Mrs. William Astor ha 6 discovered a wonderful Egyptian snake ring, which literally writhes in constant movement on her finger. The ring is constructed of flexible gold wire, in which a ruby an emerald or an amethyst is firmly aet. The slightest movement of the Angers sets the wires quivering, and the ring scintillates and seems to go round and round the finger with a weird, serpentine movement. Liko Finding Hloncy.

There are three crimes which, no matter what may be the degree of their venality, are regarded by the world as venal. They are lyjng at poker, smug gling, and understating the age of a 4-year-old child. Where breathes the mother who will not fudge a little when it comes to the question of pay ing 5 cents for her boy or stealing for him a free ride? If the boy be large for his years, her period of men dacity lasts but a short time, but if he be undersized her equivocation ex tends far into the seventh year. Such a mother never hands more thun a nickel to the conductor when she and Tommy travel together; he might teep a dime for the two, or take change out of a quarter.

Who can say, after reading the fol lowing. taken from the Baltimore News, that man's memory for feminine wear is not discriminating and ac curate. A southern family, not over burdened with wealth, was blessed with six daughters. They were all in genious—the kind of girls to make a dress in the midst of fun and chaff, and dance in it at night. The cleverest daughter recently made a beautiful shade for the piano lamp from a pink evening dress, and trimmed it with roses from her last summer's hat. The same evening a young man called on her, and to low-tuned music they chatted. "How do you like our new lamp-shade?" she asked, demurely. The young man studied it for a mo ment. "The last time I saw it," he re plied. "I was dancing with it!" Sick Women Advised to Seek Advice of Mrs. Pinkham. [LBTTKR TO MRS.

