At convention of the Grecnbackers
of Batter county, Kentucky, held at
Morgantown, a few days ago, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
ReSolred, /. We congratulate the
country upon the increased interest in
the financial questions and the great
advancement made in regard to what
constitutes money. We still rejoice
that the Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that our monetary
views are constitutional, and we regret
that President Cleveland has bestowed
the highest office in his gift upon the
Senator (Bayard) who made haste to
offer an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States to overthrow said
decision.
9. We condemn alike the late mes
sages of ex-President Arthur and the
recent letter of President Cleveland
(Which is but rehash of the message)
urging the suspension of silver coinage
II their views prevail, the result will
be to make the rich richer and the
poor poorer, whether so intended or
not.
8. We demand that the coinage of
the 412! grain silver dollars be made
free the same as gold coinages, and if it
be true that there is n surplus of silver
dollars in the vaults of the Treasury, as
Messrs. Arthur and Cleveland say, we
demand that they be applied to the
payment of the bonded debt of the ma
ton and thus stop the interest that is
eating up the substance of the peo-
pie.
: 4. That all currency that is allowed
by law to circulate as money should be
legal tender for debt.
5. That the treasury note, commonly
called greenback, is the best currency
we ever had, and we are opposed to It's
retirement under any pretext whatey-

When you go into IN American hotel, you
know, boy takes your baggage at the door, the
clerk embraces you at the counter, brushes
whisk, and attendants dance around you till it
seems as If the whole establishment had been
eagerly expecting you for week.
Now, when you go into an English hotel it is
different
You tug and twist, and shoulderheave at the
door awhile, until at last you worry it open
and drag yourself and your baggage in by
painful degrees. against the protest of an
inhospitable spring that has been cunningly
contrived somewhere to keep you out Then
you set down your things in narrow. private
sort OF an entry with the feeling Of burglar
awaiting arrest, and wipe off your forehead
and look over the ground. There are no signs,
no bells, no anything. You stamp and cough,
and rattle around for a while. and by and by the
commotion wakes up somebody in the rear Of
the house, who opens the door and peers
through. This is your opportunity. If you are
affable, and persistent and plausible, and state
your case with respectful urgency, this person
usually femalel. after some preliminary ex-
animation, will disappear, and come back In
time with another and higher functionary
(also female) who examines you I'm

favorable conditions, with your admission.

THE NEW CUNARDER.
She Attains a Speed of 449 Miles I'm One Day
on Her First Trip to New York.

new YORK gun.
When people look at ship Of modern build,
and particularly at a new passenger ship like
the Cunarder Etruria, which arrived at this port
Yesterday on her first trip, they have great diff
Guilty in comprehending the size of the vessel
before them AS the Etruria lay at her dock
her load water-line at the bow was more than
eight feet out of water and the black hulk
lowered above that about high as
the roof of an ordinary three-story tenement
towers above the street The keel of the ship
was twenty one feet down under the water If
she could be set down in Broadway, opposite the
postoffice pedestrians would have to pass up
and down the street on each side in single file
and people could walk by means of plank from
her promenade deck into the windows Of the top
stories of buildings on the west side of the street
The pennant from her mainmast would float on
level with the weather gauge at the top of the
tall flagstaff on top of the postoffice building.
The Seventh regiment could find accommoda
tions in her first cabin, and three other regi
ments could be quartered in the intermediate
and the Storage If the power could be eco
nomically transmitted, her engines would run a
large part of all the machinery in the city.
The Etruria is the latest type of ocean pas
senger ship built on what Capt. Bedford PIN of
the royal navy calls the gas pipe model. She is
$40 feet long, and is about as deep as she is
broad, this model being necessary because of the
narrow gates to the Liverpool docks. She car
ries $500 tons of coal for her trip across the
ocean, and if she could be loaded down to a
draught OF thirty feet she would carry 20O0 tons
of cargo. British ship-owners hope that eventu
ally New York's harbor will be dredged out so
that che can do this, but until this is done she
cannot carry much more than 500 tons
The Etruria was built chiefly as fast passen-
ger steamer. On her trial trip she reached a
speed of twenty-four miles an hour On her
way across she covered AS and 440 miles in two
days, but she was not speeded all the way.
Her builders assert that she will cross the
ocean in six days and seven hours. OF in three
bonn lace fhon fh0
that she is fitted up in style far superior to
any other ship yet brought out by the Cunard
company Since the English government has
chartered the America, the Alaska the Ore
gon, and the I'm bria, the Etruria is the only
six-day ship that remains in the Liverpool
service

mastered, there is q freedom and q sense of

May Will Be Good Month for General
Grant and Grain Spectators.
IF had 81, 900 to spend I'd put it in wheat "

why, man, there's millions in wheat in war
times and war is sure to come, for the planets
say so, and they never fail Raphael predicted
General Grants illness, and the planets say the
throat troubles will cease, and Americas SOL
der statesman will recover. That's bet
ter news than war predictions, which
not only apply to strife between the
lion and the bear but also to series Of riots in
Ireland and France. Mark We, my man, It'll
come, or I'm TO prophet or reader of the planets.
See what Raphael predicts for this month";" and
drawing forth well-worn relic in the shane of
an astrologers guide, he opened its pages so that
the reporter could see what dire Affections were
likely to fall upon the suffering inhabitants of
this and other lands. The passage referred to is
termed 1.-THE Voice Of the Heavens" and is as
follows:
''The first face Of the sign Libra is on the
ascendant at the new moon on the l4th, and
Cancer will be eliminating, Mercury and Mars
will be on the cusp of the eighth house; Jupiter
will be in the eleventh, Saturn in the ninth, and
sun, moon and Venus in the eighth in square to
Jupiter and trine to Uranus There is no planet
angular, hence the map is not an important one.
There Twill be sad events occur on the high
seas-colisions and wrecks--and on the land
some fearfully sudden deaths, chiefly from heart
disease. There will also be many accidents,
attended with much loss Of life.
1.-THE transits for the month are rather serious,
| as Mars and Mercury will be conjoined In Tau
rus and this is likely to lead to violent scenes in
| Ireland, riot and sedtion. More especially dur
| ing the second and third weeks of the month.
| Saturn is still in Gemini, hence the trade of the
country will be very unsatisfactory; bank fail
ures may be anticipated. The location Of Jupi.
ter in Leo Is favorable for France generally but
Uranus being in Virgo, the ruling sign of Paris,
will cause violent scenes therein during the lat
| ter part OF the month"

To an Old Love.


Though we pass by with courteous bow
And half unconscious memory now,
Sometimes I think and wonder long
About our love, once deep and strong,
And look back half regretfully
Through years that seem eternity.
And sometimes in my dreams l feel
Your loving arms about me steal;
Heart close to heart in strong embrace,
Remembered kisses on my face!
Then am young, and life is new,
All else forgot remembering you.
The pain and silence that has been
For years and years our hearts between
Is spanned by rushing memory
That once more brings you back to me.
But soon the memory fades away;
The humdrum cares of every day
Half cloud my brain; OR old love seems
Like sweet but half-forgotten dreams.
And woman's work and household art
Fight back the romance in my heart.
But oft in memory again
The love that was half bliss, half pain,
Will fill my heart with magic power,
And brighten many weary hour,
And our sweet, foolish, hopeless love,
Will be my hearts dear treasure trove,
And near your soul will walk Away,
Perhaps unseen, from day to day
A soul that once was mine, but died
When I became another bride;
And in my twilight dreams of you,
Half wishing that had been true,
The ghost of her who used to be
Your little sweetheart visits me.
