A Little and a Big Hero

MY TWO cousins and l had come
tVI from school to my uncle's estate,
pale and Overworked. Now, brown as
berries, we felt strong and mischiev-
Gus.
The day was hot and suffocating.
The air seemed to be laden with some
thing more than the scent of new
mown hay and pine-a flavor so COM
mon on July day in northern Russia.
The grown people said: 1.-THE at
mosphere is impregnated with cleo
tricity," and although we boys of 12
and 13 years did not know what that
really meant, we were sure that, soon
er or later, a storm would come, for
the old shepherd had said so, and he
always told the truth.
In the afternoon a black cloud rose
over the horizon in the northeast. An
hour later dark bank covered half
the sky and we heard the far away
rumbling of thunder.
Rain began to fall in large drops
and we, standing on the grass-covered
porch amused ourselves in watching
the chickens run, the ducks dive
in the pond, the workmen hurry home
and the cattle rush for the stables.
An unexpected clap of thunder made

An Important Fact,

There is great confusion in the minds
of many people between a bimetallic
standard of value and a bimetallic cir
culating medium. Many people think
that you cannot have bimetallic stand
ard of value unless in each country gold
and silver circulate side by side. 1t is
quite immaterial and unimportant. as
far as measuring values is concerned.
whether gold and silver circulate in
each nation. We can have bimetallic
standard of value without silver cir
cuIating in a gold standard country or
gold circulating in a silver standard
country. If one-half of the nations of
the world in commercial importance
were to adopt the single gold standard
and not permit silver coin to circulate in
those countries, and if the other one
half of the nations in commercial i'm
portance were to adopt a single silver
standard and not permit gold coin to
circulate in those countries, the world
nevertheless would be upon a bimetal-
lie standard of value, because there
would be an equal demand created upon
an equal quantity of metals, which
would produce an equal price. We can
readily see that, though silver did not
circulate in the gold countries, it would
be doing service in another part of the
world as primary money, and conse-
ouently would be relieving the strair
upon gold just as much as if it circu-
lated side by side with the gold in that
gold standard co%Itry.-nlinois Stato

RAILROAD COMBINATION.
How the Republicans Control the
Vast Political Power in
Them.

Nearly every week some new combi-
nation is reported. 1t does not seem
an exaggeration to say that we may
soon see all the railroads of the coun-
try controlled by five men, and these
agreed that there shall be no competi-
ton between them. Practically uni
versal railroad trust or monopoly.
The railroad freight bills of the coun-
try will this year exceed $1,000, 900, 600,
over $13 for every man, woman and
child, or an average of sos for each
family. The passenger travel will
amount to one-third as much.
There are over 100000 men en-
ployed by the railroad companies, or
about one-fourteenth of the total vot-
ing population, all more or less de-
pendent upon the officers of these rail-
roads for their daily bread. These of
fcers are controlled by the five fnan-
ciers who form the governing power
of the railroad trust or combination.
What a vast political power they can
WELD, and they did use it in the last
national election, and will again use
it in the next one. All this great po-
litical power was used for the repub-
licans, and in addition vast sum sub.
scribed to the Hanna-McKinley cam
paign fund.
Why were these railroad all in favor
of the republicans? And why are the
republican leaders favorable to the
railroads? And why do they set theil
faces like a stone wall against enforc
ing the antitrust laws and giving the
| interstate commerce commission the
power they have asked for? The an
swer to these questions is self-evi
dent.

The Monetary Problem.


| keep its readers. We care nothing for
any metal per sc. Show us substance
which will meet all the requirements
as does that white metal which, since
the dawn of historic record, has been
the partner of the yellow; and we will
just as readily take that. There is no
such substance: Gold is insufficient.
Consequently, silver is our hope. #
gold had been the metal operated
against in 1873 those humanity-regard-
ing men who are now united under the
banner of silver would just as vocffer-
ously insist on gold receiving its right
full place under the law. They would be
known as gold men. No pettifogging,
no obscuring of the issue, will long pre-
vent the American people from seeing
that the thing wanted is a volume of
money-white, yellow, black, or red
which shall restore to a great civiliza-
tion the prosperity it deserves, and

pathway leading into the light it is
groping for to-day.-George A. White.

