senator Cameron says that he Is going
10 try TO get Congress to redeem the
trade dollar with the Bland dollar. Why
on earth there should have been SO
much trouble about doing this manifest
y proper thing we hardly understand
The president should have caused 1t to
be done when their currency was taken
from the trade dollars. They are worth
intrinsically more than the Bland dol
lars, and there are millions Of the latter
lying idle In the vaults of the treasury,
with which to make the exchange. 1t
would have been justice to the people
To have at once exchanged the trade
dollars, for most Of them have long since
parted at a discount with those they had.
The majority Of them are probably now
in the hands of those who purchased
them with intent to hold them for re-
demp.ion. But the exchange is a just
one, and is better made late than never,

Strange Meeting After Fifty-nve Years.


Fifty-fye years ago two maidon sisters
named Tinsley, DOW Mrs. Edelman and
Mrs. Mailer, separated, and during that
time neither saw or heard of each other
until few days ago, when they met in a
somewhat singular manner. II appears
that Miss Mullen, daughter Of Mrs.
Edelman, accidentally heard OF family
by the name of Tinsley residing at Coates
vile, and on inquiry of the postmaster
learned that family by that name did
live there. Mrs. Nailev being informed of
tho correspondence, without informing
them of hor intended visit, started for
Mannheim, and passing along the Lancaster
turnpike, stopped at house and inquired
for tho Mullen family, when to her surprise
she found her sister in the very house,
who, being an invalid, as soon as she heard
Mrs. Nailer's voice recognized her as her
sister. Mrs. Edelman is about 70 years of
age, and Mrs. Mailer about n years.
