The demand for the free and un limited coinage of silver comes main ly from the West and the South. There is not much said about it in the Eastern and the Middle States, where the masses of the people give themselves very little concern about it either way. The leaders of the parties are almost solidly against it. Why are the people of the West and the South clamoring for it, while the people of the other sections are indifferent, if not opposed to it? Sim ply because the Eastern and Middle States are the money lending States, money is plentiful there, it can be borrowed on reasonable terms, the farmers have but little occasion to borrow, and the want of money is not generally telt as it is in the West and in the South. It is useless to talk about the large volume of money in circulation, about . the twenty-four dollars per capita, compared with the fifteen or ten dollars per capita in past years, when the masses of the people were much more prosperous than they are now. There might be double the volume of circulating medium, dou ble the per capita, but you couldn't convince the masses of the people there was money enough if they couldn't get it when they had some thing to sell, or wanted to borrow it. This is precisely the predicament the West and the South is in. The great banks of the country which have it in their power to control the volume of the currency, to expand or contract it at will, are in the Middle and Eastern States, and when the banks of the West and the South have a demand for more money than they can supply they must go to these big banks to borrow it. There isn t usually money enough in the West when the crops begin to be marketed to move them, nor money enough in the.; South to move the cotton crop. The grain and; cotton buyers must wait until the local banks can arrange with the Eastern banks for the extra amounts needed. Wber the Treasury first began to need gold to keep up the reserve and before Secretary Carlisle made his first issue of bonds, bills were so scarce in the West that bankers sent several millions ot dollars in gold to the Treasury in exchange for bills of small denominations. Nothing but a currency famine would have in- duced them to do that. , Every one knows who knows any thing about it that there is a very great scarcity of money in the South and West, and every one knows who knows anything about it, too, that this1 scarcity is at the bottom of the demand for the unlimited coinage of silver. That is the only way by which; the people think the volume of the currency could be increased. They want more money, they have need of it, they believe it would make times better and that is why they are demanding the free coinage of silver. But they are expecting too much from that. If we had free coinage now and the mints were put to work to their full capacity it would be some time before the effect would be felt. The coined dollars would not go at once into circulation, but into the hands of the men who owned the bullion offered for coinage. It would trickle slowly into the chan nels of trade, but it would not come to the speedy relief of the Southern and Western business men and far mers, who needed it. It would doubt- less help in time if the coinage went steadily on, but it would not givetie people who need relief the speedy .i;r i , " : T icuci mcy nope tor. jl out in addition to ! this while the eastern banks control the volume of wui-jr vucy wouia tor some time control that which, under.the present monetary system, would flow that wa7 the payment of interest , on iviupM insurance; money, internal revenue taxes, pensions, freights, ; yu iiuuaus, ana tor various other things which constantly draw the-money of the South and West Ffee coinage would give ' some relief, but there can neTer be under the present monetary system an equable distri bution of money which would make the volume in the South and the West, in . proportion to population, anything to be compared with the volume in the other sections. The only effective remedy for this is in a system of State banks of issue, which would put . it in the power of the people of the South and. West to supply a currency of their own which would stay with them, or if it went away would come back to the bank of issue for redemption, the main objection to it being one of its best attributes. If the people had State banks of issue, which they would soon have if the ten per cent, tax was repealed,5 and the national bank law were so amended as to let the banks issue notes to the'f uli face value of the bonds deposited and to lend money on real estate security, the money question would soon set tle itself, and there would be little clamoring for the free coinage of silver. XIK0 MENTION. When Secretary Morton, of the Agricultural Department of Agricul ture, recommended that Congress re duce the appropriations, for the pur- let them henceforth be sent out di rectly by the Department instead ot by the. members of Congress he had very good reasons for advising f,s he did for he had discovered that the law under which Congressmen and Senators drew their annual allow ances was not only a failure in ac complishing the purpose for which it was intended but was very much abused and made a source of gam by many Congressmen who took ad vantage of