Your paper also contained a letter from a subscriber who had recently returned d- from Japan, and during his brief so ,r journ in that empire had learned that st Count Matsukata, the father of the d! gold standard, was a very wise man t. and had made a most brilliant speech in the parliament in defense of gold money. m "Will ybu permit me to state that the ra almost universal feeling of the J3p anese, as expressed in the newspapers, is that the adoption of the gold stand to ard was a' great mistake.

The Republican machine and Repub WY lican press of Michigan bitterly hate the sturdy, free-silver, anti-plutocratic Gov. Pingree, but they realize that ,, they must renominate him or suffer, le- defeat. The Petoskey Recotd' says: "The party will not recover from its deadly dose of Pingreeism for years to come. Better to go deliberately to de feat this year with an honorable, true pry republican at the head of the ticket ty, and Pingree at the head of an opposi .r- tion ticket, than to betray principle, sacrifice loyalty and belie our manhood mn, by nominating Pingree." on "Inquiring Jones" of "Jingo HIol ur low" points in general terms to 'the a deadly parallel" between Presidebti ed Buchanan and McKinley. The foraes 0- was largely responsible for the civil at war because he so feared the politi. be clans and slave-holders of the south in that he dared not use the power of the ch nation to grish them like an egg un Id der a hammer, but permitted them to hatch. So McKinley, in his zeal fol he peace, in the interest of European and p- American bondholders, has done all he %a, could to bring the nation to the verge, d- of war with Spain when a mere dec. a- laration of the fict that Cuba and to Spain are at war would have bettled at things without the firing of a shot. If [n a Spanish officilal did blow up the id Maine, it was because he was embold to e ed, to do so by the policy of, the Cleveland and McKinley administra 1- tions. o.

Remarkable Investigation From Wilsc the Lovell Diamond Bicycle Catm Out Ahead of All Competitors.' Where there are so many makes, of bi-., cycles on the market, all of which at first sight seem to be on an equal footing to the, casual observer, and still the fact Ip well knownthat there is no article in common use where it is so easy for the manufactur er to cover up the imperfections as in the bicycle, both in material and workman. ship, and which cannot be detected until the machine has been given a test on the road, such an investigation as has just been completed by the best experts in this country, under the supervision of the Western Review of Commerce, is likely to be of great value to the riding public. The honor of producing the best wheel among the thirty-seven well-known makes that were tested fell to the old established house of John P. Lovell Arms Co., of Boston, Mait., manufacturers of the celebrated Lovei Diamond.
