THE SILVER DOLLAR.

They talk about "sound money," and they sigh and preach and sing; But the "soundest" of all money ia the dollar with a ring! The dollar that is brighter than silver sunshine's gleam; With a jingle that is sweeter than "the music of a dream!" "Jingle, jingle!" So it goes! 'Tis a solace for our woes, And it makes a fellow happy. While its rhythmic music flows. They talk about "sound money," but the soundest note of all Is the tintinnabulation in a silver dollar's fall! How it gives the world its color! how it makes the winter spring! And the whole creation dance to a silver dollar's rin.s! "Jingle, jingle!" So it goes! 'Tis a solace for our woes. And the winds grow sweet with rausie, And the world with honey flows! They talk about "sound money." Let the silver dollars chime. And the whole world will go singing "down the corridors of time!" They gleam with nooday splendor; they are suns serene and bright, They 'make splendid every morning, and they glorify the night! "Jingle, jingle," so it goes! How the silver soothes our woes! The world rolls round in music. And we triumph o'er our foes! Atlanta Constitution. International Agreement. There is one result projected I rominently from the Memphis convention, ami it is a result tint will be welcomed by bimetallism, because it clears a way the cluds which some of the gohlbtigs have been attempting to place around the pending controversy. The convention declared plainly for the gold standard, unless there shall be complete international co-operation for bimetallism. This ought to put an end to the silly talk with which straddlers have been accustomed to conceal their thoughts concerning a fuller use of silver, etc. The question is simply whether the United States shall continue to endure the evils arising from the single standard until such time as the creditor nations of Europe believe that it has been sucked of all the lifeblood it can afford to lose, or restore independently the system of finance under which it saw its greatest development and prosperity. The resolutions adopted by the Memphis convention are designed to have DfTect in a section of the country where the sentiment in favor of free coinage is admitted to predominate. They are therefore as little outspoken as thcy lare bo in the direction of the gold standard, but they nevertheless declare unequivocally for a perpetuation of the present system until there has been an international agreement. This is precisely what the Nows warned the country against the time the proposal for a conference came before Congress. The design of the gold men is to admit that the free coinage of silver in itself is desirable, but that it must be attained through a conf erence or not at all. They do not dare to affront the free coinage feeling outright, and so they would lead it into the cul-de-sac of a conference, where it would remain ineffective until after the election of another goldbug President. Hut the franker advocates of the single standard do not attempt to hide their intentions under smooth phrases. The Philadelphia Times in an editorial viciously attacked the principles of bimetallism, and ustHl this expression: "International agreements and kindred delusions," in reference to those moderate persons who honestly believe that an international agreement must be waited for. The New York Times. In an editorial a few days since, used these words: "When the bimetallists themselves can agree upon a ratio it may and may not be found possible for the commercial powers to discuss it. Until such an agreement is reached no conference -will amount to anything." In the face of these expressions from representative organs of the gold sentiment, what is the us? of silver men allowing themselves to be led astray by suggestions of a conference? When this country restores the unlimited coinage of silver there will be little time lost in coming to in international agreement, and that is the only way to bring it about. There Can IJc but Two Sides. When it comes to the final round up on the silver question there can be but two sides, and those who are now groping around between free coinage and "every dollar as gorwl as any other dollar" qualifications, and gold monometallism and "international bimetallism," will have to choose which side they will take. Free coinage means that one dollar shall be as good as another dollar, and for that reason it means the honest dollar. International bimetallism means the continued supremacy of tho gold dollar and nothing else. When we shall come to the forks of the road the question for every voter to decide will be, the free coinage of silverwhich means unqualified bimelallismor gold monometallism. The preponderance of the silver sentiment which is admitted throughout the West has come from reading. The people have been studying the subject. This fact is susceptible of proof from the amount of literature bearing on the question that has been printed and sold. The leading phraseology adopted by the leaders of the gold interest Is responsible for much of the opposition to bimetallism. And this strength of the gold forces comes from the unthinking, who are satisfied to "go it .blind" so long as the trade mark of their faith bears the stamp of respectability. When the ways are once divided on the two lines the only routes that can

be taken when the Issue shall be joined for the final battle at ihe polls there will be no middle ground and every voter will have to be known as either for or against rehabilitation of silver on the footing established when the coinage of American money was first provided for. The matter of ratios will have to be settled afterward. That is a question width will have to be left to the discretion of the Congress that will be called upon to deal with the subject in all its many details. Kansas City Journal.

