TIE dropping of yer by the democ

TIE dropping of Il yer nv the der,oc-
racy az national Issue is progressing
quietly throughout the whole countrx
Some who believe 10 free siiy.r ADM, tho
utter lmpossIbility of securing itand can
dldiy delare the futility OF longer con
tending for 1t. Judge Cratic of this CITY
was among the first To announ, "a his he
lief that free silver was uuattainsbl,.
He perceived that before the election
demonstrated the soundness of bis views.
He was the Siiverthorn Of free silver
democracy In this coanty, being a cham
pion OF free silver long before the Ch,caoo
p atform was adopted and was ALWAYS its
earnest advocate. Though be was earnes,
be was conservative and now frankly ad-
mlts that Its continued agitation Is nm
wise.
E S. Schmitz, district attorney elect.
also 40 ardent silver man, admits that as
issue 1t must be dropped as it IL Use
less to contend for its success. Gaorye
Hui OF Amigo chairman of the Lanplade
democratic county committee was in the
city last week. He has been an entbnsi.
astic silver man, but before election he
came satisfied defeat was certain To fol
low its advocacy. Not a word was snoken
during the campaign ia that county nf
silver and The democrats were successful
there. George says that If be goes to the
| next state convention as a delegate, his
voice will be IN favor of dropping silver
aud shat 10 delegate should be sent to
the national convention who favors It's
continued agitation.
There Is practically no silver sentiment
left ID this county and but very little
| throughout the state. There Is danger,
however, that search will be made for
| new Issue" That means departure
from the Inc of democratic principle. as
t IS apt to end In an effort to carry
an election on some hseting prejudice.
II we adhere strictly to belief 10 the sep
arition of government from everything
/ which 1t Is not the function of govern
ment to deal with, there Will be no need
OF searching for issues as the party will
| meet them IN Its line of duty.

1t seems that negotiations with Spain

CASHIERS BRIGHT IDEA.
Would Sell the Cold Filings in His
Teeth and Go to Alaska.

The cashier looked excited the
other morning and could scarcely
wait until he had opened the vault
before he began
Il say, I'm beastly tired Of working
here like a slave when fellows are
digging up the Klondyke regions"
There are Others" was the gentle
reply Of the shipping clerk.
THAT doesn't help me any" re-
turned the cashier. The fellows up
there seem to have all kinds of Joy
and pleasure digging up the gold"
The bookkeeper yawned. The son
Of wealthy parents, the Klondyke
stories did not appeal to him as to
the others. Why don't you go up
there?" he asked carelessly.
The little eyes OF the cashier twin
killed. and he cried, joyfully: II ann

clerk.

I'm going"
Better have the auditor in the
miuule or the month instead or walt
ing until the first OF next IL you keep
up this kind Of talk suggested the
bookkeeper.
Where will you raise the dust ?"
elegantly asked the shipping clerk,
leaving his desk ard going over to the
cashiers cage,
why, I've got it all planned out, F."
cried the cashier, speaking 80 eagerly
that he fairly stumbled over his
words. The other day read in the
papers that gold filings would drop
out Of teeth up in the Klondyke
Now, you know how much my teeth
have cost me? Well, I'm going to
have those gold filings taken out and
silver ones put in, and when | sell the
gold filings I'll have plenty to take
me up there, won't 70" and he looked
90 happy In his belief that neither
the bookkeeper nor the shipping
clerk had the heart to suggest that
there might be difficulty in finding a
purchaser for the gold filings after
they were removed.

THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN.

