“Dr. Stephen A.' Emniens, the dis
tinguished metallurgist, declares that
he has realized the dream of the al
chemists, und has found the process
by which silver may be chemically
turned into gold, and so perfectly
that it could be proven to be gold
in a court of law, and by every assay
test of the govcTcment mints, and
also having every quality required by
the gold of commerce, having the
same color, weight and strength. He
says lie lias already made four ounces
of gold from six onnees of silver,and
that the loss from chemical change
of silver is not over 25 per cent. He
claims that even if silver should go
to $2 per ounce that it could be
transferred into gold at a profit of $3
per ounce.”

“It Bcems to mo,” said a passenger
on tho Tifton and Northeastern one
morning this week to a fellow-voy
ager, “that some of the republican
newspapers that are printing so many
extracts from Bryan’s speech and
tearing their hair over them, ought
to print a few extracts from tho free
silver speeches 3IcKinley was making
only a few moons ago.”
“I am a 3IcKinley man,” said tho

“Oil, that's all right. I am for

“Yes; I’m a gold standard dem
ocrat, and am going to vote for
AIcKinlc-y, but in stato politics I
think the populist platform is just
the thing, and am going to vote with
them,” and the young man straight
