MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.

The Merchants association have
fitted up their room i'll the Republi-
can block with chairs, table, cur
tains, etc, and are now ready for
business. Their next meeting comes
Sept 16 and full attendance is de-
sired. This association has done
much good in bringing professional
dead beats to light and encouraging
the pay-as-you-gO plan, which is
better for buyer and seller. The
''black list" contains about 40
names and in many instances the
"hardest cases have been settling
up old bills and paying cash for new
goods, with the intention of redeem
ing their names.
The association now has 70 MEM
bers and new applications for mem
bership are being constantly received.
An effort is being made to merge this
organization into a board of trade
and it is meeting with general ap-
proval wherever it is discussed. 1t
is good move and one that ought
to succeed. However beneficial the
association has been in the past, its
usefulness would be increased as a
board of trade. Other towns in Yer
mont have a board of trade and
speak of it in terms of highest COM
mendation. Why shouldn't St.
TOhnsbury have one?

he should carry this county-which, OF
course, We regard as out of the ques-
tion-it would be impossible for him
to secure the nomination because, to
mention no other reason, the office
will not be allowed to come to two Al
len county men in succession. AS an
intelligent man Mr.. Foust of course
knows this and we regret that he
should place himself in the attitude OF
making the race, not with the hope or
the expectation of winning the prize
for himself, but solely for the purpose
of defeating somebody else. We trust
he may yet think better of il and with

Walking down Main street in Kan

a well dressed man and woman who
were walking just before us, stop in
front of saloon. After a moments
conversation the man went into the
saloon and the woman remained on
the sidewalk in front waiting for him
and trying, but making a pitiful failure
of it, to look Indifferent and uncon-
ccrned. Somehow it did not seem at
all pleasant sight and we could not
help feeling proud that Kansas had
made it forever impossible for a man
to humiliate his wife that way on the
streets of any of her cities.

OLD-TIME CURRENCY.
Tie Dangers That Beset Business Men
Forty Years Ago.

From the Rochester Herald
few days ago the Albany Journal reprinted
in fac smile the first page of the first number
of the Journal Of March %, 1880. The post of
honor, as containing the most important VS.
OF that day, was given to a table filling more
than column and half, to be corrected
weekly. In this table was found information
about the bank bills which person was likely
to find among his money. One of the prime
necessities Of that time was bank note de-
tector, and one Of the risks was that man
might wake up any morning and find half the
bills IN his pocket worthless from the failure of
the state banks that had issued them. Again a
business man coming from another state o.
even from another part Of this state needed
the detector to tell him how much discount the
bills, which were good at their face value in the
place he came from, were subject to in the
town where he wanted to use them.
In the table referred to the bills of the banks
in and around Albany, at Schenectady TROY
and Lansingburg are quoted at par, but from
Newburg, Utica. syracuse, Rochester and Buff
falo they were from one-fourth to one per cent
dscOunt-that is. the bills of sound banks The
bills of n bank at Catskill and one at Pough-
keepsle are quoted as worth 80 cents on q dollar.
one at Hudson 40 cents and one in New York 20
cents. The New England bills averaged about
one-half OF one per cent discount, but the num-
Der OF banks reported as broken" is large, Con-
necticut furnishing two, Rhode Island one Mas
sachusetts four and Maine five in the list in the
Journal The more distant the banks that issued
the bills the larger the discount Pennsylvania
bills averaged "a per cent discount, Virginia
bills 2. South Carolina and Georgia bills 3, Ohio
bills 4. Mississippi bills 10 and Alabama bills
20. Bills that were perfectly good one day
might be worthless the next. These troubles
with the old state bank bills are worth remem-
bering and worth recalling when proposition
Is made. as it has been in Congress this session,
to abolish the prohibitOry tax which alone pre-
vents n return Of wildcat and red-dog state
banking.

From wooded Maine, New England 3 farms. from
fertile Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio,
From the measureless West, Virginia, the South

Gwen here in my room shadows and halflights In
the noiseess pickering flames,
Again i the stalwart ranks on-filing, rising-I
hear the rhythmic tramp Of the armies):
You million unwrit names all, all-you dark be-
quest from all the war,
special verse for you-a flash OF duty long
neglected-your mystic roll strangely
gather'd here,
Each name recalI'd by me from out the darkness

Henceforth to be- deep, deep within my heart re-

Your mystic roll entire Of unknown namcs or

Embalm'd with love in this twilight song.
