Tln why does his party in its platform promise the country more whenever an international agreement can be had favoring bim&talism. , ' Ac cording to Reed his party doesn't intend what it promises in this regard, and the country doesn't believe it' either...

HOMETHIXO UK WOII.D EAT. A good etory is told ora Bos ton minister who is a strict veg etarian. ' In the course of I.fs pastoral career he was invited out to dinner by on? the sisters, whose name was Smith. O'd man Smith didn't go to church that morning. His wife bad told him she would bring company to dine, and he. with the aid of the cook, laid the foundation .for a superb repast. Mrs. Smith came home, but all the company she brought was the minister. They were sealed at the table, when the following conversation en sued: .. . . , .. "Mr. Jones' addressing the minister; "what part of the chicken do you like best?" .Really, Mr. Smith, I don't care about any chicken." "Well here is some extra fine roBt beef; try some of it." "Excuse me, I will forego the beef." . "I have some tender lambe now will that suit?" "I never eat lambe." "Well I know you cannot re fuse this boiled ham." "Pardon me, but I never touch bam." During all this ttme.i Smith's red beaded son who bad been watching operations, blurted out: - ' ra , Jperhaps the gentleman would like to suck an egg. The enjoyment of the dinner was spoiled, and little Johnnie had to submit to an interview with his Pa in the wood shed as soon as the preacher left. GEOItGK 111. AND DlsroMTIOX. Ccorgo III had at last reached its aim. in the eany uays 01 tne ministry his influence was felt to he predominant. : Iu its later and more disastrous days it was su prcmc, for Lord North, who be came the head of the ministry on Grafton's retirement in 1770. was the mere mouthpiece of the king. Nut only did he direct the min inter," a careful observer tells us, "in all important matters of for eign and domestic policy, but he instructed him as to the manage ment of delates in parliament, suggested what motions ajiould be made or opposed and how mcas ures should be carried. "He iwrved for himself all the patronage, lie arranged the whole mi of the admiration, settled the relative places and pretensions 01 minuter of tale, law officers and njcinl)crs of tho household, nomi nated and promoted tho English and Scotch judges, oppointcd and translated bishops and deans and dispensed other preferments iu the church. He disporad of military eovcrnmcnta, regiments and com' mifsions and himself ordered the marching of troops. He gave and refused titles, honors and pen sions." All thirimmense patron age was steadily ufwd for the ere ation of a party in both houses of parliament attached to the king himself. Geore was, in fact, sole minister during the 15 ... years which followed, and the shame of the darkest hour of English his tory lies wholly at his door- Greene's "Short History of En glish People." The foregoing bit of what might be termed ancient history, estab- ishes beyond peradventure, the claim that history does "repeat itself." The reign of Grover'l, in this country, and the reign of George If, of England afford, a 'perfect parallel so far as the ministry or cabinets of the two old humbugs are concerned. The difference is that George was in for life, and Grover.was elected for four years, and will have to retire next March, thank God. WHAT IS AX HOXEET DOI J.Alt? An honest dollar is one that will buy no more of labor or- of abors products at the time a -debt matures, than it would have bought at the time the debt was contracted Dollars are, or should I be, an instrument with which to measure values, like a yard, stick is an instrument to measure cloth and other articles, or scales are inst-uroeuta with which to weigh commodities. ' A dollar is a conveuiant in strument with which to effect ex- banges of real values. This,and nothing more. A dolhr that ap preciates in its .irehasing power is a dishonest dollar, and legisla tion that is intended to appreciate the purchasing power of the dol- ar, is an infamous attempt to rob the debtor class and the producer. If a farmer was to contract to deliver a thousand baslidri&t! wheat next June, and the legisla ture in January was to increase the size of the bushel, and his wheat when delivered was meas ured by the new measure the farmer would be robbed to the extent of the difference in the Bize of the measure on the day of the contract and the size of the measure on the date of de- ivery, wouldn't he. Apply the same reasoning w wie moDey question and you have it in a nut shell. This will apply to labor or any other article you have to sell.

Of corner lots, poor roads, rail road tracks, base ball ground and foreign noblemen hunting rich American wives. What portion of the globe it water? About three fourths Some times they add a little gin ' and nut meg to it. What is a town? A town is a considerable col- ection of houses and inhabi tants, with four or five men who run its government in their rSrtntere8ts. -" " What is a city? It is a big incorporated town with a lot of old coloi els in it who think that the earth quakes when they express "an onin ion." What is commerce? Borrowing a V for a ' day or wo. and dodging the lender foi a year or two. v i Into how many classess is mankind divided?

James A, Ward a "sound money orator, speaking to a 'sound money" club at Water- town, N. Y., said: "Wearenot going into the campaign with ny regrets because prices have fallen. iVe are not for high prices, though Bryan want them high. We want low prices. If the act of 1873, de monetizing silver, has depreci ated the value of commodities. then we thank God for it." We knew all the time that these dandy clnb fello vs who live in idleness on what others produce, felt that way, but gave them credit for hrvinir more cense than to own it. DIHYT "Gold, silver and paper money, one dollar as good a another." This Is the campaign slogan of the gold bugs. If sincere why do they propc se to retire the greenbacks and treasury notes from circulation. ' For one reason, and one only. To still farther reduce the amount of money in circulation and thereby render it easier tot the bankers and speculators to control and corner the money product! and labor of the peo p'.e.

' London, Sept, 3, The Times this morning publishes a lengthy etter from its Havana corre- pondent dealing with the state of affairs in Cuba, in the course of which he says: "Careful tudy for the past four months convinces me that, despite sen-. ous losses, the rebels are hold ing tbeir own against the troops. he wealthy agricultural dis tricts are completely under rebel control, and the whole sympathy of the islanders is witli the rebels. "Even Havana, which is more Spanish than any' other town or district, is permeated with ani mosity towards Sanish rule, and is honeycombed with intriguers on behalf of the rebellion. It is quite false to call it a color truggle. In the fighting rt-n':s of the insurgents the proportion is 70 per cent, of whites to 30 per cent, necroes. too Late for a compromise. "It is too late to compromisie by granting reforms. The Cuban insurgents .vould not now ac cept full c .onomy as the prict yielding their aims. I say his advisedly after a careful examination of the situation from all. points of view. Spain will be compelled to conquer or to abandon the Wand. This ir reconcilable attitude of the rebels is largely due to the wholesale execution of lebels after summary trial. These rastic measures only increase the hatred of Spam without det erring recruits from joining the rebellion. ' "Another reason is the hope- ess prospect of any rehabilita tion of Cuban credit while the island is under Spanish domin ion. Taxation must be heavily increased to pay the burdens of the war. Hence the people with vested interests prefer the risk and uncertainties of independe nce coupled with the earnest hope that at no distant date Cuba will become a State in the American Union" Philadel phia Times.
