The declaration of the late preSl- dent HeureauX that the object of life was ito fight man and love womnn' brings us back to the age when man had all he could do to hold his own against other beasts. It will strike the gentle reader a little odd to hear such n prehistoric admission after two thousand years of Christianity. But the swarthy President of San Domingo was simply reiterating in blunt way n principle that has been discussed and even defended by generations of novelists. The fight goes on in the stock exchange to-day as tiercely as 1t did in the age of totemism, when the struggle for food was mans first and only occupation. As for the latter half of life's object shelves of yellow backed novels bear testimony that HeureauX stood not alone. Why must the heathen be saved. mutterS the pes silnist, when respected members of so- cety, who pay their annual pew rent, if they do not actually indorse Heu- reauX's philosophy, believe in the max i'm. Be virtuous if you can, if you cant be careful" Does the latter show any moral superiority to Heu- reauX's frank definition of life?

The predominant aspiration in the boy nature is the desire to be man. As he cannot be a man until he is grown he initiates the man to the best of his boyish ability. Next to his de- sire to be a man his strongest impulse is to do what the other boys do. The boy Is gregarious. He goes in drovcs usually, following the leadership of the loudest-voced and most pugnacious of his fellows. These two traits of the boy nature explain the recent strikes among the newsboys and messenger boys in New York, Pittsburg. Syracuse and Philadelphia The men, when they want their wages raised or shorter hours of labor, strike. It is only nat ural that the boys should follow the example of their elders. Adult strikers frequently mob other men who are will Ing to take their places. calling them "scabs' and other opprobious names. Boys follow their example by beating. or threatening to beat. their fellows who are willing to add to the family income by sticking to their employ ment. If the workinymen win strike in New York or Boston. others are en- couraged to go on a strike. If the newsboys and messenger boys of one city stop work for better pay, the strike epidemic spreads straightway among the boys in all cities. It's an old saying that boys will be boys, and it is equally true that boys want to be and do like other boys. While a boys strike lasts, however, 1t is usually a lively one. The spirit of gregariousness in the boy na ture insures this. What one boy does all the boys will do or want to do and when all the messenger or newsboys are on strike and preventing other boys from doing their work. there will be plenty of life. good deal of mis- chief and some destruction going for ward.

worthy of the name, who did not aspire to be the father and the grandfather of healthy, capable children to hand down his name and the fortune accumulated by the sweat of his brow, from generation to generation. There never was a wife fit to bear that noble title, who did not wish to wear womanhood's most glorious crown, the sceptre of motherhood Thousands of welded couples, otherwise happy, fall short of wedlock's greatest happiness be- cause they are childless. In the majority of cases, this Is because the wife, through ignorance or neglect, sufers from weak ness and disease of the organs distinctly way there is one great medicine that does not fail to accomplish its purpose. It IS Dr. Pieree's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate organs concerned and makes them strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and elastic.

Representative eject Clayton, Of
New York, who was elected to Con-
gress as democrat, has been express
ing opinions which show that he isn't
the same kind of a democrat that Mr..
Bryan is. Mr.. Clayton says he favors
gold standard legislation by this Con-
gress, and will vote for the bill. He
also announces that he favors Presi
dent McKinley's foreign policy, the
construction of an Isthmian Canal,
and the holding of the Philippines for
all time, in order to be sure of getting
our share of the immense trade of
South Eastern Asia. AS the national
parties stand to-day upon important
issues, Mr.. Clayton is a pretty good
republican, even if he does call him
self democrat.

THE HOUSE CURRENCY BILL.

The currency bill agreed upon by
the Republican Caucus Committee of
the House is at once simple and ex-
plicit. It has for it's purpose not the
establishing of any new currency sys-
TEN, but the str, ngthenirg of the old
by a reaffirmation and buttressing of
the gold standard. It follows pretty
closely the recommendation of Pres
ident Mckinley. So far from betray
ing any nervousness about the men
| ton of gold or any desire to placate
free silver men,it puts the gold stand
ard beyond all question as the single
standard of value, and provides am
pie means for maintaining that stand
ard under all conditions.
If this bill becomes law, the gold
dollar will be the one standard and
unit of value. All United States
bonds, greenbacks and Treasury notes
are made payable in gold coin, and
all public and private obligations are
to be conformable to that standard.
Notes which are redeemed in gold are
to be paid out only for gold, and~a
gold reserve is created, amounting to
one fourth of the outstanding green
backs and Treasury notes to be kept
for the retention of such notes. For
the further guarantee of the mainte-
nance of the gold standard, the Sec
rotary of the Treasury is empowered
by the bill, whenever it is necessary,
to issue bonds payable in gold. Arm
ed with this auth GRITTY, there will new
er be any question of the ability of
the Secretary of the Treasury to meet
all demands which may be made for
gold in exchange for other forms of
money. Discretionary authority is
also given the Secretary to pay gold
for standard silver dollars, if neces-
sary to maintain parity of all forms
of money.
The banking provisions of the bill
are simple. Banks are to be allowed
to issues notes to the full par value Of
the bonds which they deposit for Sc
curity. A tax is imposed on capital,
profits and surplus instead of on cir
culation, aud the capitalization re-
quired of banks is so graded that
banks with not less than $4,000 CAPT
tai may be organized in places of from
two to six thousand inhabitants, and
banks with not less than $25, 900 may
be organized in places with popula-
ton of not more than two thousand
