No BETTER evidence of the fact that
President elect Cleveland ia national and
not q sectional President, and is so consid-
cred, could be afforded than the other TACT
that his election either has baen, Is belng'
or will be, celebrated in the most demon
strable manner from one extremity OF the
country to the other and throughout Its en-
tire limits. Since 1856 the celebration OF
the election of Presidents has been comm
ed to one section of the Union ouly; nor
was it at all too we'll marked there. But
now it is just the reverse, for not only eve
ry city, but every town, village and hamlet
in the country has been or will be painted
red" by patriotic citizens, grat'ted and en-
thusiastic at the restoration of the Union IN
fact as In name, and at the safe deliverance
from the dangers and disgraces incident to
q Blaine administration.

father imagined that his only son, Young
man Of twenty, was going into consump.
ton. A doctor was consulted and he adj !.
vised that the son be put through a
course Of gymnastic training. The
young man seemed to like the idea, and
for two or three months he was in da;lv
attendance at 2 gymnasium. Then he
began to grow careless, and finally quit
1t altogether. The father thought he
could see signs of failing health again,
and to induce his son to 60 back to rings,
bars and gloves once more, he fitted up
private gymnasium in the barn and began
course of exercise himself. The other
morning ne remembered that he used to
be boxer in his younger days, and he
remarked that he'd give the son few
lessons. He was balancing himself on
his heel and feeling out with both hands
when something hit him, and half min.
ute afterwards he dimly realized that
some one was bending over him and say.

THE Uses OF SILVER DOLLARS.
Is. CALL

i
rta sssf ~ Is. F. CALL
The demand Of the people that tn,
Treasury Department shall continue t.
coin silver dollars is based mainly upor
discrimination that the volume of real
money shall not be reduced 1t does mol
follow, as some Of our astute Eastern
contemporaries assume, that the advo.
Gates OF silver coinage must at all times
be anxious to receive the silver dollars
themselves in payment Of debt. The
fact established that gold and silver con.
stitnte the real money of the country.
the convenience Of business requires that
coin q both metals shall be represented
by notes of some form which shall be
good TOR the coin when presented. But
there is no reason why coin should not
take the place Of paper notes of small de-
nominations. Silver coin might take the
place Of notes of less than five dollars.
while gold might be used in sums Of less
than twenty, or perhaps twenty-five dol.
lars. Tho advantage Of this substitution
OF coin for paper would be to retain a
larger amount OF real money in the hands
OF the people. When paper notes Of
small denomination circulate, the coin
they represent is,supposed to be in some
public depository, and subject to the
fluctuations Of the money market. II .
pane ensaes, the coin is often not attain.
able. Holders Of small billa are thus
subjected to heavy losses and to the in.
convenience of not knowing whether their
paper money is current or not. II they
have real moneyr-the thing itself, not
the promise of the thing-there will be
no loss and no anxiety. The statement
is now made that several New York
banks have notified Treasurer Wyman
that in, case they cannot receive United
States one and two dollar notes in ex.
change for national bank notes sent In
Tor redemption, they win accept standard
SILVER dollars. This movement has al.
ready put some standard silver dollars in
circulation, and if it is continued good
many millions Of real money will 60 into
the hands Of the people in place Of the
misrepresentation Of money.
