AUGUST MAGAZINES.
A study of the Oriental Bismarck,
LI Hung Chung, who Is soon to visit
the United States for the first time, is
par .excellence the feature of the Cen
tury this month. It Is written by ex
Secretary of State John W. Foster,
who was employed by the emperor of
China to aid Li Hung Chang In nego
tiating peace with Japan. Marlon
Crawford's Illustrated paper describ
ing the Vatican is also a specially note
worthy article. In addition there is
a plentiful variety of midsummer fic
tion. II II II
Most of the current Forum is devoted
to politics. Senators Cullom and Morrill
and General Porter exalting various
phases of Republicanism and Charles
S. Gleed and T. S. Van Dyke arguing
certain branches of the currency ques
tion. Apart from politics, however,
Julius H. Ward's study of Harriet
Beecher Stowe. and J. B. Bishop's pa
per on the "Social and Economic In
fluence of the Bicycle" are the recom
mendable features.
II II II
In the Cosmopolitan this month Ho
bart C. Taylor, who Is contributing a
valuable series of papers on modern
Spain, dwells entertainingly on " Cor
dova, the City of Alemorles." Another
readable feature is a narrative of Fre
mont's retreat from the. San Luis val
ley, by the only survivor of .that fa
mous expedition. Amelia S, Barr has
a strung story In this number, entitled
"A Daughter of Folly."
II II II
McClure's for August Is a fiction
number, including among its conttibu
tots Clinton Ross. Octave Thanet, Ste

son, Anthony Hope and Annie Eliot.
"Gladstone at Eighty-six," by William
T. Stead, Is an uncommonly Interest
ing "human document" In this maga
zine. The portraits given ot England's
grand old man are worth many times
the Magazine's cost.
II II II
A critical review of the life and work
of Johannes Brahms by Edgar .Still
man Kelley, In connection with which
appears a fine half-tone portrait, is
the noteworthy feature of the August
Looker-On. A paper by Harvey XV.
Loom la on "The Art of Accompanying"
Is also worthy of recommendation to
all setious musicians.

Out of a !!ge and well-varleil fable
of contents In the Home Magazine for
this month we pick for special notice
a carefully prepared and lavishly Illus

titled "Drunkenness as a Disease." It
is an Instructive exposition of the prin
ciples of the Keeley treatment. It de
serves to be added that the magazine
as a whole continues to improve at a
pace which Is attracting general atten
tion. II II II

How a Moonshiner Collected a He
vvnid Ottered Tor His Capture.
"Cap" Nelson is a moonshiner whose
stills in Clinton county, Kentucky, have
never been found. The revenue officers
have endeavored for years to catch him,
but the nearest they ever succeeded was
about two years ago, the details of
which raid was told a Star reporter by
Thad Arnold, one of the deputies who
accompanied the posse.
"We left Point ' Burnslde." he said,
"and stopped the first night In Monti
cello, starting early the next morning
for Boston mountain, near which Nel
son was known to live. As we rode up
the narrow bridle path, that Is the easi
est way to the top of the mountain, a
mountaineer met us.
" 'Howdy, strangers,' he said.
" 'Howdy,' we answered.
" 'Uoin' to Albany?' he inquired.
" 'Yes.'
" 'Wall, I reckon I kin do yo'uns some
good an' make un" hones' dollar," he re
marked. 'One of yo' all Jess git down
an' come hyar.'
"Our leader dismounted, and the
man said, cautiously:
" 'Tliar's a feller named "Cap" Nelson
hyar, an' that's rewards fur 'im. Ef yo'
all will bring some men hyar, I'll go
hulvers.'
"After a little sparring a, deal was
made with the fellow, who took us to a
house for supper, where he said Nelson
had an engagement to come that night.
We watched the informer carefully and
kept our weapons ready ior use.
"Yo'uns all go up yander in the loft
an' keep a sharp lookout. When he
comes Jump right down an' capter im
suddent. Take me, too, for my hide
wouldn' be worth shucks ef they hed
any Ijee he war given away.'
"We were a little suspicious, but kept
a close watch upon the man. He was
not out of our sight except when he
went to feed the horses.
"About the time It grew dark there
were sounds of horses' hoofs and our
spy whispered up the loft: 'He'll ride
up an' I'll go out an' see im an' stop 'im.
He won't come In c'ause thar's two oth
ers with im. When yo' all hear three
pistol shots yo' kin konw It's im. oit
yo' critters an' surroun' im.'
"We started after the horses, the pis
tol shots were heard as we reached the
log stable. The horses were gone, the
lights were out in the cabin, and when
we got back It was deserted. We final

