The SILVER Lining.

The times are| getting better, the
world is gettingIbetter, in fact every
thing better than it was. The
thought and literature of the world
was never so pure as it is today.
Mans inhuma anity to man never
caused so fewsto mourn as it does
just now. There is more liberty in
the state, more love in the home,
more hope i'll Che heart than ever be-
fore. The world has been hum ,niz-
Ell till the will of the nation seems
but quick response to the wants
and wish of man. There is relatively
far less drunkenness and debauchery
than in any former age. The inhu-
ence of woman was never so pro-
found and universal. Science and
art have given new delights to life
which is now approaching the full
bloom of sweetness and Iight.-J.

OF No Value.

The Minneapolis Journal suggests
the abolition Of the government crop
report as measure of increasing the
stability OF prices. Ih claims that
the crop report issued by the govern
ment this week is virtually a dec]ara-
tion that the '99 crop will exceed that
of '9S. The early government crop
reports are merely guess work of the
officials and are always exaggerated
and undoubtedly has an influence tc

"When the Americans came into

reason why theschange in sovereign

made superintendent of prisons and

the department done up He dis
covered that something was wrong
and reported tie matter to. General
Hughes. Together they laid their
plans, they won the confidence of
Mariana Monas by promising to re-
lease him if tue charge against him
proved to be false.
Monas readily fell in with their
plans and soon trap was laid. One
night after Don Carlos and Lieuten-
ant Jose had gone home, Captain
Moffet entered their office and took
possession ofSthe receipts and all the
books. At this time he made two
