or BOBS wi:ii it can ne swassaww. this is due much of the success of homeopathy, for in many cases nature requires oiuy careful nursing in order to effect a cure. Nevertheless, there are case in which the administration si a dose of medicine is a matter of life and death--the sole hope of recovery. Then it is. if the patient beschild. that the mother reaps her reward if tbe has taVftsI the child to obey, since the doae is taken without t rouble or resistance. It is worse than folly to deceive a child with the pretense tiiat nauseous medicine is palatable: the deception may
avail once, hut t he litt ie one loses an
faith in the aSSaraSMS, UN it counts for nnuirht. Far wiser to tell him honestly
that it tastes badly, but it is to do him good, and that a soon as it is taken lie aha!! have something to "take the taste out of his mouth." something, if poaaible, which lie especially likes. The pellets in which so many of the modern medicines are given ure far easier to take than were the huge pills of the last gencralion. and it is not often that a bitter dose is absolutely necessary. When the little patient must be forced to take the dose, do so quietly and firmly; hold the bawd and nose while the spoon presses downs the tongue. In the ifori to breathe, the medicine, vhict
should he in liquid form, will he swallowed. A medicine glass is much better than a BOSWB 14 .ess apt to spill the contents.

The praseut secretary of the treasury. ItfOsoO tiage, is one of the most dai gerüii iiieu tl. it i icr floated outhekurface of doubtful und disturbed politics. He ia dangerous because be ia hoth iguorutit and unscrupuious. Ilia ignorance of the laws ut.d lustory of the country by which he is tolerated is so dense that he declared, in a recent speech, that Ihe gold standard was established by a democratic administration in 1834, when every tchoolboy knows, or ought to know, that the famous enactment of that year was the change of ratio from U to sixteen to one. The sole object of this act, as explained by Benton, in his speeches snd writings, waa to establish bimetallism. It was a I'enton-deinoci atic law, and it accomplished it purpose, as explained in previous pa per. f this series. It gave us nearly- 30 y ears of actual and practical bimetallism, and the equal and free circulation of hoth gold and silver; and thai waa the onlv neriod in the whole
history of our government when the two money metals worked side by side, in doing the business of the country. Ntitber liefore nor since the beginning aud ending of that era of unequaled national nrosneritv and happiness hae
the people enjoy ed the privileges and benefits of the double standard. Kising from the lower levels of the mass of common people, by the fortuitous windings of doubtful circumstances, and the special privileges of plutocratic legislation, the secretary now looka down with undisguised contempt ou the stem that produced him. He never speaks of the common people without a sneer at their supposed ignorance and incapacity for self-government. Those who may take the trouble to examine his portraits will find indelibly stamped on his face the smirk of the self-satisfied hyiocrite and the sardonic Mniie of the COMM. th-nolicv man. 'Inking Hamilton
as his model, he has neither the sense nor the education to imitate the great
founder of the monocratic party. Thi. flaatawMMMSfl creature of cireum
this soulless and cold-blooded
worshiper of the almighty dollar, is now
in a position to do lus country innniie kifa aal events show that he does not
kaaltata to use his onport unities. The
. i ......... tha
War now in progress u.i Knited States and Spain ought tobe a cash w ar. There is no reason under the sun. or the necessities of this government, present or prospective, for the increase of our bonded debt. The la-t treasury statement, issued the first of
the month, show s an excess or -aiu.uou.-000 of gold in the treasury, including the unnecessary ami dangerous $100,000,000 of reserve. This is idle money, and idle money, like idle men. is al
ways iVngerOOS. Money tiiat is noaiueu nnd not allowed to go into circulation it a pernicious menace to the liberties of the people. It had better not be in existence. The most ext ravagant estimate of the expense of the war yet published places the amount at $1.000,000 per day. Wc hav c. therefore, now in Ilia treasury, money enough to prosecute the war for nearly seven months. In addition to this, the government has an unued and idle seigniorage in silver of more than S42.0OO.0O0. and the capacity
to cafely and beneficially absorb $1,000,000,000 "of greenbacks if necessary. Yet. in spite of these facts, the secretary of the treasury propose to issue $5()0,0o0,000 of interest-bearing bonds, tad the plutocratic pres. obeying the commands of it masters, approves the traitorous proposition, on the ground that it is necessary to sustain the credit of the government. It is a new thing in political economy when a government can strengthen its credit by borrowing monev w hen it has a useless surplus on bawd. How long would an individual pursuing a similar course, retain tfcf confidence of his neighbors or escap" bankruptcy? The subservient pres goes to the length of accusing such sturdy patricta and defenders of the people's rights as Kiehar.l P. Island and those who support him. of "copperheadism" and disloyalty because they d ire . r i la ilioir voice ncainst this bond
