TUESDAY. AUGUST 1. 1893.

BILVJEB AND THE TABtFF. THE JOTTRNAI. to-day prints a communication from Charles F. Spilman, dated at Eureka, Utah, on the silver question. No doubt he gives oorreot statistics as to the amount of silver prodooel in the six States and territories named and the number of people dependent on mining as a means of livelihood. The only misstatement made in the communication is in regard to the position of THE JOURNAL. The "attitude" of this paper has not been in favor of the repeal of the 8herman law as a cure-all for the evils brought upon the country by a Democratic Administration. Indeed it has said time and again that in its opinion the Sherman law has had but very little to do with the present deplorable condition of affairs, either in the East or in the West. The present financial and industrial depression arises from other causes, chief among which is the uncertainty as to what th* Democratic party intends to do with the tariff. The repeal of the

Sherman law will have but little affect on the bnsiness interests of the country. Westerners may be deluded with the idvi tbut to repeal it means ruin, but thpv will learn in due course of time that whether the law stands or whether it ic re w»p.lpd the result will be the same to them. Conservative men in the Middle States have no sympathy with the silver bugs of the West or the gold bngs of the East. They are not in favor of a single silver standard nor a tingle gold standard, but they believe in bimetalism and maintaining the parity of the two metals. Free silver coinage would drive out the gold and give the country a single silver standard. This the country will resist. The $750,000 paid to labor per day in the silver mining States is but a drop in the ocean of labor throughout the United States.

What the labor of the country demands is that the policy which has given em ployment to idle bands shall be continued and that the wages they receive ahull be in money as good as any other money whether that money be gold, silver or paper. Ana there is nothing the matter with any of our money. It is all good and there is plenty of it. The whole trouble is in the threat that hangs over the country to smash our great factories and workshops by unfriendly legislation.

THE Review of this city says: "Tippecanoe county is indirectly responsible for the Koby iniquity. It sent MoHrigh to the Legislature and he secured the passage of tha law which permits such brutal institutions as prize fighting and winter horse raoing." To this the Lafayette Call dissents. It Bays in reply: "Tippecanone county did nothirg of the kind. We plead not gniiltv. Tippecanoe county sent Job Osborn to the Legislature. It was the Democratic Legislature that pnt McHugh in his seat, contrary to the vote of the people of Tippecanoe county—did it, simply because Mr. Osborn was a Republican, and they wanted to strengthen their party majority by puttiug a Democrat in his place." .'

HAYS the New York Recorder: The workingmen were told last summer and fall that the inevitable reenlt of the Hiiocess of Lhe Democratic party would b) a reduction of wages. They laughed at the prediction, and declared their unions would keep their compensation up to theold standard. How is it now? The McKinley law, it is true, is still in force, but the apprehension of its appeal has alarmed manufacturers in nearly every branch of business, and the gloomy project is that the workingmen will have to accept the alternative of lower wages or absolute idleness.

HOKE SMITH was hung in effigy by tlio enraged citizens of Rome, Adams county, Ohio, on Saturday night. The immediate cause of this action was the dropping from the pension rolls of a vuteran aged eighty,three years, a sold ier who had served four years and five months in the 11th Illinois Cavalry. On receipt of the news of h's suspension the old man became a raving maniac. But the pension rolls must be purged.

COMITUOLLER ECKEIJJ is the most roseate minded politician now in sight With the announcement of each bank failure he gives it out that the situation is growing better. Amidst all this wreck the country is assured that he is "chvrtul." He fhould be placed on exhibition among the living curiosities on

Midway Plaisance.

SENATOR VOORHHKS wants to prepare people for the worst. He says, "Con gress will likely be in continuous aion for a year."

HOW DAPHNE SHARED HER HAT.

The Little Girl Who ••Looked Like a Flj Fnder a Cabbage Leaf." "And what did Aunt Mary say to your new hat?" asked Mamma Ferris, as she untied the strings of the quaint-looking felt hat, with its nodding plumes, which almost hid the sweet little face beneath it. "She said I looked like a fly under a cabbage leaf."

