principle holds good in killing a

II every one you meet will complain
of dull times Il will be but brief

town where every merchant you
come In contact with says: "Busi-

were going to have pretty hard
times this summer, ETC." Then go
to the next town, where every man
You meet says: I'VE have nothing
to complain of. we are doing fair

has been, but we look for some i'm
provement this summer" and you
will readily see and feel the. differ.

who will give the matter thought
will readily see why this 10 true.
The man who thinks of investing
10 discouraged by such talk; money
crawls back into the further corner
of the vaults and is hard 10 get out;
the man who thinks of building
concludes to wait awhile to see
how this talk of dull times pans
out; the man who thinks of pros
pecting that other forty, concludes
to wait until he learns what thie
talk of "a dull summer" meane, and

BRYAN'S LITTLE BOY

A Colloquy that Ended in Talk About

Mr.. Bryan, the handsome Democratic
candidate, was on the Lincoln train to-

sat by the candidate and was asking
childish questions.
Papa" he said. what did the Hun
garian miners out in Colorado mean
when they shook flags marked 16 to

''Why, my son" said Bryan, as he
beamed on his boy with loving sRle,
why, the miners meant that they want
ed our money to be IL to /. That is,
they wanted it so that 16 ounces Of sill
yer would be one ounce of gold"
"But, papa, 16 ounces OF our coined
silver will buy one ounce of gold now,
won't it?" asked George, opening his
eyes wide.
Yes, my son. Congress did pass a
law making that ratio. Sixteen ounces
Of our coined silver will buy one ounce
Of coined gold now.'

SURPRISES AT ST. LOUIS.
The McGifTert Case and the Presby-

st. Louis May 22.-Anticipating that
the Judicial Committee would make its
report on the MGiffert case at the after
noon session of the general assembly, the
commiss ioners and denominational friends
crowded the big auditorium of the church
to It's utmost capacity.
Additional to this interesting feature,
the Committee on Bills and Overtures
sprung surprise on the assembly by sub
hitting its report on the revision of the
creed of the Presbyterian Church. For
this the assembly was not prepared and
the matter caused intense suppressed ex-
element.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures
recommended that the whole matter be
referred TO a committee of fifteen, COM
posed of eight ministers and seven elders,
10 be appointed from the church at large
by the moderator, to consider a restate-
ment of doctrine and report to tue next
assembly. The time was extended for the
discussion of the report of the commit
tee. No definite action, however, was
taken and the matter was deferred until
tomorrow.

SP00NER'S ABLE ARGUMENT.
MADE NOTABLE EFFORT ON THE
PHILIPPINE BILL.

Argued That the Administrations
Policy Was the Only Wise One,
and That the Government of the
Islands should Devolve Upon the
President Until Congress Aets-ie-
port Made as to Publication of
Messages of Presidents.
Washington. May I'm the Senate to-
day Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin addressed
himself to his bill providing that upon
the suppression of the insurrection in the
Philippines the government of the islands
would devoive upon the President until
such time as Congress might direct other
wise.
Notwithstanding the fact that he was
almost too i'll to stand, Mr.. Spooner's eff
fort was one of the notable ones of the
present session. He defended with charac-
teristic vigor and eloquence the policy of
the administration in the Philippines,
maintaining that no other policy, In the
circumstances, was possible and that none
other could have been adopted without
dishonor to the country.
Without concluding his remarks, Mr..
Spooner yielded the floor until tomorrow.
Late in the afternoon Senator Carter of
Montana presented the credentials of Sen
ator Clark of that state, appointed by
Lieut.. Gov Spriggs to succeed himself.
They were allowed to lie upon the table.
Rev. oliver johnson of Leslie, S. c.,
pronounced the invocation of the opening
of to-day's session.
Mr.. Plat of New York, chairman of the
Committee on Printing, presented report
on it's investigation of the private publ
cation of Messages and Papers of the
Presidents" and it was read in full.
Mr.. Gallnger inquired of Mr.. Platt if his
committee had taken any action upon a
resolution he had introduced providing for
the publication of 10000 sets of the work,
for which he said there was a great de-
mand.
Mr.. Plat replied that no action had been
taken, as the adoption of the resolution
would involve an expenditure on the part
of the government of more than 100000.
Mr.. Gallinger directed attention to the
fact that the cost of the work to the gov
ernmen was about 81 a set, while the pri-
Vate concern which was printing it sold 1t
to the public at $34 a set. He thought the
committee might well report back reso-
luton to publish 10000 or $1,000 sets. If the
government was not able to print the work
for the scholars and libraries of the coun-
try he thought an arrangement ought 20
be made to print the work and sell 1T at
cost.
The export of the committee was order
ed to be printed
