II is with great interest that read
the communications in your paper on

questions OF the day When mankind
was content TO be slaves. a. mattered

something higher and nobier As a So
luton 10 this question ] submit the fol-
lowing, and to make it plain will give
an illustration:
Harrison County Tex. issued $50. 600
in bonds 70 build a court house: said
bonds run for thirty years at six per
cent which is s.. 900 per year; thirty
years interest would be $40 900 we pay.
and still owe the principal. $50 000 In
dividuals bought these bonds at par
OF course they considered the invest
ment good Now suppose the law
was so we could have depos T.
ed those bonds with the United
States Treasurer. and receive
Rreenbacks for them 1.-TWO per cent in
terest which would be 81 600 per year
In thirty years $50 600, a difference OF
500, 900. 30 it is plainly 20 be seen that
u two OF the SIX per cent went Tor in
terest and four per cent Tor a sinking
fund, we could pay the principal and
Interest in thirty years and have Sia.-
600 to pay expenses with This plan
locks TO me like a wheel within
wheel. and The Government would need
no other source OF revenue forever
Incorporated cities and counties in

A LARGE AUDIENCE

At she Lecture East Might at che Hy-
 perion Dy Past Grand Master
 wheeler.
 Hon. William L. Wheeler entertained . large and enthusiastic audience at the Hype- rion last evening, where he delivered his fne illustrated lecture on tho history and progress of odd Fellowship. MT. Wheeler is past grand master of the I. o. O. F. of New Jersey. There were nearly one hun- dred stereopticon views, many of them of high order of merit. The lecturer frst spoke of Rome, the eternal city, where, as he re. marked, tradition says Odd Fellowship first had its orign. According to tradition In the year TO Titus Cesar, who was then emperor, gave them their name because of their odd notions and because they recognized each other by night as we'll as day. From there the order extended to London. Early In the seventeenth century parties of English workmen met to. gether after their days labor for conyivial purposes, and from their interest in each other and desire to help each other in sick. mess and distress sprang this great order of Odd Fellowship. At Baltimore tho first lodge of Odd Fellows In America was founded with i've members. The growth and prosperity of this great order, the prejudice 1t had to overcome on account of foreign origin and the noble work 1t has accomplished were eloquently portrayed by the speaker. Hr. Wheeler was introduced to the audience by Mr. D. R. filling.
