THE GIinnXDACK CHAZi : .
In Its essential particulars the silver craze
Is the greenback craze , and In the history of
that remarkable financial fallacy may be
read In outline the history , present and
future of the movement In behalf of silver
1'ach had Its origin In a period of com
mercial and Industrial depression In both
periods the prices of agricultural products
were greatly depressed , workshops and fac
tories were closing , the balance of trade was
against ns taxes were ; buidensome , money
was scarce and hard to get. and general
dissatisfaction prevailed The greenback
craze especially had Its origin In the Idea ,
very dlfTlcull to eradicate from Ihe minds of
men that In some way , Ihcy do not exactly
understand what , the government Is directly
or Indirectly responsible for all their woes ,
and having brought them on , Ihe govern
ment ought to do something for Ihe general
relief At that time money was the most
urgent need of every man and as the Govern
ment had a monopoly of the manufacture of
this article the greenbackers took Ihe ground
lhal a fiee anil unlimited Issue of green
backs would furnish a speedv cure for all the
Ills of society L"xa-lly how tney were going
lo get Ihe greenbacks after these had been
printed was n question Ihat puzzled Ihe
Krcenbackers just as a similar query now
puzzles the silver men To Judge from the
wild lalk now dealing aboul. some of the
free sllverltes seem to suppose that after
the frei- and unlimited coinage of the white
metal has been Instituted they will have
only to back a wagon up to the treasury
door state how much they need and have It
counted loaded and delivered al the expense
of Ihe gov eminent. The Idea that they will
bo oblige * ! to give their labor or something
clbo In e.\change for It forms apparently
no part of the silver program any more
than It did that of the greenbackers The
greenback craze had Its day and the wildness -
ness of the arguments advanced in Its sup
port finds a parallel In the mental obtuseness -
ness shown by the silver men in refusing
lo sco that a 50-cent dollar is only SO cents
and lhal calling II $1 or $100 will not in Ibe
least increase its value.
TIAT MONEY.
The idea that the slamp of the government
only is needed to make a piece of paper or
n bit of metal pass for Its faciT value Is by
no means peculiar to the greenbackers or
the silv ( rites It Is as old as the days
when kings flrsl arrogaled lo themselves the
right to coin or manufacture all the money
used In their dominions In the thirteenth
centurj M rco Polo and Nlcolo found n
flat inonp ) of the most aggravated descrip
tion In use In China. II was made of Ihe :
inner tough bark of the mulberry , was cut
In pieces not greatly dissimilar in sizeanil
bhape from our bilver quarters and was
stamped with the mark of the sovereign
There was no provision made for Its re
demption by a more valuable medium ol
exchange ) In fact , the emperor who devised
It had the greenback craze to Ihe fullest
possible extent , and Imagined Ihat to con
vert bark Into monej U was necessary tc
btamp U and call It money aud the tiling
was done So. as mulberry bark wat
plentiful , the Imperial mints poured fortli
mono by Iho wagon load , and , in order Ic
make It clrculalo freely. Ihe empeiors not
only paid their own debts w Uh it , but com-
mandrd that , under penalty of death , nc
one should refuse to receive It. the same
penalt ) also being provided for counterfeitIng -
Ing The theory looked plausible enough
to the imperial Celestial who devised and
put it into execution , but therw was a hitch
In it uhlth did not bcem t < > have occurred
to the royal Inventor The people were
compelled to take it , for after a few heads
liad been deftly removed from the shoulders
of thu owner * by the > court executioner no-
rj body declined lo receive It , but men whc
liad anything to sell always had two prices ,
one In silver or copper , the other In mul
berry bark coins , and Iho price vras so mucli
higher In the latter than In either of Ihe
former lhal as Marco bald , It tok a donkey

rice lo make a man's dinner In other
v\ords > there was Inflation of the currency
of Ihe most pronounced tjpe , with the In
evitable result of Inflation in prices also

