SIXTEEN TO ONE.
WHAT THIS MEANS IN THE DISCUS‘
SIGNS OF yous CURRENCY.
Gold Men Want a Dollar that is Good the
World Over, While the Silver Men De-
sire the White Metal Raised to a Stand-
ard that Cannot be Maintained.
Sixteen to one simply means that six-
teen ounces of silver shall be equal in
coinage value to one ounce of gold;that
sixteen times the weight of silver shall
be equal to one of gold. As a matter of
fact, however, there is no demand for
coinage at the ratio of sixteen to one.
The demand is for the coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio prevailing in
1878, and which prevailed in all of our
standard silver dollars, and that is 15.-
989 to one. In other words, the gold
dollar of to- day weighs 25.8 grains, and
the silver dollar weighs 15.989 times
25.8 grains or 412.5 grains, as nearly as
it is practical to figure. That is all there
is of it; it simply means that the silver
dollar shall weigh in round numbers
“ sixteen times as much as a gold dollar,
and each shall discharge all of the func-
tions of money; that at this ratio each
shall be equally valuable in the pay-
ment of debts or in the exchange of
This the gold standard
people claim is impossible, since the
present ratio is about 3.2 to 1, and is es—
tablished upon the money basis of other
countries with whom we have rela-
tions. ' .
The silverites hold that as the relative
production of gold and silver has about
nineteen to one, the action of the great
commercial nations in discarding silver
has thrown all the burden upon gold,
and it has doubled in its relative value
as measured by silver. They say, re«
store silver, relieve gold of this abnor-
mal demand, and the parity of the met-
als will be found at about sixteen to
one, and there will then be money
enough in the world to enable the peo-
ple to resume their work of develop-
ment upon an equitable basis.
THE SCORCHER’S SOLILOQUY.
He Believes the Whole World Was Z'Eade
for Him.
Ting-a-ling! Ting-a-ling!
Get out of the way, there.
“By George! That was a close call
for that woman—and ”for me! I don’t
see what people are thinking of. They
walk out into the street just as if they
had a right to be there, and some one is
always trying to cross just as I want to
turn a corner. There ought to be a law
against it—a law that would compel
pedestrians to remain on the sidewalks,
where they would not be in the way of
those who really have the right in the
streets.
Look out! Hi, there!
Confound it all! Children ought to
be chained in their parents’ yards.
They are always getting in the way, and
yet there would be an awful roar if I
should run over one. No one would
stop to think that they were encroach-
ing on my rights, and I would probably
go to jail. That shows the injustice
and favoritism .of our social system.
Here am I, a. wheelman of some impor-
tance in the cycling world, actually
compelled to moderate my speed and
run with card and caution less Irun
over some child that has been sent to
the corner to buy a cake of yeast, or
some woman who is trying to usurp my
rights by crossing the streets, it is out-
rageous, preposterous——
Hi! Hi! Ting-aling!
Great Scott! That old lady came
near being obliged to turn a double
somersault. She’d ought to have_known
that I would want to turn that corner,
but, of course, old people are inclined to
be a little slow-witted sometimes.
That’s 'why they should be kept ofif the
the street. As a matter of fact, streets
ought to be tunneled or bridged at every
corner. That is the only way in which
wheelman can be protected in their
rights, the only way pedestrians can be
forced to—-—-
Ting-a. ling!
Clang!
Jumping Jupiter! but that was a.
close one! That‘s what comes of giv-
ing the streets over to the tender mercy
of trolley companies. I almost disputed
the right of way with that car, and it
never pays. I don’t see why they are
permitted in the streets, anyway. They
have absolutely no respect——for the
rights of others, and should be barred
for all time. They’re a. source of con-
stant danger to wheelman, and that is
enough to—
Hi! mister, do you think you own
this road? Get your old buggy out of
the way! It takes up the space of two
bicycles. -
It’s an outrage that people with wag-
ons and carriages should be permitted
to use the paved streets and get in the
way of byclists. It ought never to be
permitted. Let them take the unpaved
streets, if they must go out, where they
won’t be a menace to those who have
the first claim to the paved streets. I
wonder if we couldn’t get the Council
to pass some such law as that. It’s
worth trying anyway. I’ll bring it up
at the next meeting of our club.