Mamma laughed merrily. The hat was so very big and the face so very little that the comparison did not seem much out of the way. But Daphne was greatly puzzled she did not see howshe could look like a fly nor how the hat could look like a cabbage leaf. "What is little missie looking for?" asked Thomas, the gardener, as he saw her stooping among the cabbages. "There's nothing there good to eat." "I don't want to eat 'em." said Daphne, in great disgust. "I only want to see a fly under a cabbage leaf."

Then Thomas laughed, and Daphne wondered what there was so funny about it. "Don't flies live under cabbage leaves when they're at home?" she asked. "Not as I know of." replied Thomas, with his eyes still twinkling. "I guess they're most at home botherin' people in their houses and eatin' whatever they can find. They don't trouble the cabbages much." "Then what made Aunt Mary say that I looked like a fly under a cabbageleaf in 1113- hat?" asked Daphne, in great surprise. "Well," said Thomas, as he tried hard not to laugh again, "a fly is very little, you see. and the hat is pretty big. and so—" "Well. I don't like my hat. then," said Daphne, very decidedly, "aud I wish it wasn't so big." "Lor. now." exclaimed Thomas, "and the lots o' little girls there is that hasn't got any hat at all

The little "flv under the cabbage leaf wondered whether it wouldn't really be better to have no hat at all than to have one that ivas so very big.

But mamma declared that it was a very nice hat indeed, that it had cost a great deal of money, and would keep off the wind and cold: and the next day, which was Sunday, Daphne unwillingly allowed herself to be tied into what papa called her "coal-scuttle," and went to church. But all through the service she fancied that people were looking at her: and as they came out from the porch, one lady said to another: "Pretty little thing, but that great hat makes her look top-heavy." "I think," said papa.~Smilingly, "that this little girl has a hat and a half: it is really large enough for two."

The "little girl" brightened up again at this remark it fitted in so nicely with what Thomas had said about some little girls having no hat at all, and the head under the big hat was doing a great deal of thinking. If she really had a hat and a half, and one that was big enough for two. it would be selfish to keep it all to herself, and she certainly ought to share it with some other little girl who hadn't any hat, or onlj' a small one.

There was a rather unpleasant-look-ing child in the neighborhood named Tillie Slade, who was generally to be seen swinging on a rickety gate, and making faces at everyone of whom she was not afraid. She was a dark, thin, little personage, with a perked-up expression on her face, and with her short dress and queer little hat with a shabby feather sticking up in it, she reminded Daphne of the monkeys that go about with the hand-organs. But then she was poor, and her mother worked hard, and she had such a small hat, when large ones were the fashion, that altogether Daphne felt quite ten-der-hearted as she passed the gate on Monday afternoon.

Tillie was swinging as usual, but she didn't make a face she was lost in admiration of Daphne's hat. "My!" said she, "ain't we fash'nable, though! Don't you want to change hats?"

The little girl with the big hat was rather startled by this question, but she said, presently: "I'll share it with you if you like my father says it's big enough for two."

Then quite a consultation took place which ended in Daphne's going with her humble acquaintance to the mil liner's, with the request that she would make two hats out of the troublesome large one. "Kor the land's sake!" exclaimed that worthy woman, indismay. "Whoever heard of such a thing? Your hat, Daphne Ferris, isn't a mite too big to look right, and your nm 'ud give you a pretty talking to! You go home, Tillie Slade, and let other folks' hats alone."

This was rather discouraging but as they were leaving the shop Daphne said, brightly: "I'll tell you how we can share it you put it on and wear it awhile, and then I'll wear it. How will that do?"

Tillie declared that it was "splendid and presently her shrewd, old little face was peering from under Daphne's great hat, while on Daphne's head was mounted the queer little affair with the upright feather in it, which looker so exactly like Tillie. Both were saf. isfied and Tillie was strutting alcui1 like a peacock in her borrowed plumon, when whom should they meet but Daphne's mamma 1

Mrs. Ferris was horrified, as she made the children change hats at once, and carried Daphne off home. But papa laughed until he was tired when Daphne explained to him how she tried to share her hat. Presently her father asked: "If my little girl had had something she preferred to keep, would she have been quite so ready to share it?"

The rose-leaf cheeks grew a deep, deep red as Daphne whispered a brave "No."—Ella Rodman Church, in Harper's Young People.

