Henry Watterson says that 16

Mr Hobart promises a republican
majority of 50,000 in New Jersey
this year, and Mr. Hobart is- the
kind of a man who never advertises
more than is likely to be performed.
A treasury deficit of $26,042,244
for the fiscal year just ended is the
strongest kind of an argument in
favor of a tariff that will produce
sufficient revenue, and at the same
timegive unemployed labor a chance
torearn a living.
The people of Lincoln county
have never had an opportunity to
vote tor a more honorable or more
efficient set of men than is found at
the head of this column. The
ticket is a clean one from top to
bottom.
Siiould free silver win this fall
which is not at all probable what
a sad awakening- it would be to the
many deluded ones who imagine
that free silver means to them a
livlilfood without the necessity of
working". But then, this world is
full of disappointments.
A leading local populist tells us
that Judge Green will not be nomi
nated for congress by the populists
of this district. He savs that in
being- elected judge, Greene has
been well cared for. and that the
honor of a congressional nomination
belongs to some other perspiring
member of the party, but just who
the nominee would be he was not in
position to say. In this connection
it is not improper to state that Col
onel Gantt and Judge Neville have
not yet driven the congressional bee
from their bonnets.

The Louisiana legislature has
authorized its agricultural bureau
to make an exhibit at the Trans-
mississippi exposition to be held at
Omaha in 1898. This is one of the
many straws which shows that the
exposition will not be a one-horse
affair.
The papers in this senatorial
istrict are giving Judge Hoagland
a warm endorsement upon ins
nomination for state senator, and
A. Cady for
congressman, the republican con
vention last Friday selected one of
the brainiest men in the state, and
one who will make an aggres
and winning" campaign. For twenty
years past Mr. Cady has been
identified with the business and
political interests of the state, and
during" that time he has proven
himself to be a clean and honorable
man. hie lias ever been an ardent
advocate of clean politics, and has
A.
worked constantly for reform meas
ures which would prove of benefit
to the whole people. Mr. Cady is
A.
a very energetic, wide-awake man,
and if chosen to represent the peo
ple or tne bixtli district, and we
firmly believe he will, he will do so
in a faithful and honorable manner.
It is likely Mr. Cady will visit Lin
coln county during" the .campaign
and more our people will have an
opportunity to become acquainted
with him and learn of his sterling-
qualities. In the coming-campaign
he will stand squarely upon the St.
Louis platform.
THE AMEBIC AN COINAGE IN JUNE.
The treasury department has
out the coinage report for
June. It seems that our mints were
by no means idle during" that last
month of the fiscal year. The num
ber of Loins struck oif was 12,780,-
615. This must have kept the
A.
money mills grinding away pretty
ast and steadily. There were
wenty-six work days in the month
so that the actual number of pieces
struck off dailv was at most half a
million.
The total value of these coins
was $4,623,929. Of these 140,982
were gold pieces, amounting- to
$2,471,213, but about three-fourths
of them were minor coins (made of
nickel and copper, 9,496,210 in num
ber, worth $202,019. Then there
were 1,o4d,4.o subsidiary silver
coins (halves, quarters and climes),
leaving just 1,500,000 dollar pieces.
From the monetary, rather than
the metallic, point of view the new
coins are divided into two classes.
First the full leg-al tender coin, good
for the payment of all debts, public
or private, large or small, and
second, those which are a legal ten
der for only a small amount. The
first are "standard money," or
"money of redemption," the second
"token money," or money of conven
t
lence in small transactions, mere
pocket money. The first class em
braces the silver dollar no less than
the gold pieces, the second class
embraces equally the subsidiary
silver and nickles and coppers
The first class contains 1,640,982
pieces, worth $3,971,217, the second
11,139,633, worth $652,711.

xuis June coinage tnrows a
strong and clear light upon the fi

existing gold standard." That is.

