If It suits the purpose of the money
power to have the Democratic party
Dominate some other man than Bryan
for President, they will brush Mr.
Bryan aside as If he were mere chaff,

have done that in '00. but were afraid

not be solidly united under the Demo

unite under such colors, at least half
of the leadership would be either non
progressive men, opposed to Innova

the agents or attorneys of monopolies.

tion of the republic, at the same time
being aware of the fact, that in Bry

apiolutees there would be many more
Populists than in Bland's caWnet and
among Bland's appointees. The vote

saved many an old Democratic office

bums are very grateful to Mr. Bryan,
and lie-come very much enthused when
ever his name Is mentioned In a compli
mentary way. They are ready, how
ever, to transfer their allegiance and
enthusiastic suport to any of the
Cleveland gang whenever party success
will be promoted thereby. The Popu

trained politicians. The apeal made
to the iMitrlottum of the Populists

of those reformers, wlw thought these

To Latch Votee:
Over u year ago the Republican party
In convention at St. Louis pledged it
self to the cause of Cuban liberty.
What has lM;n the record of the party
making this pledge since it came Into
power? A policy of procrastination
and pusillanimity.
Do the Republicans believe that the
government of Spain Is now able to
protect the lives and property of Amer
ican citizens resident in Cuba? Ih the
Republicans believe that the govern
ment of Spain Is now able to comply
with Its treaty obligations? Do the
Republicans Isdleve that the United
States should now actively use Its in
fluence ami good offices to restore peace
and give tndceiidcnce to the Island?
Noltoely can tell whnt the Republican
party In-lleves by what It says. Its
platform was maele to estch votes and
not to proclaim principles. But there
Is hope yet for the Cuban patriot. It
is alleged that on ad mill 1st ration proc

The 50-cont sliver dollar of the gold
ite press Is a myth. The stamp of the
government, combined with the Intrin
sic value of the coin, makes the silver
dollar worth 100- ceuts.
The bullion value of silver has liecn
depreciated by law. and if gold had
lieen treated as silver has been treat
ed, gold bullion would have a deceas
ed commercial vulue. Wben the use
of any article is limited the price of
that article must fall. When the use
of any article Is enlarged the value
must rise.
That Is exactly what has been
brought alwut by the laws which dis
criminate against silver and in favor
of gold. Remove the ban which the
government has placed on silver; open
the mints to the free coinage of the
white metal; enlarge the use of silver
money and the commercial value of
silver bullion will at once rise.
With the enlarged use of the bicycle
there came a corresponding decrease

horses were to arise, the price of these
animals would correspondingly In

annually to these officers, In addition
to their salaries, by the business inter

There are sixty-five consular posts
which pay good salaries because of
their Importance as international trade
centers. Sixteen of these, all located
In Great Britain, paid $125,000 In per
sonal fees to consuls, the year before
such fees were abolished. The con
sulate at Loudon paid Its incumbent
$40,000 in addition to bis salary of $5,
000. The Liverpool consulate paid per
sonal fees of $25,000 that year.
These fees are a tax on trade; a tar
iff levied on International commerce
for the benefit of Individuals. The
government does not pay them. They
are paid by business men whose busi

fresh, wild, somewhat testily:
"IIew Is tluit, though I am an older

Bismarck's re'ply was as reproachful
as It was epigrammatic.

