how Butler Was Cornered.

Senator Butler, Of South Carolina, the
head and front Of the Popullsts, was
Dsatiy cornered In the senate during the
DISCUSSION Of the financial bill. sena-
tor Aidrich stuck the probe in deep. and
succeeded In obtaining good results. He
inquired Of the South Carolinan: Are
YOU and the Populist party now In
favor Of the free coinage Of sllver?"
'grhs question Is uascIentiflc." replied
Mr.. ButIer, amid a storm OF laughter.
He continued, getting red in the face:
IT would not favor 1t II the increase in
silver was faster than the increase Of
population and business, which would
disturb values. I have favored It In the
past. I am in favor of stopping intia-
ton whenever that imitation is greater
than business and population de-
rnands."
, To this remarkable confession on the
part of a champion Of Bryan's cause
Senator Aldrich replied:
I have watched with great interest tho
disappearing Of supporters Of free coinage
trOfn the other side OF LID chamber. idh
never expected that the senators from
North Carolina and Nebraska would thus
unesTemoniouBly abandon that standard.

Tayenner is willing.

Some time ago, when Judge L. N.
Tavenner, Of Parkersburg. was mem
TONED as a receptive candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor, it
was pointed out by his friends that the
aniable jurist was not laundering after
the honor. 1t was then stated in all
S.riousness that It would not do for him
70 retire from the judgshlp Of a circuit
, which was normally Republican, and
only Democratic owing to Mr.. Taven-
ner's popularity. but 1t appears that
"things'' haye happened slnce and the
fudge as much as says to the Demo
craey, "Ill leave my happy home for
you." We are glad for the sake Of
other .aspirants that Judge TavenneF
has made II 50 plain that even Judge
Lucas, the pensive poet on the other
side Of the mountains, need not err
therein. There are others who. nc
doubt, would come out az unequlvocally
for the nominatlDs, but the Democratic
syndicate that $ pr7moting the guber'
material trust will have mono Of them
Their mournful cry IS II Haint Got nc
Happy Home to Leave"
Judge Tavenner while an able ant
clean man, will hnd the Republican op'
position to him. II he is nominated
most cordial and hearty.

OF What SEX Is Honsstyp

Chicago Tribune: Taking the word
honesty In Its broadest meaning. Of sln-
certify, truthfulness, and fair dealing,
can 1t be said that women are more
honest than men? Are they mroe
STRAIGHTFORWARD in their dealings. truer
to their promises, more punctual In
their appointments? Are they quicker
than men to press their fares nnon neg-
lectful conductors and more zoalous In
rcctlfylrg favorable errors 10 change?
For a long time women have competed
with men in businesses, have they eRFn-
ed the reputation of being ''stFalghter?"
Is the woman dressmaksr trueF 20 her
appointments than the man tailor md
more reliable in the matter Of blllB2
These are the natural queries that
rise in response to that frequent de-
mand that the pure stream Of femi-
nine honesty be turned into the turbid
pools of the business world. II charity
covers a multitude Of sins, honesty
embraces an army Of virtues, and
among these 1t includes sincerity in
speech and thought. Are women more
candid in conversation than men and
more truthful in thought. OF course
honesty carried to an extreme, TO the
point where one Is too honest 70 b rich
or too truthful to be polite, q called
cranlSiness, yet this, too, 10 esteemed a
virtue. Perhaps the extremist Ia hon
esty is more apt to be a woman than a
man, but, on the whole, one igiinclined
to believe that this rareSt Of al Wiz
tues is an Individual matter and q not
the exclusive privilege OF either 0ex.

virpinin pebt question.

The Democratic papers Of this state
not all OF them, but those Of the most
yirulent DemocrGcy-raised q loud cry
over the action Of the Virginia lrElsia-
t,re on the debt question, measures
passed by that body, which contem-
Mated a Settlement Of West Virgtnfas
share Of that obligation, and connected
senator Rlllns with the project of SUI
ing this state. AS the Intelligencer
pointed out some days ago, this is the
same decreplt subterfuge that has been
+. resorted to on all occasions Of political
excitement, From time to time0 and
especially in campaign years. the malig-
nant Democracy has associated promi-
nent Republicans with being in the
scheme Of attempting to push this arbl-
trary matter to legal conclusIon-that
is. accepting rs an honest debt the West
virginia certificates issued by the Old
state. Those Democratic ra9er5 which
nave spread the libel on Senator Elkins
have never been guilty OF the courtesy
OF publishing his emphatic dsEiai OF
any connection with the eastern holders
Of these so-called West Virginia certia-
Gates but, on the contrary, have been
ipsistent on It's truth, and for their ben
e6t we quote a Richmond dispatch to
the Baltimore Sun, treating of the debt
commission recently appointed by the
Virginia legislature. which says:
'There are grave doubts whether this
commission will ever bring any suit
AGAINST West Virginia. The attorney
general has more than ever been quoted
in the debates in the legislature on this
subject as being opposed to such
course. For years the holders Of these
west Virginia certificates have vainly
endeayored to induce the Virginia legls
Iature to allow them to bring suit
against West Virginia in the name Of
this commonwealth. The proposition
never received any encouragement in
all Of these years"
The Virginia debt question Is always
somnolent in this state until the des-
perate Democracy awakens it for its
own base purposes, the underlying
spirit Of its motive being to create a
false impression as to the attitude of
the Republican party in West Virginia,
with regard to obligations 1t has never
recognized as legal or equitable.

TEN. II agree with that, said he. II

whether Mr.. Butler was or was not in
favor of the free coinage Of silver to
which the South Carolina senator eva
slyely replied:
II think the United States should
open It's mints to the free coinage Of
silver and stlll not increase the circu-
latlng medium to an amount larger
than the business interests Of the coun-
try require. But may be mistaken.

There is one feature of the refundIns

which It may be well for holders Of
bonds to bear in mind, as 1t may hasten
somewhat the tender of private hold

OF the treasury to make less favor

named by the law. While he is forbid

exchange which will make them return
more than two and a quarter per cent

upon his paying less price, which will
afford a smaller return.

Hellum was known to exist in the

by Loekyer In the solar spectrum, long
before Ramsay Isolated It in 1896 thus
showing It to be also terrestrial ele-
nent This gas has about twice the
density OF hydrogen. Certain other
colored Hines were assigned by Lockyer
to another element, which he called
'coronium." but this has not yet been
isolated, but an italian spectroscoplst
has proven its existence on earth by de-
tecting Its lines In gases from the era
ter Of Yesuvius, Other lines stlll have
now attracted the attention Of physi-
cists studying the solar spectrum.
These are asslgnsd to two other hypo-
thetical elements. which are named

is more remarkable and almost start

passing through a wheat-grewing sec

no attention to other trains, and kept
close to the cars, constantly dashing on
each side. 1t was found that the air

in the smaller birds, which were thus
mado easy victims OF the cunning
hawk.
