I _ The wage-earners of Colorqdo take a very practical view of the free silver coinage issue. it means, as they have been told by all who own silver that with free coinage they would expect to get $1 29 for silver that is now worth 66 cents in the, mar- kets of the world. The workingmen of Colorado are probably not averse to theItree coinage of silver, if they can be assured that they will obtain their share of the swag. A. committee of wage-earners among - the silver miners of that State have carefully considered the subject and is- sued the following terse inquiry ad- dressed to the workingmen of Colorado; “The silver miners of your State ask for free coinage at 16 to 1. If they succeed, their silver, which is now 66 cents an ounce, will ju’mp to $1.29—a clear profit of 85 per cent. in legal tender currency. Now where do you come in? Before you vote for free silver com- pel your employers to guarantee that you shall have your fair share of the profits. If they gain 85 per cent. your wages should advance 85 per cent. also. _ Insist upon your rights while you are able! ” The wage-earners of Colorado take the practical view of the question, that if the government is to increase the market value of silver eighty-five per cent. for the benefit of mine owners and silver producers, the workingmen engaged inIthat industry should have a fair share of the profit. They demand it because the mine owners claim that they will have the profit, and as the ' wage-earners must vote that profit to them, it is only fair that the wage-earn- ers should share it with the small class that is to gain by the arbitrary advance in values, many of whom are foreigners interested in our large mining oper- ations. I That the silver producers expect to haveInthe price of silver largely ad-I vanced by the election of Bryan is .not disputed, and Mr. Bryan himself has declared, in his carefully prepared speech delivered in New York, that the free coinage of silver would advance silver bullion to 81 29 per ounce, and thus make it equal with gold. This would give the owners and producers of silver bullion a profit of eighty-five per cent. over the present market value of their product. The issue raised by the wage-earners of. Colorado is just as vital an issue with every wage-earner of the United States. ‘ O. Nansen and the Fram. There will be universal gratification at the safe arrival of the Fram from her Arctic voyage with all on board safe. The rej )icing over Nansen’s safety will be given a keener relish with the knowl- edge that the ship in 'which he sailed and drifted in the Arctic ice pack has returned safe and sound, and that the latest A'e ic expedition, while not suc; cessful in the sense of having reached the North .Pole, has not resulted in any fatalities orperious accidents. The dis- appointment over the failure of- the Fran: and its plucky officers, explorers and crew to find what they were look- ing for, will be borne bv the gen ral ' public without a murmur, and as there will be no lost explorers to be mourned the general verdict on the voyage of the Fram will be that it has been a greater success than most Arctic voy- ages. ‘ 1 The average man does’not take any He doesn’t believe the game worth the can; dle. Infect, he doesn’t believe the Pole will ever be reached by human beings, and he is quite certain that the achievement would be an empty one if it °should ever bei'reached.- But the average man is human, and when a lot. of plucky people go off on a new Arctic voyage ,he is glad'to hear that they are back home, safe and sound, This ae- 'hounts for the universal interest in the safe homecoming of Nansen and the From. . tic, exploration outnumber the believ- They understand what . bowel com laint. r The skeptics as to “further Arc: are ten to one, but the skeptics are just as glad as the believers that the latest voyagcrs have sufi‘ered no loss. Nansen’ s small measure of success and his good luck in getting home safe and soundwill be likely to inspire him tr; another attempt. The search for the Notth Pole becomes a sort of a mania with those who are hardy enough to ' make the first attemp‘ , from which they never recover until they. are dead or too old to withstand the hardships of more Arctic voyages. Nansen has not jeached that period yet, and the public are likely to be given another chance to be in sympathetic suspense over his probable fate for two or three years. Hillls Renomination Assured. -It is not necessary for any one to “wake the tom-john or sound the how- gag, ” in order to ensure Hon. E. J. Hill’s renomination. That, like the school boy’s whistle, will. “goitself.” But the Republican electors and friends of sound'mo‘n‘ey and protection to our laboring interests, should exert'them- selves to the utmost, in sending him back to Congress from this great manna ' facturing district by a largely increased maj Jrity after he is renominated. The town of Westpott‘ and the city of Bridgeport, have made this Con- gressional district distinctly and largely democratic, I in ordinary conditions. These are extraordinary conditions now prevailing and there should be no ques- tion about Hill’s return this fall by a more overwhelming mej arity than two years ago. , If "Hess, SIS, TAKE THIS." Chlvalous Art of a Small Vendor of Chicago Papers. It was late one afternoon during the muddy, slushy weather of two or three weeks ago that a little newsgirl, while crossing La Salle street at .Madison slipped and fell and the dozen or more papers which she carried in her arms were scattered broadcast in the muddy street. They were ruined beyond the possibility of hope, and, as she contem- plated the disaster, which had so sud- denly [befallenI her, she began to weep. She presented the veriest picture of misfortune as stood thus. her poet, bedraggled skirt: clinging close about her, while with her little mud stained hands she sought to wipe away the tears which coursed down her cheeks. Sev- eral curious people stopped and asked her what the matter was, but great choking sobs swallowed up every efiort at reply. One benevolent and prosperous look ing man patted her on the head in a fatherly wayand even felt in his poc- ket for a coin which he.thought would measure the extent of her misfortune, but he evidently didn’t find it,-for he passed along in a moment without giv- ing her anything. Just at this moment a small, dir y, ragged newsboy drew near, and seeing the girl crying, stopped and surveyed her intently for a moment, and then approaching her, asked: “What’s de matter, sis?” A motion of her hand towards the papers in the street and a fresh out- burst of sobs was her reply. . “Dere ain’t no use cryin’, sis; yer didn’t lose many,’ he said, very consol- ingly. ‘ " But—me—mud — der -— will—whip me, " the girl said Ibrokenly bet ween broken sobs. “Not if you tells her how ’twas, ” he said. "‘Ya. — as ——she — will,” wailed the other, "she'll—think—I—buyed—candy with—it—an’——won’t—belie ve. me." “How many did yer lose,” he then asked. _ “ ’Leven,” she replied, her tears break ing forth anew at the mention of Ithe number. .1 . For several moments be surveyed her intently, with evidences of sympathy in his face, and then thrusting his hand into his pocket and fumbling it about for a moment he drew out a number of pennies and, slowly counting out eleven, he handed them to the girl, say- mg: - “Here, sis, take dis, it’ll square yer all right wid de ole woman. ' This unexpected act of generosity so surp1 ised the girl that she made no of tort to take advantage of it, seeing which the boy said: “Take die chink, sis, I’se got it to burn; you kin pay me back w’en ye’s flush. ” . The girl hesitated a moment and then took it, and without waiting for to be thanked. the boy turned and went down the street shouting cheerity: “Ev—e—uin’ poipers, all 'about (12 murder. ”—Chicago Tribune. Three Great Conversationallsts. Duse, who won at least part of her renown by her persistent refusal to talk, can talk very well when she so desires. Mr. Richard Watson Gilder ranks her as one of the three finest conversation alists he ever heard, Robert Louis Ste- venson and John La Forge, the painter, being the others. .4. A few years ago nearly all newspapers published, at this season, recipes for summer complaints. Now such items are seldom met with. Publishers have learned that there 15 nothing quite as Igood as Chamber- lain’ s Colic, Cholera and iarrhoea Remedy for these diseases and as it is in general use everywhere they have quit publishing these recipes. No One havin a. bottle of this remedy in the house nee fear an attack of It can always be depended upon and is pleasant and safe. For sale by E. P.
