the TWO parIles tnat amllatc togetn-
er then to keep in mind the ques-
tons to be considered. Mr.. Bryan
and Mckinley are discussing the
money question and say the qaes-
ton will be the same as in 80.
There are many other questions Of
national importance to be consid-
cred. The war will bring some
important questions before the pub
lie which will divide all parties.
There are many in the Republican
party who are opposed to the press
emit administrations attitude toward
expansion while some in the other
parties favor the plans. The differ.
ence Of opinion along that line is too
general among all partie, for any
one party to make it the leading
issue. Bryan's position will very
likely be found the correct one, as
he favors the free and unlimited
coinage at the present standard and
ratio while the Republicans favor
free coinage, but limit the coinage
TO the business demands for such
coins and seem to be willing to re-
move all limitation if other nations
will join US which they will not
likely do. The Democrats differ in
their own party on the question of
ratio. Many Of them who oppose
unlimited coinage at the present
ratio would consider the demand
Of the other ring if they would leave
amount coined to future demands or
the future price Of silver bullion.
A mutual concession along that line
would harmonic all factions of the
beligerant parties, both Populists
and Democrats, and would satisfy
the Republicans who have wandered
away from the old shaggy flock that
has SO long driven and pulled the
relenting stragglers who have not
had strength and individuality
enough to leave what they thought
and believed to be the strongest and
biggest flock. 1t is not improbable
that all factions could be united and
work harmoniously together. Prac-
tically there is but little difference
between the parties on the question
of paper money. The Democratic
platform (the Bryan PLATFORM Of go
declared against national banks, but
did not withdraw its demand for the
repeal of the ten per cent tax on the
circulation of the state banks. The
Republicans upheld the perpetual
ton of the national banking system.
Both parties favored the redemption
of government legal tender notes in
coin. On this point there is prac,
tically no vital difference-no differ
ence involving fundamental princi-
pie. If metal is the desired money
and one metal furnishes the desired
amount of bullion, why have more1
Quantity between the question.
If there be enough of either why
use the others2. There is no com.
plant just now over any shortage of
either metal. If that condition
would continue indefinitely the
money question would be settled.
But that time has never lasted very
long at one time. These factors be.

Union gives this instance: The writ
er's grandfather had an old colored
workman, who had been a slave. and
was used to the severest kind of labor,
NO need OF slavedriver for him, how
ever, as his tasks were always con-
sclentlously performed. Corporal, as
the old slave was called, was of a re-
llglous turn, and believed with an I'M
alterable firmness in the truths
brought to him. In his own simple
way ne was good deal of a philoso-
pner' and did not little good by the
everyday showing of his quiet faith
FINALLY the time came for Corporal to

him: Corporal, it is only right to tell
you that you must die" "Bless YOU,

REMARKABLE AUCTION BIDS.
Relic. which Have BrouEht Big sum.
at Sales

KEN AHkABLE AUCTION BIDS.
Relios which Have Brousht Big sums
at Sales
The lola sale in France, at which a
little table was sold for more than $50
times its value, recalls many instances
of remarkable bids at auction sales,
says Tit-Bits. Zola's table was worth
"a les, but the first bid for it was
fl,28O, and the auction became prob
ably unique in the annals of sales by
being closed after single bid. It is
not the first time that table has been
SOLO Tor such remarkable sum,
though it is probably the first time
that such an article has fetched such
big price. Cicero's table was put up
to auction after his death, but the
highest bid was ESQ. Another historic
article for which an enormous price
was paid was Cato's purple robe, which
Nero bought for f6,8OO. The habit
worn by Charles XII. at Pultowa was
sold for f22,O00, and a cup used by Ma
poleon went for 81 guineas. The hat
which Napoleon wore at Eylau was
keenly bid for at auction by thirty-two
persons and was knocked down at ELS.
Mr.. Quaritch, the famous bookseller,
recently advertised two of his rarest
volumes for sale for f10,250, sum
which may seem ridiculous to most
readers. Mr., Quaritch, however, once
bid 1890 for Latin Psalter, and
$4,000 for a MaZarin Bible at an auc-
ton sale. Five hundred and forty
guineas for a snuff-box suggests that
the bidder was verging on madness,
but snuffbox from the emperor of
Brazils collection was once knocked
down at this price. Another, supposed
to have belonged to Marie Antoinette,
sold for 800 guineas, bids of SO and 100
guineas being quite common at snuff
box sales. A vase in the British mu-
scum was knocked down at 1000 gum
cas-, and two violins-a Stradivarius
and Ruggari-were sold at sale for
t760 and f1,2S0, respectively. A violin
bow by Tourte was sold for f44, and
the autograph of Sir Isaac Newton
once drew bid Of f64. An admirer
OF George w. a few years ago bid f18
for a walking stick which belonged to
the King. A silver penny of William
the Conqueror's reign was sold nine
years ago for f32, and a half-crown of
the reign of Queen Elizabeth went for
ia. Lord Fitzhardinge once bid $500
eu1neas Tor a calf at Lord Dunmore's
sale. The previous highest price for a
bull was 1000 guineas, bid at sale at
ketton. Lord Fitzhardinge's bid was
the highest ever made in England.

Philadelphia Record: A Russian
physician has already begun to expert
ment with liquid air. He placed a dog
in room with the temperature low
cred to 100 degrees below zero, After
ten hours the dog was taken out alive
and with an enormous appetite. The
physician tried the test on himself.
After ten hours confinement in. an at
mosphere of still, dry cold his system
was intensely stimulated. So, much
combustion had been required to keep
warm that an intense appetite was
created. The process was continued
on the man and the dog, and both
grew speedily fat. and vigorous. 1t
