GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCT.

The report of the director of the mint
for 1889 shows the production Of the
precious metals in the United States
from the establishment of the mint in
1892 until the close of the fiscal year of
1889. The value of the gold product for
the period was 81, SOC, O61, 100, and of the

gold and silver product being $685.

Reports come from the east that ma
jority of the Republican senators have
assured Mr.. Window that they Will sup.
port his silver bullion certificate scheme.
Discussion and enlightenment on the sill
yer question may change this. And
then some Democratic senators some
times vote sensibly on silver measures.
So the success of the proposition to de-
grade silver TO the condition of a mere
commodity is by no means assured.

There were nearly 5000 bills intro
duced in the senate and house previous
to the holiday adjournment, OF which
$500, 900 copies were printed. AS nine
out of ten of these proposed laws were
wholly useless and will never be acted
upon, the expense of printing them in
such liberal quantities can only be re-
garded as a fragrant waste of public
money, and it is to be hoped that bet
ter practice will soon be instituted.

Philadelphia Divorces

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
During the past year the courts of
Philadelphia granted 315 divorces, and,
as far as could be Investigated, four out
of five were runaway matches or ''sud-
den thoughts" on the part of men and
women not at all suitable to each other.
About two years courtship is safe pad
lock for matrimony.

70 rRfENDs AND READERS

The world in general is a great
deal better than many people pre-
tend to believe. With very fen
exceptions, indeed, everybody would
rather see everybody else happy
than miserable, and if it did not
cost too much in trouble and other
things we would all make an effort
to contribute to the happiness of
the human family. Now, apply
this reasoning to ourself, we all
can, If We will, do much toward
Increasing the enlovmcnts of others,
at the same time enlarging our
own. At present we have no doubt
that many of the kind and thought
full readers of the EXPRESS, after,
or even before getting through with
it themselves, have it Borrowed BY
the neighbors, who likewise enjoy
it Leaving out the question of its
not being fair for one family to pay
for D. paper which another enjoys
without Its costing them anything
20 that extent a double pleasure is
conferred by the paper. Notice
how easily the enjoyment al
around may be made both farther
reaching and more justly satisfac-
tory to all. Let those who nov
borrow the EXPRESS of their neigh
Dor, subscribe for it themselves and
lend their copy TO other neighnors
Thus next wear those borrowing
neighbors will like it 80 they viii
subscribe for it in their turn al Z
lend It to still others. In this way
the circle Of subscribers and reader.
will be continually widening. Tn,
subscribers will be making them
selves and their neighbors bettei
and happier, and they viii be Civ
ing the EXPRESS additional means
for being happy by being able t.
add more and more names to tn
subscription list Our object il
running the EXPRESS Is two-fold, t,
earn an honest living and to assis
Others in doing the same. IF il
4his way we can keep the vol
from TIE door and contribute to tn
dappiness of others, our labor shal
mot have been in vain.

rRE KICKER.

The frequency with which this
word is used is liable to give the
impression that the kicker is q re-
cent creation. Not SO, however.
The first account which history
gives of this invaluable member of
society is that of Saul, whose pedal
extremities were convicted of in
subordinasion and the descendant
Of Abraham was told that it was
sshard to kick against the pricks." "
For the first few centuries follow
ing this federal headship Of
kickers, the good old Hebrew num-
bered but few followers; in truth,
it was rot until the era Of news
papers that men of refractory
heels multiplied TO an alarming
extent. o. S. Fowler says that if
man have a weak spot in his
head, he is sure to show it in his
heels. While We endorse the state
| ment of the great phrenologist, we
would much prefer saying so by
proxy. Unlike Josh Billings mule,
which had two legs to kick with
and two to walk with, the kicker
has only half the endowment of
| his prototype. His members of
! locomotion, which were originally
but two in number, have lost their
original function and are wholly
swallowed up in the dramatic pas
time of kicking for livelihood.
There is a sense in which kicking
lis lustiiable, as in self-defence, but
for man to kick without any
iprovocation whatever is, to say the
least, useless expenditure of force.
| He infests all classes of society, and
| no organization Is complete that
has not one or more hip-strikers as
honorary members He has been
known to enter the sacred precincts
| of church fair, and by well-di-
rected blow of his unhallowed and
sacrilegious members, kick into
chaos the plans of disinterestcd
benevolence. His office in society
is identical with that of the dead
weight in mechanics; he serves the
purpose of keeping in running
order the social machinery. Much
more could be said in favor of the
lower extremities of the social com.
pact, but We desist.

We ere a queer people. We will
suffer all sorts Of filth to accumu-

foreign emigrants to come among

and then when typhoid fever and
dipi1theria, searlatina and small
pox, yellow fever and cholera in
wade our homes, we bewail the
Providence which brought such
dire suffering upon us. 1t is not
hard to trace cause and effect in
this matter, but the lack of tidi-
ness and a proper regard for sani-
tary measures sometimes prompt
as to charge Divine Providence
with what is due to natural causes
