One OF the %silliest bowls the desper-
ate democracy is raising just now Is
that the republican party has a scheme
to contract the currency by calling in
h ~greenback and other paper money
of the government. Has anybody dis
covered how they are going to call in
the paper currency without redeeming
it was some other kind of money equal
ly good? Suppose they should con-
clude, just to please the free silverites,
to call in all the silver certificates and
redeem them with the dollars of our
daddies? Wouldn't that please the sill
ver-plated democracy?
How many people in Wyoming would
vote yes" to the proposition, would
you like to exchange Mckinley for
Cleveland for president, and the pres
ent condition of the country for that
of four years ago." And yet that is
just what the democrats are asking you
to do.
There is not a voter in Wyoming who
would not be seriously injured by a
democratic victory this fall except those
who are running for office on that
ticket and their immediate personal
friends and families.
In the present house Nebraska has
four demo-pop members and Kansas
has five. Does anybody believe these
states will send that many of those hy-
birds to the next congress?

keep the stars and stripes floating over
the Philippines Cleveland won't be in

tweent the democratic EDITORS of the
state for the position OF president of

NEW BEECHER MEMORIAL.
Branch of Plymouth Has Outgrown It's
Old Home.

New York, April PA movement
has been started by the members of
Beecher Memorial church, in the Ocean
Hill section of Brooklyn, to put up an
addition to the church building which
is little more than chapel. Plymouth
church, of which Beecher Memorial lis
a branch, is also interested in the
scheme.
1t is less than ten years since the
church was organized under the lead
ership of Rev. Samuel B. Holiday, who
was for many years associated with
Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth
church. Mr.. Holiday was then over
seventy-five years Of age, but owing to
his foresight, wisdom and wonderful
energy, and owing also to the generous
response of the many friends of the late
Mr.. Beecher from all over the world
the present edifice was erected in 1890
and the last mortgage on the property
was burned in 1893.
The number of children attending the
public schools within the parish has
more than doubled within the past five
or six years. The present enrolment
of the Sunday school is about 500. and
it is becoming difficult. with present ia
cilitfes. to provide proper accommodate
tions for the scholars and other organi-
cations.
The church has decided to purchase
plot of ground, 50x100 feet, adjoining
its present property and to erect such
a building as will ena BILE it to keep pace
with the growth of the community

X-RAY FOR MRS. WHITNEY.
To Be Used in an Attempt to Learn
the Exact Nature of Her Injury.

New York April 2S.-The very newest
use of the Roentgen X-ray will be its ap-
plication to Mrs. William c. Whitney in
an effort to determine the precise nature
of the injury to her spine. The applica
ton will be made tomorrow under the di-
rection of Drs. Charles L. Dana and Will
liam T. Bull, assisted by DR.. McGahan of
Aiken, S. c.
Mrs. Whitneys case has been puzzling
from its inception. owing to the extreme
obscurity of the symptoms.
All cases of injury to the spine are diff
ficult to diagnose and treat because of the
else nature of the hurt. 1t is this d1th-
Guilty which has caused the doctors de
cision to resort to the use of X-rayS in
Mrs Whitney's case.
Mrs. Whitney was injured by being
thrown from her horse while riding to
hounds near Aiken on February 81 last.
The first reports were that she was only
slightly injured. Next day came news
that she was badly hurt and in danger of
dying. Then it was announced that she
suffering from fracture of the sec
ond Vertehra-that is, the second counting
downward from the head.
The eminent specialists who were sum-
moned from New York devised an appli-
ance resembling a cage, in which Mrs;
Whitney's head rested firmly day and
night. Trained nurses relieved one an
other at her bedside at frequent inter-
walls. The principal object was to prevent
any further irritation of the spinal cord.
Mrs. Whitney was paralyzed to a great
extent. She could move her fingers slight
ly, but that was about all.
Since that time she has improved stead
lily, although with aggravating slowness.
When the increasing languorouS heat of
the South Carolina spring made it neceS-
sary to bring her north Dr. Bull went to

room car as a perfect hospital on wheels.

Honolulu, April 2S-EIeven hundred