Claims of Silver Advocates, tleo. G. Merrick, President of the Colorado State Silver League, says the silver advocates may state their claims as follows: Equal rights to silver and gold, with free coinage to both at a ratio not greater than 1G to 1, without discrimination in favor or against either coin in its monetary uses, and to do this without waiting for the assent of any foreign power. To do this will be to do justice, to restore the laws under which the nation prospered. It is to leave the control of the volume of metallic money to automatic regulation through the mints, and to the energy, skill and enterprise of the American ieople expended in commerce, manufacturing, agriculture and mining. It is to give to the people a volume of full debt-paying money primary money without the intervention of banks. It is to increaso the general prosperity, not of any class but of all classes of people if such exist. The strongest advocates of gold monometallism in Europe admit that immense prosperity would follow such action by the American people through their congress. And, while the American advocates of true bimetallism of this country wage no war against the productive industries of any European nation, they do claim that with nations as with individuals an intelligent selfishness and self-protection is necessary, especially so in a republic, where the people are the origin of all power, the ultimate source of all authority. He Needs Iijjht. Speaking at Louisville, Mr. Carlisle said that silver mining continues to be "a most profitable industry." Ho should come to the region where silver is mined and receive light. He would learn several things. The only silver mines now being opera tea are a very few in which there are exceptionally rich bodies of ore, a few which carry gold In paying quantities in addition to silver, and those which produce ores valuable for fluxing gold ores. - He would discover that there is no prospecting being done for silver mines and that when present producers aro worked out there will be no others to take their places. He would find, further, that whatever of profit remains in silver mining is because of the fall in the price of food and other supplies in accord with the fall in silver. Were general prices at the old level hardly a silver mine could be worked. The farmer and the "hand" in the Eastern woolen and cotton factories are bearing the burden. The Western metal miner has too high intelligence to work for the wages paid to tiie ignorant importations that toil in Eastern coal and iron mines. A high order of skill is required in his labor, lie turns to gold, but the farmer, the factory hand and the coal and iron miner of the East must accept gold standard wages. The people of the mining States suffer less than those whom Mr. Carlisle addresses. Denver News. A Candid Admission. The Cincinnati Comnu ivial-Cazctte, one of the most prominent of the gold standard advocates, makes this candid admission: We have no gift of phophecy; nor are we the seventh son of a seventh son. Rut we are quite willing to go upon record as saying that, in our opin. ion, there is going to be such a campaign on the silver question in the near future as the Eastern part of the country never saw. The man that thinks Bland is a fool, and Teller a chatterer, and Warner a babbler, has never read their speeches, or thought of answering them. Their great error lies, it seems to us, in the assumption that the United States can of and by itself keep silver and gold on a par. The course they are pursuing tends inevitably and certainly, in our judgment, to drive this country on to a silver bisis. Well, that is the last thing we want. We would rather have gold alone than that. There will be plenty of time to discuss these grave subjects, -and we are not going to be led into argument just now. We merely state beliefs. We hail with profound satisfaction the new bimetallic movement in Germany. It seems to contain a hope and promise of sticees. The real friends of silver those who want to see it brought up to gold, those who want to see silver circulating at par with gold the world over should do all they can to extend help and sympathy and support to the German movement. HooHiera for Silver. A correspondent of tho Indianapolis Sentinel asserts that the fact is a very large majority of the people of Indiana demand the free coinage of silver as primary money by the United States without awaiting for international bimetallism or any other delay or device by which the present advantages enjoy, ed by the moneyed classes can be continued, perpetuated or augmented. Turin Is Not in It. President Andrews, of Drown University, one of the representatives of the United States in the last monetary confererce, recently said that "neither of the great political parties can afford to ignore the silver issue in the next presidential campaign. It will overshadow tho tariff and cast it in tho background. Danger Is none the less real because It happens to be far off.

DEATH TflEIR DOOM.