it for their own profit and not to benefit their constituents. As a rule the Congressmen who did dis tribute the seeds to which they were enti: led instead of converting them into cash. showed more. favoritism and politics in the distribution than desire for the useful application of the seeds,." ind consequently it was ib&r constituent of presum abjepolitical influence who re ceived most of those evidences of thoughtful remembrance from his representative entirely regardless of the fact, whether the aforesaid con stituent had any use for the seeds sent or not, or could tell a gourd seed from a cocoanut. But in addi tion to this the Secretary has been making a note of how the seed quotas were disposed of, and has the names of nearly a hundred states men who have given orders for transfers of their quotas, presum ably, in some cases at least, for a cash consideration, and he has also the names of some who sold the seed outright to the Department for less than one-fourth of the cost, and got the cash. These seed purchases cost the Government somewhere between $150,000 and $200,000 a year, and it is doubtful if on the whole, dis tributed as they have been, they do $150 worth of good. . Sk The news we get from Cuba about the progress of the insurrection," is about as unreliable as thi e news we scu Hum iuc bccne ot nostuities in China, or from the South American "revolutions." The Spanish authori ties exercise a strict censorship over telegraphic reports sent out or pub lished in Cuba, so that very little of an unfavorable character to the Spaniards finds its way to the world. We can, therefore, form but a very vague estimate of the strength of the insurrectionary movement, or its ability to cope with the army sent to suppress it. That it is not an affair to be treated lightly is shown by the fact that Spain thinks it necessary to send eight thousand men into the field, which ought to be enough to over run the island in a short time and effectually suppress the insurrection unless it is very Wide-spread and deep-rooted. The probabilities are, however, that this uprising will ter minate as have the numerous others that have preceded,, it, in the sup f .1 r . pression ot tne movement, toe dis persing of the "'patriot" bands, and the capture and imprisonment or execution of the leaders who do not find safety in flight and escape from the island. Their only hope of suc cess is in their recognition as belliger ents by this or other Governments, espec'ally this Government, in which event they could command material aid that is not within their reach now. But Spam is not going to give this Government a reasonable excuse to do that. As a claimant there isno Govern ment on this earth which can hold a candle to Great Britain. After the Venezuelan and Nicaraguan affairs are disposed of, in-the event that the British; Government makes it neces sary for this Government to take an active part in the disposition of them, we may have to turn our atten tion to Alaska where Great Britain is putting in a claim of jurisdiction over some of the best seaports, the possession of which would baye verv much bearing upou the commerce of -that territory; ; The Legislature of "iw-v "asmugton .nas re cently entereda protest against some of these claims, and insists that this Government put its foot down firmly in resisting them. The. Washington Legislature didn't object to giving iiiaiu a mountain or two and some mining land which she claimed, but thinks the line ought to be drawn on the seaports when she claims the best of them, which we had supposed belonged to us. Eastward, doubtless The Grand Rapids, Michigan, doc tors are puzzled over , the case of a man who, contrary to precedent, per sists in living, although his head was crushed under a car' wheel and be lost over half his brains. This is a somewhat remarkable case, although there are men Who have gone through life with very few brains and never seemed to miss gwhat . they didn't have. - ' -" ' CURHf-NT CUMMENT. International bimetallism is the half-way station between sound currency and free sil vercoinage. By taking to international bimetallism" the Republican politicians expect to evade the honest money issue in the next Congress. But with the tariff also dropped out of their programme, upon what issue do they propose to go to the . country, in the next elec tion for President, now that the howls of calamity no longer frighten tne public? now would tne Vene zuelan boundary question or the Gothenburg liquor law do for a Presi dential issue in 1896? Philadelphia Record Dem. There are unmistakable signs of business improvment m the east and the south. The tendency toward better times is positive, but gradual. Many business men, however, still talk despondently because they ex pected that after the adjournment of congress there would be a business boom. They expected too much. It is true the export of gold has ceased, and congress with its financial var garies, is numbered with the things of the past, but because the way has been opened ; for better times it dosen't follow that better times will come at once. They will come slow ly and almost imperceptibly. Savan nah News, Dem. SPLITS T OKfENTINE. Raleigh News and Observepr Three illicit stills were rakea in at a single haul yesterday.

