The Ways of Presidents.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-JOurnal, in reviewing some OF
the peculiar characteristics of Presi-
dents, says:
"When an oi1ice-hunter visited
Hayes, he always came away delighted, ,
because he had been told that he was
going to have the place he wanted ;
with Garfield the office hunter was
told that his claim should have full and
early consideration, and was also
pleased with Arthur, the Ot1ice-hunter
does not know whether to he pleased
or not. lie certainly is rather pleased
than otherwise, but after he gets away
from the President and thinks over
what has been said to him, he cannot
for his life tell why he should be pleas
ed with the result of the interview. A
veteran campaigner after office, who
has had experience with all the Presi-
dents named, today gave the above
outline. When asked for particulars
us to how Arthur had treated him (he
was Just from the audience chamber)
the old campaigner said: stated
what / wanted and why | thought l
should have it, The President stood
up and stood up; he asked ME - string
of questions; he then cordially put his
hand on my shoulder, and said: Why
you seem To lie very good fellow, we
must look into this and before /
knew it, the old campaigner added,
was out of the room without re-
ceiving any other reason to say that l
did not come out entirely voluntarily"

GEN. GEORGE w. MORGAN, of Mt.
Vernon, in an interview with report
er of the Enquirer published in that
paper of last Tuesday, sounds the key
note Of the coming State campaign, as
he views the matter. 1t IS briefly this:
"All our circulating medium should
be a legal tender" rhe time he says
is prOpitiOus for the renewal of the le-
gal tender doctrine, iHasmuch as the
charters of the National Banks are
commencing to expire, and the qu's
tion of their recharter must soon be
determined by Congress. As matter
of political wisdom, we should not at
tempt to prevent the recharter of the
National Banks, but to SO modify their
charters rs to require the substitution
of legal tender paper for the National
Bank promises to pay.
| He does not believe that n measure
Of this kind could be carried through
a National Convention, but he has an-
other plan for its accomplishment
namely: Leave the question to the
congressional districts. Let the State
convention declare in favor of the
substitution of legal tender notes foi
those of national bank notes, and OF
this issue go before the people, and the
Democracy can carry the State as AL
len did in 1872, on the same issue
With the prestige of n victory i'm Ohio
the National Convention on a platform
of reform and economy, can nominate
candidate for President that vii
sweep the country.
The General says that one of ou
greatest dangers is in a disposition tina
is said to exist among our SOutherl
friends, or some of them, to re-estab
lish the State banking system, and
attempted it would simply bury u
throughout the whole North and West

cratic parity GAINESVILLE Signal.

NEW YORK, February 5.-The raw
ages of smallpox in this city continued
during the past week with unabated
vigor, though the number of cases re-
ported to the health department was
slightly smaller than for the week pre-
viOus. In business circles there was a
good deal more said about the spread
of this disease, and some merchants
feared that the effect of the epidemic
upon the spring trade would prove
very depressing. The smallpox hos
pital on Blackwell's Island is now
crowded with patients, and it is al
ready in contemplation to build sheds
on the land adjoining the hospital to
meet the present de 3 and there for in
creased accommodation. Many of the
cases naturally are very bad ones. Five
cases were reported today.

Railroad lIOnOpOlies.

The people in many sections are be-
coming seriously alarmed at the pro-
gress of the great railroad monopolists
of the country. Six men in California,
who twelve years ago in the aggregate
did not own over $I50,000, now control
the entire system Of railroads on the
Pacific slope, bonded and stocked for
$IS7 ,OCO,O 900. Jay Gould, who fifteen
years ago was almost bankrupt, today
controls over eleven thousand miles of
railroad bonded and stocked for three
hundred and fifty millions. The Amer
lean railway mOnarchs WELD greater
power and exercise it more arbitrarily
than any King or Emperor in all Eu-
rope. If this power goes unchecked
another decade, the great body of
American people will be reduced to
abject vassalage, and their government
instead of being for the people, by the
people, will be for the monopolies by
the corporation kings.

sub.Treasury Gold wagon,

The little dingy-looking "gcld.
wagon" which has been used for
twelve years past to carry the money
received for duties from the custom
house to the sub treasury has been re.
tired from service.
Sometimes 1t made as many as a
dozen trips daily, carrying as much as
$4,000 in glittering gold coin each
time. Then money was usually put
up i'm bags Of $4,000 each, which
were then placed in heavy eakea
boxes with massive iron-rod handles.
These boxes were then put into tho
wagon box, and lid with clamps of
iron were locked down over IL.
The wagon was then pushed like n
haud-cart by two custom house por-
ters, accompanied by an armed watch
man, whose duty il is to see that the
load of treasure was net intorfered
with by thieves.
The little used-up wagon has car
risd in its time probably not less than
S500,00O, ,O00,Or abont 4, 500 tons weight
in gold, and the dead weight and
strain Of the precious freight has rem
dered il quite rickety aud unsafe.
In its place new wagon has been
purchased, with solid wheels girtsd
with iron tires half an inch thick, and
marked with the sovereign letters
"U. S" in front.

