The Anita Herald objects to our say
ing the democra lie party is making the
degradation of our currency an issue
because it says silver is now passing at
fifty cents on the dollar at Santiago
and we are under republican admin
istration. We are not yet legislating
for Santiago. United States silver
money is at par in this country. Neither
do we understand that our silver is
passing at discount in Santiago. 1t
might have done so short time,
but we do not think it now is. We
contend the demo-pop party desires to
degrade our currency, for do they not
say it is appreciated" money and
should be made worth less, or should
all come to the silver basis?

outcome of the congressional convcu-

suits all republicans quite well.

Fabulous Talo of the Costly Gems In tho
Peacock Throne Room.
Who has not heard of the Persian
Jewels-their glory, their number,
their priceless worth? When tho doors
were unlocked and / was taken into the
peacock throne room, [ found myself
surrounded by mass of wealth I'M
equaled i'll the world. Nowhere are such
treasures, but nowhere also is there
such an accumulation of rubbish |
Will, however, dismiss the rubbish and
refer only to the treasures. Down each
side of the room were chairs entirely
covered with shcetcd gold, and ut inter
walls were tables OF gold, nailed, l shud-
dercd to note, with the commonest of
black headed ,acks.
At the far end of the room was tho
wonder of the world. the peacock
throne Whether it is one OF the seven
thrones of the great mogul and was
brought from Delhi l don't know, but
1t Is certainly the NEST costly ornament
that the eye Of man can look upon
inspected 1t most carefully. 1t is entire

put modelled i'll lovely designs. 1t is in
bottom with diamonds.
At the back is star of brlliants that
makes you blink. The rug OH which the
shah sits is edged with precious stones,
and the pillow on which he roclincs is
covered with pearls. 1 could keep on
writing about the dazzling beauties of
the throne of the king of kings, but |
never could get beyond declaring it to
he superb jewel. Some people have
valued it ut 60, 600, 600. Its real value
Is between e2, 900, 900 and f3, 600, 600.
But, though the peacock throne is
the magnum opus of the Persian crown
jewels, it by no means cxtinguishes the
mnSnificence of the other treasures.

Lamps of the London Cabs.

thing that struck me about the
halsom cabs III London-this was some
years ago, but guess it's Just the same
now, said citizen of this town, twas
the fact that the lamps they carried all
had i'll the back 4 red glass about as biz,
as the end Of Il good sized spool. When
the lamps were lighted at night, they
all showed these two little red disks at
the rear. l don't know why this is So
maybe the lamps are all by one maker
ana its his fancy - hut | imagine
there's Il reason for it. Anyhow tho
effect Is picturesque, whether tho cabs
are seen singly or i'll numbers. In the
Strand for instance, one may see long
lines Of hansoms, all headed one way
and close together. Looking along these
lines from the rear enc sees an unbrokcn
series of red lights diminishing in the
perspective, and one secs also the little
red lights fitting here and there. They
don illuminate, but their color Ger.
talnly contributes to the variety and tho
gayety of the night scene.
"Onc sees these red lights mt the rear
OF New York hanson, but ONLY occa
slonally. Our hansoms are most of Them
we'll finished and mounted, many OF
them, for instance, carrying fine lamps:
but not many of them show the red
disks. Perhaps there's no reason why
they should, but like to see them. -
