New York wants a Worlds Fair in
1889.
In October the United States Mint
coined st, 625 400, of which 5000, 900
was in standard silver dollars.
1t is shrewdly suspected that one Of
Anderson's late confessions is made
for the purpose of trying to ''get
even'' with Madame jerks. Now if
he could for once be animated by
revengeful feelings for the truth,
some information might be reason
ably hoped for from his frantic efforts
to get even.
Large quantities ofapples are being
shipped to Europe. Several vessels
which have left Boston carried 5000
barrels each, while the Campus,
which left New York City October
10Th, carried 5000 barrels, and one
day last week thirteen car loads, COM
prising 1900 barrels. were shipped
from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to
Liverpool.
The National Greenback Labor par

cans 1872. Guess the Greenback par
ty must be dead. In the present
congress it has not a member, but it
has elected thirteen to the next. At
that rate it will soon have a MAORI
ty.
The Manhattan Bank robbery was a
CHASTITY sarcasm on safes and locks. 1t
looks as if the more burglar-proof
safes, the larger and more complete
their machinery to defy rogues, why,
the easier they break through them
and defy detection. Another feature
is that your modern burglar no longer
selects ''the solemn hour Ofmidnight"
for his piratical exploits, but broad
daylight.
The Central Pacific Railroad, in it's
published statement of its earnings
for September and for the first three
months Of the year, makes a fine
showing. They earned Sl3,000,000 in
nine months, or more than a million
in excess Of their earnings for the
corresponding period last year. Then,
why do they not pay their own indebt-
edness to the government. That's
what the Taxpayers want to know.
True charity is not a charity Of
giving aims, of clothing the naked
and feeding the hungry; the more diff
ficult and more elevated charity or
judging favorably the imputed or
seldom practiced.
Yes, charity is good virtue, il it
don't stay at home. 1t wants to 60
abroad and air itself. It's one of the
virtues that can go out nights, and
stay out all night, and not be led
away, either.
Savings banks that fail, or whose
directors fail or whose investments
are insecure. the public are beginning
to find out it has not much further
use for. The sad feature about them
is that they are lures to the poor and
struggling whose scant saving they
squander and dissipate. Invariably
when the banks fail people in moder-
ate circumstances are always the
heaviest losers. The best savings
banks that poor people can deposit in,
and the most secure, are the four per
cent. bonds. They are as good as the
government itself, and the wonder is
that small depositors have not long
since seen this and withdrawn their
deposits. and invested in four per
cents. The frequent failures Of these
savings banks, however, should serve
as q warning. A word to the wise is
sufficient. Avoid savings banks, no
matter how solvent they may appear,
or how solid the directors. To-day
they may be solid. tomorrow gone
where the woodbine twineth."
