A Look Ahead.
Our national currency system is still
in a highly unnsatisfactory condition,
and all friends of monetary reform
should unite in bringing their influence
to bear upon congress next winter to
secure some positive constructive legis-
lation ‘to cure the evils which they all
recognize as existing. Whatever meas-
ure is brought forward to simplify the
paper circulation, to fortify the gold
standard, upon which all our paper and
silver issues rest, and to improve our
national banking system by authorizing
branch banks and giving the feature of
elasticity to bank circulation, will be
pretty sure to be antagonized by all the
motley forces of cheap money—silver
men as well as paper fiatists.
On this question I believe parties will
On
one side the platform will be govern-
ment paper money and plenty of it to
stimulate business and start a new era
of speculation. On the other side it
will be that all paper currency should
be issued by sound banks under govern-
ment supervision, and its amount
should depend on business needs, which
vary from mouth to month, with the
check on overissues by the bankers
themselves to avoid insolvency.
The light between sound and unsound
money theories will be‘ a hard one, and
the' wrong side may win at first, with
much resulting calamity to our business
interests, but I do not see how the con—
test can be avoided. We must retire the
greenbacks and we must have a better
system of bank issues before we can get
our currency affairs upon a safe basis. "
It seems to me that the first duty of
the friends of sound money in prepar—
ing to make the contest that seems inev~
itable is to continue the process of edu-
cating the public mind which was be-
gun last year. -—E. V. Smalley in Chi-
cago Times-Herald.
Gold Basis For Mexico.
A recent dispatch from Mexico con-
veys the information that Mexico is
about to take what are considered the
first steps toward a gold basis. It is
said that the recent great fall in the
price of silver has been a wonderful and
costly object lesson to Mexico and other
nations using silver as the standard of
value.
Mexico produces considerable gold,
but it goes to other countries where it
is more appreciated. Mexico now pro-
poses to put an export duty on gold. it
is argued that this will keep her gold'
at home and make it easy for her to
adopt a gold standard in a few years, It
is also proposed to exempt gold miners
from “every form of federal, state and
municipal taxation. "
Another dispatch says that “it is un-
derstood that the next step will be the
depositing of gold in the federal treas-
ury, the government to pay therefor in
silver dollars at the current rate of ex-
change on the day the deposit is made. "
It is argued that this plan would ac-
cumulate a gold fund from which in
terest payments would be met and
would also make it easy to change the
basis. It ‘is also stated that Mexico’s
cabinet proposes, to bring about the
gradual adoption of the gold standard
so as not to shock trade. ,
In view of the above facts our silver
statesmen show great discretion in re-
training from visiting Mexico.
Boies' New Silvé‘r Scheme.
To cover his complete abandonment
of the failing cause of free silver coin-
age ex-(iovernor Boies of lovva has
pushed to the front the storage ware-
house scheme of government silver pur—
chases, evolved by Secretary Windom
in 1889. but quickly abandoned as pur-
impracticable by both
friends and enemies of silver coinage in
congress By this scheme silverbullion
is to be deposited in the treasury and
market value certificates issued on it,
redeemable on presentation in bullion
at the later market rate. No silver is to
be coined, and bullion is merely to be
dealt in speculatively as an out and out
commodity To what a trivial and
shrunken compass has the ex-governor
of Iowa reduced the all embracing sil-
ver programme of -1896! ‘Such heresy
can be little less odious in the eyes of,
the true believer than an actual con
donation of the “crime of 1873 "—New

