Now for the first apecdote.
An incident occurring very early 10 the
life Of Jigadier Brindle Smoke is indie
ative Of his marked ability to retain
the utmost compos. re under trying cir
cumstances. When he was less than
year old, his mother was about TO start
from their country home to the city.
The weather was very cold, so before
seating herself in the carrisge, she
wrapped little Smoke very carefully in
heavy, warm coverings, sufficient to ex-
clude every harsh blast Of the stormy
wind from the pri lie OF her heart land
likewise to keep him from getting Group
and keeping her awake nights) The
child was handed to her after she had
taken her seat in the old family convey
ance, (which was used on other occa-
slons for hauling corn) and she took
him and held him carefully against her
bosom. The babe scarcely stirred dur
ing the long ride. and the mothers
heart beat with pride whenever she
thought about it. He couldn't have
stirred il he had wanted to- Finally
the city was reached and the fond mo-
ther left the carriage. and with her
babe at her bosom, entered the inn.
MY blessed baby boy" she murmured.
as she began removing the blankets
from around him and piled them up on
the kitchen bench. "let me kiss him"
And she stopped to touch him with her
lips as she opened the blanket. But
she started back suddenly, for a pair Of
fat, red feet were disclosed, instead OF
the expected freckled face. Little
Smokes mother reversed him at once.
to find him peacefully sucking his
thumb and gently snoring. She had
carried him bottom side up clear from
the farm, and he didn't know the DIFF
ference. Such was his power Of making
the best OF things when he was a baby.
The Jig Always Slept Soundly.
The Jigadier's ability TO sleep soundIy
in time Of great danger has always been
noticeable even from early childhood.
His parents we're making journey over
the prairie at time when the hero had
not yet reached his second year. The
team that was taking them to their
destination-a dance. l think. or
camp meeting fractions, and
finally ran away. The future fighter of
battles was asleep in his mothers arms.
The team, after running for some dis
tance, turned suddenly, upsetting the
vehicle and throwing the party out very
roughly. The shock threw the baby
from his mothers arms, and he was
rudely rolled along the prairie for dis
tance OF fifteen yards. AS soou as con-
venient his mother picked him up, and
unrolled his coverings to discover the
nature OF his injuries. He was strange
ly quiet. and the mothers heart-as we'll
as her back and ribs-acbed. But a
single glance at the babe treasured her.
He Was sound asleep, and had not even
removed his thumb from his mouth.
Such composure at so early an age was.
indeed. remarkable, and spoke volumes
for his future career.

receive It. 1t was the pledge in the St
Louis platform to secure bimetsllism
by International agreement that landed
him in the White house. So says Hon.
John M. Thurston. Republican senator
from Nebraska. The pledge of an inter-
national bimetallism held enough sill
yer Republicans in line to give the
election to Mr.. Mckinley"
By what subterfuge Mr.. Mckinley
expects to be reelected in 1900 nobody
seems to know, but oven the devil has
persuasive way Of quoting scripture
which deceives the children of light,
and 1t is presumable that some great
fraud, or fake, will be dressed UP in
attractive colors like circus posters to
draw the crowd. Forestalling an evil
is better than repenting for it's exist
ence, and political evil must be fore
stalled. This Is an occasion when the
personnel of Mr.. Mckinley is involved.
and he is too much mixed up with
grievances that 60 to the destruction
Of the public welfare to make him a
desirable candidate on any platform.
He would betray every plank if he
were told to do so, and his entourage is
of that suspicious character that COM
pels one to hold his nose while in his
presence. 1t Is corrupt, and could not
be its own master If it Wished to, for
it is in the power OF British fnan-
ciers.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-03-12

Senator Aldrich, in discussing the
gold standard bill from the Republican
standpoint, uttered the following re-
markable thought:
No sane man believed for an in
slant that the opening of our mints to
the free coinage of silver at the ration
of 16 to l would raise the value of sill
yer bullion from it's current CONNER
cial price to its mint price,"
When 1t comes to value" there is
no intrinsic value of any kind of bull
lion converted into money, not even
gold. In trust circles the value OF
a thing is the price that can be OBJ
tanned for it. So the w.ole of the
senator's argument amounts to the Gu
rious supposition that, with silver bull
lion raised to $1.29 per ounce at the
mint, people would still sell their silver
bullion at 60 cents. This is what the
silver producer is now uoing, and it
is what the Democratic party protests
against. If it be insanity to desire an
advance in the price of our most val
liable product, then the sooner we all
become insane the better for the coun.
try.