The native Hawaiian Is a gentleman
OF leisure. Life to him Is a perpetu-
al holiday. and, as q native OF para
disc, why should he fret about the
dull cares OF this world? Nature
has spread a bounteous feast for him,
and like Adam of old, he has only to
pluck the fruit which grows without
toll eat and breathe The national
food Of the native Is poi, fish, and
pork. Poi Is made from taro root, a
water plant, boiled and beaten to a
pulp OF the consistency Of Cruel, and
allowed to slightly ferment, when it
Is very nutritious, The natives table
Is n mat spread upon the door or
ground, on which Hes pot; roast pig
and fish are placed In separate Gala
bashes. Squatted or sitting cross
legged about this sumptuou5 feast the
Kanakas proceed to regale them
selves, scornlng the use Of knives and
forks, Their dessert Is the papaya
oranges, bananas bread-fruIt, straw.
berries, and other fruit Of the tropics.
The primitive Kanala home is made
Of grass, There are many grass
houses left on the islands. Surround
ed by broad leaves, bananas, and
blooming magnolias, they are charm
ing aud picturesque. Here the male
inhabitants recline In the shade
throughout the heat OF the day, while
from the doorway peeps forth the
laughing eyed, dualSy maiden, shy
yet artful and coquetlsh In her coy
ness, The home Ia very simple, but
at the same time neat. The house Is
without any means OF heating or
cooking. The former Ii never
necessary, and all cooking is done
In the Imu, or pit dug In the earth,
baked with heated stones, while the
boiling la done In pots over a camp
fire near the building Entering
one Of those grass houses discovered
that about one-half of it was raised to
about two and a half feet, cushioned
with mattress on It for bed, while
the remainder was the bare earth.
The raised part affords a seat during
the day and a bed at night Here the
entire family and visitors, without
regard to age or sex, sleep side by
side. The grass house Is said to be
not only proof against those trouble
some insects, the mosquitoes but
capable OF turning rain. Cooley i

ON THE RACK.

What. do l believe that the Rus
slams torture prisoners with the Undue
ton coil? o, very likely
HIN! for myself l discount what
the papers say pretty considerably,
Russia's always a safe topic. Now, as
to this torturing by electricity that
they're so hot on now, can't credit
that in the least. It's far too mediae-
val. Besides, evidences extorted in
such manner would be worthless"
THAT last argument is sound
enough" replied my companion; "but
what you say of torture being out Of
date won't hold water"
He stretched out two wrists under
railway carriage.
See those heavy scars Pretty
bracelets, aren't they? Well, those,
sir, were bestowed on me by an ANA
teur torturer, who worked rack as
neatly as ever did your medieval tor
menter OF the tower. l should tell you
that am an engineer. That's my
name there on that luggage label, You
know it? All, yes, Of course; that
little racket drill. But that was just
by idea. My lines smelting-cop-
per smelling; and in that perhaps, it's
not egotism to say I'm bit of a spe-
Galist.
You see was the man who found
out-well to bother you with technt-
calities-one of the most important
things the modern copper-smelter has
got. stuck to that one subject for
years, pushing through experiment
after experiment, and making money
out of the side issues but always just
missing the main point. And at last
the thing worked out itself.
II expect my head got bit swelled
fool, when the experiment had run tt
self through, must needs go out and
brag about it; go along to the club,
and get up on my hind legs and bray
like jack-donkey.
AT last goodnight time came, and
| we parted, | marching on amid
shower Of inquiries as to whether I'd
bought the street, and II I couldn't
lend an old friend a quarter OF a mill

On the road home I kicked myself
(metaphorically. OF course) every step
Of the way. If ever blatant fool de-
served a licking l was the man. But,
| for all that. didn't expect to get one.
However. 1t came. Two days after
that silly performance at the club, sir,
was kidnapped in the public street.
1T was late at night and was walk

and my hands in my pockets. A big

tained from bird called the egret
found In China. Japan. Egypt, and
South America, and sometimes II
Florida Some OF these feather
come directly from South America,
where, along the upper waters OF tn
Amazon, the Indians shoot the birds
with blow tubes and small arrows.
But Paris Is the market OF the world
for aigrettes, Just as London Is for
ostrich plumes. and the greatest part
OF the imports come directly from the
French capital. Within the past two
months aigrettes to the value OF $780,.
900 have been imported
There are two varieties OF a!grette,
the long and the short, and their
value Is In inverse proportion to
their size. The short variety, which
is obtained from smaller bird, Ia
extremely delicate and fine, and Is
worth from 500 to s25 per ounce.
Only few feathers on each bird are
valuable, and It la estimated that
fifty or sixty birds would have to be
killed to obtain an ounce OF the
worth not much more than half "a
much.
These feathers are looked after al
shorter nIgrette. The long aigrette Is
carefully by the appraisers as ara
precious stones. They are imported In
soldered tin boxes, and are locked up
and guarded until they are examined.
They are invoiced In the Brazilian
unit OF value, refs, which Ia very
small, 80 chat figures giving the
values OF the Imports are often
startlingly large. One importation OF
these feathers was recently invoiced

amount which In American gold is
equal to about $100.--New York Mail
