lesson of motherly love to her little charges.
''What do you call your mother?" said
she to little Ethel, who was twin.
"We," replied little Ethel, speaking for
her sister as we'll as for herself--"we call
mamma dear mamma dear for if we

The weakness OF the Republican position

than to gain through the fortunes of war. A larger volume of money, which the exigencies of the war would make necessary, would not lead to the coinage of silver to meet the situation but to an issuance of paper money which would displace silver for years to come Whether an issue of paper money would be in the form of green backs or national bank notes would. of course depend upon the temper of congress. The silver men, welded to metallic money as they are, would hardly place themselves in opposition to greenback issue should it be deemed necessary to meet the condi- tions of war in that way. Greenbacks would prove the compromise between the advocates of silver on the one hand and the champions of national bank notes on the other.
 In two directions, perhaps, the min ing industry would profit from a war. There would undoubtedly be a larger demand for copper for electrical ap- pliances, and the self evident demand for lead would stimulate the produc- tion of that metal. This would have good effect upon our silver-lead mines for the time being and bring into re- newed activity those districts that produce large percentages of 1ead.- Western Mining World

MINING INDUSTRY AND WAR.

Since the Spanish-American compli- cations give promise of war the effect of hostilities upon the mining industry may well be considered. We do not share the appetite for strife that leaves bad taste in the mouths of many. and the glory of blood-letting never ap- pealed to our inherited percentage of vanity. War is to be dreaded at all times and avoided when possible. but when it does come let it be met with equilibrium by the industrial interests of the country. There are some who believe that the mining industry would profit through war with Spain, in that demand for silver would be created that would permit that metal to be again mined at a reasonable margin.
 We cannot share this conclusion. In our opinion silver has more to lose
