BITS OF PHILOSOPHY.

If a man has kin it is equivalent to
having troubles.
There are SO many more mean men
than good that good man is always
under suspicion.
People rush around on Monday as
though they were ashamed of having
been idle on Sunday.
Very few men are as confident in
making assertions in their wives pres
ence as when they are absent.
Whenever two women get together
and there is a man in an adjoining room
they soon begin TO whisper.
The really sincere women are those
whose prayers at night in cold room
are never abbreviated by the condition
of the thermometer. - Washington
Times.

IT is DYING OUT.
The Free Coinage Crane Is Thing nj
the Past.

the Past.
After spending three weeks in Mis-
souri,, Texas and Kansas, can say that
free silverism is dying out in its south
western stronghold. The people now
talk about the craze dispassionately and
with reason. The verdict is that it was
the ghost of the greenback craze which
set the farmers wild in 1856. When
asked o. ID. Austin, of the Bates County
Record, what had caused the stampede,
he said:
THE farmers were deceived. They
thought free coinage would be con-
tinuation of the old coinage acts, when
the government bought silver at its
market price, coined $625, 100000 worth
of it, and guaranteed every dollar as
good as gold"
"And what have you found out since?"
/ asked.
"They have found out that the mine
owners don't want that. They want it
fixed so that the mine owners can make
the profit on coined silver and not the
government. They find the mine own
ers wish to take their 50-cent silver to
the mint as they take gold to the mint,
have it coined, and handed back to them
worth dollar like the $G25, 100000 which
have been coined. The farmers have
found out that this would only enrich
the mine owners at the expense of the
people and give the farmer no better
money than he had before. The farm
ers have at last found out that they
are mot in it. while the mine owner,
with free coinage, would treble his
wealth.
1.-THE farmer kept saying when Cleve-
land was buying gold to pay the ex-
penses of the government: why don't
he pay silver for gold?' It has now
dawned on the farmer that the govern
ment bought gold for something worth
less than coined silver. 1t bought
gold for paper. The government gave
paper note. If it had bought gold with
coined silver it would have paid so
cents worth of silver and so cents worth
of guarantee by the government. Ithas
dawned on the farmer that the COS. 00O,-
900 silver dollars coined by the govern
ment, and which the farmers are using,
have not been demonetized at all. The
peoples money is all right, but the sill
YER in the ground was demonetized, and
they say: That don't hurt us farmers,
we don't own any of it, and that won't
hurt the mine owner either if he will
let it alone
Then" continued Mr.. Austin, "when
Pryan kept saying in all his speeches
that gold had appreciated, that il had
gone up and our gold dollar was worth
200 cents, the farmer said: What are
we selling odr wheat and cotton for?
Why, we are selling our products for
this double-priced gold, where n dol
lar is worth 200 cents. We are getting
twice as much value for our corn and
pork as we will get if we have free coin
age and drop the price of gold They
now see that Bryan was lying TO them.
Bryan said the 'goldbug' bankers are
cornering gold. and now the farmers
see the banks full of gold and it is as
free all over Texas and Missouri as sill
yer or paper"
Then the free silver craze has petered
out?"
Eyes, gone. It will never be n cam
paign issue again. Intelligent farmers
are ashamed of it."-Eli Perkins, in Chr
cago Tribune.

Illinois supreme Court strikes blow
mt Indcterminatc Sentence Law.

Chicago, March 20.-The supreme
court of the state rendered decision
at Ottawa Saturday which attorneys
assert practically holds the indeter-
inmate sentence law to be unconstitu-
tlonal. The decision was handed down
in the habeas corpus case of David \.
Mcdonald and John III. Clements against
the people, an appeal from Clark coun-
ty. The men were convicted of man
slaughter last October and sent TO the
Chester penitentiary under the new law,
the duration Of their sentence not being
fixed. A new trial having been denied,
they applied for writ of habeas corr
pus, asserting that the law is uncon-
stitutional. This was also denied.
They appealed to the supreme court,
which ordered the court below to issue
the writ.

WAS ERICSSON'S AIDE.
Death of n Mnn Who Helped Invent
the Monitor.

Detroit, March 25.-Dr. Theodore
Burr, who died here Wednesday, aged
81, was an inventor of note, but, like
many another who sought to tighten
the labors of humanity, he did not bene-
fit pecuniarily from his ideas. In 1861
he presented plans to the government
for the construction of an iron gum
boat. The plans were adopted, except
that double turrets were built by the
advice of Capt. John Ericsson, to whom
the entire invention was credited. The
boat was called the Monitor, and the
only recognition of DIR. Burr was by the
presentation to him of the first green
back ever printed. This was only one
of several inventions by him.

Spring Cleaning.

Spring cleaning need not necessarily
be made the drudgery it is if properly
done. Paints, floors, hard walls and
windows may all be cleaned without
rubbing, by wiping over with strong
suds made of Ivory soap and hot, soft
water, then rinsed and dried. A room
thus cleaned will be fresh and sweet,
with no unpleasant odor of strong
soaps or cleaning fluids.