American people that every one of
those million and a half of silver

CHAPTER XH.
Philip called tho miserable monarch

as a result, John lost liis French posses

landj ceased to be a taxpayer in France
and proved to a curious world that a
court fool in his household was super
fluous. John now became mixed up in a fra
cas with tho Eoman pontiff, -who would
have been justified in giving him a Ro
man punch. "Why he did not, no Roman
knows.
On tho death of tho archbishop oi
Canterbury in 1205 Stephen Langton
was elected to the place, with a good
salary and use of tho rectory. John re
fused to confirm tho appointment, where
at Innocent HE, the pontiff, closed the
churches and declared a general lock
out. People were denied Christian bur
ial in 1208, and John was excommuni
cated in 1209.
Philip united with the pope, and to
gether they raised the temperature foi
John so that he yielded to the Roman
pontiff and in 1213 agreed to pay him
a- comfortable tribute. The French king
attempted to conquer England, but waa
defeated in a great naval battle in tho
harbor of Damme. Philip afterward ad
mitted that the English were not con
quered by a Damme site, bnt the pope
absolved him for $2.
It was now decided by the royal sub
jects that Jolm should bo still further
restrained, as ho had disgraced his na
tion and soiled his emiine. So the bar
ons raised an army, took London, and
at Runnymede, Juno 15, 1215, com
pelled John to sign tho famous Magna
Charta, giving his subjects many addi
tional rights to the use of the climato
and so forth which they had not known
before.
Pembroke was chosen protector, Mid
so served till 1219, when he died and
was succeeded by Hubert de Burgh.
Louis, with the French forces, had teen
defeated and driven back home, so peace
followed.
Henry HI was a weak king, as is too
well known, but was kind. Ho behaved
well enough till about 1231, when he
began to ill treat Do Burgh.
He became subservient to the French
rlement and his wife's relatives from
Provence (pronounced Provongs). He
imported officials by tho score, and Elea
nor's family never released their hold
upon tho public teat night or day. They
would cry bitterly if deprived of same
even for a moment. This was about the
year 123G.
Besides this, and feeling that more hot
water was necessary to keep up a ruddy
glow, the king was held tightly beneath
the thumb of the pope. Thus Italy
claimed and secured the fat official po
sitions in the church. The pontiff gave
Homy the crown of Sicily with a C. O.
D. on it, which Henry could not raise
without the assistance of parliament.
Parliament did not likethis, and the
barons called upon him one evening
with concealed brass knuckles and
things and compelled him to once more
comply with the regulations of Magna
Charta, wiiich promise he rigidly
adhered to until the committeo had
turned tho first corner outside the royal
lawn.
possessing peculiar guts as a versa
tile liar aud boneless coward, and being
entirely free from the milk of human
kindness or towels of compassion, his
remains were eagerly sought after and
yearned for by scientists long before he
decided to abandon them.
Again, m 1258, lie was required to
submit to the requests of the barons, but
they required too much this time, and
a civil war followed
Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester,
at the head of the rebellious barons,
won a victory over the king in 12G4
and took the monarch and his son Ed
ward prisoners.
Leicester now ruled the kingdom and
not only called an extra section of par
liament, but in 1265 admitted represent
atives of the towns and borouglis, there
by instituting the house of commons,
where self made men might sit on the
small of the back with their hats on
and cry "Hear! Hear!"
The house of commons is regarded as
the bulwark of civil and political liber
ty, and when under good police regula
tions i3 still a great boon.
Prince Edward escaped from jail and
organized an armv, which in 12G5 de
feated the rebels, and Leicester and his
son were slain. The wicked soldiery
wreaked their vengeance upon the body
of the fallen mau, for they took great
pride hi their prowess as wreakers, but
in the hearts of the people Leicester was
regarded as a martyr to their cause.
Henry HI was now securely seated
once moro upon his rather restless
throne, and as Edward had been a good
boy for some tunc his father gave him
permission to visit the Holy Land, in
1270, with Louis of France, who also
wished to go to Jerusalem and t:ike ad
vantage of tho low Jewish clothing
market. In 1272 Henry died, during the
absence of his son, after 50 years of
vacillation and timidity. He was the
land of king who would sit up half of
the night trying to decide which boot
to pull off first and then, with a deep
drawn sigh, go to bed with them on.
Edward, surnamed "Lougslmnks."
A Word For Saleswomen.
In the annual report of the Consumers'
League of New York city the following
advice is given shoppers in the interest
of saleswomen in the large stores:
"CJkT 1nriTiff VAnenMo IVtr 1ric? tttV rn
possible, early in the morning when
saleswomen are fresh, and not tired out
and nervous. Avoid making purchases
on a Saturday afternoon, so that eventu
1 ally the shops may all give a half holi
day. Make your holiday purchases early
in the season, if possible. Make constant
inquiries as to tho proper provision of
seats, and request floorwalkers to en
courage saleswomen to sit down when
not waiting on customers. Report to the
league any information gleaned outside
the shops from working girls, whether
favorable or unfavorable to employers.
Become members of the league and per
suade your friends to join also. If at
any time you feel irritated or annoyed
by apparent indifference or carelessness
of saleswomen, stop and consider what
it means to be on one's feet from 10 to
14 hours a day, in a crowded space,
Bhoved and pushed about, lifting heavy
boxes at times, waiting on impatient
customers and customers who wish to
be helped to know their own minds;
keeping account of sales and stock, tak
ing addresses often given hurriedly and
carelessly, and fined in many instances
if written down incorrectly; and all
this for salaries ranging from $3 to $8
per week, and obliged to dress neatly
and fairly well, and to pay out of it
one's board, lodging, clothing and car
fare."
Working Women of Ixmdon.
Women are everywhere climbing
down from omnibuses, coming up in
processions from tho underground sta
tions. They are hurrying along Fleet
street and scudding across the Strand.
Chelsea and South Kensington are peo
pled with petticoats. Saiute Mousselinc
wears a jacket, a cleft hat and has
portfolio or papers under arm. Know
ing in dress, preoccupied in air, she
nods familiarly and takes out her latch
key to let herself in, or disappears with
in the door of her club.
This new figure has no place in fic
tion. That is why we know so little of
her. There have been tentativo efforts;
the stage has opened the door; "the
new woman" attempts to introduce the
womau bachelor. We have had the op
portunity of seeing Sydney Grundy's
play. As a caricature even it was not
accepted. The transformation of the
British unmarried female into Miss Vic
toria Yivash has not been so gayly ac
complished. Jackets and cigarettes are
not the most salient traits.
On the contrary, in Loudon one misses
that spirit of adventure; that saucy
fillip of the finger at the gray old world
which enables the American girl to
take up so lightly her wrestle for a
livelihood. But where the American
girl has gouo forth a free lauce, the
English woman has advanced in pla
toons. This is why she is so well in
trenched perhaps. Her outposts also are
further advanced. Scribner's Magazine.

Lady Tennyson is a good musician,
and her once beautiful voice and still
clever manipulation of the piano'at all
times gave iufiuito pleasure to the laur
eate. She has set to music more than
one of her husband's sonnets, and her
compositions attain a high degree of
artistic merit. One of these has been
published, and she has been frequently
urged to give the public the opportunity
of enjoying others of her efforts in tho
same line, but it was much against her
will that any of her music should be
printed. Only on account of her hus
band's express wish in the matter did
she yield, and she has no intention of
transgressing her rule again.
