has persisted In his ex-
communication OF Signor j. Reverter. the
Spanish minister OF finance, for taking
possession of the church In his diocese.
The decree OF accommodation was read
with all formality In all the churches OF
the diocese today Several influential pre-
lates approve the course of the bishop.
Their attitude, which is absolutely opposed
to that OF all the members OF the cabinet
who have applied to the pope against the
decree. through the papal nuncio, has
raised a complicated issue between the &C.
clesiastic and political authorities.
The cabinet relies on the dictum OF the
nuncio that tho bishop has no jurisdiction
over the minister and upon his further as
surance that the pope will undoubtedly
censure the bishop.
The notorious sympathies OF the bishop
with the Carlist movement also aggravates
the situation
