Cyrus B. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor. WHAT MB. BELMONT LEARNED. Mr. Perry Belmont, whose bank ing house in New York represents the Rothschilds in this country, has recently returned from Paris, and is now in Chicago helping Mr. Whit ney and his friends in "their efforts to get the Democratic party to turn down silver and commit itself to the gold standard. It seems that Mr. Belmont learned something while in Europe. We have npt seen his. "re port," but we can form a pretty cor rect opinion of its substance from the following editorial reference to it in the New York Times : The report wmcn Mr. rerry Belmont carries to Chicago cf bis observations in Earoae upon the Question of bimetallism wilhnot bs encouragingto silver .men- even to those who are looking forward to the riav rhn nli the oreat nriwera snail unite in making their dream a real ity. Mr. Bilmont bas discovered no sign of an importance or significance that international bimstallfsn is even re motel possible. He finds, however, that both the busi ness men ana me scienimc economists of Europe are thoroughly acquainted with the one weak spot in our system of finance. That is what Mr. Cleveland happily called "the endless chain." They sse plainly that there is plenty of gold to be had by the United States on rea sonable terms for any reasonable pur- pos. But they also see that no' amount of gold would be sufficient to meet the demand fnr the nernenml rertemntinn nf notes that can never be paid. Were our Government to require, to-morrow enough gold to pay off the entire $400,- 000.000 of demand notes that have been issued, and the notes, once paid, were to be destroyed, the gold could be bad without trouble. But no amount of gold will fill a bottomless bucket. It seems from this that he brings back no "encouragement" to the friends of bimetallism, but on the contrary discovered no sign that "In ternational bimetallism Is even re motely possible." A short while ago, r a. a t . m . a arrpr ivi r w nirn att a rr nnnn -h a tripto Europe, Jor which he had made I his arrangements and was about to embark, he published a let ter in which he expressed the strong est belief in the near approach of in ternational bimetallism, towards which the European nations, includ ing even England, were steadily and rapidly moving. This was one of reasons assigned why this country should not attempt independent coin age of silver, but should wait for the co-operation of other nations, which J was only a question of a little time. Loaded with this i idea Mr. Whitney went to Chi- 1 cago to try ' to persuade the silver men to make no forward movement tor the white metal, but to stick to the gold standard and wait patiently until European nations get sick enough of gold monometallism to .join them in-the remonetization of silver, Mr. Belmont went to Chicago to help Mr. Whitney, but how will Mr. Belmont's discovery, or rather failure to discover,- tally with what Mr. Whitney discovered in his loiterings abroad? How are the unsophisti cated silver brethren to know which to believe Mr. Whitney when he tells them that the prospects for In . ternational bimetallism are very en couraging, or Mr. Belmont, when he tells them that he could discover no sign that it is "even remotely pos siDier , as representatives ot the gold idea, both working tor a com mon purpose, it seems to us that these two distinguished apostles of "sound money" should have got to- getner and harmonized in their efforts to get a tighter grip on gold. jsut ! Mr. Belmont has an idea and be assures us that if we will just de clare for the permanent retiring of iUt vwu ui government credit notes, we would hav , MM UJ trouble in borrowing all the gold we might need for that purpose. This would be right into Mr. Belmont's nana, ana into tne nand of the Rothschilds whom he represents, for they would thus find profitable in- vestment for that much of their sur plus money, wipe the demand notes . " A. - out, contract the currency to .. mhm, extent, and take another twist In the rope and bind us that much the tighter to the gold standard... .", If the "endless chain" be a cause of so much embarrassment to the Government, and is one of the mys teries which Mr. Belmont's European friends cannot understand, and Mr. Belmont be really sincere in his de sire to get rid of it, there is a very simple and effective way by which it can be done, namely, to declare for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, redeem the greenbacks in sil ver, and in proportion as the volume of the currency is increased by the coinage of silver, retire the green backs and let their place be taken by silver. That plan would work like a (inarm and solve the "endless chain" problem speedily and effectively. But if Mr. Belmont, who does not seem to be taking any stock in sil ver or in bimetallism, even in the re mote future, waits until a Demo cratic convention declares for the gold standard and for redeeming the greenbacks in gold and then destroy ing themK without silver dollars to put in" their place, he will be s6 old that he will have lost all interest in mundane affairs and wilL, not 'care a continental whether school keeps or not. If he wants to get tne green backs out of the way let him take a level headed business view of it and help to get silver in the way., With plenty of silver the greenback might be dispensed with, without It the greenback is here to stay. MIHOB. HEBTIOJT. The platform of the Chicago Con vention makes the issue clear-cut be tween gold monometallism and bi metallism. There is no word of doubtful meaning in the bimetallic plank and not a sentence that is sus ceptible of more than one construc tion. Every voter inows exactly what he is asked to vote for and what he does vote for when he de posits his ballot for the candidates nominated on that platform, and it is affirmed by such a majority that there is no longer any reason to doubt as to where the Democratic party stands on the single as against the double standard. There are no "'its nor "anas, no iuture contingencies no references to pos sible conditions or