Senator Mills of Texas is somewhat
tardy in grasping the situation, but
now he knows it thoroughly. He ha.,
cut entirely loose from the free silvei
craze and dismissed it with a farewell
kick. He thus sums up the whole free
silver problem in one clear smpl"
statement: IF we can open our minis
to the unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of ounce of gold for 10 ounces OF
silver, when in every market in the
world ! ounce of gold is worth )"
ulnces of silver. we will soon part with
all gold and have all silver. But that
is not bimetallism That is mono
metallism.

Mr.. BRYAN Ncqlects to Explain.

Mr.. BRYAN has been making tour
of the South. He has now hurried
back to Nebras ka, presumably to look
after his political fences which are
sadly out of repair in that section since
the Nebraska farmers began to pay off
their mortgages at such prodigious
rate. While in the South Mr.. Bryan

century could get but little applause
or appreciation except when he made
patriotic illusions to the Cuban situa-
ton and urged his hearers to rally
around the flag and uphold the govern
ment in the present national crisis.
This must have been bitter disap-
pointment to Mr.. Bryan. This was not
the condition of things he saGely pre-
dicted under Republican rule. This
was not what he had told his loyal
Southern supporters would he the case

SO often said was the case. in the cam
paign of 90. He found it most con-
venient to treat such questions with I
dignifed silence.
From the date when Mr.. Bryan was
nominated. in July. 1896, to March 10
of the present year, silver dropped from
So. to 5l.3 per ounce. This drop of
fifteen cents in silver should have

Ladies', Club.


Thursday, May 12. being the first
monthly meeting of the Ladies'
Club, a business meeting was held
at the residence of Miss Adele
Young.
After reports from different COM
was dispensed with, the questions
for discussion were taken up and a
lively interest manifested.
Gladstone, England's "Grand
Old Man." was one of the subjects
chosen, and the life of this great
diplomat proved very interesting
subject. The other subject was the
United States navy. This also was
greatly beneficial and the ladies of
tie Club feel now as if they know as
much of the navy as the sterner sex
do. Evangeline had been chosen
for study and much of Longfellow's
beauty and purity Of thought was
brought out by careful study of this
book. Miss Clye Mudd read an
able paper on the life Of our great
American poet.
Cooling refreshments were very
much enjoyed after SO much
mental work, and after partaking of
the delightful beverages which had
been prepared by the hostess, each
lady left, feeling that she was much
improved and instructed by the
Clubs literary afternoon.
