COVER ILLUSTRATION - THE RECENT APPALLING CALAMITY ON THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION AT CHICAGO. - FIREMEN, CUT OFF FROM ESCAPE IN THE BURNING TOWER OF THE COLD-STORAGE BUILDING, LEAP SEVENTY FEET TO CERTAIN DEATH. - Drawn by Hughson Hawley. (See cover picture)
THE PACIFIC STATES AND THE SILVER QUESTION – Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, in a recently published article in relation to the subject of silver coinage, states that the people of the west are practically a unit in favor of bimetallism, or the more general use of silver in our currency.
A MISTAKEN POLICY - It seems to us that those Republicans, who persist in saying that the existing business depression is due only in secondary sense of the silver-coinage authorized by the Sherman act, and that the repeal of that measure would not afford any appreciable relief, are governed rather by partisan prejudice than by considerations of justice.
TOO MANY DEGREES – A brief dispatch from a Virginia town the other day said that a petition was in circulation asking a local college to confer the degree of doctor of divinity upon a certain reverend gentleman. Is a sad truth that degrees in this country have become so promiscuous that they mean little or nothing. Masters of arts and doctors of divinity are as plentiful as professors and colonels.
UNTIMELY PARTISANSHIP - If the speeches made at the Tammany Hall celebration of Independence Day are to be accepted as representing the temper and purpose of the Democratic party as to the financial question, there is little reason to hope that the action of that party at the coming session of Congress will be controlled by a patriotic regard for the public interests.
THE CLEVELAND SAENGERFEST by F.J. Martin - The twenty-seventh National Saengerfest of the North American Saengerbund, held in Cleveland on the 11th inst, was an occasion of great interest to our citizens. Some three thousand singers participated in rendering the grand choruses. A spacious auditorium was erected for the occasion, and the city of Cleveland left nothing undone in its efforts to make the event a memorable one.

AMERICANS IN PARIS - This is the time of year when the overworked American business man begins to ask himself whether there be not other pleasures in life besides a feverish watch of the fluctuations of the stock market or of his own debit or credit accounts, and it is then that he either betakes himself to some rural retreat or, if he be wiser, starts on a two months tour over the broad Atlantic.

ROWING ON WESTERN WATERS - The race between the crews of Cornell College and the University of Pennsylvania, rowed on the four-mile course at Lake Minnetonka on the afternoon of July 8th, was interesting in itself as a contest between two rival institutions, but doubly interesting because it was rowed nearly two thousand miles from the home of both crews.
