.$11 ELLS TO HEAVEN. THE RECENT CARLISLE MEETING AT CHICAGO. Gotten lp by Walking Delecte Who Labor Not It Has Helped the Cause f Silver a Thousand Fold Some L'yeopener. Probably no one thing of recent oc currence has added more to the ttrenpth of the silver sentiment in Chicago than the so-called working ntn's meeting addressed by Mr. Car lisle. In :be first place, it was not a spon taneous movement of the workingmen all, but the whole thing was en '. t:teered by the "sound" money club, tnd a few bankers. The workingmen ho figured, in no sense represented the great labor organizations, and were simply "decoy ducks." In the sense of t-eing a workingmen's demonstration it was an out and out fraud, for it was jatent that a large n-ajority of 5he Rcrkingmen present were not in ae tcrd with the speaker. The boxes and " considerable portion cf the parquet -re well filled with federal office Ltldfrs, bankers, and other horny Landed sons of toil whose flashing diamonds, spotless linen and broad cloth lent eclat to the occasion, and pave a somewhat patrician tinge to an assemblage that might otherwise have tn too plebeian in character. These representatives of the labor element clapped most enthusiastically at every inference to "eound" money and "hon est" dollars, but the chaps who actually uo the work when they can get any tc do who had none of those dollars End did not know where or when they v,ould get any of them these men gen erally did their cheering en the other 5de. Secondly, the speech itself was ?-o weak, and so thoroughly permeated with false and ridiculous assumptions, that the average workingm.in saw through it at a glance and it fell per fectly fiat. Lastly, th meeting was conducted in a manner altogether un-American. Numerous burly policemen dotted the hall. a if a riot had been expected. Net a single attempt was made to in terrupt the speaker, although the hearty applause which followed his references to free coinage may have teen deemed offensive to those who ex pected all the applause to be on the ether side. After the two hours' address was completed. Col. J. C. Roberts rose and asked the privilege of propounding a question. He had to speak a number cf times in order to make himself heard; but finallly fixed the attention of the chairman and was about to ask bis question, when he was abruptly re moved from the hall by a policeman, amid cries of "Shame! Shame!" Col. Roberts- is himself a speaker of f-ome repute. He is as familiar with the money question as Mr. Carlisle, and has submitted to and answered in numerable questions when speaking. His summary expulsion was simply an outrage. -Other gentlemen, knowing that the meeting was a fraud upon the workingmen. and that the great labor ; organizations of the country are over whelmingly for free coinage, quietly passed around through the audience sealed envelopes containing the procla mation to workingmen. issued and ignea oy sovereign, uoaipers, ueus, McBride, Robinson, Arthur, Butler. McGuire, and nearly or quite all the heads of labor organizations in the Unite-d States. The hall was open to the public for a public purpose. Those desiring to do so had just as much right to distribute the proclamation there as they would have had upon the street, rrovided, of course, they did it without disturbing the meeting, which was a fact. But no sooner was it known to the management than the police, the nsbere. and others of questionable authority were at once set at work to stop the distribution. They did not succeed very well, but they tried hard nough, and the whole proceeding was suggestive of "Darkest Russia." A few more such meetings and "sound" money will be about the "deadest" thing that has ever polluted the atmosphere of Chicago. Ex-Con pressman Bartine in National Bimetal list. holders be excluded from the enum eration, the remainder of the five hun dred "representative" Democrats would make a rather thin assemblage, both in numbers and intellectual strength. However, this movement of the "sound" money Democrats will help the silver cause, and those engaged in it are entitled to our kindly encour agement. Nothing can tend more strongly to a crystallization of the sil ver sentiment than the extreme atti tude of those men who are determined that the producer and debtor shall con tinue to be robbed for the benefit of the non-producer and the creditor, and that America shall be bled to death for the enrichment of the money-lending classes of Europe. National Bi-metalliet. A Rothschild Pamphlet. Silver Knight: There it being circu lated throughout the country a xam phlet entitled "Plain TalK About Free Silver." which has been issued for fre distribution by the gold bug lie-mill of New York. Twentv millions of copies have been printe.l and sent on:. Rothschild has paid the printer's bill. Local variations are used m the differ ent editions distributed in the various states. A copy of it has reached this office. It is without the imprint of any publisher or printing house, end the miserable prostitute who wrote it was ashamed to place even a nom-uc-plume on it. The copy in our hand? was sent from Concordia, Kans., and has stamp ed on its title-page and cover the name of "Renard Bros., Groceries and Queensware. Concordia, Kansas." It is appropriate that Renard Bro?. should sell queensware, probably they are subjects of Queen Victoria. The pamphlet is marked "Price. 2 cents." but Renard Bros, give it away to every farmer who trades a bushel of corn for a spool of thread. The national bankers in country towns have all receive-.! ..onsignments of this pamphlet, with instructions to have it given away to voters by their local merchants, free of cnarge. if pos sible; if nor. to pay the merchants. When the merchants are in their debt or have to refer to them for favorable rating in the Rothschild-Dann-Brad-street reports, thev distribute it fre. If independent, they either refuse to disseminate such stuff, cr ask a re compense for so doing. If Renard Bros, belong to the former class, they have the pitying sympathy of the Silver Knight-Watchman; if to the lat ter, then the Silver Knight-Watchman hopes they are well paid tor distribut ing lying campaign stuff which seeks to induce the farmers to ruin them selves and thus ultimately ruin Renard Bros.

