exchange operations, but for the petty buy ing and selling of a country where most of the population are very poor and prices are low the yellow metal is less convenient than silver. In China, indeed copper or bronze coins are the cash of the people, a very cheap metal suitlng best for very small transactions. As much as $25 900, 900 of silver has been shipped in the last three quarters from London to the British East Indies an increase of over $7,600,0OO over last year. England imported in the nine months ended with September $i7 00O GOO worth of silver, of which amount the Unit ed States supplied $lO.3OO00O. The total movement to India, China and Japan was $46, S00000, China taking s21, 100000 worth. The foreign troops in China require silver for local payments, and Chinese merchants, in consequence of the war, prefer silver to goods in payment of Chinese exports. The increase of silver shipments to the East last year is some $l5O0O,00O or 46 per cent The facts seem to show that the East Is still capable of absorbing silver and may continue to do so for long period

Less Haste More Speed.

In the Democratic party this is the hour Of statesmen who, although-they did noth- ing 10 avert defeat, stand ready with cure-all well adapted at least to their busi- ness. But Governor Stone of Missouri rounds up these early birds very finely when he says public sentiment is a growth and not an article that can be made to or der even by great statesmen. He tells them that they must await the growth and de- yelopmet of public sentiment which will show itself through the organized party in its conventions or other assem- blages The Don Dickinsons are told that they can meet and ''resoloot' as much as they please, but the people will act and they will be in no hurry to act so far as 1904 is concerned either.
 Mr. Carlisle proposes an immediate return to something or other, but he, too, forgets that immediate returns exist only in the brains of statesmen who have a scheme on hand. The people are in no immediate mood. They will wait and reflect and still wait They will be very deliberate in their re- turning They are not in a hurry. They are men of leisure now so far political action is involved. The meetings of statesmen in New York for the purpose of reorganiz- ing a party already fully organized, may as well be called off MT. Dickinson and MT. Carlisle will soon find that they must work in and through the organization, beginning with the district or county organization, and going through 1t to the State organiz- ation and when they have nodded the lat ter to suit their views, they are at liberty 10 mold the national organization. They cannot accomplish anything outside of the party organization. They may think they can; they may think they can stampede the rank and file in the hour of defeat; but they cannot do anything of the kind; for men are not in a mood to consider the sub ject at all at present They will wait to see to what excesses the trusts and the ad- ninistration will be carried by overwhelm- ing victory and then they will begin to for lnulate slowly a plan for the next strug- o1a

THE PAUPER's DEATH-BED.

By Caroline Anne Bowles. Tread softly-bow the head-in reverent si- lence bow. No passing bell doth toll; yet an immortal soul
 Is passing now, Stranger! however great, with lowly rever- ence bow; There's one in that poor shed-one by that paltry bed-
 Greater than thou. Beneath that beggars roof, Lo! Death doth keep his state; En ter--no crowds attend: eEter-no guards defend
 This palace gate. That pavement damp and cold no smiling courtiers tread; One silent woman stands, lifting. with meagre hands
 A dying head. No mingllng voices sound-an infant vail alone; A sob suppressed-again that short deep gasp, and then
 The parting groan. O change-O wondrous change! Burst arc the prison bars; This moment there, so low, so agonized, and now
 Beyond the stars. O change-stupendous changei There lies the soulless clod; The sun eternal breaks-the new immortal
 Wakes with his God.

LEFT $1oo,ooo TO HIS NURSE.

