The Weeks Schedules.
NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Following are the schedules for this
week:
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1897-01-13

In an address to his party, Geo.
E. Washburn, a member Of the
Peoples party National Executive
Committee, makes the following
statement as to the position of his
party on the money question:
"We united with the silver fore,
es in the recent campaign, not be-
cause we believe free coinage of
silver is the solution of the financial
problem. but because it would bet
ter existing conditions, would meet
with the least resistance and would
become the entering wedge for our
main issue, viz: Full legal tender
paper money, issued and regulated
by the Government alone"
This statement is clear cut and
to the point. There is to be no
further nincing as to what the
financial policy of the Peoples
party will lead to should that party
ever come into power. 1t will
mean unlimited, irrcdecmablc paper
money o. greenbackism.
The strongest argument used by
the eNponcnts of sound money in
the late campaign was that the
financial foolishncss proposed by
the Bryanitcs would not stop with
the opening of the mints to silver.
but would be a start to ont and oui
tintism as proposed by the Peoples
party. 1t was this belief that lea(
many Of the Democrats away from
Bryan and aided SO largely i'll th'
election of Mckinley. The utter
auccs of the Populist leaders o
late show thrt the sound-mone,
men were right in their deductions
With the Peoples party the is
sue of the next national campaign
will be fiat money; where will thi
leave the Bryan Democrats! Th
silver plank in the Chicago plat
form was placed there for tn
avowed purpose of capturing tn
Peoples party vote and it had tina
effect; but now the latter declare
that the Bryan Democrats mus
follow it beyond free silver to al
solute paper currency OF sta
where they arc and go it alone i

MICHAEL ANGELO.
yasari Tells of the Great Artists Pas
sion for Labor.

Vasari says Of the manner in which
! the great master Of sculpture worked:
II have seen Michael Angelo make
more chips of marble fly about in
quarter of an hour than three Of the
strongest young sculptors would IN as
many hours, a thing almost incredible
to anyone who has not witnessed it.
He went to work with such impetu-
osiJy and fury of manner that feared
almost every minute to see the clock
81 lit in pieces. 1t seemed as if, infamed
by the great idea that inspired him.
this great man attacked with species
Of fury the marble ia which his statue
lay concealed.''
/ One instance of such frenzy Of labor
came when Michael Angelo was a boy
but II years old. He had carved q faun,
one OF those strange woodland crea-
lures, half goat, half man. of which the
! Romans were so fond. with fresh faces,
| tossing hair. sproutng horns and goat's
| legs. Lorenzo de Nedici saw the work,
and was amazed at its deIicacy and the
richness Of fancy displayed; but he be-
gan bantering the young sculptor in
the easy, gracious fashion of great
prince.

Eou would have it: they get wrinkled

| full row of teeth which adorned the
smiling lips of the creature, and passed
on. Then occurred scene full Of pas
/ sion and pashos, and eminently char
ncteristic of Michael Angelo. As the
curtains closed upon the prince, the
young sculptor flew upon his faun,
! lnallet in hand. Round about the jaw
and brow he made telltale lines. He
puckered the eyes with crows feet. and
last of all, he placed his chisel against
the creatures upper jaw and smote
tooth away, by that one act giving the
face an indescribahle look of age.
Lorenzo was amazed at the marvel
ous transformation. 1t was an effective
introduction to the power of the young
hritist. and he took him into IN house,
hold and brought him up with his own
children-Iouth's Companion.

Louis Court of Appeals withdrew
in favor Of Judge Bland, the Dem

that he was inspired in the act by
his high sense of patriotism. The
real motive is now more clearly ap-
