GENERAL WARNER'S ADDRESS
At The Columbus Convention.
Gentlemen of the Convention: 1
assure you that the announcement
that I had been selocted to preside
over the deliberations of this conven
tion, as your permanent chairman,
was to me a complete surprise. But
the interest which I feel in the great
cause, that is now uppermost in the
minds of the people, will not perra t
me to decline the service asked of m-,
and I return to the convention my
sincere thanks for the distinguished
honor it has conferred upon me.
The issue upon which the two great
parties will go before the people in the
approaching election has already been
iuade up. The Republican conven
tion, held at St, Louis, has made its
declarations and selected as its candi
date for president a distinguished cit
izen of Ohio. The issue, as made up.
is between the gold standard, sup
ported of necessity by gold bonds, on
the one side( and a return to the con
stitutional standard of gold and sil
ver, without bonds, on the other side.
-(Great applause.) On that issue the
republican party has taken its stand
for gold. On that issue the Demo
cratic party will a? certainly and. ,?
clearly take its stand for uoth gold
&nd silver when it meets in Chicg ) '
on the 7th of July, (great applauee);
and as there is room for but one ticket
on the gold platform, so thero will be
room for but one ticket upon the'
platform of free silver. (Applaue.)
There must be not ivision of the sil
ver forces on the eve of such a contest
AS we are now entering upon, and
there will be none. (Applause.)
Ai there is no room for two tickets
- on either of these platforms, so there
is no middle ground which can be con.
sistently taken. All must beeiihar for
or againBt the gold standard ; for or
against the return to the bimetallic
standard of our fathers. Bimetallism
means a return to the conditions that
had existed for ages down to 1873. j
Prior to that date gold and silver con
jointly had constituted the
standard of value for the world, and
in the formation of our government
it was made the constitutional stand
ard of United States. (Great ap
plause.) The overthrow of that
standard by the act of 1873 was the
inauguration of a monetary revolution
that has already brought upon the peo
ple of this country and upon the world,
more distress than any other Bingle
act in the legislation of any nation of
the world. (Applauso.) That act
was devised convertly in the interest
of a moneyed combination, domestic
and foreign, and imposed upon lie
people of our country without their
knowledge or consent. (Applause.)
It has resulted in doubling thepurchas
ing power of gold and reducing by
onehalf the prices of the products of
industry and of property generally
It has at once increased the weight
f debt, and dimlnishea the powix
01 the debtor to pay. it has robbed
industry of its profits and enriched
the nonproducer at the expense of the
producer. (Applause.) It has par
alyzed the productive energies of the
American people, reducing to want
and relegating to idleness vast num
bers of willing workers, and produc
ing failures and bankruptcies with
., out end. It is fast changing the con
. dition of the great agricultural class
in this country from that of the in
dependent ownership of land to that
of homeless tenantry, while at the
same time building up colossal for'
tunes in our money centers, thus un-
dermining the very foundation of
free institutions in this country.
(Great and prolonged applause.)
Nor, my fellow-citizens, is there
any hope of a return of a return of
prosperity while - these conditions
continue and . gold continues
to increase in value and prices to fall,
as they must as long as this policy is
continued 7 (Applause.) xnere may
be those, and there doubtless are, who
honestly believe that we can, by tarifi
incrglery or some otner device, main
tain in this country a level of prices
1 , Vbrfjt l 1
m
on a gold standard above the level of
cricet of other countries, out mat
cannot be done. High prices and
a gold standard do not go together.
Toe Winchester bushel holds just as
much on this side of the Atlantic
ocean as it does on the other side, and
if we adopt the British standard of
value, there is nothing left for ns but
to accept the British level of prices
and the British system of wages. (Ap
plause.) 'We are now vainly attempt
ing to maintain the gold standard by
borrowing the gold. Borrowed gold
never stays id the country that bor
tows it. Conditions that make it
necessary to borrow gold, send it out
as last as imported. Gold will stay
in thi United States only when it
comes here in the course of trade.and
it will come here in that way only
when prices are sufficiently reduced in
this country to make it profitable to
invest gold here. In other words, it
will come here when we are prepared
to buy it with products offered as low
as any other nation in the world will
offer them.
On this great issue we are right
(applause), and upon it we are going
to win. There are many who would
like to see the bi-metalllc standard
restored in this country, provided we
can first obtain the consent of Great
Britain (great laughter and applause),
but without that they are opposed to
it. (Applause.)
SOUS GOOD BITS.
One hundred and four years ago,
when our financial system was estab
lished, when Washington was Presi
dent, Hamlton Secretary of the Treas
ury and Jefferson Secretary of S'.ate,
4,000,000 of people against 32,000,
000 they did not ask Great Britain
what our financial system should be,
but now we are 70,000,000 against
42,000,000, and they think we must
consult them.
Gentlemen, I believe in the Monroe
doctrine. (Applause). 1 am opposed
to the extension of foreign influence
over this continent, either directly by
the aquisition of territory or indirect
ly by controlling oar money system
and I hope this convention will make
a declaiation in favor of a policy dis
tinctively American for Americans.
(Applause.) I trust it will declare for
revenue sufficient to meet the ordi
nary expenditures of the Government
in time of peace, without borrowing
(Applause.)
The chief source oi revenue in mis
country has been, and must continue
to be, from customs duties. And
such advantage as is thereby given
the American producers must be made
to extend to all industries aliKe, ana
not to a few only (applause), and
should be made to benefit labor and
not to build up trusts and monopolies.
(Applause.)
tientlemen ot tne convention, x
have faith in the people. I have faith
in the Democratic principles as pro
mulgated by Jefferson and as advo
cated and maintained by a long line
of statesmen from that day to this
My faith in the triumph of the great
cause now before the people has
leen greatly strengthened by this
convtntion. The question before us
is one, Rot of candidates, but of prin
ciple. Finally, 1 believe tnat we are in
truth entering the dawn of better
Jays, and that when the doora are
opened again to money supply ade
quate to maintin the stability of
prices and develop the vast resources
of this country, that a wave of pros
perity will sweep over this land such
as the world has never Been. (Long
continued applause.)
When the applause wbicn louoweo
General Warner's speech had died
away the business under the rules
adopted was taken up, but not until
after the suggestion of Judge Pat
rick three hearty cheers were given.
DId? down to the cause of yonr sick
ness, if you want to get well and stay
well. Most likely it's indigestion.
The irritating poisons of fermenting,
putrid food, left in the stoinaon by
ndltrestion, cause neauacne, neurai
gia, nervousness, dizziness, stomach
ache, nausea, irritability, and all the
other well-known symptoms of Indi
gestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to
other causes and hence are not easily
oured. But as soon as tne poisons
are removed, all these symptoms and
disorders disappear, because there Is
nothing left to cause tnein. nom

