There is nothing better Tor farmer or out
door man than good rubber boot, and nothing
so exasperating as bad one. Composition
among manufacturers has lod to such a choal =
ening of quality that until lately it was a
hard thing to find rubber boot really worth
the money asked for it. The Candee Rub err
Co., of New Haven, Ct, however, has lately
put on the market a boot designed to meet
the call for a real good, substantial article,
and to denote its freedom from adulteratiye
mixtures it is called the "95 Per Cent. Ster-
ling Boot" 1t is made, on honor, as puro as
can BIO made, and is warranted three months.
By an ingenious continuance space is pro-
vided at tho top of the leg for recording tso
date of the sale, by punching holes in the
spaces provided-like a railroad ticket SO
that there may be no trouble about the
warrant. The upper and leg of the "95 -
boots are doubled, and the soles are one-hali
inch thick, of solid rubber from toe to heel.
Ordinary rubber boots barely quarter Of
an inch thick in the thickest part and only
one eighth at the shank. descriptive cir

direct to the company; or the "95" Boots

A Conductors Romance.

The Chicago Daily Neo0s publishes al
interesting little romance in the prosaC
life of Chicago street car conductor
John o Brien, q handsome young con.
ductor on the Ogden Avenue line, had
among his daily passengers Miss Fannie
Farlir, the adopted daughter of L. P
Chaee, beautiful and accomplished
young lady of twenty-five years, heir tc
a considerable property in Minneapolis
attending Scammon High School. He
fell in love with her, and to the most
casual observer it was apparent his affec-
lions were reciprocated. His suit was
opposed by the Chase family, whose
social position is more exalted than
CBrieI's. He visited her clandestinely
She always waited for his car, would
ride out OF her way with him, and when
his run for the day was ended they
would have a little promenade together
in spite of M. Chase's objections.
Chase went to Superintendent Lake OF
the West Side Railway Company and had
OBrien suspended by reporting that he
was passing Miss Farlin and other girls
free on his car. O'Brien told Lake
that he passed no one free, but paid Miss
Farlin's fare and meant to marry her.
Mr. Lake encouraged him, and said if
he succeeded he should have his car
again. The Chases being in the coun-
try on Monday evening, O'Brien took
Miss Farlin to Father Cashman's church
and they were married. Now he has
his car again, and all his brother con-
ductors are congratulating him. 1t is
believed that the Chases will gracefully
accept the situation when they return to
the city.

L.RA rNcANrArA.
BY THEODORE TILToN.

Within castle haunted,
As castles were of old,
There hung harp enchanted,
And on Its rim OF gold
This legend was enscrolled:
"Whatever bard would win me
Must strike and wake within me,
BY one supreme endeavor,
A chord that sounds forever"
Three bards of Tyre and viol,
BY mandate Of the king,
Were hidden to trial
To find the magic string
II there were such thing),
Then, after much essaying
OF tuning, came the playing;
And lords and ladies splendid
Watched as those bards contended.
The first-a minstrel hoary,
Who many rhyme had spun
Sang loud of war and glory
OF battles fought and won;
But when his song was done,
Although the bard was Landed,
And clapping hands applauded,
Yet, spite of the laudation,
The harp ceased its vibration.
The second changed the measure
And turned from FIRE and sword
To sing song of pleasure
The wfne-cup and the board
Till, at the wit, all reared.
And the high hall resounded
With merriment unbounded!
The harp loud as the laughter
Grew hushed At that. soon after.
The third, In lovers fashion,
And with his soul on fire,
Then sang Of loves pure passion
The heart and its desired
And, as he smote the wire,
The listeners, gathering round him,
Caught up wreath and crowned him.
The crown-hath faded neverI
The harp-resounds foreverl

MR. N'CULLOCU on SILVER.

| The letter of ex-SecretaTy McCulloch on the
Silver question, which is printed to-day,
deserves the general attention which ii will
undoubtedly receive. 1t is 20 Mr.. McCulloch's
credit that ever since he was first entrusted
with the charge of the National finances he
has steadily pursued q consistent and honor
able course which commends itself to-day to
the sound Judgment Of the best men Of all
parties. His recommendations in respect to
silver coinage are entitled to the moro con-
sideration because the subject is one which he
has frequently treated with decided ability,
and because his views are not those of the
narrow or uncompromising -metallists.
He urges that an increased circulation Of
silver throu ghout the Union can be secured,
not by law compelling the National banks
to keep their reserves in coin, because in
that case they would supply themselves with
| gold. but by a retirement of the small notes
| of the Government and of the banks.
This recommendation is entirely in accord
with the views which THE TRIBUNE has con-
stanty urged for some years past, and there
is probably not financer Of experience. nor
n capable student of political economy, in this
or any other country, who does not the
absolute impossibility Of forcing coins into
circulation so long as the channels Of currency
are choked with superabundance OF small
| notes. 1t has been pointed out repeatedly
that the circulation of such notes in this coun-
| try is altogether greater than In any other
| civilized nation. Tables published in the re-
| port of Controller Knox show that France
has in circulation of notes smaller than
$50 each, three hundred and seventy mine
| millions less than this country; that
| Germany has in circulation of notes less
| than $25, five hundred and twenty-six millions
less than this country while the Bank of
England issues no notes smaller than $25
| each By retiring the notes of denominations
of less than $40 each. as Secretary McCulloch
suggests, the United States would make room for
two hundred and four millions of coin. on the
supposition that there is use for either notes
or coin of the denominations now in circula-
ton; while France, by similar change,
would make room for barely two millions OF
coin ia addition to that which is now in cir
culation, and Germany wond make room
for only $4,000 more of coin. So long
AZ the money in use for retail dealings
and small payments is fully supplied by the
excessive issue of legal-tender notes, no rea-
sonng mind can expect that the people will be
brought to use coin III any considerable
amount This difficulty is the greater in this
country because, on account of the compare
tive Inconvenience of carrying metallic cur
rcncy, the habits of the people have for sew
eral years been strongly ID favor of the use
of paper in preference.
Mr.. McCuloch offers many valuable sugges-
tons in support of this view. and there ought
20 be in Congress- especially at this time,
enough OF practical sense to give weight to
his recommendations.