THE aETURN TO THE OLD TOWN.

o the little cid town that left ohe day,
Because it was quiet, stlIl
has the name that It had when 1 went
away.
And stands on the same old hills
But the ones that were dear IN the little
old town,
With its one wide street running up and
down.
Have ceased to sit on the porches where
The roses were trained to climb;
They have ceased to sew and to whittle
there,
AS they did in the dear old time.
The little old church with its wooden sheds
Still stands as It stood of yore;
But the ones who knelt and who bowed
their heads
Are worshiping there no more.
And the little old school where carved my
name
On the homemade desk stands just the
same
But the boys who are batting the bali to-
day
And the little maids, fair and free,
Are not the children who used to play
On the common there with me!
The little old house, so dear, so dear,
Stands just where 1t used to stand:
But not for many and many a year
Has the latch obeyed her hand
The hand In which my hand was laid
When my first few faltering steps were
made
And in the little old parlor there,
O'erlooking the little. lawn,
Another sits in her easy chair,
And hears the clock tick on
o the little old town that left one day,
Because it was quiet and still
Has the name that it had when 1 went
away,
And stands on the same old hill;
But the friends that I've Travelled back
home to see
Are gone, or else are but strangers to me,
And over the doors of the little old stores
Are names that / never knew,
And the dream that was dear of the "old
home" here
Can never, alas, come truei

MR.. BRYAN IN NEBRASKA.
The Democratic Leader Is Ready and
to the Point with a Repubs
1ican Interrogater.

The following incidents occurred dur
ing Mr.. BrEan's tour of Nebraska, and
are good examples of his keen wit, quick
repartee and scathing invective:
Near the close of his speech at Falls
City, republican in the audience arose
and denied that President Mckinley de-
sires to retain the Philippines, where
upon, without a moments hesitation
or the least show of embarrassment,
MIR. Bryan quoted this sentence from
one of McKinley's speeches: 81 cannot
permit myself to doubt that these is
lands will be retained under the be-
nign sovereignty of the United States"
The republican next declared that
most Of the Filipinos were in revolt
against Aguinaldo.
Are you not fattering Aguinaldo
too much" asked Mr.. Bryan, when
you assert that with a handful of men
he can not only subjugate his own race,
but hold in check and frustrate great
American army?" (Cheers).
A third time the man broke in to de-
clare that the trade of the Philippines

dered:
Il dare you to measure the lives Of
American boys and the heartaches of
American mothers by the paltry dollars
and cents of commerce; 1 dare you to
do it,"
And the crowd went into a veritable
paroxysm of applause. Then the man
declared that Providence was leading
the United States to the Philippine is
lands. He had not long to await his an
swer:
"Ah, my friend" came the reply, 81

IF you, my friend, were half as anx-
ous to be on the Lords side as you ars
to bring Jehovah down from Heaven
to bolster up the republican party, you
wouldn't be here advocating an aban-
donment of the declaration of inde-
pendence. You are not preaching the
gospel of the Prince of Peace. You're
preaching the internal gospel of con-
quest and murder and death!"
The orators last words were
drowned in a tempest of cheers. The
imperialist disappeared. And so will

ured by the enlightened intelligence Of

The Pig Recovered.

Vegetarians will find comfort in a
story about village schoolmaster,
whose habit it was to replenish his
larder by purchasing pork from the
parents of his pupils on the occasion
of the killing of pig. One day a.
small boy marched up to the masters
desk and inquired ''if he would like
bit of pork, as they were going to kill
their pig" The schoolmaster replied in
the affirmative. When several days had
elapsed and nothing more had been
heard about the pork, he called the
boy up and inquired why he had not
brought it. ''Oh, please, SIR" the boy
replied, "the pig got better. San

Gen. Butler was at one time a mem
Der of a commission to examine young
applicants for admission to the bar,

a youth who failed miserably on every
branch of the law in which he was ex-

young man and asked, what would
you like to be examined in? You have

gested." The reply came, TRY me ON

Her Real Charm.

A Scotch farmer, who was bachelor
and little past his prime, finding his
comforts in life rather meager on ac-
count of his INDECENT circumstances,
decided that the best thing he could do
was to marry a certain middle-aged
neighbor of his who did not lack for
money. He went, wooed and won,
and his estate soon took on an air of
greater prosperity. One of the first
purchases he made with his wife's
money was horse. When he brought
1t home he called his wife out to see it.
After admiring the animal, she said:
well, Sandy, if it hadna been for
my siller it wadna hae been here"

been for yer siller we wadna hNe been

liberty is in peoples government. A

1t is in America that the prosecuted
sects of the centralized governments of

where in the world there is religious
tolerance to be found it is due entirely
to the example of the United States
in giving all shelter free from perse-
