TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1893.

THE REPEAL BELL PASSED. The bill to repeal the purchasing clause of the so-called Sherman act of 1890 passed the Senate yesterday evening by a vote of 43 to 32, or a majoriu of 11. The repeal bill which bears Senator Voorhees' name was framed in accordance with the views of the Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee, and oontains a positive and outspoken declaration in favor of bimetal ism. It says:

It Is hereby declared to be the policy of the ITnlted States to continue the use of both gold and stiver us standard money, and to coin both gold and silver Into money of equal Intrinsic value. And it Is hereby further declared that the efforts of the government should be steadily directed to the establishment of such a safe system of bl-metallsm as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or Issued by the United Suites In the markets and In the payment of debts in exchangeable value, such equality to be secured through international agreement,or by such stifecuards of legislation as will insure the maintenance of the parity in value of tlin coins of the two metuis, and the equal power 01 every dollar at all times In the miirkris in1 iu the payment oi debts.

These statements are in line with consistent R?pnblican polioy and conform to the declarations of the Minneapolis platform. The/ pledge the government explicitly to the Republican Bnd American principle of bi-meUlieca, equally opposed to unlimited silver coinage, whielrmsans'julver monotnetPliBm on the one hand and gold monoiuetnlism on the other. The enactment of this measure constitutes a guarantee that the vast silver interests of the nation shall not lie wantonly sacrificed. It, will paye the w»y for jjtke legislation for the protection of silver, which is necessary to place the currency on a thoroughly stable basis and promote the welfare of the whole oountry. The gloomy view which some of the friends of silver are taking over the repeal are entirely unwarranted. The repeal, however, will not bring the relief to the conntry that is desired. It will not start a wheel nor rekindle a furnace fire. Until there is an assurance that there will be no tariff tinkering the present deplorable condition of the country will remain.

AFTEB EEPJSAL.

Commenting on the effect of the passage of the repeal bill by the Senate the Chicago Inter-Ocean says:

It by no means follows that good times am now assured. It Is not all of business to be able to borrow money on good collaterals at a reasonable rate of Interest. However much Importance may attach to the loan ir arket. it Is not the main thing. The prices of farm products and other raw material produced throughout the country must be set down as the basis of all business calculation. Labor Is even a greater factor. The repeal of the purchasing clause ot the Sierman law has not enhauced the value of our products, agricultural or mineral, nor has It started up the factories, tiome factories have started up on short or full time, after a period of Idleness long enourh to exhaust the stocks on hand, but there is substantially the same paralysis of Industry now as a few months atro. The silver question did not Involve the industrial problem.

The two are distinct. The country Is waiting to know what is ts be done abtut the tariff, rnwrLaluty and apprehension hang like a pall of death over nearly every Industry. Hundreds of Industries not directly interested in the tariff are finding that,lndlrectly they are no less dependent upon.dutles than the protected lines of manufactures. Take, for example, the watch makers of Elgin. There are to-day some Ave hundred of them out of employment who were working at good wages a year ago, and who voted for Cleveland, They were told by the Democrats that they would get just as good pay for their work and what thev had to buy would be cheaper under free trade. The} And that both parts of the prediction were all wrong. So It Is the country ovei and the Industries through. The repeal bill is only a Binall matter comparatively. It is unnecessary toattemptany measurement of Its ffect,only it woula tie unfortunate for the public to build extravagant expectations upon. Its passage was desirable for the purpose of clearing away the fog which obscured tho vision. So long as the purchasing of silver continued It was held responsible for a great deal with which It really had little if anything to do.

DRAINED THE 8TATE.

Crawfordsville merchants are smiling to-day over the fact that the World's Fair has finally oome to an end. Its effects have been only too evidently made manifest on the summer and fall trade. It is not to be doubted but that the Fair caused a drain on Crawfordsville and Montgomery county of very nearly $400,000 in spot cash. If that money were here to-day things wouid be humming. The drain has ceased, however, and people will begin to retrenth. The effect ot the Fair on busiiness will be felt for several months, perhaps, but business will pick up from this on. Crawfcrdsville has not been hurt as many other towns, however. The factory towns where the laborers are idle and the wealthy have patronized the Fair liberally are almost paralyzed.

Crawfordsville is enjoying a better business thBn any neighboring town.

