LONGEST DAY re REMEMBERED.

Irtshmnn Thus Writep to His Nephew
When He Gave Up Drinking.
There was in those days serious
hammered Irish member named Blake
(not to be confoCnded with the ex-
premier of Canada, sitting member for
South LongfordD, who is remembered
fer brief correspondence he read to
the delighted house. 1t was intro
duced into a speech delivered in debate
ON the Irish Sunday closing bill. Mr..
Blake had, he confidently informed the
Louise, an uncle who regularly took six
tumblers of whisky toddy daily. This
troubled him, says the North American
Review, and after much thought he
resolved TO write and demonstrate with
his relative. The following was the
letter:
"My Dear Uncle: / write to say how
pleased 1 should be if you could see
your way to giving up your six glasses
OF whisky day. / am sure you would
find many advantages in doing so. the
greatest of which would be that. as +
am persuaded, it would be the means of
prolonging your days"
The uncle replied:
If ~ 1NSPAASN'f. \ ttM
obliged to you for your dutiful letter.
/ was SO much struck by what you
said, and in particular by your Kind
wish to lengthen my days, thet last Fri
day I gave up the whisky. j believe
you are right, my boy, as to the days
being heightened, for, bedadi it was
the longest day / ever remember"

MIR nHyAS,s INCONSISTENCY.

At a banquet given two nights ago at
Los Angeles. Cal, by the Silver Repuph-
can League. Hon. William J. Bryan spoke
on the money question. In the course OF
his remaks Mr.. Bryan said that he USED
to think that all good was contained In
the Democratic party, and all bad IN the
Republican party. but of late he had seen
so many good Republicans that he had
changed his opinion. He wanted to give
the Silver Republicans the front rank in
tho battle now being waged.
That Is a fair sample Of tho argument OF
Mr.. Bryan and his followers. The Re-
publicans who forsook their party and
their principles TO join In the free silver
movement are patriots worthy of posi-
tons Of honor in the party to which they
have fed. But Democrats who. because
Of their convictions, would not be led
away from the well established principles
Of Democracy are, in the estimation OF
Mr.. Bryan and his associates, traitors
and renegades and political lshmaelites.
Mr. Bryan is a sensible man and good
that while that sort Of talk may appeal
to the thoughtless. 1t can have no other
effect with men who think for them
selves than TO disparage him in their es-
timation. IT is political clap-trap Of a
character that is unworthy Of a man In
Mr.. Bryan's position Everything that
he can possibly say I'm praise OF the stand
taken by the silver Republicans must APP
ply with equal force and with moro force
10 that Of the gold standard Democrats.
If the Silver Republicans were justifi-
able in forsaking their party and the
principles for which they had for life
time chung, in order to aid those Of an OPP
posing party in promoting the interest
Of free silver, were not Sound Money
Democrats equally as justifable in cut
ting loose from their party affiliations.
when in their opinion the party forsook
its principles, and made its fight upon a
platform, through and through undemo-
cratic, with free silver, to which Sound
Money Democrats were unalterably OPP
posed. as the one overriding issue?
Yet Mr.. Bryan has nothing but words
OF commentator for the Silver Republic
cans who went with him, and nothing but
words Of condemnation and bitterness
for those Democrats who refused to sup
port him.
Mr.. Bryan cannot possibly heap his
praises upon the Silver Republicans
without indirectly commencing also the
courage and honesty Of the Sound Money
Democrats.

Good Claim AGENT

An old Swede farmer who lives on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad few miles

The old farmer looked al him suspici-
ously and shifted about uneasily, but
said nothing.
"You must remember" continued the
claim agent, "that your colt was Il tres

occurred. We don't want any litigation
however, IL we can help it, and we'd like

THE CURRENCY COMMISSION;

President Mckinley has at the last
moment decided TO ask Congress 10 au-
thorize him to appoint a currency COM
mission. It is said that he preferred 10
let the matter go over. but was under
promise to the chairman OF the Indiana
polls Sound Money Convention to make
such a recommendation to Congress, ana
that the chairman refused to release him
from his promise.
This would indicate that II the commas
sion is to be appointed, it shall work along
the lines indicated by the ladianapohs
Sound Money Convention. If that Is 10
be the case, we can see nothing to be ac-
complished by the commission. AS we
have said in a previous article. the farm
ers had no representation whatever In
that convention, and any reform OF the
currency which does not contemplate
circulation that will relieve the distress
of the farmers will, in our opinion, be
practically Useless.
However, It is encouraging to know that
there is any sort of plan on foot looking
to genuine currency reform, and we nope
that some good may come Of it

In Georgia. where the pine trees blow,
And sandy is the soil.
Where sturdy farmers WELD the hoe,
And thrive by honest toll.
There dwells a maid OF subtle charm,
With many beauties blest,
And never a maid dwelt on a farm,
quite half so self-possessed.
And many a man has gathered round
That Isolated spot.
And thought it all was holy ground,
Until he found twas not.
From thence he wends his weary way,
And homeward bound again,
Regrets It was his lot TO stray
From pleasure into pain.
V.
While reveling in the sport she has,
This maid no trouble sees,
But lives a life as happy as
The birds among the trees.
Careless as the winds that blow,
The smiles with inward glee.
Delighting to hear their tale OF woe
And of abject misery.
VII.
But sure this maid must have heart
That's throbbing in her breast,
And the time will come when Cupid's dar

Perhaps that heart will feel the panSs
OF unrequited love,
Perhaps twill stink, like sepents' fang

gagement which has been reported by
the Spaniards as having been lost by Car

WETLER'S GAME SPOILED.
Compelled to Abandon East Cuba and
Start After Gomez.

HAVANA, July 1.-THE news sent last
week TO the Sun that on Sunday, June
18th, General Gomez crossed the river
Hanabana, which forms part OF the
southern boundary OF Matanzas province,
and entered that province, is fully con-
firmed to-day. A Spanish official report
says that in the jurisdiction OF Cienfue-
COS the bands OF General Garlic and
other Cuban leaders are trying 10 pro-
tect Gomez's march toward the west and
save him from determination by the Span
ish. The report received to-day does not
clearly indicate how far TO the west Cen
eral Gomez has advanced. but 1t is GER
tain that he reached the province OF Ma
tanzas at the time named above.
That General Garlic was In Cienfuegos
TO help Gomez is not true. Garlic, with