We do not ntvd to go so far buck as the
time of Marco Polo , however , in order tc
witness an Illustration of inllatei ! currency
( jullo as noticeable as that which occurred
when mullK-rry baric was made legal tender
During Ihe civil war the confederate gov
ernment necessarily contracted enormous
obligations , and , having neither gold noi
silver with which to pay. Issued Its own
promises These , of course , were based on
its ability to meet its debts , and , as public
confidence ) In this respe-cl was never very

no ore b lleveil It could b kept. The con

hnd an Idwi xomonhat different , and tried
a plan of Inflation that to them ! > < mrd to
presptit many advantages. During the war
with lngland. rarh colony Issued its own
promises to pay , IxfMes which the conti
nental conErnos also Issued enormous sums
ot currency , all based on the success of the
lebclllon against Great niitnln. Most of
the rnlonles. however , chprl hpd the curious
notion that If the notes were Ismicd In large
denomination * , to be redeemed at a fraction
of their face \alun , they would , neverthe
less , pass current for the full amount.
Hence vast quantities of notes were printed ,
stating that tbe colony of Virginia or Noith
Carolina , or Massachusetts , as the case
might he promised to redeem this note after
the uar. In Spanish milled dollaro , at the
rate of40 to 1. or MO In paper money to on >
Spanish sliver dollar Prom the debates
on the subject it Is apparent that among
the sage legislators who superintended the
job there wrre not a few who fully ex
pected that thf > notps. Issued with this
proviso dearly printed on the face , would
pass current nt the valuation stated on the
face ; that a $10 note , to be redeemed with
one Spanish dollar , would pass for $40. As
a matter of fnct , they sunk to almost noth
ing , and one of the most serious problems
presented to the revolutionary fathers after
the war was the state of the currency.
INFLATING A METAL MEDIUM.
Even however , when the precious metals
have been emploved as currency , numerous
fallacies have sprung up concerning them ,
some of which had very serious social nnd
commercial results. In the reign of Ed
ward 1. of England an Idea was promulgated
that the king's stamp could make a piece
of gold having less than the accepted quan
tity of precious metal worth ns much as n
coin containing the full amount During
the reign of this king the currencv had
become greatly debased and a remedy was
proposed The king suggested an entirely
new coinage , nnd also that the circulation
of all other coins be absolutely prohibited
The scheme looked plausible and promised
well , but whan an attempt was made to
carry It Into execution it was found that
the available quantity of pold was not ade
quate to the emergency , so Edward ordained
that the pound sterling should contain three
pennies less of gold , equivalent to a little
more than 1 per cent , by which a considera
ble saving was effected. Theio were. It
appears , enthusiastic counselors of the King
who advised that no more than half the
usual weight of gold be employed , arguing
that the stamp was the principal thing nnd
that the coin could bo made of the full
weight by the addition of alloy , but most
were of the opinion that this was too rad
ical a step , nnd that the threepence In the
pound would never lie noticed by the people
while the king would make the difference
So much confidence was felt In the plan
that there was no hesitation In stating It
and the King's proclamation plainly declared
that the value of the pound had been thus
reduced The result was a very disagree
able surprise for the people took alarm
knowing that the value had been lessened ,
refused to sell their goods at the former
prices , nnd. as usually happens In such
cases , the prices rose to a figure that bore
no proportion to the debasement of the coin
A UAD EXAMPLE.
The lesson was lost , not only on Edward ,
but on his successors also , for repeatedly
afterward did the reigning monarch seek
to replenish his exchequer either by lessen
ing the amount of gold contained In the
pound sterling or by increasing the number
of pennies Edward HI was almost always
in need of money to carry on his wars with
France , and. following the example of the
first of his name , diminished the quantity
of gold In the pound , and went n ' r
further by Increasing the number ot pennle' <
to 2CC. a little later making a further In
crease to 270 Xot satisfied with these two
radical changes he proceeded also to debase
the silver coinage , not only by Increasing
the quantity of alloy , but also by reducing
the standard of weight. The result was al
most hopeless confusion In commercial
circles No one knew what values he wns
going to get for his goods , for even debased
currency from the royal mint was rendeieil
still more worthless by an admixture of
foreign coins , if possible , of less value than
thope of the realm It was death to Import
such money and the most rigid measuiea ,
such as searching all travelers to ascertain
whether they had foreign coins , were taken
to guard against their importation , but In
vain The climax was reached when coun
terfeiters in France and Germany found
out that there was a considerable profit to
be made by manufacturing coins of genuine
metal and of the English weight and sendlnc
them to be sold and circulated In England
They were as good as the English coins ,
some were much better made , the oppor
tunity was elzed wjth avidity and England
was flooded with a currency , legal , but al
most worthless. The evil continued almost
unabnted until the accession of Elizabeth ,
when decided measures were taken to Im
prove the currency by raising the standard.
A SINCERE INFLATIONIST.
One of the most sincere believers in the
power of credit was the famous John Law ,
the Scotch financier , who came near wreckIng -
Ing the whole French nation Law has been
much denounced as an unscrupulous scoun
drel , but he. In reality seems to have been
a pronounced inflationist , who had Implicit
belief In the power of credit , and considered
that it did not matter in the least what
was used as money so long ns the people
had faith In It. His Idea was to colonke the
whole Mlhsls-bippl valley with Frenchmen
nnd then set them to growing everything
that could be grown there and mining all
the metals , precious and otherwise , thai
were then believed to exist In almost In
exhaustible quantities In this new El Do
rado With this end In view , he organized
a company , and Issued stock The scheme
found favor with the people , who readily
Invested , nnd Law became n great man
Naturally , so nblo a financier , who was abli
to create millions of value with no tangible
assets In sight , could not be kept In th <
background , so nobody was astonished nl
his appointment an comptroller general ol
the French finances. In this capacity In
liad abundant opportunity to show wlial
credit could accoinplUh , and by Issuing
paper money In enormous quantities when'
ever It was needed he made times very
"tluih" Indeed. Everybody had more money
than he knew what to do with. It Is trut
that now and then some one called atten
tion to the fact that rents had gone up
that the necessaries of life were held ul
eight or ten times the prices which prevailed -
vailed before the government began to Issue
Its iioteb , and asked why this was , but Law
always had a plausible answer ready , and
when he had not asked his questioner whul
did It matter how much was asked , so lonp
ns he had plenty of money with which tt
IKXJ , and no matters went on until the crasl
came , and Law fled to avoid being torn tc
pieces In the streets He left the govern'
ment with outstanding notes estimated tc
exceed 1 925,000,000 , and of all the rnonej
he might have made , carried * away enl )

