There is shortly to be held in the city of Chicago a meeting the object of which is to give the people of this country to understand that those who participate in it believe in "sound" money, and are opposed " straight . out to. the demand for the coinage of silver on a 16 to-1 or any other ratio. We suppose that this movement is the outcome of the suggestion, or rather appeal ot the Chicago Herald, or Times Herald, as it is now called since the consolidation, in which it urged all friends of "sound" money to combine and make common cause against the advocates of silver coin age. One of the objects, we pre sume, in calling this meeting and starting this movement in Chicago is to influence public sentiment in the West, as Chicago is supposed to be a representative Western city, which is the intelligent New Englander's head only geographically true, for it is in is not as well balanced as it other respects much more of an might be when looking across sec Eastern than Western city, being run tional lines, and that he has allowed by Eastern money and controlled by the rot that has been published Eastern influences. The East holds about the South to take pretty deep a mortgage on nicago, ana aDso- lutely. owns it. Take the Eastern money which these mortgages repre- sent and the bottom would fall out of the town inside of a week. This meeting may gather, whereas and resolve, but it will not represent the West. If it was to be simply a "sound" money convention it would be all right, but in the interpretation ot those who were active in calling it and who will most actively partic ipate in it, ' sound" money means gold, or paper redeemable in gold, which is practically the same thing, so that it will be to all intents and purposes a meeting of gold mono- metallists, called to protest against and oppose any further coinage of suver unr.ii me commercial nations of the earth be gathered together in convention and agree on a sort of universal silver coin, an event which is about as likely to occur in the near future as the discovery of the North Pole. This is to be the first of a succes sion of meetings which are doubtless on the programme to be held in othe'r Western and perhaps Southern cities, where the silver sentiment has made the most pi ogress and has the greatest number ot followers. There will not be many, if any, held in the East, for that section is regarded as practically solid on the "sound" money question. In discussing this subject hereto fore, we have contended that this was speedily becoming a sectional question, and that the uncompromi sing gold advopates of the East were doing all they could, whether so in tended or not, to make it a sectional question, with the Northeast quarter of the Republic, bounded by the Po tomac on the South, and Mississippi on the West arrayed against the States South of the Potomac and West of the Mississippi. 1 ne representative men nhn enaalr I - ..v sfbon. for the money interests of the East recognize the fact that there is ade- mand in the South and in the West fora change in the monetary system ( which would gtve an increased volume of currency, and yet ' the East shows no disposition to listen to this demand or to give it respect- ful consideration. In the South and m the Wesitfeisdemand comes in the shape of a demandvcr the free coin. I T 1 age of silver, which woTrfd give an increased volume, the very thing the opponents of free coinage ' do not wish to see, nor intend to permit if they can 1 prevent it. ,X ; Recently Hon.; Chauncey M. De pew, of New. York, visited and spent some time in the South. In an in terview on - the political situation a fewday agot after his return to New York, he remarked that the silver question would not trouble the Re ;4oblican party as it will .the Demo cratic party, for he East was not giving any trouble on that question, while the South, was almost, unani mous for silver and the West was largely the same way, which gave the Republican party that much advan tage over the Democratic party, that it had not within its ranks such pow-; erful conflicting elements to recon cile, before it could present a solid front in the coming political battles. Assuming this to be the situation the query arises, if the South be about unanimous for silver, andithe West largely so ,are they not entitled to some consideration by the money powers of the East who control con ventions, parties, make platforms and elect representatives? Must the South and the West i e always dic tated to . by the' representatives of the ; money powers, and be content with the monetary sys tem they see fit to grant? Is it to be construed as a sign ot mental imbecility, or of moral : obli quity to insist tha: silver shall be restored to coinage, or that the Fed eral embargo, in the form of a pro hibitory tax, be taken off State banks, that they might again perform the service they performed for three quarters of a century in supplying the people with a local currency? The East has the advantage now be cause it has the greatest voting: strength in proportion to area, but it will not always be so, and the day will come when the South and the West will control public policies as the East now does because common interests will make them combine for the common good, and. when they do the East may have cause to regret forcing this sectional issue upon them. r " MINOE MENTION. The Massachusetts mill men who are now on a tour of inspection in the South are said to be very favor ably impressed with what they have seen, the reality exceeding their ex pectations. According to the Char lotte dispatch published yesterday they are "utterly astonished by the manifestations of good-will being made to them by the Southern peo ple." This is stuff. If we hadn't been informed further on in the dis patch that "they had not looked for any unfriendly disposition" we might have concluded that they thought they were venturing into an enemy's country, and were utterly astonished that they were not met with six- shooters and scalping-knives instead of friendly greetings. If there be anything in these demonstrations of civility to be a little much less ut terly astonished at it shows that even root in his brain. Six months after the war, before sectional feeling had begun to die out, there might have been some ground to doubt as to the cordiality of a reception, but thirty years after the war, with thousands of Northern people living in the South, niany of whom have raised families of Southern-born children, tnere is no excuse for this kind of nonsense, at least among people wno have sense enough to find their way home after leaving it. The Southern people have and always have had a cordial greeting