COLONEL VANCE
Addresses n Strong Letter to Ohio Valley
Improvement Association.

Improvement AtSuClatlon'
A meeting of the Executive Com
mite. of the Ohio Valley Improve
ment Association was held here yes
terday. Colonel j. L. Vance, Presi-
dent, was the only out-of-town mem
Der present The next convention of
the association will be held at Evans
vile, Ind, on October II. Colonel
Vance has issued the following letter
to the mem bers of the association:
"As the time approaches for the an
nual convention of the Ohio Valley I'm
provement Association, it is proper to
submit to the membership brief
statement of the conditions brought
about by the work already accomp-
lished by the officers of the association.
1t is my firm conviction that this work
has revolutonized public sentiment in
regard to the Improvement of internal
waterways. Instead of looking upon
every project of this character with
suspicion, the public in all sections of
the country has come to regard the
systematic plans now in progress with
a high degree of favor. 1t is noted
with marked degree of satisfaction
that the work of the Ohio Valley I'm
provement Association has not been To-
cal, sectional or selfish, but has been
mapped out upon broad lines, from
which the benefit of the country at
large is already clearly discernible
The release of the Monongahela river,
which is now an accomplished fact,
abates tax which was assessa BILE with
great uniformity and regularity upon
every consumer of coal from the source
of the Ohio to the headwaters and
mouth of Mississippi. The carrying
out of the policy of continuous work
and the provision therefor by wise
legislation is another landmark in the
progress of our association, the benefit
of which will sooner or later be felt at
every point on the Ohio. Hence it oc-
ours to me to suggest that the work so
energetically mapped out by two sue
cessful conventions, which were held
in Cincinnati and Pittsburg. should be
vigorously followed up at our next
convention, which is set for Evans.

SILVER AND WHEAT.

While silver thus goes down wheat
continues to go up, and it is only the
most besotted silverites who still main
tain that bushel of wheatis, by divine
decree, always worth no more and no
less than an ounce of silver. With
wheat at 81 and upward per bushel, and
silver at 81 cents per ounce, it takes
nearly two ounces of silver to buy a
bushel of wheat and the prospect is
that before long, it will take more
than two ounces Some obstinate ad-
vocates of the silver standard still con-
tend, however, that the farmer is
robbed by adherence to the gold stand
ard, because if the price Of wheat were
measured by silver, instead of gold, he
would get 50 per bushel instead of 81;
but as the farmer still buys his sugar,
his coffee, his cotton goods, his farm
implements and his supplies generally
at gold prices, and is, moreover, getting
out OF debt, the silver standard has not
the fascination for him that it once
had.
The conviction is gaining ground
that our increased exports of wheat to
supply the deficiency in the harvests of
Europe, aided by the decrease of our
imports due to the operation of the
new tariff will soon lead to imports of
gold into this country The exports of
it have certainly stopped for the pres
ent, and there are no indications that
they are about to be resumed. How
soon the expected import will take
place, depends, however upon a num-
ber of causes, the net effect OF which it
is not easy to forecast. Australia and
Russia are still buying the metal at
small premium, and European money
dealers may put up the rates of interest
abroad SO as to induce our bankers to
leave on deposit with them the gold
they are entitled to demand for ship
ment hither. This was what happened
last autumn, and it is not unreasonab bic
to expect that it will happen in the
autumn now approa ching.
An interesting subject of theoretical
speculation is the possible effect upon
the worlds finances which will result
from the increasing productiveness of
this country, coupled with its policy Of
shutting out foreign manufactures.
For years to come, we shall, in all
proba bility, furnish other countries
with the greater part of the cotton and
the petroleum consumed by them, and
with much of their wheat, beef, pork,
butter, cheese and other articles of
food. At present the raw materials we
import in return for our exports are
principally, sugar, coffee, tea, hides,
india rubber, silk and wool, the re.
mainder of our imports being wines
and goods in various stages of manu-.
facture. Cane sugar we already pro-
duce to a considerable amount, and il
Germany, under the stimulus of pro-
tective bounties, can produce sugar
from beets largely enough to supply It's
own population and have a surplus for
export we can do the same. Matthew
Marshall.

fully.
Despite the success with which de-
coys are sometimes used by skillful
hunters, birds, in the wild state at least.
are not easily deceived, says an ex.
change. Their sense of hearing is pc.
culiarly acute, and their instinct en-.
ables them instantly to detect the
slightest variation in the song of one
of their own kind-as is laughably
illustrated in the following true story:
bird catcher, wishing to increase
his stock of bullfnches, took out his
lined twigs-i. e., twigs covered with
strongly adhesive preparation, by
alighting on which the poor birds were
caught like flies on sticky fly-paper-
and arranged them in what he consid-
cred a promising place. For decoy
lie took along a tame bullfinch in a
cage. Now it happened that this bird
was, for bullflnch, highly educated
overeducated, in fact. At first the de-
coy uttered few natural notes, and
its cry Httracted several of it's kindred,
who posted themselves at little dis
tance, watching the bird in the cage
with much curiosity. Presently they
began to approach, hopping, inch by
inch, toward the fatal twigs. But just
at this critical moment the trained bull
finch, carried away by the excitement
OF so interesting an occasion, began to
pipe the old country dance known as
Nancy Dawson" and away flew all
the intended victims as fast as their
wings could carry them.

INSANITY FROM SHOOK.
Nervous sTempcrnments Become Over
strained.

Nervous TempcrumentsB Become Over
strained.
The pathetic recital of the experience
of the engineer whose reason was shat
tered by his train running over and kill
ing two men, leads thoughtful persons
to the contemplation of the exceeding
frailty of humanity and the awful
consequences to the sensitive mind of
such an accident as that which was
the real cause of the collision of two
trains.
Of highly nervous temperament, the
engineer, while he felt himself guiltless
of murder, was yet so overcome with
the knowledge that he had taken two
lives that he was wholly unbalanced,
and probably in the most mechanical
way, with his hand on the lever, sent
his train along the tracks, completely
oblivious of the danger that threatened
him. The piteous appeal to his fellows,
asking them if he really was to blame,
is one of the most pitiful incidents in
the affair. Experts say that an en-
gineer can only pass through a given
amount of strain, and that once having
passed this point he is scarcely ac-
countable for what he may do, says the
New York Ledger.
There is a great difference in people,
however, as to the effect which such
calamities have upon them. People of
stolid and uuimpressible temperaments
may pass through such experiences
and be but slightly overcome by them,
but it is a dangerous thing for the
sensitive, highly organized mind to be
placed in such an awful position.