THE SOUTH SEA SCHEME
While John Law was testing the value o
credit lu France a number of imitators wen
following In his footsteps In England Thi
South Sea scheme , often Known as tin
"South Sea Hubble " was a financial projeci
of Inflation to similar to the Mlsslsslpp
scheme of Law that , coming as they dlt
about tbe same time , the two are often con
founded and sometimes supposed to bt
Identical. So far as the credit feature wai
concerned , there was no difference be
twcen them , the South Sea scheme being i
project for unlimited Inflation It was orig
Inally started by Robert Harley , earl o
Oxford , who , In 1711 , desired to fund i
floating debt ot about { 10,000.000. and se
cure the Interest by the duties on wines
tobacco and silk Purchasers of the turn
were aUo to become fchareholders In tin
South Sea company , a commercial corpora
tlon whhh was to have a monopoly ot tradi
with Spanlth America When the war thei
going on was closed by the treaty of L't
recht however the Spanish government re
fused to opuu Its American ports to Brit
Uh trade , and the company had no reasoi
for further existence But the director !
were itout hearted men who , as Implicit ! ]
aa Law , aiit-rttd tbat paper money uas ai
Rood as gold , no long ai you had faith de
termined to tarry out the scheme of In
flation already started and actually pro
posed to the government to undertake the
munagemcnt and payment of the national
debt Such confidence did their repre
sentations Inspire In the members of Parlia
ment that , In 1720. nn act was passed by
Parliament turning over the finances of the
nation to this lrre ponslble company. The
Inflation ot the government securities and
of the s'ocks of the company WAS enormous ,
and whrn the shock of failure came thou
sands were beggared. The government did
what It could , the directors were sent to
prison and compelled to disgorge all that
they had made , as well as to give up their
private property to the creditors of the com-
pany. all the assets of the comnany were
seized nnd divided but , after all , the Io s
to Individuals was very large and the credit
business received a blow from which It did
not recover for a lone time.

