WHY PEOPLE WORSHIP
GOLD,
Has No
i Belle of Barbarism and
Basis in Actual Value.
. Men are accustomed to regard gold
as the epitomization of wealth; to asso
ciate it with ease and luxury; to con
sider it the apotheosis of security and
power, says William Penn, Jr., in Blue
and Gray. This is merely a relic of
barbaric ages, when monetary science
was unknown and bits of the rare
metals, coined or uncoined, were the
. particular possessions of king-s and con
querors. This popular ascription of in
herent value to the yellow metal, this
silly notion that it by some means pos
sesses a regal right to rule the com
merce of the world, is so ingrained in
: .human nature that most men recoil in
dismay when it is suggested that its
use as money may be entirely discon
tinued. While silver shared the throne
with gold it, too, was held in as much
and sometimes in greater reverence;
bat when, in 1873, concerted action
condemned the white metal to take its
place with corn and cotton and all the
other subjects of the golden king, the
power of gold was doubled and made
absolute. Too many who regard gold
as a ruler by inherent right forget
that, during the long struggle for su
premacy, silver was more than once
within an ace of degrading her rival to
the ranks, but at the end the gold
power triumphed. Had the result been
reversed the advocates of "honest"
money might now be filled with horror
at the thought of "fifty-cent dollars" of
gold instead of silver.
People who are influenced by. this
ancient form of gold idolatry would do
well to consider that it is a god of their
own creation, whose power may and
should be cut off whenever it becomes
oppressive.
The Pope as a Mountaineer.
The present pope in his younger days
was an ardent Alpine climber. A mon
ument is now being erected at Pietras
tornina, in the extreme corner of the
Parthenian district, as a reminder of his
exploits as a mountain tourist. In 1844
Gioachimo Pecci was at this place to
meet a fellow prelate. The ruins of
the robber castle, that of the prince of
Btorno, which, according to the tra
ditions of time and place, no man had
ascended for many decades, aroused
the ambition of Bishop Pecci. For the
sum of twenty paoli he secured the
loan of a shepherd's suit, and, rigged
out in this style, he managed to reach
what seemed to be an inaccessible
height of two hundred and fifty meters.
Pecci was- at that time an apostolic
legate. The monument commemorates
the anniversary of these exploits.
"That's the seventh time this morn
ing," aid the shoe merchant, as a cus
tomer left, tho store, "that yu told me
in tone of voice that couldn't eccape be
ing overheard that a woman reminded
yon of "Trilby." " "Yes" replied the
new clerk, "and that's tlie seventh
wonimi that I've sold a pair of ehoea to."
Vest's comparison of the senate to "a
lot of niuscovy drakes bowing and stoop
ing solemnly, and then going stupidly
to the consideration of routine," will do
more for hia reputation than the longest
speech that he has ever made.
Wife Is that you, George? Husband
Yes, dear. Wife Oh, I'm so glad.
Fin always afraid there's a man in the
house till you come.
A steamer's hull, probably that of the
Chicora, was seen floating off Glen Hav
en, 20 miles north of Benton harbor, at
noon today.
She So the first thing Tom told you
about his fiancee was that she was "aw
fully sensible?" He Yes. She That
settles it. She's plain.

The State Commander writes ns from
Lincoln, Neb., as follows: "After try
ing other medicines for what seemed to
be a very obstinate cough in our two
children we tried Dr. King's New Dis
covery and at the end of two days the
cough entirely left them. We will not
be without it hereafter.as our experience
proves that it cures where all other re
medies fail." Sigued F. W. Stevens,

The Capital National bank, of Salem

organization, nine years' ago, $79,516, or
$4,514 more than 100 per cent on its en
tire capital stock.
While G. W. Boggs was crossing Ap
