list, and agreed with nobody who
describes our present currency as q
"rag money currency" He ascrib-
ed the apparent unpopularity of
such q bond to the efforts OF the
banks to deceive the people with re-
gard to its purposes and effects. But
he predicted q time when their rea-
sons and their false premises would
be thoroughly understood, and the
people would take the matter into
their own hands and demand legis-
lation that was in their interest. The
effect of such . bond as this, Gener-
al Spinner said, had been studied
out by him in all its raInifications,
and he was not only convinced that
it was safe and wise measure for
Congress to enact, but that it was
the only one possible whereby to
establish a stable, equitable and per-
manent financial basis for the gov
ernmeDt. He spoke 1t length of the
silver resumption clause of the act
of Congress last winter, for which
he has only contempt. The gov
erument cannot make silver dollar
that will be equal to a dollar in gold
without actually resuming specie
payments, for which il has made no
preparations. The present silver
dollar can never stand for a gold
dollar, because it has no such equiv
alent value.

DON'T BELIEVE IN 'EM.-We have
no faith in ex-Catholic priests, or
escaped nuns, or seeded wives of
Brigham Young, or reformed black
legs, or reformed drunkards, who
go about exhibiting themselves as
brands snstched from the burning,
who advertise to expose the crimes
of their former and bosom friends.
If it be true, what they say of their
former associations, it becomes them
to be exceedingly modest, and re-
pent them of their sins, and not pa
Fade their former rascalities to a
gaping crowd. Even the politician
who abandODs his party associations
and goes over to the enemy, looks
better in back seat than in a front
one. And certainly one of theOe re
formed culprits had better not turn
saint until he or she has done pen
ance q while for the sins they have
so lately been convicted of.-Cleve-

It is estimated that it. costs two
thousand five hundred dollars to
rear and educate q child until he is
fourteen years of age. If he does
not prove q useful citizen, society
loses this amount and what il costs
to support him afterwards, and ii
he be vicious how much worse.
Years ago q female pauper child
was abandoned as an outcest in the
streets of New York. She grew up
and became the mother of a long
line. Criminal prosecutions against
her offspring cost the county one
hundred thousand dollars, and 120
criminals of her line were imprison-
ed, in the aggregate I4O years,
costing society at large one million
dollars. The very best thing the
State can do for its own protection
and increase of wealth is to provide
education for all. The State should
also certainly provide for Outcasts.
1t is cheaper to provide children 8
home than to allow them to run al
large. The State must some time
provide for them, and why not in
childhood instead ofproviding them
with prisons and asylums in after
years ?-Supt. Etter.
