GREENBACKS
or Government Money.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
IF that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will 60 to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR 1T WILL DE-
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE"

The "walk into my parlor" policy
Of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern
ment.
Notwithstanding the famine price
of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For a thorough understanding of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. 1t is paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas

JOHN ROBINsoN's SHOW.
A Gorgeous, sumptuous and I'm
pressive Augmention.

To speak of the merits of John Rob-
insons Great Worlds Exposition lie
merely Stoves labor lost" with the
people of this nation. There is not
an amusement lover on the continent
that is not fully cognizant of the fact
that it is now and has ever been the
best among the best. Everybody
does not know, however, that during
last winters vacation the show has
received an augmentation 30 vast
and SO important as to dwarf by COM
parison even its own great exhibit
tional excellence. We allnde TO the
gorgeous and sublime biblical specta-
Gle of Solomon, his Temple and the
Queen of Shebs," in which innumer-
able people are active participants,
and which is replete in grand scene
ographic effect, typical reproduction
of biblical personsges and events pro-
life in psgeantic and professional
features, lavish in enhancing ballots
and terpsichorean advertisements,
and rich in trappings and appoint
ments, requiring for IFS production,
the largest stage ever constructed, and
conspicuously portrsying sacred
events, scenes and incidents such as
the Judgment of Solomon, Arrival of
the Queen of Sheba, the City of Ds-
vid, the Palace and Temple, Court Of
King Solomon's Temple, the walls
and Towers of Jerusalem, Solomon's
700 Wives, the sacred ark of the Gov
enant, the great Ivory Throne, Pro-
cession Of War Chariots, Slaves Bear

Girls, martial and courtly Parades
and exciting Chariot Races. This
eminently moral, historical and mind
elevating spectacle will commend
itself to every lover of the sacred and
beautiful.
The Robinson Exposition, with its
sublime spectacular accession, will

When to Discard Old Ewes.

Old sheep are more profitable than
young ones as long as they are
healthy. The age at which sheep
becomes improbable depends upon
the way they are kept and its consti-
tuition. Some will 60 down in vitali-
ty sooner than others. Amy sheep
that fails to regain her flesh properly
after the lamb is sold should not be
kept, as there is danger of not living
through the next Landing.

Solomon, His Temple and the
Queen of Sheba.

To the skeptic or the agnostic as
well as to the devout believer in the
Sacred Scriptures, the era OF the great
King Solomon's reign is and can be
nsught else but the most impressive,
the most interesting and the grsndest
in all history. There are no parallels
in all the records of the past; nothing
approximating in grandeur, in wis
dom and sublimity, in any chronicle
OF modern ages. 1t was then felic-
itous conception Of the management
of John Robinson's Great Worlds
Exposition to produce the scenes, per-
sonages, incidents and events in the
reign of Solomon, the grand old pa
triarch, sage and king. That they
have done this thoroughly, acceptably
and successfully, the public and the
press unanimously attest. The great
biblical spectacle, in its powerful
sceneographic effects, in its accurate
and realistic presentations, and the
sumptuous lavishness attending its
presentations, is pronounced with
universal accord to be not only q
triumph of art, but revelation of
the history of the past that has never
had a precedent. Our citizens will
have the opportunity of seeing this
grand spectacle in connection with the
manifold other wonders of the John
Robinson show, on Saturday, June 8.

Dewey's Jeweled Sword.

A notable feature of Admiral
Dewey's arrival in Washington will
be the presentation to him by the
President of the superb jeweled
sword made by the authority of Con-
gress as testimonial of the Govern
ment. The sword was completed
some time ago, but owing to its deli
cacy and great value, it was deemed
not best to send it TO the Admiral.