the undigested food from ferment
ing in the stomach and helps the
stomach to digest its food.

Preterm For African Elephants,
Prom the commercial standpoint, even
more than from the sentiment, the scheme
initiated by Mr. E. N. Buxton and warm
ly supported by Sir Wllllnm Fowler for
preserving the African elephant from ex
termination deserves sympathetic consid
eration. It proposes to establish in the
SomaUland protectorate an extensive pre
serve where this valuable animal would
be safeguarded from ambitious sportsmen.
There is no question that this is perfectly
feasible. A preserve on kindred lines, but
on a very small scale, already exists in
Cave Colony, while iu India, Ceylon and
even 61am state protection Is afforded to
the Asiatlo elephant. Formerly there was
no Droteotlon whatever In these countries,
with the result that a most valuable means
of transport oame within measurable dis
tance of extinction.
That the African elephant can be easily
domesticated and trained as a beast of
burden is no longer open to controversy.

OBLIGING COLONEL WHITE.
All He Wanted Was a Hanging, and He
Got the Wrong One,
There wasn't any particular excitement
over the hanging of the man pointed but
anil arrested at Big Bond as the i&np who
stole a pack mule from Colonel White's
camp over on Fish river. One of White's
men, who was over after bacon, happened
to meet the stranger, and be went to Jim
Bed torn, president ot the vigilance com
mittee, and said:
'Jim, is it a good day fnr a hanglnr"
'Waal, tolerably fa'r," replied Jim.
'Thekusswho stole our pack mewl is
down in the tin front saloon."
"I see. And you want him hungP"
"I don't beer no great about It myself,

I'm wlllln to oblige Kurnel White, as
he's a good friend of mine, but do you

"He don't look like a man who'd kick

be glad to be off the alrth."
''Waal, we'll take chances on him," said
Jim, and he went to his chanty and got a
rope and asked 8 or 10 of the Doys to go
along, when the crowd readied the tin
front saloon, the stranger was Just oomlng
out.
"Say, we want you," remarked Redfern.
"What fur?"
"Goin to hang you."
"Cause why?"
"Fur stealin Kurnel White's pack