THEY WILL NOT FORGET,

THE voters of this country will not
forget the multitudinous scandals and
violations of platform pledges, the in
credible increase in public expenses,
and the peril in the tendency of af-
fairs" says the Helena Independent.
They will keep their wits about them
from this time forth. There never was
time when SO many voters knew so
much about the history of their coun-
try, and SO much of the science of
political economy; every year the
number grows. These voters will
know, most of them know already, that
blooms" are ephemeral affairs, and
that over-capitalization of trusts and
monopolies must react upon somebody,
and they know full well that the work.
ingmen will be the somebody" upon
whom the reaction will fall.
mot a voter will go to the polls
next November without having studied
the question of the menace of militar-
ism in a free country, the deception
and treachery practiced by the admin
istration toward silver, the violation of
the pledge to improve the civil service,
the departure from the teachings of
Washington and the fathers on the
subject Of foreign entanglements, the
operations of Gage and the United
States treasury at the demand of stock
gamblers and favorite money clique.
"Panics have been coming SO fast
as a result Of Republican legislation
that temporary conditions of boom will
not convince the intelligent voter that
reaction will never come. They will
not forget"

STATISTICAL LIES.

The ordinary weapons formerly used
by the father Of lies to entrap mankind
are effete and childish. He has, how
ever, invented a new device, which op-
crates upon men like fly-paper on flies
it catches them every time. In sta
tistics" modern man will find his down.
fall, particularly in that branch of sta
tistics known as financial" The dew
il scatters them in our midst, and we
struggle and grasp after them like
drowning men at straws, and every
man seizes upon the wrong fact, and,
OF course, makes a wrong application
of it. Anent this new disposition to
get wrong and then stick to it in spite
of the truth, the Louisville Courier
Journal is a living example and
warning.
During the past twenty-nine months
! there has been an international trade
balance in our favor upon the mer-
chandise and gold movement of ST.
100 100000, or about $492 100000. To
this must be added silver exports OF
$25. 100000 yearly. This produces net
apparent value of considerably over
81 200 100000, but this is subject to the
invisible movement of exchange in
volved in the payment of interest
! abroad, freight charges, travellers ex-
| penses. and so on.
How much of this has been settled
abroad We cannot say. The amount
is large, but it cannot be figured out
with precision. Beyond question the
debt to us is large, and as We are in
creasing our merchandise exports and
only moderately adding to our i'm
! ports, there is no chance that we shall
become embarrassed even by the loss
of $400o0,000 or s5O,OO0,000 ON this
movement"
The vinegar in the molasses, the
trap, the pitfall and death blow to the
statistics Is labeled with How much
OF this has been settled by the return
of our securities from abroad we can
not say" The truth is, our tremen-
dous balance of trade has been wiped
out by the return of "our securities"
and instead of being a creditor nation,
we are debtor, and paying our debts
in gold Moreover, our debts are al
ways increasing. We are worse off
than the little Argentine republic.
which actually receives it's balance Of
trade in cash and not wind, and what
is paid her in gold is recouped by
drawing on us. We are the scape-
goats, the holders of the sack which
the whole world draws from and gives
us back our securities"

REASONS FOR SOME WARS.
Apparently Doesn't Take Much to Les
John Bull to Fight.

Apparently Doesn't Take Much to Lead
John Bull to Fight.
An English paper has the following
to say on the reasons for some British
wars: From all appearances it does
not take much provocation to set John
Bull at war. William the Cohqueror
made war on France because King
Philip had made sighting allusion
to his embonpoint. More recent wars
have been brought about by trivial in
cidents. In 1910 large trade in opium
was done by British traders in China,
and the Chinese government at length
forbade the importation of the per-
nicious drug by our sailors. The edict,
however, had little or no effect, and the
trade continued, till at length the
Chinese imprisoned a number Of Brit
ish subjects and we promptly declared
war. Our second war, in 1856, ought
never to have come about if It's origin
Is taken into account. A Chinese pi-
rate hoisted the British flag at his
mainmast, and was afterward seized by
his government as bloodthirsty ad-
venturer. Had he failed to run up our
flag his capture would have been re-
garded as good thing here, but as it
was, 1t was taken as an insult, and we
made war on the Chinese for refusing
to apologize. The horrors of the In
dian mutiny will still be remembered
by minority of our readers, and the
cause which led to 1t is matter of
history. Cartridges creased with cows
fat were served out to the Sepoys, who
refused to use them on the ground that
the COW was sacred animal. We in
sisted, and almost without any warn
ing, the terrible massacres followed,
which were only avenged at an enor-
nous expenditure Of lives md money"
