JOHN SHEIIMAN is the man the country wants to henr from on the silver question now. The sooner John do clares himself the better.

DURING the campaign the Democrats denied that they were in favor of State banks of issue, or wild oat enrrenoy. Now comes Senator Voorhees in the '•greatest effort of his life" and advocates jnst such a policy.

IN a primed card for regulations for public information, issued by the WellsFargo Express Compnny in the early '50s, the last regulation reads: "This company will not be responsible for SDV loss or damage occasioned by fire, the acts of God, or of Indians, or any other public enemies of the government."

IT IS

not usual to erect monuments to living moo.-ItHliaiuiixiHs Xeicx. This is a mild rebuke to the Monument Commission, which in its work has been a law unto itself, in placing the figure of General Manson as one of the four Btntues at the base of the monument. The entire Commission should have a place in statuary near the shaft somewhere. This aotion in choosing but one of the Commissioners shows partiality that should be resented by the members that got left.

A oouiiEsroNDENT asks the New York Press what is meant by free silver and that paper answers: "It means that if. as now, the government makes a coin containing 412i grains of standard silver a legal tender dollar, while that weight of silver is worth only sixty-four cents in the bullion market, the government Bhould also coin anybody's 412A grains of silver into a dollar, free of charge, and give it back to him thus giving the profit on coinage to the man who owns the Bilver, instead of th£ people.,

A STATEMENT prepared by the Mint Bureau, Treasury Department, shows that the production of gold and silver since 1792 up to 1892 aggregated 810,738,869,000, of which 85,633,908,000 was gold and 85,101,961,000 silver. Of the gold produced 83,582,605,000 has been coined as'money and the balance has been used in the arts. Of the silver produced 84,042,700,000 has been coined as money and the balance used in the arts. Of the gold used in the arts it is stated unofficially that most of it is now in graveyards, as the praotice of dentistry absorbs a large proportion of the gold so used.

SOLDIBIIS of the old Army of the Cumberland will regret to learn that one of its commanders, General William Starke llosecrans, at his home in Southern California now awaits the qnick coming of the grim messenger. His career during the late war is well known. He resigned his commission in the regular army in 1867, and for a period in 1868 and 1869 was Minister to Mexico. He then retired to a large estate at San liafael, Cal., and for several years was engaged in various railroad enterprises, lie was in Congress from 1881 to 1885. Tn June, 1885, ho was appointed by President Cleveland Register of the Treasury at Washington, and held that otllce until a few months ago. General llosecrans, who is now 74 years of age, is one of the noblest of men, as confiding as a child, as patient as a Christian and as gentle us a woman. His death will leave a wide gap in the ranks of the veterans of the war.

HENATOK VOOHHKKS' "greatest effoit of his life" was a disappointment to both the repealers and the anti-repealers of the Slierman law. It was the utterance of a demagogue from beginning to end and bore every evidenoe of being more suited to his constituency in the hills of Brown county than as an address by the Ohnirmrin of the Finance Committee of the United States Senate. In his demugogy he found, it necessary to enter upon a tirade against the "gigantic evil of the tariff." to talk in praiee of the greenbacks, to lUtter the siiver states, \nwp of the campaign of the capitalists for bond*, to charge that gold shipments had been a part of a plan to sack the treasury, to rip up national banks, which he said had tried to bully the government, and to claim that the banks are preparing for their Waterloo to cry out about the millionaires and the laborer, to spank in favor of State banks, and the Lord only knows what else that can be found in the catalogue of a dern agiigue. The whole Bpeech shows that it WIIB a fulfillment of a contract with the President to vote for repeal in return for official patronage.

"Would this be so," he would say to himself, "if I was such a fool as my father used to try and make rae out? Could a fool have gotten out of that Maydew affair as I did, and then kept out of the reach of suspicion and the law, ever since? No, no, John Stanley your son was no fool but he would have been made into a most thorough and genuine fool had he stayed very much longer with John and Mrs. John Stanley. Lord, what a pity it is that there isn't some way by which she can manage to get her name first!"

