the vital 18S0E.
Let this be Mother answer to
the timorous. When Mayor Har-
rison of Chicago was asked the
other day whether 18 to 1 would
be in the next Democratic plat-
form, he replied:
"The Democratic party is not
in the bunco business. When the
Republicans talk about bimetal-
lism they mean 'the gold stand-
ard. When the Democrats say
bimetallism, they mean silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. There is no
other ratio and the two phrases
are identical. The silver question
will be one of the issues of the
coming campaign—not the lead-
ing one. It will be talked about
and urged to some extent, but
other issues will be in the fore-
front. It is nonsensical to talk
about the Democratic party for
saking silver or attempting to
relegate it because a change o
mind has been undergone."
There are some who fancy tha
the father of lies has been chain-
ed up for a thousand years, and,
of course, they §re easily deceiv
ed in accepting everything as
gospel truth. But there are many
who think a lie well stuck to is
as good as the truth, and it is
those against whom it is well to
be on guard. When, therefore,
it is reiterated that this, that or
the other issue will be abandoned
by the Democratic party, let it be
understood that the Democratic
party cannot abandon issues of
vital importance to the American
people. Silver is one of them.
The great party of the people has
never yet betrayed its principles,
and in ths present condition of
affairs it insists upon all of them.
It has no McKinleys blowing hot
and cold; pleading for silver and
then strangling it; dsnouncing a
contraction of the circulating
medium, and then contracting it
to the detriment of the nation;
piously protesting against "crim*
inal aggression," and then prac-
ticing it to the extent of wading
in blood. It stands for no hypoo-
rlsy and no double dealing. The
Democratic party is here meant,
not a few of its members. Onis
swallow does not maks a sum-
mer, nor did one Judas destroy
Christianity.

The Trust* tnjphe Country Districts.
The Fulton (Mo.) Sun puts the
case against the trusts very neat
ly: "In 1890 the white paper the
Sun was printed on cost us
$1300," says the Sun. "In 1900
the same paper (sams in quality
and same in amount,) will cost
us at present trust prices $2180, a
difference of $820 in the oost of
one item—white paper. Type
and ink have also advanced in
price, and the wages to employes
cannot be made any lower. The
Sun is between the Paper trust,
the Type trust and the Machinery
trust on one side and our sub-
scribers on the other. The Sun
is between two stones and the
mill is grinding."
Exactly, and the United States
government is furnishing the
grinding power. As the 8un
points out, uthe tariff of $6 per
ton on paper has enabled the In-
ternational Paper Co., a trust, to
advance the price of paper 68
per cent." There are tariffs also
on spruce wood and wood pulp.
The remsdy is in the hands of the
people. Withdraw the grinding
powsr by abolishing the tariff. We

Several pfraous standing In front of
a show window on Fourth street
watching a procession of Japanese
mice In a cage an they ran in at one
door of their sleeping apartment and
out at another with lightning rapidity
became involved in a dispute as to bow
many of the animal* there were. One
•aid there, were only two mice, while
others thought there were at least
three.
They were very active, curious little
animals and, Instead of being of the
proper mouse color, were black and
white, marked in large blotches like
Holsteln cattle or old fashioned swine.
The holes into and out of which they
ran were close together, and they chas-
ed around so swiftly that it was im-
possible to count them, for sometimes
there was a mouse at each hole; and
sometimes one outside and the others
Inside, and aometimes It appeared as if
there were Just oue long mouse in a
circle revolving on a pivot, with noses
and tails at Interval*.
The mad race was kept up for some
time, and Anally nil the mice disap-
peared as if by magic. One of the spec-
tators went into the store and asked
how many mice there were in the cage,
stating that be and his companions had
not bein able to decide, as they moved
teo quickly to be counted. A clerk said
there was only one mouse, and it was
impossible to count it except when It
was asleep snd, seeing a look of in-
credulity on the countenance of the
caller, raised the top sf the cage and
showed one little black and white
mouse nestling on a piece of cotton in
a eorner —Portland Oregonlan.
The Bottle at Ship Unrkn.
Dews to Chsrles It's time it was ens-
tomary to name and baptize a ship aft-
er she was launched, sometimes a
week or two after. The old Tudor
method used for men-of-war was still
in nse. Pepys* "Diary" shows that.
Ths ship was safely got afloat, after
wbieh some high personage went on
board with a special sliver "standing
cop" or "flaggon" of wine, out of which
he drank, naming the ship, and poured
a libation on the quarter deck. The
cup was then generally given to the
dockyard master shipwright as a me-
mento.
When did the present usage of nam-
ing and baptising a ship before she Is
sent afloat come in? 1 trace the last
explicit mention of the old method to
10S4, when the Royal Katherine was
launched (see Pepys). The first men-
tion of smashing a bottle of wine on
the bows of a British man-of-War that
i have found Is in a contemporary
newspaper cutting of May, 1780, de-
scribing the christening of H. M. 8.
