Senator Teller has carried out his
threat and introduced the resolution
proposed by Stanley Matthews in 1878.
declaring United States bonds PAYABLE
in silver as well as gold, and he says
the silver majority of the senate fin
ance committee will report it, and COM
pei the so-caned bimetal1ists of the VOL
colt and Chandler pattern to declare
themselves-to get down on one
side of the fence or the other. Mr.. Teller
says further that the senate will adopt
the resolution, which is doubtless pos
sible. Times have changed since STAN
ley Matthews day, and the significance
Of the resolution is not quite what it
was then. Its present purpose, as Mr..
Teller substantially confesses, is po1it-
icaa, and neither Wolcott nor Chandler
will thank him for thus putting them
in the frying pan to try them out and
show what they are made of. The res
olution contains a paragraph to the eff
feet that none of the governments
creditors would suffer if the bonds were
paid in silver but that is a palpable
misrepresentation of fact, and by Gus
tom the word "coin" has been so long
interpreted as meaning gold. that a vote
for the resolution is virtually vote to
break the faith of the government.
Though there may be no written agree
ment to pay in gold, there is a tacit I'M
derstanding to that effect, the world
over, or wherever United States bonds
are known. The actual situation in the
senate is now pretty well understood in
the money centres of the world, and the
resolution will be estimated at it's prop
er value-wind, and would-be but inn
potent mischief

There has been a vast increase in the
cotton exports from this country the
past year, the total being about 5000 600
bales, or 1,4OO,OOO more than in 1896.
More than one-half of the total went to
England. There was an increase Of
some 100000 bales in English consump-
ton and about the same for the CONT
nent Of Europe. About 10000 bales have
gone to Japan direct and 1000 to China.
Some 10000 bales were reshipped from
England to India. The outlook, appar-
emily, was never more favorable, de-
spite the expressions Of Encouragement
that have come from the south, and the
diversion of a part of the cotton area
to wheat growing. New York cotton
brokers seem positively jubilant over
the outlook.

score was played by his pupils, Miss

Senator Joseph G. Foraker shows the
stuff he is made Of by the remark that
if the administration opposes him, there
will not be q republican congressman
elected in Ohio, next fall. On the whole,
we think we would consent to some sac

ker. He has been marplot from the
beginning of his career, and one of the
most pestiferous elements in Ohios pes

Congressman Moody sustained his
reputation in the house, Wednesday, in
the speech which he made for the i'm
provement of the civil service. 1t is
clear enough that the service must de-
generate if it becomes a settled fact that
a man once inside, is sure of his posi-
ton for life. Periodic examinations
and an age limit are perhaps as eff
Gent safeguards and correotives as can
be devised though like all things hui
man, they are not perfect in operation.

The sale of only ISL of the more than
400 shares of cotton stocks advertised
by Boston brokers was recorded
Wednesday. 1t would appear that the
would-be sellers placed too high a limit
upon the bids. They did not think de-
probation had progressed far. The fact
is, some of the cotton mills are not hit by
southern competition at all, though it is
over the south that all the fuss has been
made. These mills may have other
troubles to contend with, but Congress-
man Dlngley IS no doubt right. when he
says the condition is temporary and ex-
ceptional, and the mills will survive it
and the owners be happy yet.

the license laws in operation in western
states, should be able to acquire a
large stock of knowledge as to methods.
The assortment of systems is as large
as the variety of drinks, but the prob
lem is to find what is best adapted to a
given community. There are certain
places where even prohibition works
well. Generally these are residence
cities and towns neighboring to larger
city, where prohibition would be as i'm
possible as an ordinance against swear

Mather came of good old English stock,
and it is with pardonable pride that to
him Miss Margaret Mather, the well
known actress who is to occupy the
boards Of the Worcester Theatre for the
remainder of the week, traces her line
age.
The earliest of Cotton Msther's an
cestors of whom authentic record has
been kept, was named John, and he
was native OF Winwick parish, in
Lancashire. His son was named
Thomas, and that sons wife was the
first Matner to bear the name of Mar
garet. Her son, Richard, was the
grandfather of Cotton Mather.
That the Mathers even in the old days
were people of note, is shown by the
family arms and crest, which, described
in the peculiar language of the herald,
were "F,rTnine on Jesse wavy azure,
three lions rampant or; crest, a lion Sc
DAFT or" The ermine would indicate
that some one Of the family held a
judgeship, while Jesse means the belt of
a knight, and both the lions and the
color or gold der cte Importance.

II have been asked by many peo-
pie to draw the attention of owners
of London carriage horses to the
cruely which they inAict by allowing
their coachmen to use unnecessarily
tight bearing reins. | am quite sure
il they would only realise how much
they disfgure and vulgarise their
otherwise smart equipage and horses
by tight bearing reins, they would
give orders to their coachmen to
be careful that they are properly
adjusted. The bearing rein, in my
humble opinoin, has its use as much
as its abuse, 80 / do not ask that it
should be altogether discarded. /

member how much better their
horses look when their heads are in
natural position instead of what
is commonly know as 'star-gazing."
