Visiting Cards In Sweden.

An old Swedish custom is for people
to indicate their business upon their
visiting cards. One will receive the
card of Lawyer Jones or Banker Smith
or Notary johnson or Music Professor
Brown or Grosserer (Which means
Wholesale merchant Ferguson or Geol-
ogist Thompson. and If man ever
held an office it is customary to indi-
cate that fact upon his card. A burgo-
master is always burgomaster, a con-
sui is always n consul and an alder
man always an alderman. The pre-
fixes Hon" and "Mr." are seldom
used, and the title, whether CONNER
cial or professional. is observed in con-
versation in the same way.
1t is customary also for ladies to
print their maiden names upon their
visiting cards in smaller type under
their married names. particularly If
they have pride of family and want
people to know their ancestry.

A Winter Evening.

The cows are munching in the shed,
The sun has slipped behind the hill
The fields are bluish-gray and still;
A saddled horse paws, at the gate,
A turkey perching on the sled
That stands beside the barn appears
To dream of others that are dead.
Up in the gable of the stable
A broken pane permits a wisp
or nay to hang out in the crisp,
Clear atmosphere, and far away
A dog is bowling as they say
Dogs howl before somebody dies
The chickens on their perches doze
And in their feathers warm their toes
And spread white films across their eyes.
The last faint little streak of red
Has faded out above the hill;
The evergreens that sighed are still;
The doctor, with a low-bowed head,
And muffied up and stern and gray,
Comes from the house and softly shuts
The door and mounts and rides away.

r. T. Greener, United States Com
mercial Agent at Vladivostock, In re
port on the resources of Manchuria,
says that 1t is one of the most fertile
countries on the globe and there Is rea-
son to believe that 1t Is richer In re-
sources than any other part of the CHI
nese empire. The gold fields, extending
more than 1,100 miles along the Argun
and Amur Rivers and 265 miles inland,
are very rich, but only partially and Inn
perfectly developed. But owing to un-
settled conditions, the country Is not
safe for foreigners ut present.
All readers of the Odyssey. at least,
must take lively interest in the theory
advocated by DR.. Tn. Zell that the one
eyed giant whom Ulysses blinded in his
cave on the slopes of Mount Etna was,
In reality, gorilla, and that the orig
inal of Homer's story was reminis-
cence of an actual encounter between
early civilized men and one of their
monstrous prehuman ancestors. This
Is In opposition to the theory of Grimm
that the story of Polyphemus Is
mythic account of the strife of the ele-
ments. The fact that gorlllas do not
now live near the Mediterranean is not
In conflict with DIR. Zell's argument, be-
cause 1t is well known that in prehis-
torlc times Europe contained many ami
mails that at present are peculiar to
Africa and other distant lands.
The wind needs to be noted to intelli-
gently observe the clouds. The east
wind Is usually certain TO bring a
storm, which in this part of the country
will last until it changes to the west.
The direction of the change, however,
has much to do with the clearing. If
the wind works around to the west by
way of the north, clearing weather is
not to be expected. This is what the
sailors call backing round" When it
works around to the west by way of
the south the storm is over. The south
wind sometimes brings rain, but this
depends good deal upon the season.
1t will do it more often in winter than
In summer. The west wind is usually
dry wind, except when it brings thun-
der showers, which commonly an
nounce themselves without waiting for
introductions.

rank and station. So effigies were in
troduced upon the surface of the slabs
and were carved fiat, but ere fifty
years had passed away the art of the
sculptor produced magnificent monu-
mental effigies. Knights and mobiles
lie clad In armor with their ladies by
their sides, bishops and abbots bless
the spectators with their upllfted right
hands, judges lie in their official garb
and merchants with the emblems of
their trade. At their feet lie animals,
usually having some heraldic connec-
tion with the deceased or symbolicai

den down beneath the feet of a bishop.