combinations on which the full recognition of silver might depend, but a straight-out, bold, manly, unconditional demand for the money of the Constitution, regardless of the action of other na tions or of what they may say or think. The men" . who made this declaration spoke not only like Democrats, but like Americans, and they thereby announced to the world that this country is big enough and independent enough to shape its own financial policies without seeking the co-operation or asking the advice or consent of other and rival nations, No true friend of bimetallism, whether he call himself a Democrat or not, can consistently refuse to vote for the candidates who stand on that platform. Mr. Hanna is making a desperate effort to keep the tariff at the front, but he might as well try to ride bicycle on the back of a rainbow, for the people as a mass are not tak ing any more interest in the tariff question now than they are in last year's birds' nests. The people know and the politicians who are trying to play the tariff ought to know, that even it McKinley be: elected It will be utterly impossible' to carry out their tariff programme, with, the Senate against them, as it will un doubtedly be for the next three years, and for I this reason they will be" compelled , to practically abandon the tariff and make the fight on the money ques tion, which is now really the ques tion to be decided. The fact that the Democratic part stands unequiv ocally for the free coinage of silver will force them to take position on their platform behind the gold standard-and fight on that. This is the issue that the country has been waiting for, and the contest will be between the masses and the corpor ate powers which are interested in maintaining the ruinous gold stand ard, which has made this country a mere dependency of the money pow ers of this country and of Europe. The speech of Senator Daniel on taking his place as temporary chair man of the convention at Chicago, and the speech of Senator White on taking his place as permanent chair man, were both in good taste, con servative and patriotic. While both were spoken by candid and sincere men, uncompromisingly devoted to the cause thev - renresent. there was no gall nor acid nor dynamite In them. All men are not of the same temperament, all men are not equally endowed with brains, and all men have not the same lofty appreciation of the responsibilities devolving on nigh representative positions. Some are too prone to seek brief noto riety by doing foolish things, and it would, perhaps, be too much to ex pect that there would not he this kind in such a large assemblage 1 as this convention. But lt isn't a good place for pitchfork performers, i or acid throwers, nor for sca'p dancers, neither of which will do the party nor the cause any good. Disease attacks the weaK and dehili tated.

John Bull has discovered a way to escape the homely but far- reaching old maxim that those who dance must pay the piper. India will pay the piper for his Abyssinian dance. Lord George Hamilton s mo tion in Parliament that the Indian Exchequer should pay for the sup- dort of the Indian troops sent to the Soudan was carried, after a long de bate, by the decisive vote of 252 to 106. This kind of treatment may do for India, but it would be a bold Ministry that would make a similar proposition with regard to Canadian or Australian troops. Philadelphia Ledger, Ind, TWINKLINGS.

Tho opinion is expressed by Dr." Bach- tuan, an accepted authority in Bncn in vestigations, that the long current be lief that the source of malaria is in tho air is erroneous. The germ, he says, 'which is cf soil origin, is strictly a protozoa, reaching its highest develop Bient in low, moist 'ground.vith a fa vorable temperature. Surrounded by the propey soil conditions, this protozoa passes from one stage of life into anoth er with considerable rapidity, so that iu tho present state of experimental knowledge it is impossible to identify it Further, this protozoa passes through eo many forms or stages of - life that in some of these stages it is light enough to llcat and1o transported by the moist air cf 'low grounds, (but in this state is comparatively harmless except under extraordinary conditions. Not until the surface water is used does any real mis chief begin, when by reason of "higher development it has jbecome much more virulent than that floating in the air. and a very short period cf incubation is sufficient to develop a severe case of malarial fever, in the newcomer who uses tho surface water. From personal observation, . Dr. Bachman declares that the exclusive uso of pure, deep seated immunity against of country where water affords entire malaria in sections no white man would dare to live using the surface water. JSew York Tribune, Evolution cf the Microscope. The microscope has been' very slowly evolved and is the creation of no one man. In its present form it is, like a living species according to Darwin, the outcome of the survival of the fittest of innumerable variations, the majority of which have been discarded. Indeed to one interested in microscopes and famil iar with tho present model nothing can seem quainter than the old forms which prevailed during the jearlief half of this century and have . since become extinct In the evolution of the microscope two factors have been dominant, the demand for optical improvement and the de mand for mechanical convenience. Both of these demands have been well met, so that there appears little left for the fu ture to achieve until an entirely new direction is opened for further evolution. It need hardly be premised that the optical part is the essential part of microscope. The optical performance of the best microscopes is today perfect, having become so very slowly by nn merous small improvements. Although magnifying glasses were invented, it is said, in the twelfth century, compound microscopes with achromatic lenses have been in use .barely three-quarters of century, while the introduction of ho mogeneous immersion lenses dates from 1878, and of the perfected apochromatio lenses from 1886.

