Nut BE Fought out.

The Springfield Register sees
through the smoke Of battle. anent
the late election, the well defined issue
of bimetallism as the slogan which
will rally victorious hosts two wears
hence. 1t is an issue that viii have
to be met in the open in the first year
of the coming century. The repub-
lican party, now recognized a. the
single gold standard party, Will not
be able to dodge behind international
bimetallism" at the next presidential
election. That scheme was worked
to a finish in 1896. The Register
says: There are not enough of gold
standard men in the democratic party
to form even corporal's guard, and
these viii either find their home in
the republican party before 1900 or
viii be recOnciled to accept the ma
jOrity rule in their own party. and
fall into line with their democratic
brethren. One thing the returns from
the late elections show and that is
there Will be no gOldite democratic
ticket in the field in 1900. Ben T..
Cable, OF this state, has taken the only
sensible democratic view of the situa-
ton for those democratic friends who
strayed away in 1896. He sees more
to approve in the Chicago platform
than in the republican, and more to
approve than to disapprove-so ne
comes back into the fold and agrees
to abide 10y the decision of the major
ity of his fellow democrats. In other
words he cOnfesses that he is not wiser
and greater than his party. The State
Register thinks this will he the con-
clusiOn of 4 vast majority of the dis
affected democrats Of 1896 in Illinois
at least, and we believe in the entire
country. This is one of the features
of the recent elections that i visible
amid the smoke OF battle Not a
gOldite democratic ticket has been put
in the field anywhere. Not demo
cratic convention, state or local. in
the entire county has adopted plank
favOring the single gold standard.
Not an election return, so far as re-
ceiyed shows that the democratic party
is weaker on this account than it
otherwise would have been; but on
the other hand it is shown by the re-
turns that a clear and open and cOur-
ageOus fight for bimctallism has been
productive of good and substantial re-
suits of benefits to the party, if not al
ways Of party victory. The demo
cratic party viii stand out in 1900 as
the great and only bimetallic party of
the nation, and viii be successful

of the navy board, or if that proved i'm
possible, to express his opinion.
Sir John PhilIimore painted one side
of his old yellow frigate black and
white and used the rest of the black
paint in printing on the other side in
large letters, ''No more paint.
The navy board wrote to call his at

officially, Your affectionate friends. -
To this Sir John replied that he could
not obliterate the Objectionable letters
unless he was given more paint and
signed himself in turn. Your affec-
tionate friend, John PhiIlimore. "
The navy board then called his atten-
ton to the improperly of the signature,
to which Sir John replied, acknowledge

that the paint had not been sent and

Beneficial Effects of Coffee.

A woman writer who gave up coffee
recently found that she was unable to
continue her writing with any success
until she had resorted again to the slim
ulating beverage. Without it her mind
was logy and heavy. The Medical Times
quotes an authority ON the subject Of
prescribing coffee as a medicine in GER
tain states of great debility and adds:
Tea and coffee seem to be much
alike in many respects, but the latter is
greatly preferable as TO its sustaining
power. 1t would be q great advantage
to our working classes and a great help
toward the further development Of So
cial sobriety if coffee We're TO come into
greatly increased use and if the ability
to make it well could be acquired. AS
an example of the difference of effect of
tea and coffee upon the nerves the
writer notes what he believes many
sportsmen will confirm-that it is far
better to drink coffee than tea when
shooting Tea, if strong or i'll any guam
tity, especially if the individual be not
in very robust health, will induce a sort
of nervousness which is very prejudicial
to steady shooting. Under its influence
one is apt to shoot too quickly, whereas
coffee steadies the hand and gives quiet
nerves -

FEAR OF RAIN IN CUBA.
The Evil Eject Of Water II Not Mere
Superstition There.

Superstition There.
The average Cuban Is dreadfully
afraid Of rainwater. He believes that
drenching in rainsto-m, followed by
exposure to the rays of the sun, pro-
duces feve--cot necessarily yellow fe-
yer, but an attack something similar to
what IS known as swamp fever in Mis-
sissippi or chaGres in the isthmus of
Panama.
the same belief prevails in Central
and South America, but in q greater
degree. On both coast lines of Nicaragua
z light shower is the signal for gen.
eral scampering indoors and disin-
clination TO come out again until the
sky IS perfectly clear Up on the high
plateau on which the city of Caracas in
Venezuela is situated and where there
should be little or no lear of fever the
natives are afraid to get even their
faces wet. At the first appearance of a
rainstorn the cab drivers, of whom
there are more than 400, put up oilcloth
screens in front of them and direct the
course of the horses through a couple Of
peephoies, avoiding even a slight splash
in the face.
All strangers from northern ATTITUDES
visiting Caracas are advised that not
only IS rain dangerous, but that it is
not safe TO take a bath within ten
days after their arrival. Men accustom-
ed to daily plunge find this advice
difficult to follow, especially in such a
warm climate. Most OF them disregard
it and find that it does them no harm,
and that it is Il superstition based upon
the Iaziness that follows a residence in
an atmosphere so eueryating that the
dogs are too tired to get out Of the way
of the horse if the horse wasn't too
tired to step on them.
The Cuban fear Of rain, however, is
based upon experience and isnOt mere
