Baton Rouge Advocate Congress
ma Mills, who aspires to the Speaker
ship Of the Fifty second Congress, with
reasonable hope of winning the prize,
said in a recent interyieW at Washing
ton City that the Democratic party,
when it came into power, would respond
to the demands of the farmers for the
free coinage of silver, but that it is idle
to talk of the ~sub-treasury warehouse
bill, for the Democratic party a never
endorse such a p%aternal and %unconstitu-

Alexandria Times Mr.. Ri%ttenliouse.
speaking for the Alliance, says "if the
Democrats fail to give a greater volume
of currency they will receive the same
kind of punishment in la92"-meaning
as that the Republicans received on the
4th of November. The Times is happy
to cordially endorse this sentiment
that is, if the Democrats have it III
their power to expand the volume of
currency and fail to do so. OF course,
they cannot be held responsible for the
sins of the Republican party. The PEG
| pie demand the unlimited coinage OF
silver, and will be content with moth
ing else. Ii Mr.. Cleveland clings to his
adverse opinion on this question, then
let Mr.. Cleveland be put aside and
some candidate selected whose senti-
ments on the question of finance are in
accord with those of the people and op
posed to the policy of the gold bugs of
Wall street. That the great, body OF
the Democratic party are in favor of the
expansion of the currency, by the coin
age of silver or otherwise, goes without
saying, and the self,styled Democrat
who is not, is sailing under false colors.

Punishment Accepted.

The Rev. William Dow, a good man and
An able minister, having adopted certain
doctriaai opinions which were thought to
be heretical, was called to stand his trial
before the general assembly of the Estab-
lished church of Scotland. Being sure that
he would be deposed from the ministry, he
thus addressed his country congregation
on the Sunday before he went to his trial
HYou all knew that tomorrow leave
this place to go to Edinburgh, and to stand
my trial before the general assembly. The
result know will be that | shall be turned
out of my parish, and that this is the last
time shall address you as your minister.
This you all know.
'tBut there is one thing about myself
which you do not know, but which l will
tell you. When ! first came here to be
your minister found difficulty in obtain
ing house to live in. There was but one
house in the parish could have that was
suitable, and that was inhabited by poor
widow.
II went and offered higher rent for her
house than she paid. She was dispos-
sessed, and got the house. put that poor
woman out of her house then, and hold it
to be righteous thing in God to put me
out of my parish now"
That minister may have been a @heretic,"
but he was Christian with the manliness
to confess his sin and take his punishment
without whining.-Youth's Companion.

A BROADWAY Enisode.

Opposite the Western Union building on
Broadway stands, day in and day out, a
dark complexioned man whose business is
to sell patent garter for men. He wears
knee breeches in order to show how the
garter is adjusted. AS he stands there on
the sidewalk day after day the sight of his
calves have become tolerably familiar
spectacle to the frequenters of lower Broad
way.
Yesterday an old lady who had crossed
over the Cortlandt street ferry came alone
and her attention was at once attracted to
this unusual sight. The man stands on
the inside of the walk, and the old lady,
taking up her stand on the curb, stood
looking at him for time as if transfxed
"For the land sakes!" she finally ex-
claimed, ''if that don't beat anything
ever seed. I thought it was some kind OF
q scandalous sign at first, but may be
blest if it haint a Twin man!'
Going up to the garter man she shook
her umbrella over his head and said:
young Teller, take the advice of wo
man old enough to be your mother, an &C
home an put on some decent clothes Il
you'd cut up any of them monkey shines

widely circulated in New England country

voted for amounted to over thousand.
There were 146 different books receiving
one vote apiece. The ten books which were

Some Odd Ideas of Crime.

Did you ever stop to think of the absurd
ity of this thing we call E'crime against
society" Some one breaks into your
house, steals your money, the savings OF
years, and leaves you helpless. Or some
one gets you to indorse his note, leaves you
to pay it, and ruins you financially. This
is called an offense against society, the man
is dangerous and must be punished and re-
strained. He Is sent to prison for twenty
years-so as to give him ample time to re-
pent-set to work, and the proceeds of his
labor taken by society. Where are you?
You are really the one against whom the
effense was committed=-you are the only
sufferer. Why, then, not let the earnings
Of his labor go to reimburse you?-Kansas
