charged for having opinions counter to those of the Republican party. Having been given the usual months notice, he decided upon cold-blooded revenge upon the imperial eagle of Mckinley. He was working on the new plates for the $1o bill, and by a delft handling of the lights and shadows of the eagle he produced the jackass. From an artistic point of view lis work is excellent. The head and neck of the eagle. which has a peculiar left twist, furnishes the head of the jack. The light shading at the base of the wing be- comes a perfect eye from the other view point. The thighs of the eagle form the ears of the jack.

ure which will keep silver at parity

eral bills making silver dollars re-
deemable in gold at the option OF the
holder are now before the commit
tees of one or other brapch Of con

IT seems that the democratic mem

TO be he'd until after the opinion OF

Bryan would be entirely correct in

standard permanent in the United

purposes Of the men who are pushing

partisan lines ON the measure Every
