“Is there a man named Bailey liv

man on horseback of a barefooted
urchin standing idly before a cabin 1
in the backwoods.
“I dunno,” was the reply. “I’ll :

Jim was an older boy, who was
playing with a lean yellow dog.
“I dunno,” said Jim. “Ask Liz.”
Liz was a tall, barefooted girl stand
ing in the cabin doorway.
“I dnnno if there is or if their
aint. I’ll ask ma. Ma ! There aint
no fam’ly named Bailey round hyar,

“Not as I know of. Ask pa.”
“Pa! Is there a family named
Bailey round hyar?”
“Never heerd of ’em. Ask yer
gran’ pap.”
“Gran’pap! Is there any Baileys
round hyar ?”
A grizzled old man came to the
door and peeped over the shoulder of
Liz.
“Hey?” he asked.
“Is there a man named Bailey
livin’ round hyar? This man on the
boss wants to know.”
“There used to be,” said gran’pap,
“but I dunno wbar he lives now.
I’ll ask gran’ma’am.”
And in a moment or two he came
back to the door and called out:
“Gran’ma’am says she thinks he’s
dead, but you ride on to the cabin at
the fork of the road, ’bout six mile
from hyar, an’ they kin tell you if

“He merely broke the news; no

“A broker, and a fine fellow.
Good day !” So much for the verb

More Mormon Missionaries.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 21.
Twenty-three Mormon missionaries
arrived here from Utah to-night. A
meeting will be held to-morrow, at
which they will be assigned to fields
of labor in the Southern States. It
is the avowed purpose of President
Kimball, of the Southern Mormon
propaganda, to station at least one
missionary in every county of every
Southern State, and two hundred
and thirty-five have been placed this
year. During the past two years
missionary work has prospered in the
South and renewed efforts will be
made to extend the peculiar faith
into every Southern State. Chatta
nooga is headquarters of Southern
propaganda and twenty-three mis
sionaries arrive here every month for
assignment in the Southern field.
They are uniformly young, hardy
men, inured to toil and hardships.
Leedy, Populist, governor of Kan
sas, thinks the State has much to be
thankful for in the fact that the tra
ducers of Kansas are less talkative
now than they have been for seven
years ; therefore he bases his Thanks
giving proclamation upon that point.
The fact that Populism is on the
wane in the Sunflower State has
caused fewer fool things to happen
there lately than heretofore, hence
less is said about it, suggests th*
Birmingham News.
A class of nine was confirmed
Monday night at the Episcopal
church by Bishop Nelson, and two
children baptised. After this was
done the bishop preached one of his
. characteristic sermons.
NUMBER 49.,
THE FUTURE OF SILVER.
It Has Outlived Its I'sefulness as Full
Money Metal.
It must be admitted on all hands that
the future of silver looks very dark.
The price is now so low that the metal
in a silver dollar is worth only 43 cents.
Yet the mines in this country and Mex
ico continue their activity. In most of
them the ore is galena silver, and the
recent rise in the price of lead compen
sates largely for the fall in the other
metal. Indeed there are many mines
where it pays to mine and smelit the
ore for the lead alone, so that whatever
is obtained for the silver is clear profit.
Thus there seems to be no probability
that there will be a rise in the price of
silver occasioned by a heavy falling off
in the total production.
In the meantime there appears to be
not the slightest probability of an in
crease in price growing out of a larger
use of silver as money. The states of the
Latin union are so gorged with 5 ifranc
pieces that good authorities sayiit is
impossible to force any more into circu
lation. In this country only about one
ninth of the silver dollars we have coin
ed can be kept afloat and in use as mon
ey. All the rest are stacked up in the
treasury and are, therefore, of no more
use or value than was the bullion: from
which they were stamped. Not a Single
nation that lias abandoned the free coin
age of silver shows the least disposition
to retrace its steps. ,
The general consensus of enlightened
opinion all over the world is that silver
has outlived its usefulness as a full
money metal and will in the future be
employed only as subsidiary coinage. It
is too bulky and cumbersome and of too
uncertain value to serve the larger needs
of the world’s commerce. Togo back to
silver coin for the settlement of trade
balances would be as stupid as to aban
don railroad transportation and return
to carts and wagons.
The silver men would be wise to lay
politics aside and face the facts of the
situation. If your bank pays your SIOO
check in silver, you cannot get the mon
ey to your store or office without hiring
a handcart. This kind of money is not
fit for the large and quick transactions
of modern business. It would be a hin
drance, not a help, to the making of ex
changes. The world has outgrown it
and got beyond it, and no clamor of the
politicians will avail to restore it to its
old place as “money of ultimate re

A Fresh Financial Idea.
Say, boys, s’posen you change the
deck. That free silver pack seems to be
about played out. Why not try a wheat
Issue? If we can raise the value of 16
| (Ounces of silver to that of about 40
i ounces of silver, without the aid or
1 consent of any other nation on earth,
why <can’t we raise the price of wheat
to $2 a bushel without the aid oh con
sent of any other nation on earth, with
out consulting the foreign market quo
tations and without bothering about sil
ver? And if we,can thus raise the price
of wheat why not of corn and potatoes
and eggs and everything else we; want
raised? All we have to do is to .set in
our stack and make the raise. “What
have we to do with abroad?”— Louis

Shattering Bryan’s Pet Theories.
The big wheat crop in Kansas and
Nebraska is ruining the hopes of the
Populists and silver cranks in those
states. Farmers are rolling in prosperity
.and are paying off their mortgages.
Bryan’s appreciation of gold theory is
at a discount now that wheat is bring
ing 20 cents a bushel more than it did
last year. According to Bryan the price
should be constantly falling and cannot
possibly go up until we have 16 to 1
free coinage of silver. Facts are playing
the mischief with Bryan’s pet theories.
Still Hacking Away.

Eight countries have adopted the gold
standard since the silverite began work
with his little hatchet. The tree is big
ger and stronger now than ever.
Too Big a Job.
“And still they tell us,” says the
Macon Telegraph, “that the test of a
Democrat is his ability to believe that
with silver at 40 cents in the dollar this
government can take all the silver of|
the world and hold it up to gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1. Such an insanity will
damn any party in the world if they
will stick to it long enough.”
