Carlisle, IHCke Smith, Eckels 'and other administration men talk sound money 'whenever they iget a chance, Ibut tlhey do not talk to -convert 'ReipusbTJcanis. l'-t 'is 'in Itihe'Ir oiwn iparty that the greatest slump towards free coinage •has taken «plaee. There has '.been no declaration in any 'Repulblican tstate platiform that gives any encourafgement to 'the pronounced free silver people, tout it wi'l l'take very hard woi^k to- ge't the ODetnocrats 'in line for the Chieatgo (convention. The Kepnlblioans wii'll h'aive (plenty oif time to call attention to the failure of Wisconsin and the demand Tfor consistent -protection and reciprocity, jwhibh are questions to 'be decided,

omee'ifor all.

The people who have followed their leaders and taken their opinions from them those that 'have been guided fty Pettigrew of South Dakota and Hansfrrough cf North Dakota, must feel as if they are in the air. 'But the faot waS the people were not guided 'by Pettigretw antd li'ansbrough as much as they appeared to be and now those leaders are following the ipeople and are willing to vote for sound money. Instead of leading public sentiment in the Dakotas they are whipped into the traces. Like them, hundreds o-f others, wanting an Issue to talk a/bout, to pake themselves conspicuous, to break into office, have taken up the cheap money cry, underrating the good sense and independence of the people, as they revamped or rehashed the old greenback fallacies for modern use. The 16 to 1 independent free coinage-of silver is a waning issue and many a leader would be glad to drop off at some soft place, with the explanation that he wished to do as the people wished.

A GOOD USE FOR CAPITAL. Provisions for the traffic of great cities involve tremendous enterprises And the use of great hoards of accumulated cap'ital. If there were no accumulations looking for investment the multitudes in the cities that want to get out and the crowds th'at wish to get in would have a hard -time of it. The terminals in Chicago, New York, Boston and London represent hundreds of millions of money.

A railway system in Central Englapd recently raade a1 jump of 112 miles and landed in London. 'as it were. It had 'to buy 46 acres of city property, on 44 of rhlch will be built the largest passenger »tai?on ic. :he world. To get in and out af the station the trains will run over

Jour track's, through as many single vrch tunnels, for 4^ miles. The IS miles tunnel will ctfst about $12,000,000. The 112 miles extension will cost in all about $35,000,000. We do not know how the money is to "be raised, but, probably If the New York Central, or Pennnsylvatnia, was going to do something of the

It may 'he 'that Carlisle said in a speech in 1878 that "demonetization of silver is the most gigantic crime of this or any other age," and1 would ultimately en-toil more misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilence, and famines that ever ocourred in the his.tory of the world." If he did say it Ife has noJw not so much to reproach himself for in a change oif opinion as for the miseraible style of his vehement and exaggerated rhetoric. He suffers now for congressional oratory, which is often mere sound and fury.

kind we would see the bonds of the road plac&d ln New .York and London, interest payable in gold, at a premium, and at not more thlan 4 per cent interest. .Investment and banking houses would truy them and distribute them among "Wnks, Insurance companies, administrators of estates, rich men and saving men, and thus collect together the money that will build a great railroad extension, to add to the business and facilities of a great city.

The pressure of a vast population for more room and more exits and the demand for investments by the people a't large who have m'oney are met by the railroad managers, and the area of Of employment is enlarg&d by a nesw union of capital and enterprise.

HIS EYE NOT DIM NOR FORCE ABATED. The (Hon. Justin 8. Morrill, "senator gram Vermont, cel-dbrated his 86th 'birthday, at Washington, this iweek. A conscience void of offence and devo't'ion to sound iprindiples of protection and correct sytfteuros off finance Wave helped to carry Mr. Morrill along to a sound, Vigorous old a'ge. (We have heard imuch of tfae vigor of tt'h-e old statesman o'f Great Britain, Ibfut surviving the weaT and tear of Ameriidan piofMtios, twe have men 'far dawn the Hvesterinig £lope, with yet active im'inds, among whom are Morrill, 86, iSWerman, 73, (HanUs, 78, Palmer, 79, IMongan, 72, Hajwley, Hoar and Oeorge, 70, and the In'diana senators, eaxjh 69. In the house lare iforty-ifour mamtoerts of 60 yc'ars or more.

