have seen once since, and l can give you
no fairer idea of Ben Gums boat than
by saying it was like the first and the
worst coracle ever made by man. But
the great advantage if the coracle it GER
tainly possessed, for it was exceedingly
light and portable.
Well, now that had found the boat
you would have thought had had
enough of truantry for once: but in the
meantime ad3taken another notion,
and become so obstinately fond of it
that l would have carried it out, be-
lieve. in the teeth of Capt. Smollett him
self. This was to slip out under cover
of the night, cut the "Iispaniola"
adrift, and let her go ashore where she
fancied. had quite made up my mind
that the mutineers, after their repulse
of the morning. had nothing nearer
their hearts than to up anchor and away
TO sea; this, thought, it would be
fine thing to prevent, and now that
had seen how they left their watchmen
unprovided with a boat, l thought it
might be done with little risk.
Down l sat to wait for darkness, and
made hearty meal of biscuit. 1t was
night out of ten thousand for my pur-
pose. The fog had now buried all
heaven. AS the last rays of daylight
dwindled and disappeared, absolute
blackness settled down on Treasure
island. And when. at last. l shouldered
the coracle, and CROPPED my way STUN.
blingly out of the hollow where ] had
supped, there were but two points visi-
Bile on the whole anchorage.
One was the great fire on shore, by
which the defeated pirates lay carous-
ing in the swamp. The other, mere
blur of light upon the darkness, in
dicated the position of the anchored
ship. She had swung round to the ebb
her bow was now toward me-the
only lights on board were in the cabin;
and what saw was merely reflection
on the fog of the strong rays that flowed
from the stern window.
The ebb had already run some time,
and had to wade through the long belt
of swampy sand, where l sunk several
times above the ankle, before came to
the edge of the retreating water, and,
wading little way in, with some
strength and dexterity set my coracle,
keel downward, on the surface.

If the people as body render al :
Individual service of any kind it
must be paid for. The people i. e. the
government annually issues stamps,
stamped envelops and postal cards
from $50 to SS5,O00,000 Each of
these pieces are paid for at their face
value when possession goes from the
government to the individual, and
each one is redeemed by the govern
ment, that is by the pee pie in the
Transmission of mail. The govern
ment, which is the people as body,
issue $300,OO0,OOO paper currency
which it pays out for salaries and
services rendered by one set of indi-
viduals and redeems in services which
the body of the people have rendered
to other individuals. Such cur
rency redeemable in taxes would be
safest and best currency the people
could have. Made Il legal tender for
all debts it would pass freely from
hand to hand, and with the annual
expenditures of $5OO,OOO,O 900 it would
be redeemed for services at least once
each year, and would be ready for
use again by the government in pay
ment of other salaries and revenues
it might require. This is the kind of
money advocated by Calhoun, by
] efferSOn and jackson instead of
6ank money, and it is the kind of
money that will save the people mil
lions of interest by saying bond is
sues for the purchase of gold.

Medicine

1t is true wisdom for every
body to take thorough course of
Swift's Specific just at this season
OF the year. The blood is sluggish
and impoverished, and the system
is full of impurities which should
be eliminated. In addition to
thoroughly cleansing the blood,
and toning up the system so as to
avoid loss of appetite and a gem
eral rundown feeling in the
spring, S. S. S. so strengthens and
builds up as to fortify against the
many forms of dangerous illness
that abound during the hot sum-
mer season. 1t is very small
matter to take this precaution but
it insures health and strength all
summer. Swift's Specific

Wasting His Time.

Secretary Gage is wasting his time
And while he is wasting his time he is
wasting the time which belongs to
the American people. LII may be that
MIR. Gage believes that his bogy imam
of international blmetallism will
attract attention, but if Mr.. Gage
believes that, it is only another proof
that AIR. Gage and men of his class
are not acquainted with the rank
and file of the people. His platitudes
about the republican party being in
favor of international bimetallism
sound extremely stale in the light of
past events. His generalities about
national honor and faith of the gov
he ear.
We care nothing about what he has
to say of the republican party's atti-
tude toward international bimetal-
ism. We know that it wants the
gold standard retained until interua.
tional bilnetalllsm can be secured.
and we know also that to retain the
gold standard until that time means
that we will have it through all eter-
nifty. The Influences which around
Mr. Gage may ne such that he cannot
nnd r.tand the temper of,the Ameri-
IN people. Just now the people are
showing "a great interest in Cuba, bu,
Mr. Gage and his friends must not
delude themselves into the belief that
thinking of Cub. has caused the
people to forget the money question.
The ignis fatuus Of 'iuternatiopai bi-
metallism" is not Turing men into the
gold standard swamp now. 1t de-
ceived great uauy in 1886, but the
people have learned lesson since
then. They know an ignis fatuus
from a locomotive headlight and can
see as far into a grindstone as Mr..
Gage can. Ii Mr.. Gage imagines that
he is deceiving anybody, it is Mr..
Gaze who is being eceived.-Omaha
