Declares Silver Issue Dead.

1--WE believe and affirm that the unpre-
cedented production OF gold throughout
the world, and the marvellous foreign
sales of our products of field, farm and
shop, have so increased the available sup
ply of money in the United States that for
the present there is no question of cur
rency to be considered by the citizen. We
are confirmed in this position by the acts
and words of the Democratic party and
its standard bearer.
The Democratic national convention, It
is true, adopted a specific declaration in
favor Of the free coinage of silver but.
at the next moment, as il in mockery of
the honest advocates of silver coinage. il
Rugged to its bosom the uncomprOmising
and eternal enemies of silver among the
eastern Democracy, and, clamoring for
the nomination of the great Democratic
arch-enemy of silver. TO the vice presi-
dency. deliberately reIegated the currency
question TO the cold storage room OF
American politics by declaring that i'm
perlallSm IS paramount and superior to
eVC-- other question at issue.
1.-The Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency, in his speech of acceptance at In
dianapoiis, decried and denounced the dis
cussiOn in this campaign of all purely
economic questions. and then devoted
5000 well weighed and carefully cOnsid-
cred words to the paramount issue ut
tering not one syllable in advancement or
defense of western interests.

Appeals to State Pride.

I'm this connection we earnestly invite
the attention of our fellow citizens to the
new and splendid market opening out in
the Orient for every product of these
western states. In our new possessions
won by the assistance of Utah'S valiant
volunteers, of whose splendid sOldieTIy
qualities and achievements we are all so
justly proud, ten millions of people stand
ready To absorb the surplus products of
the west Those possessions, in such
close proximity to the shores of China,
Will. as long as our flag flies above them,
command for our products an open door
l. the markets Of four hundred millions
of people With those millions the pro
duce=s of Utah will find a ready market
for every product of their fields and
mines These great possibilities have
been secured by the action of the present
national administration. and the Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency de-
cl2res that If elected, he viii forthwith
iaausurate a policy. which. if it means
anything. means withdrawal from the
Philippines The result of such a step
would be to close all gateways in the
Orient to American commerce Such an
act would be forever disastrous to the
great interests of these mountain states,
and for that reason, if there We're no
other. we earnestly appeal to the people
of Utah to assist us in sustaining our
control of che Philippine islands by re-
electinS William Mckinley.

PAYING FOR A MEAL.
1t Was Worth n Shilling to Pick
Those Bones.

1t Was Worth "A Shilling to Pick
Those Bones.
Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, of Revolu-
tionary fame, was born and bred in
Middleboro, Mass. He was always
fond of joke and was quick to seize
an opportunity to indulge his propen-
sity, as the following incident, related
by DR.. Hildreth, well illustrates. His
father, also Colonel Sproat, kept a
tavern. One day while Ebenezer was
at home on furlough three private
soldiers, ON their return from the seat
of war, called for cold luncheon.
Mrs. Sproat set ON the table some
bread and cheese with the remnants Of
the family dinner, which her son
thought rather scanty fare for hungry
men. He felt little vexed that the
defenders of the country We're not
more bountifully supplied. The sol
dicrs, after satisfying their appetites,
asked him how much they should pay.
Ebenezer said he would ask his moth
er. He found her in the kitchen.
"Mother," he said, chow much is it
worth to pick those bones?"
"About a shilling, l guess" she an
swered.
The young officer returned to the sol
diers, and, taking from the barroom till
3 shillings and smiling genially upon
them, gave each man one and with
good wishes sent them on their way
Mrs. Sproat soon after came in and
asked Ebenezer what he had done with
the money for the soldiers dinner.
In apparent amazement he eXclaim-
ed: Money! Did | not ask you what
it was worth to pick those bones, and
you said shilling? | thought it little
enough, for the bones We're pretty bare,
and l handed the men the money
from the till, and they are gone"
Mrs. Sproat could not find heart to
reprove her favorite son for this mis-
Interpretation of her words, and then
she, too, loved a joke, and so after an
instant's glum look, she laughed and
said it was all right.-Youth's Com

A Fashion Hint,

A point noticed on many of the new
gowns Is that the trimming ON the
front of the waist and the trimming on
the front Of the skirt are often exactly
alike, the only break being where the
belt crosses. For example, where tho
front of the waist is tucked the same
tucking is repeated on the front
breadth Of the skirt but the line Oh
tucks Is made narrower just IT the
waist line. Thfs Improves the figure
and takes away the square look that
would otherwise be given. There Is
always trimming down the front of
the waist on either side of this other
trimming, which Is repeated on the
skirt.-Harper's Bazar.

THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

There is time Of morning
When the jubilant, newborn day Z
And the opal tints of approaching dawn
As yet seem far away.
In the eastern sky is movement, -
No glow, but impending change. ~
The house is filled with echoes; 4.
Familiar rooms look strange.
Slip back the bolts and leave them; -,
Steal out beneath the sky; IN
Stand alone in an unknown world -
OF awful purity. p.
Stand alone with folded hands,
Wait for the gift of wings,
Wait to be lifted higher,
Nearer the heart OF thingsI B.
The heavens are clear and moonlit
Though the moon is on the wane;
The wind that walled throughout the night
Drops with sigh of pain.
A vague alarm is creeping
Over the fields and lawn;
Time pauses, night Is over,
And yet 1t is not dawn.
Away down in the pastures
The cattle turn and moan;
All living things are troubled
With a seuse of the unknown.
.i.a
For they with eyes may see now,
And they who question know.
Make the most of the magic hour;
The east begins to glowl
The east Is all in tumult,
The charmed hour is past,
For, breaking up the quiet skies,
The day appears at last.

1t was the chiropodist from the floor
above the majors office, and he passed
the door two or three times before
knocking, as If to get up his courage.
Come in!' called the major in a
bland and CHEEKY voice. Come right
In! BY George, but what coincidence
what a coincidence! Not a minute
ago l sat down to write you a note
asking you to step down here. There
is surely such a thing as mental teleg-

odist as he lugged out bill.
"Just so-exactly-just So" smiled
the major as he rubbed his hands to-
gether. "Yes, sir, about four months
