i THE YOUNG WORLO Ah, met the songs that are sung—eh. me! the words that we say! The world is for the young, and the young must fight their way. The world is for the young. It seems scarcely a year ago Since I felt the red thrill in my heart, and its pulse* now are slow! The world is for the young. When I look around me now. And a silver-gray of hair falls down from the bent and furrowed brow. I say to myself: "I have lived so long!** and yet. not long it seemn. When I see the little ones at my knees, trying to read my dreams! I see them at my knees—I lift them to my heart. n And 1 say. and I say: “Though my locks v are gray, why should we ever part?” But ever there comes the same old song, which from earliest time was sung: “The old stay late, and the old do wrong, and the world is for the young!” Let me take this little one to my arms— let me cuddle him to my breast With the same sweet love that his mother has lulled him into rest: Let me say to him: “When the night grows dim. will you think of the songs I've sung?” And the dear, sweet eyes will answer: “The world is for the young!” What does he know of the whitened locks that fall from my bending brow? He only knows that his father's arms are close around him now! He only knows he has all 1 have—for all the world's unrest— And that, when the night is falling, he comes to his mother’s breast! He comes to his mother's breast—he asks no questions there; He knows that the shelter is sure—he thinks that the skies are fair; He never knows the thorns in the rose— that the heart with grief is wrung: From life's sweet morning until its close— the world is for the young! Let the old give way! they have had their day! the child on its mother's breast. Or the old man. bent with years and gray —It's a sweet world at the best! r For all the sighs and the weeping eyes, and the sad <>r sweet songs sui ’Neath meadowy Maytime, or wintry skies —the world is for the young! —Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution.

The air is mild at.d caressing. ht.wever. without the least sting of fr. vt. The book agent had his vest widely u, - buttoned and was gating with surprise and repr’oaeh at the two disputants. The dentist was laughing and “sicking” them on. 5 “Doc” sat and listened for several moments before he could determine the subject under debate. What do you suppose it was? Which was the greater general. Grant or Lee * No one can ever tell how these hotel ' arguments-begin, and no one ever saw one of them arrive at any conclusion and end amicably. The “lush** "as defending.the military reputation of Grant. Nut that hikin'" M*f\ much about Grant or had any decided opinions as to hi$ military genius, but because the in ckied boy had said something in favor of Lee. “If Lee had only had ns many soldiers as Grant had there wouldn't have been a thing to it,” said the freckled bjyy. *Tm just as good a union man as anyone, but 1 soy give a man credit for bein’ good.” “What was your regiment?” asked the “lush.” “Well. 1 come about as near fight in* as you did.” “dust about. Why. you wasn’t born until *Ik*c’ and I began to stop talking . ut the v. ar.” “A man can read, can't he?” “1*11 tell you just how much you know 'about l.ee. You saw his picture on a cigar box somewhere. What’s his first name?” “Robert K. Lee.” “That’s right’ That's the name of the cigar—the Robert K. Lee cigar, 1 knew that’s where you got the name.’’ “1 s'pose I don’t know any thing about the siege of Richmond?” “It seems to me I’ve heard of that, too.. Who won out there?” “Why shouldn't he win out when he bad four times as many soldiers.” “Who’s that—Lee?” “No, it wasn’t Lee.” “Well, who was it came out ahead?” “What does that prove?” “What does what prove? I'm merelv

Asking you.” t “Well. 1 s’pose everyone knows that 'jrant finally raptured Richmond.” “Who’s that? Grant?” “Ves, I’ll admit that he finally captured Richmond.” “That doesn’t prove anything, though, does it? I guess that was an accident. Things just happened to come his way. He didn’t know a thing about the military business." “Rut he had the soldiers.” “Well, that’s where he was smooth. Why didn’t Lee get some soldiers and have them there?” “He couldn’t get them.” "Well, I don't think much of a general who can’t get soldiers when he needs them. That’s part of the business—having your men there.” “What do the books sav?" “What books?” “Why the histories. They say it was great the way Lee stood.off Grant. If he’d had any array to back him up, he’d | have shown ’em.” ^ “But he was finally licked, wasn’t he?” \ “You couldn’t say he was licked. He ) had to jield to superior numbera."'