mam , , 1 1 - a
conspiracy, lue oni siiiy aim h.i.iu cant of 0 00 OOwl dollar is also thrown in their teeth, and they are accused of wanting to pay the volunteers in depreciated money. The people who in .ke such stupid accusations mistake the spirit, and cast reflection upon the intelligence of the spleudid young men who are volunteering to fight the battles of this war. They arc not enlisting for $13 a month. Every one of them has left a good position and risked life, health and happiness, home, love and ambition everything that is dear to bumnnitv. to fiffht the grimiest and
most unselfish war that the nations of the earth have witnessed. They have staked all in the game of bat tie to make sti ii fSffOiad aliens free; to protect virliui.o woman hood: to put bread into
the mouths of helpless and starving fellow creatures. Little do these chivalrous heroes of our own time and generation care for the pitiful stipend that the government pays them for their services; and none but the basest and most sordid minds could think of suggesting such a propositioa. And after the war is over, its purpose" m nci. tu 1 1 liahed. the boon of liberty and
the right to live guaranteed to a people unallied to u by the ties of hlood or tmi '. t lea I associations, these unselfish
ehimpiors of justice and right will he required to return to the plow, the desk ami the workshop and spend the remainder of their lives In slavish labor to pay interest to greedy bondholders who are too cowardly to risk their own lives In front of Spanish guns. This is a true picture of the situation! The plutocratic classes cared nothing for ths destruction of our ships, insu'ts to our citizens, and the murder nd outrage of hundreds of thousand of helpless human beings. Ther OHM as nothing in comparison to the safety of "uuslnets interests." It Is the old
torv of alaverv thronch t'iesrencT of
debt; and tbe scheme or villainy comes
down to us in an unknown chain crom
the e.uly colonial period. Thus wrote Jefferson on the line of this aubject: "Virginia certainly owed 4:2.000.000 to (ireat Hi itain at the conclusion of the war. Some bsie conjectured the debt as high at 3.000.000. 1 think that state owed nearly as much as all the rest put together. Thia Is to he ascribed to peculiarities in the tobacco trade. The advantage made by the Iiritish merchauta, on the tobacco consigned to them were so enormous that they spared no means of increasing the, consignments. A powerful en
gine for this purjiose waa the means of living good prices nnd credit to the planter, till they got him more emersed in debt than he could psy. without selling his lands oi his slaves. They then reduced the prices given him for his tobacco, so that li t his shipments be ever to great, and his demand for necessaries ever so economical, they never permitted him to clear of his debt. These debts had become hereditary from father to son, for many generations, so that the planters were a species
of property, innexed to certain mer
cantile houses in London. And our
modern id u t ocrat s propose to make of
the heroes of this Bp Blah war a species of property, annexed to the llaunas, the Qagea a ad the rest of their Toltwro

In spite of the fact that W illiam J. Bryan promptly offered his servict-a to the gOttrsmeBt W hen war was declared, the republican press has been hitter in its attacks because he has not entered the military service. President McKinley ignored Ur) an's offer, as might have been expected, nnd appointed a large number of rich nobodins to military positions. Of course, a republican administration would naturally do all it could to discredit the democrat who secured 6 .500.000 votes nt the last presidential election. Now William J. f'.ryan has
begun active work recruiting a regi- j in. nt of soldiers in Nebraska, which he will command, nnd it is understood that he will ask to be sent to the front, where he and his regiment can engage in active service. It goes without snying that Bryan's motives will be maligned liv the administration press. Doubtless
every effort will be made to keep Bryan out of the army. As long as he waited for nn acceptance of his services the administration organs jibed at his delay and urged him to go to the front. Now that he has become convinced that he can expect no recognition from McKinley as a patriotic citizen, and has entered upon the independent work of a i a . S B
raising a regiment, lie win oe onuseu worse thnn ever. There is very little patriotism and a vast deal of politics in the republican conduct of war. The ndminilstration wanted peace even at the expense of dishonor, and it was forced into taking a manly stand by the loyal and patriotic people. If the republicans can secure political capital out of w ar they will consider that they have made some gain, but simply to preserve the honor of the nation, to make Cuba free Bad to revence the de
struction of the Maine would be considered small reward by them. FALLING PRICES. A l.oldlma Theory Thai l.aeka anything I.Ike Kenaonalilr llaeUlna.

