A Coin on Its Trauals

HOW money makes the mare CO. was shown
oy an incident that occurred yesterday on A.
chestnut street car, and exemplified the power
contained IN one little nickel, says the Phadel-
phia inquirer. A stout man handed dime to
the conductor. who, before returning the
change, collected nickel from a female pas
Senger, evidently washerwoman. and handed
the nickel to the stout man. Turning to a
passenger, friend evidently and who had got
on before the stout man, the latter handed him
the nickel, remarking with laugh at the same

The acquaintance tipped the coin from bis

female companion with the remark:
Ihere s that cents l borrowed for that
cigar this morning"
Smiling sweetly the lady accepted the coin
and, reaching over, dropped it into the washer
woman's hand, saying:
Iheres the cents owe you. and that lust
mikes us square,
1t was all done so quickly and in such an off
hand way that it was not until the coin was in

PAID. passing in turn through the hands of the

The editor of the Wisconsin WhippoortciH
addressed himself thus to one of the clerks in
the business office of the London Times, and
passed his card In through the window

The Silver Convention

The st. Louis silver convention was not
as big an affair as it's friends hoped it would
be. When it was called it was asserted
that at least 1900 delegates would te pres
ent. The attendance was less than 200, and
at the final session the number present was
so small that it attracted notice on that &C
count.
The work done by the convention will
not have very perceptible influence upon
public sentiment. The resolutions express
the well-known views of Congre ssman
Bland, who prepared and offered them, and
who for years has been the chief champion
in this country of the free coinage of silver.
1t will be a good while yet, however, if
ever, before congress will adopt Mr.. BANDS
views on silver. The amount of silver now
authorized to be coined per month may be
increased, though it is far from certain that
it will be, but that the coinage Of silver will
not be made free as long as there is no inter
national agreement relative to a silver
standard is about as certain as ANYTHING
can be.
The silver men propose to give the cues
ton of the free coinage OF silver pretty
thorough agitation. The st. Louis conven-
ton provided for creating state aud ma
tional silver leagues, and we may look
for good deal of talk on the silver ques.
ton during the next year. Congress,
however, is not going to make any very
radical changes in the present silver coinage
law. 1t feels that it is on pretty safe
ground now, so far as silver is concerned,
and it viii not be in a hurry to get off it.
1t will hardly take step in any direction
until it is satisfied that it can do so without
injury to the country.

ne Plummervtlle cases.

Powell Clayton occupies q position in
Arkansas very much ike that occupied by
Malone in Virgins. He is the boss of the
Republican party in that state. and q very

he is, if the accounts Of his political man

- be 70 have certain young men
who were arrested on the charge
Of bang connected with alleged ballot
box frauds in what is known as the Plum
mervile precinct sent TO the peaiteatisry.
1t viii be remembered that Clayt0n's
brother, who was a candidate for congress
against Congressman Breckenridge, was
assassinated while engaged in investigating
the charge that frauds had been committed
IN that precinct.
Clayton seems TO have made up his mind
that those who committed the alleged
frauds assassinated his brother, and he has
spared no effort to have the young men
who had been arrested convicted. 1t is
said that in order to aid him in his under
taking the President has permitted him to
control absolutely the federal patronage Of
Arkansas, and if reports are true he used
his power TO get the young men indicted,
and to get such testimony as he thought
would answer his purpose.
The accused parties have been tried and
and acquitted. The evidence produced
against them was of such a character as to
leave grave doubts whether some of it was
not manufactured. The federal Judge who
presided at the trial, however, is fair and
honorable man, and held the scales of jus
tice with such impartiality, that truth
triumphed.
It is rather strange that the President
should permit such men as Clayton and
Malone to have so much influence with
him. In the Virginia campaign the whole
weight of the administration was thrown
il Mahone's favor, and in Arkansas Clayton
has been permitted to have absolute control
of the federal appointments in order to
carry out his purposes. In time, probably,
the President will learn that men like Ma
hone and Clayton can do him no good either
in the north or south

henchmen up to the Secretary of the

revenue appointments, etc. The secretary han
pened to be temporarily out, and the delegation
seated themselves around the room, Col Ownby
strolling over and taking the secretary's arm
chair What KIDD of a secretary do you think
would make, boys?" he asked. Just then the
door opened and another delegation marched
in. They were headed by big, tall fellow,

Sarah K. Bolton in Journal of Education
The boats lay stranded on the beach.
tangled with seaweed dark and green;
desolate and dreary scene,
Far as the eye could reach;
The tide was out.
How changed the view when cay is done:
The boats rode gayly on the deep,
Their white sails nodding as in sleep.
Kissed by the setting sun;
The tide was in.
Thus many life in want or woe,
Lies stranded on barren shore;
But God is God forevermore;
Take courage, for we know
The tide comes in,
And lifted from the rocks and shoals.
We sail upon sunlit sea;
Night opens on eternity
Sweet rest for weary souls

Genuine civil service reformers are asking
each other whether the newly appointed
postmaster at Philadelphia, Mr.. John
Field, is honest. OF course they have no
doubt that he is honest as far as money
matters are concerned, but they do not feel
certain that he is the genuine civil service
reformer that he pretends to be- He is
Postmaster General Wanamaker's friend,
and the President appointed him against
the wishes of Senator Quay, the Pennsyl-
vania boss.
Mr.. Field took charge of his Office few
days ago, and soon afterward he wrote a
letter to the local civil service reform asso-
citation. in which, speaking of the civil ser
vice reform law ana the rules and regula-
tons to enforce it, he said: "These rules
and regulations, and the full spirit and pur-
pose of the law, as | understand the same,
SHALL be strictly observed and maintained.
So far, therefore, as applies to the places in
the Philadelphia postoffice, there will, dur
ing my administration, be no removals ex-
cept for just and legal cause, and no
appointment save in strict accordance with
the law"
If Mr.. Wauamaker's postmas ter keeps
his promise he will reflect credit upon that
official, and do much to relieve him of some
of the odium he brought upon himself for
trying to use the pan-American delegates,
when they were in Philadelphia, to adver-
tise his Market street shop. 1t will be a
surprise, however, to the republican heelers
and henchmen of the Quaker City to see
the postodice of that overgrown village run
on business principles and in accordance
with the civil service reform law.