-Lorimore (N D ) Pioneer '
A Universal Gold Standard.
Director of the Mint R. E. Preston
is said to have predicted that within 15
years every nation in the world will be
using the gold basis for its financial
system. He thinks Mexico will be the
next important nation to fall into line
for gold. Fifteen years is a short period
of time with oriental nations, but it
may be sufficient time even for China
to accept the inevitable. As the dangers
of a silver standard become more and
more apparent nations are almost fall—
ing over each other to get to a gold ba-
era.
It is probable that more nations will
adopt the gold standard this ye'ar than
have ever before adopted it in any one
year. Japan, Salvador, British Hondu—
ras, Costa Rica and Peru are some of
the countries that have this year either
adopted the gold standard or started the
process of adoption. Nicaragua and In-
dia may also join the gold procession
this year. Commenting upon Director
Preston’s prediction, the New York
Journal of Commerce says:
"The nations of the world are too
closely connected by the ties of com-
merce new to maintain different and es-
peciallydiffering standards. Commerce
has wiped out boundary lines. The
steamship and the telegraph and 5 cent
letter postage, we may add, and'the in-g
creasing means of the people of' every
country to buy the products of other
countries and the increasing demands
of the manufacturers of every land for
materials from other lands have alto-
gether brought the nations of the world
into a single market. While their re-
spective moneys bore an unchanged re-
lation to each other it only required a
little arithmetic to translate prices from
one language to another. but when their
relations toward each other changed
rapidly it began to be evident to all
except a few American statesmen that
it was imperative that, whether reduced
to a common unit or not, their moneys
‘must be reduced to a common standard. "
Inconsistencies of Sliver-Hes.
Senator Teller and ex-Congressman
Bland are out with statements saying
that the high price of wheat is due to
(short crops abroad. After telling us for
years that in some strange way the
prices on silver and wheat were linked
together so that they could not get far
apart they now express surprise that
anybody should think that the rise of
wheat had anything to do with the sil—
ver question. ~
According to these eminent silver
statesmen, when the price of wheat goes
down it is because of the “crime of
1873:" but when it goes up it is be-
‘ cause of the law of supply and demand.
They say truly that if the whole world
has big crops of wheat next year the
price will go down. Why, then, charge
it to silver? And why not apply the
same law of supply and demand to sil-
ver to account for its phenomenally low
price? Increased production and de-
creased demand have lowered the price of
silver just as certainly as decreased
production and increased demand have
raised theprice of wheat.

To Put up Price of Silver.
‘ The silver magnares who have closed "
their mines on account of the decline in
price are at last gong about it the
right Waynto raise value There will
always be a demand for silver, and as
the supply , goes down the market will
go up. Just as soon as the silver mine
owners resort to business methods in-
stead of politics they will accomplish
something. The wonder of it all is that
they have not come to their senses soon-

Endeavor to cultivate the art of ride
ing Without curving the back. It is
quite possible to lean forward and yet
keep the spine straight. Cycling is
frequently robbed of its splendid,
health-giving qualities by contraction
of the chest muscles, resulting from a.
careless and ungraceful position on the
saddle, and many are deterred from
adopting the pastime lest the “bicycle
back” he acquired. Beginners should
never attempt to ride long distances.
Some preliminary training is neces-.
sary, ere seventy or eighty miles can
be covered without stiffness and ex-
haustion resulting. The pace should
be steady all through, and any induce-
ment to ride fast at certain places
should be curtailed, so that all super-
fluous energy, may be reserved for the
return journey, when it is most re-
quired. Also, make sure that the ma-
chine' is all right before setting out.
These matters must be considered, if
the ride is to be carried out with com-
fort and ease.
Tests which have lately been made
at Cornell University relative to the
friction in bicycle chains reveal the
fact that with the lengthening of
chains, caused by wear, friction in-
creases very rapidly. A new chain of
the most approved pattern showed
about a halfof one per cent. friction,
while a chain which had lengthened
so that it was necessary to move a
link had an efficiency of about 60 per
cent., showing a loss of power of about
40 per cent. This is one of the disad.
vantages with which riders of the very
cheap, poorly constructed wheels have
to contend. The tempered blocks and
sides are constructed of soft, poorly
tempered steel. They not only stretch
to a great extent, but stretch unevenly,
making the chain out of pitch, and
causing a vast amount of friction,
which is generally attributed to the
bearings, when; in fact, the latter may
be working preperly.
There is a wide'divergence of opin-
ion on the question of appropriate re-
freshments. The junior brigade stands
out for iced drinks in profusion, while
the veterans assert that most chilly
beverages are better left alone. A
trainer of-wide experience volunteers
the opinion that thirst can be counter-
acted by an occasional gargling of cool
water, together with an immersion of
the wrists, in the same liquid. The
same authority 'claims that warm tea
will be found much more bracing and
beneficial than iced drinks and that
ripe fruit will be found much better,
than meat unless a rider is prepared to
stop off and sit down calmly to a com-
fortable mea‘. All the old-timers agree
that riders out on a tripin the present
temperature cannot. be too circumspect,
and that a regime on the most abstem<
ious lines is much safer than a free in-
dulgence in the various “cooling
drinks," provided along suburban
routs-s.
Wlieclmen, as a class, have recently
been subjected to an immense amount
of criticism and even abuse because
of the actions and behavior of a
certain element who pay no atten-'
tion whatever to the rights of others,
and apparently care for no one but
themselves. The editorial columns of
many of the most influential papers
have contained many articles recom-
mending caution, while scme have
asked for stern dealing with violations
of the laws, and wheelmen themselves,
or at least the more respectable por-
tion, .look with anxiety upon the pres-
ent state of affairs, but hope that some
method can be devised for breaking
up present abuses without curtailing
the rights of those who are not and
nev’er have proved themselves nui-
sauces.
A bicycle path in midair is the latest
thing. The Brooklyn Elevated Rail-
way Company is seriously contemplat-
ing a plan to build a cycle roadway on
tOp of the “1'." structure. The matter
will be considered at the next meeting
of the board of directors.

