ing in the interest OF gold, but his pre-
diction is that they will fail and that
their silly policy will put the republican
party out of power. He realizes that the
reaction is bound to come. He says in
his latest talk that thore is republican
turmoil ahead and that the policy pur-
sued by the treasury department stulti-
fies the presidents professions of friend
illness for silver
Senator Chandler speaks to the point
and with full knowledge of republican
sentiment when he says: "1t is not feas-
ible TO retire the greenbacks. There is
more probability that bill will be sent
to the president to increase their
amount. 1t is not possible TO secure the
passage through either house of a bill
making the greenbacks into gold notes
or authorizing bonds payable in gold.
The effort 10 bring about either thing
will probably result in the passage Of
bill for the redemption of the green
backs in silver dollars and for the pay
ment of all United States bonds in gold
or silver coin, in the discretion of the
president, who will be commanded to
exercise his option for the advantage of
the government and not for the advan-
tage of the creditors"

They Are Divided.

.rHE record is going to be one of
radical disagreement among re-
publicans on all questions ex-
cept the tariff. The administrator ma
jority cannot pass laws of great ac-
count concerning the currency-Speakar
Reed himself says this. Prominent men
in the party are earnestly pleading for
an end to pension extravaganza: this
plea is violently resisted by many re-
publican house members. The opening
days of the session at Washington re-
vealed sharp disagreement with the
talk about civil-service methods in the
Mckinley message. The administration
has pacific plan respecting Cuba;
many influential republican congress-
men are strenuously opposed 10 that
plan. The Washington correspondents
declare that respecting Hawaii the re
publicans in congress are getting daily
farther and farther apart.
OF course the currency presents the
essential issue. The president has rec
commended a measure of legislation. gen.
orally pronounced To be as mild a one
as he could have proposed If he under
took to do anything. The secretary Of
the treasury goes somewhat farther 1t
is understood that the republicans of
congress are agreed upon neither Of
these propositions. The chairman Of
the committee on banking and currency
has a currency scheme Of his own,
which il is said that nobody but himself
can understand. Some Of the republic
cans want the greenbacks retired; others
do not. Some of them would give more
power TO the banks ia the currency;
others are strongly against it. There is

One More of Them Landed.

n loW and then the news tide brings
IN to the surface some stray bit OF
A. p. A. wreckage. The secret
organization once had for one of its
principal boosters a fellow from Michi-
gan whose name became suddenly prom.
inent because he was the man who
initiated Senator Burrows into the mys-
teries. of the order. Burrows was a
candidate for the federal senate, and he
was weak enough TO join the order be-
cause he thought that course would
strengthen him with the Michigan leg
islature--T. Charles Beatty is the man
who put him through his PAGES.
AT that time Beatty wore the resound-
ing title of supreme grand secretary Of
the national A. p. A. outfit He had
headquarters at Washington. Like most
OF the members, Beatty used the order
strictly for his personal benefit But
when the thing went to pieces Beatty's
job was gone and he took to all sorts of
dishonest methods wherewith to get
board and lodgings. He was for q time
in Mexico, fugitive from justice.
Beatty was conveniently picked up
in pennsylvania recently, and yesterday
he arrived at the Easton penitentiary
where he will serve fifteen months for
passing forged drafts.

race. 1t is Plat organ and, some
how. its appeals to the republican
majority in the house of representa-
hves do not appear to have great
weight; while the Sun writes and shouts
and warns and appeals. the administra-
ton managers seem to settle down
more firmly than ever to the opinion
that they'll not touch the tariff.
This conduct at Washington makes
the Sun impatient. Its latest deficit
philippe says Of the people In the Ding
ley group: When they aIlege, there
fore, that tariff which is piling up the
deficit higher and higher every month is
perfectly satisfactory, what they really
mean is that as the authors of that tariff
they are perfectly satisfied to postpone
as long as possible the formal admis-
sion or confession that the act has not
accomplished all that was expected of
it; has not done all that they predict
ed it would do"
In the policy pursued at Washington
the Sun discovers the sure sign of re-
publican defeat at the congressional
elections of next year, entailing what in
its opinion would be disaster" in the
triumph of silver in 1900. The SUMS
warning is timely enough, but the adj
ministration people show not the faint
est sign of paying any attention to it.

In Michigan.

rs HARLEs r. sLIGH, the fusion
candidate for governor of Michi-
gan in 1885, and brother of DR..
j. Nj. Sigh of Anaconda, tells the Mich
igan press that the next democratic con-
vention Will Endorse the Chicago plat
form unequivocally and emphatically
and the name of William J. Bryan will
be cheered to the echo"
In an interview Mr.. Sigh says: THE
of the peoples rights since the adoption
of the platform upon which Lincoln ran.
AS long as this platform is sustained /
shall be democrat. But as soon as free
silver is abandoned and other vital is
sues are drepped-then I'll be wan
derer in search of some party which
advocates the rights of the common peo-
pie, as against privileges to the pre-
ferred few. ! do not expect ever to re-
turn to the republican party, because
the party is too thoroughly dominated
by the plutocratic, eapitalistic and
monopollstic influences. The republicans
won their last great victory with the as
last campaign. They will never win
another election. The democrats will
win next time, and if Bryan shall be
nominated he will but be following in
the footsteps of Andrew Jackson, who,
defeated in his first canvass, was twice
elected president afterward"
Again, Mr.. Sigh observes that this
talk heard in certain quarters of COM
promise, of eliminating the silver ques-
ton, of modifying the Chicago plat
form is all nonsense. There is nothing
to compromise. The geld5uss who po,t
ed the democratic ticket last year are
not democrats and never were demo-
Gratis They are plutocrats, with ideas
and sentiments essentially republican.
II they come back they must not as
sumo 10 dictate either candidate or plat
forms" AS silver republican Mr.
Sigh looks to the democratic party for
the success of silver Unquestionably
all the silver men of Michigan are
standing pat.

