II is an exceedingly nimble fellow citizen
that ever gets the advantage of Mr.. Jay
Gould. And yet have myself on two occa-
sions seen him, in a sense, at the mercy of
the most God forssken of human beings.
One was quite recent. whsn on walking from
his Office Co his home, as 10 his custom for
exercise being for n moment without the e.
cort of young George Gould, who had halted
to speak to q friend, he was go importuned,
hustled and extensively pushed to the wall By
a foul old beggar woman, evidently having
no idea who the little big man was, that TO
rid himself of the bag he pumped a pretty
heavy. piece of coin into her rheumy and
trembling hand. The other was the most
remarkable Dives Lazarus scene ever ex-
pect to look upon; one strong, unexPscted
and dramatic enough for great situation In
fiction or upon the stage. IL occurred In the
summer of 1882, in the open upper, or La
Sale street, rotunda of the Grand Pacific
hotel in Chicago. There was then In that
city, IL he is not still living, venerable old
wreck, most familiar figure about the
streets, whom every one knew as "Uncle Ba-
kerr His story briefly was that, once q
merchant of Cattaraugus, New York, the
financial troubles of '57 had nearly ruined
him: he had transferred the remnant of his
fortune 10 daughters who at once became an
other Regan and Goneril: and the old man,
half demented at their base ingratitude,
shortly became a confirmed tramp about the
streets of Chicago. "Uncle Baker," with
hands folded p.aintiyely in front Of him,
with bowed head and trembling gait, seemed
never at rest. at all hours of the day and
night you would meet him. pushing on and
ever on, as If endlessly studying that one
problem of flial ingratitude. He never
begged. He was never known to utter an
ungentlemanly word. Liquor never passed
his lips. A few Of us, touched by his pa

mond, Mobile and half dozen other consid-
cradle cities and buy as best they may. The
wholesalers sell on ninety days credit, and If
one merchant does not offer fair prices they
await the coming of others. Nobody's
profits are extraordinarily large, but those of
the southern retailer are probably the best.
As estimated by the secretary Of the treas
ury the revenues of the present fiscal year are
expected to be 1886, ,0e0 900, and the e1pend-
itures, including the sinking fund of $49, ,00e,-
600, are placed at $342, ,a71, 900. The estimated
reduction of revenue by the Mckinley bill is
at least fifty millions, and the increase Of
pension expenditure by the legislation of this
congress over the treasury estimate is more
than fifty millions. Making the necessary
reduction of the revenue and increase of the
expenditure, therefore, we have the former
1886, 100000 and the latter $392, ,000, 900.
Instead of the customary surplus there will
be deficit of s57, ,000, 900, or If the sinking
fund payment is not reckoned as a necessary
expense. deficit of ss,ooo,ooo. .
The RAILROAD Gazette shows that the track
built in the United States this year up te
July amounts to 1900 miles, as compared
with /, ,4s0 miles during the first half of 1889
and 1t is predicted, with considerable eau
tion, however, that the total for the year viii
exceed 5000 miles. The southern
States east of the Mississippi leai

for the last two years, the new road bull
in that locality 80 far being "a per cent. o

Territories have this year built 10 per cent
of the total. Georgia leads all the State
this year, with 1873 miles. The northwestern
States, where for a number of years tn
greatest activity prevailed. have built but L
per cent. of the total mileage for the frs
half of 1890, and during 1889 built but 1
per cent. of the whole. The chief charac

The Fish Ponds.

Mr.. Rily Miller favored us with a call
Wednesday and would like to have us
give notice to those interested that he
will drain his fish ponds on next Tues
day, April %, at 2 p. m. This is for the
purpose of removing his carp, which are
soon to spawn, to seperate ponds. The
sight will well repay for trip to the
ponds. Mr.. Miller this week received a
consignment of speckled catfish, from
East Tennessee, which he considers q
valuable addition to his fish family. In
speaking Of the care OF fish, Mr.. Miller
states that while most OF the waters Of
this country are 80 abundantly stocked
with insect life that fish will do well with
out feed, yet they will repay good care
just as sure as other lines Of stock.
Last season he fed one pond regularly
twice q day and in fall noted the result.
They were at least one-third heavier
than those receiving the usual care.

Citizens Meeting,

At the citizens meeting Wednesday
evening, the committee appointed at a
previous meeting to devise means for
the advancement OF the interests OF
Rapid City. reported in favor OF build
ing q railroad and that it should be
built from this city both east and west
and that a company should~be incorpo-
rated at once for that purpose. While
the citizens have undertaken to shoulder
a big load, there is no doubt but that
the effort is in the right direction, and
particularly so with regard to a Hills
road. Ii the Rapid City, Harney Peak
and South Western could be built, east
ern connections would follow.

SILVER CONFERENCE
The Conferees Do Not Come to
an Understanding.
DEMOCRATS OF PENNSYLVANIA
Adopt q Strong Platform and DenOunce Quay
and Refer to His REGULATIONS
While in Office.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-The conferees on
the silver bill met this morning and spent
an hour discussing the differences be-
tween the two houses They separated at
noon having cone to no conclusion. 1t is
said there were three propositions pre-
sented for consideration. The confeIeeS
adjourned TIC meet tomorrow. The House
conferees brought TO the meeting copy of
the bill as it passed that body and this
formed the basis of whatever discussion
took place. A great portion OF the time
was spent in general talk upon the sub
iect. No definite proposition was before
them. The conference was satisfactory in
its tone and tendency to the members.
The National American Woman Suffrage
association, through Jane H. Spoffard, its
treasurer, and the National Women's Chris
tian Temperance union, through Adam Bit
tenbender, superintendent of legislation and
petitions, called upon the President to-
day and asked him 10 sign the bill provid-
ing for the admission of Wyoming on the
Fourth of July. The Wyoming bill pro-
vides for political equality without dis
tinction to sex and the advocates of
woman's suffrage say that they desire to
celebrate the Fourth of July in honor of this
beginning of the republic in connect on
with the event for which the day is al
ready COMMUNICATED. 1t is the intent III
to have the Wyoming and Idaho bill sent
to Cape May Point, where the President
will pass the Fourth, and request him to
sign them there
