tho onlJ honest one have taken
an erro,Aeous and distorted View OF govern
ment'Al obligations. Ednund Burke, we
thiAk, entertained a oleoser and wiser theory
IT these obligations. That ilustrlous and
conservative stat stnan said
1t is TO he1yroperty Of the citizens, and not
~ Inc demand Of the creditor Of the State
that the original faith Of society IL pledged.
lha Slain Of the citizen Ia prior in time, para
mount In title and supreme In equity.
1t is because Congress has disregardei this
theory Of the duty Of government that our
commerce has been crippled, our Industries
paralyzed, our property deprecated, and our
working people left IN ideness and want. The
bondholder alone has been nursed, petted and
handled into fairness by tho government. He
bought hs bonds at sixty cents ON the
dollar payable in treasury notes and
In gold and silver. And now silver
has been deinonetized gold made higher,
and we are told that the bonds must be paid
In the more precious metal, dollar for dollar,
or the plighted honor Of the nation will
DO sDled. LII addition the volume Of
the currency Is being gradually contract
ed. absorbed from circulation among the
toiling masses the smaller branches OF
trade and industry, and concentrated
in tho hands Of the few. Under this renorse-
less and senseless policy the whole country
Is threatened with bankruptcy and the bond
holders and the moneyed kings alone flourish
in beauty and magnifoence. We doubt II it
Is an exaggeration TO say that under the
present financial system Of the government
to which the Bankers Association and the
Merchants Exchange desire the government
to adhere, the real estate Of the country has
deprecated. as n mass, 30 per cent In value,
Is 1t any wonder that failures are occurring
by the hundred and that want and idleness
prevail among the working people
The policy Of the government must be
changed. Congress must recognize that to
the property Of the citizen and not to the
demand Of the creditor Of tho State tho orig
inal faith of society is pledged; 1T must re-
eognize the fact that the right to live and
to labor Is the God-given privilege Of man III
every walk Of life, and that n policy of gov
eminent which destroys or mpairs this right
Is cruel, wicked and in the highest degree dis
honest.
We have scarcely touched this great ques-
ton In this article. we have only referred to
some of it's least important points. There
are others which we will discuss another day.

The Lord-H Hicks marriage In Now York.
over which that city Is greatly excited, would
seetn TO show that rich man cannot do
what he pleases with bis own money. or
with himself, for that matter, If he has
heirs presumptive. Lord. eighty three
years old, worth several millions OF
dollars, married dashipg widow OF forty
three, whereupon his sons accused him Of
lunacy. got out q writ df fpatico mquirentfo,
and, finally. mn order from the Judge seques-
tering oil Of the old mans property. with an
injunction prohibiting him or his agents
from disposng of any Of It. The testi-
mony Of his sons against Lord was not ut all
strong. The principal points made by them
were that the old man was In the habit of
lying about his travels and giving long. ficti-
tious and sensational accounts OF his travels
in Russia, whereas be had never been there ut
all, and that he showed u strange partiality for
the society Of women, two peculiarities that
can scarcely be considered proof of insanity,
as all travellers, from Sir John Vaudeville
down, have been privileged to exaggerate,
and weakness for female society Is some
thing that is regarded essentially human.
Coming so soon after the Vanderbilt will
case. where the principal evidence TO prove
the old Commodorss insanity was the fact
that he intended to build d 5O0-foot monument
ia Central Park, and score OF similar cases.
this action on the part Of Lords heirs pro-
sumptive would seem to show that man S
heirs, and not himself, are the true owners Of
his property. This lien has grown more and
more current each year; In fact, only
few months ago u number Of persons in Cen
trail New York obtained an order of court
against an old woman, whom they declared
insane, prohibiting her from living as extrav-
agantly as she was doing, because, when she
died, they expected to be her heirs.
Such seems to be the doctrine OF Lords
sons. who ask the court to prohibit their
father from spending his own earnings, be-
cause they hope TO come into possession of
them some day.
This feeling of ownership in al old mans
estate finally grows into settled conviction.
Tho man who accumulated the property
ceases to be regarded ~ its owner. and If he
dares to spend any Of 1t his conduct becomes
a fit subject for legal inquiry
The courts Of New York are rather hasty
In granting these inquiries asked for by dis
appointed heirs, anxious to sweep out Of their
way the owners of the property they expect to
inherit. The encouragement given by them
to this kind Of ltigation-the very worst
possible, because 1t exposes family skeletons
to the world and tend to desecrate and de-
stroy the most sacred family ties is shown
in the multitude Of these suits In The New
York courts. The papers Of that city are
filled each day with the most scandalous
and disgusting details, and mans chill
dren seek to bring disrepute upon his
name In hopes of obtaining some Of
his money by proving him of unsound mind
through his own vices. The public display Of
these private scandals cannot but disorganize
all family relations, cannot but have the most
injurious effects on society at large.

There is no medicine prescribed by physis

evidence of its success and superior virtue az
BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP for severe coughs,
colds settled on the breast, consumption, or
any disease of the throat and lungs. A prsof
of that fact is, that any person afflicted can
get sample bottle for 10 cents and try its

Mexico City Combate: We Will admit

Hence Mexico can gain 30 honor by con

Mexico cannot be involved in the question

these Gringo dogs good manners, that's all.
We thought the height OF Yankee insoi-nce

merely raised his whip, and the big dog at
Washington howled mercy. They appeal

and that is an appeal that is never made in
vain. We could afford to be maguanimous

years have covered before Mexico. We
overlook their indiscresion. We expected

ANDREW THOMPSo

A Massachusetts, genius, dwelling in ii
community Of spinsters, has been touched
by their loneliness and set himself to devise
something in the shape CT chair that may
coax them into luxury and self-indulgence
by supplying sense Of companionshlp.
The details of his plan have not yet been
made public, but enough is Known to in
dictate that he has hit upon the crowning
invention in the history of American up
holstery: His general design is to make a
chair that shall convey to its occupant the
delusive notion that she is sitting on a low
err knee, and the result is to be attained
by providing cushioned arms for soft en-
bracement, letting the sitters feet swing
free OF the floor and allow ing her to recline
with her head upon padded shoulder. The
inventor is confident that his own fortune
and the happiness of the superfluous women
of New England are assured by his inven-
ton, which he has named, with great pre-
priety, the "Old Msid's Chair