"Well, what’s tlie difference? Didn't he quit?” “Yes, he finally surrendered." “That’s right—he surrendered. What more do you want V' “What argument is there in thafkind of talk? You make me tired.” “Let me understand your side of this case. Grant and Lee came together at Richmond. That’s right, isn’t it?" “Yes. 1 s’pose you oould say they came together.” “Grant tired to capture Richmond and Lee tried to stand him off.” “Yes. but—” “Isn’t that practically right?” “It don’t tell exactly how it was, but I’ll let it go, even at that.” “Grant captured Richmond and made Lee surrender, and that’s why Lee wa9 better than Grant.” “No! That ain’t what I say. fair, be fair! If you’re goin’ to argue give me a fair show.” “Then you don’t claim that Lee was better because he got licked?” “You know I haven’t said that. What’s the use?” “But you do say that Grant wasn’t sc good because he won out?” “What 1 say—No! 1 dou’t say that at all. Here! Now this is an illustration. Would you expect George Dixon to lick Sharkey? Would you? Just answer me that.” 'What were they, confederates or union men?” “You know who they are. George Dixon tights at 120, and Sharkey tights, mebbe, at 170. l>o you think it would be right to put Dixon against Sharkey?’ “f don’t think it would be right for them to tight at all. At least, it wouldu’t be very nice of them.” “Weil, I ain’t goin’ to talk to you unless you want to be serious.” “Of course. I’m serious. Go ahead with your story.” “I say, s’pose Dixon would tight with SI arkey. Wouldn't you expect Sharkey to win?” “Sure.” t

“Y\ ell-— there! “Ant! tliat would show that Dixon b entitled’ to the money, wouldn't it?” “I didn't say so, did l ?’ “What are you trying to get at, Anyway ? You don't mean to compare Gen. Lee to a prize fighter, do you?" “No; but it's a s iuiilarcuse. Y at can't e\ poet a small man to 'lick a great, big : can you? Answer me that." “i l ::iivv y u’re gwing to catch me, but I'll >\\er it. No, you can't expect a small man to lick a big one.’’ “And you can't expect a email army t »Ik k a big army, can you?” “Here! You want to trap me. 1 can | see that." “Well, you answ er my question.'' "All right. Probably that's true. Yot | can't expect a small army to defeat £ “Then what's the use of talking?” “Norm at all. Lee's army was licked waMft.it?" “\\ hat did you admit just now?” “Never you mind w hat I admitted just row. It's my turn to ask questions of you. Lee’s army was licked, wasn’t it?” "It was small and had to give in." “That's what you really think?” “Yes, sir, that’s what 1 think.” “That's what I think, ten'. 1 can’t see 1 that there's any room for an argumeut. Y M! admit that tlrant had all the best of it.” ”No, he didn’t admit that in so many words,” said the dentist. “What he means is that Lee showed great general* ship in standing off. the enemy as long as in* did.” “That's w hat I've been saving,” remarked the freckled boy. "Why, I’ll leave it to ‘ike’ Horne, here, if 1 ain't right. Don't you think Lee was the greatest general of the two?” "He ally, gentlemen, I don't care to express a preference," said “Doe,” w ith a bland smile. “Each was a military in ids w ay. and each has written 1: - name on the - ah—imperishable tablets of fame. I met both of them-—Lien. Lee before the war and Clen. tirant daring the campaign of b>t*$. Although both of them had the reputation of havng cold and distant temperaments, I must say that they showed me very cordial treatment. Therefore, I admire them, not only as soldiers, but as American gentlemen, and now that they have gone to their long rest and their efforts in behalf of the causes which they espoused have passed Into history, 1 hardly feel that it would be proper to enter into any dispute as to their relative merits.” The book agent sighed and repeated, softly: “The union of lakes, the union of lands. The union of sthtes none can sever: The union of hearts, the union of hands. And the fia* of our union forever!” “Just the same, Lee was a great general,” said the freckled boy.—Chicago Itecord.

Ml* Honor Wo* I ntourhpd. Many stories are told of the. wittj efforts made by a certain English judge, who died a few wars ago, and among them is one which proves that hi* wit did not desert him in the most trying circumstances, One>day as he was walking down the steps which led from his town house he slipped, lost his footing, j and fell with many thumps and bumps the bottom. A passerby hurried up to the judge as the latter slowly rose to his feet. “1 trust your honor is not seriously hurt?” he said, in anxious inquiry. “My honor is not at all hurt," replied the judge, with a rueful expression. “but my elbows and knees are, I can assure you.” An Idenl Spot. “Yes,” *aid the official of the gas company. who had just returned ofter a prolonged vacation. **I have been to the laud of the midnight sun.

