money to build houses. This
means that 1,400,000 are creditors
who have paid as good as gold dol

may be assumed that when these

In his speech at the Cincinnati
ratification meeting last Saturday
nisrht. Senator Foraker said: To
conclude with a word, when Sena
tor Teller and his associates bolted
the party at the St. Louis conven
tion they had no cause for it what
ever that did not exist four years
before at the Minneapolis conven
tion, and when the republican
party made the declaration it did
make at St. Louis it did not change
its position one particle, but
simply made it absolutely certain
in order that there could be a
settlement of that question that
the proposition for free, indepen
dent and unlimited coinage of silver
is a proposition that we will not
entertain. We will not entertain
it because, in our judgment it does
not, as senator Teller and ins as
sociates claim, mean bimetallism,
but simply silver monometallism
We go into this
with our srallant
representing to
America protection to American
industries and American labor and
an absolutely sound dollar, with
which to do our business. An ab
solutely sound dollar, not simply
for the banker and the merchant,
but for the wage-earner as well.
When a man does a full day's work
he is entitled to have a full 100c on
the dollar with which is paid, and
we propose that he shall have it
We propose that the dollar we put
into circulation the metallic dollar
shall be worth 100c in gold all
over the world, no matter whether
it carries the eagle and superscrip
tionsornot. Take a silver dollar
and pound it into bullion and it
worth 54c; take a "fold dollar and
pound it into bullion and it
worth 100c all over the world
Nobody is cheated by that kind of
a dollar, nobody is misled by it;
and when Gov. McKinley shall
have been elected prosperity will at
once come again, because that will
insure a sound tariff, reciprocity
and a sound currency.
Fathetio Story of the Famous Jockey and
the Steeplechaser Fatigue.
Archer, the celebrated jockey, was
riding in a steeplechase, his mount being
a horse called Fatigue. The man was
fond of the horse, which returned his
affection with liberal interest. At the
last fence the horse fell and broke his
leg. Archer, though of course thrown,
fell away from the horse, and was not
badly hurt. The pathetic scene that fol
lowed is described by Vogue:
He started away to deliver news of
the accident and arrange to have the
horse shot, bnt was stopped by hearing
a whinny. Poor Fatigue could only lift
his head, but he was looking after and
calling the rider ho loved so welL
Archer returned to the horse, and sitting
down on the turf, took the poor creat-
boy
with a message for what was necessary.
Meanwhile the horse lay still, except
for an occasional spasm of pain.
No one wanted to shoot poor Fatigue.
A small boy finally volunteered, if no
one else would, but he'd ' 'a heap ruther
not. ' ' When the pistol was finally given
him his small hands trembled so that
Archer took the weapon from him, say
ing: "You're nervous, lad; you'll bungle
it. He sha'n't have his pain added to.
He'll never know what put him out of
his misery." Addressing the horse, he
added, "If I wasn't fond of you I
couldn't bring myself to do it; but you
sha'n't run risks of being hurt more. "
With one hand he caressed the horse's
head, with the other ho put the pistol
to the forehead.
"Good by, Fatigue, old chap, good
by," and he pulled the trigger.
Fatigue hardly struggled, but settled
down, dead, with his head still on his
favorite rider's lap; and Archer sat
quite Btill till the last quiver was over,
his head bowed, and did not notice that
the red was staining his clothes.
MR. GLIMMERTON'S BESETMENTS.
is
Troubled Most Just Now Over a Whatnot
In the Parlor.
"In her latest rearrangement of the
parlor," said Mr. Glimmerton, "my
oldest daughter has placed in front of
the whatnot a comfortable rocking chair
in which I have always liked to sit. The
whatnot is a flimsy structure on legs so
slender that they wabble when you look
at them. Upon its shelves there are
many delicate bottles and jars and vases
and things that are always ready to fall
off.
"If I were not so eternally kept down,
I should be a man of cheerful spirits.
Even as it is I manage to keep my head
above the slough of despond, but I have
a pretty hard time of it what with one
thing and another, and just now the
whatnot in the parlor is one of my most
trying besetments. One cannot sit in
the big chair now without danger of
knocking the whatnot over. The first
time I tried it the chair rocked back
and brought up against it. All the bot
tles and jars and vases on the shelves
nodded violently, many of them beyond
recovery, and these went down with
that slight but compact crash that thin
china makes when it falls.
"Then I had to keep the whatnot al
ways in mind. If I sat in the rocking
chair at all, I had to sit in it carefully.
Once when I had forgotten about the
great calamity and had jumped up rath
er suddenly the chair rocked back and
touched the whatnot again, this time,
however, not so hard; only a few things
f ell. But now I have criven ud the chair
altogether, for with the whatnot at its
back it is no longer a comfort to me.
I look at the big chair longingly,
and I fancy it looks with sympathy at
me, ana i wait with patient cheerful
ness for the next new arrangement,
when the flimsy whatnot shall be on
one side of the room and the comforta
ble rocker on the other." New York

Eddlcashln" at Shields, 1700.
It was in the midst of war, tumult
and riot that the first free school was
founded, at tho instance of a few en
lightened citizens of Shields, who
thought this a better way of celebrating,
King George's jubilee than by spending
tho money collected for that purpose in
fireworks. But "eddicashin" was in
thoso days looked upon by many as a
thing not to be countenanced in any de
gree whatever. As a Shields shipowner
indignantly exclaimed: "Eddicashin!
Eddicashinl Noa! We'll syun hev nee
sarvints!" Another weighty argument
against education, especially in a place
like Shields, whose seafaring inhabit
ants at that time had more risks to en
counter than they were subjected to by
the elements, was:

The Royal Jubilee school was opened

versal objecting to educating tho mass
es, the learning which the trustees thus
freely offered was so hedged in bv re
strictions that it was very poor plant,
indeed. Spelling, the Bible and "Watts'
Hymns" were about the only things
taught, for the trustees, as the only
means of surmounting opposition, avail
ed themselves literally of good King
