Thrift is an old-fashioned, homely

health in it. It builds homes. 1t

Hon. Luke P. Poland comes to the
defense of the much-abused trade
dollar, or betrayed dollar, as Puck
calls it. Judge Poland says: ''These
coins were issued by the government
in the exercise of its constitutional
power and prerogative to coin
money. On their face they pro-
claimed this and bore all the insignia
of sovereign authority. To refuse
now to recognize them as coin of the
realm, and treat them in the hands
of the people as so much unconed
bullion, seem to me a gross and
palpable fraud. They should be
placed on par with other legal dol
lars, by being declared legal tender,
or redeemed OF recoined. In some
form they should be made good TO
the holders by the government, and
shall cheerfully and earnestly con-
tribute to that end"
We believe Judge Poland is right.
This light weight coin was made by
the government and it is an abuse
and fraud to ''go back on it.
The scheming silver men who con-
trolled the great silver mines of the
country, leagued with certain green
back fanatics, deemed it a smart
thing to coin up lot of silver fol
the Pacific coast trade, and with
which they might do a honorable
business with China. 1t was a lie
and cheat, inasmuch as it purport
ed to be dollar while it was really
worth only from so to 50 cents. This
dishonest trick falls back on tn,
holders of this fraudulent coin anC
unless government honestly comes t.
the rescue somebody is being cheated
Our opinion always has been tina
the government should issue no silye
coin not intrinsically worth what i
purports to be by the gold standard
The legal tender dollar is anothe
fraud, as it is called a dollar, and
worth, really, less than 50 cents
Some event, rebellion, revolution, Q
other trouble, may make this col

A parade and review of the Grand

A parade and review of the Grand
Army of the Republic National En-
campment took place at Denver. All
the principal streets were spanned
with numerous arches of bunting and
evergreens, to which were appended
the badges of the different army
corps, with the names of the princi-
pal battles in which they took part.
From every window and housetop
were floating thousands of smaller
flags and signs of welcome, pictures
of Washington, Lincoln and Garfield
together with such inscriptions as
"Welcome to the Brave" Welcome
to Colorado" Two of the principal
decorations in the city were large
arches over Curtis street. One,
near the grand opera house, was
surmounted by picture of Grant
and Sheridan on horseback, and
draped in evergreens, on one side of
which were the famous words, ssWe
will fight it out on this line if it takes
all summer" and on the other, "For-
ward, guide right" The large ever
green columns bore the names of the
principal battles of the war. Anoth-
er arch in front of headquarters was
also covered with evergreens, one
side being inscribed with the words.
"Welcome, comrades and the 9TH
er with Fraternity, charity and 10y

Reports from business and COM
mercial centers indicate a general i'm
provement in the situation. The
harvest of winter wheat is nearly Sc
cured, in good condition, and is larg-
er than was at first estimated-in
fact, will be as large as the best crop
with two notable exceptions that is,
if the spring wheat turns out as well
as now seems probable. The reports
from the extreme Northwest are now
favorable for large crop on account
of the recent lains. The hay crop is
unprecedented and is being secured
in a generally good order. The
effect of such an outlook upon mer-
camille affairs is already apparent in
a decided improvement in the whole
sale trade. The dry goods trade,
the quickest to feel q generally fav-
oring condition, is showing unmis-
taxable signs of new life. At least,
such is the reports of the commercial
press. The large sales of wool dur
ing the past week is a hopeful indi-
cation, showing that the manufacture
ers generally see prospect of get
ting rid of their surplus stocks. AS
yet there has been no improvement
in prices, but with trade starting up
so early, an advance in the price OF
goods now unusually low will be
quite sure to follow. Under these
conditions, there is every reason tc
believe that the labor of the country
will find employment, which is most
important factor.-Boston Journal.

the defendant had been convicted,
and when the fact of his ownership
could no longer injure him, he had
the impudence to claim the valise as
his property. A jury must use their
Judgment in determining whether or
not witness is to be believed
"The Judge has only expressed a
fact that is as clear as the day to
every practitioner in the courts,
said an old criminal lawyer who had
heard the charge. "The amount of
untruth unconsciously told or of down.
right perjury committed on the wit
ness-stand is frightful. A lawyer, as
a rule, in the criminal courts particu-
larly, proceeds on the assumption
that every witness against him is
withholding something, unwittingly
telling what is untrue, OF is wilfully
lying. No one is surprised or moved
any more by seeing witness tangled
in a lie. Perhaps three-fourths of
the persons tried in the criminal
courts commit unblushing perjury
when they take the stand in their own
defence. The bench and bar, [ am
afraid, rather look for that as the Or
binary thing. The man who swore
that he had never seen the valise,
and afterwards claimed it as his
property, is only type. Many peo-
pie who would not steal or cheat don't
hesitate to twist the truth when under
oath. I don't speak now of those
who are so agitated by their feelings
or regard for their interests that they
perhaps unconsciously prevaricate.
They make up another class. Per-
haps if more care were taken to I'M
press witnesses with the Importance
of telling the exact truth, and if court
officers would administer oaths in a
BETTING manner, and not run them
off like an auctioneer knocking down
an old stove, we should have less
falsehood on the witness-stand. Most
of all, clear cases of perjury ought to
be visited with swift and severe pun
ishment." -NeaU York Observer.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. InaSoL1D
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case ~ v..r
which saves the WASTE of need & q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDTTY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

The Springfield Republican says
the people of Vermont are waking
up to to the fact that their state is
only moderately attractive to summer
visitors when it might be made largely
so. Some people believe that except
in few centers of manufacturing
and quarrying, Vermont is destined
to be given over wholly to farming
and a summer resort for people of
less favored localities. However this
may be-. there is no doubt she has
opportunities for gaining to herself
great fame and wealth as a summer
resort. The Switzerland of America
she has everything to be desired in
scenery, with a pure bracing atmos-
phere, and all within easy reach of
the great business centers of the
East. She might easily double her
population during the summer
months.