From the New York World.
 One hundred thousand dollars is waiting the orders of Mrs. Lena Gordon whenever she wishes to claim 1t. It was left to her by the will of the late Robert F. Bixby.
 Mrs Gordon, the lucky heiress. will re- ceive the fortune as the reward of long and faithful service. She is a widow, and came to this city from Washington to earn her living.
 That was several years ago, and MT. Bixby. who was ill at the time, engaged her as nurse. MT. Bixby remained an invalid up to the day of his death, Octo- Der 16 last, and the faithful woman was his constant attendant.
 When MT. Bixby made his will he be- queathed GOO to Mrs. Gordon "in recog- milton and appreciation of her careful and skillful nursing of me through an illness of several years duration, and her faith full and devoted services to me at all times
 Later MT. Bxby added a codicil to his will, leaving Mrs Gordon ss0,000 more 'in appreciation of the continued patient care and nursing devoted to me during my pro- tracted illness"
 Some valuable orange groves in Florida are beaueathed to Charles F. Martin, who was formerly in Mir. Bixbys employ. Betty Johnson, a servant, is to be paid Si0O0. MT. Bixbys estate was worth about $100,OOO.
 Mir Bixby was one of the owners of the Casino Theatre, and in May, 1895, figured in famous law suit which resulted in his busting the Aronsons from the playhouse.

The Warrior in Congress.

Oscar w. Underwood and John H. Bank head 20 back to Washington with pracu- ca1lv three years of service before them. They go back supported by practically unanimous votes. MT. Underwood had no opposition and Mir. Bankhead next to none. Both command to an unusual degree the confidence of admiring constituents, who are too glad to honor and reward them.
 These two men represent the mineral dis trict of Alabama, by far the most active and promising district in the entire South ern country. They go back charged with the mandate, "Open the Warrior" But they go back to Republican Congresses, and they have a difficult task before them. Republicans who believe in fair play and increased exports should, however be ready to open speedily district that is full of promise-a district that is full of iron ore and coal, every pound of which lies nearer the sea than any other deposits of a like nature do.
 The task of securing a heavy approprla- ton for the speedy opening of this district by water navigation is. however, full of difficulty; but MT. Underwood and MT. Bankhead understand such difficulties in all their aspects, and we may be sure that whatever can be accomplished will be. These men have indeed in charge the chief task now resting upon the shoulders of the Alabama delegation. The opening of the Warrior means very much to the State. It means much in wealth, population and general prosperity. All should promote it to the best of their respective opportuni- ties and the rest can be safely left in the hands of Messrs. Underwood and Bank. head, who jointly represent the minera district of the State.

Fiorida's Capital and Convention.

The people of Florida have voted against the proposition of holding a Constitutional Convention, and they have also given Tal- laiiasee, as a capital, heavy plurality en- dorsement, if not a majority, over Jack sonville, St. Augustine and Ocala com bned. These votes mean that the capital of the State will continued to be Tallahas- sec, which will soon be quite a railroad center.
 These votes mean, too, that the hope of acquiring Pensacola and the rest of Vest ern Florida as a finishing out of Alabama must be given up. While Tallahassee re- mains the capital of the State Western Florida cannot be attached and added to Alabama. It was a passing dream only one that should have come true, but one that would not and that is the end of it.
 The Governor-elect of Florida is Judge Jennings, a native of Illinois, a cousin of William Jennings Bryan. whose views on public questions he shares. He became a citizen of Florida in 1886, residing at Brook vile, where he became lawyer and an active politician. He has been successlYely Circuit Court Commissioner. County Judge,

HEAVY STORM,
Gales Sweep Over the Lake Reqion-
 Shipping Damaged.

Chicago, November 9.-Professor Cox. local forecast official of the Weather Bu- reau, says the gale which broke on the lakes Wednesday night and proved to be the heaviest storm of the year is abatinr and will pass over today.
 On Lake Superior four consorts were torn from their steamers and three of them are still adrift or have gone ashore
 The schooner Stafford was wrecked at Good Harbor, Mich, and made a total loss The schooner Maumee Valley was driven ashore near Port Colbora- Several large steamers were driven back to Chicago after being exposed to the gale for a few hours and largeboats were generally seeking shelter on Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron.
 The wind which at many places attained a velocity of over forty miles an hour was accompanied by fine snow and with the biting cold made it bitter work for the marines. So far as known no lives were lost.