Tli Gold Standard Knables Them to Ketaln Tholr Issue of "National Cur rency" Shall Government or llank Directors Issue Our Moucy? The advocates of the gold standard have a double purpose. First —they desire to make gold the only legal ten der for the payment of debts, public and private. I have discussed this question on former occasions and pointed out that the necessary effect of such a law would be to create a greater demand for gold, which would then be the only money legally avail able for the payment of debts, and thus aid the money-owning class and injure the wealth-producing class. The second purpose of the advocates of the gold standard is to make bank notes the only credit money. In response to your invitation I beg to submit a few arguments in support of the greenback as against the bank note. The greenback is issued by the government, and the volume of such money is determined by the people, acting through their representatives. The Supreme court has held that such a money can be made a legal tender. When a man has greenbacks in his pocket he has money which is avail able for the payment of his debts; if he has bank notes, his money is only good when the creditor is willing to accept the money. During the war, when gold and sil ver were at a premium, bank notes circulated on a level with greenbacks, and were never worth any more; the reason being that national bank notes are payable in lawful money, and the greenback being lawful money (and at that time the cheapest money) was used by the banks for the redemption of bank notes. .It is interesting now to hear these same bankers, who re deemed bank notes in paper when gold and silver were at a premium of over 100 per cent, talk about the dishonesty of a debtor, whether the debtor be an individual or the government, who would redeem his obligations in any thing but the dearest money. The bank note has been good be cause it had behind it the bonds and the greenbacks issued by the govern ment. If the greenback is good enough to stand behind the bank note, it is good enough to stand alone without any bank note in front of it. A national bank currency is objec tionable because it is gross favoritism extended to a few. A bill reported by the house committee on coinage, weights and measures in the last con gress provided: First—That the treasurer of the United States pay out gold coin in redemption of greenbacks and treasury notes; second, that the secretary of the treasury have author ity to issue gold bonds, drawing not more than 3 per cent, to secure the gold to maintain gold redemption; third, that national banks be allowed to deposit bonds and receive bank notes up to the par value of the bonds so deposited; fourth, that the tax on national banks be reduced. If this plan goes into operation, the difference in its effect upon the individual and the national bank may be stated as follows: The greenbacks are to be re tired and bonds issued. This will mean an increase in taxes to pay the inter est upon the bonds. The individual who enjoys no special privileges will find his taxes increased, while the na tional bank, that enjoys special privi leges, will find its tax diminished. Sec ond—lf the individual buys a bond at par, he will lose the use of his money and must content himself with the 3 per cent interest. If a national bank invests its capital in bonds at par it can deposit the bonds and secure bank notes to the face value of the tymds, thus securing a return of its investment and in addition to that it can draw 3 per cent interest upon the bonds. In other words, the indi vidual parts with his money and draws interest while the national bank gets its money back and draws interest be sides. The individual must eat his cake or keep it. The national bank both eats its cake and keeps it. This is fa voritism that ought not to be tolerated in a government which recognizes the doctrine of equality before the law. The moment the government begins to confer special privileges, those in a position to profit by favoritism begin to clamor for legislation immediately in their interest, and as a result the instrumentalities of government are used for private gain and the true pur pose of government forgotten. There u another objection to na tional bank currency, namely: That the national banks are given control over the volume of credit money. Power to issue money should never be entrusted to private individuals or private corporations. Jefferson was an opponent of banks of issue, and in one of his letters declared that his opposition was so persistent that he had been denounced as a maniac by those bankers who desired to secure this privilege from the government. Benton, in summing up the work of Jackson, gave emphasis to his fight with the national bank, and compared his work with the work of Cicero, saying that, when he destroyed the bank conspiracy, he saved America, as Cicero had saved Rome by overthrow ing the conspiracy of Cataline. Wendell Phillips has so well de scribed the danger of allowing private Individuals to control the volume of money that I quote fron a speech made by him a few years before his death: "In other words, it was the currency which, rightly arranged, opened a na tion's well springs, found work for willing hands to do, and filled them with a Just return, while honest cap ltal, dally larger and more secure, ministered to a glad prosperity. Or It was currency, wickedly and selfishly juggled, that made merchants bank rupt and starved labor into discontent and slavery, while capital added house to house and field to field; and gath ered into its miserly hands all the wealth left in a ruined land. "The first question, therefore, in an industrial nation is, Where ought con trol of the currency to rest? In whose hands can this almost omnipotent power be trusted? Every writer of political economy from Aristotle to Adam Smith, allows that a change in the currency alters the price of every foot of land. Whom can we trust with this despotism? At present the banks and the money kings wield this power. They own the yardstick, and can make it longer or shorter, as they please. They own every pound weight, and can make it heavier or lighter, as they choose. This ex plains the riddle, so mysterious to common people, that those who trade In money always grow rich, even while those who trade iu other things go into bankruptcy." Tl]e third objection to national banks of issue is. that the moment the national bank is permitted to issue money, that moment it becomes, for pecuniary reasons, the enemy of any government paper. The banks are now urging that the issue of paper money is a function of the banks, and that the government ought to go out of the banking busi ness. Our answer is that the issue of money is a function of government, and that the banks ought to go out of the governing business. The govern ment cannot afford to build up a strong financial interest hostile to the exercise, by the government, of the right to issue and, control both the metallic and paper money of the fla tion.—W. J. Bryan. Monstrous Perversion of the Taxing Power of the Government. From the Philadelphia Ledger (Re publican): When the government lends the taxing power to, individuals to permit them to make money at the expense of the consumer it expects them to use this great privilege Judi ciously and to refrain from stifling competition, the only means left to protect the consumer against oppres sive exactions. But when the manu facturers destroy competition by buy ing in plants or forcing them out of business, the consumer becomes the helpless victim of commercial high waymen before whom he must "stand and deliver." The St. Louis platform of the Republican party declared in favor of a protective tariff equally op posed to foreign control and to domes tic monopoly. The Tin Plate Trust i 9 an absolute monopoly which employes its opportunity to satiate its greed at the expense of the community. The tariff under which it practices its ex tortion is un-Republican, because it violates a corollary of the protective principle, namely, unrestricted home competition. Honest protection af fords the American manufacturer a margin equivalent to the higher wage rate of the American workman that be may meet the competition of Europe. It also implies that men desirous of engaging in such industries shall have an opportunity to do so. But while fattening on the profits of protection the trusts crush out competition, thus denying the consumer his natural rights. The most radical protection ist cannot justify the use of the tariff to sustain a rapacious monopoly. Proper and reasonable protection for American industry is right, but a tariff which enables a selfish combination to impose an outrageous tribute upon the whole American people is a mo'nstrous perversion of the taxing power. Labor ami Finance. The money that labor earns Is not the property of labor, but a mere loan granted him to sustain life. If the money is his, why can he not keep it? He must pay it all over to a common fund or starve. If he has a small sur plus, and keeps what he earns, his wages are reduced by the amount he withdraws from circulation. How could labor exist without returning to capital the money earned in wages? If labor kept all it earned, there would be none in circulation to pay more wages. This is true and It always will be true until labor Is permitted to pro duce money, which will become an ac cretion to the circulating medium, and an increase of wages by the amount of the increase. This is the whole finan cial question in a nutshell so far as la bor is concerned. Specimen of Henna f.oglc. Front the Kansas City Star: Doubt less Mark Hanna is a skillful political manager and organizer, but his great ness does not go to the extent of show ing to himself what his limitations are. He Is not a good speechmaker. He probably never delivered an ad dress that did not harm the cause he advocated. He made some foolish re marks on trusts at Cleveland, the pur port of which were: "Trusts are all right; they are good things and need to he fostered rather than restrained. But even if they are bad. the Repub lican party is the best one to give the country relief from them." That is genuine Hanna logic. Changing the ICxecutlve Mltul. From the Lafayette (Ind.)