Among his other accomplishments, Mark was an expert gambler. Cards, dice, billiards, he mastered them all, and they all contributed to his coffers. The fast life he lived, and the exposure to which he constantly subjected himself soon took the natural sandiness out of his hair and skin, leaving the first gray, and the second sufficiently dark, go that for several years he had been relieved of the unpleasant necessity of using dyes or stains on his skin. Now that this nuisance was abated, he was so thoroughly satisfied with himself that he had but one ungratified wish. As much as he railed against women, he had, for years, felt the need of some one woman to whom he could turn for companionship and sympathy. But the sort of woman he wanted he could not find. Sometimes he doubted if he ever would find such a one and it was the sole regret of his life.

CHAPTER V.

ARY WAS BORN on the first day of a a a a birth, Tom Morris's three daughters, and their brother W a a man of twenty-five, made their first apa an a Mountain.

The Morris family had been detained en route and did not reach the brisk little mining town, where Tom had so long awaited them, until five days after they were due. Tom had not seen his children for nearly twenty years and when he came away from the East they were scarcely more than babes. In the intervening time he had received many photographs of them, and had been able to judge something of their respective characters from the letters they had sent him yet his daughters were a disappointment to him. They were pretty, ithd gentle, and all that but they seemed so dependent and' superficial,—so incapable of thinking .and acting for themselves,—in fact, so wholly unlike Mary. His beloved pupil was so capable and self-reliant that for the last year, without knowing why, the conviction had grown upon him that his daughters would be something the 6ame. Now that they were not, he felt, for a moment, some of Mark Stanley's bitterness, and more than half believed that the Fates had dealt unfairly with him.

With his son, Tom Morris was better pleased. Walter was a fine specimen of physical manhood, and was inclined to studiousness. His slightly-stooping shoulders, and pale, grave face gave one the impression that he had spent too much time over his books. 'Ye'11 git a tech o' stronger color nor that, bimeby," was Droopy's greeting. "ThiB 'ere ole Californy am better cor liver pills an' arsonnick ter take that are bleachy look outen a man's hide."

As Walter regarded the gay old miner closely, he thought that if California ever made his face like Droopy's he would certainly resort to arsenic as a relief, even from existence. But he only smiled cordially on Droopy, and •aid,— "I hope that you arc right."

When the stage which brought Walter Morris and his sisters arrived at ^ted Mountain, the whole place was enthusiastic over the celebration of Mary's birthday,—a feast-day in the Red Mountain calendar which the miners never forgot to observe. The festivities were at their height when Walter Morris stepped down from the stage and one of his elegant and fastidious sisters covered her ears with her hands to shut out the "horrid noise" made by the brass band which the miners had imported from San Francisco, at "great expense," to "put the punctuation-marks in the program," as the local newspaper expressed it. "What a magnificent woman, and what an outlandish man 1" was Walter's first remark when he saw Dubb and Mary, where they were viewing the merrymakers, from the hotel balcony. "Hush," cautioned Tom, "or she will hear you: she has cars like a cat That is my benefactor and hit daughter."

An exclamation of surprise, almost of horror, burst from Walter's lips. "It can't be possible!" he cried. "So lovely a woman the daughter of so ugly a man! And you say she is only IV. To'what a tremendous extent do incongruities run in this new country of yours? Tell me, father, have you many more such abnormalities as this ill-matched father and daughter?"

Droopy, who had for a moment been speaking with some one else, turned his attention to Walter again, in time to catch the word "abnormalities "YCIII he responded,- heartily. "3*ou bet. We raises'em hero by the iuu-acre lot, an' we digs em' outen the groun' in dead loads."

