ANOTHER bugaboo is raised by the gold
ties to Brighten the people, but it won't win
The New York Tribune exclaims in great ap.
parent distress: sour bonds are coming
home p to which the Chicago Inter Ocean re.
spends with much pertinence: LET them
ocme! II is the place for them. 1t would be Q
royal blessing if every cent Of our public
debt could be taken and held by our owr
people. We hope no one will get fright
ened at the shout that our bonds are re
turning. May be IT is so, and may DO It /,
not. But one thing is certain, if they ar,
all returned it will be because somebody /,
found willing to take them and pay for them
and in such case they are thrice welcome
1t is likely, however, that this is the las
cry of the beaten goldites After the silvel
bill becomes q law we shall hear precious
little about the influx of bonds. They ar,
the best investment for capitalists of an.
national debt on the globe, silver or n,
silver, and well the latter know IT,"

The Banning Bill.

That our army is efficient, barring the nam
Der, is conceded everywhere. Why then do
we wish to reorganize it As the organiza-
ton now exists, nigh one hundred years have
been required to bring it to its present mag
nifcent state. 1t is far beyond the need of
reconstruction. The labors to bring 1t to its
present advanced status of military science
have been incalculable - embracing all
branches of the service and every arm Of the
grand military prestige of this country, which
is commended and sought to be initiated every
where then why should we wish to destroy
this2
The BANNING bill may possess ono or two
moritorious features, but all else are crude and
unsatisfactory, and the morale, the efficiency
and tho potency Of our little army would soon
with its passage, bedestroyed. 10 break down
and destroy the salient and commendablt
features of our army science as II now Is would
DO unwise, imprudent, and illogical The
crude and prejudiced ideas of one man should
never be allowed to destroy the combined
work Of hundreds of patriotic skillful, meri
torious, and accomplished officers; but rather
that tho opposition should only the mort
strongly fortify us in the retention Of tn,
| present efficient system of our militTy service
And, further, the BANNING bill decrease
| the Numbers of our army. We need an in
crease, not the reverse. We have q create
extent of frontier and coast-line exposed thai
any nation on tho face Of the earth, With tn
present army of 20 900 men our interior gar
risons and coast dsfenses cannot be adequate
protected. 1t is now SO scattered and attenu

THE measure Of remonetizing Of silver
seems to possess so much strength that it

DEMOCRATIC editors do not believe in
progress. What has been may be again I;

view the world was finished when the

The Louisiana returning board is charged
with the larceny of the Presidency, and the
goods in question are in the Executive Man
sion. The title to the goods depends en-
tircly upon the innocence or guilt OF the
accused In view of Transporting events, it
is becoming very interesting question to
the American people whether or not the
Presidency was secured by fraud on the
part of the Louisiana returning-board or
through honest and fair means.

THE Cleveland Ledder is alarmed at the
vast amount of property held by Catholic
bishops in their own names, and the follow
ing figures are given: In 1850 the amount
of property held by the bishops was about
$1,000, 900; in 1870 this had increased to
S6O,OOO, 900, and at the same rate of increase
the bishops control to-day over Sll0,000,O00.
One great objection to this massing of prop
erty in such hands Is that it escapes taxa
ton, and bears no part of the burdens of a
government that gives it protection.

An right then, I'll show you where you

Do you see that jug over there9"
No, sir, said the boy, looking hard at a
green box marked, 6 SIX gross safety pins. y
Not there, way back in the store.'
ooh, ycs,' said the boy.
'..Now that jug is full Of vinegar it holds
eight quarts. I've an order for four quarts,
but haven't any empty measures excepting
one holding three and another holding five
quarts. Now if you're as smart as you say
you are, perhaps you can measure the fom
quarts from the eight quarts by using the
three and the fve?'
81 can do it, said the boy, "jnst as easy
as fshing.'
elf you do, I'll give you two dollars a
week and your clothes. No guessing, now,
you must measure exactly"
can right" said the boy, have your tail
or here in fifteen minutes to measure me,

as the boy had the four quarts of vinegar
measured out in less than five minutes