WHAT DID IT,

From the New York Journal
 William Mckinley has been reelected but in a fashion that can be no source of pride to him nor humiliation to Democra- cy. Enormous Democratic gains through out the country show that the party of Jefferson is fast emerging from it's long eclipse
 MT. Bryan would have been trlumph- antly elected but for two things. The first was in the discretion of the silver issue Free silver was dead, and so unpopular that even its corpse was enough to drag any man down to defeat.
 .The second was the policy of cutting loose entirely from the Philippines. That was not in accord with the spirit of the American people.
 MT. Bryans place in the hearts of the Democratic millions is secure. He remains in defeat, as he would have been in victory a commanding figure; a fine conscientious man loved and admired by the great masses of the people. But the attempt 10 revive free silver and the proposed aban- donment of territory that was already American soil, were fatal mistakes, which have cost us this election.

CHICAGO
Wants Deep Water To the Mississippi
 River.

Chicago, November 9.-The board of trus- tees of the sanitary district have decided to begin an active campaign for the purpose of securing a deep water way to the Mis- sissippi. Col. J. w. Barlow and Mai '. McD. Townsend, members of the beard Ss engineers, whose duty it is to report to Congress regarding the advsability of deepening the Illinois river, reached c-ni- cago today, and were taken on a trip down the canal. Maj. J. H. Willard is also a member of the board.
 The trustees ordered that memorial prepared by Engineer Randolph be pre- sented to the board of engineers next week. In this report the engineers are asked to recommend to Congress that the Illinois be dredged to a depth of fourteen feet.
 The memorial closes as follows: 'The law makes Chicago turn over to the United States government its entire investment, aggregating $34, PA, upon one condition, namely, that it shall improve the Des- plaines and Illinois rivers for navigation to connect with this channel"

FOREIGN MAILS.
Captain Brooks Reports On His De-
 partment.

Washington, November 9-Capt. N. NJ. Brooks. superintendent of foreign mails, says in his annual report that there were S,325 O16 pounds of mail matter dispatched by sea to foreign countries during the last fiscal year. Of this 5,722. 4S3 pounds were for transatlantic destinations, almost two and half millions going to Great Britain.
 Transatlantic mails increased 429,S47 pounds over the previous year. The aggre- gate cost of the foreign mail service was &, ,15S, ,o33. It is estimated that $4,31S,S04 was received by the Postoffice Department as postage on articles exchanged with all for eign countries.
 Captain Brooks says the rule under which the mails for transatlantic des situations We're for many years assigned to the fast est vessels available for their conveyance has not been rigidly adhered to during the year just closed, preference having been given vessels flying the flag of the United States.
 The report makes a strong plea for the international parcels post service. The re- port embraces statistics furnished by the Universal Postal Union regarding the pos tai service of the forty-three principal countries of the world in 1S9s It shows that the United States has the largest number of post offices, as well as employes. and Congo the least.
 AS postal income Germany ranks first, the united States second and Great Britain third and in postal expenditures the Unit ed States ranks first, Germany second and Great Britain third Great Britain ranks hrst in the amount of postal surplus and the United States first in amount of da fciency.

MT. Catchina's Programme.

Congressman Catohings of Mississippi who isln the sixteenth year of his Congress sional service, recommends a very good programme for the future lie says:
 Revive the fundamental question of taxation, teach the Democratic doc Urine that people canot be made rich by taxing them, assail the faVoritism and wrongs of a high protective tar if, stand for the control of trusts and combinations by methods not oppress- i've, demand enlargement of the pow CTS of the Interstate Commerce Com mission and the liberal improvement of harbors, and insist on local self-gov- ernment.
 There Is not a line here inconsistent with the Kansas City platform and there is not Q line that is not good Democratic doc Urine. As a rule, the eure-alls of the day relate to a revolution in organization. The 'outs" want to be 'ins" by short route. But Congressman Catchings presents no centrate the force of the party upon known economic evils, and the indiees show that he has the right SOW by the ear. He very plainly wants to curb trusts by putting their products on the free list, and he has certainly reached correct conclusions in that respect. Every honest Democrat will uphold him in that and in all else of his programme
