HAS TO BEUIN LIFE OYER.
Clinpter In the Sti-miRe Ce of Herbert
Spencer, Mho LoHt IIIh Memory.
Lawkkn'CE, Kan., Sept. 1& Her
bert Siencer, whose loss of memory
unused him to wander from Louisiana
to Philadelphia, where ho was picked
up in lUt streets and placed in a hos
pital, to linger there for months be
fore bein discovered by a friend, has
entered Kansas university, lie en
tered the school of pharmacy, and is
doing regular work with the junior
12 US HI
Kver (since Spencer's return homo he
has kept rather close by his rrclativcs
though of late he has bx:n going
about town alone. lie has not been
abb; to recognize friends any more
than when he liifct came home, and
when old acquaintances greet him he
is as reserved as a stranger could be,
aiid has to bejjin an acquaintance all
over ag:iin. IJ seems to delight in
"playing willi children, and he did not
care ranch for them beforo his
lo-j of memory. His manner is
marked by a constraint that is not at
all like the whole-souled way in which
he once greeted friends.
It was thought by starting him to
school jigain he would regain touio of
bis faculties, but be acts the same as
a new student. He entered the class
where lie w;is given credit for work
done several years ago when ho was
student, and so had to pass no examin
ation. He goes to his classes regular
I3', has no difficulty in preparing his
lessons, and gets along with his work
as well as any of the others. The
work lie is doing is under the direction
cf Prof. L. IL Sayer, who was in Phil
adelphia when young Spencer was
fouud, aud who has become very much
interested in the case.
In entering the university Spencer
came in contact with students, pro
ficrs and officials whom ho had
known well at the former period of his
attendance, but they seem to make no
mro impression on him than thoso
who are strangers. Spencer lives at
home und goes to his classes unat-"te-'ded,
though having a long way to
w;.lk.
Ther e h;is. loen no solution of his
ciiso, and the only thiug that might
possibly throw any light on it is a letter-
received from a California friend,
who, remembering j-oung Spencer be
ing knocked senseless by a baso ball
bat a fw years ago, and thinking that
his loss of memory might have been
due to that, wrote and told the family
about it-
Sericer is much intere?ted in read
ing about ca?es similar to his own, and
watches the newspniwrs eagerly for
anything of the kind.

When V. J. Bryan, in a speech re

wear McKtnley buttons to deceive the
public and cspcially their em

The workingmon of this country are
not that kind of peoplo. They are too

methods.

Some History.
Public sentiment is against the
Bryan-tail-end-car exhibition now go
ing on, and if it wero not, there is but
one man in ten millions who can talk
continually as a candidate without
sinking into commonplaces .or saying
what is open to strong criticism. No
man has ever boon elected president
who has stumped tho country in his
own behalf at.d no boy ever will. Can
didates for president and vice-president
wero first nominated by national
conventions in 1S32, tho standard bear
ers of the two great parties being Jack
sun and Clay. JaeKson made no
speeches during the campaign, and
Clay, eerles3 orator though ho was,
made but one. Neither candidate
made a public speech in 1838. Four
years later Harrison spoke a few
times in his own state, but his oppon
ent did no talking. In 1844 Polk wrote
letters but avoided the stump. Later
tin General Scott made himself ridic
ulous and contributed very largely to
his own defeat by a few impromptu
speeches of the Bryan order. In 1K()0
Douglas took the stump tnscause he
represented a des-perato cause, and
Greeley did the same for tho same
reason in 1S72, and in 18S4 Blaine at
tempted to stem tho tide that he
felt was running against him, by a
speaking tour which ended in the dis
astrous Burcbard episode in Ne'v
York. But these men wero all de
feated, and their experience is that of
all others who put themselves on ex
hibition in that way. When such
men fail it is not among tho possibili
ties that a babbling boy can succeed

(oil! hikI Silver.
To the Editor of The News:
There is a great deal of talk about
tno great crime of 1873. Why not go
back two thousand years and see how
silver and gold stood as to their rela
tive value? Take, for instance, the
reign of King Solomon, many years
beforo Christ, and you will find that
gold was the unit of value. Of course,
silver was used as money, but was not
very valuable even at that time, and
you will alo find that King Soloman
received his annual s ilary in pure gold
to tho amount of six .hundred and
sixty-six talent a real nice little sum
of money for one year's labor, as will
be seen from tho following table of
weights and moneys at that time:
Gold Silver
One uerah 9 M JiW
Ten senilis - one re kali 5 45 t 26
Two rekalis one shekel ill ! f2
SI xtu shekels one maueli.. ftvl 7S 31 'i
Fifty maneliH one talent.. 34,! OU I, .103 37
If our "silver" friends wish, the'
may figure out and I think they will
find that they aro a littlo off on silver
ever being more valuable than gold.

(Cut this out and put it in your pocket lor
reference.)
No argument of tho silver men is
more frequently repeated, or more ab
surd to those who oxamino the subjoct.
than that which asserts that there is
a "conspiracy" to cornor gold and
drive silver out of use.
It has already been shown in these
leaflets that the quantity of silver
money in use in tho world has more
than doubled since tho "crime" of
1S7.J. Certainly if there is a con
spiracy against silver, it is not Taking
much headway, since tho silver money
of tho world thrives so well under its
opposition as to more than double in a
quarter of a contury.
Now let ua see if the alleged effort to
cornor gold has had any better success.
The gold money of the world today
is, according to Preston, the director
of the mini, $4,008,000,000. It also has
more tnan doubled in the past quarter
of a century. It is distributed over
tho entire world, and forms practically
one-half of the money of the world.
How are any handful or syndicate of
men, operating in tho darkness or
under cover, as is claimed, going to
"corner" or in any way control this
vast sum of money distributed over the
whole world and owned by hundreds
of millions of people?
Here aro the amounts of gold money
owned by the people of the leading na
tions of tho world, and in tho adjoin
ing columns is given tho population of
tho nations having this gold. Doesn't
it look as if a syndicate would have
rather a hard timo cornering this
quantity of gold, distributod over
such a vast area and among so many
millions or people V Isn't tho assertion
a rather absurd one ? Yet it is upon
this that the friends of silver base one
of their irost potent arguments aud
their most frantic appeals for the
v.i-s ol ;mjo(i1o who accept their as
sci t ions.

Has m-irked tho path of tho Doerinpr Ideal Mower. No grass is too heavy or too light, no land is too rough and do

shaft is parallel with the ground so that the SELF-ADJUSTING PITMAN moves steadily HACK and forth in wortc

or draw in under tho sickle; the adjustable drag bar pays the interest on the investment.
The driver of the Ideal Mower can cut as slow as be likes and it is never necessaay to back when starting.
The use of roller and ball bearings, has eliminated friction, and instead of grinding the bearings ull the power