MAKING FO THE HYDRANT.
(he Simple Hethsd by Whleh the Engine
Always Gets to the Right One.
To the bystander who see a fire engine
ome dashing up to a hydrant It might
slly teem, from his confident manner of
kpproocb, as though the driver had known
Irom the start just what hydrant he was to
ke and had been all the time making for
.hat particular one. As a matter of fact,
Jie driver starts out of the engine bouse
Tlthout knowing what hydrant he is to
lake, and he may net know until he is
rithin a few seconds' drive of it. Still
Jiere is never moment's uncertainty
.bout the engine's movements, and it
never slows down. It goes straight for
the hydrant without the slightest delay.
In answering ten calls from the same sta
tion an engine may ruako as many different
hydrants, but it goes to the right hydrant
avery time, and the manner of determining
what hydrant it shall take is extremely
simple.
Every engine books up at every alarm.
On first alarms it goes out only to fires
within its own district. When an alarm
is sounded, the horses rnsh to the engine,
a catch or two are snapped, and the team
stands hooked up ready to stark It Is all
the work of a very few seconds. Bnt the
harness Is still held by the hanger from
which it is suspended, not to bo lot go un
less the call is one which the engine an
swers. The driver Is up. With the lost
stroke, If It calls the engine, the captain
says, "Gol" Just a slight twitch ot the
reins frees the harness from the hangor,
and it drops into place on the horses'
backs. If it is in winter, the door Is
thrown open; If in summer, the chain is
dropped, and away goes the engine, with
the horses on the gallop, in the direction
of the station whence the alarm has come,
but without anybody knowing what hy
drant it is to take.
The only man besides the driver who
rides on the engine is the captain of the
company or the officer In charge; he rides
standing on the rear of the engine. All the
rest of the company ride on the tender. Two
blocks away from the signal box the cap
tain Jumps to the ground and runs ahead
of the engine to locate the fire. He may
find it before he oomes to the box, or it
may be beyond it. The location of the fire
may be revealed by flames or smoke, or,
perhaps, by the presence of people standing
In front of the building la which the fire
Is, or by persons in the building Itself. It
may be that there are no such Indications;
that there are no visible indications what
ever. But almost invariably the policeman
or whoever gave the alarm remains stand
ing by the box until the first engine conies
up. He knows Just where the fire is, and
from him, in case he has not discovered
it himself, the captain learns its location
In an exceedingly brief space of time.
It may be around the corner. A wave of
the captain's band as he starts on again is
enough for ttje driver, who bos all the
time Kept oomlng. Then is the tlmoAVhen
the bystanders in the side street might
easily imagine that the driver had known
from the start Just what hydrant be was
to take, for he sees the engine come tear
ing around the corner, the driver calculat
ing the turn with the greatest nicety and
straightening up and coming down the
street booming, making for that hydrant
as though be bod never dreamed of taking
any other.
The simple fact is that the fire, having
been located, he Is taking the hydrant
nearest to it. It is always sought to take
the hydrant nearest the fire. He comes up
with a rush, firemen yank off a suction
pipe and connect the engine with the hy
drant and tbe engine Is ready for business.
The captain is in the building. He sees at
a glanoe whether water is needed. If it is,
)e orders a line of bose stretched and then
begins the work of puttlpg out tbe fire.

Have Insects a Language?
Because we cannot understand or bear
it there is no reason to suppose that insects
or animals have no language in wblob tc
oommunlcate their ideas to each other. It
has been demonstrated past question that
the world Is as full of sounds that we can
not bear as of sights that we cannot see.
That we will some day have what we
might, for lack of a better term, call a
microscope for the ear is as certain as that
we now have one for the eye, and we will
yet be able to distinguish sounds that are
now as lmperoeptlhie as are tne oaonii in
ordinary drinking water. That Insects
are able to communicate with each other
Is evident from their actions.
It Is related that a naturalist, upon
meeting an advancing column of ants, evi
dently moving from one portion of the
country to another, caught one of the lead
ers and killed it, placing It exactly in the
middle of tbe path, at some distanoe ahead
of the column. The leaders ran back to
their oomrades, and, putting tbelr heads
close together, appeared to engage In ani
mated conversation. Then It was apparent
that a certain oourse was agreed upon.
The ants took up tbelr line of march, di
viding the column in the middle, each
portion going around the place where their
dead relative lay, and although the way
was inconvenient and rough they came
no nearer than six feet to the dead body.
After passing it they Joined again and
went on without hesitation.
Every housewife knows that if a mouse
is caught in a trap and escapes it wlU be
extremely difficult to catoh more mice In
that same trap for some days to come. If
tbe. mouse is made a prisoner, It evidently
leaves marks or warnings of some sort for
Its fellows. After a number of mice have
been caught in a trap those remaining will
give it a wide berth. Instances of tljls
kind might be multiplied indefinitely to
prove that all classes of living creatures
are able to make themselves understood by
others of their kind. New York Ledger.

This story Is told of the late Emperor

of the military aoademy that a oadet

Berlin unaccompanied by a relative. A

tured one night unattended.
A gentleman came and sat at a small
table near him and began chatting pleas
antly, when suddenly one of the ohlefs of
the academy passed them. "Sir," whis

"Certainly," said tbe gentleman, smiling.
Next morning at parade the unfortunate
youth, who had hoped to escape, was called
by name from the ranks. Tremblingly be