The gold men say that a fall of prices harms no one, because, if the producer
has to sell more cheaply, be can aiso buy more cheaply, and thus keep even. That sounds plausible, but in practice it doesn't work. If everybody had th same amount of money, every thing fell in the same ratio aud everyone occupied precisely the same position in all aspects, then the policy would hold good. Bui if a man's wealth he entirely in the form of money and prices fall onehalf, it makes him. in effect, just twice as rich: and when such a change of re-
lation takes place somebody must have sustained a lows. If one man gets more than his share others must have less. It ie a singular circumstance that the gold men will persistently claim that a fail Of prices will do no harm because tbe losses of the sale arc offset by the gains on the p-.irchases, ai d at the same time declaring that a rise of prices is going to wart dire ruin. They ought to be shle to see that the rule which they invoke applies jus-t as well to a case of rising prices as of falling. If a person sustains a loss by being compelled to pay more for what he buy s, it would v SJB as if he should be able to keep even by getting higher prices for w hat
he sells. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

I'uipcror I'rancis Joseph, an the head of the mo-t ceremonious court in Kulope. has many curious duties to jerfom during the year. There is nothing more singular or st riking among his mujesty's regular functions than the Knster one known as the ceremony of washing the feet, The recipients of this extraordinary honor are 13 old men and the same number of aged dames. This year the ceremony of washing the feet of the old ladies was omitted, owing to the absence of tbe empress from Vienna, but the ancient dames received subs.antial compensation for this imperial neglect in the shape of money und other presents. t nine o'clock the old men were con-
Teved to the ceremonial hall in imperial equipages. Dressed in antique Ol i man costume, they took their scats at a long tabic. Bis majesty and the w hole court were at divine service w hen the lord chamberlain announced that r ". was ready. His majesty and suite entered the hall between rows of hal-
bcaliers. Diplomatists and their wives Med tiiHin the neene from the ambaaBodors' box. In the train of the emp ror were the archdukes, ministers, generals nnd ÜM household. The splendid uniforms of the Hungarian and Austrian dignitaries contrasted with the brightness of tbe ladies' dresses. The emperor, surrounded by his courtiers, walked to the table and mounted the steps. Below stood the archdukes,
behind the ehainherlain IM tue MMN de-camp. Bis majesty welcomed his guests and gave the signal for the meal. The lord high steward and the pages brought in the dishes, handed them to the monarch, who in turn placed thm before the infirm old people The ceremony of washing the feet, which followed', was more symbolic than BOtWsL t'ourt ofiicials took off the sho.s and stockings of the old men, anil placed a towel across their knees. The court chaplain intoned an "Kvangelium." the monarch handed his hat to a chamberlain, and the latter handed it to an oflieer of lower rank. W hen the woi.ls "lit coepit lavare podOB dh cipulomtn" had been reached, the monarch fell 00 Ins knees and formally washed and dried the feet of the li' men in turn. A prelate iioureil the water
over the feet and a papal house pre'ate held the ewer. At the conclusion of the ceremony the monarch walked to the lower end of the estrade and washed his hands, a page holding the ewer and tbe lord chamberlain handing him the tow. i. The iBBperlal bursar thereupon handed purse, each containing M sil
