DRIFT OF POLITICAL DIsCUss1oN

The Ewing tinaocial schame for pay
ing off our great debt without the vul.
gar interposltion of hard cash or any
other kind of cash, reminds US OF the
Irish footman who vas choking for q
drink, but had "nary rcd" with
which to procure it. After long de-
liberation he made up his mind that a
financial operation on Ewing's plan
would be successful. So, when he
reached the next tavern, he went into
the bar-room and called for six conts'
worth Of crackers. The crackers made
a good deal Of a pile, and, while en-
deavoring to stow them away in his
pockets, he was seized with a sudden
disgust at tho trouble and exclaimed !:
"What botheration Just take back
the crackers and give me a glass of
whisky" The willing landlord gath
cred up the crackers accordingly, and,
after thrustiug them into his drawer,
poured out the whisky, which was
drank with u high relish apd duly
praised. The traveller then started for
the road without saying word about
the pay. Presently the landlord called
his attention to the delinquency and
hintel thnt he would DO glad to havs
the pay for the whisky. "Faith,"
quoth Paddy, "and dido't give you
the crackers tor the whisky ?" swell,
tben," said the landlord, ':just pay me
for the crackers" "Crackers, iudade, !"
exclaimed Pat with astonishment.
"you've got the crackers" The land
lord was posed, and, while be was en-
gagged in solving the problem, Put went
90 his way rejoicing. Now if Mr.. Ew.
ing should be equally successful in his
operations with the "bloated boudhold.
ers," nothing could be moro admirable
than his scheme Of finance.-Toledo
