When resumption was about be-
fng attempted in the United States,
it was the prophecy of the shallow
thinkers, and the financial lunatic
of every description, that there was
not only not gold enough in the
world, but that it would fee from
the United States. Yet but two
years and three months have elapsed
since resumption was effected, and
the amount of god in the United
States treasury, has reached such
colossal figures, that it is without a
parallel in the history Of the world
\ Washington correspondent says:
A treasury official remarked that
there is now massed in the vaults Of
the department larger amount Of
gold than was ever known to be in
one place in the history of modern
times, at least, and probably more
than could be authenticated as exist
ing in single treasury at any time
before in the world There is now
about S173, 100000 of gold coin and
bullion exclusive of sum S5O,000,-
600 of silver, while the bank of
England has only about $4,000, 0G0
OF gold. What is more singular is
that it stays in the vaults no matter
~ ~ A------ = r. r
paid out it returns.
This evidence of confidence should
never be forgotten. So long as the
government acts truly and faithfully
with its creditors and insists upon
paying them in honest money. dis
carding the tender Of mere paper as
quittance Of the debt, so long will
our treasury be the receptacle of the
Surplus gold Of the country, A bad
financial policy would soon drive
the gold out Of the treasury and the
country; the people know this, and
so they will hold fast to the benef-
cial financial policy which has been
pursued by republican administra-
ton in the face of the fercest de-
nunciation and endeavors to destroy
the public credit by an issue of hun
dreds Of millions Of legal tender
notes, under the specious plea that
these notes are as good as gold and
silver; and that is true, so long as
they are redeemable therein, and no
longer.

Promise Of q New South,

Under this head, the New Orlean
lines, one of the leading Democrat,
papers in the South, says:
Z" 1t is evident to every unparalleled
observer that a great change is taking
place in the sentiments of the people OF
the South. The bitterness, prejudice
and hostility to the changes wrought by
the war, which we're SO marked q few
years ago, are disappearing. There is
nova very noticeable and rapidly in.
creasing disposition to accept the situa.
ton us it is, and on this basis to build a
new South which shall surpass in wealth,
glory and greatness the old South. The
wealth and intelligence of tho South,
and the men who control the politics
and the business Of the South, are in the
Democratic party. There are, howev-
err, two elements in that party. They
are The liberal and progressive element
and the bourbon element. Indeed, un-
til very lately, the liberal and progress
we element was so greatly in the minor
ty that its influence was hardly appre-
liable. The indications are that before
mother national political campaign
pens, this element will control the po-
itical and material affairs of the South"

a joint resolution was introduced in
Congress few days since, proposing an
amendment to the Constitution, which
prohibits, after 1900, the manufactur,
and sale anywhere within the United
States of distilled alcoholic and intoxi
eating liquors, or any intoxicating
liquors mixed or adultcrated with ar.
dent spirits, or with any poison what
ever, except for medicinal, mechanical,
chemical, and scientific purposes. 1t
also prohibits the expectation and I'M
portation of such liquors, and their
transportation through any part Of the
United States, except for the purposes
enumerated. During the consideration
of the question Senator Thurman made
the following remarks: He would
vote square for liquor license, for he had
seen the effects Of prohibition. Ohio
passed prohibitory law in 1851, and
the consequence was that there had been
at least two drinking-places in the State,
for one existing when the prohibition
law was made. He believed that
wherever the prohibitory policy was
adopted its effect upon public morals
and public health would be injurious.

, which magnifcs trifling things but can
not receive great ones.
How narrow our souls become whel
t absorbed in any present good or i'll ]

Y makes them great.
Spite is a little word, but it repre-
! sents as strong tumble Of feelings AM
: compound of discord as any possible IL
!, the language.
4 The roses of pleasure seldom las
long enough to adorn the brow of hin
that plucks them, and they are the onl.
: roses which do not retain their sweet
Nc ness after they have lost their beauty.
e In the mind of God there are but tw
v women who can be concerned in tn
:, life of each man for his good-hi
mother and the mother of his children
!. Outside of these two legitimate loves
It away from these two legitimate loves
l. away from these two sacred beings
# there are only pain agitations, sorrow
~, full and ridiculous illusions.