r DO lelieve that mv uncle Is the
most selfish man who ever
lived!" exclaimed Bob Curzon,
"What has he done now, dear'" In
quired Cicely, who was not unaccus
tomed to hear condemnatory remarks
respecting that gentleman.
"Why, In the first place, darling, as
you are only too well aware," replied
Bob, "he refused his consent to our be
ing married, on the score of my youth."
"Well, dear Bob, Le may have been
right there," said Cicely, soothingly.
"Twenty Is a little young to get mar
ried, isn't itr
"Not a bit," answered Bob, Impa
tiently. "If a man doesn't know his
own mind at 20 he never will."
"But you may see some girl whom
you will prefer to me," suggested
Cicely. "Somebody who Is better look
ing, or more accomplished."
"What nonsense!" exclaimed the
young man, Irritably. "Do you think
I'm a boy, to change my mind every
five minutes?"
"O, no, dear," replied Cicely, caress
ingly, "but such things nave happened,
you know, and though it would break
my heart to leise you, I would rather
you found out you didn't love me be
fore we were married than after
wards." "But I do love you, my own little
sweetheart, and always shall, ana we'll
get married in spite o: all the old can
tankerous uncle-a In Christendom."
And as Bob spoke he placed his arm
around her and drew the; young girl's
head down on his broad breast.
RoU'rt Curzon was a student in St.
GeKrge's Hospital, and Cicely was a
nurse prolmtionejr at the same estab
lishment, aged n'Kix-ctlvely 20 and 19.
They liad fallen in love with one an
other seme six months previously, and
Bob had at once written home to his
uncle, Major Malnwaring, who stooel In
leco parentis to him, as he was an or
phan. There was very little opportunity for
making love in the hespltal, but the
young iteople were In the habit of meet
ing In the iirk whenever circum
stances permitted, and it was on a se
cluded seat that the conversation we
have recorded txk place.
After a short Interval, devoted to
what the novelists of a previous gen
eration were in the habit of calling
"tender passage," Cicely drew herself
gently away from her lover's embrace,
and putting her hat as straight as the
absence of a looking-glass would per
mit, inquired:
"What is this fresh news from your
ogre of an uncle, dear?"
"Why, I heard the other day," re
spondee! Bob, "that he was dangerously
ill, had a fall while hunting, and so I
thought It would be a splendid oppor
tunity while he was weak and 111 to
get his consent to our being married;
an dhere is the communication whlcu
I received this morning in reply."
And pulling a letter out of his pocket,
Bob extracted the couteuts from the
envelope, and rend the following
epistle:
"Honored Sir I has been dereeied by
youre uncle, Major Malnwaring, to
arnswer your letter lie tells me to
say as lww he can't write himself, but
be will s you, something as I don'i

sired, and remain, youre obedent seT
vant, JABEZ BUNCER."
"He's the olel man's valet and facto
tum," explained Bob, as he finished
rending the letter. "And now, don't
you think that It is the moat selfish lot
tery you've ever heard?"
"Well, dear, I think you ought to
make nllowancew- "
"look uere, Cle-ely," Interrupted Boo,
I know tills man, and you don't. I'm
the son of his favorite sister, nnd the
only relation he hns in the world; he's
an elel man, who can't exiHK-t to live