HAILSTORM DISSIPATED.
drape Growers in Austria Bombard the
Clouds in Order to Dispel Them.
The American rain-making experi—
ments are sufliciently fresh in the
memory to lend a peculiar interest to
a report recently sumbitted to ‘the
State Department by the consul at
Zurich regarding a. curious practice
that has grown up among the grape
growers of certain sections of Austria,
.which is, in effect. the exact reverse
of the rain-making theory. It is none
other than the prevention of storms
by aerial explosions.
I The owner of extensive vineyards
found that his profits were disappear-
ing with the frequent destruction of
his vines by hailstones. These storms
'are common, and severe in Austria,
especially on the southern slopes of
the Bacher Mountains, and as the soil
.is peculiarly adapted to the growth of
{the grape the question arose whether
[some means of preventing the falling
Iof hail could not be devised.
lplosion experiment was tried and to
;the date of the report it had met with
'unbroken success. The method is
simple. On each side of, the most
prominent summits surrounding the
vineyards the owner erected a station
* built of wood, for the shelter of a bat-
tery of heavy mortars, ten at each
station. The neighboring peasantry,
themselves small vineyard owners,
have been trained to the duties of
manning the batteries, and at the
slightest sign of the approach of a
storm fire all the mortars simultane-
ously. Each mortar is loaded with
about four and a half ounces of pow-
der; the report makes no mention of
I. projectile. The bombardment of the
LlOLClS is continued until the moisture
15 scattered and the storm prevented.
.‘.t the first trial or~ the system, after
:. few moments’ firing the cloud wall
:pened up in the form of a funnel, (the
mouth rising in consecutive rings,
:‘radually expanding until the clouds
mattered and disappeared. This pro-
ngs was accompanied by no hall or
Lven rain. ',
During the summer the firing was
{rider-taken six times, and always with
me same result. Thus it appears that
while man may not be able to force
nature to work at his bidding, he may
at least compel her to remain idle for
a. time—Washington Star.

Travelers Resort to It to Control and Keep
llle Beast Up to Its \Vork.
There is no reason why a dromedary
should not be partial to a good cigar.
Most dromedaries, according to a me-
nagerie proprietor, are particularly '
fond of tobacco smoke, and can be
made to do almost anything under its-
influence.
"Travelers in Egypt,” he asserts
‘rely more on tobacco smoke for'their
control over these huge beasts than
anything else. When traveling on
long journeys the dromedaries are in
many cases required to travel night
-..nd day without rest, and the beasts
.‘_re kept up to their tasks by smok—
ing Cigars. The driver carries a. tri-
angular piece of wood, which is pierced
at one point like a cigar holder. This
is inserted in the mouth of the beast,
the agar being lit and pressed into the
hole in the same fashion followed by
man. .
“The dromedary immediately closes
its eyes and puffs away through its nos-
trils until the cigar is burned away.”—
