The following is one of a series of
letters by Southern Governors on
the sectional feeling north and
south, the outcome of sectional
legislation, now appearing in the
Cincinnati Post.
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA, }
ExEcUrIvE DEPARTMENT..
CHARLESTON, Aug. Is, 1890. }
EDITOR Posi-; You ask me for a
brief expression of opinion on "The
relations, trade and political be-
tween the North and South"
Living, MS l do. near the Mason
and Dixon line, and having person
al business relations with the people
OF both sections, | am obliged to
say that, in my Judgement, there
is more sectional bitterness mani
tested to-day in the North than in
the South; and that, indeed has been
true ever since the abandonment,
10 years ngo, by the federal gov
ernment Of the rule of force IN the
Southern states.
But for the continuous Haunting
OF the "bloody shirt" by Northern
politicians, o! certain class, and
their tireless and noisy advocacy Of
hostile and insulting sectional leg
islation, the people of the South
would feel as kindly toward the
people of the North as in the days
of the fathers of the Union, and
the last surviving remnant Of ieal-
ousy and sectionalism would be
gone. The business interests Of
the country clearly demand the
suppression Of sectional ngtators
and all sectional legislation. Nor
thern capital has been and is now
seeking and finding profitable in
vcstments in the vast resources of
the South, and as the interests of
the two sections shall become moro
and more closely interwoven recip-
rocal sentiments Of good will and
common pride in our country's
advancement and glory must domi-
nate alike both North and South.
In short, when public sentiment in
the North shall be such as to teach
her politicians that hatred of tho
South is not the open seasame to
official honors and emOlument /
think the relations between the
North and South, political and
trade, will be all that the most pa
triotic citizens could desire. The
message brought by the eloquent
Gray to the sons of New England
three years ago should not be for
gotten or permitted TO go unheeded.
Very truly, etc.,
A. B. FLEMING,
GOUernor Of Vest Virgiaia.

Public Office is QHarrison) Family
Trust"

IT was thought that all the mem
bers Of the Harrison tribe and their
personal retahers were given good
place at the public trough, but il
seems that one has been overlooked
for long time. IIc is Mr.. Curtis
Miller. of Deansyille, Oneida coun-
ty, New York, the Presidents part
ncr's brother. However he was
provided for tho other day. He
was appointed deputy collector of
Internal Revenue at Utica, and his
appointment was due principally to
the fact that Mr.. Curtis Miller is
the brother Of the Presidents law
partner, William Henry Harrison
Miller, whom the President appoint
cd Attorney General.
The list Of Harrison's family now
drawing pay from the United States
Treasury, by virtue Of Benjamin
Harrison's appointment, may thus
be extended as follows:
/. The Presidents brother.
2. The Presidents brother-in-
law.
3. The Presidents sister-in-law.
A. The Presidents father-in-law.
5. The Presidents sons father
in-law.
6. The Presidents wife's cousin.
z. The Presidents sons wife S
cousin.
8, The Presidents nephew.
Q. The Presidents daughters
brother-in-law.
10. The Presidents brothers
son-in-law.
IL. The Presidents wife's niece's s
husband.
II. The Presidents sons father
iu-law's niece's husband.
13. The Presidents brother-in-
law, number two.
II. The Presidents secretqry's
brother in-law.
10. The Presidents partners
brother.
IL is q pity that 80 imposing a
family group must be preserved for
posterity only in the inexpensive
and hard lines Of type. Such a
gathering has never before been
witnessed in our history and prob
ably never will be again. The re-
sources Of the cart preseryative'
arc unequal to this occasion, and
the man with the camera should be
called IN. The family should be
assembled attlie Cape May gift cot
tage and photographed and the pict.
urc labelled Public Office is O
Family Trust. Regi5tor.

Y0U KISSED NE.
BY sOsrrnrxr : uuSr.

you Kissed IRE my head
Droiped low on your breast
With feeling Of shelter
And Infinite rOst,
whilo the holy emotions
My tongue dare not speak
Flashed up In a flame
Prom my heart 20 my cheek,
Your arms held me fast
Oh your arms woro SO bold
Heart beat against heart
In your passionate fold.
Your glanccs seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes
As the sun draws the mist
From the seas to the skies.
Your lips clung 20 mino
TIN prayed In my bliss
They might never unclasp
From that rapturous kiss.
You kissed mo my heart
And my breath and my will
In delirious JOY
For moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions of happiness
out OF your arms.
Aud were this instant
An angel, possessed
OF the peace ami the Joy
That arc given the blest,
would fling my white robos
Unrcpentingly down,
would tear from my forehead
It's beautiful crown,
To nestle once more
In that haven Of rest,
Your lips upon mine,
Ny head ON your breast.
You kissed mo my soul
In a bliss SO divine.
Roelcd like a drunken man,
Foolish with wine;
And thought 'twere delicious
To die there, ~ death
Would but come while my lips
Were yet moist with your breath
III my heart might grow cold
While your arms olasped me round
In their passionate fold.
And these are the questions
ask day and night;
Must my lips taste no moro
such exquisite deiiChtY
Would you caro- II your broast
Were my shelter as then,
And n you were here,
Would yOn Kiss Inc aga.ni

Mormon Tithing Scrip.

