FOR THE" MENTALLY WEARIED.

We have received from the Ameri can Publishing company of San Fran cisco a copy of ''The American King" a romance carrying with it history of monetary legislation of America and silver in particular" We are as sured by the publishers that although restful and entertaining it is looked upon as a campaign book" Certainly a restful campaign book is sufficiently out of the ordinary to attract atten- tion. If you are interested in the free and unlimited coinage of silver" the publishers add, "we would say that this book may prove as powerful factor in obtaining it, as the story of Uncle Toms Cabin was in freeing the slaves Following this line of argu- ment, we assume that if we are not in terested in the free and unlimited coin age of silver the book may not prove effective in securing the ends sought by the silver propaganda Frankly, the book does not warrant the claim made by it's publishers. It does not rise above the level of c1ap-trap. One chapter is devoted to "the rich and poor of New York" The author is not a discoverer. The conditions he describes are as old as humanity itself. Give this country the largest 'per capita in its history, make silver coin as plentiful as sand On the desert, and yet there would be misery and soul destroying poverty in the great cities. The author foolish1y, assumes that hu- man nature would change if silver should be given unlimited coinage. If there was no money but silver (and free coinage would soon produce that condition) the status of the people would not change. Men who become rich under one financial system would speedily accommodate themselves to another. We shall always have the rich and the poor, no matter what the form of the circulating medium.
 The publishers of "The American King" say that the book is designed to reach the understanding of those who are mentally wearied and will not tax the brain with the more serious prob lens of life" There is an inference in this declaration that may not nave occurred to the person who penned it. The book is to be circulated on the Pacific coast before introducing it east" Here is slap at the mentality of Pacific coast readers. Bimetallic leagues and their members are to be given the same reduced rates as retail dealers. There is no reference in the to insane asylums, but we have no idea that there will be any dis against them, inasmuch as this rival of Uncle Toms Cabin is intended for those who are mentally

In the last war Uncle Sam paid over per cent interest on borrowed money. Now he easily borrows at per cent. The basis of this high credit is the honorable fulfillment of all govern ment obligations -Globe-Democrat
 The difference has arisen from the fact that it was doubtful in the civil war whether there was going to be any Uncle Sam.-Houston Post
 The doubt never existed north of Mason and Dixon's line. Your Uncle Samuel was very much in evidence all the time his refractory southern rela- tives were making things lively for him. Even the present war, with its obliteration of sectional lines, is not enough to make the Post drop its rebel ideas.

The administration is going ahead as fast as possible with the gigantic task of equipping and feeding the army. It takes time to produce rifles and cartridges and serviceable shoes and clothing. Compared with the first months of the civil war, when thou sands of the troops had to fight with discarded foreign muskets, and wear shoddy clothing and sleep under shoddy blankets, the achievements now in the way of equipment are astonishing. The most serious task of all has been the Ticking into shape" of the men en- listed. Arizonians may form an ac- curate idea of what has been accom- plished in this direction from the case of the Arizona troops. Two months ago these young fellows were pursuing 2 their vacations here. They today are being talked about the country over as daring Rough Riders" Thousands Of men equally inexperienced are nov our chief reliance in the land opera tions against Spain. And yet the dem ocrats are complaining of the admin istration's delay" This very delay is proving the nations safeguard. There are to be no Bull Runs in this war.

 Mud guards on bicycles and wagons are replaced by a new device, in which a rotary brush is mounted on an axle and inclosed in casing in close prox- imity to the tire, to be revolved by a gear shaft and friction disk to scrape the mud and water from the tire.
 An improved method of attaching the collar and tie to a shirt consists of loops formed on the collar, tie and neckband, through which a spring ring is forced, which extends nearly around the neck under the tie and pre- vents the slipping of collar and tie.
 A Virginia inventor has designed a self-closing umbrella which has a number of light-coiled springs con- meeting the braces and the slide on the handle to force the latter down as soon as button at the lower end of the handle releases the locking device.

 Although all the old British battle ships wore elaborately carved figure heads on their bows. modern vessels are not allowed any such sort of decor ations, by virtue of an order of the ad- miralty issued about three years ago In 1897 the regular Liverpool lines brought into the Mersey over 251.00r head of cattle from the United States and Canada, and the total loss was not more than 454 head, or about one-sixth of 1 per cent.

Services were over and the crowd
was standing around in groups dis
cussing the weather and other minor
topics as is the custom in the country,
each one decked in his Sunday best.
While scrutinising tho crowd We
caught sight ofan old gentleman and
his wife and two daughters slowly |
descending the church steps. The
man Was stopped sho1dered, his
shaggy beard was tinged Nth gray !
and his clothes were far froA beipy