THIRTEEN PILGRIMS TO ST. ANNE'S SHRINE PERISH. Second Section of an Kxcursion Train Plows Into the First Pullman Cars Telescoped Wheat Drops Five Cents in Cliicaco-Corntll Wins. Was a Fatal Crash. At Craig's Road station, Quebec, a pilgrim excursion on the Gr ind Trunk road from Shcrbrooke was bring run in two sections. The first section stopped at Craig's Road to cross an uptrain, when the second section ran into it, the engine plowing through the Pullman and firstclass car. Thirteen persons -.vera killed outright and over thirty hurt. Ten passenger cars and the engine were wrecked. The pilgrims were en route to the famous shrine of St. Anne de Ilaupre, where every summer large numbers of sick and crippled gather to invoke the saint to cure them of their diseases. The trains were made up of residents from Shcrbrooke, Magog, Windsor Mills, and surrounding parishes. The forward train was making good time, having left itiehmond at 10 o'clock the night before. On the rear of this train was a Pullman, in which were the priests and others in charge of the party, and it was in this car that most of the loss of life occurred. The first train reached Craig's Koad, which is fourteen miles west of Levis, about 3 o'clock and stopped at the tank to take water. Precautions were taken and the semaphore thrown to danger against the following train. Only the trainmen were out and a bo it, attending to theh duties. The Pullman in the rear was wrapped in silence and the sleepers were unaware of the terrible fate "hat was rushing upon them. Suddenly there was a great crash. The second train coming at full speed dashed into the rear Pullman of the first section. So great was the impetus of the colliding train that the engine embedded itself in the palace car, and the latter lunged forward 'and partly telescop ed the firstclass car iii mediately in front. Every berth in the Pullman was wrecked and some of the occupants who were Killed never knew what Happened to 'hem. They died sleeping. Others awoke to their horrible surroundings and position, maimed, bleeding, and bruised, conscious of little else but th agony that racked them. The cries of the wounded and the moans of the dying, and the outpouring of passengers from cars that were aot badly damaged, nnd the hurrying forms of the uninjured trainmen with their flickering lanterns," all combined to make a sight seldom exceeded in its horror. CORNELL THE WINNER. Sensational Result of the Long-Kx pectcd International Boat Kace. All the flower of England's nobility, society and college folk saw Cornell defeat the crack English eight, the Leandors, without rowing against them in the first day's race for the Grand Challenge cup of the Henley regatta. The Leanders were not ready when the gun was fired and the Cornells started over the course alone. The winners of the two other races for the Grand Challenge cup were y7P m

the Eton and Trinity eights. The Trinity crew beat the London crew by six lengths, while the Eton boys came across the finish linn with a quarter of a length of clear water showing between its stern and the prow of the Thames boat. Every good American expected that Cornell would win. Every good American is sorry that it lias won in form nnd manner as related by cable dispatches. Not that Cornell is to blame for the outcome; the American crew vas iady to start when the umpire, a Briton, gave the word "Go;" the British crew did not start, and the Americans von without opiiosition. It is a barren victory. Obviously, the Leander crew was in a state of jK)or discipline, for in answer to the umpire's question, "Beady V" one of its members said "Yes!" and Cornell had got undT way in obedience to the co'amand "Go!" before Leander's x.v.vain had countermanded his comrade's "Yes!" The grand challenge cup now is a trophy of Cornell, but it is a trophy won by misadventure of the Leander -rev, rather than of conquest. The expectation was of victory for Cornell; its crew had made better time thin that of the Leandor in trial rowing trips over tho course; its style of rowing was considered better by competent judges. The best thing that can be done is to row the race over i gain. The grand challenge cup is the .nest coveted of rowing prizes. It can be contested over only by amntetrs -vho nr members of a university, or of a public school affiliated to n, university, ir are members of her Majesty's army er navy. The cup is held by the winning crew until it is defeated by another. It was believed in America that Cornell would capture the cup. It has captured it, but under existing circumstances it may be xcll that it shall capture it again. PANIC IN THE PIT. Wheat Drops Five Centn n Eusliel Miel Kxcitlnu Scenes. Tuesday was the most nervous and exciting day the Chicago Board of Trade has seen since the farmers eithie into town some weeks ago and nought wheat up from C2 cents to S'2:)i cents. Wheat declined 5 cents, and many an excited man chased his fortune to the brink of the wheat pit to see it sink out of sight. And these crazy bulls, says a Chicago dispatch, brought their grappling hooks In the shape of reported damage to Northwest crops by hot winds, and threitening frosts, etc., and dragged the pit, but they couldn't find their gold. Surely enough, it seemed to be a bottomless pit. The bulls were never in it at nil. The bears ran the whole show from the start. Wheat orened up at 07 5-Sc, and in three