Fall of a Bridge.

RICHMOND, February A span of
Mayo's bridge across the James river
gave way this afternoon, .precipitating
the Manchester stage, filled with pas
ssngers, into the river. Several We're
hurt, but none fatally. All were res
cued by boats from the shore.
AS the stage was crossing the bridge
coming d Richmond, the second span
of the structure suddenly gave way,
carrying with it the stage and its load
of passengers. The whole span, nearly
seventy-five feet in length, broke away
from two granite pillars upon which it
rested as clearly as if each end had
been sawn through, and sank with
crash to the rocky bed of the river be-
meath, distance of nearly thirty feet:
Fortunately, the falling span did not
tilt, and the stage remained upon it i'll
an upright position until the bottom
was reached, when the vehicle over
turned and the horses were thrown
into the water and became entangled
in the iron work of the bridge, their
exertions dragging the stage into the
river. The male passengers succeeded
in getting out through the broken side
of the stage on the bridge span, which
remained in between the pillars, hav.
ing struck on the rocky bottom of the
river and become fixed. They then
quickly drew the females out, and all
remained on the ehalfsubmerged debris
until rescued.

policy is in the Standard Mutual Aid

field is over so years old, her insurer
probably rightly calculated that he
would not have to pay many assess
ments before he could realize on his

"THE world is governed too much, +"
and as a rule governments have too
much power, usurping power from the
people and robbing them of their in
alienable rights in order to build up
an aristocracy or bestOw privileges
(monopoiies) on a favored few. Hence
the object should be TO diminish the
power of Government, reduce the
number and authority of Of1icehOlders,
and abolish, as far as possible, inter
ference in the private affairs of the
people. Governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and the business of government
is to manage public affairs with a view
to secure justice and equal rights to all.
All, then, should be equally protected
by gOvernment-nO one more than an
other; for if one gets more than his
share, others get less and the aim of a
just government should be to estab-
lish justice and secure the blessings OF
liberty.-[Stark County Democrat.

Decline of Irish Industries.


The revival OF Irish manufacturing
industries, largely destroyed by hos
tile legislation, is much agitated. The
statistics of the decline are given as
follOws:
In 1900 there were in Dublin .,
master wooden manufacturers and 4.
91S hands; in 1910, II masters and 6O2
hands, 30 master W woolcombers and 23U
hands; in 1874, 5 masters and sixty
six hands.
Th, carpet manufacturers in 1909
were Ii masters and 72O hands; i'll
1871, master.
The blanket manufacturers in Kill
kenny in 1900 were 81 masters and
5000 hands; in 1872, ~ masters and
925 hands.
The broad silk loom weavers in
Dublin in 1900 at work we've $500
| aud in 1910, 250.
The callco looms in Balbriggan in
1893 in full work were 2,CGO; and in
ISL, 226.
The flannel looms i'm the County OF
! Wicklow in 1900 were 1,CJ0; in 1871,
not one.
The case of the Cork braid weavers,
worsted weavers, linen check wea' .
ers, was even worse. These industries
employed thousands of hands up to
1920; now there is nothing left but a
| few wheeZy hand looms near ShandOn
Church and an almost extinct colony
of calico weavers a Clonakilty.
The linen trade once thrOve in

The Iron monopoItsts,

1t seems the iron interests are get
ting into few and fewer hands-at the
South more rapidly even than at the
North. AT st. Louis the iron cOmpa-
nies have united in one great syndi-
cate so as to control the market. At
other points the same process is going
on. In Tennessee the Southern State
Works, with a capital of 81 800, 600,
owned Ivy a number of English capital
lists, have sold out to the Tennessee
company. The latter now has "a cap
ital Of - ,OOO,0 900, is the owner of three
large blast furnaces already built, of
SO, ,OOO acres of mineral lands, and vari-
Gus saw mills, brick works, etc. 1t
will increase its output To IO0, 900 tons
annually. In Alabama a similar COM
bination will take place, with six fur
naces and capital of ten milIioBs,
and have a capacity of 150,00 tons an
puaIIy. When capital thus combines
1sbOr and business are apt to be victim
Ized. Capital combi ies-labor does

Has the silver Law Been Violated
There is reafon to think that the
Silver Dollar law has at different times
beed violated by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and that the minimum oi
silver required by law to be purchased
and coined each month has not been
purchased and coined. Judge Belford
of Colorado, has introduced a resolu'
ton calling on +he Secretary of the
Treasury for information as to the
number of ounces purchased and coin
ed each month since the law was
passed. When the treasury answers
this resolution it will be readily seen
whether the law was violated. 1t if
believed that for several months in the
spring of 1878 a smaller amount OF sill
yer bullion was purchased than the
law commanded.