Mr. Morrtil made a (forcible spee'eh a S'hort time ago on finances in iwhiich he made some affectivte points, a few of which are worth repeating:

Seven 'hundred grain's olf pure silver 'may fre had in lany market ifor $1, and when we are tfanafica'lly urged to coin letgal tender dollars containing only 437% gra'ins af puTe silver, otbV'iously It must foe expected that-same (people are to find pleasure frn 'being (Cheated, as well as those iw'ho dhea't. The proposition is to set uip a standard of silver money*, worth lhalf af tits nutminal value, and then look in the Ifaice of our creditors and ciaifm to Ib'e honest. 'You may have a 'good reason,' said Dr. OJOhnson, 'Why two and it}wo make five, Ibniit fhey' still will make ibuit Ifour.' 'iGol'd is (wholly democratic in Hits fcharacter, a good neiig'h'bor, and never pushes sliver 'from 'its company. So long a's a just ratio Rs maintained, gold will'ing-ly doe's 'the heaviest part of the work. Depreciated legal tender money, Iw'hether silver or paper, tolerates no gol'd. "The /contention that a gold standard olf money fixes low (prices Ifor all products and that a si'lver standard fixes •hiigh iprilces cannot (be true. Wheat is (bought 'for is'ilver rtuipees "in India and sold profitably ffor feold lin England. "A market abroad ifor any surplu's of wheat, corn, Ibedf or pork occurs only 'When the Uni'ted IStates can underse'Jl the Tc'St olf the world. Therefore the home mariket should Ibe preserved. The price o'f cot)ton w'ill not toe fixed here until 'we are aible to 'mantrffaicture the larger part of the crop at (home. Asiatic co'mipctu'tion can Ibe met. orily by an

American tariff—not iby providing a 'low standard o'f money to pay for whatever iwe have to sell."

SOMETHING ,LAW DOES NOT CURE.' There, has (been a numtber of murders lately for- ,whitah there seemed to be no motive beyond the promptings of a hamiciidar toania. Several men have kiJled- their wives or families and 'then themiselves. There is aJways cause ifb-r ragrelt t'hait the murderers of wiOmen, Who afterwards till themselves, Idb not kill themselves first. •Society seem® to Ibe perfectly hel|piess. Ad'vice to put men, who are dangerous, under guard or in asyiums is useless, for In a .rfiajo-r-ity of cases the criminals are- 'free o'f suspicion until! -their crime is 'done, when their friends and relatives me iforward 'to testify of their Kindness and' gentlen'ess, or to relieve them of some gu'ilt Ty aspersing the character of the Victims.

Faimiliarilty ds said 'to 'breed contempt. It is not unlikely that it creates indifference and that the frequent murders Iby angry, jeailous, despondent, weak and silly men lead others to think txf death as the matter-ttf-course remedy for the cares of life.

It Is .reasonable ito believe thiat familiarity with .the d'eeds of a Ho limes, wh'joh are exaggerated and made more ghastly, as i'f the pflain facts are not bad enough, -quicken or develop the ho-mi cidal tendencies of unbalanced mandis and that the .broadcasting of h'is miseraible confession will have harmful effect, not to (disappear before it i's entirely tforgotten.

Itt ean also be (believed that the indifference of untraifned minds, of minds that never .rise above the small things of daily clothes and drink, to take thought of irrJmortality and a future life, 'is adccuntaible 'for the indifference to life. It cboes not matter so- very mulch whose creed i's useid 'to teach that Hfe has no end Of ':t tout be taught. It

WHISTLING THROUGH A GRAVEYARD. Ex-Governor 'Russell said at the Jefferson celebration to his brother Democrats, "Let us leave comuromise and expediency to the R-f^putolican party, which is ever ready to trim and evade, to harmonize its warring factions." Mr. Russell sat down and Senator Etenlel arose to amtagomze his views on bimetallism.