1t takes a lively imagination to con
iure up such bogy at this time There
is in fact, no tariff issue except as it is
involved in the policy OF reciprocity, so
strongly urged by President Mckinley
Just before his death, and in the prop
osition to remove the duties from trust

cheaply abroad than to our own people.

face of the admitted fact that the ex-
port prices of our manufactures are
about twenty-five per cent less than the
prices charged in the American market
it is self-evident that some at least of
our industries have outgrown the need
of protection. and can now stand securely
alone There is no proposition for tariff
reform which in the remotest way
threatens the countrys industrial sys-

My Judgment was that the Nevada
silver movement in 1892 was premature; ;
but however that may have been | never
had a moments doubt as to where the
State should stand in 1896, nor have |
a doubt as to its political duty now. The
Republican party has not only abandoned
bimetallism, but it has virtually dis
carded the Declaration of Independence,
torn the Constitution into shreds. and
made itself the subservient ally of the
trusts. With every passing day it has
drifted farther and farther from the
lofty ideals upon which it was founded,
until the Repubicanism of Mark Hanna
bears about as much resemblance to that
of Abraham Lincoln as Brahmanism does
to Christianity. Such is the political
situation to-day with all of its signs so
plainly written that he who runs may
read.

DOMINATED BY MONEY POWER.

The course of the Republican party
upon the money question shows that it
is completely dominated by the great
financial influences, and this cireum-
stance affects its action upon every other
economic question. 1t is at this time
difficult to imagine anything in the way
of legislation which the Republican
leaders, or the most of them, are not
willing to grant at the behest of the
banks and the trusts. They may not
grant it all at once A few of them will
make a show of holding something back
but in the end they will yield entirely
to the demands.

DEMOCRATIC SILVER SENTIMENT.

1t is perfectly apparent that whatever
try at this time is to be found in the
ranks of the Democratic party and its
allies The platform declarations of
these parties are still their accepted
creed, and even though interest in the
question has waned and new issues have
arisen, the fact remains that the great
bulk of the Democrats in public life
would vote for the free coinage of silver
without moments hesitation, while
upon this question the position OF the
Republican party is infinitely worse than
it was in 1896.
Therefore, it is to me incomprehen-
sible political philosophy which now
carries any sincere silver man, and par
ticularly one from Nevada, into the
ranks of the Republican party. That
party is the more to be condemned in
its present attitude because it was not
assumed as a matter of earnest convic-
party slid to the support of the gold
standard while vehemently protesting
its undying fidelity to bimetallism. 1t
is doubtful if a majority of the rank
and file of the organization ever had
am idea that they were in favor of the
gold standard until they suddenly learn
ed from their platforms that its main
tenance was fundamental article of
their party creed.
The simple and obvious truth is that
the great moneyed interests have con-
trolled the leaders of the party, and
the masses have obediently followed the
leaders, being held to their allegiance
mainly by fervid appeals based upon the
past glories of Republicanism

ATTITUDE OF SILVER REPUBLI-
CAMS

In the advocacy of free coinage the
| Republicans of the Mountain States took
the lead and when the break came i'll
| 1896, they left their party almost in Il
body. Some of them have since re-
turned to it, and why they have done
so has never been explained to my salts
| faction. If it be urged that silver is a
dead issue, IA good and sufficient answer
is that the Republican party killed it;
| and while a forgiving spirit is. in itself,
a quality to be admired, when we carry
it so far as to embrace and fondle those
who have given the death blow to our
dearest political hopes it conveys the
virtue. In this connection it should be
remembered that in killing the silver
ISSUE the Republican party never
fought in the open, but always under
cover, pretending to be for bimetallism
while sliding constantly toward the gold
standard, all the while casting the amen
tiles of political debate to the winds
and characterizing the advocates of free
coinage either as hair Drained fanatics
or as unprincipled knaves bent on
swindling the widow and the orphan with
dishonest dollars.
But further. No man who left the
party on the silver issue, is justified in
returning upon the theory that the issue
is dead for the reason that he cannot
know to certainty that it is dead. 1t
may be only sleeping, and when those
who have heretofore been its foremost
champions, go over bodily to the enemy
the effect may easily be to convert what
is merely sleep into actual death. 1t
may be true that the issue is not i'm
mediately pressing, and that with the
improved business conditions resulting
from the enlarged output of gold, less
interest is felt in the question now than
formerly. Nevertheless, it is also fact
that conditions may change again, and
in such manner as once more to bring
up the issue with greater intensity than
ever. Nothing is much more uncertain
than the worlds future gold supply and
the money question is not one of day,
or year. but of all time.
