81 aDOrtant, If True.

The editorial which appeared in the
Baltimore Meas under the above
heading, as to the attitude of Colonel
Smith on the money question in the
Presidential campaign of '96 affords
refreshing reading. Those who had
the opportunity to observe the polit-
ical course of Mr.. Smith in that cam
paign have no doubt whatever that
he supported Mr.. Bryan and the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of is to / +,
and did all he could to bring about
their success. The Ne1OS need not
indulge in any spe ton about the
matter, and say Il e, he general i'm
preston in Maryland is that Colonel
Smith himself voted for Bryan"
Whatever may be the general i'm.
preston in other localities there can
be no doubt but that Colonel Smith
worked early and late for the free
coinage of silver in Worcester county

ORGANIZATION of trusts goes merrl-
" on in free-trade England, quite to
the confusion of those who asserted
a few months ago that the protective
system was the only soil in which
trusts could flourish. The British
newspapers bristle with announce
ments of the formation of new trusts
and great corporations of this charac-
ter, while reports from other Euro
pean countries, show that the trust is
not in any sense peculiar to the United
States, but that its development
comes with business activity and pro
duction on a great scale wherever
these conditions exist.

THOSE Silver Republicans who re-
Gently met at Chicago and resolved to
renew the fight in favor of the white
metal in 1900 had evidently not heard
from President Warner, of the Bime-
tallic League who, in his recent visit
to Washington, admitted that the
wonderful developments of gold pro-
duction of late have caused a depre-
citation of that metal, thus making it
apparent that the arguments in favor
of silver can no longer be maintained.

The prospect for currency legisla-
ton at the coming session of Congress
is very encouraging. a push will be
made to get reform measure through
the House without the usual refer
ence to committee, with view to
clear the decks before the pressure of
other important business shall inter
fere with its consideration. The
House bill will contain a clear declar
alton in favor of the gold standard.
1t will set apart gold for the redemp-
ton of greenbacks and provide that
notes once redeemed shall not again
be paid out except in exchange for
gold. National banks will be author
lied to issue notes to the par value of
bonds deposited for their security.
Provision will be made for the estab-
lishment of banks in small towns
with a minimum of capital fixed at
1925, 900. The tax on bank circulation
will be reduced from 1 per cent to
one half of 1 per cent. 1t is expec-
ted that bill containing those pro
visions which have heretofore been
substantially recommended by the
President will command the full Re
publican vote. In the Senate there
will be longer deliberation. But the
opinion is widely entertained by the
advocates of sound money that
friendly legislation may be antici
pated with reasonable certainty.

"THE time is passed for the people
of the United States to discuss the
question of what is to be done with
the Philippines. We drove out the
Spaniards who had been the govern
ing power nearly four hundred years.
For us to withdraw would leave a con
dition of anarchy, and foreigners who
own property in the country would
have certainly strong moral claim
against the United States for their
losses. Americans will find this an
excellent field for their energies and
the wealth-producing powers of these
islands under American influence will
be great. Letter from General Joe
Wheeler in the Philippines.

SPEAKING of the financial bill pre-
pared by the Republican crucus COM
mittee in Congress, Hon. John Van
Lear Findley said: "Such law will
place the Republicans squarely in the
position which it has maintained so
successfully. In 1896, Mr.. Bryan and
his followers could argue that gold
was not the sole standard; that it was
made the money of final redemption
by stealth. | have no doubt that
they will next year furiously attack
the Republicans upon the money
issue, and the fact that our party will
have enacted legislation making gold
the standard will contribute to
strengthen the position we have main
tanned under the Mckinley campaign
and administration The law is de
manded as ~ ter of public policy
as well at ,,lfer of party policy.

A printer sat in his office chair, his
boots were patched and his coat
threadbare, and his face looked weary
and worn with care. While sadly
thinking of business debt, old Nor
'pheus slowly around him crept, and
before he knew it he soundly slept,
and sleeping he dreamed that he was
dead, from trouble and toll his spirit
Had fled, and not even u cOwbell tOlled
for the peaceful rest of the cowhide
soul. As wandered he among shades
that smoke and scorch in the lower
shades, he shortly observed an iron
door that swung on hinges ajar, but
the entrance was closed with a red
hot bar, and Satan himself was peep
ing out, waiting for travellers there
about, and thus to the passing printer
spoke:
'Come in, my dear, it will cost you
nothing and never fear. This is the
place where | cook the ones who
never pay their subscription sums,
for though in life they may escape,
when dead it is too late; | will show
you the place where melt them thin
with red hot chains and scraps of tin,
1and also where | comb their heads
with broken glass and melted lead,
and if of refreshments they only
think, there's boiling water for them
to drink; a red hot grindstone to
grind their nose, and red hot rings to
wear on their toes; and if they men
ton they don't like fire, I'll sew up
their mouths with red hot wire; and,
then, dear sir, you will see them
squirm, while | roll them over and
cool and turn
With these last words the printer
awoke, and thought it all Il practical
joke, but still ofttimes so real did it
seem, that he cannot believe it was
all dream; and often he thinks with
chuckle and grin of the fate Of
those who save their tin and never
pay the printer.

WORK Is Fritz Volbach. a conductor in Mayence
and the work was produced at the last meeting Of
the Society Of German Muslcians-the so-called
Ionkunsterverein. The composer was extremely
fortunate In the choice Of a text and happy In its
treatment. The text consists OF four ballads Tor
more properly, one ballad In four parts. which tell
the tale. the old old tale of the love OF princess
for page. The king worms a confession out OF
the lovely lad while they riding alone. Stays
him and his body into the sea. There his
glistening bones attract the curious interest OF the
mikes, who bring them TO their queen, who com
mands the norman to make a harp out OF them
and gives strands OF her golden hair for
the strings. In the midst of the festivities attend
ing the wedding Of the princess and the scion OF
another royal house the sound OF the merman's
harp is heard. 1t silences the music OF the
iddlers playing for the dance. the bridegroom
rushes away in dismay. and hen the dawn steals
through the windows and the last chords from the
mermans harp die away the bride lies dead in the
banquet hall The opportunities in such MARIA

sounds Of the chase. water music and the merry
making Of the mixes love melodies. dramatic da-
logue. music of revelry and the tones of the harp

have been woven into the recital which proceeds n

is fluent melodous and highly picturesque. and the

sum necessary TO purchase the house, and gave II
without any string attached 10 the gift supposing
that after he got the deed he could do with the

very sorry for his loss, but l think no one would
regret what he gave. How much better II was for