or four minutes had sunk to CCVic. This

was a creat surprise to the bull element, which hoped for a firmer narket. The bulls tried to talk, but were choked off. A week ago when the market was hanging fire they were somebody, for they could frighten the bears with a little telegram telling Low wheat was growing into the hock or something of hat kind, but Tuesday morning their chinch 1 ugs were dead, their hot winds dnln't blow, and their frost melted. If the bulls were disappointed when the price of September went to GCVic they were doomed to greater disappointment later. They smiled when ajittle rally to GTe was made, but that market was only fooling them when it went up there. It soon turned around and came down hill lickity-cut again, and sold down to C4 cents. But this wasn't the bottom. Along toward the close of the session the price simply leaped over the 05s and closed nt (JUV.o. In New York the speculative pyrotechnics at the Produce Exchange were dazzling to both the bulls and the bears in wheat, and both factions were equally astonished. A drop of 5 cents a bushel made the hair of the bulls stand on end and it made the bears blink. That makes S cents in two days. The bulls thought the course of prices altogether too much like tobogganing. The sudden tumble the greatest in years caused a sjreat deal of excitement and interest in Milwaukee. The fact that wheat closed at 02 5-8 cents represented a drop within twenty-four hours that was calculated to create almost a panic WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN. Signal Service Report on Tcnperature nnd Crop Conditions The official crop mid weather bulletin for the past week shows the average to be three to six degrees cooler than the average throughout the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Heavy rains have fallen in Oklahoma, Missouri and the northern portion of the Gulf region. Through the Southern States the average fall lias been from one to two inches more than the usual amount. The lake region and upper Mississippi Valley had practically no rain. Nebriska and the Dakotas suffered materially from drouth. Corn has made very rapid growth during the week and. except in Michigan, the general outlook for this crqp is excellent. Arkansas reports the largest crop in years, and in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri the outlook is most promising. The general outlook for spring wheat continues most flattering. Winter wheat harvest is practically completed nnd thrashing continues general. Some damage in shock has been caused In Maryland by heavy rains; also in Missouri and Kansas. Tobacco is growing well in Kentucky, but the crop ii- uneven. In Maryland it is in excellent condition and in Ohio it is improved, except in the central part of the State, where it is suffering from drouth. From the Central and Southwestern States the reports are as follows: Illinois Last week very favorable except in southern countit-s; vheat and rye thrashing general, yield light, quality poor; oats harvest completed in southern nnd progressing in central counties; straw short, yield light; corn growiag finely and generally laid by; haying continues with very light crop. Minnesota AH late sown crops and grasses injured in south half by drouth now intensifying and spreading; rainfall in north half ample; haying general; barley, winter wheat and rye harvest begun; corn growth good; wheat prospects continue exeellent. South Dakota Above normal temperature, high southerly winds, two ex?eedingIy warm days and .mly scattered showers, mostly light, have been injurious to small grain and grasses over a num.of counties; corn grew rapidly and potatoes did well; rain needed generally. Nebraska Cool, dry week; wheat, and rye harvest has progressed rapidly in southern counties and thrashing commenced, the yield is less than half a crop; oats ripening fast; ::orn has made good growth and is in fine condition, some early planted tasseling. Kansas Cool, cloudy week, with excessive rains, have generally stopped iarvesting ami thrashing and injured grain in shock, but has been bonetk-ial to all other crops and furnished abundant stock water; corn generally tasseling and beginning to silk and never more promising; tlax. fruit, pastures ami potatoes fine. Iowa Weather favorable except serious need of rain in some eastern counties; oats harvest begun, with prospects ot' heavy yield; corn has made rapid advancement and other crops are in satisfactory condition. Michigan Showers over upper peninsula which were poorly distributed; in lower peninsula there has practically been no rain, and drouth continues with great severity; hay and wheat very ioor crops, and oats will give :i light yield; corn is just beginning to show effects of drouth; if rain cönies soon it can yet help corn, iotatoes, pastures and gard.ms. Ohio Favorable for thrashing wheat and hay harvesting; light yields reported; corn, oats, late potatoes nnd tobacco have improved in growth from rains, except over middle section, where drouth retards growth; pasturage very poor, and water becoming scarce. Indiana Warm, fair weather favorable to harvesting; end of week favorable to corn and potatoes, and both crops are in finocondition and growing rapidly; thrashing wheat and rye continues; yield better wheat and rye continues; yield better than expected in localities; haying continues; crop poor. Wisconsin The past week has been hot nnd dry; "haying about half completed; rye nnd barley harvest in progress, nnd the crop is generally good; ?ora nnd itatoes unaffected by drouth, rnd growing rapidly; outs promise u. good crop; pastures very poor. There is every reason to believe that if Howard Gould has promised to marry Miss Clemmon he will do It. That clrl li a protege of Buffalo Bill

WHAT IS A LETTER?