GOLD AND SILVLR. tom Facts About Production and Values. The annual report of the director of the mint, which has just been submitted to the secretary of the treasury, shows that of the silver bullion purchased under the Sherman silver law of 1890 115,438,461 fine ounces remained in the treasury at the beginning of the present fiscal year, July 1. This bullion cost $104,336,312. If coined it would make 149,261,928 silver dollars and the gain or seigniorage to the government would be $44,925,616. If it were sold at the present market price it would fetch only $06,377,114 and the government would lose $37,959,198. Yet there are those who would have the government sell this bullion at the market price, which would be still further depressed by offering so large a mass for sale. The difference,to the government resulting from sale instead of coinage would be at least $.83,000,000. Seeing that this bullion is now being made into coin at the rate of more than $20,000,000 a year without harm to anyone, it would seem to be foolish in the extreme to sell the bullion at such an enormous ' loss. The government is not likely to have money “to burn” at such a rate ! very soon. The whole quantity of silver bullion | purchased under the Sherman law was ' 168,674,682.53 fine ounces. The total ; cost was $155,931,002.25, giving an average cost of 92.44 cents per ounce. Of the j whole quantity purchased 53.172,630 ! ounces had been coined into 68.748,477 | silver dollars down to the end of the last j fiscal year, and the seigniorage or profit j to the government was $17,216,322. The j bullion still uncoined is represented in ! circulation by Sherman notes of face value equal to the cost of the bullion. At last year’s rate of coinage this bultion will all be coined in a little more than seven years and Sherman notes will be a thing of the past except in

j cumneis ar.u as pocitei kwjw. ! The press synopsis of Director Preston’s report does not give the production of gold from our mints during the last fiscal year, hut it shows that in the i original deposits at our mints during that year was domestic gold bullion to the value of $60,018,239. This does not necessarily mean bullion produced from our mines during the year, but there is not much doubt that our output , is now at that rate. The largest yield in the history of the country w as $65,000,000 in the calendar year 1853. when the California output ; was at its maximum. In each of the years 1852 and 1854 the output was$60,- ; 500,000. During the 23 years from 1873 to 1S95, inclusive, the average yield of our mines was only $36,116,000 annually and the largest output in that period I was $51,200,000 in 1878. The director estimates the world’s ' product of gold for the calendar year j 1896 at $204*96,600 and of silver, coining value, $215,242,700; commercial j value, $109,406,800. The gold product was the largest on record. The world’s | record was broken, in fact, in 1893. j when the output was $157,287,600, and since then there has been a rapid increase. The increase last year over the * year before was not great, but there is | every prospect that the current year will witness another large increase, not Dnly from the new Yukon fields, but from our western states. The South \frican fields, however, do not seem to be increasing their output to the extent •xpected, though they are keeping their contribution well up to the front. Considering that the average yield of the world’s mines was less than $100,500,000 a year from 1SS1 to 1885 the present output is piost gratifying. The coinage value of the world’s output of silver was less last year than the year before, when it was $226,000,000, and less even than the year before that, when it was $216,892,000. Put it is still enormously greater than it ever was until ten years ago. An average of $100,000,000 a year was never reached until the period of 1876 to 1^80, nor was in average of $50,000,000 ever reached until the period 1866 to 1870. During the first ton years of the century the average was about $36,200,000 a year, but from 1821 to 1830 it was only a little more than $19,000,000. During all that time, however, the world was producing fully three times as much silver as gold, coining value. As a matter of fact, according to the best information obtainable. the world’s output of both gold and silver was comparatively very small for centuries before the great discovery of gold in California and people had some reason to complain that the volume of metallic money did not keep pace with the world’s commercial needs, which increased enormously as the settling of this western hemisphere progressed. But now the output of both metals is so great that we would not have much need for paper currency if we would make use of both metals the world over. —Chicago Chronicle.

