BLooMISGToN, ILL.,, Aug. H. During
the State Prohibition convention in this
city, the Hon. John T. Finch, one of
the greatest Of the wc-tcrn temperance
advocates, threw "a terrible bombshell
at Lieutenant Governor Hamilton Of
this city, who is looming up big as a
Republican candidate for the United
States Senate. Finch made the state
ment that Hamilton. while the Illinois
Legislature was in session last winter,
in conversation with the Rev. James A I.
Reed, pastor of the First PresbYterian
church. said he would rather see a grog
shop at every other door than sec the
Republican party defeated. This was q
most sickening dose for Hamilton and
his friends to swallow, and the state
ment created ute a furorc in the con
yention. 1t was thought that the effect
would be to switch Hamilton of the
track as an aspirant for David Davis
seat in the Senate. but his friends were
made most happy by the publication in
the Evening Leader this afternoon of a
telegram from Mr. Read himself. who
is summering in Muskegon, Mich. the
purport of which was to brand Mr.
Finch as liar, the reverend gentleman
denying in toto the statement made bv
Finch in the Bloomington convention.

How Gold Is HOarded.

An additional, and by no means ade-
quately appreciated, cause of the strin-
gency of money is the growth of the
passion for boarding gold among the
lower classes with the increase of pros
perity. Our immense foreign pOpula-
ton does not crave half as much for
paper money as it does for gold. Some
of them-the Italians, the Austrians,
for instance-had some sad experiences
with paper money at home. They don't
know anything about the sohdity of
greenbacks, bank notes, bonds, and
savings banks. What they are anxious
to get is q gold piece, and the moment
they get it they hide it. Nothing but
the opportunity of buying at bargain
land, cattle, or house, ever brings these
gold pieces out again. 1t has been cal
culated that some S200,000,000 have
thus been abstracted from the circulation
during the last three years of growing
prosperity throughout the continent.
Women represent a very important
factor in this hording process. A woman
of almost any European nationality pre-
fers a gold coin to q piece of clothing, a
piece of furniture, or anything else-ex-
cept, possibly, a piece of lewelry. An
old Frenchman told me the other day
that he avoids ever going home with a
gold piece in his pocket, for he is sure
that his wife would steal it at night and
try to persuade him next morning that
the coin must have rolled out of his
pocket. "Yet she is very honest
woman" added he. "She would never
touch the bank notes, but her passion
for boarding gold is invincible. 1 don't
mind it, though. for she will give it all
back if a rainy day cOmes.-Neio York