Some Points Not Generally Known About Foieiun Mails. Most people have supposed that anything sealed against inspection and delivered to the iKjtoflice constituted in effect a "letter," which at the regulation rate of 2-cent postage per ounce the mail service would be obliged to forward to its destination. So far as the domestic service is concerned, this supposition may be correct, and would seem to be Implied by the wording of official decisions, which declare that "all matter sealed or otherwise closed against inspection is also of the first class." But with the foreign mail service, at least, the condition is different. A provision in the postal treaty specifies that letters "in their usual and ordinary form" are to be forwarded at a given rate. Just what constituted this "usual and ordinary form" has not till now been defmed ami oiiicially declared, and this is the way in which the definition was brought out: A Hoston architect offennl at the p:;tothYe in that city a sealed roll addressed to the Commissioner of Patents at Ottawa, Canada, on which the proper amount of postage, ac letter rates, had been paid. The clerk in charge of the window declined to receive the roll as a letter, and on the matter being referred to him. Postmaster Coveney decided that the term letter is to be construed to mean and embrace sealed packeges consisting of an envelope of any size, but Hat, as is the usual letter. The objector did not think that this ruling and definition of a letter was correct, and gave his opinion that a letter "was a package containing personal matter of no salable value." The matter being referred to the authorities at Washington for decision, the superintendent of foreign mails in due time forwarded a decision embodying the joint opinions of Canadian and American postal authorities, to the effect that "the term letter, in its usual and ordinary form, is to be construed to embrace sealed packages consisting of an envelope of any size, but of the usual letter shape, and its contents; but that rolls or a package not inclosed in an 'envelope,' as the word envelope Is generally used, cannot be considered to be 'a letter in its usual and ordinary form. A sealed package in the form of a roll is, therefore, not entitled to transmission in the mails exchanged between the United States and Canada; and your oflice was correct in declining to receive the sealed roll mentioned." This would seem to settle the matter as to what constitutes a letter within the meaning of our postal treaties. The Paper World. I'rouilft's Dust. The late Mr. Ireland, in a posthumous paper published in the Contemporary Peview, relates this anecdote of Mr. Froude, whose face did not lend itself well to sculpture: lie and I were just adjourning to tho library, when he stopped a moment, and pointing out a bust on a bookcase, the center of three full-sized and most dignified representations in marble, he said: "Imust not forget to show you the very latest addition to my treasures. What do you think of it?" I locked up, and, with my head full of the galleries and museums I had been lately visiting, said: "It is a very terrible head, and most repellent." "Yes," he said, "I agree with you. Now, whose should you say it is?" I, being ignorant about these things, answered vaguely: "Xero, perhaps, or one o the old Borgias." Mr. Froude laughed and said: "Try again; you ought to know it." "It's a horrid-looking thing," I said, whoever it is." "Atrocious!" said Froude, emphatically. "Is it not? Well, I'm sorry to say it's a bust of myself,, just presented to me by Sir Edgar Poehm. Very kind of him, wasa't it? And now, of course, I have to stick it up there in a very prominent place and show it to all my friends. Pleasant, eh?" "Poehm doesn't see you with my eyes," said I. "It doesn't remind me of you In the least." Then he laughed heartily and said: "That's well. I didn't think I was quite such a ruülnn as that!" Lincoln and the Highway. The following is a current story of Abraham Lincoln, which, if it is not true as it probably is not is at least entitled to a place in legendary literaure: Lincoln was once riding along a lonely road when an Ill-looking man, who held a cocked revolver, suddenly faced him. "What do you want, my friend?" Lincoln asked. "I am going to shoot you," answered the man. 'Well," said Lincoln, "I don't mind being killed, but I should like to know your reasons." "I once vowed," said the man, "that If I ever met a man homelier than I am, I would shoot him." Lincoln looked critically at his assailant for a minute, and then said: "Well, if I am any homelier than you are, then for pity's sake shoot." Klectrio Power in Mine. At the Eureka colliery, Windorist, Pa., where 11,000 tons of bituminous coal are turned out every month, there Is not a single mule dragging out Its gloom' life in the long underground works. Electricity has replaced animal power to good advantage to the mine operators and to the mules as well. The World's Language. Statistics prove that nearly two-thirds of all the letters carried bj the postal services of the world are written, sent to, and read by English-speaking people.