' In the summer of the year of grace 1770, when the American army was stationed in New York, the commander In chief, Gen eral Washington, was Indulging In a brief resting spell after dinner when be was ap proached by an orderly, who announced, Mistress Betsy Ann Blessing. She was a girl so young she appeared Ilka a child and .indeed acted like one, for no sooner dUf she stand in the presence q( the great man than she seized his hand that -hand of stalwart proportions and dropping on her knees kissed it with the ardor of a devotee. Meanwhile the tears streamed down her face in piteous torrents, and her form shook with suppressed emo tion. -;:-'!.; :'-:k.: ; Washington had a tender heart, and he was greatly distressed by this unusual scene. ' - ''You have something to say 7" he asked gently. ': "Speak on, but, I beg, ray child," that yon oeaso weeping." "Oh, ytour excellency, you are too kind," said the girl, and rising to her feet she un covered a beautiful downcast faoe which glowed pink and dewy through her tears like a rain washed, sun kissed rose.; "Now, Mistress Blessing," said Wash ington in his kindest manner, "tell me what brings yon hither and what your er rand may be." "I came hither to save your excellency's life," was the startling response. Instead of laughing at the apparent pre sumption of the weeping girl he bade her tell him everything, promising her im munity from punishment in case her news was not as weighty as she anticipated. Thus enoouraged, she began her story. "On the morrow your excellency is to dine with several officers of your command under guard.' "How know you that, girl?" asked Washington, muoh surprised. ''Your excellency will lay certain plans against the enemy before the company." "Proceed," commandod Washington sternly. "Amons the dishes set before vour exool- lenoy will be a new vegetable of which you are very fond." "Ah," laughed the general, "yon have lost or forgotten an order from the kitchon Here Is indeed a new version of the mocn tain and the mouse.". "I know not, gracious sir, what mean ing that hath of the mountain and the mouse," orled Betsy, "but if a mess of green peas be served at table on the mor row I beg and beseech you, sir, not to taste of thorn." "Wherefore, Mistress Blessing?" asked Washington in his sternest manner. "The peas will be poisoned." ' "How know you this?" demanded the general in a tone which made his soldiers quail when they heard it. "Speak and see that you trine not with me. Nay, child, do not fear. If what you say be true, not you, but tho traitor who planned the das tardly deod, shall suffer." j "No, no!" retorted the trembling girl. "No one must suffer. Is it not enough that I have darod to come into a lion's jaws to tell of the doed, to insure safety for the designer theroof? Now that I have warned your excellency permit me to re tire from your distinguished presence." General Washington gave a signal, and instantly an armed guard of soldiers re sponded. - "Arrest this girl," he said sternly, "and keep her under guard until such time as she send for mo to confess her fault. " "That will I nevor, though I die in prison," was the defiant reply ns tho girl, who had entered bowed and weeping, rais ed her hoad proudly and walked out with the soldiers like a young queen. All was tumult in the kitchens at Rich mond hill, and cooks we're running about getting into one another's way when a fair haired youth in the garb of a serving man loitered in and made his way unobserved to tho great fireplace, where he uncovered tho skillets In which the vegetables wero simmering on the hearth. When he came to that one containing the peas, he drop ped in a handf ul of some condiment and instantly took his departure. His next appearance was under the win dow, of that room in which Mistres&Bless Jng was incarcerated. "H-i-s-t, sweet heart! The dostf Is ready. Keep :hoart until the morrow, when I will mysolf re lease thee to ride pickaback on my roan horse. It is told in tho town that Betsy Ann Blessing is arrested for a spy. Keep up your courage, sweetheart. 'If you would befriend mo, betake your self to some safer place," whispered Bet sy's voice through the barred window high above him. J'A halter will bo roady for your nock if you are seen or suspected. And liston if your doso takes effect, you are no longer a lover of miuq." The youth went nway grumbling about all being fair in lovo and war. . If Washington was different from his usual self at that historic dinner, tho fact has not been recorded. There was much secret discussion of weighty affairs with his guests, but ho gave close-attention to the viands set before him. It was . not, however, until the vegetables wero sorvod that he made any allusion to the food. When his favorite vegetable, a dish of green peas, was uncovered, ho demanded attention, and when all were silent re marked in a loud voice: ' "There is death in tho pot. " A great excitement ensued. The guests. who. were in full uniform, drow their 6 words, and murmurs of '"Death to the traitor!" were hoard on every side. Then Washington sent for Mistress Blessing, who came with a defiant light in her eye and was given the seat of honor at her host's right hand. She took it with a dignity that called forth approving and admiring comments Soldiers nre prover bially gallant, and those of 1770 were no exception to tho rulol A servant was next sent out by the com monder in chief on a peculiar errand. ' He returnea, Dringing witn mm a live ana particularly active chicken, which partook eagerly of the dish of peas. And in five minutes by the watch It lay dead in their midst. Betsy Ann Blessing married her lover after turning him into a patriot, and Washington himself gave away tho bride. How much lio know remained his own se cret, but green peas nevor afterward graced his table or wore alluded to in his con ver sation Detroit Free Press. Perfumes For Horses.