WILD-CAT CURUKNCY.
Everybody remembers what , In the slang
of the lime , were termed the "wild-cat"
banks that before the civil war swarmed all
over this country Every one Issued Its
own notes and conducted Us business on
the principles formerly advocated by the
KrccnbncKcrs nnd now by the sllveritcs ,
that calling something a dollar easily makes
It so Their notes were legion , and. as
these Institutions were constantly falling , no
one could he certain , oven when he had n
iwketful of money , whether he would be
able to buy his dinner with It. Counter-
felts were numerous , nnd whenever n cus
tomer presented a strange bill at a bank
window the teller would reach for his list
of banks to see If there was such nn Insti
tution as the bank whose name It bore nnd
whether It wns still In solvent existence ,
then for his "llank Note Detector. " to as
certain If the note was genuine. This was
one of tl.e evils of Inflation which could not
he endured In these days ot large accounts
nnd rapid counting , but there were others
No one , on hoarding or depositing money ,
could be. secure of the amount , for every
time a bank failed Its notes were valueless ,
nnd Innocent holdeis suffered. We have
fortunately , outgrown this system , but
something nkln to It would be experienced
in the case of silver should free coinage
prevail , for with every Increase or decrease
In the production of the white metal there
would be n fluctuation In the value of the
currency ; the silver dollar which one day Is
worth SO cents might the next be worth
only 40 cents , and a week later CO cents
Such Is the state of things now prevnlllup
In India and some other countries where a
silver standard Is In force , and that H should
be brought about In this country Is ncry -
disagreeable prospect.

"Your honor , " said Mr. D R Keith , one

"You are right. Mr Keith. " replied the

These preliminary arrangements having

"Have jou ever been married ? " asked the

"Well , where's your wife ? "
"She wuz dald , Jedge , de las 'time I heercd

"And you haven't heard from her since ? "
"No , sah , nalr wurd. "
"Have you ever been married. Nora ? "
asked the Judge , turning to the woman

There was much laughter at this throughoul

his command , "Take the arm of Bill. "
"Have you got a license Bill' " asked the
Judge , and Bill , from Ihe Inside pockel of
his vest , pulled oul a license.
"Bill , " said Judge Berry , In his most
ministerial tone , "do you recognize the wise
dictates ot Providence , that it is not good
for man to live alone , and also tbat it Is
the duty of man to multiply and replenish
the earth' "
"Yasser , Jedge " said Bill fervently.

The woman nodded her head , but her lips
made no sound
"I now pronounce you man nnd wife , " said
the judge , and some Irreverent bystander
said. In a low- tone of voice , "And may the

The woman puckered up her mouth and

Then I got mo a long necked battle , filled

He opened Ills jaws to nab me. That was

ally performs feats In a private way that arc
no more wonderful , perhaps , than his stage
icrformanccs , but which possess a singular
( juallty of human Interest For Instance , a

and said that his father had fallen so com-

spiritualistic medium that he would transact
10 business without ndvlco from the spirit
and and It was feared that the old man
w'as going to bring destruction upon himself
through his serious attention to the ghosts.
Some time ago the son stated the heavenly
guides had ailvlEcil their worshiper to Invest
in some mining stocks of doubtful character
nnd he had declared that he would take the
[ lolntcr. The son was greatly alarmed and
he had come to Kellar to learn If by means
of the magician's talent the \cnerablc dupe's
faith could not be shaken In these shades
that come so good-naturedly from the land
of the unknown to advise him In everv-

of the heavenly truths come\ed their mean

upon ordinary slates.
Kellar had exposed the notorious Dr
Slade at Philadelphia In some slate-writing
phenomena before the Slebort commission
and he knew the complete science of con
veying messages from the abodes In the
eternal stars to some weary prilgrlm here
on earth The story of the young man
gained Kellar's sympathy and he arranged
a scheme to thwart the spirits and deprive
them of their pious old victim.
The son departed happy and upon meet

