' That splendid exemplar of Demo- cratic journalism, the Louisville Cour- ier-Journal, asks the silverites who are in the habit of claiming thateverybody, including Andrew Jackson, of any con- sequence in American history was for free silver until 1873, to explain what the great exemplar of Democracy meant in the following letter written to the Rev. A. S. McCallum in re- sponse to the present of a gold pen and pencil. The letter is dated from Wash- ington, Dec. 26, 1836: “I am obliged to you for the favora- ble manner in which you speak of some of mylate public measures, which the pure and intrinsically valuable ma- terial of the useful and beautiful pres- ent you tender gives occasion to intro- duce, as you seem to think, not inapt- ly. The useful and ornamental pur- poses to which gold can be applied are the properties that give it real value and render the demand for if un-iver-- sal. This, with other peculiar quali- tie's, has made it in all ages, through- out the world, the standard of value. There is no fraud in gold; like the hon- est principles of the founders of our government, who declare by constitu- tional provision the precious metals to be the only ‘oney of the republic, it is unchangeable, and will do its Of- fice well everywhere and at all times; no Alchemy can multiply it—no char— tered privileges can give sudden and unseen expansion or contraction to its amount. Nature has set limits and la- bor imparts an invariable value to it. It is, therefore, the true representa- tive of the principles of justice and equality which should enter into every- thing that operates on our institu- tions, and should be ever insisted on . by the industrious classes as the actual circulating medium to bring continu- ally to the test every species of credit currency, and to suppress the spurious paper” system, resting on no solid basis, and giving birth to frauds and stock gambling; which tends so much to es- trange our people from honest and useful pursuits, and our legislation from that primitive patriotism which 3was once entirely directed to foster them.” Jackson, like Benton, recognized at that early day the drift of mankind to the gold standard. Abundant evidence of this is to be found in his speeches and writings as well as in his public acts. He was as much the friend of the yellow metal as “Old Bullion” Ben~ ton himself. Cheap Mone‘y the Foo of Labor. He who tampers with the currency robs labor of its broad. Ho powders, in- deed to greedy capital, which is keen- sighted and may shift for itself; but he beggars labor, which is honest, unsuspect- ing too busy w'th the present to 'calulate for the future. The prosperity of the working classes lives, moves and has its being in established credit and a steady medium of payment. All sudden changes destroy it. Honest industry never comes in for any part of the spoils in that scram- ble, which takes place when the currency of a country is disordered. Did wild schemes and profits ever benefit the in- dustrious? Did violent fluctuations” ever do good to him who depends on his daily labor ’ for his daily bread? Certainly never. All these things may gratify greed- iness for ”sudden gain Or the rashness of daring speculation, but they can bring nothing but injury and distress to the homes of patient industry and honest la.- bor.—-Daniel Webster. CANNOT BE TOO GOOD. Sound Money Good for All Valueless If Idle. Unused money, unloaned money be- stows no more value upon its owner than an uneaten meal can give of pleasure or nutrition. A little reflection makes it plain. therefore, that the farmer and the Chicago packer, wage earner, manufacturer and capitalist are equally interested in circulating a. kind of money which,when they let go of it,wi11 buy them the most satisfaction either at home or abroad. Those who buy of the farmers the foodstuffs which they raise, and. sell the same farmers money, should understand that wise farmers desire to buy only the best money—money which, like good pork, beef and cereals, will pass current in all markets. And as there has never Alike, and been any complaint about too good- wheat, too good beef, too good pork, or too productive a farm, so there never can be, from correctly reasoning men, any complaint about too good a dol- lar, too good currency or money. A dollar with too much purchasing power is as impossible as a square meal with too much nutritive power, an acre of land with too much productive capa- city, or an advocate of Populistic schemes of finance with too much logi- cal abiiity.——Secretary J. Sterling Mor- ton. _ Revolution Proposed by Silver Democrats. The declarations of the Chicago con- vention attack individual freedom, the right of private contract, the indepen- dence of the judiciary, and the au- thority of the president to enforce fed- eral laws. They advocate a. reckless attempt to increase the price of ‘sil- ver by legislation to the debasement of our monetary standard, and threat- en unlimited issues of paper money by the government. They abandon for Republican alli’es the Democratic cause of tariff reform to court the fa- vor of protectionists to their fiscal heresy—National Democratic Platform. Tine-Tried Doctrines of Democracy. The Democratic party ever has main- tained, and ever will maintain, the supremacy of law, the‘independence of its judicial administration, the inviola- bility of contract, and the obligations of all good citizens to resist . every illegal trust, combination or attempt against the just rights of property and . the good order of society, in which are bound up the peace and happiness of ourpeople.