The Pic Mic Of the Season.

AS is well known to our readers for several
years past the Pic Mic Of the Caledonian Club
has been considered for excellence PIC
mic Of the season, always enjoyed by every
participant and we are pleased to state It
has been determined that the pic mic of 1873
will form no exception to the rule. The
games, the special centre OF interest will be
participated in by several of the most dis
tinguished Athletes Of the States and Canada,
nearly 500 being offered in prizes. But what
is better than all it will be a family re-union.
The characters, whose presence always dis
grace the gatherings of other societies, will be
excluded Wives and mothers, sweathearts
and sisters can rest assured, blackguards Of
81 either sex will not be permitted to mar
their enjoyment We therefor expect to see
gocdly gathering Of ''Scotias sons and
daughters, feeling satisfied that nothing will
hc lacking in the management to contribute
70 their enjoyment. ADVERTISEMENT.

voters, IN this city, who are Disguised with

Is concerned that it matters not whether the
Democratic, Republican OF SO called Peoples

There Is no conservative element to keep them
Ia check Ii is tins or that party on the one

overlooked If we had a conservative ele-

they would act as a check on the tendency of
municipal corruption
But it is not only in our city affairs that
We should take a hand. There are evident
and unmistakable signs that in our legisla-

laws which Will discriminate in favor Of the
capitalistic and employing community. How
are We prepared to meet these agressions;
shall We be led tamly to the polls, like so
many sheep%o the slaughter pens, to vote
for men who are selected by the rings, and
cauyuSes with an eye soley to the interest of

ings many thounsAnds Of people with remun-
erative employment. To fully develop the
benefits Of the savings bank system in this
city and throughout the West, the public
mind must be schooled on the question. The
beneficial results throughout Europe and the
New England States, must be carefully scru-
tinized before our people viii accept them as
an example.

THE bank-robbery organs are comparing
greenbacks with graybacks, which was the
name given to Confederate money Gray
backs we're made payable in gold, six
months after the the recognition of the in
dependence of the Confederate States by
the United States. AS the independence
Of the Confederate States was never re-
cognized, whereas the United States have
been maintained in all of their original
integrity, it is very difficult to see how a
fair comparison can be made. But, then,
the bank robbers do not want to make fair
comparisons. All they want is to mislead
the people in order to rob them, These
scoundrels are simply playing huge con-
con 6dence game.

The failure Of Duncan, Sherman q Co.,
illustrates the disadvantages of specie
payments IN a manner which ought to be
understood. The business of this firm
was mostly transacted with foreign banks,
and the failure is largely due to the effects
Of the English panic, although the bullion
papers are very careful to keep this fact
out of sight. If we we're upon a specie
basis, instead of there being one firm
carried down, there would be hundreds of
houses wrecked in consequence of the
English panic. Yet there is not bullion
editor in the country that will tell the
truth about the matter.
