LANCASTER, FEBRUARY ., 1855.
A Very Sensible Letter.

The letter of the president-elect is very
vigorously written paper. 1t expresses
what 1t meansto say very forcibly. 1t is
strong in its argument and emphatic in its
conclusion. 1t clearly demonstrates that
President Cleveland will be courageous,
frank and decided in his treat
ment Of public questions, and that
he will be well acquainted with
the subjects which he treats. The
requested him not to make up his mind
upon the silver coinage question until he
had heard what its advocates had 10 say.
His response shows that he knows
more about the matter than those
who desired to instruct him. He places
the subject in very naked state of exposure.
He says that the silver dollar is intrinsi-
cally worth great deal less than the gold
dollar, which cannot he denied, and that
the country has absorbed as many of them
into its circulation as it will take; which
is very clearly shown by the fact that the
United States has to store tons upon tons of
them. Any forced circulation of them
will drive the more valuable gold currency
cut of circulation and will make the de,
preciated silver coin the basis of values. 81
long as only 50 much is put into circulation
as is willingly taken, notwithstanding its
depreciation, because of its convenience as
small change, it may be current at the value
of gold, but the demand for it will he the
limit of its currency with gold.
Some people are bothered by the thought
that the president-elect is at issue with on
branch of Congress before he is Inaugural
ted; but whenever he is right he can wei
afford to be in this condition. 1t is the part.
in the wrong that will suffer; and itwil
not be easy to convince the people that TIN
president is wrong in wanting to stop tn,
coinage of a currency that will not circu

a Newspaper-Carr,er.s sad Death.

The coroner of Philadelphia, has been no.
titled TO hold an inquest upon the body of
James Il. Fowler, newspaper-carrier,
aged rs years, who died Friday at his home,
No 1905 Randolph street, from injuries re-
ceived by "A fall ON the ice ON Friday, the 10Th
instant On that day he fell at Second and
Race streets, cutting his head badly, and was
taken TO the Fourth district police station, on
Fifth street, above Race. There his
injured head was washed, and he was dis
missed. The old man was too weak To walk
far, and soon fell again, and another officer
took him back to the station, where he was
locked pin a cell all night, the sergeant think
ing that he was intoxicated. On the following
morning he was discharged. DIR. Gardner,
who was called in TO attend the injured man
at his home, states that his life could have
been saved had he received proper treatment
at once. Mr.. Fowler was known as a soher
and industrious man, and had been a news
paper carrier for over twenty-five years.

THE editorial moon of Lititz has blood on
its face, and the end is not yet.

The evils of loose divorce are frequent
subject Of animadversion, but they seem 10
thrive rather than grow less under discussion.
The divorce rate in Philadelphia has doubled
in the last ten years. In California there is one
divorce TO eight marriages, while in some
parts OF New England the bigamists are said
to be as many as the divorced. The old
common law permitted no divorce, and as it
required the sanction of a clergyman, the
marriage relation was entered into with
more deliberation and consequently with
more happiness. The idea that marriage is
merely civil contract has been ran to such
an extreme now that people enter 1t and
dissolve it much after the style of transac-
tion in live stock. Ii would be well for
society If there could be a return to tho no