IF WE HAD FREE COINAGE. -
From the Times-Herald.
Suppose It became a reasonable certainty
that the United States would adopt the
policy of free coinage of sliver at 10 to 1.
From that moment hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of men would rush into th
silver market to buy silver, expecting that
they could turn it Into silver dollars that
would be worth 129 cents per ounce. Un
der such a demand sliver would advance
rapidly In prlco until it reached very near
ly, perhaps Its full coining value. For a
few months, uerhaus for a longer time.
we would have an era of speculation such
as has not been' witnessed In many years.
The gold speculation or the war wouio.
be repeated on a larger scab', for this
speculation would not be confined to the
United Htates alone, but would occur
wherever there was silver to buy or sell.
Families would melt down their silver
ware and turn It Into bullion, while sil
ver mining would be stimulated as never
before. Fortunes would be won and lost
in a single day, for under the varying ru
mors cunstantly set atloat at smii pe
riods the fluctuations would be wide. Our
gold speculation era Is not so far back In
Urn mist as to be forgotten, and the daily
and weekly fluctuations of that time drove
men wild with the alternating emotions
of hope and despair.
II II II
Snph In ;ill probability would be the re
sult of free coinage, and this is 111 fact
what the free silver men allege. J'hey Bay
that this extra demand will
price of their favorite inelajl
lne by human experience Hi
This would all be for the a
benefit of the mine owners, the owner
of silver and the lucky speculators.
Where now would the people, those who
are not speculators, but are workers and
producers, come In? What advantage
would they have? The silver dollar would
become intrinsically more valuable from
day to day. and Instead of being worth
but IS cents, as It Is now. It might become
worth 100 cents. It would fluctuate, how
ever, just as the market price for silver
fluctuated, and sometimes be worth more
and sometimes less. As money as a
measure of value It would be the worst
possible. It would resemble a yard-sMotc
that one day would be twenty-five Inches
long, another day thirty inches long, the
next thirty-six Inches long and the next
back to thirty again. No person could buy
and no merchant couM sell goods with
such a measure us that. .Meant'me gold
would disappear from the currency alto,
gether, for no man would pay out gold
either for debt or commodities when he
could use silver of less value or of a fluc
tuating value. F.ven the sliver m-h admit
this when they declare that they want
free silver coinuge for the very purpose of
obtaining money in which to pay debts.
II II II
But whether they admit it or not. It Is
the unvarying law of finance that an In
ferior money drives out the superior.
Our own monetary history rurnlshes alt
the examples of this truth that we need.
But this would not be all. By and by the
demand and the use for silver would de
crease and Its price would decrease, grad
ually sinking hack to Its real commercial
ratio with gold. We would then have, a
Mexico has. a depreciated money, and
our silver dollar would not be worth quite
as much as the Mexican dollar. Mean
time we would be obliged to carry on our
commerce with the rest of the world on
the gold basis Just as we did during the
war subjecting ourselves to all the an
noyances, perplexities and expense of an
adverse foreign exchange.
II II II
Is It worth while to go through so much
to get so little? Are the people who can
not sroflt by changing our money stand
ard willing to subject themselves to all
these disadvantages for the purpose only
of putting extravagant profits into the
pockets of the mine owners? .