The ha-Twieniruss in the political field,

reported'yesterday, rather spoil the toxce of.'Mr. Russell's remarks, for *the Repuibllcfans fell into line and the Demacrats acaittereid.

In Kentucky the Reputvlicajis endorsed Governor Bradley and sound money. In North Dakota they endorsed McKinley and sound money, and rebuked tke time-serving silver leader, Hansbrough. Carlisle made his plea for sound money at Chicago and was commanded by the Reptibli'cans for it, while here and there Democrats damn it with faint praise 6r loud, objection.

In Missouri the Democrats wenT for free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. In Colorado they did the same and suspended their convention to listen to Tillman abusing Cleveland whom Mr. Russell had just exalted to the rank of Jefferson as a great Democrat. In the state of Washington the Democrats endorsed free silver and instructed forfree coinage candidate.

Ex-Governor Russell, ^f&e rival Otf Otaey, for presidential honors, cannot find much ibuF warring factions in the Democratic party, nor as much of them in the .Republican iparty as 'he wouM like to find.

THE FIFTH DISTRICT IS SOUND. The convention of the Repu/blScans otf the Fifth oongress3onaldistrjot\furnished happy auguries for RepiibPLcan suiocess. (Party devotion and 'harmony, 'broad, tout explicit declarations on national principles and fidelity (to Indiana's tfavorite son distingu4&hed (this convention.

It spoke for sound money, protection and reciprocity in positive and explicit (terms. (The Republicans of.the Fifth diiatrlicit are opposed, ur.aliteraibUy, to the 'free and unlimited coinage of silver, at 16 to 1, not on theory or for partisanship, but because they believe iit (to Ibe unsound and dangerous to every, class, wiithout regard to party. They recognize the utility of a currency like the one to existence, in which gioId, silver •and paper circulate on equal terms "but ithey will not favor disturbaipnice of the system toy silver free cokiaige and mono, tmetalliism.

The recognition of the judicious (career Of Mr. Faris in the Fifby-'fourth congress '.by renomination was (fitting. Mr. Faris has ifaithifully performed iMs duties as representative of the Filflth district and Indiana without attempt ait display. He will be a (better cJonigressman fchau ever in the Fifty-filfth congress.

TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS A MINUTE. The 'tireasu'ry defioift ifbr 'the first eleven days df thlis month is $6,0S4,803. This, as our Washington correspondent observes, (is at (the rate of $608,480 dor eaich working day of t'he year counting eight hours to each'dlay, and eight hous make a (business day at Washington, it :B at thte rate of $76,000 an hour, and over $1,200 a mtoute, says the Chicago Iru'terOcean.

This comes of Demo,cratictarif£tinlkering, of iDembcalat'ic ourrency tinkering, oif Deimioicra't'jc atpipropriation making, and of all the comlbiined maniifestatiion's o'f Democratic 'incompetency to administer concerning the finance and trade olf t'he (country.

The first twenty month® of operation of (t'he MloKinHey tariff resulted in 'a surplus oif $20,287,462 'flor tlhe national treasury. The first 'twenty .months of the operation of the W'ilson tariff has resulted in a cSeifMt of $82,248,794.

The Democrat's denounced the suripluls as "inifaimous," that lit is a matter Of coimfmon sense t'hat a surplus o'f '$20,000,000

:is

no more ithan a safeguard againlst emergenicies. IBut if a surplus of ($20,000,000 toe "inffa/mous," what adjeictiv'e lis fit to qualify a deficit of $82,000,000?

When ttfiere (was a surplus in the national treasury there was a surplus lin nearly every house. The building associations and the savings b-an'k's iwere receiving vast 'deposits of acouimul'atlions from 'the wage fund, merchants were enlarging (their atores, manufacturers were enlargiinig their milts, wages were goiing iu|p, and all man-ulfactsured things that wages 'buy were coming down. Strikes Ifor higher wages were too comtoon, but strikes against lower wagfcs ^-ere unknown.