GOING BEHIND THE RETURNS.

1t is stated that when the Board of Canvas
sers assembled the other day at Albany to
make the official count and declaration OF the
| votes, Mr. Potter. being consulted as to their
right to go behind the returns to correct
| irregularities, etc., replied that in his opinion
they bad no such authority. If Mr.. Potter
did this, knowing that the rule of action
which he advised would deprive him of his
only chance of obtaining the Lieutenant Gov
ernorship his behavior was most honorable.
ms indeed every body who knows him would
expect it to he under all circumstances. We
wish his party associates were equally nigh
minded and consistent. They have 4
dozen different opinions respecting the au-
thority OF State canyassers to canvass
any thing, and are governed in all cases merely
by the special exigencies OF the situation. In
Maine, for example, at the present moment
they seem to be gong behind the returns to
such IN extent that there is every prospect of
their clphering away a large Republican ma
ioIity of the Legislature. and inangarating a
Democratic State administration against the
clearly expressed desire of the voters.
And in the National campaign of 1876 they
maintained in every dorbtful State whatever
doctrine an inspection of the returns showed
them to be convenient. La at least one State
they held two contradictory theories of the
rights of canyassers at the same time.
In Sonth Carolina, for example. the face
of the returns showed the election OF the
Democratic State ticket, and the election of
the Democratic electoral ticket was claimed
also by considerable majority. 1t was the
policy of the Democratic leaders. therefore, TO
insist that the canvassers had no judicial
powers" but were bound to take the figures
Just as they stood in the county returns, and
declare the result of the tabulation. General
(now Senator) Gordon, who was managing their
case at Columbia, teleg1aphed to Manton
Marble at Tallahassee to "have Democratic
"attorneys" In Florida "take ground that any
"statute comforting judicial powers on State
I" Board is unconstitutional" That, be added,
was the line the party had taken in
South Carolina; and he had teegrapbed
the same advice to Ncw-Orlcans. Mar
bic answered: Thanks; yes, will use
"J txIsd;eHt." But in Florida il proved
not TO be expedient. The interest OF
the party required that the Board should have
authority TO go behind the returns. There
were only three members on the Canvassng
Board one was "A Democrat; the agents oil
Mr.. Tiiden expected 10 buy another; the ma
jority thus secured could not give the State to
the Democracy unless they assumed the power
TO "pHrge returns" So The theory which
General Gordon upheld at Columbia was re-
pudiated by Marble and Wool.oy at ITALIA
hassee. la Louisiana, on the other hand, by
enormous frauds and uuldcrous violence,
the Democrats had obtained on apparent
majority. There, cODscqu' ntly, they wanted
the face of the returns 10 stand. New-Orleans
thus contradicted Tallahassee. just as ITALIA
hassee contradicted Columbia.
But this Was not all. When Smith Weed
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1879-12-16

reached Columbia, he found ont mat iiiheh
had not nearly so many votes as had been re-
portcd. and that the Constitutional theory
which General Gordon was Arguing IN the
State Supreme Court. while II would save tue
Goyernorship for Hampton, would give the
electoral votes 10 HAYES. lie expected to my
the Board. but if il could not go
"behind the returns what would he
the use Weed. therefore, caused the
Democratic counsel suddenly TO change
front in court and ask for a writ com
mandinc the Board to exercise ihe Judicia'
functions which they had just declared con-
,rary to the Consultation. Yet as a genuine
"purgingn of the returns would defeat not
only Tilden but Hampton too, he proposed
that the Board should be ordered to purge
them only a little. Cautious and moderate
man, He would direct the writ rs the sports
man aimed his gun, so MS ito Int IL IL was
..deer. but TO miss If it was n calf"
We trust we shall hear no more about the
staunch adherence of the Democratic party to
fundamental principles in relation to the pow
ers of Returning Boards. They profess two
contradictory doctrines this year. and they
professed three in 1876. Whenever the occa-
sion arises they will enlarge their repertory
still further; and we have no doubt that MI.
Weeds Great Protean Act will he repeated
some day TO the delight of the entire party.