his day; been in the army in India, and
a- that sort of thing, you know, and
3 . he er er behaves in this sort of
way. I conslerar th. . it's disgraceful,
i has had his turn; Why can't he let
me have mine?"
"Bob, I've got on Ide'a," exclaimed
Cicely, suddenly turning round and
taking his hand In hers as she spoke.
"Let us have It, my de'ar," answered
Bob, In that, patronizing manner which
very young men are fond of assmnlng
In their dealings with the opposite sex.
"it may suggest someblilng, don't you
know."
"My ldea, Bob, Is this: Your uncle
wants a nurse; let me go down and at
tend Mm, and when I've restored him
to health nnd he Is completely conval
escent, I enn tell him who I am."
"What wewild be the gewd of that?"
asked Bob.
"Why, ef course, dear, he woulel be
no grateful that he would at once give
Ins cemsi'iit to eur being married."
"Ila! ha! hn!" laughed Bob. "O, you
little goew! you don't know my Uncle
Richard."
"You are unkind, Bob," snld Cicely,
drawing herself away from him.
"Don't bo cross, little one, I couldn't
I Jp laughing, 'pon my word, I could
n't." "Hut I've road of such things, Bob."
WOMAN
"Oh, yes, I dare say, In novels."
"Weil, loey do take place In real
life."
"Sometimes, pVaps, but "
"Don't yon think I'm a good enough
nurse, then?"
"My dear Oicely, you are the best
nurse In the hospital for a probation-e-
" interrupted Bob, perceiving that
the conversation was taking a wrong
turn. "Every one acknowledges that"
"Then why won't you let me go down
an see what I can do?"
"Well, my dear, I don't mind, of
course," replied Bob, slowly, "but do
you really think It will be of any use?"
"I shouldn't have sujgested It unless
I did."
"I must say that I think tt will be
labor in vain; but still, If you wish to
tr your hand at diplomacy, I suppose
I must consent."
"There's a sensible darling!" cried
Cicely, putting her arms round his neck
and klasinz him. "And now I will
show you what a woman can do."
Major Malnwaring was what is
known as a confirmed bachelor, When
Jabez introduced the young nurse, who
had come to him on the recommenda
tion of his nephew, bis first muttered
remark was:
"I hope to goodness she won't start
tidying things up."
Only one who has been left to the
tender mercies of a soldier servant for
nearly a week can Imagine the differ
ence which a couple of days made, not
only in the Major's room, but in the
Major, and nobody was more surprised
than that gentleman himself when he
found how much "the woman's trick,"
as he somewhat contemptuously ex
pressed It, added to his comfort.
Cicely had her surprise also, for in
stead of a worn-out, decrepit old man,
such as she had expected to find her
lover's uncle, she discovered that he
was a handsome man In the prime of
life, and though he was evidently suf
fering Intense pain from his fractures
and contusions, yet he bore it nearly as
uncomplainingly as a woman would
have done.
The weeks slowly glided away, and
the Major gradually grew stronger.
One morning he said In an apologetic
voice:
"I am going to ask you to to do me a
favor. Cicely."
"Certainly, Major," responded Cicel.7,
with the sunny smile that made her
Invaluable as a nurse. "What is it ."
"Why, I want you to write a letter
fer me to a scapegrace nephew of mine.
The truth is, this fellow has been trad
ing on the fact that he is my only liv
ing relative ever slnee he knew the
value erf the relationship, and at last I
think the time has arrived when I
ought to put down my foot"
"What has he done, then?" Inquired
Cicely, endeavoring to conceal the agi
tation which she felt.
'The young vagabond Is a medical
student at St. George's; but, of course,
you are aware of that, as he sent you
down here the only good turn he has
even tloue me in his life, by-the-bye
and I have always made him a gener
ous allowance. In addition to this, I
have paid his debts twice. And now
he writes to say that unless he has a
certain sum by to-morrow morning to
I pay his 'debts of honor,' as he terms
them, he will be ruined for life. Now,
I have made up my mind not to let him
' have any more money beyond his in
I come, and I want you to write and tell
I him that as he has broken his word of
honor, when he promised me on the last
I occnslem not to gamble again, I must
I ele-cline to have anything to do with
1 his debts of honor."
Cicely took down the address and
I made notes of what she had to write;
j but, strange to say, almost Immediate
ly afterwards she met with an acei
J d"nt and ran a pin Into her thumb In
1 such a way as to present her holding
a pen, and the communication had to
; be written by Jabez after all.
A few days after this Cicely had
be-e'U leading to him, when the Major,
after a short Interval of silence, ex
cla lined:
j "The doctor says I may get up to
morrow, Cicely, and that has made me
' think."
, "What have you been thinking
about?" demurely asked the pretty
I nurse.
"I have been wondering what on
pnrth I shall elo when you leave me
and go back to town."
"Just what you did befere I came, I
supieme," re'plle! the young lady, In
tently regarding the binding erf the
lKxk she was holding In her lap.
"No, I can never do that," said the
Major. "When I was a young man,
Clerly, I was very fond of a girl; In

"Are you sure you love me?" asked
Cicely, In a low voice. "That yoa art
