FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1897.

IN the death of Charles A. Dana the country undoubtedly loses the greatest all round newspaper man it has ever produced. What more need be said?

THAT Indianapolis woman who made application for an insurance policy on the life of her husband, who was in jail on a charge of murder in the first degree, had an eye to business.

CRITICS of the new tariff have neglected to mention the fact that the export of manufactured articles is over 20 per cent heavier than it was a year ago undor the Wilson law.

THE New York Journal, a free silver organ, makes this honest confession and admission: "Gold is on its way to New York and the tide of domestic manufacturing interests rises higher each day. The railroads are blocked up with the crush of business all along the line."

GEORGE M. PUI.L.UAN, who diea buddenly Tuesday, left an estate valued at S25,000,000. After all what doth it profit a man even though he should gain many times that sum. That man is the happiest who can say with Abou Ben Adhem, "Write me as one who loves his fellowmen." *r

THE November Century will contain an article on "The Growth of Great Cities," prepared by Roger S. Tracy, M. D. This will be accompanied by an inserted colored map of Greater New York, specially prepared for the readers of the magazine, and giving unpublished statistics.

PROFESSOR COIN is working a new idea, embracing an organization called the "Order of American Patriots." It is required that each new member subscribe for the organ of the order of which the Professor is the editor. It is safe to say, however, that financial lightning will not strike twice in the same place

THE silver orators and organists of the country are filled with delight over the fact that wheat has again dropped below the dollar mark. It disconcerts them to see a bushel of wheat worth two ounces of silver, when a year ago an ounce of silver and a bushel of wheat were at the same price.

THE war in Cuba is a godsend for the steamers plying between Spain and Havana, 'the regular line has received 514,000,000 for transporting soldiers and war material, and has just declared a dividend of $22.10 upon every share of 8100. Tho owners are doubtless willing that the war should continue indefinitely.

THE I'hiladelf hia Press presents«an array of hard facts, obtained from manufacturers and business men, that show beyond dispute the reality of the return of prosperity in Pennsylvania and the reasonable certainty of its further increase. The returns thus collected are not partisan, and yet the revival of trade and industry is almost 'universally ascribed to the Dingley law.

THIS business man is again taking an interest in politics. In those States in which the silver question enters into the campaign, and it is being forced to the front wherever possible, the business men of the country are reviving their organizations of last year with which they so effectively and successfully com batted this dangerous menace to the financial system of the country.

THE free trade theorist are not hunting up just now their assertions made when the McKinley law was enacted, that not amount of protection would enaole the United States to make its own tin plate. Not only in the bulk of our tin plate now being manufactured at home as a result of that protection thus given, but our manufacturers of that article are actually invading foreign markets.

THE National Municipal League has issued from its headquarters in Philadelphia an appeal to the friends of good government throughout the United States for the election of Seth Low as Mayor of Greater New York. As Mr. Low and the Indianapolis News both have resented interference from the outside it is supposed that they will protest against this action on the part of these Philadelphians.

THERE is no sort of connection between the object the bimetallists have in view and that the Bryanites have in view. The Wolcott commission is engaged in work promised by the Republican party weeks before Mr. Bryan's propaganda was launched. When the St. Louis platform was adopted it was not known that the Democrats would put out so extreme a bid for support as they afterwards did at Chicago, or that so extreme a man as Mr Bryan would be chosen to stand on it. Bimetalism by international agreement, therefore, has no connection whatever with Mr. Bryan's past race or his present contention. Mr. Bryan llouts the Wolcott commission and all it has done or is trying to do. He is opposed to any agreement with foreign governernments about the finances. He wants the United States government to have a financial policy of its own, and as he outlines that policy it would not be bimetalism, but, inevitably, silver monometallism. International bimetallism would be impossible,under Mr. Bryan's policy, for this country.

ACCORDING to the report of the Director of the Mint which he has just submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury the coin executed during the last fiscal year was as follows: Gold, 571,010,705 silver dollars, S21,203,r"01 subsidiary silver, 83,124,085 minor coin, $084,500. The silver dollars coined were from silver bullion on hand, purchased under the act of July 14, 1890. From the date that law took effect, August 13, 1890, there has been G8,74S,477 pieces coined. At the average price of silver for the year the commercial ratio between'gold and silver was 1 to 31.94. The stock of gold and silver in the United States on July 1, 1897, is estimated to have been: Gold, 8090,270,542 silver, 803 1.509,7S1 making a total of 81,330,780,323. The Director reviews the decline of silver since 1873, and attributes the decline to the great increase in the production. This states the case in a nutshell.

HAS it ever occurred to the friends of silver that the railways are responsible for the fall in the price of the white metal'.' A ton of the rock from which biiver ore is obtained turns out on the average about five pounds of silver, and as a result the transportation is an extremely important factor in the production of silver. Prior to the date at which silver began to fall in price, the silver producing sections of the United States were not reached by railroads. Simultaneouly with the opening of railway transportation to and from the silver producing sections the increase in silver production began, and with it the fall in price. The silver men ought to put an embargo upon the railroads if they expect to keep their commodity to its former price.

IN one of its yard stick editorials commenting on the iuterview with exPresident Harrison in which that distinguished gentleman expressed himself in favor of the election of General Tracy, the Republican candidate for Mayor of New York, the Indianapolis News says:

The fight in New York is purely local, and it is fair to assume that the people of that city are capable of deciding the issues involved without any suggestions from outsiders.

