Mrs. WaIIace's Lecture.

Mrs. Zerelda G. Wallace of Indiana
at Music hall Tuesday evening. The
audience was a small one, less than 30
being present, but the address was an
excellent one in every respect. Mrs.
Wallace resorts to no tricks of Oratory,
but commands the attention of her
hearers by presenting strong argu
told the story of her conversion to a
wOman's suffragist as the result of
work in the wOman's crusade move
ment against the liquor traffic in the
West Is years ago. 1t was in fighting
the saloon that she learned that the
only power really feared was that of
the ballot. Then were presented the
various reasons why the ballot should
be granted to woman, the arguments
opposed to the movement being con-
sidered one by one and very ably re-
futed. 1t is seldom that the question
of wOman's enfranchisement is present.

He Found $34O.
Editor Caledonian If Gan honest
man is the noblest work of God" what
can be said of an honest boy Thurs
day evening young man called at my
house and asked if / had lost anything
lately. said L did not know of any
thing and asked what he had found.
He said pocket book. 1 told him it
could not be mine. He said he found
it Tuesday evening on Central street
and my name was in it. l was through
Central street Tuesday evening but
had missed no pocket book, but on
looking for it in its usual place found
it not there and concluded must have
dropped it. Upon my describing the
book and contents, he said there could
be no doubt about it and cheerfully
handed it to me, and, Notwithstanding
he thought himself more than paid, |
think him entitled to something more
than money.
For the finding of $34O late in the
evening, in no ones presence, and
waiting from Tuesday till Thursday
evening and hearing of no loss, must
have been a temptation that many
boys could not have withstood, and
shows him to be a young man of hon.
esty and good principles influenced by
the precepts and examples of honest
parents. His name is John Harlow,
son of L. g. Harlow. | don't know
how many more there may be in the
place as honest as John, but hope there
are enough to save "SOdom."
Never having been known to possess
so much money, my statement may be
doubted, but to remove such doubts
would say the money did not belong to
me, but would have been my loss al
the same had it not fallen into honest
/ hands. L. GRAHAM.

AT THE end of June, 1885, four months
after Mr.. Cleveland became President,
the total interest-bearing debt Of the
United States was 81 ,260, ,774, ,462. On
the 1st of this month the corresponding
total was $3.50, O,063,17 The principal Of
the Understanding debt has therefore
been reduced $3.50, I'll ,29O during Cleve-
lands Administration, taking no account
of the first four months, during which
there was probably over. SIC, ,OO0, 900 re-
duction. This is reduction of the princi-
pal at the rate of S5.OO0,OOO a year.
Since June, 1887, the amount of 4 and
AZ per cent bonds outstanding has been
reduced $s2 ,06S, 100, and the amount Of 8
per cents outstanding has been reduced
$40, ,051 500, making total decrease Of
SOL, ,119, 600. Interest has been stopped all
this time on $665 900 more of per cents
that have not yet been presented for re-
demption. That is the record Of very
economic Administration. 1t has been
conducted on business principles, and
that is why the people are for Grover
Cleveland.
