CRIME OF ~VOLUBILITY.

While railroad traffic was impeded as a
result of the recent storms, there was quite
a party of sOciable men coming on the main
line of the Central and having a pleasant
time in the smoker. Among them was a
fine and prosperous looking nan from the
east, and a typical Hoosier, who found it
impossible to keep his curiosity in check.
Being in the same seat with the easterner,
he opened his investigation with:
Coin ter Detroit, l reckon?'
"Yes."
"Perty nice chunk of a town, I've heerd.
I live down in Infancy. My folks kim
there when it war a howiin' wilderness full
of Injuns. Powerful state now; bout the
best they is, 1 reckon. Might 1 ask where
you live when yer to hum, stranger"
Massachusetts"
"Travelin', 1 ~suppose?"
OBVIOUSLY"
"How?'
yes" said the easterner, whose temper
was not improved by the evident pleasure
of those within earshot. I'm travelling. l
have retired from business and am reason
ably well fixed. l have a wife and three
children; one of the satisfactorily married.
l am 50 years Old and have good health
and manage to enjoy myself in a rational
way"
"Goin' to be up in these parts long?'
continued the Hoosier, who hadn't been
phased.
"Well," sighed the prosecuted stranger,
I'm going to stop in Detroit for a few
days. Then l hope to run down into In
diana. If I like your state, I'll buy it.
Then the Hoosier remarked solemnly that
he'd be '~'doggone," went to the corner OF
the car most remote from the laughing
group and settled down for a nap.

The woman in the gray hat gave an
exclamation of surprise.
"Why no." she cried. Whom toy

anybody else knows, for that matter.
She works in a store or something of
that sort. I do think Charles mother is

plans for hearty cooperation, the demo-
cratic leaders were quietly but very Wig
o~rously disseminating the information
or rather instructions, to the Ideal lead
ers, that there was to be no Cooperation
in certain localities where theyssfelt they
were strong enough to get along without
it. These facts were known by all the
democratic managers, from the highest
to the lowest, and it has leaked out that
the plan was approved and Endorsed by
those in charge of the campaign.
In view Of all this, how will the Greeks
be received when they come bearing gifts
in 1900? Will the populists and silver re-
publicans, after having been smitten by
the hand that they so generously upheld
in '96, turn the other cheek for a swat
in 1900? We think not. They have
broken the faith, and while alluringg their
friends with honeyed ph~rases-hood-
winking them with protestations of 10y
atty, urned and secretly plotted fbr their
downfall and defeat. "
Such traitorous conduct can have but
n reward, and this, our Washington

the coming contest, for which the demo-
cratic party has already begun to pre-

a ratio of 80 to 1. If we remember cor
rectly the Standard denounced the sena-
tor. not for his excellent arguments in
favor of the joint use of silver and gold,
but for the ratio proposed. But that was
in 1896, and the times change and men
| change with them. The line of demarka-
ton between the Standard and the gold
republican party has narrowed down to
a point that can be easily bridged in 1900,
if tina paper keeps up its present pace.
In Waiving the matter of a ratio of 16
to I, the Standard not only pulls the
teeth of the silver democracy of this state,
but it is absolutely Obvious to the in
dustrial features of the silver question.
With an undetermined ratio. and the ra-
ito depending upon the worlds exchanges
which fluctuate enormously at times, the
price of silver bullion would adjust Itself
accordingly, and the present unsteady
market would grow rapidly worse. I'm
der such conditions the chance are silver
fifty cents an ounce, the prospect of ever
reaching s1.29 being then wholly out of
the question.
During the late campaign the Stand
ard yelled itself black in the face shout
ing the battle cry of silver. 1t posed as
the greatest of the great champions of
the greatest of great causes, and de-
manded that all who We're in sympathy
with the true interests Of silver get into
its band wagon or be prematurely buried
in the mud of a hard fought campaign.
But before the ballot boxes are thorough
ly cooled off, that paper comes out cold
blooded and valves the 16 to l issue in
order to get into touch with the gold wing
of that party which will demand that
concession in 1900.
What do the conscientious silver men
of Montana think of their late champion
of the free coinage of gold and
silver at a ratio of 16 to / by
the independent action of the Ameri-
lean rerublic?" It is clearly the inten-
ton Of the Standard to troll the silver
democrats of this state by easy stages
up to a point where they will accept any
kind of a financial plank which the east
ern wing of the party may see fit to de-

capital out of the question, and look
upon it evidently as "a way out" The
former knows that the democracy will
not be the recipients in 1900 of the loyal
support extended in 1886 by the %populists

make the best showing it ever did. Mr..
Bryan has intimated already that i'm

perhaps overshadow free silver. Cleve-

FEARFULLY BURNED.

In April, 1898, my little girl was fear
fully burned by her clothes catching
fire. Her whole face was terribly burn
ed. We had but little hope of her re
covery, as it yielded to medical treat
ment to the extent of being apparently
cured, but in a sh) rt time lie sores
would again break out and become red
and infamed, and perfectly raw. We
tried different treatments for three
months and then determined to try Mrs.

that time she had sores as large rs a

She was so restless she cold get 10

condition was indeed pitiaDle. Her
mouth was burned so it was perfectly
raw rs far down the throat as we could
see. After commencing inc remedy il
August she soon got SO she could cat

could sleep well at night and the sores
soon entirely healed. She had not taken
a bottle before they healed and she has
been well ever since, though badly

ASSURANCE CURRENCY SITUATION

That is the heading of an editorial in
yesterdays New York World. 1t urges
Congress to take action Ito relieve the
obvious inadequacy OF the currency ard
its adamantine infiexibiliry,.' and says:
1.-The inadequacy of our currency sys-
tenn is very remarkably and rather nu-
miliatingly illustrated by the fact that
New York bankers and business men are
congratulating themselves upon the
financial relief that Dewey week will
afford.
mot only will the EXCHANGES lose for
two days this week, thus susDead'pg the
demand for loans, but it IS estimated
that the expenditures OF Dewey week
visitors will amount TO S30,00O,000 or
more, most Of which will flow into the
banks, thus relieving the strain upon the
reserves.
Months ago the World pointed out
the fact that this autumn's demand for
currency would be greater than the
banks of New York could meet. The
fulfilment comes now iii so complete an
exhaustion of the surplus reserve that
two days suspension of the exchanges
and the anticipated expenditures of
Dewey week visitors are hailed as re-
lief by the bankers and business men
of the second, and perhaps the first,
financial capital of the world. And this
after some years of unparalleled gold
imports and unprecedented trade bal
ances in our favor"
The big war expenditures, the dis
covery of gold in Klondyke, and the big
foreign trade are the three causes that
have temporarily relieved the financial
stress which prevailed up to the declara-
ton of war. Much of the prosperity
sof the past year has been due to war
expenditures. And yet with these three
factors, all unprecedented, the New York
! papers complain OF the Obvious made
quacy of currency and its adamantine
infexibility." The money question will
not be settled unless there is more
money and what we do have is not tied
up by ''adamantine inflexibility."
