SILVER ABSURDITIES.
Little Glimpse Of Past Experience and What 1t Should
Teach the Nation.

n 1896 there was an appeal to this
country in behalf Of the free coinage Of
sGlvsr on . ratio Of 16 to 1. At that
time there was widespread commercial
and Industrial stasnation. The un-
settled state Of the currency problem
had undermined confidence. Agricul-
2urs, trade and labor twere all suffering.
This Democratic party appealed to the
people. promising prosperity II they

while he IL doing 1t. Opposition to his

set up, gives comfort to the entmy and
tears down the nag Of the republic.
Our common duty now Is to stand by
the president, who Is executing the law
and maintaining the sovereignty of the
United States in the exact form and
force that resulted from war de-
clared by the unanimous voice of con-
gress. How that sovereignty is to be
used, and in what form it will finally
assume in the Philippines. Is q matter
to be settled by congress.
The whole Philippine situation 10 as
clear as shaft of light, and there is no
place for patriotism to raise a doubt or
fling an insinuation. President McKin-
ley Is doing his full duty, like an old
soldier and a faithful American citizen.
Stand by him. The result Of the elec>
tion in Ohio will encourage either Presi-
dent Mckinley or Aguinaldo. Which
shall It be?

ing . false standard ana . varying
measure Of exchange upon the people
was delaying prosperity ana nlling the
land with idleness and want.
The Republican party won upon that
issue, and scarcely had Mr.. Mckinley
been inaugurated president when signs
OF returning confidence appeared, ana
these multiplied until this nation has
become more prosperous than At any
time in its history.
Thus the currency problem was re-
moved from the field Of mere polenac
controversy ana settled by actual re-
suits in the experience Of al the people.
In the face Of these splendid results,
read and known Of all men, the Demo-
cratic party have the hardihood, II not
the impertinence. to drag forth the old
tattered issue again. The people have
decided against them once: nhey have
tenfold more reason to do 1t again. The
unexampled prosperity that now blesses
this country under the gold standard
ought to be an argument, above all
partisan affiliation, to continue It in the
future. To turn our backs upon It would
be absurd and ruinous

4 GREAT EAlR.

Never in the history of the Fair
association have there been such
crowds as were present ON Thursday.
In fact all the days of the fair We're
Red Letter days, and the people came
in crowds from all directions. The
line OF buses, as large as usual, was
unable to accommodates the crowd ON
Thursday. We feel assured that there
was no disappointment on the part of
the people, as the managers of the fair
carried out to the letter the program
as advertised. There was the usual
exhibits more in variety than ever
of all kinds and descriptions. Espe"i-
ally worthy of note were the hand
some carriages, buggies, etc, that
were on exhibition. The improve
ments, and the style aud finish of such
vehicles show that capital has not lost
faith in the horse and mans love for
that noble animal, and that auto
mobiles will not in the near future
command the situation.
The great attractions Of the fair
we're the races, and the exhibitions Of
Dr.. Carver and his trained horses and
elks. The way these horses performed
called forth the greatest admiration.
The advertised pictures of these eX-
hibitions were most beautifully made
real. and the performances of the
diving horses and el5s, and the lone
PAGERS, proved most conclusiyely that
their pictures had been taken from
life, and were not fancy sketches. The
shots of DR.. Carver that have been
heard around the world were simply
marvellous. How ii was done is more
than the best shots can explain. The
accuracy of the eye and arm tell their
own story in the simple fact that DR..
Carver can shoot in a way to astonish
the multitude. The boy and the
bicycle plunge, the baseball contests,
the band concerts, all made up a great
program OF entertainment OF course
there were refreshment stands and
many sideshows.
The School department. under Mr..
Jolley. and the recitations Of Misses
, Jackson, Hutchison. and Knight. We're
crcditable features.
1t is a notable fact that all these
crowds We're handled and the program
carried out, SO far az We know, With
out a hitch accident or disturbance Of
any kind. No drunkenness, no gam
bling. no fighting appeared on the
scene. Il was splendid picture Of q
happy, prosperous people coming to-
gether for mutual and benevolent en-
( joyment and profit.
\ The weather was fine, but hot: and
the dust would have been intolerable
but for the water mains which have
\ been carried to the grounds. Every
night the fire brigade very kindly, TO
the hes: Of their ability. sprinkled the
road 10 the grounds: but the crowds
aud vehicles, and the heat, were, be-
fore the day was over, TOO much for
their endeayors.

Next American War.

Chicago, July ga Tribune special
from New York says: The Herald this
morning has a special cablegram from
Trieste, in which Admiral Dewey is
quoted as saying: Our next war will
be with Germany" The prediction of
the admiral was brought about, accord
ing to the Herald's correspondent, by a
discussion of a threatened clash with
the German fleet at Manila. Admiral
Dewey is thus quoted
prince Henry of Prussia is man of
the type of his brother, the German en-
peror. Admiral Won Diedrichs was re-
lieved from his Manila post in accord
ance with an arrangement of long
standing, and because his time was up
mot as a concession made in friendli-
ness to the American government. Ger
many's policy is to prevent other pow
ers from obtaining what she cannot
acquire herself"
The admiral continued: I'VE need a
large and thoroughly equipped navy
that can cope with any other power.
England lis our natural ally, and differ
ences such as those about the FeneZue-
Ian border and the fisheries do not in
terfere with the friendly understanding
existing between the two nations. Our
next war will be with Germany"

Frozen Fish.

General Lysons of the British army
in telling his experience of winter fish
ing in Canada, mentions some of The
effects of severe cold. Among these
are the cracking and splitting of hard
wood trees, with loud reports. He de-
scribes the sound as like that of rifle
shots in battle. He says that the nights
in the bush were like the battle Of
Waterloo. But the most wonderful

of the water.
