KANSAS CITY, No, April l9.-Carl,
the two-year-old son Of ]. W. Theme,
barber, Twelfth and Porter road,
died suddenly yesterday morning OF
spasms. Saturday evening the boy ate
a hearty supper, including many sweet
meats, and played about as if in the
best of health. Mrs. Theme put the
child to bed at his usual hour, but
about midnight she was awakened by
his cries, He was striking about
with his little hands and crying as if
in terror. She succeeded in partly
arousing him, but as ne opened his
eyes he apparently imagined he saw
something which intended to harm
him and wentinto a spasm. A physician
was hastily summoned, but the child
died without regaining consciousness.
The doctor gave it as his opinion that
the child had eaten too much for his
supper. and the condition of his stom-
ach had brought about his horrible
dream which frightened the child into

CHICAGO, April 19.-Frances Willard
and the Chicago W. C. T. u have de-
clared war on soda fountains. Some
of the city candy stores patronized al
most exclusively by women have on
their walls lists of drinks which the
w. c. T. U. say are strong enough and
varied enough to serve as mixed drinks
in any saloon. They claim that there
is good deal in name in the matter
Of drinks; that a girl will drink an egg
punch, who would avoid a maraschino
punch, as if it were a pestilence. And
they further fear that the soda foun-
tain is educating in young girls taste
for strong drink which will be the ruin
of their maturer years.

democratic leaders believe that this
policy of Mr. Bailey's, adopted on the
ostensible ground that non-legislation
by the republicans is better than any
legislation, is having a demoralizing
effect on the conference Of the demo-
Gratis as party. They assert that the
minority can only be kept together by
policy Of aggressive opposition to the
republicans, and that the safe rule to
follow in opposing an enemy is to OBJ
struet rather than TO fall in with his

from the Treasury. No matter how many
times they were redeemed, inasmuch as
they had to be reissued they were always
available for pumping out gold from the
Treasury. The evident purpose of the
President is to stop this, by providing
that greenbacks once redeemed shall not
be paid out again except in exchange for
gold of an equal amount. Such law
would effectually put an end to the so
called endless chain. Whether it can be
got through the Senate, desirable as it, is
exceedingly doubtful. The silver ele'
ment in that body look upon any embar-
rassment of the Treasury with satisfac-
ton, because they have an idea that ii
tends to help along their silver theory,
and therefore that element may be ex-
pected to fight the Presidents recon

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

I'm remembrance of Gods goodness to
us during the past year which has been
SO abundant, let US offer unto Him our
thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the
Most High. Under His watchful provi-
dence industry has prospered, the con-
di5ions Of labor have been improved, the
rewards of the husbandman have been in
creased and the comfors of our home null
tiplied. His mighty hand has preserved
peace and protected the nation. Respect
for law and order has been strengthened
love of free institutions cherished and all
sections of our beloved country brought
into closer bonds of fraternal regard and
generous cooperation.
For these great benefits, it is our duty
to praise the Lord in a spirit of humility
and gratitude and to offer up to Him our
most earnest supplications. That we
may acknowledge our obligations as a
people to Him, who has so graciously
granted US the blessings of free govern
ment and material prosperity, l, William
Mckinley, President of the United
States, do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the Twenty-fifth Day OF
November

which all of the people are invited to OBJ
serve With appropriate religious services
in their respective places of worship.
On this day of rejoicing and domestic
reunion, let our prayers ascend to the
Giver of every good and perfect gift for
the continuance of His love and favor to
us that our hearts may be filled with
charity and good will, and that we may
be ever worthy of His benefcent concern

The Portland daily press., 1897-11-23

Announcement is made by the Boston
Advertiser that the President will recon-
mend in his forthcoming message that
the law be repealed which requires the
redemption of greenbacks in gold on pres
entation. If this be true, the President
is about to suggest that the government
default on its notes and suspend specie
payment. But we strongly suspect that
the Advertiser has been misled, and that
what the President is really going to
recommend is the repeal of the law which
makes it compulsory for the government
to pay out the greenbacks as fast as they
are received. Evidently what the President
will try to do is to break the SO called
endless chain. Under existing law the
government has been furnishing the
means to pump out its gold reserve. A
syndicate could provide itself with a
large supply of greenbacks, present them
Mt the Treasury and get gold for them
AS the law compelled the immediate pay
ing out again of these greenbacks, they
We're available again to draw more gold