A SENIOR of Harvard was recently fined $300 for kissing a pretty girl who .was showing him a suite of rooms.

Such luxuries come high in Massachusetts. It only costs $75 in Crawforda. ville.

In Bohemia,

I'd rather live in Bohemia than any oilier land. For only there are the values true. And the laurels gathered in all men's view The prizes of tratllc and state are won By shrewdness of forcc or by deeds undone. But fame Is sweeter without the feud, And tho wise of Bohemia are never shrewd. Here pilgrims stream, with a faith sublime, Prorti every class and clliue and tiuie. Aspiring only to be enrolled With the names that ait writ Iu the book of

Cold,

And each one bears in uilr.d or hand A palm of the dear Bohemia laud. A scholar first with his book- a youth Aflame with the Klorv of harvested truth, A girl with a picture, a man with a play, A Doy with wolf he iias modeled in clay, A smith with a marvelous hilt and sword, A player, a king, a plowman, a lord And the player is kins when the door is passed, The plowman Is crowned, r.ml the lord is last I' I'd rather fail in Bohemia thun win iu another land. Thero are no titles Inherited there, No hoard or hope for the hrainless heir. No gilded duli..rd native born To stare at his fellow with leaden scorn. Bohemia has r. ne but adopted sous Its limits, where fancy's bright stream runs Its honors, not carnered for thrift or trade. But for truth and beauty men's souls have made. To the empty heart Iu a jeweled breast There is value maylv in a purchased crest But the thirsty of soul soon learn to know The moistless froth of the social show The vulgar sham of tin* pomfHius feast, Where the heaviest purse is the highest nriesr The ortfHiiized charity scrimped and IcedIn tho name of cautious, statistical Christ! The smile restrained, the respectable cant When a friend in need is a friend in want: When the only aim is to keep afloat And a brother may drown with a crv in hi* throat. Oh, I long for aglow of a kindly heart And the grasp of a friendly liand. And I'd rather live in Bohemia than in anv other land. —John Boylo O'Reilly.

TOLLING A DEATH IN MAINE.

A Curious Custom Maintained In Remote .Regions of the Tine Tree State. The traveler through some of tho more remote rural reglona. of Maine occasionally hears what most men of three score and ten romember as a familiar sound in their young1 days—the tolling of a church bell on the death of a denizen of the neighborhood, the strokes numbering- the years of the person's life. There is something peculiarly solemn about the use of the bell, so long neglected In the more populous communities, and to a writer for the Lewiston Journal no funeral service ever brought the fact of death home with the same pathos as listening to the unexpected sound of "the death-bell," startling the community into a hush, broken for a few minutes only by the low, whispered query: "Why, who can that be?" Then, as the tolling went on, the count was kept carefully to solve the mystery. The tolling began usually very soon after the breath had left tho body, and before the news had spread through other channels. If a very aged person the count would require a considerable time, while all would sit very still and listen for the strokes. A very dramatic scene oonnected with this old custom of tolling tho age of the dead is told by Miss Mulook In her novel, "A Brave Lady." It is where the shallow rector has used other money than his own, and is on the point of exposure, and his wife sees no way to avert the disgrace about to settle on her husband and children, when the solemn sound of the deathbell peaLs over the little village. Breathlessly tho count is kept and the bell goes on tolling until there is only one person in the community whose age will compare with its stroke—the wealthy old dean who has told the reotor's wife he has made her his heir. A dear friend lost, a fortune gained—the means brought to" hand to make good her husband's wrong-doing—that is what the death-bell tells her. Hearing the old familiar sound pealing solemnly over a Maine hamlet the other day brought this scene to mind most vividly.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN INDIA.

