Hon. Mr.. Trowbridge spoke here last Thurs
day evening to large crowd Of eager listeners
His arguments in favor Of honest money were
so plain and convincing that wayfaring man
though fool need not err therein providing
he would give ear; but it is simply casting
pearls before swine to attempt to convert

either will not listen or else they will repudate

They work upon the plan that lie well stuck

J. Skies passed from earth life, aged SO years
and months.
Mrs Skies was born In the town OF East
hampton, Mass. March Sd, 1870, was married
Dec. 23d, 1918, to DR.. Zenas Skies Of West
hampton. where they resided until the year
1897, then moved with their family to this
town, q Wild and uncultivated country, and
endured the prvations and hardships incident
to pioneer. She, early in life, united with
the Congregational Church, and has always
maintained q christian character and trusted
in the christians promises. Her perceptive
faculties have been IN . shadow for several
years, and her former life was one OF activity,
but she has now laid 1t down IN peace; when
she will take it up again, we know not but
feel confident when she does, there will be NO
dImness, no blur, no confusion to prevent her
full enjoyment of the Promised Land, the re-
ward to the faithful; for the Revelator says
There will be no night there. and they need
no candle, neither light Of the san, FOR the
Lord God giveth them light, and they shall

THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.

National finance is without doubt the most
important problem Of the times, and the sec
ond edition of Mr.. Fawcetts Hand Book of
Finance, just published by 5. c. Griggs & Co..
Chicago, appears most OPPORTUNITY. This vol
ume gives the history OF paper money, from
It's very beginning down to it's sovereign SUI
premacy in civilized countries and particularly
IN the United States: II treats or suspensions
OF specie payments, and supplies a complete
and lucid digest OF the monetary laws Of the
United States. The book presents over so
tables andy diagrams, showing precisely the
facts to which reference is most frequently
necessary, including very many things which
one needs to know, whether he has to do with
financial questions or not.
Every citizen should inform himself on this
subject as thoroughly as possible, and the fol-
lowing extracts from leading papers about
Fawcett's Handbook OF Finance, show how
important An aid It will be to anyone.
"This volume should be read by all who take
an interest in financial matters."-London
Commercial Gazette, (England)
"Of inestimAble importance in the study OF
finance."-Courer- Journal, Louisville.
There is no species OF exact information
bearing upon the financial question which can
not be quickly found between these covers
Utica Morning Herald.
Mr.. Fawcetts statistics are OF such value
that we do not see how any one who pretends
to discuss finance generalp can afford to be
without them. Mining World, London.
"We recommend all who desire to master
the subject Of finance, by the argument of LOGIC
and the logic Of facts. carefully to read Faw--
cett's Hand Book Of Finance. -. As full and
very complete collection of monetary statistics
this work has never been equalied or even ap-
preached 1t is a storehouse OF facts. "-Phila-
delphia Press.
:. 1t cannot fail to be Of great use to students,
writer's and legislators, as also to bankers and
merchants, who desire to inform themselves
OF the influences which surround and conse-
quently affect, favorably if understood and
availed Of, or unfavorably IL disregarded, all
their financial and commercial operations
Accepting Mr.. Fawcetts estimate OF the steady
Increase OF consumption OF gold in the arts,
the adoption OF the double standard-gold and
siyer-as the basls OF the monetary system,
not only Of the United States, but Of all coun-
tries, will soon become an absolute necessity.

The Office of State Librarian is one for which
women should compete. There is surely nothing
unsexing" in It's duties, and women abound
who are amply able and perfectly competent to
fulfill them. One OF the most practical eco

to give them a chance to help themselves. This
all will allow. The spasms of terror with which
some are attacked when a woman Office holder
is mentioned would surely be mild when this
Office was the chosen one.-Portland (Oregon)
