The vote on the Teller resolution
in Congress, shows that both Houses
have u majority for silver, but it is
stated on good authority that some
soa,d money men took this oppor-
tunity to make themselves solid with
free silver constituents by 50 voting,
since the letter, though not the spirit
Of the resolution, was in contor-
nifty with the law us it now stands,
aud therefore not opposed to their
principles. Be that as it may, such
temporlzing does not command re.
spcct, con'uses the public mind, and
complexities the situation.

PLUGGING THE PIANO.
from the Heavy Pedal by
Simple Means.

cit is a familiar fact - said Mr.. Gozzleby,
"or 1t Is a fact at least familiar to all fond
parents, that children, without exception,
ike to play the piano with the hard pedal
on all the time. All children Ike to make all
the noise they can, in playing the piano as IN
everything else Playing upon the piano
without the heavy pedal does not disturb me
at all; but the minute the heavy pedal Is put
on I am greatly disturbed, and the continued
resOunding of the notes fairly racks me
"Of course, can't be forever saying don {,