Combination of Good roints Often Found in the Far East. It is said that many of the women of India are beautiful, especially in Cashmir, but that it is hard to get a sight of them and almost impossible to obtain a picture of one of them. Either they or their husbands appear to look with rooted distrust on the photographer, and even when their photographs are taken they rarely give permission for copies to be sold. In a typical Hindu beauty-the skin is just dark enough to give a rich, soft appearance to the complexion, the features are regular, the eyes mild and black and shaded by long silken lashes the hands and feet are small and elegantly formed, tho demeanor is modest, the manners gentle, the voice low and Bweet. Such a combination of good points may not often be met with, but when it is who shall say what havoc is wrought among the hearts of male beholders? There are good looking women occasionally among the middleciass Hindus as well as among the upper ten, and even among tho low castes the faces are sometimes very pleasing. Many a Hindu woman who has perhaps little pretention to beauty of face has nevertheless the step and carriage of a princess and if one is not too fastidious about perfection of eyes atid mouths and noses her'figure, as she walks down the street with her load on ner head, Is truly abeautiful object. Jewelry is often worn to excess in India, as among other orientals, and the horrid nose ring is sometimes so large that it has to be fastened back to the ear by a delicate chain to keep it from interfering with the mouth.

He Had Become Resigned.

A guest in a mountain hotel, who had been studying the view for some time with a map, a compass and a field glass, was unable to Identify one large peak in the distance and asked the landlord what it was. The answer was: "I never take sides in these matters. When I came here I knew, or thought I knew, every mountain in sight but my guests never would agree with me, and would always get angry If I went to the support of some man whose observations agreed with mine, st of late years I have left them to fight It out among themselves." "But what peak do you think it is?" "Mount Killington." "It's too far south for that." "Thero you are, you see. Now, you really must allow me to know nothing about It."

A CHINESE CRUIKSHANK.

His Fascinating Cartoon. Attacking the Oplnm Traffic. The Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade has republished in fac simile a most curious set of Chinese cartoons on the national vice, which has an almost exact parallel in the famous Craikshank series, known as "The Bottle," says the London News. The native Cruikshank begins with a picture of a happy home, at any rate of a happy summer house. The "native debauchee is taking his first whiff. He reolines on a couoh of ebony, inlaid with marble, and all his surroundings are elegant and luxurious.

This is No. 1 of the series. No. 3 represents parental expostulations the youth cm his knees before his father and promising never to do it againi No. S, relapse, and No. 4, the wife painting scrolls for a livelihood in1 the miserable home. In No. 5 the smoker is at It again, while the wife and children, with a r«okless indifference to perspective which is in itself suggestive of despair, weep by the side of the besotted father's couch, and the old mother does the work of a domestic drudge.

In No. 6 the wife loses her temper and dashes the smoking gear to the ground, while the infuriated debauchee tries to beat her with a bamboo. In No. 7 he is again sucking at the recovered pipe, while compassionate friends vainly offer him the food for which he has lost all appetite. In No. 8 wife and child regard him with horror, but he does not seem to mind. In No. 9 he has been sold up and his lodging is on the cold ground. In No. 10 the dogs are after him as he crawls through the villages. No. 11 is the same as No. 10, "only more so." In No. 12 we see him, or rather tiie wretched skeleton of him, crawling into a hole in the rocks, In a wintry landscape, to die—still hufffing the pipe that has brought him to ruin.

SYMPTOMS WERE ALARMING.

Roth Affected Slmoltaaeoaalj with A D#•Ire to Find a Doctor. The following1 Is a true aocount of the development of a ourious and alarming complaint which suddenly attacked Chappie and Cholly as they were driving back from the club the other day, according to the New York Tribune, and which is still affording great amusement to their friands. One of these young gentlemen who was driving his companion in his buggy suddenly complained of a stitch in his left side. The pain grew more and more intense, until he became quite seriously frightened, when, to the consternation of the pair, the other man was attacked precisely in the same fashion on the right side. ith a fifteen-mile drive ahead of them, and fancying themselves seized by some mysterious and inscrutable disease, with the pain increasing every moment, the prospect was not a pleasant one. Wildly they lashed the horse in order to reach the nearest village and a doctor, and on they dashed over stones and ruts, leaving the rustio passers-by agape with astonishment. Suddenly, in the midst of his lamentations over the pain, Cholly exclaimed: "Don't you smell something burning?" and a strong smell of fire which, if it had not been for their excitement and fright, they would have noticed long before, made itself very apparent. "By Jove!" shouted Chappie, as he clapped his hand on his waistcoat pocket, "It is those matches!" And to their immense relief they found that a paper box of matches had ignited itself by friction and the fire had not only slowly burned its way through the garments of the owner of the box, but had extended Itself to the trousers of his friend, burning a large hole In his last Poole suit, and causing no little consternation in the minds of both.
