establish a ratio between the Indian
rupee and the gold of Great Britain.
There are at least two other points
involved in this Indian mint question
that our neighbor overlooks, and which
expose the faliacy of its present posi-
ton perfectly. In the first place, it
treats the closing OF the minis Of India
to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver as something that has just taken
place. 1t happened in 1893, since which
time the Tribune has howled its loudest
for the rehabilitation Of silver in this
country. undismayed at the dangers
which have driven it into the gold
camp this year. The report of the par
liamentary committee on Indian finance
was practically a decision to allow the
work of six years ago to stand No
one who advocated the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver five years ago,
or three years ago, or one year ago, can
suddenly take fright today at what
took place six years ago and make peo-
pie believe it is a genuine scare.
In the second place, silver miners
who refused to be Influenced by the
dumping ground bugaboo three years
ago are fairly proof against it now. In
1S94-5-6 the silver miners of this sec
ton, knowing that the Indian minis
had been closed to the coinage of sill
yer, favored bimetallism in the United
States and the so-called oracle, the
self-styled pioneer in the cause, did
not warn them that with gold mono
metallism in India we couldn't risk BIZ
metallism in this country for fear all
the silver rupees in circulation in India
would be gathered up, sent here and
dumped upon the American market.
But there were those who made this
claim. They were the educated idi-
OTIS" and the accomplished black
guards" who ground out infamous
falsehoods for a subsidized press" and
they are still at it.

ALAS! POOR BESSIE.

Denver Post)
When Bessie first began to ride
Her modeSty seemed Sanctif1edl
She wore long skirtings so profuse
They covered up her dainty shoes.
She'd blush at every saucy breeze
And downward glanced as i'll at ease
Through fear some vulgar eye might sc
A vista of her hosiery.
She soon discovered that her skirts
Impeded her in scorching spurts,
And, not without nlisgivings, she
Curtailed them quite observedly,
But even then she seemed to feel
Too awful "stiffy' for the wheel,
And socn the dear no longer tried
The ankles of her boots to hide.
Her modesty began to fade,
Her bushes grew of fainter grade,
And southern suburbs of her skirts
Went northward, no! by easy spurts.
Then to her chummieS round about
She one day let the secret out
That when her coming birthday came
She was TO have a diamond frame.
Now you can see her on the track,
With parabolic curve of back.
Her skirts a pair of twin affairs
Curtailed in their protecting cares.
The hosiery once sacred to
Her own angelic eyes of blue
Is now exposed to all that ilk
Who study curves in swollen silk
once had hoped to call her mine,
gladly worshiped at her shrine,
And thought among all other girls
She was a modest pearl of pearls,
But now if 1 should wed the dear
I'd live in constant clinging fear
She'd want to take the third degree
And wear the family breeches, see?