It is therefore refreshing to talk with the Shakers, for; their very simplicity commands confidence and respect, and we ; have the further satisfaction, of knowing that they have devoted them selves to the study ot disease and us cure for more than a hundred years. The venerable old matt whom the writer saw was only too glad to discuss his pet subject. ; He " said that strange as it -miant seem, very few doctors realized that three quarters of the most prevalent -diseases were atf attributable to faulty digestion. : ! He then went on to say that a child of average intelligence knows that putt id meat or decaying vegetables are tiotson- ous and must be aovided, and yet these same foods, even if taken into the stoma h in the freshest possible condi tion soon decompose unless digested and absoibed. In such cases the resulting poisons enter the s s em. when aches and pains, weakness and debility soon folio as a natural consequence. ; It was recognition of this that led the Shakers to devote their energies to the perfection of a product which would stimulate the digestive organs and assist them to perform their proper work. The first symptom of disordered diges tion. is loss of appetite, and the Shaker Digestive Cordial is wonderfully effxient in supplyingflny deficiency in this respect at the same time it relieves all distress after eating. Furthermore, as was care f u ly explained by our venerable friend, it is absolutely harmless. Better evidence of the Shakers' confi dence ia it could not be found, than in the fact that they have placed 10 cent sample bottles in the hands of all drug gists, asared that if once tried it will nroduce such immediate and marktd benefit that it will be continued. AN ITALIAN CHURCH.! HOUSE CHURCH OF WORSHIP CALLED OF THE RAGPICKERS." It Is the Queerest Flace of the Kind 1st New York and Probably In the Conn try There Sons and Daughters of Italy Combine Religion and Business. Not many New Yorkers have ever heard of tha "Church of the Ragpick-' ere." In the neighborhood of Roosevelt street, where it is located, this is the familiar name of the Roman Catholic church of St. Joachim, of which Father Vincini is the pastor. The members are Italians exclusively, inhabitants of the densely populated district roundabout, and as some of them are rairbickers and have rented the lower half of the church tor tne storage of their goods the nick name which designates the church as the peculiar place of worship of this class came into use. Years ago, when Roosevelt street was not so squalid and as overflowing with 'human beings as it is today, this church Deionged to a Methodist Episcopal con gregation. There were merchants, solid men of down town New York, living mere, ana tne neighborhood was emi nently respectable. Now the church etands with a cheap luugmg nouse on one side and a typical slum grocery store on the other. A nest of tough saloons are near by, up and down the street. Organized in 1888, the Italian population thereabouts grew bo rapidly within a radius of a mile that the church has now one of the-largest congregations in the city. The building is of. brick and is dingy and dirty. It is only by standing across the street that you can see a small cross on the roof, the only thmir about th .edifice that suggests its religious charac ter. Looking in on the first floor, you will witness a curious spectacle. The whole depth and breadth of the floor is filled with rags. Rags loose, rags in piles and rags in bales ready for shipping are all about. Big cranes and chains for hoist ing purposes run here and there. Hn.lf buried in these piles of rags are men, women and children the men and wom en busy assorting rags and the fat, brown youngsters tumbling about in play or sleeping, as the case may be. It is the biggest ragshop in this city. It is wholesale and retail in the sense that here the individual ragpickers! of the town dispose of their wares, which are assorted and baled and sold for man ufacturing purposes. The pastor of St. Joachim's rents this lower floor to the company that conducts this rag business at a good rental, and indeed were it not for that the mission would suffer. Italians are very practical about their religion, when they care for it at all, and they are very slow at contributing to the support of the church and expect a good deal of religion for a very little money. The church proper is on the floor over the ragshop, and this in itself gives an odd character to the services at times. On weekdays the men are at work in the basement when services are going on np stairs, and one can plainly hear them joining in the responses and chants dur ing the celebration of the mass. While a reporter was there the other day one of the ragpickers in the basement sang a uyuux io tne virgin while the services were going on, and his voice was of rare sweetness and purity. At certain hours of the day laborers will come in, set their picks and shovels in a corner, and then join in the devo tions. The peanut venders and fruit stand keepers in the neighborhood al ways attend the services for at least a few minutes each day. Bootblacks wan der in with boxes on their backs and say a few brief prayers, and the Italian pop ulation generally comes and goes. ,Six masses are said in St. Joachim's church every -Sunday, and from 1,300 to 1,500 persons attend every mass, so that some 9,000 or more people wor- i ship in the little church every week. ramer monui, who established this mission, and who conducted it for years, has been sent to New England to organize 'Italian churches there. His place has been taken by a younger priest, Father Vincini. The position of parish priest of St. Joachim's is that of a patriarch. Not only does he marry his parishioners, baptize their children and bury their dead, but is their constant adviser in other matters. He settles their disputes of all sorts, from business differences to lovers' quarrels. One trouble the priest has to contend with is the manner in which his charges get married. Coming from Italy, where civil marriages are the proper thing, the Italians believe that the same laws ob- tain here. As a result the Italian quar ter is filled with professional marriage brokers and matchmakers. They bring couples together for a fee, then steer them to the city hall, where two men have for years done a steady business securing aldermen to many couples, in getting certificates for them and arranging all the details of city hall weddings. Father Vincini tries to im press upon his people that he will marry them for nothing at all,, but they still flock to the city hall. Some of them buy pictures of the building and send them to Italy so that their friends may see the palace in which they were married. New York World. : She Had but Poor Bait.