When be forced Sep tember wheat up to $2 a bushel , and held it there while the boy's stepped to his office and settled, he was regarded as the giant speculator of the acre; but the last we heard of "Old Hutch" he was selling- wedges of pie for five cents and shoestrings two for five.

A female patient presented herself at a French hospital for a rebellious hiccough, which had resisted all treat ment for four days. She was asked to show her tongue, and it was noticed that with the putting out of the tongue the hiccough ceased. The same thing has been since tried, and with success in other cases. All that is necessary apparently is to strongly push the tongue out of the mouth and hold it so for a minute or two. Ant Head In Sorcery. One of the most curious uses to which insects are put was related at a recent meeting in the Linnaean Society of London. It was stated that the Greek barber-surgeons of the Levant employ ed a large species of ant for the pur pose of holding together the edges of an incised wound. The ant held with a pair of forceps, opens its mandibles wide, and is bronght near to the cut being treated, so that it can sieze the two edges, which are held together for the purpose. As soon as the unfortun ate ant has obtained a firm grip of the cut, its head is severed from its body. Mr. Issigois of Smyrna, who described the operation to the Linnaean Society, said that he had seen natives with six or seven ants' heads hold together wounds in the course of healing. A similar observation was made some years ago in Brazil, which fact is in- i teresiing i rum an emuuiusH-oi -I view, as showing the independent ex ! itTiv! of the same custom in coun tries so far apart as Brazil and !

The woman who rushes from one function to another, almost turns her carriage into a dressing room, in cases of emergency. Ladies' carriages are provided with a fair sized mirror, cun ningly arranged pockets in which are hidden away the comb and brush, pow der puff, several fresh handkerchiefs, and a bottle of perfume, to mention nothing else. Fashionable women can renew their complexions as they pro ceed on their way, and return irom a round of visits looking as fresh and dainty as if they had just stepped from the boudoir.