That being true why is it that the News is taking such an active interest in the election of Mr. Low? Has not General Harrison equal rights with the News to make suggestions from the outside? Or does the News own au exclusive franchise for all outside opin.ons?

PROFESSOR FLINT, the hypnotist, in his explanation of what hypnotism is, last night, might have added to his illustrations the case of William Jennings Bryan at the Chicago convention. There can be no doubt now of his having hypnotized the great body of delegates and snatched the nomination for the Presidency from greater and more deserving men. He tried his hypnotic powers on the people of the country at large afterward. He succeeded in making many of his subjects look as silly as the Professor's subjects looked last night, and then after the election the audience laughed. W. J. B., however, is anxious to continue the show. Like Professor Flint he is in for the gate receipts.

FOR ten years Charles A. Dani was the managing editor of the New York Tribune under Horace Greeley. In its comments on his death that paper says that Mr. Dana was responsible for the iteration of the "On to Richmond!"cry in the Tribune, which preceded the battle of Bull Run. As soon as Mr. Greeley was able, after the brain fever in which that disaster threw him, he repudiated the utterance, and required the Tribune to adjure efforts at directing military operations. He found further cause, however, for dissatisfaction, and finally insisted on Mr. Dana's resignation. From the well known characteristics of Mr. Dana one can readily believe that this disclosure is true.

Porui.iSTic and Democratic newspapers in Kansas and the surrounding regions of the West have stopped printing the market reports. They con­

tend that the accounts of high prices that come through these reports are upsetting the poverty doctrines that are so essential to the success of the free silver propaganda, and they do not relish giving publicity to what they term "Republican literature." This confession is better in itself than tons of literature or columns of market reports. When the farmer is in danger of being converted by the truth the time has arrived for the Populist and the calamity howler to find a cyclone cellar aud lose themselves.

THE November McClure's will contain the first installment of Charles A. Dana's "Reminiscences of Men and Events of the Civil War This promises to be a most intc-sting series. Sent into the field as the personal representative of Liiicoln ard Stanton, rarely equipped by nature and training for full and accurate observation, and under instructions to let nothing significant escape him either in men or movements—Dana saw what no other man or men could possibly have seen. The papers are to be illustrated from the recently completed Government Collection of Civil War Photographs.

GOVERNOR MOUNT states that 81,000,000 of the State debt will be paid during the first year of hisadministration, and he has every reason to believe that it will be a million a year during his term. He gives due credit for this excellent condition of affairs to a fine corps of State officers, all working in harmony looking to economy, but not parsimony, in the expenditure of the public funds. The payment of 8-1,000,-000 on the public debt will certainly be a feather in the cap of a Republican administration.

Nine children, a number of grandchildren with a host of friends participated in the festivities of the day, which consisted of songs, declamations and games for the younger ones. A large table had been prepared in the yard which was loaded down with the fat of the land, and after all had eaten there was still enough to feed a multitude. All went away feeling that it was good to be there. Although Mr. Williams is past 77 and his wife is 71 yet they were actively engaged in preparing the feast By the wav, they both do their own work.

75, who labors more than many a younger man. Robert Lockridge, aged 70, who personally superintends his large interests and gives his bands pointers on how to farm with care and despatch William Hicks, aged 70, who is resting from his labors but is remarkably well preserved for a man of his years Jesse Fall, who is over 70, and lives on the same farm he was born on, who can work but would rather ride around with the ladies. Besides these there are a number of old ladies whom courtesy says we should not ask their ages and as we came to this country many years after they did we have no means of furnishing the data. Since writing the above we call to mind that John Park, Sr., and Uncle Johnnie Young are both over 70 years old and if any one thinks that they can not work let him attempt to follow them for a few days and he will soon see that he was badly mistaken. Moral:—If you want to live lone and be happy, move to Raccoon, the garden spot of Putnam county.

MICHAEL, KING A-WHEEL

Many a young person and hundreds of older people who have determined to take up bicycling as a health-giving ex ercise find themselves really lacking the proper "snap" or stamina to begin on. Their bodily condition prevents so spirited exercise Many who are really sick, who have suffered from debility or wasting diseases for along time until they had begun to think their troubles had become chronic, as nothing gave them relief, would turn to bicycling for relief, but they find that this splendid exprcise, like any other, requires strength to undertake. The blood is out of order, the nerves are deranged, and nature's food for both is needed.

All such persons will find to their immense joy that Paine's celery compound will make them well.

W. H. Wilson and wife entertained a number of relatives at dinner Sunday. Among the number were their uncle and aunt Jos. McGinnis and wife, of Iowa.

Corn husking is in full blast, having been commenced about three weeks earlier than usual. The quality is said to be very inferior, there being a large amount of chaffy corn.

After the exertion of my record rides while with the Morgan Ok Wright team in the Soulh last winier, during which I lost .somewhat in weight, on account of the unaccustomed climate, I was advised to nte Paine's celery compound. I am pleased to say that itgaxe such satisfaction that I was impelled to use it again to brace up from the effects of the two unusually rough ocean trips that I have taken during the past month. I believe that wheelmen who have, to undereo the hardships of "circuit chasing'' will find Paine's celery compound of assistance in keeping up their physical tone.

Thousand need to take a remedy to purify their blood, arouse the circulation and counteract the debilitating effect of confining work, worry and excitement.

The more intelligent portion of every community are the ones who best recommend Paine's celery compound. They have looked into this great remedy, followed its remarkable achievements in the case cf friends, neighbors and relatives, and know just what to expect from its use as a nerve and brain strengthener and restorer and an ideal invigoratorfor a run down system.
