One of the misleading statements often made by silver stump speakers is as follows: "All we ask for silver, is that it shall be admitted to the mints urith (TlIrt If I hnVA 4 " ma " I one thnnmnd dollars VOrth of flTOld I bullion, I can take it to the mints and j have it coined. "Why should I not en joy the same privileges if I happened to have a thousand dollars' worth of silver bullion t Why should my gold be admitted to the mint and my silver ! shut out?" This Question never fails to elicit loud applause. "That' a clincher The answer is nevertheless obvious. If I have one thousand dollars' worth of gold bullion and take it to the mint, the government coins it for me and stamps it $1,000. If I have a thousand dollars' worth of silver bullion and take that to the mint the government, 60 long as tho ratio remains 16 to 1, coins it and stamps it, at the pres ent price of pure silver, $2,000. This is not equity of privileges be tween the two metals; it is gross par tialitv and favoritism of silver. The covernment has no rirrht to do it. It has a right to do it, on its own ac count, if Having said that a silver dol lar shall bo equal to a gold .dollar, it stands ready to make that guarantee good. It has no right to let any dol lar which it has issued, whether of silver or of paper, fall below par. If it does it is guilty of bad faith. It has no right to take 50 cents' worth of sil ver which does not belong to the gov ernment, but to a private citizen, coin it, stamp it "one dollar," and give it back to the owner. An irredeemable silver dollar, intrinsically worth only half its face value, is a cheat. "Why," says the silverite, "it used to do it. All we ask is that tho gov ernment shall return to its ancient practice." No, it never did it. When it coined 371 1-4 grains of 6ilver on private account, for tho owner, that silver was worth 100 cents in erold. Now it is not. That is the difference, and a great difference, too. The in tellectual and moral perceptions of the man who cannot see it must be feeble, indeed. If the proposition in the Chicago platform were to let the owner of a thousand dollars' worth of silver bul lion take it to the mint and have it stamped $1,000, the same as the owner of the bullion has a right to do, there would be none of this anxiety and ex citement, on the part of business men. that is everywhere apparent. it is oecause toe tree silver move ment contemplates the putting of false valuation upon bullion coined for its owners, that economists and finan ciers regard the Chicago platform as first dishonest, and then inexpres sibly dangerous to the i nterests of the whole people, without distinction of class or pecuniary condition. Eli Hill, Lumber City, Pa., writes, "I have been suffering from Piles for twenty-five years and thought my case incurable. DeWitt's Witch Hazel oaive was recommended to me as a pile cure, so I bought a box and it per formed a permanent cure. ' This is only one of thousands of similar cases. Eczema, sores and skin diseases yield quickly when it is used. Card of Thanks. The members of the family of the late Joseph Flansburg wish to tender their sincere thanks to the many friends who so kindly assisted them during the illness and death of their beloved mother, and especially to the G. A. R., who so readily responded during the hours of our affliction. Extreme tired feeling afflicts nearly every body at this season. The hustlers cease to push, the tireless grow weary, the ener getic become enervated. You know Just what we mean.' Borne men and women endeavor temporarily to overcome that cr-zm Feeling by great force of will. But this la unsafe, bb it pulls powerfully upon the nervous system, which will not long stand such strain. Too many people " work on their nerves," and the result la seen in un fortunate wrecks marked " nervous pros tration," in every direction. That tired tag Is a positive proof of thin, weak, im pure blood; for, if the blood is rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it imparts life and energy to every nerve, organ and tisane of the ' body. The necessity of taking Hood's Barsa par ilia for that tired feeling Is, therefore, apparent to every one, and the good It will do you is equally beyond question.

Oaklev Andrews, tho well-known butcher at Syracuse, had a narrow os cape from death yestorday. He went out to the farm of Mr. Leech for the purpose of purchasing some steers and on arriving at the farm he left his team in the road in charee of a com panion and went into the cattle yard alone. He had hardly gotten into the field when he was attacked by a bull, The animal made a lunge at him hooking him on the inside of the left thigh, when Mr. Andrews caught the bull by the horns and held on until his strength failed him, when he fell to the ground . The bull continued to attack him, goring him several times in the breast and stepping on him. The animal got tired and quit and then Mr. Andrews dragged himself to his wagon and was taken to Syracuse for medical treatment. His injuries, while severe, are not- dangeious, and he will Boon recover. It was indeed a narrow escape. Nebraska City News. Kev. Ana Sleeth Retired. The M. tj. church conference now in session at Hastings. .Neb., das passed a resolution extending sym pathy to Rev. Asa Sleeth, of Pawnee City, Neb., and placed him on the conference claimant list. Rev. Sleeth was ..formerly pastor of the M. E church of this city and it will be re membered that his son disappeared from Beatrice, leaving his clothing and bicycle on the banks of a stream near there, and has not since bee heard from, although a number of those who claim to know have asserted that the boy simply ran away from home. Since the disappearance of the son the father has been prostrated and it is now asserted that nis ner vous system is a total wreck and h will never again be able to preach, so ho has been placed on the retired list bv the conference. This will indeed be sad news to his many friends i this city and extend to him thci heartfelt sympathy in his hour of af diction. Nebraska City News. A Great Debate.

INFORMATION AND OPINIONS. The latest method of raising a cam paign fund to help Bryan along is at the hospital at Lincoln, where the male employes aro assessed $10 and the female attaches Timothy Wil son, fireman at the hospital, was dis charged the other day because he re fused to "give up" and ho is now looking for another job and is wear ing a McKinley button. It has now leaked out that several of the inmates at the hospital for the insane at Lincoln rode in tho parade at the Bryan notification the other day. It is thought the remainder of those who made up the parade were fit subjects for the hospital. The '"occasional" paragrapher of the Journal, who attempted to dictate to the local officers of the B. &, M. last evening just how they should manage their business, deserves but little no tice. Wo have nothing whatever against Joseph Warga, but when e- putable Bohemians volunteered state ments with reference to his conduct in breaking up a meeting, wo printed it in good faith and still believe thoy old the truth about it. It may be profitable to antagonize, bemean and lie about the only industry wo have that keeps this town alive. The free silver fanatics eeem inclined to stick to their theory regardless of results. and we should not complain, probably, if, in line with their argument, the B. & M. shops should be forcod out of the state because the managers try to pro tect their interests.

What he gained by exciting the ignorant has been more than offset by disgust and repulsion, inspired in the intelligent by his demagogical harangues. The level of his speeches has steadily descended. As an example of their effect, I know of a bright young attorney here in the east end of Cleveland, who has always been a democrat.