ENGLAND'S PRIME MINISTER.

Dual Character of Iiord Salisbury—In Public and Private Life. There are two Lord Salistourys. One known to t'he public, Aid supposed to be scornful, cynical, regardless of the feelings of others, bitter, biting and relentless. The other is the Lord Salisbury of private life—gentle, genial, fond of a Joke, but fonder of his friends, and giving the point of "his jokes no sting, says the New YorK Mail and Express.

He has the pride of his race to a very great extent, but it is curious to see how his intimates

resent the

popular descrip

tion of him as "the haughty marquis". A few nights ago a popular nobleman who enjoys a chat with a newspaper correspondent—such wide-awake chaps, he calls us—expostulated with me on the sulbjelct of the adjective. "Salisbury's social charm," said Lord "is overpowering in private conversation he exhibits remarkable freedom from prejudice, and he shows a wonderful readiness to hear every side Oif the question."

Only one thing unites the public and the private Lord Salisbury. Now and then he grows caustic in an epigram. But he does not mean it, and nobody is more sorry than he is if he finds the caustic has touched a sore. Contrary to the general impression, for all his pride of race he is the most modest of men. 'As a public speaker he may appear to put on what is commonly known as "side the real man is seen in bis private letters, of which I have seeij several, and which show him to toe fran'k, hearty, unassuming—a m:*i amortg men, in faot. He knows himself to be in a great position—he would be a fool if he didn't—but he resents no instructions or advice, welcomes criticism, and wants to get ait the heaVt of every argument. An opponent may not shift on an ambiguity when discussing with Lord Sali'stoury. His critical faculty is ks highly developed in private conversation as in public speech, tout it is ijiore cheerfully exercised.

Intellectually he Is one of the most industrious of men, ever reading, studytog, investigating and ^thinking. Physically he is most indolent, as anyone can see who watiches him: crawling along the Strand, which is still his favorite promenade, as it was in the life time of the late W. H. Smith, whose place of business was situated thfere. Like his great predecessor Lord Beaconsfield, Lord Salisbury can't walk he saunters. Lord Granville once remonstrated with him publicly in the house of lords for driving from Arlington street 'to the house of lords, a distance of about a mile and a half, and begged him for his health's sake to walk down.

Friends have urged 'him to the same effect, tout to very little purpose his •lordship prefers to crawl and drive rather than walk. 'During 'the 1886 administration he fell into ill health, the doctors said, due to his -sedentary l.lfe. Gladstone would have gone like a whirlwind down Regent street, tout Lord Salisbury wouldn't even for his health's sake. 'Arthur Balfour onice, with a View tio stimulating his uncle to exercise,'got goUf links made at Hatfield, but Lord (Salisbury (wouldn't play.

The prime (minister's only amusement is -sbienioe. There is a magnificent laboratory at Hatfield, and there'the present ruler of Great Britain may toe seen whenever he (can snatch relief fram his legislative la'bors poring over test tuibes, retorts, receivers, filters and other fear•fiul and wonderful chemical apparatus. (His speech at the Bristol association Hast year was a revelation of his occupations to those not in the know tout to others it caused no surprise. (He is a good- chettxiist, versed in nearly every phase of .modern science. He is also a good turner—not in the political sense —antd his "hardest physical exercise seems? to 'be turning a laithe and manipulating the little saws used in fretwork. He has a positive genius for this kind of work—ipoor, 'thoutgh it is—and all his friends posses souvenirs of his skill.

His personal habits .are extremely simple. He care nothing for luxury and is very atosfteimious in drink. In the days when he was a writer on the Saturday Review he enjoyed a glassi of •bitter beer, but he is now fortoidd'en to touch such liquors. His. favorite 'beverage now is claret, and he (can dr-n'k a gilass of port, but he has been heard' to regret, with an Englishman's longing (Cor the national .beverage,^ the necessity ,whi!ch compels him to forego Ibeer. He does not smoke, and has a positive distaste for tobacco.

