STEWARDS VIEW OF IT.

"Whst is ycuI idea OF the present
Status OF the silver question ?" asked
m Examiner reporter oil Senate,
3 .ewart:
"There are strong indications
that he creditor class are losing
contio. of their debtors. and that
continued contraction is creating
such discomfort as will eliminate IN
rebellion against the despotic rule
OF tie i-prodncing class.
"The recent election in the East
show that the people are not we'd
ded to hard times. During the
last year the currency OF the coun-
try has been contracted about $780,
900. 900. Forty-one million dollars
Of National bank notes have been
retired on account Of payment OF
the bonds deposited for their secur-
Ity, and s25, 900 900 mere gold has
exported than the amount imported,
added to the product of the mines.
1.-THE only addition made to the
circulating medium has been about
$33 ZOO. 900, of silver money, or
certificates representing silver coin.
This makes an annual contraction
Of about $50, 900, 900.
This does. not represent however,
all Of the contraction which has
taken place. The population has
increased largely In the last year,
requiring an addition to its circula
ton and not dimlnution.
eff the bondholders' policy had
been fully carried out there would
have been no silver coinage, and ).
the contraction would have bsen
sos 900 900 during the last year.
at will be impossible for the
bondhclders to delude the people
much longer with the assertion that
there is gold enough to supply the
demand for money. The experience
OF every year demonstrates the alb
surdity of such proposition.
"Adherance to the gold standard
means perpetual contraction and
falling markets. Under such cir
cumstances there can be no pros
perity. While the accumulation of
gold and silver on hand prevented
rapid contraction the people did not
realize the disastrous effects which
must follow discsrding one of the
precious metals.
"But low prices, stagnation and
hard times are teaching the people
.. valuable lesson, which will cer-
tainly result in q return to the
full use of both the precious metals
and safe principles of finance.

world for several Thousand years.

ways plays a magnificent game. Mexican,
while man almost go has not played in any
first class ball city but Cleveland. He has
served in the Ohio and New York state
leagues, but first gained reputation in the
club here He often plays in the most brill
liant manner, but slow grounders bring him
misfortune. However, he is valuable man
and tip top batter, his average being consid-
erably more than 300. Tebeau, the capable
young man at third, was great find, +" as
the baseball people would say. He is native
of st. Louis, and is but % years old. He has
played in Jacksonville, Ills. St Joseph, Mo-
Denver, Minneapolis and Chicago He took
Burns place on third base in the latter city
when that fine player was laid off in the fall
of 1887 and the spring of 1883. Last winter
he was hired by LOTUS He is a quick
thrower, fair batter, fine fielder and has
good Judgment.
The outfield of the club is, except in bat
ting, the best, perhaps, IL the National
league. James R. McAleer is the center
fielder, Lawrence Twitchell the left and Paul
Radford the right. Radford comes from
Roxbury, Mass, and is % years old. His
father is a wealthy manufacturer, and Paul
plays ball because he likes to. He is young
man of exemplary habits, and is known as a
professional who will not play ball on Sun
day. Els batting average is good, but hegets
to first base oftener than any man in the
team. He has a true eye and waits for fair
ball before he strikes. As a result he gets a
large number of ''bases on balls" He is
small, but can run like deer. He has played
with Boston, Providence, Kansas City, the
Metropoitans and Brooklyn. Boston and
Providence won the championship while he
was with them. He can play in any position
except behind the bat McAleer was given
a silver bat last year because he was the best
''hittern in the Milwaukee club. He played
with minor teams until became to Cleveland
He was born at Youngstown, O., is 81 years
old, and the fastest runner in the nine. His
fielding is about perfect Twitchell is native
of Cleveland. He has played in big and little
towns, and three years ago went to Detroit as
pitcher He pitched two years, helping to
win the penant, and then went into left field.
He went to Cleveland with the League fran
chise last spring. He is a capable man, a
good runner, fine fielder and an average
batter. Robert Gilks, tie substitute of the
club, is one of the most remarkable men in it.
He came from the southern part of Ohio,
and, with thinner, learned considerable
about the game that infatuates at GAINESVILLE.
He has played there for several years, and can
pitch, catch and field with equal grace and
vigor, He is good batter, and many people
hereabouts are of the opinion that he would
strengthen the team if given an opportunity
to play in it at every game.

A BRIGHT BOYS ANSWER.
He Gets job and the Tobacco Question a
Little Mixed.


A learned pedagogue at Nantucket used
every morning to read passages in the Bible
and expound the same US he proceeded, in
order that, by asking questions as to how
much they remembered of his comments, he
might ascertain who were the bright boys Of
the school On one occasion he read from
the book of Job thus:
"There was a man in thelard of Uz, and
his name was JOB, 0ho fez3ed God and es-
chewed evil"
This means, boys" said the master, ''that
he eschewed evil as l do tobacco; he would
have nothing to do with it."
With this very clear and forcible elucida-
ton of the word ''eschew," he proceeded and
a number of verses were read and commented
on in a similar clear and intelligent manner.
A few days afterward the school committee
called to make an examination. The master
called the boys up and began to put them
through an examination.
"Who was the man that lived IN UzT' he
asked of one of the brightest little fellows
"Jobn
'Was he good manFn
Eyes"
"What did he dog"
''He chewed tobacco when nobody else
would have anything to do with it," was the
boys answer.
That. answer ended the examination for the
day.-Nebraska State Journal.

There Is war between General Butler
and Admiral Porter. Butler comes out
boldly with the assertion that Porter
was the naval officer whom he charged
acted the coward at New Orleans, and
Porter retorts that Butler is a knaye and
a coward, and a childish old man whom
nobody will believe. Public sentiment
is likely to side with Porter, as all the
doubt is in his favor. Cowards do not
usually rise from the lowest Office in the
navy to become It's highest commander.
1t is just little strange that, II the Ad.
miral was guilty Of cowardice, 1t was not
known at the time, or that after all these
years, havlngsuccessively passed through
tue various grades OF promotion and at

Is exposed.
