mckinley is going on coming mil
lions of dollars every month-every
dollar at the ratio of l6-to-l. There
seems to be no difference between the
parties on the question of ratio. John
W. Kern, Democratic Candidate for
Governor OF Indiana.
He knows better. He knows that I'M
der our present currency system 1t Is
not the weight OF the silver dollar that
determines its value, but the fact that
the government keeps it worth gold
dollar by restriction of the coinage and
by indirect system OF redemption.
1t now makes no difference to the val
ue, therefore, whether the dollar con-
tains 37lt grains OF silver, or 700 grain
whether it weighs Is times as much as
the gold dollar or 30 times as much.
The ratio is quite immaterial, so long
as the coinage is limited and carried on
only on government account, and the
silver dollars are maintained at pari-
ty with gold. One might as we'll talk
of the ratio of 200.to.1 between copper
and gold, or OF 1000. to-1 between paper
and gold, as something important.
But the moment you propose free
coinage, the ratio becomes OF the ut
NEST Importance. For under free coin
age it is the value OF II bullion in the
coin that determines the value OF the
coin. So, while the relative weights
material under our present system OF
restricted coinage OF silver and main
tenance OF parity, such weight ratio
would be very important under free
coinage.

The Mexican Herald in discussing
the silver question says:
1.-THE silver question will not down
in American politics. People who
these days of prosperity want to know
II what they have is to be scaled down
one-half. 1t is natural desire for
information. Here in Mexico we
know what the deprecated dollar
means. Neither that great statesman
president Porfirio Diaz) nor his sue
cessful and accomplished minister OF
finance make any idol of silver They
regard it as means to an end and
when that end is achieved Mexico will
adopt such standard as suits her
interests best. Perhaps Mexico may
remain with the silver standard; per-
haps adopt the gold basis. What we
want TO make clear to the money-talk-
ing politicians up north is that Mexico
is not enthusiastic over the white met
al; there is deal OF conversation and
sense in the government that Gen.
Diaz is giving this land. The admins
tration is not waxing poetical over the
silver dollar of the Mexico OF the past.
1t is fortunate for Mexico at this stage
of its development that brass bands
and spellbinders are not now making
the peoples political convictions for
them -

The Social Glass.

The peace, prosperity and successful gov
ernment OF the home and family are large
ly due to the good example and wise coun-
sci of the upright wife and mother. The
power of her influence and the Importance
of her right home relations and PRINCIPLES
are the greatest factors in the good fight
against the fearful ravages of the drink
curse. The true wife and mother incul-
Gates the blessings of sobriety and total
abstinence, and deprecates the evil infu.
ence of social and moderate drinking.
One of the valuable lessons which young
men and women should early learn is that
the appetite for liquor works the ruin OF
those who are enslaved and that total
abstinence brings peace and happiness
to all who practice 1t.
An earnest man consecrated to the cause
of temperance can rescue and rehabiitate
many a poor drunkard through his timely
aid and benefcent counsel
Many refined and cultivated family

A Gruasome Tragedy.

At the muzzie of revolver Charles a.
Smith. formerly a Wabash Railroad con-

ture on the evils of intemperance. Then,
pressing the weapon to his head, he blew
his brains out in the midst OF those stand.

Holding glass of liquor in his left
hand Smith drew revolver from hs
pocket with the other and ordered every
one in the saloon to remain quiet and
make no attempt to leave.
This is to be my last drink" he said.

"All you fellows had better quit drink

with the railroad company, and every

been spent for liquor.
Remember this little lecture, men.

James Irwin and Peter Mes, who were
standing near Smith. thought the latter
intended to hold up the saloon and they
attempted to escape.
Hold on, there commanded the man
with the uplifted revolver.
Smith then ordered the six men, in
Guiding Timothy Foley, the bartender, to
line up in front of the bar. They did so.
Then the desperate man pressed the
pistol against his head and sent a bullet
through his skull. He died instantly.

All We that are faint t-hearted,

Wherever mothers in the land
Mourn for their wayward sons,
Wherever wives shed bitter tears
For men that loved them once,
Wherever even children curse
The life that God hath given,
We poll that great uncounted vote
That rises up to heaven!
Aud surely as the sun shall rise
On Resurrection Day,
That vote must once outcount them all

And then in turn they'll ask themselves

Stricken by Pneumonia, Became De-
lirious and is Now in Critical
Condition
Cspeciai to The Heraldl

Ogden, Dec. "a stranger from san
francisco who registered at the Reed
hotel Thursday under the name of
Harry Stone caused a lot Of excitement
yesterday and last night. 1t was early
IN The day supposed that he was crazy.
Later the doctors said it was a bad
case OF pneumonia that brought on de-
lirlum. All day today Stone was in his
room at the Reed. and was endeavor-
ing 70 arrange for an exhibition prize
fight. He had messengers by the dozen
chasing over the town looking for
imaginary people at imaginary ad-
dresses, and of all sorts of imaginary
business.
As sample of his crazy fancies, he
sent for a photographer and placed
nlulSeu before the camera in an atti-
tude OF a pugilist, and wanted enlarged
photos made for the purpose of adver-
Using the great pugilistic event. In the
evening he left mis- room IN spite of Op-
position from nurse, and went down
town to the Broom MOTEL barber shop.
There he got into q dispute with a bar
Der and struck at him. Officers were
sent for and the man was taken back
to the hotel
DR.. Joyce made an examination, and
found that his temperature was over
lUly and that he had case of pneu-
mOnia, from which recovery is doubt
fui. Stone was taken to the hospital
and at midnight was slightly improved.
He is still in very critical condition.
Harry Stone is wei known in this
city. In an interview or Friday last he
stated he was going to Los Angeles for
his health. Mr.. Stone was the manager
OF the new athletic club that was or
ganiZe0 about two weeks ago for the
purpose OF giving prize fights during
the livestock convention. He went to
Denver to secure several fighters, in
tending to bring them back with him,
when the promoters at this end tele-
graphed him that the deal for the new
athletic club had fallen through, and
to stop negotiations at this end. OG his
return Stone stopped off at Leadville
to witness q. prize fight, was taken sick
and remained over for two days before
he was able to travel On arriving here
he was again taken sick, and had been
out of bed but two days when he start
ed for Los Angeles. Stone conducted a
pool room at the Walker House just
before election, and IS we'll known by
the sporting fraternity throughout the
western country.