-thional Democratic plat- form. WE E’KLY - Noem- rnissos Alli) RUSSIA. [he Termination of the Triyle Alliance “fill End the One Between Them. LONDON, Oct. 23.—The Chronicle, upop- authority which it ' believes unquestion- able,'gives the history of ' the formation and growth of the Franco-Russian alliance. “It was opened,” said »The Chronicle, ”by a military convention dated August, 1890, of which General Obrutchefl was the thief author, and which was for defensive purposes. The next important event was the visit to Toulon by the Russian fleet in October, 1893. which was followed by the actual signing of a treaty in December, 1893, the statesmen chiefly concerned be- ing M. Casimlr—Perier and M. dc Giers. It is simply a military convention with spe- cial relation to the balance of power cre- ated by the Austro-German alliance, and lapses on the day the latter alliance comes to an end. It is purely defensive and in no way aggressive, and therefore could not be used for the recovery of Alsace-Lor- raine. In fact, it is solely directed against a possible German attack, such as by Bis- marck in 1875. “The treaty has been practically put in operation by fresh codicils, dealing, first, with the scare based on the unfounded re- port that England intended tovinterfere in Morocco; second, with the China-Japanese war: third, with the Sudan expedition. In connection with the latter. we believe that France has sent two notes to England, with Russia’s approval, displaying a desire to recur to the abortive Drummond-Woli! convention of 1887, which proposed the British evacuation of Egypt and the neu- tralization of the Suez canal, but which came to nothing, owing to French opposi- tion. ” PARIS, Oct. 23. —The Grand Duke Vladi- mir on arriving in this city today received the following dispatch signed by the czar, who is at Darmstadt: “We are enjoying wall earned rest under the hospitable roof of the tyrants of Hesse. Nikky.” The French newspapers say that this telegram throws valuable light upon the condition 'of the czar’s spirits, and the newspapers add that it proves his brain is not haunted by grave considerations after talking with Emperor William of Germany at Wiesba- den. Mrs. Castle Said to Be Irresponsible. LONDON, Oct. 23. —Lewis Weill, a watch manufacturer, who is one of the sureties of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Castle of San Francisco, said today: “Dr. George Henry Savage, one of the leading English experts in mental diseases, who examined Mrs. Castle for four hours. is prepared to swear that she is not responsible. In the course of Dr. Savage’s conversation with her Mrs. Castle confessed that she had taken the things, but she could not tell why she had done so. ” A Bank President Arrested. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Wiiliam H. Geish- enen, president of the Garfield National bank, was arrested for contempt of court and taken to White Plains. The contempt consisted in not obeying Judge Dykeman'l order to produce the books of the bank in court in a suit for $2,000, said to have been deposited by one W. W. Woodward, a criminal who assigned the $2, 000 to Frank J arvis of New Rochelle. Poll Tax For the Turk. CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 23.—An irade has been issued, levying a poll tax of 6 piastres per head on all Mussulmans and increasing the taxes on sheep, public works and education by 1 to 1% per cent. These taxes, with the revenue from the five projected monopolies, will, it is esti- mated, produce £1,200,000, which will be used for military purposes. Bank Burglars’ Rich Haul. EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 23.—Rob- bers entered the Bank of Cassville at Cassville, Mo., and blew open the safe, securing the contents. The amount was large, but the bank officials refuse to give it exactly. Fatal End (if a Pleasure Trip.

Millions of people pray for deliverance from it. Every Sunday in every Episcopal church in the world, these words are said: . . “ From battle, and murder and sudden death, Good Lord, deliver us.” Just wh sudden death should be shock~ ing, and eath after lingering disease eas? to bear, would puzzle an one to tell. 2 would seem that itwoul be' more terrible to see some loved one wasting away, daily becoming weaker—daily slipping toward a death no less certain because it was slow it coming. Consumption causes more deaths than heart disease—more than cholera— more than yellow fever-rmore than any other disease the world has ever known. And yet people are careless about it. A man in danger of sudden death from heart dis- ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping quiet and avoiding excitement. Consump- tion goes right on with its deadly work, no matter what the man does or how he con- ducts himself, if he doesn’t take the right medicine to cure it. Consumption afi'ects the whole body. It is a. blood disease. It permeates the whole system. It shows in the lungs because the blood goes to the lungs for purification. It carries impurit'es there to be made pure. If there is too m h impurit'y, the lungs are over-worked——over- loaded—the impurity stops there. The germs of disease etc there. They develop and multiply and 1: en consumption takes definite form.