The hope of Russia in developing Si beria is that the harvests of the gi gantic province will supply Russian grain needs. The efforts, therefore, re cently put forth toward attracting Si berian immigrants have been great, but it appears that the province is worthy of such inducements. Its five million square miles have at present a popula tion of four million people, but, owing to Russian energy, last year's addition amounted to no less than four hundred thousand persona. Mr. Monaghan, United States consul at Chemnitz, Ger many, reports to the state deparemexit at Washington, that this movement is unequaled anywhere except in the rec ords of past immigration into the United States. He says that Siberia, long looked upon as a'barren waste. Is destined to be one of the world's rich est and most productive sections. "In northern France wheat ripens in 137 days; in Siberia, in 107 days. Even strong night frosts do not injure the young seed. I may add that oats re quire in Siberia and the Amur country only 76 days, and in the regions of the Yenisei only 107. The frost period lasts only 97 days in the Irkutsk country. Speaking of the Yenisei, it may not be known that ten steamers carry the mall regularly on that river. The Obi has already a hundred steamers and two hundred tugs in service. As to the other Important development in Si beria, namely, mining. Mr. Monaghan reports that between Tomask and Kuz neslc there lie over twenty-three thou sand square miles of coal lands which have never been touched. The iron mines are particularly good in quality, yielding as high as 60 per cent. In eastern Siberia alone there are over four hundred places yielding gold. Homos for mo Fngiisii Army. The purchase of a large number of horses in the United States for the use of the English army in south Africa is made necessary by the fact that even with the elaborate horse registration system in force in Great Britain it is impossible to secure all the animals needed for immediate service at home. In time of peace the military estab lishment of England requires for its use a total of 13,599 horses. In time of war this total Jumps at once to 28,- 749. Horse buyers for the army are now at work, not only in this country but also in Canada, in Australia, and in Austria. Under the present arrange ment in Great Britain a sort of horse militia is kept always at the disposal of the government in time of war. Per sons having a number of horses at their disposal apply to the war depart ment, which sends an officer to exam ine them. Such horses as are found suitable are registered and a price set upon them. Their owners agree to hold their, always ready at the call of the government and receive In re turn an annual subsidy of $2.50 a horse. Under this provision 14,000 horses are registered, but even with this large supply upon which they may draw it has been found necessary to go abroad for a majority of the heavy draft and artillerv horses DKBUH'S m • The best remedy for LaflllPfn Consumption.

Unrelenting was the ardor He devoted to the cause.

Then the good man sank exhausted As he feebly made reply.

Clilne*e I> not Want Opium. The Chinese on the west coast of New Zealand have united with Eng lish colonists to hold meetings, form a committee and petition parliament to suppress the import of opium into tbe country. The Chinese are fewer in number there than they formerly were, almost all tbe opium used is consumed by them for smoking pur poses, aud this degrading habit is in creasing not only among themselves, but among the European youths of the colony, They, therefore, beg tbe government to limit and control the import of the drug. Almost nil right thinking men aud women feel sym pathy with these people in their en deavor to check the use of the vile drug.

A Pathetic Experience. John W. Page, of Stokes, Pitt county, who was in town on Friday to consultj Congressman John H. Small, has had quite a romantic and pathetic experi- j ence with his son, Alphonso C. Page, j Alphonso ran away from home six years ago and enlisted in the navy un der the assumed name of George W. Pollard, and gave John W. Pollard as his father's name. He served in the j Spanish war, and later was ordered to ! the Philippines, where he was promot ed to chief master-at-arms in the marine service. And although the father has not heard from his son for over a year, since May there has been an unclaimed letter lying in the Green ville postofllee, addressed to John W. Pollard, and stamped upon it the name of U. S. steamship Monadnock and the government frank. By some means it was supposed to be intended for Mr. Page, and he was notiiled to call and open it. This he did, and it proved to be a letter from Commander Nich ols, of the Monadnock, dated April 1, 1899, informing him of the death of his son in the hospital. Tho letter was complimentary to the young man, and j stated there was $l5O to his credit on j the ship's books. Mr. Page came to town to see J. H. Small, to whom he made the above statement, and Mr. Small at once took steps to procure the i money and If possible to have the body ; returned to Page's old home.—Wash- ! ington (N. C.) Gazette.