for the man who came to identify himself with them, no matter from where he hailed. It is only the breeder of discord, and the stirrer up of deviltry who is not welcomed or whose ab- sence is considered presence. preferable to his The public had no reason to expect much of the Legislature which recent ly performed in Raleigh, for it was a conglomeration of unscrupulous po- j micai tricksters, ignorance and greed and showed its rhnt; wMWHVWVilILaV9 YY ibUlU twenty-four hours after it took pos- session of the legislative chambers But as there were some lawvers in that body and some m-n f nrrim, everyaay common sense, the pre- sumption naturally . would be that they could do something without ex posing stnpidity and not wind up by getting things into a mess that makes them absolutely ridiculous. The fact is that in their indecent effort to revolutionize the existine or der of things,to grab all the offices and to get a firm clutch on the State they didn't sufficiently examine the ground they were walking on, and tumbled into the ditch, so to speak. Without going - over the list the botches they made of the assignment law, the criminal circuits, the ap pointment of magistrates, the cttv r - hirtare U. . - ' ' - j vutwa, iut pcuuenuary occ, are illustrations of their bungling at- tempts to put up jobs on . the people in whose interests they were' osten- sibly legislating. . In the skty-three days they were planning and plotting for . power and loot they made a record which has brought odium on the combine. If they had sat for thirty days more we do not think there would be a grease spot of their nartv Ifr J Reports from - some counties in South Carolina say that many of the cotton planters have been influenced by the advance in the price of cot ton to abandon the resolution th had formed to reduce their acreage and plant the usual amount or more. If they do, with all due respect and deference, our opinion is that they will phiy the . blue-ribbon fool. One of the main reasons for the advance in cotton was the belief that the acreage would be materially reduced this year, and just as soon as that be lief is removed cotton will begin to go down, and continue to go down ' . . . until the buyers got ashamed to offer any less. If with the experience of the past and all that has heen said and written by cotton growers and others friendly to the planters, ' they persist in the stupidity and suicidal. course of planting as usual, and put ting their main reliance on cotton, saltpetre can't save them. But it they deliberately, in the face of facts and reason, invite disaster they ought to accept it with resignation when it comes and not lament their fate and hold somebody else responsible for it. CURRENT CUMMENT There is a strong feeting the middle and Eastern States in. of Southern industrial development. In the West, also, people are looking southward as the coming section for settlement. Augusta Chronicle, Fry, Chandler and their Ilk, are not sanguinary men in practice. and only with the greatest reluctance would they personally consent to whip all creation. But they judge that in a campaign sense it would be ever so much easier to terrorize the Powers of earth than to justify Mc Kinleyism or define the attitude of their party on the silver question; and they ought to know.

" "And you went and got the gown?" "Well, no. I had changed my mind about that piece of goods, it had such a cheap look, so I just went home to think it over. ' "But you never got that gown cheap?" "No, I didn't. The fact is, I found my pocketbook on the hall table where I had left it when I took out my car fare to put in my glove. I am so careful of money that I don't like to display much in the cars. " "And what did Albert say when he found it out?" "He would have said a great deal if he had found it out, but he never did. I knew he'd scold me for carelessness if I told him, so I just kept all the money and bought my gown. I'm so glad yon like it, dear!" Chicago Tribune.. Taariflr of Wives. In the earliest times of purchase a woman was bartered for useful goods or for services rendered to her father. In this latter way Jacob purchased Rachel and her sister Leah. This was a Beena marriage, where a man, as in Genesis, leaves his father and his mother and cleaves unto his wife, and they become one flesh or kin the woman's. The price of a' bride in British Columbia and Vancouver island varies from 20 to 40 worth of articles.' In Oregon an Indian gives for her horses, blankets or buffalo robes; in California, shell money or horses; in Africa, cattle. A poor Damara will sell a daughter for a cow. A richer Kaffir expects from three to 80. With the Banyai, if noth ing be given, her family claim her chil dren. In Uganda, where no marriage recently existed, she may be obtained for half a dozen needles, or a coat, or a pair of shoes. An ordinary price is a box of percussion caps. In other parts a goat or a couple of buckskins will buy a girL Passing to Asia, we find her price is sometimes 5 to 50 rubles, or at others a cartload of wood-or hay.. A princess may be purchased for 8,000 rubles. In Tartary a woman can be obtained for a few pounds of batter, or where a rich man gives 20 small oxen a poor man may succeed with a pig. In Fiji her equivalent is a whale's tooth or a musket. These and similar prices else where are eloquent testimony to the lit tle value a savage Bets on his wife. Her charms vanish with her girlhood. She is . usually married while a child, and through her cruel slavery and bitter life she often becomes old and repulsive at 25. Westminster Review. Sewage In Germany. The claim is made for Germany of having the most complete and success ful system of sewage disposal of any. country on tne continent of Enrone. In Berlin, where the features of this sys tem are so perfectly represented, the drains from the houses receive both the rainwater, the refuse water from the kitchen, eta, and the contents of the" vyater closets, conducting them to an arrangement of radial sewers, through which, by a natural fall, they pass to a aozen different pumping stations with in the area of the , town. From these the sewage, through the medium of combined force and suction pumps, pro ceeds through pipes of 3 feet or still greater diameter to the land which the corporation of Berlin possesses, the ma terial thence making its final exit through a. system of conduits so ar ranged that, before reaching them, it has parted with all its manorial power to the soil through which it is made to pass. The sewage water thus filtered reaches the river through the natural fall of the conduits in a comparatively purmeg state. new York Sun. With Your Cap of Coffee.