J standard Democrats met at Dallas on the 21st, and resolved to le-organize the Demo cratic party of Texas on a gold stand- arc basis. How extremely conscientious and honftt some people are! Here are five hundred men whose rigid devotion to the principles of honor and justice impels them to take their stand bravely in favor of the pay ment of many debts at the rate of two dollars for one. some debts at the rate of four dollars for one, and all debts at rates away above those at which they were contracted. Not only are they determined, to pay their , own obliga tiens in appreciated and appreciating money, but "their honesty is so excess ive that they are determined to com pel everybody else to do the same. The die-patches do not inform us mhether hone6t money Democrats actu ally owe anything themselves, or whether the "honest" dollars which they so love are owing to them. A man's opinion as to what conttitutes honest money is sometimes quite seri ously affected by the position which he occupies in life, and whether he owes somebody or somebody owes him. The difference, of course, is only a trifle when stated on paper. Still it does have an influence occasionally, and it Is entirely safe to say that if the bank ers, money-lenders, and cukoo office- Attempted Bribery. The highest bid which the Republi can goldites of the east have made to obtain the votes of the Pacific coast for gold monopoly is the offer to give them the candidate for vice-president. Senator Perkins name is mentioned as the man who would draw the largest number of votes to the goldites, and it is proposed to offer him the nomination in exchange for a solid west for the Rothschild combination. There is no doubt that the west fully appreciates the kindly heart and generous senti ments of Senator Perkins; they realize that he would like to be for silver if he could, but they do not see how they "ars to be benefited by making him vice president. He would have no vote in the senate and no influence with the administration, because the vice-presi dent never has had or never expects to have any influence with the president; he is always waiting for the president to die so as to get his place, and that makes the president mad, just as the king is always jealous of the heir-ap parent. It is a notorious fact that the vice-president has lese influence than anybody else around the capitol. The head doorkeeper of the cenate has so much more power as to naturally ex cite the envy of every vice-president who has presided over the senate. No matter how much the west may love Senator Perkins, the suggestion of his nomination comes from the enemies of the people, and we do not believe that Mr. Perkins himself would like to be vice-president at the price offered. Exchange. The Gold Democrat and A It geld. The gold Democrats of Chicago evi dently think that their weakness justi fies a resort to diplomacy. They have attempted to strengthen themselves by endorsing Governor Altgeld for re nomination. The governor being un compromisingly for free coinage, ant that being the only issue before the people, it is rather difficult to see the high and lofty principle of these sound- money Democrats. Either they must have thought that they could capture the governor by offering him the bribe of their endorsement, or it must be a case of "anything to win." Judging from the manner in which their overture was received by the gov crnor, he seems to have felt about as the Savior of Man felt when Satan took him up into a high mountain and as a bribe offered him the whole world. of which, as Ingersoll intimates, the old fraud did not actually own a single grain of sand. Of course we are not comparing Altgeld with the Son of Man, but the other part of the comparison it all right, and we will stand by it. Exchange. Hunting Wild Horses. It is said that the wild horses and buffaloes have become so numerous in (Queensland, Australia, that measures have been taken to keep them down by shooting. It would be interesting 6port for a rifleman to hunt them, especially the horses, for, if the wild stallion is ike other animals, he would put uo a fight for life if slightly wounded which would give a zest to the sport such as is to be had hunting the eleplant, the tiger, the bull moose or the grizzly. It might be nearly equal to the man hunt the Indian Territory police find so interesting. A gallon was originally a pitcher or jar. regardless of the size. A Summer Resort Book Free. Write to G S.

He corrects the general impression that the country has little natural beauty. Portions of the highlands he compares to Switzerland and the White Mountains, and he says that one can never tire of the charm and variety of color in the landscape. Professor Bryce says that the Boers have retain ed to this day a passion for solitude that makes them desire to live many miles from any neighbor. What is life but what a man is thinking of all day.

A certain married lady on Bernon side sat up till 12 o'clock the other night waiting for her husband to come home. At last, weary and worn out with waiting, she went to her bed room to retire and found the missing husband there fast asleep. Instead of going dewn he had gone to his room. She was 6o mad that she wouldn't speak to him for a week. Woonsocket (R. L) Reporter. Xhe V. S. ratent Office. Some curious facts were made public lait wpck unon the presentation of Commissioner of Patents Se-mours re port to Congress. The report shows that the Patent Office has to its credit in the U. K. Treasury, S4,529,S88.33, a gain of 8173,357.96 since last report. Durincr the vear 189.., U'-'.oT patents were issued, of which 392 came to Iowa inventors: being one patent to every 4,877 population; 151 being issued to Nebraska inventors, being one to every 7.012; while Colorado received 215, be ing one to every 1,917. There are twenty-five American in ventors each of whom have received more than 100 Cnited States Patents:- Thomas A. Edison having issued to him 711 U. S. Patents; Elihu Thomp son, the electrician, receiving 394 pat ents: Francis II. Richards, a famous mechanical expert, residing at Hart- fnrd. Conn., who has received 345; Ed ward Weston, an electrical engineer, received 274; while Maxim, the gun ex pert, has been granted 131 patents for improvements in nre arms aione. The Commissioner's report further shows that there are pending at the present time in the patent office 130 patent applications which have been in the office more than ten years and five applications which have been pend ing for fifteen years. The new rules adopted, however, will compel all of these patents to issue within the com inc vear. Among6t the most valuable patents which were issued last week were two granted to the famous Harvey, of Harveyized armor - plate fame, the in ventions relating to improvements in car wheels, the treads of the Harvey wheel being glass hardened and so last lonsrer than the ordinary tempered car wheels. Albert Bierstadd received three patents for an improvement in cars which outwardly appear like an ordinary freight car, but which when unfolded form a car cottage having three rooms below the full length of the car together with an attic formed bv the slantinc root lhese cars are arranged so that two of them can be used connected side by side and when fullv spread out and open form a good sized hall, the structure being especial ly intended for the use of small travel ing shows who can thus carry their theater with them.

But after years and years he came back again, and his poor old father said unto the servants, 'Bring forth the fatted calf which has been kept for my son these years and years.''
