The PACIFIC state, have long b.e,

The Pacific states have long been at
enmity with the small coin, but hard
times have made an improvement.
Formerly everything was sold by tie
bits worth. A bit was supposed to
mean twelve and half cents. You
bought bits worth of your grocer and
handed him quarter. He gave you ten
rents. If you frequently only paid him
the dime he probably spoke to you
about It. Two bits are quarter OF a
dollar. II was cheapest 10 bny two bits
or four bits worth of anything. Hard
times brought the five cent piece. A
child who wanted cents worth of pea.
nuts was put 10 great distress. The Pa
cific slope is rapidly approaching the
time when a rch man will find cents
in his vest pocket

The definition of courtesy of the
senate" rs interpreted by the action of
Senator Conkling, ais the submission of
the president" But the president would
not have it that way. The courtesy"
specified should he made manifest by a
full recognition of the constitutional

president has taken the pains to anOint
the eyes of Senator ConklIng and his
special friends that they may "come see

Although some of the underground
telegraph wires In Germany have been
in use for five years, they have cost moth

From being an open, merry sort of a
man, one of his visiting acquaintance
says that President Garfield has sudden
ly become silent and reserved, except
ing upon matters entirely disconnected
with politics. This, we should say, is
simple prudence. Every man and wo-
man who visits him is apt to attempt to
consrue his language to suit themselves,
and report their own construction. By
the time the press gets hold of it, the
president Is in doubt whether he knows
what he did say.