son and he gladlj accepted an Invitation to
attend a seanco for the new medium and get
some more advice fiom beiven.
Thereupon the son simply Informed Kollfar
that his father's name was Andrew , tl'at
his wife's name was Martha , anj that the
name of his daughter was Susan , frni.ppcd
with this meager but siatisf > cttry ila'a Kel
lar prepared a campaign against Uie tl'irlts
An appointed hour found the old man his
son. and a friend of Kellar's thi're hv spe
cial Invitation to witness tlij performance
seated In the library of 'he Magician s l.ninu.
Across the knees of the old man lay a bun
dle of a dozen new spates , which lie had
brought in his desire fo defeat anj ilnging
In of fake slates Presently Kellir made
his entrance , and without any delay pro
ceeded to the business of the occasion Strip
ping the library table of 4ts lamps , books
and covering , he remarked casuilly tl'at
the moquctte carpet cf the room would
probably Interfere somewhat ? w'th the nag-
netic control of the spirits , hut that he
thought'he could manage his ghosts all
right. At his request , they * -xauilnii the
table , and , failing to iind any s.i'apic de
vice about it , they took seats. K llar In
structed them to draw their chairs close to
the table. The old man sat opposite tl'e '
magician , the son and the friend were at
either end. The room , was < brilliantly Il
luminated , and remained so .llirou-shout the
seance. After a paus . Kellar spoke In a
low tone , cautioning the otheis to remain
perfectlj quiet , to make uo remains and to
ask no questions until after the fapirits
had had an opportunity to .manifest them
selves In making these preliminary ar
rangements. Kellar's manner was solemn
and mystic , his pale face was inscrutable
while his eyes swept from one to another of
the partj in those stern an 1 challenging
glances which somehow make all vic
tims of mediums feel meek dn-1 t'ttrrly
incapable of doing anv thing * o offensive as
to expose a fraud Presently no. noK
the old man's slates from the table and
carelessly inspected them. They were of
many Kinds and sizes , some in plain wooden
frames , some in the decorated borders which
school children admire Picking up a small
slate , the wood of which was stamped with
figures letters and drawings of animals
the magician asked the men to extend their
hands , one over the other to the center
of the table A little stack of six hands '
having been made Kellar placed his long'
slim left hand on the top ot the stack.Vlth
his right hand he thrust the slate under
the table , keeping his thumb always in
sight , lion ever. Just above the edge of the
table. There was another moment of still
ness. . Opposite the magician sat the old
man. motionless and awed his eyes upon
the pale expressionless face of the- pretended
medium If some ghost had then arrived
who was not used to serving mediums he
could have found nothing in his ghostly
experience to explain the meaning of these
four still figures , seated In silence about
the little laWo
Pret.cntly Kellar drew the slate from
under the table All eyts were Instantly
upon it However. It wat. still perfectly
blank Kellar ejed It wistfully and in u
tone of disappointment whispered "The
spirits are a trifle slow this evening"
Again he thrust the slate under the table ,
always keeping his thumb In sight In less
than ten seconds he said"Let us look
again ! " When the slate came Into view It
was found to be covered on both
sides with writing , done In a
hand too fine for anj human being
to have Inscribed in such brief time More
over , the writing was In seven languages-
Japanese. Greek. Hlndostanee Arabic , Chi-
iitse. Russian and Navajo Indian. The old
man had no knowledge of Japanese or Greek ,
nor Hlndostanee , nor Arabic , nor Chinese
nor Russian , nor Navajo Indian , but this
exhibition so paralyzed him that be didn't
oven ask for a translation
"Thunder1" he whispered excitedly to hl
son , "his beats anything I ever saw ! "
"Didn't I tell you BO' " replied the young
man "He's a daisy ! Shut up now , nnd
wait for the next act "
Kellar presently addressed the aged vic
tim "Pleaso select a slate and write upon
It the name of some friend who has passci
to the other side of life"
The old gentleman picked out a slate
and writing a name upon it laid the written
tide downward and slid it across the
table to Kollar. Taking It between thumb
and linger the magician slid it under the
table as before , while the company agalr