Sncrers may have to do their snoring
In the same way.
Equally statesmanlike legislation is
that accomplished in the aesthetic and
nervously organized municipality of
Mankato, Kas., where. three years ago,
the common council passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting. under penalty of a
fine of 80 cents for each offense. the
singing. humming or whistling of the
song. AFTER the Ball. 1t is said that
the terrors of the law persuaded the
Mankatonese to quit after the Ball. y
and the non-musical portion of the
town had rest.
Now the prophetic and lurid song of
"A Hot Time in the Old Town To-
Night" has invaded Mankato. and.
cheered by the recollection of their for
mer successful experience in legislation,
the common council propose TO enact a
similarly stringest ordinance against
the whistling, singing. humming and
brass-banding of this greatly over
worked air.
If this species of new government goes
on, the wary visitor in Kansas must
needs provide himself with copies of all
LEGAL laws and ordinances If he would
escape punishment for deeds which. in
less governed communities, are regard
ed as wholly innocuous to the public
health.
Forty years ago. when Boston was

~ NEE more Maryland's remark
~ able Senator Wellington has been
turned down. He is so accus-
toned to that sort of experience that he
must be getting weary of 1t; all his
greatness, as we'll as his rank stupidity,
has come to public attention since last
March, when his senatorial career
began. Recently Wellington, who is a
republican. undertook to bring an ac-
ton for criminal libel against the Bal
timore American, edited by Felix Ag-
nus. the leading republican newspaper
in Maryland. The proper officers pre-
sented the case: the grand jury has re-
turned the indictment with the word
ignored endorsed on it. What the
Baltimore American printed was the
substance of comment that had already
been printed in the Washington Post.
The American, since the action of the
jury, has reprinted the comment on
Wellington's political conduct and it in
vites him to discuss the truth of what
is charged.

except to let the subject alone, out of
pure helplessness to deal with any meas
ure that will interfere with the present
situation.
The situation is thus made simple
enough for the opposition. Unrest
among silvers forces concerns the flu
ture rather than the present; if the re-
publicans lose the next congress, as now
seems altogether probable, great will be
the responsibility resting on democracy,
in anticipation of the battle of 1900.

n rEW YORK CITY has several
M newspapers with memories so
short that they forget what they
said as recently as the time of the
greater cfty's mayoralty fight. They
proclaimed then their belief that Tam
manys victory meant ruin to the city's
credit and the wreck of its good name
in the money marts. Van Wyck's sue
cess, they said, involved an era of loot
ing and plumber and theft, the mere an
ticipation of which would leave the city
helpless in its finances. These same
newspapers are now pointing with espe-
cial satisfaction to the fact that the
city of New York has just placed a loan
Of more than $6000,000 on very advan-
tageous terms, the premium being for
bonds of their class, the highest on
record. 1t is to be remembered that
on one occasion at least, the present re-
form administration, under Mayor
Strong, could not float city bonds, no
purchaser appearing who was willing to
bid more than par. After all, the bank
ing element in New York was fooling
when it harped about the alleged dan
ger to the city's credit involved in the
election of Van Wyck.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

When a mans tired
In both body and mind
Homes the only place
That he's anxious to find;
1t may be a palace,
A cottage or hut
1t makes little difference
When he's tired, but
It's home.
There are numerous clubs
And pleasure resorts
That provide entertainment,
Refreshments and sports;
There are houses of worship.
With music and prayer,
But when a mans tired
He seeks refuge from care
At home.
At home he is greeted
BY affections caress;
He doffs all pretensions
Of manner or dress;
lie losses the baby
And torments the dog,
Or goes to bed early
And sleeps like a log
At home.
The home is the heart
OF our comfort and cheer,
Made SO by the presence
OF those we hold dear:
By the thought that we're shut in
From all that annoys,
And nothing can enter
To disturb our joys
At home.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofuious Humors - How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When Eve years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimples
which.would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NV
wite's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods SarsapariIla
the hamor had all been driven ont OF his
blood aud it has never since returned.n

out solder is employed after to render

The advantages claimed for this cask
are great durability, strength and ex-
ceptlonaliy small repairs. The first
cost Is greater than that of a wooden
barrel. but the extreme length of life
and freedom from loss of contents by
breakage, leakage, etc. more than COM
pensates for this. There is no loss by