AND DEADLY; AMERICA'S MOST DEADLY 8NAKE THE PICHU-CUATE. - IS It la Found In the Southwest Evert Snake Charmers Are Afraid of It A Tiny Thins;,' but It Kills Very Quietly A Writer Tells ot His" First Meeting; With One. - The southwest is more liberally bujh plied with venomous things than any other area in the Union. . In the burn ing deserts, in the inhabited bat arid expanses of New. Mexico and Arizona, ' the rattlesnake abounds, and in several varieties, inoluding the strange and deadly "sidewinder," Crotolus cerastes. The so called tarantula really only a gigantic bush spider, but none the less dangerous because of the misnomer is decidedly common. Scorpions are none too rare in the southern portions of the territories, and in all parts. centineda of 7 to 8 inches long are frequent and neighborly. But the chief distinction of the region in this respect is the pres ence of the pichu-cuate, the deadliest snake in North America. The pichu-cuate matches; the worst serpent of India. Not only the most highly venomous, but the tiniest and most treacherous, he would be also the most dangerous but, luckily, he is the rarest. He is the only true asp on this continent, and in the United States is never found outside of New Mexico and Arizona. That he was also known to the ancient Mexicans is apparent from his name pichn-coatL an Azteo word. which was brought up to our territory oy tne Spanish conquerors. My first meeting with one was in Valencia county, N, M., in June, 1890, on the sandy flanks of the Cerro del Aire. I was out hunting jack rabbits, in company with some Indian friends, and had dismounted to stalk, leadimr mv pet horse by the bridle. My eyes were on a small chapparo bush ahead, when suddenly Alazan snorted and reared backward so violently as almost to un hinge my arm. I looked about in sur prise, for Alazan was too good a horse to mind trifles. As there was nothing to be seen, I started to pull him forward. Again he protested and with evident terror, and chancing to look at my very feet I understood his fear and felt very grateful that his senses were better than mine, for in another step I should have walked upon my death. The only thing visible was a tiny ob ject, not nearly so large as a good stag beetle merely a head and perhaps an inch of neck. But it was the most frightful object in its kind that I had ever seen. The head, certainly neither so broad nor so long as my thumb nail, had a shape and an air of condensed malignity impossible to describe. It seemed the very essence of wickedness and hate, fairly bulginpr with deadly spite, and growing upon one until it looked several times its actual size. The ugly triangle (which ia the distin guishing mark of all venomous snakes. being formed by the poison gland back It 1 ..mm ! . oi eacn eyej torn me at once that Ala zan was keeping up his reputation never did he shy at a harmlesa snake and the tiny horns, which added a pe culiar and grotesque hideousness, left no doubt that this was a pichu-cuate. He had buried himself most to the head in the gray sand, against which his up per skin was barely distinguishable, and thus in ambush was waiting for some thing to turn up. Turning Alazan loose, I knelt at the safe distance of a yard to study the lit tle creature, which fairly swelled with murderous rage. It not only struck madly at the chapparo switch I thrust to it, but at last, evidently discerning that the blame lay back of the switch, actually folowed it up, and with such agility that I had to jump up and back without loss of time. The idea of re treat never seemed to enter that flat head. Sometimes he would lie and puff out with impotent rage, throwing his mouth so wide open that it seemed the venom must start, and sometimes he glided toward me, his head an inch above the ground, with an attitude which seemed to say, "Stand still there, and we'll see who laughs. " At last I killed him. He was neither larger round nor longer than an ordi nary lead pencil; a cold, leaden gray on the back, but underneath rosy as the mouth of .a conch shell The fangs were tiny, not much more than an eighth of an inch long, and as delicate as the tini est needle. A wondrous mechanism, this' mouth, with its two automatic needles, so infinitesimal, yet so perfectly compe tent. I opened the ugly little jaws wide, pressing upon the sides of the head, and when the recurving fangs had risen from their grooves in the roof of the mouth and stood tense a stream so in conceivably fine that the eye could bare ly note it spurted from each, and in the space of two or three inches melted into invisible spray. -Yet that jet, finer than a cobweb strand, was eaough to give swift death to the largest and strongest animal that walks. When the Bunt was over. I told mv Indian chums of the pichu-cuate and asked them many questions. Thev all knew of the snake, though several had never seen one, and all agreed that it is extremely rare. The crotalus ranks among the Pueblo divinities, and their charmers have no difficuty with that steady going and respectable reptile. But even among these people, with whom the cult of the rattlesnake has such astounding features and where un til recent years every Pueblo kept a sa cred rattlesnake in sacred room, with special priests to attend him, the vil lainous little sand viper is accursed. Even those who have "the power of the snake" can do nothing wi.th him. He scorns to be tamed even by the drop ping upon his head of the mystic pollen of the corn blossom. C. F.