KNOWLEDGE BY CONTRAST.
We Only Learn BY Discriminating Be
tween Unlike Things.

tween unlike Ih1nEe.
1t is an undeniable fact that we
cannot know anything whatever ex-
cept as contrasted with something
else, says John Fiske, in Atlantic.
The contrast may be bold and sharp,
or it may dwindle into slight dis
elimination, but it must be there. If
the figures on your canvas are indis-
tinguishable from the background,
there is surely no picture to be seen.
Some element of unlikeness, some
germ of antagonism, some chance for
discrimination, is essential to every
act of knowing. It is not a superficial
but fundamental truth that if there
were no color but red it would be ex-
actly the same thing as If there were
no color at all. Ina world of unquali-
fed redness, our state Of mind with re-
gard to color would be precisely like
our state Of mind in the present world
with regard to the pressure Of the at
mosphere if we were always to stay in
enc place. We are always bearing up
against the burden of this deep aerial
ocean, nearly IL pounds upon every
square inch Of our bodies; but until
we can get chance to discriminate,
as by climbing a mountain, we are
quite unconscious Of this heavy pres
sure. In the same way, If we knew
but zone color we should know no color.
If our ears were to be filed with one
monotonous roar of Niagara, by un-
broken alien sounds, the effect upon
consciousness would be absolute ST.
lence. If our palates had never come
in contact with any distasteful thing
save sugar, we should know no more
of sweetness than of bitterness. five
had never felt physical pain, we could
not recognize physical pleasure. For
want of the contrasted background its
pleasureableness would be nonexist-
emit. And in just the same way it fol-
lowsthat without knowing that which
is morally evil we could not possibly
recognize that which is morally good.
Of these antagonist correlatiyes the
one is unthinkable in the absence of
the other. In a sinless and painless
world human conduct might possess
more outward marks Of perfection
than any saint ever dreamed of, but
the moral element would be lacking;
the goodness would have no more sig
nifcance in our conscious life than
that load of atmosphere which we are

we prove the divinity Of our being.

FARM HOUSE BURNED.
The House Of B. coffey on His Farm
South Of Town.

The old farm house on the b. Coffey
place about two miles south of the city
was burned TO the ground Wednesday
evening, between and o'clock.
Mr.. Coffey and his two sons were
living in the house. Supper had just
been prepared when smoke was discov.
cred coming from the roof near the
chimney. One climbed upon the roof
with an axe while the others procured
water from the creek about 80 feet
away.
In order to reach the fire q hole was
chopped in the roof, but as soon as II
was opened II gave vent to the fire,
which must have had good start al.
ready, and flames instantly burst out in
great volume, drying the young man
from the roof.
An attempt was then made TO save
the contents of the house, but the
smoke was so thick that little was res
cued. Some sacks Of oats stored in one
room were thrown out, and some Of
these were saved in damaged condi-
tion, but clothing, furniture and other
contents Of the house were consumed.
After the house had burned down IL
was seen that there was a hole in the
chimney, which was still standing, Just
beneath where the roof had been, and
through this the fire must have reach ed
the woodwork
MIR. Coffey and his two sons were
turned out in the clothes they wore.
They were offered shelter by aneighbor,
but came to Salem.
They had moved up from Portland
one month ago. with the intention of
making a home on the farm of lO5
acres, which Mr.. Coffey has owned since
1871. They had repaired the house and
fixed everything comfortable, but this
misfortune upsets their plans. The
house was insured with Portland
agency, but Mr.. Coffey does not know
the exact amount.
The light Of the conhagration was
seen in this city. From THE Journal
Office IL seemed TO he near the blind
school and the attention OF the fire de-
partE,ent was called from the blind
school II looked to be in Yew Park; in
Iew Park II was seen TO be at Judge
Davidson's place; and from Davidsons 8
II looked TO be out in the country. A
telephone message from Liberty is said
to have brought the information that II
was straw stack near there.
The house was a one-story structure,
containing six rooms. IL was built in
the early days and was am old land
mark. The Pringle family occupied it
at one time, and the wall paper, which
was still in an excellent state of preser-
vation, was hung by John Hughes, some
45 years ago.
