HENRY cLAvs SUPERIOR FACULTY
OF Remembering Names and Faces How
he Recognized a Barkeeper.
ben. PerIey Poore.

ben; Perley Poore.l
Henry Clay possessed the wonderful
faculty, so valuable to politician. OF re-
Numbering names and faces. Many anec-
dotes are told illustrating this, and also his
exquisite tact On one occasion, il il mar
rated, when he was at the height Of his fame,
MIR. Clay was on triumphant journey
down the Ohio river, and was to stop at a
certain town for an hour or two to enable
tho people to shake hands with him. For
days before he arrived, Griggsby, a well-to-
do citizen, had talked about his having
known Mr.. Clay at a time whom the latter
boarded at the Lexington hotel, In which
Griggsby was barkeeper
Griggsby did not tell the people that one
night when Clay had played cards in the
hotel till he had lost his money and his luck,
he had borrowed $50 from Grigg sby at the
latter's suggestion, which had straightway
followed his own money into his opponents
pockets He had promised Griggsby that
he would repay him when he could, and
then Griggsby was no longer in Lexington,
and SO he forgot Griggsby's loan. Griggsby
was glad he didn't remember 1t was his
proude,t memory that he had once loaned
Mr.. Henry Clay $50.
And now Mr. Clay was coming to town,
and Griggsby felt sure he would be recog-
nized. The town was on pins and needles Of
excitement all day. The town band made it
fairly dance with uneasiness. Mr.. Clay's
boat was announced forty times before it
arrived Any number of small boys tumbled
into the water looking for it. The refresh
ments got cold, the crowd got tired and the
reception committee forgot its little speech
Of welcome. At last Mr.. Clay arrived. He
was at his zenith point He always looked
as great as he was. He looked very demi-
god to the people Of the little town. They
got him into the hall They read the speech
OF welcome to him from the original manu-
script Then they formed in line and the
big fish presented the minnows.
At last came Griggsby's turn. Trembling
under his smiles lest. after all, the great
man might have forgotten him, he ad-
vanced, while all the townsfolk watched
with eagerness the much-talked-of meeting
He did not have to be presented. "Why,
Mr.. Griggsby," said Clay, as he came for
ward, Il am very glad to see you again
Mr.. Griggsby, a word with you," and he
led him out of the open -mouthed throng for
quiet chat in the corner. Then Griggsby
felt flushed with triumph He did not tell
the people Of the town what had passed on
that weighty conference. But by and by it
leaked out that after asking about his
health and his property, Clay had insisted,
in spite of Griggsby's vigorous protest, in
making a memorandum to return that
loan. And return it he did.

Where Is Fairg

TIE Salt Lake Tribune says:
The silver speech Of Senator j .
P. Jones, delivered in the closing
days OF Congress, is the most true,
comprehensive and exhaustive pre-
sentation Of the subject ever yet
formulated. 1t ought to be laid
upon the table of every farmer and
every productive business man in
the United States. The speech is
most clear enunciation of the
place which money occupies, and a
most awful arraignment Of the
policy which rules silver out from
its immemorial place.
Isn't it little strange that Sen
ator Fair never makes a speech in
the Senate? Jones aud Woodblrn
have been in their places al
through the session, and Fair has
been . sypher.

Europeans are not fools enough
to enter into such t speculation.
Besides, upon the passage Of bill
for free coinage Of both gold and
silver by the United States the
price will be fixed throughout the
world. No one in any country
would sell their silver for less than
they could get in the United States.
The fact that the United States
was aole and willing to exchange
gold for silver or silver for gold
would fix the price and no one
would care to make the exchange.
France was not flooded with either
silver or gold when she tried the
same experiment. The United
States, when she resumed specie pay
u eni, was not flooded with green
backs; not a dollar Of greenbacks
was presented to pay for gold when
everybody knew the United States
was able, willing and ready to make
the exchange: Mr.. Stewart de-
clared that We must either have
free coinage of silver or the silver

River passenger pool February /, ieada
to the belief that great difficulty VIII De
experienced In effecting a compromise
A careful investigation appears to lndl-
cate that. in this threatened trouble,
the managers of the Rock Island are
primarily responsible. This great I
poration has comparatively little inter
est in the Northwest, but through lts
roundabout" connections demands rec
ognition and a large slice OF the NorIn-
western traffic. 1t is an open secret
that while the Rock Island IS supposed
to be more distinctively than almost any
| other a Chicago road, its power and IN
/ fuence are being used not only TO iur,
Their the speculative desires OF a trusted
few in Wall Street, but practlcaily
against Chicago's best interests But
leaving aside all discussion Of passenger
duarrels and Wall street combinations
to fleece the lambs, the freight proolem
stands locally pre-. eminent. IL Is the
question IN which every one IS inter-
ested. Tho fact is not disputed that a
| steady maintenance of reasonable ana
INST rates inures to the benefit OF the
entire business community, and YET IL
cau hardly be denied that this so-cailed
Chicago road has been discriminating
steadily against the interests Of Chicago.
When the fact is taken INTO consider
alton that the freight traffic OF the
Western roads represents 10 per GEM,
OF the gross revenue, some estimate may
be formed as to the huctuation IN
stocks that may be caused by any lead
ing road so manipulated, and the IN
Jury to Chicago such a route Is capable
OF doing when administered Ia the III .
serest of Wall street. The hope Is ex-
pressed that the Milwaukee ana Oh
Paul and the Northwestern may JON
forces long enough to tlfsctuaIly sup
press this outside plratIng and BRING
the business back to its legitimate
course through Chicago.