Walter laughed, and Tom was re-

lb lieved "to find that Droopy liail not discovered that Dubb and Mary were being discusscd. Tom was nettled by his son's criticism of Dubb. To be sure, he himself had never considered Dubb a beauty, but it was painful to hear his hero discussed in that fashion, even by Walter. It made Tom feel, all at once, that the old order of things had been unpleasantly broken in upon. The presence of his children would interrupt, to a greater or less extent— probably the former—the harmonious relations which for so long had existed between himself and Dubb and Mary. His son and daughters would never regard his two friends as he did all four would ridicule Dubb, and the girls, at least would be jealous of Mary. Ho was sorry that he had not either left his family in the East very much longer, or brought them Westward before their methods of life were fixed. And then another unhappy thought flashed over him he was allowing Mary to displace his children,his own flesh and blood, in his .affections. Was it right? In less than a second he clinched his fists, and gritted his teeth over a smothered oath. Mary was worth it, anyhow, rifht or Wrong and he could not change what already was, nor would he if he could

His line of thought was suddenly interrupted by DuVo, who had stepped forward, with Mary, to greet the newly-arrived members of the Morris family. Droopy touched Tom on the shoulder. "Straighten up, pavd," lie whispered: "here am Dubb an' Queen Mary."

Tom introduced Dubb and Mary to his children, and observed, with more or less disgust, that his daughters were disposed to look upon Mary with that degree of condescension which is so little remov from contempt, and mainly, too, because of the somewhat unconventional way in which she was dressed. Though this made Tom's cheeks burn with resentment, he was, from one stand-point, glad of it it distracted the attention of the three young women from certain peculiarities about the person of Dubb which they might have regarded with even more open contempt than they did th» dress of Mary.

At his first glimpse of Mary, Walter had been impressed as no woman had ever impressed him before. This was partly because of her beauty but even more than by that was he impressed with the certainty that she was a woman who did her own thinkingsomething which Walter Morris had

been led to believe was the rarest of all phenomena—in young women. '•Your father is one of my best friends, Mr, Morris," said Mary, offering him her hand, with a smile, when they were introduced: "partly for his sake, and just a little for your own sake. I am plad 'TITank lie ansv/end, bending low over her hand: "the pleasantness your welcome is worth the long Journey here, even if there were no other recompense. My father's letters have fully acquainted me with four relations with him! and I am sure that neither you nor ho can ever have better friends than each other." "What you say," slio responded, laughingly, "is certainly an estimable compliment to me, but I am ifraid that it is rather a doubtful one to your father." And then, turn ,ng from him, she kissed each of his listers. "This may not be the Eastern way," she said "in fact, I am pretty ture that it is not but I cannot bo formal with the daughters of a man whom I owe so much as I do your father and In my father's name, and also in my Dwn,

I bid you welcome to Red Mountain." "Hooray! That's the stuff!" shouted the admiring Droopy and tlio byitanders, impressed with the idea that there was something to "hooray" about, proceeded to "hooray" with lusty vehemence. "0, what a dreadful place!" exclaimed Miss Mlilicent Morris, the elder of the three sisters, and the one whose sensitive nerves bad been so jruelly shocked by the brass band. "I 4m sure that we shall all be killed here." I "I reckon not," said tho consoling

Dro py "we never kills nothin' but ho' thieves in this country." Mary could scurcely repress a smile, but she slipped a hand through one of the arms of Millicent Morris, and gently impelled her toward the hotel, signing for Morris to follow with the others. "You are tired, dear," she said, "and all this is new to you. You will feel better aftter you rest and get acquainted with us. Come into the hotel."

Millicent looked up at the building they were about catering. "A wooden hotell" she gasped. "Ves,'1 Interposed Droopy "out here we on'y makes jails out o' stun."

"What a gay-looking old cook you are, this morning 1" said Tom Morris, who was alone ia the offioe and an Irrepressible grin Illuminated his face as he spoke. "What's the matter with you?" "I'm in love," answered Droopy, thrusting his hands into his trousers* pockets, and strutting up and down the offioe with comical pomposity.

I thought that When a man was in love he was always solemn and downcast, and that he put all his clothes on in the wrong way, and forget his toilet altogether." "That's J.n Eastern idee," retorted Droopy, "an1 a wrong ene, like 'most all Eastern idees. So, sir I ain't got things. mixed at all nary a mix.

"Yon bet an' charity don't mount ter nothin' when yer blows about it, an' so 1 can't tell ye her name jsst yet"

Just then Dubb came in, and Droopy laid one finger across his lips, as if what he had just said was a State secret "So that is the way the cat is going to jump," thought Tom. "Droopy is In love with Mary. But why under the sun does he call her miserable? There was never a happier, more contented woman on earth.
