Uncertainty of Mines.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

For several weeks after the outbreak OF
the war fishing smacks and ocean liners
plunged gayly through the mine fields in
New York harbor, making a havoc among
the submarine defenses but meeting with
no injuries themselves. Recently in Guam
tanamo harbor the screw blades of the
Texas and other American war ships ran
afoul of Spanish torpedoes and never a one
of these war engines went off. The other
day an old schooner was placed over a mine
off Fortress Monroe and apparently blown
into smithereens; yet later the old hulk was
found floating around Chesapeake bay. and
an examination of her bottom showed that
II had not been damaged even so much as
to cause the theoretically demolished ves-
sci 10 take water. All OF which will give
the lay mind an impression that torpedoes
and submarine mines are dangerous chiefly
to visiting battle ships anchored in the

Nothing causes more annoyance to the
British bluejacket than the regulations af-
fecting trivial details of dress which the
Admiralty are so fond of issuing.
Whoever is responsible for some of those
regulations must he a humorist of no mean
capacity: though his efforts are viewed by
Jack in any but humorous light. The rea-
son of this is that as Jack has to purchase
all his own uniforms, he has to bear the
expense OF making the petty alterations
which the caprice of the authorities from
time to time deem necessary.
Just recently an Admiralty order was is
sued which directed that in future the tapes

The Sword.

The sword is terrlbIe-the sword
Us God, the God of hosts, the Lord
Who yet leads forth a chosen band
To lift the curse that loads land.
Through tears of women. blood of men,
His peace on earth must come again.
The rusting sheath when Right is wronged-
The faintlng fear-feet leaden-shod,
Or eyes in shameless sleep prolonged
Nay, these are terrible as Ged,
AS sharp as truth, dread as death.
That never stified freedoms breath!

New York Letter.

INV IUIh IAtINCIs
Already in telling the story of our indie
pendence day and its consecutive celebra-
ton, Ii is always recalled that just fifty
years after the Declaration was adopted
two of the men who drafted the instrument
and who afterward became Presidents OF
the Republic died Thomas Jefferson and
John Adams, and 1t was also upon the 4th
of July that another President who was a
young soldier in the time OF the revolution
and who gave his name to principle which
has kept the American hemisphere free
from European interference or conquest
James Monroe, also passed away.

Confederacy was reached, and the collapse

that came from Gettysburg that Lee and

Wheat.

The commercial reports show a steady
decline in prices all along the line, where
there is any change. The little rallies
that take place in grain are speedily lost
with tendency for lower prices in the
near future. All indications point that
wheat has commenced its downward
course i'll pursuit Of its old friend silver,
An ounce of silver is likely to buy a
bushel of wheat year hence, as it used
to for many years previous to the abnor-
NAL rise for the crop of 1897, caused by a
failure of the crop everywhere but in
North America. The crop south of the
equator which is now going into market,
is reported large, while the crop prospects
in countries that harvest their grain from
March on till the wheat crop of the
United States is ready for market the
present year, are reported good.
This is the substance of the reports that
are made weekly by the commercial
papers, which are opposed to making
reports averse to their prosperity" pre-
lenses, if they could any way avoid it.
They are obliged to state the prices cur
rent of staple goods, hence the gloomy
outlook they are compelled to acknowl-
edge for grain and cotton.
Corn, oats, hay and other farm crops
did not rise with the price of wheat in
1897, which is proof that conditions were
unchanged which had produced the low
prices of every product of industry. 1t is
almost dead certainty that wheat will go
no higher and that it will gradually settle
back to so or 90 cents bushel for the
crop now in the ground

A Gross SANDER.

We clip the following from the Wash
ington Post for the purpose ofdenouncing
it in terms as forcible as we can command
1t says:
"The Navy Department has closed a
contract for 5000 tons of coal, to be
delivered at such points and at such times
as the department shall hereafter desig-
nate. 1t is understood that it is Senator
Hanna's company which undertakes to
deliver the COAL"
The man who would intimate that the
Navy Department, or any other depart
ment under President McKinley's admin
istration, would favor Senator Hanna
with contract for coal without giving all
the world an opportunity to compete in
furnishing the United States with that
necessary article, would denounce St.
Paul's conversion as a political trick.
Senator Hanna many have the best coal,
and he may have it located at every port
on both the Atlantic and the Pacific,
where he will sell it cheaper than any
body else, and in that way have an
opportunity to furnish the United States
with coal, but he has not, and never has
had, the slightest show of making any
contract with the United States with
Mckinley as President unless every cir
cumstauce connected with the transaction
was favorable to the government, and
more favorable than could be obtained
from ouv other persOu This iS affirmed
by every free silver Democrat, silver Re-
publican, and Populist in the United
States, however much the goldites may
doubt it, and we challenge the Post or
any other hide-b Republican sheet
TO deny it.-SIiaey Knight

The Gold Monopoly Danger

Senator Stewards SiIoey KNIGHT most
truly says, 1--WE arc now entering on a
most momentous contest. Gold monop-
oily has the Executive and is making
superhuman efforts to control both Hous-
es of Congress. In that event legislation
will be devised whereby the machinery of
government control for the good of the
people will be placed in the hands of
bankers, money changers and stock
jobbers with which to tax, harass and
impoverish the masses of the people.
You must not allow gold monopoly TO
acquire complete title to the two Houses
of Congress, for if you do your govern
ment is despotism.
There is no passion SO wicked as avarice
There lis no sin so reaching and de-
structive as usury.
