The Calamity Argument
From the Baltimore sun.

In his speech before the Republican Ma
tinnal Convention at Philadelphia the other
day Senator Lodge said : ''Do you think
it business confidence would flourish with
the Democratic party? Do you not know
that if Bryan were elected the day after
the news was flashed over the country
wages would go down, prices would decline,
and that the great argosy of American
business now forging ahead over calm
waters with fair breezes and with swelling
canvas, would begin to take in sail and
seek the shelter and anchorage of the
nearest harbor?'
or course Senator Lodge does not know
this and he is too well Informed a man even
to believe it. Much allowance is to be
made for campaign buncombe the ex-
uberance of convention verbosity. We
are perfectly well accustomed to the cry Of
the stump speaker as the campaigns come
around that if the other party carries the
election the old ship of state will be wrecked
upon the rocks of adversely The ''other
party always does win and yet the old
ship of states sails on and the people con
tinue TO do business at the old stand
During the campaigns of 1884 and 1892
the Republican Jeremiahs were prophecy
ing that if the Democrats were successful
the elements would melt with fervent heat
and the heavens would roll up like a scroll.
just before the election factories were
closed and operatives were discharged with
the notice that in case of Democratic sue
cess their service would not again be needed
The Democrats did succeed and one after
another of the factories resumed and con
timed to do business.
In 1896 the Democratic party abandon
ed their traditions and advocated policy
which The Sun, along with the conserva-
tive sentiment of the country, believed
would be most hurtful to our business m
terests and contrary to our national honor.
The people repudiated that policy and
elected Mr. Mckinley The Republicans
in 4 reluctant and tardy fashion fulfilled
their pledge and established the gold stand
ard and 50 fortified it with legislation that
in the sober judgment of prudent men it
cannot be disturbed even by the election
of Bryan
In the meantime, other issues have
arisen which demand the thoughtful con
sideration Of every patriotic citizen. Upon
these issues Mr. Mckinley and his party
have been recreant to the best interests of
the country, have limited and set aside the
Constitution and have entered upon
policy Of imperialism which may end more
diSastrously for the country than even a
policy of free silver, were there any real
danger of the adoption of free silver
nolicy now.

Faith and Health.


By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Talk faith The world is better off
without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid doubt.
If you have faith in God, or man, or self,
Say SO; if not, push back upon the shelf
OF silence all your thoughts till faith shall
come,
No one will grieve because your lips are
dumb
Talk health. The dreary, never changing
tale
OF mortal maladies is worn and stale
You cannot charm, or interest, or please
BY harping on their minor chord, disease
Say you are well, or all is well with you,
And God shall hear your words and make
them true

A COAT WHICH CREW.
Story of B Clever Prisoners Plan fos
 Escape.


 Green Casey, a convict at San Quens tin, has won the admiration of all his fellow eenviets at the prison for the novel contriyance he has invented in order to make his escape from the prls' on walls some time ago, and through Sheriff Langden of Santa Clara county. the story has leaked out, says the SaI Francisco Call. Casey was kind of trusty around the prison grounds, and while working in one of the grounds in the vicinity of the prison he took it into his head Shat he would like to es- cape, and was beginning to tax his mind as to the most advantageous way to suit his purpose. AS he was stroll Ing around on the green grass which grows in abundance around the prison, an idea struck him that if he could initiate the grass by some means he could elude the watchful sentries and make good his escape. Through the aid of his convict friends he procured some pieces of burlap, and with the aid of some rope made them into long coat that would cover him completely when lying on the grass. He then se~ cured some wheat from the prison stable and sowed it down earelessly at one end of the prison grounds, and Watered it daily. In a few weeks the grass grew up through the sack coat, and before a great while the piece of burlap was eonformed into a grassy lawn. He was now ready to carry out his plans, and patiently waited an op- portunity. At last he succeeded in get ting his new eentrivance across to the northwest of the prison, and in a few minutes was under his grassy coat. Slowly he crept along with the clever ness of worm, and from all appear ances success would crown his efforts. But his progress was too rapid, and very soon he heard footsteps coming in his direction. The moving grass plat, which was slowly making it's way up the hillside soon came to sudden standstill as the eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investigate the phenomenon. A kick in the ribs apprised Casey that his plan had been discovered. The guard took Casey, and 8 red shirt now covers his breast

Thn sirtiar,s Charm.

The story goes that the Sidar pos- Sesses a charm which comes from In- dia, and which brings him luck wher- ever he tours. That he is one of the luekiest men in Europe goes without saying. Lord Kitchener received a telegram of congratulation from the queen on the fact that Mahdism has now been given it's final blow. The Bidar replied, Your most gracious majesty, the man who does not accomplish his aim is failure. I have lived to overthrow Mahdism, and the nineteen years have struggled foa It's abolition have now been crowned with success. My mission is accom- nlished."