-The republican party, as it exists today, is the same party in purpose, in the bulk of its membership, as was the party that stood out in resistance to the spread of slavery, that elected Abraham Lincoln to be president, that took the lead in preserving1 the union of the states from destruction. The change has been only in its organization. Its organization has brought the money power to bear upon elections; it has created boss-ships in the greater states of the union; it has subjected the party in those states to the rule of one man, who has governed it in the spirit of a despot, and has ma'de it the instrument for the corruption of public morality.—Boston Herald. -It is stated that President McKinley is already engaged in the preparation of his next message. There is probably no truth in this. At this time Mark Hanna is really too busy to de▼ote the attention to the subject that it will require.—Peoria Herald. -If the nation’s prosperity really depends upon Mr. Hanna's election, then the nation must be in a pretty bad war.—Chicago Chronicle.

OFFICE PROSTITUTION. Hltk*Baade<l Method* Employed t* Elect Hanna. There seems to be no limit to the arrogance of the Hannaites. Never in the history of American politics have such high-handed methods been employed in an attempt to elect a man to office as are now being used in Ohio to send the republican boss to the senate. And the | pity of it is that these efforts have the j hearty approval qf the president of the ! United States. Mr. McKinley has not only supinely | submitted to the pension bureau being j prostituted at the behest of Hanna by having a branch agency established in Ohio at this time and for the avowed | purpose of expediting the work of the j bureau to help Hanna; he has not only made no sign of protest against the j j grossest violation of the civil service j rules that has been committed since ! | those rules were formulated, and per- | mitted Hanna to dragoon every employe of the government into his political service; not only has he entered no I objection to members of his cabinet : agreeing to desert their desks and dig- ! nity and go to Ohio to plead Hanna's ’ cause, but the president has signified | his intention of quitting the white j house for a week in order that he may j godowntoOhioduring the closing week of the'*ras^)aign to the end that his presence may influence votes for Hanna, j And now the country is further dis- j graced by the spectacle of its mail service being glutted with documents franked by republican members ofcon- | gress to Ohio voters, pleading with them to send to the senate an indi- | vidual who during his brief experience in that exalted body showed no capacity for statesmanship and only a low cunning by which he could protect in the taritf schedules certain interests which contributed heavily to the corruption fund he used a year ago in the election of the pliable and affable gentleman who is now nominally president of the country. The disgrace does not end with the I misuse of the mails. It extends further I and discolors the very source of clean j and efficient administration. Scores of j mail carriers are being put on the forces of various large cities in Ohio, ostensibly for the purpose of handling j the increased volume of mail. These carriers were not subjected to the ex- ! animation prescribed by. the rules gov- | eruing the post office department, but j | appear to have been selected solely with the view of giving employment to j men who can be of benefit to llauua in his present great need. Where this prostitution of the public service will stop can be predicted only by those who know the necessities and exigencies of Hanna's campaign. Certain it is that the president will not raise his voice to call a halt.—St. Louis ltepublic.

THE STEAL CONFIRMED. Facta Which Condemn Republicans in Office. Mark nanua declares that he knows nothing1 about the Pacific railroad steal. Foraker comes more directly to the defense of the administration. He says that the steal was arranged under Cleveland. Neither these defenses is worth anything. The facts remain, and they are damning. ► It is proposed to rob the government of $20,000,000. The McKinley administration consents. The fact, if it is a fact, that a former administration prepared the way for the steal does not in the least degree excuse Mr. McKinley or his attorney-general for permitting the robbery. The Union Pacific railroad owes the government $33,000,000. A gang of rob- ! ber speculators propose to rob the j treasury of $20,000,000. They have arranged that by paying $33,000,000 for the government’s claim they shall get | the road and all its properties and fran- ; chises, and that the government shall ! thereafter have no further claim upon anything. Other men stand ready to buy the road for $20,000,000 more, thus paying the whole of the government’s claim. But > the attorney-generaWrformerly the con- j fidential attorney and executor of one j of the great Pacific railroad thieves—officially assents to an ingeniously contrived arrangement which practically renders it impossible for anybody to bid for the road except this bankers* pool. That is to say. he assents to a plan which has been devised solely to enable this syndicate to pocket $20,000,000 of the government’s money. Mr. McKenna can stop this steal if he wants to. He has only to order a postponement of the sale until such time as rival bidders can make offers for the property. Mr. McKinley can compel him to this course if he wishes to do so. They do not wish to do so. Why? What is the moving impulse? Why does not the administration desire to protect the treasury? Why does it favor those whose plan is to loot the nation and make private property of its rights? Is there any hisrtory of a campaign contribution involved? And in the name of all that is rational, how does any error or any wrong-do-ing of the Cleveland administration excuse its successors in confirming the steal.—X. Y. World.

