Southern shad are now in the market,

about the first roes of Spring is now due.
The San Francisco "Chroncle" is au

Double suicides have received a setback
in France. A young man fired two bull

1t is said that when whisky is used in

Live bees are sometimes shipped on ice
to keep them dormant during the journey.

Defeat Free Silver by 100000 Majority
Cincinnati Commercial, Rep.l

This year the populor majority against
free silver should be round million. If
the American people, in time of great
distress and financial depression and in a
time of temptation, had the courage TO
vote down policy of financial dishonor by
a majority of 3O,54S, then a majority of
1000 900 against dishonest dollars should
be easily obtainable today. Since the cleo
ton of 1896 the wisdom of the people in
rejecting the sophlstries Of the free silver
ties has been abundantly justified. Hun
dreds of thousands Of those who voted for
Organism fifteen months ago now see the
folly Of their choice, and stand ready toin
dorse the honest money policy which they
once opposed, but which has restored con-
Gdence and prosperity to the country.

American farmers did well in 1897. They
received for their breadstufs double as
much money as they did in 1894 Or 1885,
and about 50 per cent. more than they
received in 1897.