stacked hands in the center Kellar said
that the hand part of the program was a
condition Imposed by the spirits to perfect
the magnetic harmony and concentrate the
atmospheric thought currents , which other
wise would serloubly Interfere with the
travel of the shades and make a mobiliza
tion of any particular force of splrituai
Intellect next to Impobslble "Gosh , " salt :
the old man
The magician presently drew forth the
Elate , but again It wns b'apk He murmured
In chagrin and thrust It hack once more
Immediately the scratching of a plate pen
cil could distinctly be heard , nnd In H very
few moments three hollow raps sounded
When Kellar brought forth the slate It
bore these words "Dear friends , we are
happy to be able to send vou a menage
through the medlum&hip of our dear brother
Tell Andrew that we are overjoysJ In his
faith , that his loved ones are guiJ ng Ms
every step We are a powerful ba&'l. and
will not let him go astray He cannot feel
us , but we touch and embrace htm every
day If we could only penetrate the thin
veil there Is between us , he would * ' ' 0 John ,
Martha and Susan standing over him. God
bleks you all "
The old man's emotion upon receiving
this mesbdgo wis very great He bad ret
altogether expected that the raeJlum could
corral his own departed ones 'rom tbe In
finite spaces of the universe In a voice
hoarse with feeling he lequestcd tbat this
Interrogation ( should be propounded "Shall
1 mortgage tbe farm and luvsit in rr.mlng
stocks ? ' Almost at once tbe ulate wki
brought back , wllh this answer "Do so liy
all means
Trantported , overcome hy luls "roof cf
the care and devotion ot tne tplrlts th ild
man leaned heavily against the table nut
at this moment a vivid flash of llgli'mni ' ;
filled the room , blinding the eyes with Its .
fhlvprinn brilliancy and stunning the com- ,
i ny with astonishment. wh n the lUu- (
inlnatlcm became normal there were but
hre men at the table The medium lu.d
vanished.
All but one of the slatrs wre pone Vpon l
this was written "The flash of light vhl'-h
ifiB Just darilcd you will lm 'he limn * of
revealing within twenty-tour hours that
what > ou hnvo seen and e p'rlo/icod hete
tonight 1 * not the work of iplrlt * . 'nit of a
fellow mortal HAURY KKI.LXU"
At the door stood n grave Rprvant who
Indicated the exit with one ralm gesture
The company arose nnd groped their way
toward the street The old man went first
and after him his son As Kellar's friend
was about to step across the threshold the
term of the great manlclan appeared
motioning to him from nn alcove and then
over coffee nnd cigars Kellar told the
Mory of the seance supply house where ho
imrchased a collection of the different kinds
of slates manufactured In the United States
These slates he placed In the room under-
neith the trap first covering several of
them with writing In the seven different
languages. The preparations were all com
plete with the exception of an hour's re
hearsal with Hartley , his chief assistant
The cues v ere thoroughly understood be
tween the magician and his silent and coolheaded -
headed accomplice. The seance commenced
Kellar picked out a slate which was nn ex
act duplicate of one of those upon which he
hnd wtltteti This ho holds under the table
a * described Withdrawing It to see If the
spirit has written , he hastily pushes it
back with the remark that the spirits were
a trifle slow that evening This is Uarnej'B
cue. rnderneath on a temporary scaffold
the counterfeit spirit unbolts the trap ,
thrust upward an arm and grasps the
slate from his master's hand Ilraivlng It
through the trap he picks out Its duplicate
from the collection which has been prear
ranged , nnd deftly , without a sound , places
It under the fingers ready to receive It. Im
mediately the bogus medium exhibits the
slate written In strange languages as de
scribed. The piercing glow of mysterious
light AN as a magnesium flash operated by the
magician's photographer hidden behind the
curtains , who made an exposure of the scone
at the moment when Barney was passing
up the last slate Keller had all hands ex
tended to the center of the table , not for
the purpose of centralizing the magnetism
but to draw nil eyes over the table and pre
vent any possibility of Barney's arm being
seen Within forty-eight hours after this affair
a photograph was In the old man's posses
sion. It was a very good portrait of Uarnev
passing up a slate , upon which was written
holy advice from the sky. H. F. JOKO3A.