-The silver campaign of 1896, as compared with the silver campaign of J900, was a» a gentle zephyr compared with a great cyclone; or as a chunk of ice compared with a burning cool. There will be a campaign in 1900 that will raise the great Ameriean eagle clear off its feet and send it on a screaming victory.—Illinois State Register. -Financier J. Pierpont Morgan will get $6,000,000 for successfully engineering the Union Pacific deal. And that's just one item of the expense to the people caused by electing a slush fund president.—St. Louis Republic. -One thing is certain—if Hanna is having the twitters over the opposition to him in Ohio, McKinley is "shaking" in sympathy with his trusted manager.—Boston Globe.

L9OKS VERY THREATENING. ludlaus Gathering iu L trge Number*and Settlers Greatly Alarmed. s Denver, Col., Oet. l>0.—The game wardens for Colorado yesterday received the following dispatch, dated October 2$, from Game Warden Little, at Meeker: "ludians reported gathering’ in large numbers on the Colorado side of the Blue mountains. Settlers g "catty alarmed. Affairs look very threatening.” Immediately upon the receipt of the dispatch Gov. Uadams called upon Geu. Otis aad held a consultation on what to do iu the emergency. From the tenor of the despatch it appears that the Utes left in I'tau are rushing eastward to the assistance of theii brethren.

At tirst the accouuts received from the outbreak were confusing, and tended to show that the wardeus were tired upon by the Indians. Later de* veiopeiueuts, however, go to show that the game wardeus were the aggressors. The following report was received from Fort Duchesne, bated Jauseu, October 88; ‘'Frank Fa riel, Utah Indiau, states that live Indians were in the party attacked by 25 game wardens near Bear Kiver four days ago. Two bucks (Uncle Lewis brothers aud Ciuarest) were killed. Two squaws wouuded. Wardens caught one Indian a little distauce from eamp aud said they were going to kill him. Indians did not understand English. Wardens attacked them in camp. Think oue warden killed. All ludiaus corniug this way. Had no other trouble. Expect to meet them to-morrow. There may be others in mountains who kuow nothing of this affair.” Gen. Otis says that the trouble in Koutt county will soon eud, as the troops will escort the ludiau* back to their reservation. Statii Auditor Lowell received a telegram yesterday from his sou, who lives on a ranch near where the tight occurred, saying that six ludiaus were killed aud one game warden wouuded Monday.

The Steamer 1’ortUml Brians I’Msrugen auil CiuUl from A l.*»ka. Seattle, Wash., Cot 30. — The •Warner Portland arrived yesterday morning from Su Michaels, Alaska,with Bl'io,000 in gold belonging to tiie North American Transportation & Trading Co. The passeugers on board the Portland were Charles H. Hamilton, mauager of the American Trading & Transportation Co.; Eli Gage and wife, and Miss Helen Heaiy, of Chicago; W. A. Milligan, of San Francisco; Horace McClure, of Seattle, W. A. Steel, of Seattle, and 25 carpenters and longshoremen in the employ of the North American Trading .^Transportation Co. Mr. Milligan was a member of the ill-fated Mare Island expedition from San Francisco. The Portland left St. Michaels October IS, stopping only at Dutch Harbor. She brought down confirmatory news of the release of the river steamers Alice, Merwin and Mare Island, which were caught in the ice in the Behring sea, off the mouth of the Yukon. The ice floes broke about three weeks ago, allowing the steamers to proceed on their way up the riTer. A11 the river steamers operating in the Yukon had left St. Michaels, and the Portland was the last of the ocean vessels to leave. Abont 150 white people will winter at St. Michaels. Work on the four river boats of the North American Transportation and Trading Co. was progressing rapidly at Dutch Harbor and they will be completed by the time the river opens in the spring. BAY CONFERENCE SUSTAINED K«T. Charles O. Brown, Still Stand See* Chicago, Oct. 30.—Rev. Charles Q. Brown, D. D., still stands suspended/ from the ministry. Bay conferences was declared yesterday by the, mutual council of the Congregational church, to be justified in in its action in suspending him.