'THREZ CENTURIES IN.24 HOURS. (3. W. Wenzei Describes His 300 Bicycle W title Against Time. Century bicycle runs must in the future be looked upon as merely 'or- dinary performances. C. W. chzel of Philadelphia succeeded in crowd- ing three of theselhundred mile runs into a single day. And yet he be- lieves he can do better. Of his per- formance he has written: For a long time I had a desire to cover 300 miles in 24 hours, and one evening, after having in company cov- ered 175 miles, we were discussing long runs in general and our own in particular. My friends were all pretty well exhausted, but I did not feel at all tired, and said: “Some day I will ride 300 miles, on a triple century, for exercise, provided my wheel will stand it.” My weight was 210 pounds, but"! did not think that would in any way interfere with my making 300 miles in 24 hours or less, and subsequent events showed that I was right. Be~ ing an amateur, I could not accept the $100 wager, but a friend of mine did, and I agreed to make the at-_ tempt. ‘ It was agreed that the first clear day when there was a full moon at night should be chosen for the attempt, the course to be part of the Century Wheelmen’s South Jersey -century course. Another stipulation was that there should be no training for the run. We went to .Vineland, N. J., Where we were to make our head- quarters. The condition of the weath- er and the roads was not in any re- spect what could be desired. but I decided to make the start, hoping that the mud on the roads would dry and the wind, which .was blowing a gale, would go down. It was agreed that I should have a fresh pacemaker at every 25 miles, and in case of accident to my own wheel I was to take his. This, how- ever, proved an unnecessary precau- tion, as my wheel stood the run in excellent shape, and was as good at the finish as it was at the start. The start was made at half past 8 o’clock on the morning of July 25. The first few miles were made in much slower time than I anticipated, otving to the heavy condition of the roads. The strong wind also was against me, but I decided to keep on, and at half past 3 o’clock in the af- ternoon, or seven hours after starting, I had covered my first century. Early in .the day I received a num- ber of falls, owing to the bad condi- tion of the roads. At the end of the first 100 miles I did not feel at all fa- tigued. I discarded the wet sponge, which so many long distance riders use to strap over their nostrils when riding, and in place of it kept a cough, ’7 '- I- get * one tumble which gave me a sprainedxé» knee. This was very troublesome (0.35". me during the rest of the run. l'x- . 2' tablet in my mouth constantly. At half past 11 o’clock I had 11n- ished my second century, having made . , it in eight hours, which I call pretty fair work, considering my injured knee. ‘ When I completed the third century vwc had been away from the hotel iii .Vineland 21 hours and 7 minutes. Two hours were occupied in eating and de lays. .When the run was finished I was well rubbed down and given a bath. I slept two hours, and then awoke without any aches or pains. It is now my ambition to break the world’s 24 hour record of 350 miles, Which is held by an Englishman. Un- der favorable conditions I believe I can do this, and besides holding such ‘ a record it will be ‘a pleasure to me from the fact that I am not a racing man. Before the Bar. The other day an Irishman, who was charged ‘with being drunk and disorderly, nearly drove a magistrate mad. The following colloquy took place between the two: Magistrate—Will you sign the pledge if I let you off this time? Prisoner—Shure, Oi can’t wroite, yer honor. Magistrate-But you can make ‘a. mark. Prisoner—Phwat koind av a mark, yer honor? Magistrate (testily)——A cross, man-o a cross! Prisoner—Across phwat, yer honor?‘ Magistrate— (out of all patience)— Ten shillings and costs, or seven days' hard labor! Prisoner (aghast)-Tin. shillins an’ c0stsl_ Shure, Oi haven’t cost any— wan anything, yer honor; Oi paid fer all me drinks. I Magistrate (severely)—Stand down, sir—stand down! Prisoner—Oi always shtand up whin Oi shtand at all. Is it sit down yer honor wanes? Then the jailer took the prisoner in ‘ hand, and the magistrate mopped his moist brow.—Exchange. Outdoor work Preferred. .. ' Some years ago a young Irishman was hunting for work among the far- mers of a western town at harvest time. ‘ - He made his application to a benev- olent looking , farmer, who was at- tracted by the young man’s frank, merry face, but who was not really in need of extra help. “Can you cradle?” he asked, after a moment’s hesitationu “Cradle is it?’ ’repeated the-young Irishman in bewilderment. “That Oi can, sorr, bein’ the owldest of elivin childer; but,” he added, persuasively, “can’t yez give me a job out av dures, sort?" The Objectionable Feature. “Don’t you think there should be music in every home?” - “By all means; what I object to is music next door.” . ‘ " " “Li“. ,1 t" \ gr
