They will wait to seui what the newspapers before committing themselves Secretary who, perhaps, knew what the plan would be, speaks approvingly'. LET the'American people adopt tbe plan of currency reform recom- by thm monetary commission And another link in the chain that will bind in slavery to a moneyed aristocracy will have been securely welilled. The producing millions of America ought to defy further encroachments by the money power. SECRETARY GAOH takes a very Hopeful view of tbe business situation and declares tbat prosperity is here. He attributes the change to the enormous balance of trade io our favor.

He predicts that the United States will shortly become the great- cct creditor nitiou on earth. Every condition is itavorable to prosperity In this country, but it is not coming Tory rapidly, notwithstanding the enormous exports of American farm products whitib Europe is thin year compelled to buy. There are nearly 100,000 idle-men in New Yorlt cltj alone, and tbe wages of 50,000 labor ing people in the New England cot ton mills will be reduced more than 10 per cent lihis week. What oondi turn would American farmers now be in had there been no foreign demand for our food products? Natural con dltioni favor prosperity; artlficia conditions do not. THI, currency reform plan submitted by the monetary commission being analyzed by the press of the lountry and its purposes interpreted, Judging from the character of the report submitted It may be surmised! tbat the men who drafted the plan are the paid agents of the gold conspirators and the national banks.

Tbe Indianapolis Sentinel maintain;) that in the first section of the "plan" is proposed a direct steal ol! over $200,000,000 from the people. It ts in these words: "All obligations of the UJited States for tbe payment of money now existing, hereafter entered into, shall, unless otherwise expressly provided, be deemed, and held, to be payable in gold coin of the United States, as defined in the standard aforesaid This would by declaration ot law make ail our outstanding bonds geld bonds, Ti.e value of this change to the bond-holder is definitely known. At the Jast sale of bonds by Mr. Cleveland, In 1895, be reported to congress that the blda for $62,400,000 of bonds were made 116,174,770 gireater on condition the bonds werei made payable In 'gold" than If payable In "coin," Congress refused to make the change. The contraclilwas closed with special! attention drawn to the fact that, making the bonds payable in gold added about 25 per cent to their market valuo.

And now it is pro-- josed to change the contract in thai) ivay, without a ceo'tof compensations as to over of bonds. It is just as a case of robbery as.it; would be for tbe bondholders to enter the treasury vaults with drill and dynamite and jimmies and take that amount of tbe money. Boned Goow. Select a good sized goose and hare it boned; then stuff with the following forcemeat: Pass through the mincing machine a pound of cooked tongue and half a pound of fat ham, then mix thia a teaspoonful of mixed herbs, the same quantity of chopped parsley, a shallot, 2 hard boiled eggs finely minced and a breakfast, cup full of brown bread crumbs, Season thia mixture with pepper, and a pinch of mace. Bind together with 2 eggs well beaten, adding a small glass of port wine.

Sew the bird up securely and skewer well together and roast. When done, allow to get cold and then mask with a good glaze. When this is set, remove the skewers and tie round twice with white ribbon. Garnish with parsley, rings of lemon and thin slices of apple. This will be found a really delicious way of serving a goose.

The dish is also decidedly decorative in effect. THE BATTLES OF THE EIGHTEENTH REGIMENT, 1861 TO 1864. With Hoocl't MU1 mnd Second at jrrederlclubarv, Gettysburg find tbe 189S, by American Press Association. Book lights ARLY in April, 1861, the Eighteenth Georgia took the field, led by Colonel W. T.

Wofford. Favored of fortune for a year, it saw no fighting until June, 1862, when it covered itself with glory and by charging and capturing nine pieces of artillery at Gaines Mill. The glory consisted in the trophies of the The regiment was then in brigade with Hood's Texans, a famous band of fighters that carried off the. honors that day by piercing the Federal center and deciding Hood's charge at Gaines Millwas the first brilliant and successful feat of the kind on the battlefields of tne Potomac. The day was going against Lee when the Texans were ordered in to start something.

Everywhere in Lee's front were lines of breastworks and batteries planted upon ridges, only to be approached across wide and swampy iravin.es. In front of Hood at the bottom bed of a ravine ran a deeu creek with sciirped banks answering admirably for a ditch. Beyond it was a breastwork heavily. manned, and above that near the crest another breastwork manned wilih infantry and several; well served guns. The slope was covered with thin timber, screening the Federals from view, but enabling them to eee the charging enemy.

Led by Hood in. peison, the Fourth Texas and Eighteenth Georgia together rushed on through the ravine over ditch and breastwork up the hill into the batteries and swarming infantryi but leaving a bloody trail behind them. Colonel Marshall of the-Fourth was killed instantly, bnt General Hood and Colonel Ruff of the Eighteenth Georgia escaped. Fourteen cannon were captured the charge, and-nine of them credited to the Gaines Mill might have had a different history if the attack of Hood at the center bad been delayed or had failed. Re-enforcements for the Federal line were within hail, but the rush of the Texans over the works in full view of the army almost caused a panic, for the Federals were largely outnumbered all over the field.

The Eighteenth was: spared further slaughter throughout seven days' battles, although it was engaged several times. Its nest bloody affair was with the Texans ac second Manassaa.

The first application gives instant relief and the continued' uae for a short time a permanent removal of the tumors or che small parasites which- cause the intense Itching and discomfort of itching piles. Many physiciaas for a long time lupposed that the remarkable relief afforded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because it wts supposed to con- iain cocaine, opium or other similar drugs, but such.

Next day came the tag of war to decide who should hold Jack? son was being overwhelmed by Pope and Fitz-Jolm Porter's corps came np on the flank of Jackson to give tbe fin- stroke -when Hood's division, led by the Tesan brigade, dashed into the flank of Porter.

The Tenth New York held its ground until overrun, then in pursuit, cheered by the capture of the flag of the Tenth by Private William Kay, tbe Georgians rushed upon Duryea's sturdy zouaves, the Fifth New York. The Duryeas had had -warning and were in solid line, but the Georgians struck them diagonally, compelling fciiejn to bend back the line and fight from t-wo facings. In thia manner they covered the battery and stood there until over 400 of their number fell in their tracks, over 100 of them killed. Orders to retreat were given before the. line was annihilated, but tbe officers who attempted to repeat them along the ranks were killed before they could make the orders heard.

The Georgians swept on over the prostrate zouaves, and the color bearer mounted one of tbe guns and waved his battleflag to cheer on the hand'Eul Closing up its gaping ranks, the regiment clashed on to a socond battery. The indomitable color bearer, Sergeant Weems, led the column and was shot dovi-n within 40 paces of tbe second row of guns. Two others fell in attempting to keep the flag afloat. Blindly rushing on, the Georgians found themselves alone in the midst of two Federal regiments. Colonel Wofford withdrew remnant to the old line.
