is $40 feet in length, being the longest span

by running seven locomotives and four cars OF
railroad iron upon it, weighing in the aggre.

Tue Public CREDIT, The public
credit Is a sacred truss = be sedulously
guarded BY al those in authority. But
we cannot help thinking that the extreme
sensitiyeness Of the public creditors which
vents itself in the denunciation of those
who would remonetize silver, as repudia-
tionists and swindlers, comes with very
bad grace indeed from men who bought
their bonds at an average Of 63 cents in
the dollar, and paid for them, not in gold,
but in paper The dollar, whether of pa
per, silver or gold, ought to be of equal
and uniform value, and at all times inter
changeable. The outery against silver
coin is senseless, inasmuch as it is, along
with gold, the recognized currency Of the
constitution. If the public creditors had
bought their bonds at par, and paid in
paper, at gold value, there would be some
show of consistency in their extreme sem
sitiyeness on this subject. As is, instead
of dealing out their denunciations SO freely
against those who favor a restoration of
the constitutional currency destroyed in
1873, they should put their hands on their
mouths and remember with shame the ex-
alted patriotism which prompted them to
prop and sustain their country's credit at
shave Of 81 cents in the dollar A
contemporary very aptly says
THKRENoNETIzATioN oFSnvER. press
In the commercial centres Of the country and
many Of the public men also, are attempting
to brand as repudiationists those who advo.
cate the remonetization Of silver. But the
discussion Of this subject has brought the
people to know what the facts are, and what
the laws have been as to silver coming, and
knowing these, they understand how abusive
and senseless such ephithets are.
The silver dollar of 37lt grains pure metal
was legal tender equally with gold, from
1892 to 1873, when it was demonetized by an
act Of Congress, passed in February Of that
year.
When silver was demonetized, the debtor
class were deprived of right they possessed
whenthe debts we're contraeted-that Of max.
ing payment in either gold or silver Of money
they had received from the creditor class in a
deprecated paper currency. The demonet-
zaiion Of Silver made specie scareerand dear
er, and was cruel wrong. At whose bid
ding was the financial policy Of 81 years sud
denly abrogated? The proposal to remone.
tize silver is a proposal TO retain as legal
tender currency coinage the country has
used as legal tender from the foundation OF
the government, until years ago.

The entertainment given in the School
Hall Saturday night by the Bellevue
Reading Club was success, financial

large audience in attendance. The
question has been asked, Why don't
this club give these pleasant entertain
ments mNe frequently? They would
undoubtedly be largely patronlzed.
We clip the following from the En-
quirer of Saturday: "Sheritf Wallace

ton County, but resident OF Bellevue,

Mr.. Morgan was not President of the
Hayes and Wheeler Club; and further
more, he cast his vote for Tilden and
Henurlcks.

AT Cheektowaga, near Buffalo, the
following remarkable verdict was rem
dered by CoroneTs jury last week:
"Victor Rehm and Conrad Smith came
to their death on the 22d day of Decem-
Der, 1876 on the crossing of the Erie
of Cheektowaga, and that the deaths OF
said Victor Rehm and Conrad Smith
were not caused through the careless
ness or negligence of the Erie Railway
or its employees" The cause of death
is left in some obscufity, but the zeal
with which the corporation is vindi-
Gated is very handsome.
A Newport lady was shocked one

window, and blasphemy was varied with
extOrtionate demands for subsidy.
The Providence journal breaches sem
sible sermon from this little text. "Give
work to the able.bodied,"it it says; "give
food and shelter to the sick; give SYM
pathy to the distressed and consolation
to the afflicted; but beware how you
give aims to the lazy" The public can
not be cautioned too often against set
ting premium upon vagrancy through
indiscriminate charity. The eyes should
be opened before the pocket-b0ok."