A Dry Town’s Liquor Income.
' Though it has by vote of the county
under local option law been legally dry
for five years, sells more liquor than
any town in the State. Dozens of
splendidly furnished saloons and gam-
bling rooms run wide open, the proprie-
tors being arrested and fined $100 and
costs on the first of each month. From
this revenue all the town’s streets have
been paved. water-works bfiilt, electric-
light system established, and metropoli-
tan police maintained.

LADY DOUGLAS. ACTRESS.
Lord Sholto's Bride Appears at Tony Pal-
tor’s New York Theatre.
The variety stage is about to be dig;
nified by the appearance of an Ameri-
can girl with a real English title. It is
one which has seen its ups and downs,
its warriors and gentlemen of purely
professional leisure, but Lady Sholto
Douglas is as much entitled to her titu-
lar distinction as was Lady Vere do
Vere herself. .
It don’t make any difference, either,
when she appears at Tony Pastor's,
save to make the ghost walk with a
heavier tread when he approaches her
dressing room door, and as for being a
possessor of that distinction which doth
hedge in a title, Lady Sholto is culti-
vating it to such a degree that in Chi-
cago, where she was most recently, the
jeunesse dore have made all sorts of
rash ventures for the purpose of secur-
ing more or less valuable souvenirs of
her personality. In fact it is said that
the gas guard in her dressing room 'has
already been broken up, the pieces have
been gold plated and are used for tooth-
picks and bracelets at chafing dish
parties.
LADY DOUGLAS.
When Loretta Addis, a music hall
performer, married Lord Sholto, there
was a very lively time in the bride- __
groom’s family, and the young man
was, figuratively speaking, “riding on a
bar,” but it is no American girl at all
who cannot at a pinch turn to and sup-
port an English husband. So Loretta‘
rolled up her sleeves and pitched in, l
and after lots of hard work, which her
title did not save her, she and her hus-
band are in receipt of an excellent in-
come from their own endeavors, and
they are able to hold their noses high in
the air, just as though they wore head
dresses with pearls on the points all day
long. Lord Douglas is said to believe
that though his acquaintance with
Loretta Addis was only for three weeks
before the marriage, his union with the
young San Franciscan was about the
best thing he ever did in his life, and
he has utterly disavowed the intention
of submitting to any rules which his 110«
ble father, the Marquis of Queensbury,
formulated in the past or is likely to
make in the future.
Seward’s Comprehensive Mind.
Probably in the Administration Mr.
Seward had the most cultivated and
comprehensive intellect. He wasn’t
equal to Mr. Lincoln, because, as I
have said, he was altogether an opti-
mist. He didn’t believe any permanent
injury could happen to anybody as long
as the Stars and Stripes were there.
During the war it was always said that
he expected to bring back the seceding
States by a friendly act of Congress, or
some device of negotiation. That was
probably a fault in his judgment; yet,
take him for all in all, it would be dif-
ficult to match him among living states-
men, or among the statesmen of the
world. '
He was an American in earnest. He
believed in that democracy which is
democracy indeed. He believed in the
Constitution of the United States, and
his one desire was that its blessings
should be extended and made perpetual
over all this continent. I look back
upon him with intense gratitude. He
set up the landmarks toward which we
are to come, the boundaries "which we
are to attain to. He proclaimed the
principle of continental unity, and that
unity he would found in freedom, in
progress, and in improvement of every
nature—Hon. C. A. Dana.

