THE late Chief Justice Chase's mother

THE late Chief Justice Chases mother
once bore her part in little
comedy which was almost Shakes
sperean. With her husband she
was visiting two of his brothers, who
were also married. The three gentlemen,
sitting and talking together, made some
playful wagers on the subject of their
wives tempers, and agreed to test them.
So, walking into the room where the three
ladies were seated ut the Preside making
caps, which 1T that time were very fash
ionsble, the trial began. The first broth
er, after some slighting remarks concern
ing caps in general, and his wife's hsndi-
work IN particular, commanded her to
throw il in the fire." Naturally, the in
dignant lady paid small attention TO the
oidet. The next brothers sttemp, met
with the same result; bot no sooner did

ANOTHER JOB.

That thrifty individual John Sherman.
who it is charged, borrowed money to pay
his election campaign expenses for Con-
gress eighteen years ago, and though his
salary since then does not exceed $500, 900
is now reported to be millsonaire, has
been caught at another little "honest'
money trick Some time ago Judge Kelly
introduced a resolution inquiring of the
Secretary of The Treasury, whether any
public money was in possession of any Ma
Gonal or State bank or private banker on
September Both and November Both. The
reply shows that there was deposited with
certain National banks on September Both
an aggregate of nearly S65, 900, 900. and on
November Both an average.of $33, 100000
OF this amount there was held by the First
National Bank of New York City on Sep
tembsr 3Othf over SIG, 900, 900, or more thar
ode half of the aggregate amount held by
all other banks. The privilege of retaining
the subscription for ninety days was sx
tended to the banks as an iuduosment
for them to act as agents for the Cover
ment in placing the four per cent loan.
We should not be at all surprised, if i
is ascsrtained, that great part of wha
Sherman reports as ''cssh in the Treasury,
is really put for "safe-keeping" with tn,
banks, who, as the above showing proves
haye been using the money of the people
with Sherman's sanction.
The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1878-12-26

The National banks are sly, devlish
sly. They fixed resumption in such
way, that government must pay gold,
but they can pay greenbacks. And
the government pays out the gold only
in New York City. Every body can't
60 there or send for the gold. II the
banks were compelled to pay gold for
their notes, they would be in a pretty
pickle and they know it. The sworn
statement of the Ohio National Bank
just published, shows that this institu.
ton has $3.50. 900 of its notes in circu-
while its vaults contain only 81, ,364.2C
of specie and gold treasury certifcstes
This is what's called "basis. Cleve

gardless of cost, provided they live in
New Lexington? 1t is nothing short
of robbery. Why should the propri-
etors and figure heads of the New Lex
ington papers be fed and clothed and
their whiskev bills paid by the tax
payers of the county? Let:every tax
payer ask himself the question, if ne
is willing to keep men in office to
squander their hard earnings on New
Lexington loafers. Honest hard work
ing peoples property has been adver-
tised delinquent, because they have
been unable to pay their share toward
keeping up the New Lexington ring.
The officials are sworn to fill theil
offices to the best Of their ability, anc
if they are doing it, all we have to sa,
is that they are more ignorant men II

Twenty two years ago next We'd
uesday the people of ofSomerset received
the news of being robbed of the coun-
ty seat. After a number of years
the i'll feeling quieted down and the
matter was allowed to rest. But of
late years, the ring converts to New
Lexington have showed their cloven
foot towards Northern Perry, and
never allow an opportunity to pass to
denounce the northern portion of the
county, and especially Somerset, while
they are squandering the very peoples
money they are seeking to injure.-
Such men as R. E. Huston, E. S. Col
born, and a number of other citizens
of New Lexington whose interests
were there came to the front and
fought like men. They do not act
like the deceitful hypocrits that claim
to be friends of Northern Perry while
they are talking to those whose inter
ests are in the north. No doubt but
when they were furnished their breat
and: butter by the people of Somer
set they voted and acted with Somer
erset, but since they receive the pub
lie money through the hands of tn
New Lexington ring they can fn'
nothing to mean to stoop to to injur
this portion of the county. The soor
