openly express their contempt and hatred OF

and he was educated IN the common

She familiarized herself with the
name of every member, and, as far as
possible, with a brief sketch of the

transfer OF III unexpected amount of
foreign capital to this country In

been followed by the placing Of the

Philadelphia. This is the first for
eign loan ever offered in Philadel-
phia, and such an event would have
been deemed impossible year or
two ago. We have been so accus-
toned to going to Great Britain to
borrow, that the idea OF lending to

borrow abroad seems at first prepos-

AN exchange says: There are some
few things that have been overlooked
by the members of the Pennsylvania
Legislature in the introduction of bills
during the present session. This over
sight has not been great, and the range
OF subjects that bill could be framed
on has been well covered. But a chap
in the Missouri Legislature has got a
bill under way worthy of consideration.
1t is in the interest of the down trodden
laboring man. Itprovides that black
smith shall have lien upon a horse
shod by him until the bill is paid. This
is as it should be. Heretofore the horse
has had lean ON the shoer, which is
clearly not only putting the laboring
man on a level with the brute, but uu-
der the brute and the time has come
when there should be a reversal of the
relations between the horse and the
blacksmith In Pennsylvania as well as
in Missouri. Score one for Missouri