If you go into the principal office of
the tithing-house, says Salt Lake
City letter in the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crdt, you will see tall, young man
handling what looks like money. He
is behind counter and the counter is
protected by high railing, The man
glances through the window, then looks
down at the bills, and goes on thumb
ing them like bank teller. He goes
to and from big safe, carrying bun
dies done up just as bills are, with lit
tie bands of brown paper pinned about
them. Sometimes the young man
doesn't stop to count, but takes the
amount on the brown slip as correct
and passes out the money. This is
Mormon money. 1t is the tithing
scrip. 1t is used to facilitate the hand
ling of the grain, and hay, and live
stock, and produce which come in. If
you pick up one of these bills you will
find it very much like a bank note in
appearance. In one upper corner is
the number of the bill. In the lower
left-hand corner is the in hoe signo of
Mormonism, beehive,
The face of the bill reads: Gen
cIdl N'oou oiiiJ
for merchandise and produce at
the general tthing storehouse, Salt
Lake city, Utah" Each note bears
the signature of the presiding bishop.
On the back is the denomination again
and vignette of the new temple at
Salt Lake City. The back also bears
the wording: This note is not cur
rent except in the merchandise and
produce departments of the general
tithing storehouse." The engraving is
well executed and the printing is well
done. The bills vary in color. There
are greenbacks for one department of
the tithing house, brownbacks for an
other, and so on. BY using this scrip
the church is able to create market
for considerable quantities of the tith-
ing. The scrip is given out in dis
pensing charity. 1t is used for paying
for work on the temple so far as the
workmen can make use of it, EN-
ployes OF the tithing house receive their
salaries of allowance partly in scrip.
In numerous ways the Mormon money
gets into circulation.

Making Nickels and Pennies.

The copper used in the manufacture
of pennies is of the very best quality,
and is from the Calumet " Hecla Min
ing Company on Lake Superior. The
metal is shipped in bulk from the mines
to the factories of Merchant II Co., in
Connecticut.
There it is rolled and stamped out in
circles of the requisite size, say the
Philadelphia Inquirer. These circles
are perfectly plain, with the exception
OF the raised or milled edge. AT TINS
stage the pieces intended for pennies
are rs bright as gold pieces, while
those intended for nickels resemble
highly polished silver. In this condi-
ton they are delivered to the mint. Or
course, it is absolutely necessary that
all the pieces should be of uniform size
and weight.
The transfer from the factory to the
mint is made, and the number of pieces
in a package is reckoned by its weight.
To find out how many small coins the
amount of nickel and copper contract
ed for at present will make multiply
the number of pounds of copper by 100
and the number OF pounds of nickel by
seventy.
This calculation will show that the
metal now about to be made up into
coin will make 35, 900 nickels and
100000 pennies. One hundred pen
nies, therefore, weigh exactly one
pound.
When these pieces reach the mint
they are subjected to the finishing pro-
cess, which consists in stamping them
with the denomination, lettering and
characters seen on the coins, when
they reach the public. TO accomplish
this great pressure is needed, as the
pieces are not heated again after leav-
inc the factory.
The amount of pressure required is
simply enormous, considering the size
of the pieces. The copper pennie re-
quire pressure of ten tons avoirdu-
pois, while with the nickel pieces it is
necessary to put on a apressure of from
twelve TO fifteen tons.

this class. The Merchants Association
of this borough has been trying to pro.
tect its members for some years past
against the inroads of the cheat" but
with what success we are not prepared
to state. In the opinion of our local
merchants the man who earns from $75
to 1925 month is the one to be most
feared.
The Sun commenting on the bill now
before the New York Legislature says
the argument of the advocates of the
measure is that every man ought to pay
his debts, and if he has not money
enough on hand to pay them with, he
ought to devote part of his labor to that
end But if this doctrine is correct, why
not apply it to all debts instead of only
to those which are contracted for nee
essaries, and why should not man who
runs in debt for yacht or carriage,
which he does not need, be compelled
by law to apply his future earnings in
payment of what he owes, just as much
as man who buys ham or a bag of
-four, which he does need in order to
live?
The retail grocers complain of the class
of customers whom they politely donomi-
nate "dead BEATS" and assert that this
bill will decrease the number of such
persons who deal with them. But they
have an adequate remedy in their own
hands and can guard against contracting
bad debts without the aid of any legisla-
ton. If they are content to sell only for
cash to those whose ability or intent to
pay eventually is doubtful. they will be
safe enough. Under this drastic law
their poorer customers would practically
become their serfs. The grocers would
sell to such persons on credit more freely
than they do now, knowing that if the
purchaser worked at all-and he must
work in order to support himself and his
family-one-tenth of his labor would be
performed for the benefit of his grocer.
If the Legislature wants to increase
the burdens of the workingmen in this
State, it will at once pass this bill.
