Where is That $500, 900, 900.

According to Secretary Gage S400 .000.-
900 in gold has very mysteriously disap-
peared from this country.
The Secretary and the Assistant Treas
urer of the United States are trying to
nd this lost treasure and it is the duty
of ofevery patriotic citizen to eid the search
by every means at his command.
Just how Secretary Gage reached the
conclusion that the country should have
$500 900 900 more gold than can be found
in its possession is not clear.
The secretary says that in the '70s
there was Sl2O 900 900 in gold coin in the
hands of the American people and that
since then a very careful account has been
kept by the treasury department of the
coinage, IMPORTS and exports of gold.
The treasury officials, therefore, were
confident that they knew practically
where all our gold was except that which
was used in the arts and sciences.
So Secretary Gage tells US of his dis
covery that there should be in the
treasury, the sub-treasury and the banks
over ST ,000, 900 900 in gold coin, but we
were somewhat astonished when we
found that $400 OOO,0 900 in gold had dis
appeared"
In his effort to account for this big
discrepancy the secretary has instructed
the assistant treasurer to make inquiry
of every manufacturing jeweler in the
country as to the quantity OF gold he has
used during the last year. Other in
qures have been instituted and Secre-
tary Gage hopes soon to have his anxiety
about the missing $500 600, 600 in gold
relieved. This is a my sterious matter,
and we shall watch the secretary's efforts
to elucidate it.-Atanta Constitution.

IT is rather a bold experiment on the
part of the managers of the Philadelphia
Republican National Convention to Sc
lect as the person to open the session
with prayer the same clergyman who
asked thesDivine blessing on the DELHI
erations of the Republican convention of
1856, which first gave national voice
against slavery. Not only has the per
sonnel and methods of national conven-
tions changed, but the purposes of the
Republican party have been subverted
and changed. The convention which in
1856 plead for liberty, must now seek to
justify or ignore the colonial policy in
Puerto Rico, the military government
of Cuba, and the practical slavish domi-
nation of the Philippines. The people
who went to the Republican Convention
in 1855, were there to brave the dangers
of opposing powerful obligarchy and
of asserting principle hostile to the
great body of the people of the country
The people who go to the convention OF
1900 will have their pay in their pockets,
and will shout and cheer for every de-
parture from the acts and purposes
which animated the convention of 1856.

Weather Report.

During the week ending Monday,
2Sth, 1900, the temperature has been
slightly below the normal, about 2 de-
grees each day, aud the rainfall much in
excess, especially in the Southern sec
ton. Although the nights have been
too cool for the growth of tender vine
truck, yet wheat, rye, oats, clover, tins
othy, potatoes and corn have greatly
improved, The heavy rains on the Oath
and 25th were general in all sections, and
much needed in portions of the Southern
section, where some crops were begin
ming to suffer for the want lit. In this
section early Strawberries and peas are
going to market. In the extreme north
ern section, the outlook for all orchard
fruits is reported to be most encouraging,
and the planting of corn and potatoes
nearing the finish.

government once abandons the doc
trine that it exists only by consent OF

Every true friend aid supporter OF
the democratic candidate will do as
Mr.. Bryan wishes in the matter. No
body but the republicans, assistant re-
publicans, or those who for some rea-
son desire to divide and defeatthedem
~ocratic party, will take the emphasis
from the paramount issue, to place it
on a secondary issue of little real
consequence or vitality in the present
campaign
The place for every true and loyal
democrat at this crisis is to stand on
the democratic platform; accepting
as paramount the issue made para

her grumbling was hat none of her
friends had been to see her for four

about that long enough she began to
fret about a big fly, one of those pre-
mature giants one sees now and then
in the spring. which was buzzing about
her room. The nurse came in several
times, and it seemed to the sick woman
that instead of trying to drive the fly
out she carefully avoided disturbing
it. st length the invalid could endure
it no longer.
IF you don't drive that fly out she
said. I shall go screaming mad

London to the British East Indies in
January and February aggregated

the exports were 1861 ,955, an increase
of 63.7 per cent. The outflow tc.China