Lord Salisbury's family liff is exquisite. Hatfield is a sort of ecclesiastical establishment. There is a fine little chapel in the grounds, and when visitors are in the house 'services are conducted every Sunday that are very fine musitoally, whatever they may ibe from a theologiteal point of view. A Cecil tradition makes a real 'family union, with Lady Salisbury in the center, one of the regulations of the house. All Lord 'Salisbury's sons are intellectual, but Hugh, the member for Greenwich, is, perhaps, the most promising.

Tired of Society People.

"I conffess I am weary of these people," siaid a weH known woman author, •whose ,-pen pictures ot modern society are ipho'tograhifc in their exactness, "althoug'h (I find t'hem dndispensitole 'for ^copy.' Perhaipis it is (because of my 'trade, tout my mind has so formed the halb'.t of constructing their sentences (for them in advanfee and of anticipating t'he sequence of their remarks that I can teil almost exactly teiforehand just what nine people out off ten will say when tlney make a call. I can even follow t'hem to their carriages in my imatgination and ifeel quite sure of what will toe the natural continuation of their talk. So I 'long inexpressibly after a conventional! winter for Tresh fields £.nd •pasture's new.

Two hours afterward Hugh had thus toeen stationed the corporal with the relief appeared in 'the moonlight and was astonished to see .Hugh, walking to and fro mp to hSs waist in iwater. The tide had come in. "Wttio goes there?" demanded the sentry. •"Reaieff," answered the corporal. "Halt, relief! Advance, conporal, and give the countersign." "But 1 am not coming: in theres to Ibe drowned. Come out and let me relieve you." "Niver a toit," e&id 'Hugh. "The l}ftenant told me not to leave me post." "Weill, ifchen," 6aid the corporal, starting to move away, "you may stay there all night." *1Halt!" thundered the senary. 'I'll put a hole «n ye if you pass without the countersign. Them's me orders from t'he lifitenant," and he codked and leveled the gun. "Confound you and (the lieutenant!" answered the corporal. "Everybody will hear it iff I Jbawl it out -to you." "Yls, me darling, and the 1 if ten ant said i"t must toe given in w'hisper. In wtith ye me finger's on the trigger."

There .was nothing for the corporal to do Ibut to wade out ito where the faifhifiul sentinehstood. ."Be jatotoers," said •that worthy, "it's well you've come! The d'hfrty tide has almost drowned me."—Toronto^Catholic Register.

STEEL WAGON ROADS.

Ohio and Other States May Test a Substitute for Macadam. ©teel wagon roads, as advocated toy •Martin Dodge, state road commissioner Cf Ohio, are likely to have a thorough trial in several states during the present year, says the Cycling Gazette. These roads consist o'f t\vo rails made o'f steel the thickness of .boiler plate, each formed in t'he shape of a gutter, five (inches in width, with a square perpendicular shoulder half an inch in height, then an angle of one inch outward, slightly raised. The gutter forms a conduit for the .water, and .makes it easy for t'he wheels to leave and enter the track. Such a double steel track •road, sixteen feet wide, filled in toe•tftveen with unfbroken stone, macadam' size, would cost atoout $6,000 per mile as against $7,000 for a macadam roadtoed o'f t?he same width, tout the cost of a rural one traxte steel road would be only $2,000 per mile. It is claimed that .such a road would last much longer than stone, and that one horse will draiw on a steel track twenty times as (much as on a dirt road and

Myers, 201 Hanna St., Fort Wayne, Ind., writes Oct. 7,1894: "I suffered terribly with severe headaches, dizziness, backache and nervousness, gradually growing worse until my life was despaired of, and try what we would, I found no relief until I commenced using Dr. Miles' Nervine. I have taken five bottles and believe I am a well woman, and I have taken great-com-fort in recommending all of my friends to use Nervine. You may publish this letter if you wish, and I hope it may be the means of saving some other sick mother's life, as it did mine."