THE ROOT OF THE EVIL.

A Word to Young Mm* t'nui'crnliiB a Sinklup Fuiul. It's an evil present with every generation. This is it: The hid with a dollar a day 90 spends that he can't put a cent in the bank. He wears, eats and wastes the last dime. When he gets two dollars a day he begins to think of marriage. When he reaches three dollars and further -on his burdens increase.

He never sees the time, poor fellow, when there is anything over. If the boy is father to the man, and we believe it, there is going to be turned out a very poor specimen of a man. Life is a race. When one enters for a race he

strips off every hindering weight. It's

a wise plan. But in order to be big— swelled—the young man with a thousand a year must be up sides in appearance and expenditures with the neighbor who gets two thousand. And so it runs madly all along the line. Tb's ends in hard trouble and shame every time. A little ago we witnessed the sickness and death of one of this unfortunate class. Poor fellow, as thought of his wife and young children without a penny, his dying was mournful. His imprudence, his pride was leaving his dear ones alone in a cold world. There is a positive cure for .this great disease and sorrow. This is it, and it is possible with every human being: Put something past every week, in some shape or other, for the rainy day. Can a young man with otfly a dollar day do it? Yes, and he can increase the pile as his income and years grow. lie can do it from the very start. This is a world of many splendid opportunities. We want you all to know that with religion and common sense (keep them together) the problem can be worked out comfortably. There's that devil, drink how he depletes one's purse tobacco ditto, pride the same, and in their train thirty other imps tumbling you into holes. Fight them off conquer them, everyone. Man needs but little here below, but he is such a goose that he can't keep a little for home use of the much that, a kind Providence has strewn across his path.

That's what's the matter. The fool so lives that he ha? nothing for his family, his church, or his needy neighbors. Isn't he to be pitied and scorned? He ran through life uneducated—drawing wild, reckless drafts 011 to-morrow. Hear him groan. Is there hope for him? Yes, if he'll only turn over a new leaf. Never too late to mend. Seize hold of the pleasures of hope, work like a beaver and pile up sweet things like the bee. You can do it. What would you think of a heavy-limbed plow-horse trying to go a mile in 2:10. He'd be foundered in the run. We have indicted some of the things which shouldn't be tried. Will three hundred heed us or only thirty? The one with only one talent can give good satisfaction and splendid results just as well as the one with live both can work on the same line. Go in then to win. Establish a sinking fund to stop sinking thyself.— N. Y. Witness.

"YARD-SHEEP.*

An Outdoor Summer Game Which Both. Hoys aud Girls Can Enjoy. One of the pleasantcst outdoor games to be played in the twilight is that called in this vicinity (southern Massachusetts) "Yard-Sheep." A goal is marked out and a post driven in the ground. On this post is balanced a stick about a foot long, which is called the "gate." Each player is furnished with a stout cane with which to strike

the balanced stick. A goal-tender or "man" is then chosen, and the rest of the players, which may be any number, go off and hide. The man counts one hundred and then starts to find the sheep, which he is to put in the yard. If he spies a player fee runs to the goal and calls "yard sheep for ," calling the name of the one he saw. If. after he sees a sheep, the sheep can roach the goal first and knock off the gate, he can run oil and hide again, while the "man" is replacing the gate, for Sheep can not be yarded when the gate is off. If the "man" goes after sheep in one direction and one of the players can come from another and knock off the gute, then the "man" must replace the gate before

he can catch Rn

After a sheep is

y0ne.

yarded a player can release him If ho can get to the j^al before the "man" and knock off the gate. If he makes a mistake and only knocks it a short distance. ami the "man" can get it on again before the sheep get out of sight, then he oan call for both of them and they must come back. When three sheep are yarded the game is ended, and the first one caught Is then the "man." The "man" has to watch his goal pretty sharply while ho is looking for the sheep so as not to let a sheep steal a march 'on him. When a sheep is in the yard he can not knock off the gate. No one but the "man" can touch the gate with his liartd if he does he is caught, and must take the place of the "man" and' the game commence over again. This is a bojV game, but girls sometimes join in the sport, and s«fem to enjoy it.—American Agriculturist.