Trcr Cut I7 ivtn. n HrlilKc lliitiiril mill

"Today Is the anniversary of Waterloo
says the Pall -Mall Gazette of June IS
Next year the day Is to be celebrated In a
fashion which one feels would have been
peculiarly distasteful to the austere heio of
the fight. A 'grand collation' Is to be spread
on the historic hill , and to the duke of
Wellington there was to have succeeded
Colonel Xorth By the time , however , the
champagne corks are popping , the field of
battle will have been Improved beyond rec
ognition and the returning guests will be
able to book their places from Mount St
Jean via Wavre or Bralne \lleud
"It Is no doubt desirable that the study
of art and history should be rendered easy
to the public , but It is beyond question that
an appreciation of Fra Angellco Is to be ob
tained by being hustled through the Plttl.
nor a grasp ot Napoleonic strategy from
a railway embankment In Flanders How
ever , it is the hour of the 'personally con
ducted , ' If he has not 'stabled his horses
In Peter's' he has at least deposited his
sandwich papers In Notre Dame , nnd If he
has not climbed the Alps on an elephant
ho has climbed the RIgl behind a steam
engine. It is true that the hurrying of
many feet past the masterpieces of the Plttl
will not detract from their value , and that
If the side of the RIgl has been seared with
Iron you may still watch the sunrise from
its summit ; Indeed , by taking thought , man ,
by the aid of a wooden platform , has even
added a cubit to the mountain's stature
and so extended the horizon by perhaps
half an inch , but from the point of view
aimed at , the innovations of Waterloo are
deplorable.
"After all. most people visit a battlefield
with a view to picturing more vividly to
themselves the scenes which took place
there , but that Is precisely what the future
pilgrim to Waterloo will never succeed In
He will , on the contrary , only obscine his
vision. Somewhere here , no doubt , Plcton
thundered out his last order , 'A volley , and
then charge1' Somewhere else Napoleon
sat motionless on his horse , pointing with
his hat to the English lines , as the guard
strode past with a roar of 'Vive rnmpcreur1'
but the pick and the shovel have done
more than obliterate the old landmarks ,
they have substituted new ones
"The construction of the 'Lion Mount
had already seriously affected the original
contour ot the ground and that without
any compensating advantage. The natural
point from which to view the field was , it
might have been Imagined , the hill from
which Wellington surveyed It. and not the
summit of a preposterous sugar loaf , the
very height of which reduces the historic
valley at its foot to the apparent level of a
plain Hvcn If there were any virtue In
mere inches , the erection of a Vendotnc col
umn would have supplied all that were nec
essary without interfering ; with the forma
tion of the ground.
"Now to the mount there Is succeeding
the railway Last week the ragged end of
the embankment hung over the Charlerol
road close to the Gordon monument , In
another month or so it will have stretched
Itself across the field , and the face of the
country will be hopelessly changed. Nor
Is this the only alteration The Charlerol
road has been thoughtfully widened to
meet the requirements of a non-existent
tratfle , and the quaint paved causeway
straggles disconsolately along through a
bed of deep sand The curious avenue of
trees which swept the walla of La Hayc
Salute and rolled up the opposite hill past
the houses of La Belle Alliance , has hern
cut down , though , with unspeakable solici
tude for future generations of hero wor
shippers , n new avenue has been planted on
the edge of the broadened road The hedges
through which the Forty-fourth hurst as
they rushed behind Picton on Ney's columns ,
have disappeared and so have the beech
tices which once surrounded Ilougoumont
"It must not , however , for a moment bo
supposed that all these improvements arc
to be. viewed for nothing. The modern Bel
gian peasant attacks the visitor to Waterloo
with immoderation and demands English
silver most persistently. The conductor ol
the char-a-banc , which conveys you to the
field , sturdily claims backsheesh for the
sole service of having relieved you of your
f&to. From the moment you leave the sta
tion until the moment you return you are
pursued by a crowd of ragged ui china
howling 'Charlie' at the top of their ugly
voices , or Insisting upon the purchase ol
the most ridiculous mementoes At the
gates of La Hayo Salnte , where the brave
Germans fell to a man after having ex-
haiibteil their ammunition , a farm girl In-
vltes you to enter , and then bars your exit
with a belated demand for half a franc a visi
tor. At Ilougoumont they have learned tc
Improve even upon this , a lady makes terms
with while you are in the gate for admis
sion at the rate of half a franc each , but
this > ou learn to your disgust on your de
parture , does not Include an additional
charge of half a franc each for the service
of the guide to the farm from whose clamor
-you have vainly endeavored to escape during
tbe entire length of your stay
"Such , In sober truth Is the condition ol
the field of Waterloo today What it will
he when the railway is opened and the
dejected battalions of the 'personally con
ducted' are poured out on It is one of those
things It Is better to suspect than know "
