It is also insisted in some quarters
that if the Valee of money does not
depend upon the intrinsic or CONNER
cial value of the material of which it
is composed, that then its value rests
upon the credit of the government
which authorizes its issue This con-
tention leads to absurdity. Money in
the government treasury or exaeted
under the taxing power, from the peo-
pie, or at least obtained in some man
ner, is the only means by which the
government can meet the pecuniary de-
mands upon it. The credit of the gov
eminent is good or bad, according to
its ability and readiness promptly to
meet its obligations and pay its debts
Credit thus does not give value TO
money. On the other hand, without
money credit could not exist. Credit
is not the basis of money, bit money
is the basis of credit. Credit in a gov
ernment without money or the means
of Obtaining it is inconceiyable. This
idea that credit gives value to money
is of very recent origin. 1t is put forth
as one of the supports of the policy of
contraction and to give it popularity.
If the people can be made to believe
that every dollar which is issued is
debt and burden which they must ul-
timately discharge. they will be the
more easily convinced that the num-
Der of dollars issued should be as small
as possible. Recent efforts in congress

States treasury notes for cancellation,
and for funding them in interest bear
ing bonds, were pursuant to this pol
icy. Had these efforts been successful
the next step. would have been to fund

CAPTURED BY. HARRIS.
After music by the band and banjo
and guitar selection, Hon. Fisher s.
Harris was introduced. He got hold
or the audience at once, and 1t an un-
usually happy vein, shot out lot of
nard facts, being frequently Interrupted
with bursts of applause. He opened
with reference to the kindness with
which the people of Bingham had al
ways treated him.. and referred feeling
iy to the gratitude he felt for their
warm interest in his political welfare.
He had gone into the state convention
without much hope of winning the con-
gresSional nomination, but prepared to
abide cheerfully by the decision of his
party-a party which had many times
in the past conferred high honors upon
him. He endorsed the state and county
tickets, and urged his friends TO sup
port them at the polls. He discussed
the hopes and prospects of the silver
cause, and declared with great earnest
ness Ihat the men and women or Utdh
who cast their votes for Republicanism
or for any compromise between Re
publicanism and Democracy, place
stumbling block in the way of none
tary reform, and aid in fostering the
gold standard permanently upon the
nation.
In referring to the statement made
by the Tribune that nobody in Utah
was fighting silver, MIR. Harris called
attention TO the fact that all the lead
ers of the Republican party in Utah
were in favor of the gold standard and
stood squarely upon the st. Louis plat
form. Wesley K. Walton, chairman of
the state committee, and Dennis c.
Eiehnor, chairman of the Salt Lake
county committee, are both Mckinley
Republicans, and in seeking appoint
ments to Office from the present admin
istration, they had based their claims
upon their loyalty to the policies of
the president.
He discussed the war and declared
that no party should be permitted to
ride into office because of the success
full prosecution of a war waged by
American patriots and won by Ameri-
can valor. In closing, Mr.. Harris dis
cussed the basic principles of the two
parties, and gave many reasons for the
Democratic faith that was in him.

Ing the eunuch during the examination
which the physician found Imperative.
When the examination was ended, the
eunuch returned to my room and dis
cussed the case with the physician,
making suggestions which the physician
seemed to gravely consider.
Owing to the customs Of the orient,
the precautions observed in the harem
are admirable for preserving the repu-
tation of the ladies from the scandal
which envious tongues might circulate,
especially should the patient be pretty,
young and vivacious. Even the princess
submitted to this rigid rule of the eu-
much 8 presence with grace that quite
won me. None of her female attendants
was ever permitted to be present when
her physician visited her. Protected by
the customs of the harem, the breath Of
SANDER dared not assail one whom the
word of eunuch could and would de-
clare to have been subject to his vigi-
lance while consulting her medical adj

SpOOk Doctors.

How will doctors, who are just now
doing their best to repress unregistered
practitioners, regard the invasion Of
their domain by spiritualistio mediums?
One Of these gentlemen has lately been
supplying prescriptions supposed to have
been written by a celebrated doctor
who some time ago left the pursuit Of
terrestrial medicine for the spirit world,
but who seems to be anxious to con-
tinue his practice by means Of trance
mongers. II this be not unfair competi-
tion, it is difficult to know what might
reasonably be regarded as coming under
that head. A bona fide chemist would
naturally object to make up presorip-
hon alleged to be written by defunot
person, but it seems that apothecaries
who believe in spiritualism are not
averse to compromising medicines from
these eerie documents A mathematical
pharmacop9ia will in all probability
people the spirit world much more rap
idly than has hitherto been the oase.-

Pearls.

AS yet the origin of pearls is matter
of mere speculation. The old theory
that they were CONCEALED dewdrops
pierced by sunbeams'' was supported
by naturalists as late as 1854 and is evil
denced in Venetian medal bearing an
open oyster she'll receiving drops Of
rain, with the motto, "By the Divine
Dew" Later conchologists, however,
contend that the pearl nucleus may be
some minute particle, as a grain of sand,
or the frustule of diatom, or tiny
parasite, or perhaps one of the ova of
the pearl oyster itself. This particle or
foreign body is gradually surrounded
by thin layers of nacre until it is COM
pletely encysted and the pearl formed.
The consecutive layers may vary in
brightness and color, and defect may
be caused by contact with another for.
eign substance, thus changing the value
with each new layer, and sometimes
causing a Lively kernel" or "seed" to
be inclosed in an apparently poor pearl.

as short work as possible of bringing

1t is stated that President Mckinley

and the sinking of Spanish gunboats
without further delay.
1t can be stated on authority that the
