number Of the Transcript, his eyes
fell upon On item, and turning to us he
read aloud " Judge Page is holding a

tho man that has lived in this place for
five or six years ?" We answered irr
tho affirmative and he remarked: "About
four years ago l was in this town en-
business and nearly the whole commu
nifty was waging bitter war upon this
man, who mantu:ly stood his ground
and hattIed against corruption and
their rings. They told me they would
soon make it too hot for him in Mower

seemed shat it Was uphill business for
him, in lee' than Eve years no would

the origin Of this world. We open
our Bibles, and We feel like the Chris

man instead Of camel that went past
my tent last night? Why, I know him
by his tracks," Then, looking over at
the setting sun, the Arab said to the
skeptic: look there! that is the

WHAT IS MONEY AND WHAT ITS
USES AND OBJECTS ?-The New York
Financier, paper devoted to money,
finance, and commerce, gives a detini-
ton Of money that the world, or at
least the great majority of mankind
seems to be ignorant or mindful Of
though it, definition amounts to an Ak
iom. It says: Money is the broker
between both exchangera and exc hang
es it is as much machine as the four
rules Of arithmetic are it is a meas
ure, handle for grasping material
things, an instrument by which to
transfer them, . vernacular in which
to record and discuss them; a univer.
tai counter across which all exchanges
Of all nations are made ; a universal
language. 1t is all these but it is
not itself wealth.. That is to soy,
while to an individual Or to nation it
is wealth because it is a due bill on
all mankind for its equivalent in ma
terial things it is no part of the az
gregate realized wealth Of mankind.
It has value, for the services it per-
forms; but it takes it's value solely
from exchanges it effects, and without
the object Of those exchanges
would be worthless substance.

was not supported by q majority Of the
Assembly. On the 24th inst the
President addressed that body, urging
tho definite establishment Of the Re.
public, but his policy in which he was
by the entire cabinet, was
rejected BY vote Of 362 to 346, and
in the evening Theirs and his Ministry
General McMahon vas elected Pres.
ident without any disturbance what
ever. He han accepted, appointed q
and presented the following
message ~ the Assembly:
II am animated by respect for you,
wishes, and will scrupulously exec ute
them. The National Assembly had
two great tasts-the liberation Of the

Tho first was ably conducted by my
predecessor with heroic patience. The

plish tho other. l shall follow the for

Protection from Accidents

How many moro horrible disastcrs-
tho direct result Of culpable carelessness
Or nesligence-shall We have before
action takes the place Of words, and
these dire calamities are abated? It is
with something like despair that one
attempts to write or speak Of the terri.
bic tragedy just enucttd ut Dixon
Every time similar accidents occur the
press point to them a. the result of care
lessness amounting to criminality, and
the people arc loud in their demands
for punish,ncnts that shall reprcss them
in the future; but tho warnings, the
advice, the protests, are passed unhecd-
cd. and the calamity is repeated with
renewed and exaggerated horror. The
late disaster 10 the quiet little city Of
Dixon, had been foreshadowcd BY one
nearly similar at Elgin but = short time
since. The latter had shown the an
safe character of the Trucsdell truss
bridge, and if those responsible for tho
building Of such traps we're not utterly
reckless Of possible consequences the
warning would have been needed and
this second calamity avoided. 1t is
always possible, in the moment of an
guish that succeeds such calamity, to
do injustice to those who seem rcspon-
sible for its occurrence but it is hard
to see how the builders Of this bridge,
and those who examined and accepted
the work can be held guiltlcss for such
an awful sacrifice of human life.
The crowding of such structure is
not IN uncommon occurrence, and none
should have known better than the con-
tractors that any span incapable Of
bearing triple the eight that was upon
the Dixon brid sc a week or SO ago was
= fraud, and its construction trifing
vi; h the lives of those who might ven
turo upon it.
We do not know that this awful disas
ter, which has filed a sister city with
mourning, will do more than others
have done to check this careless aud
ceaselcss repetition of catastrophies :;
but it is time that the public demanded
q radical and thorough reform in mat
tiers relating 10 the lives Of men and
women, and until there is an awakening
to the fact that human life is now the
cheapest and least protected Of all our
possessions, the Dixon disaster will be
duplicated and re.duplicated in endless
aud fearful variety.-Imfer. Ocean.

ssThe Farmers are I'd R10ls.''

above statement in my hearing. In

from it. They are condemned, set
aside, passed by, liz making selections
for positions necessary to the existence
Of the Nation, They are to-day pay,
ing the penalty Of q people I'D to
all iutents and purposes.
The monopoly leech is sucking their
life.blood, they are poorly clothed,
poorly educated, and, many Of them,
poorly fed. Enslaved by eircumstan-
ces, they IRE plodding on, suffering and
doing. Life is, to them, only tread.
mill experience. Yet farmers sre not
ID fools. By nature and by prac-
ticc they are the peers Of any other
class of men. They have as much in
tellect, moral worth, character, dignity,
as those who belong to the learned pro-
fessions.
1t is true that mere appearance does
not do as much for them as for those
just mentioned-they are unable to
avail themselves Of the advantages Of
dress, Of cultivation, or Of polite socie-
ty. They arc rouud.shouldered, hard
handed and clumsy. They cannot bow
US graciously, nor smile as meaningly
as those who live upon the fruit Of their
toll. But there is a progressive element

classes up to their true 1evcl-the first