Sign which reads: "Novelties In Sign Painting. College Work a Specialty Not having in a four years course learn ed what need colleges have for anycon siderable supply ef Bigns, the writer en tered the ' shop to make inquiry. ,7 The proprietor was a small German, and he had two assistants. In reply to a few J questions he told the following facte: ' . 'I started in the business of sign painting about five years ago. Before I had been at it long I had numerous calls from college students, who wanted special sighs painted. They were in the habit of decorating their rooms with Buoh plunder as beer, signs, barbers' poles, advertising thermometers, - etc. , and some of them hit upon the idea of having special signs painted. Most of my business came from Columbia at first, but it soon spread to New Haven, Cambridge and Princeton, so that I now have two assistants. "Of course cardboard are the cheap est signs, and the more ordinary kinds are made with 'stencil, such as 'Meals At All Hours' and 'Payt the Desk. ' Board signs, as 'Keep Off the Grass,' 'To Let, ' are. also stenciled and are con sequently cheap. Hanging shop signs are dearer and have to be done by hand. I often have special orders, and some of the students have original ideas. For instance, there is a job for whioh I get 25. This is to be a 5 cent lunchroom ' sign which is supposed to have been broken off from the post on which it was fixed. It is to be supplied with legs and converted into a card table, and probably the owner will many times be obliged to recount the daring way in which he eluded the police with his plunder. There is a good demand for barber poles. Beer signs I buy to order and simply make my commission. "Another queer fad is that of express labels, so that I have a small job print ing establishment Many men, especial ly glee club members, like to have their ' dress suit cases plastered with labels, especially of western and southern roads, to create the impression that they have been great travelers. Ton can hardly see the leather on some of these cases. Of course this is all very foolish, but it is very profitable to me. A fool and his money are soon parted. " New York Tribnna AN ARTIST'S INSPIRATION. Unable to Draw m Picture Except In the Presence of a Certain Figure. Walter Burridge, the artist, tells a good story on himself and proves it by showing the blank space on the wall where the picture, one of the accesso ries of the tale, used to hang. He went one day to the Btudio of a friend and found there an anatomical figure, such as are to be seen in studios everywhere. It was a good one, and Burridge wanted it, for his own had been broken. He expressed a desire to have it, but the artist friend wouldn't give it up for any money. It was his inspiration, he said. He needed it even for the composition of a letter. And, as for drawing anything in the human fig ure without it, that was Simply hope less. He couldn't snare it. So Burridge went away. But another day, while in the same etudio and in the absence of the owner, a third artist who commonly shared the nlace and worked there, said Burridge could have the model if he wanted it. The owner had concluded to get along without it And about an hour after the owner came back. He sat down and tried to draw a wagon. But he couldn't He tried to write a letter that had long been overdue. But he could not get his thoughts together. Something is gone." said he. "I can't do anything. I have lost some thing.

And not only the bark of the pine is thus utilized for food. The dwellers in certain parts of Siberia cut off the young and Under shoots and grind them down to form their flour.

One of the -.Most -Btystifyins; Conjuring TrSclisi Neatly Explained. Speaking of the bullet catching trick in particular, Professor F. D. Hewes, who is also a dealer in the art mystic, said: "There are literally but few tricks in magic. The so called new ones present ed to the public -from time to time by our leading magicians, conjurers or whatever they call themselves, are sim ply the revival of some old experiments clothed in new form. The catching of bullets is not by any means a new trick, for it is almost as old as magic itself. I remember seeing the old 'Fakir of Ava' perform the same trick, only in a differ ent manner, when I was a small boy. The matching of the bullet is easily ex plained. In the first place, to accomplish it the conjurer must procure an old style. oapiocE, smoothbore musket some pow der,; caps and a leaden bullet All these must be perfectly free from any decep tion, mow we come to the ramrod. Therein lies the whole mystery of the tnoic it is constructed with a small meiamo iuu6 ciosea at one end and so arranged as to become detached from the end of the ramrod at will - "Having explained the construction of all the appliances, we will now pro ceed to do the trick. The gun, bullet, powder and caps are freely given for examination. The performer requests some one to put the charge of powder into the gun. Next he inserts a small piece of paper and rams it down, and by a twist of the ramrod to the left the small metal tube is dislodged from the point and remains within the gun bar- reL Wow the bullet is marked and placed in the gun by one of the audi ence; again the professor rams it down. flow, by a contrary twist the metal tube becomes fast to the ramrod so that in withdrawing it tho bullet is re moved. "The performer now palms the mark ed bullet and all that remains to do is to go through the motions of catching it when the gun is discharged, and the spectators are thoroughly mystified. You see, it is all very simple when yon snow now." Boston Post holesale Prices Current fcsr The foilowias: a notations renresent Wholesa Prices generally.
