SOUND FINANCIAL SENSE FROM OHIO.
From letter by TIE Hon. d. W. McCiug in The Lebanon ga
The greenbacks are only promissory notes,

The greenbacks are only pr0mlss0ry notes,
now nsed as currency, but with constantly varying
value Sooner later they will be either paid or Iepu
dated. There is middle path We may as wei looh
the alternative steadily in the face. We can only expect
their aymrnt at the hands of the Republican party ii
is idle 10 expect such contamination from Democrats
That party denounced their issue and predicted that
they would be PAID and it now works to ful III
prophecy There can be no return OF prosperity eA
cept by lle road OF honest aud manly discharge of our
obligations There be no satisfactory condition oil
until the distracting stons OF currency ana
coinage and National finance are settled ana no settle
ment is possible except by process OF just PAYNE
At present the politicians are holding business by the
throat Every meeting of Congress is cause for alarm
Men stand still and wait 10 what monster VIII issne

SECRETARY sHERMAN's VIEW OF SILVER.

Secretary Sherman said, in a conversation
To-Day, that could what the President woul
do with toe Silver Bill, but that it would become law

clusion, veto OF no veto, In view OF the two.tirds
majority in both houses Those who had looked for
the country from the disaster would have
TO look elsewhere for as IL could DO OF no rac
teal effect under the circumstances The Secretary
takesa gloomy view of the financial situation Upon
his attention being called TO the fact that gold had MOI
gone up bonds weakened, the Secretary said that
these effects might not be immediate, but, IN bis opinion
they were certain He thinks silver will drive gold out
of the country He says that after the law Is perfected
and is in force it viii be executed the full extent and
the country shall have the matter fairly and fuly tested
but thinks within year they will be very sick
of 1t. In answer to an inquiry he stated that aDout
100000 of the per cent bonds were sold daily, or
about 10 per OF the amount he thought would DO

THE SILVER BILL.
THE SILVER MEN DIVIDED.

THE SILVER MEN DIVIDED.
THE RADICALS DISPOSED TO MAKE FRESH FIGHT
-MoDERATEs THINK THE PRESENT BILL Salts
FACTORY.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUHEI
WARRINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The House will probably
agree tomorrow to Mr. Alexander H. Stephenss mo-
ton take the modified Silver Bill from the Speak
ers table. Ii present estimates OF the temper OF the
House are correct, the Senate amendments VIII DC
concurred in without reference TO the Committee on
Banking and Currency.
This will not be done, however, without sharp
contest The ultra silver men, who are led by Cen
eral Ewing, are opposed to the bill as it now
stands the more they study its provisions and I'M
dersiand what is necessary operation will be. They
say that they shall urge the reference of the bill to
the committee, and if they are beaten in that they
shall demand separate vote each one
of the Senate amendments. They have no doubt
that they will be able to beat at least one OF them,
and so succeed in sending the biz to a conference
committee, where they hope it will fare better than
il has Jared in the Senate. The leaders OF THIS
movement say that if the Senate amendments are
agreed to it will be the worst " sell out OF the
silver cause that has yet occurred.
On the other hand, many Representatives who are
in favor Of radical silver bill-one that shall pro.
vide for unlimited free coinage and bullion cerit|
cates-annOunce their determination to vote 1or
immediate concurrence in the Senate amendments.
They do not like Them but they think the modified
bill even is better than no bill. and that If that IS
once enacted into law it will be easier to carry
further legislation either as addenda to npproprla-
ton bills or as independent measures. These men
recognize the fact that if any one of the essential
senate amendments is rejected, the bill will lose
some votes in the Senate when it comes to passing
II over the Presidents veto. and that there is no sup
port to be spared in that body.
Another consideration which has weight Is that
some of the Republicans in the House. whose votes
it is desirable to have, settling down TO the idea
that the modified bill is just the measure the conn
try needs and are making up their minds to vote
for that and no other.
In spite of all this opposition, those who FAVOR
concurrence in the Senate amendments now expect
to carry the House by large majority.

Who Invented the Teleseopes

The invention Of the telescope has been
generally attributed to Calico, but It ap-
pears the Claim is not we'll founded. A
library in Zurich Contains q manuscript
written in 1916 by Scheiner, in which
occurs the following curious passage:
ut must be allowed first, considering
what the telescope does, that Baptista
POrta has better right to be thought the
inventor, because he describes, after his
own way, in obscure words and puzzling
expressions, an instrument like the tele-
scope. But, secondly, if we speak Of the
telescope, as it is now used after general
perfection, we must say that. neither
Porta nor Calico is the first discoverer
OF it, but the telescope in this sense was
discovered in Germany, among the Bel
gians, and that accidentally by one
Kramer, who sold spectacles, and either
for amusement or experimentation com.
bined concave and convex glasses, 80 that
with both glasses he could see quite
small and distant object large and near !;
at which success being rejoiced, he
united several similar parts OF glasses in
Ia tube and offered the combination at a
high price to wealthy people. There
after they (the telescopes) became gradu-
ally more common among the people,
and spread to other countries. In this
way two of them were brought for the
first time by a Belgian merchant to
Italy; of these, one remained long in the
college at Rome; the other went first to
Venice, later to Naples, and here the
Italians, and especially Calico, at that
time Professor of Mathematics in Paduah,
took the opportunity of improving it to
astronomical purposes, and extend its use
further. Thus the telescope, as We have
it to-day, was discovered by Germany
and perfected by Italy; the whole world
now rejoices in it."

"Went Down to Boston"

After President TT lers second veto Of
. bill to charter . Bank Of the United
States, every member Of the Cabinet ex-
cept Daniel Webster, the Secretary of
State, resigned. The Wings severely de-
nounced Webster for remaining in the
administration. 1t happened that one of
his friends called to see him when the
denunciations were falling upon the
statesman thick and heavy. This incl
dent occurred:
Finding him in gloomy mood, he
exclaimed
"Mr. Webster, you ought not to be
gloomy about anything. Your fame is
made"
Fame" replied Webster, "and much
for fame" ... s..
Whereupon, he told the following
story: ....
He said he was travelling in railway
car on certain occasion, and it 20 hap
pened that he was seated by the side OF
very old gentleman. He soon found
out that this old gentleman was q citi-
zen of New Hampshire, and lived in
Mr.. .Webstera native town. He asked
the old man if he knew the Webster
family up there.
"Oh, yes" responded the octogenarisn,
"old Mr.. Webster and I were boso m
friends in his lifetime"
"Well. what has become of his chill.
drena" inquired Mr.. Webster. The old
man answered:
why, there's Ezekiel, he's the greatest
lawyer in New Hampshire, and one of
the greatest in the country"
He then took up the daughters and
told when they had married, and how
we'll they had married, and finished his
account of the family without mention
ing the name of Daniel.
"Were those all of the children2" asked
Mr.. Webster. The old man answered in
the affirmative. "Are you sure there was
not boy named Daniel9" inquired Mr..
Webster.
"Daniel, Daniel, Daniel" soliloquized
the old man for few minutes, and then
broke out with the reply, "Oh, now l do
remember. There was one by the name
of Daniel, but he went down 10 Boston,
and have not heard of him since"
