SOUTHJSBJN MJ5BCUBY.
The democratic candidate for governor
of Ohio indorses the populist contention
on the money question.—West Texas
Sentinel
Are you sure, Bro. Bradley? In the
same speech from which you make your
quotation, we find this:
"We believe in bimetallism in the
sense that silver shall be more than cred-
it money. It must be also made a
money of ultimate redemption and as
such take its place alongside of gold."
Would any sensible populist endorse
such a principle? Populists do not be-
lieve in redemption money. Mr. Chap-
man, the gold bug candidate of the Ohio
democracy, is attempting to play the
same game our young christian governor
in Texas played on the democrats four
years ago.
The insurance agents, the patent right
bunco steerers, and the agents for eastern
goods of all kinds, are pulling the earn-
ings out of Texas producers that is so
much of their earnings as the corpora-
tions and too highly paid official class
leave them. Look how they dress ánd
splurge on what you make. The school
house clubs have got to teach the people
to give them the cold shoulder and make
their living more at home and buy Texas
made goods, where you don't produce
them yourselves. You have got to be
able to pile up your cotton for better
prices, and to do this you must be out of
debt Think for yourself.
The low price of cotton and the good
prices for hogs and grain has made the
farmers of Texas wake up to the necessi-
ty of changing their industrial pursuits.
If they will keep some kind of green
stuff growing all the time for hogs, Texas
can raise them as cheap as any state.
But hog raising requires steady attention;
they will not raise themselves. Texas
has some as fine bred hogs as there is in
the United States, and no doubt there
will be fine exhibits at the state fair this
month. The farmer should raise his
own meat and market the rest.
The ordinary temperature of an adult
when a thermometer is placed in the
armpit is 98.4 degrees, in the mouth
99.5 degrees. The blood is about 100
degrees. Blood heat is marked on the
thermometer at 99 degrees F. In fevers
this is much exceeded, and the heat of
the patient may go to 105 degrees or 106
degrees. A higher temterature than this
will generally prove fatal unless it de-
scends very quickly. The highest tem-
peratures recorded have been in some
cases of rheumatic fever, when that of
the body rose to 109 degrees and even to
in degrees.
Get some of your honest democratic
neighbors to ask the comptroller, the
state treasurer and the governor, to furn-
ish a list bv serial numbers and by
counties of those illegal bonds stuck in
to take out over one million dollars of
the children's school money. Demand
the name of the officers who certified each
bogus bond into the school fund.
Every dtiien is entitled to this knowl-
edge. The governor admitted that there
was over a million bugs under this
chip.
Tears and years ago, when the Presa
club, oí more or leas blessed memory,
was in existence, a British newspaper
man—-only tbey call it a journalist on
the other side—was at the olub one
evening. He bad been iu Washington
for some time and was leaving next
day. Mr. Karl Decker made a speech to
him.
"Mr. Soandso," he said, "you have
spent some time with us, and you have
made many friends. We have become
attached to you. You are going away
tomorrow and we may never see you
again, but in order that you may al-
ways have something by which to re-,
member us, on behalf of the Presn club
I present you this ring."
And then he struck the call bell on
the loading table near him. The Eng-
lishman looked just a trifle bewildered
for a bit, then he reached out his hand,
thanked tbo club and pocketed the bell.
And—bless his simple English heart-
next morning he told another newspaper
man how kind the Press club had been
to him and what a lovely presentation
speech Mr. Decker had made.
"Mr. Decker must have been awfully
nervous, you know," he said, "though
he didn't show it, for he said, 'I present
you this ring,' and, don't ye know, it
Wasu't a ring at all; it was a bell."—
Washington Post.
Few persons atop to think of the
great differenoe between indoor and
outdoor air. In every dwelling a por-
tion of the air has already entered the
lnngs and is in the nature of excrement
The outdoor air alone is tolerably pure,
but perfectly so only at high altitudes
and away from cities.
We talk about climate cure, about go-
ing to Florida or Nice for health, but
we ventnre to assert that any invalid
may secure a greater improvement with
regard to the air he breathes by proper
ventilation of his dwelling room and
by living out of doors most of the time
than he can by going to any new cli-
mate and neglecting these conditions.
Many a poor invalid's salvation might
be found in his own garden, while he
may go to the ends of the earth in
search of health and die in the closed
room to which he has retreated in the
fear of outdoor air.—Philadelphia Led-
ger.
"I wish one word from me would
strike that man blind and deaf and
dumb for the rest of his life."
"What crime has he committed?"
"None that I know of."
44What has he ever done to you?"
"Nothing."
"Then why do you wish you liad the
power to injure him so horribly?"
•tío I could generously refrain from
exercising it. This would give me a
claim on his gratitude and 1 could strike
him for u loan. Isn't it a beastly shame
that a man who can originate a scheme
like that should be suffering at this
moment for lack of a paltry, miserable,
dad-dinged quarter of a dollar?"—(Jhi-
oago Tribune.
Oaller (on crutches and with a band-
age over one eye)—1 have come, sir, to
make application for the amount due
me on my accident insurance policy. 1
fell down a long flight of steps the other
evening and sustained damages that
will disable me for a mouth to come.
President of the Compuny—Young
man, I have taken the trouble to in-
vestigate your case, and I find you are
not entitled to anything. It could not
be oalled an accident You knew the
