"v1sIBLE" SPEECH CLUB.
Seeks TO Intcrprc, sound ana Secure
Elegance and Cease
of Speech.


If you want to learn the true inward.
ness of donkey's bray. or an old man s
snore, or if you feel solpe curiosity as
to the scientific construction of a kiss
or sneeze, join the Visible Speech
club.
This organization held its first seance
the other day at the Berkeley Lyceum,
New York city. and for un hour and a
half fashionable membership strug.
gled with the curves ard lines which,
according to the theories involved, the
donkey shares equally with man in his
vocal gymnastics.
The club has for it's ain object ele-
gance and ease of speech, and the BAN
ishing of all fat and unlovely pro.
nunciations. Miss Mary S. Thompson,
eader of the club, says :he Americans
use their lips too much. She is willing
to admit, also, that on, RS are way
ward. and constantly rutl amuck.
Visible" speech has been associated
solely with the deaf mute Miss Thomp-
son explained; that it applies equally
to all humanity. 1t simply means a
definite position of the vocal organs
for any given sound Prof. Alexander
Melville Bell gave an exposition of the
symbols of visible speech.

The rntentton Not Fulalled.

The ship subsidy bill is intended, ac-
cording to the claims Of its advocates,
to promote the creation of an American
merchant marine, built in America,
owned In America, manned by Ameri-
cans, and carrying American products.
1t will not do any Of these things, and
the pretense that 1t will Is hollow. A
large proportion of the ships to which
subsidies will go under the bill are, as
we have pointed out, to be foreign
built. None Of the ships needs be own
ed entirely by Americans. There is no
adequate requirement that even frac-
ton Of the crew need be Americans.
BY far the larger part of the subsidies
will go to ships that do not and cannot
carry any considerable amount Of
freight, 1t is as absolute and shame
less piece Of special legislation for
the benefit Of small number of rich
persons at the expense Of the treasury
and the taxpayers as was ever devised,
and 1t Is decidedly worse than any
thing that has ever been undertaken By
congress.-New York Times.

JOKE ON A GERMAN DIPLOMAT.
An Amusing Story About Count RIA.
dolin, the New Ambassadors
to France.

In drawing-room where the con-
versation turned the other night on
the successor of Prince Munster Won
Bernburg as German ambassador in
Paris diplomat, who has been his col.
league in st. Petersburg, told the fol.
lowing anecdote:
Prince Radolin, although man OF
much good sense, has the reputation OF
being somewhat self-conscious. One
OF his friends, who had known him as
Count Radolinsky, name which he
bore until the reign of Frederick Ill,
accosted him one day with "Good day,
Radolinsky!"
"Radolin!" corrected the prince,
somewhat tartly.
Two years later the same friend met
the German ambassador again and,
holding out his hand, saids
"Ah, good day, Rado!'
And, as the prince allowed his sur.
prise to be visible, he added: Doesn't
your name lose syllable year,"

The Crimes Of shortsighted Com
mercialisrn.

The two nations that speak the
English tongue and boosted their SUI
periority over all Others present in If
reconcilable contrast the noble and
the ign1ble, the good and the bad in a
superlative degree. The nation that
gave to the world = Milton md a
Shakespeare and whose history is re-
plete with honored names whose lives
were dedicated to liberty, is engaged
in foul brutal and murderous war
against the rights and liberties of the
unoffending and heroic Beers of Africa
in which intellect and the products of
science and invention merely augment
and intensity the savagery of their
work.
The United States, the one great
free Republic Of earth, founded by
Washington and Jefferson, the land of
churches and schools, which during
the century that has just passed has
outstripped all nations in recorded
history in everything that adds dig
nifty to man. and has distanced all
competi in material development
is now sending armies seven thousand
miles from home and numbering thou
sands of people whose only offense is
an unwiIlingness to accept the yoke of
a foreign invader.
Neither the people of England nor
the people Of America indorse the
crimes of their governments. But in
both nations conscience crouches ano
covers before the aggression and vi
olence of criminal and shortsighted
commercialism. RATIONAL Waterman

The ouantitlve Theory Of Money.

Present conditions afford ample
proof of the correctness of the quanta
tive money theory. During the clos
ing years of Cleveland's last term a!
president he brought about, with the
assistance of most Of the republican
members Of congress, a shortage ii
the country's money or circulating
medium. The presidents fnancia
advisers and supporters were strong
advocates OF the qualitiye theory
They were scarce money disciples
they wanted gold as the standard and
gold as the only actual money Of the
country. They even went so far as tc
entirely stop the coinage of standard
silver dollars and that at time when
the country was sorely in need of al.
most any kind of money with which
to transact it's ordinary business.
AS a result of Clevelands scarce
money propaganda nearly every bust
ness interest of the country anguish
ed, and under that cloud the demo-
Gratis, although supporting the correct
theory, went down to defeat in 1896.
The hard times came under demo-
cratic president, and that was as far
as many voters carried their investi-
cations. They knew that they were
being pinched, and that man whom
the democrats had elected was the ma.
tion's chief executive. They did not
go further and exonerate the democra-
tic party from blame and charge the
cause of their trouble to the real Of
tenders, namely: the republican SEN
ators and representatives who were
helping to sustain Cleveland's vetoes
OF democratic measures.
The republicans came into power as
champions of Cleveland's scarce mon
ey principles, and as long as they ad-
hered to that policy the times did not
improve. The first year of McKinley's
administration was as bad as Cleve-
lands last year. Then agreat change
was instituted. The republicans in
congress, who had upheld Cleveland
in his refusal to allow the coinage of
the silver scigniorage, turned around
and reversed themselves under Nc
Kinley. and during the past year more
than $4,000, 900 per month of silver al
the ratio of IL to l, has been coined
by the United States minis. And
great gold fields have been discovered,
something by the way the republicans
did not promise, and the coinage of
gold has increased beyond all reason
able expectation. The entire force of
the administration has been used to |
increase the country's money supply. |
No administration, man has carped
for gold and e-otd only, and as result |

and the result has been general rise

long as the poison remains in the blood

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