He Enlisted in the Army as a Private and
is Now Brevet-nlaj or.
When the war came McKinley join
ed the army as a. private soldier. He it
in the first of that grade ever named for,
the Presidency. You will have the po
etry of the canvass. It will be heard
when your ’orators talk about the grand
army raising the private soldier upon
their shields to be Caesar indeed.
The Republic has not been negligent
in its recognition of military services.
Washington, Monroe, Jackson, the two
Harrisons, Pierce. Grant, Hayes and
Garfield were soldiers. The Democrats
strove toIhonor McClellan and Hancock.
These gentlemen were all ofiicers. In
McKinley we have the private soldier.
developed into the modest rank of Cap-
lain.
Iiis brevet as major came a month be-
fore Lee’s surrender, and he was mus-
tered out three months later, a mere
boy returning honorably home after
. four years of war. In all of which there
is much to attract those who cherish
war memories. ‘
For if our modest Major by brevet
did not, like Washington, thwart the
purposes of a vast empire or defeat the
veterans of Wellington, like Jackson, or
accept the surrender of Lee, like Grant,
yet he marched shoulder ’to shoulder
and drank from the same canteen, was
in the ranks and it will be “Whoop her
up again, boys,” and give us the same
old song in ten thousand camp fire:
from now until November.
Therefore McKinley will take with
him into the campaign the imagination
of war. As the years go on this is 6};
ing away. Time rapidly takes from us
its roses and romance. Yet what re-
mains is precious, even as one of the
legendary perfumes whose aroma the
ages cannot destroy.
This will. be to the gain of McKinley.
Then we have his civic career. Leaving
the army at 22 a brevet major, with a
downless face, he took to law. entered
an Albany law school and returned at
twenty four to seek his fortunes in
Canton.
The Major preferred politics to law,
and his career bears a resemblance to
that of President Cleveland. The
country was Democratic. He ran in his
27th year for District Attorney, mere-
ly as a compliment to his party and to
preserve the organization. Somehow
he was elected. He was touched by the
finger of fate, as he has been so often
touched since. With this success came a
marriage which has rested upon him as
a consecration.
In 1876 McKinley won his Congres
sicnal advancement. He found await-
ing him in the House Sherman and
Garfield, Thurman and Foster.
Randall was Speaker, and the young
Buckeye was dumped into a committee
for revising the laws, there to await
until his beard had grown. He listened
rather than talked, which is the McKin-
ley habit, as a. rule, and upon his re-
election to Congress was advanced to
the Judiciary Committee.- The next
session he was on the Ways and Means.
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, Chairman Kas-
son, Hubbell, Randall, Tucker and Car-
lisle were among his colleagues.
Beaten in the Forty eighth Congress
through a contest, elected again, Mr.
Carlisle as Speaker, reappoir ted him on
Virus and Means, with Morri .on, Mills.
McMillan, the two Breckenridges, Kel
ley, Hiscock and Reed as colleagues.
Here he won fame as the antagonist of
the Morrison horizontal tarilf bill, and
upon returning to Congress in 1888, the
Republicans then having the House, he
became Chairman of the Ways and
Means. This came as the outcome of
an effort to elect McKinley Speaker.
Reed defeated him, and named him, as
a kind of consolation purse, Chairman
of Ways and Means, giving him among
his colleagues Burrows, Dingley, Payne.
of New York; Gear, of Ohio; Carlisle
and Mills, of Texas; and McMillin, C.
R. Breckinridge and Flower, of New
York.
This selection of McKinley cost Reed
the Presidency. In all this Congres-
sional career one notes steady advance-
ment. The young member rose until
he became leader of the House. From
thence to the Governorship was a step,
and this office he held for two terms.
The New Woman Shoots.
A Jersey City woman on finding that
there were two burglars in the house,
stationed herself at a window and fired
three shots at them as they fled out of
the front door. It is no longer the fash-
ion for women to faint, or go into hys-
teri s when the midnight marauder
breaks in to rob and steal. She is
a more positive danger to the lawless
than even the men of the family. In
fact, it doesn’t matter much whether
the latter are at home or not. This
thing has a political bearing. Some
time ago an opponent of woman‘s suf-
frage held that only those who were
able to bear arms ought to have the
right to exercise the suffrage. Now,
when it is necessary to do this very
thing, the new woman is equal to the
emeigency. Besides, the individual
who, alone and unaided, is prepared to
rush to arms in defense of her home,
is really more heroic than he who sim-
;:-lj.' gets into the ranks with a host of
._.:hers. The army theory on the sur-
.';.ce is not conclusive.

that it fits like a glove

not). It presses the sen~
