RANDOLPH, Feb 23, 1890.

Mr.. EDITOR: In my last article it should
read. at the door of Congress-
The next step made by the bondholders was
to get congress to pass the refunding act of
July IA, 1870. 1 quote from the record of an en-
inent statesman, who said in speech in the U
8. Senate: "The motive which prompted this
legislation has never yet been fully exposed. 1t
has always been held up in the innocent guise
of an attempt to reduce the rate of interest. 1t
was in fact, however, the offspring OF an ap-
prehension remaining in certain minds even
after the act of March, 1859. that the work of
repudiating the contract for the payment of the
5-20 bonds might not be quite complete and
final. These bonds were outstanding, and al
though the law of their payment had just been
repealed, yet their holders feared that the peo-
pie might sooner or later in turn repeal the
faithless act of March, 1869. and declare for the
payment of these original bonds according to
the original contract"
by q sort of moral forgery on the American
people, the refunding act provides for the issue
of new bonds to the amount of ST, sou 0O0 03O,
with an agreement for coin payment written on
their face; and then further provides that these
new coin bonds shall be substituted for the orig
inal 5-2o bonds-one in exchange for the other,
dollar for dollar.'
this law, 200, OCO.OO0 were to be at per
cent 300 600 oOO at Al per cent. and 1.GO0000.C00
at per cedt. This was a small gain to the peo-
ple but trining when compared to the great
loss suffered by them on the whole transaction.
but here we quote from one who stood high as
a statesman: How is 1t to be supposed that
the holders of the $40, 6 per cent bonds would
surrender them voluntarily in exchange Tor
bonds of less rate of interest unless they knew
they were getting bonds of higher value, and
were to reap substantial advantage by the op-
Grafton. The archives of history may be ran
sacked in vain to find a single instance where
monied investment relinquished without COM
pulsion a superior for inferior security.
Such thing was never known and meyer will
be''
The pondholder. having come off triumphant
in getting legislation for his interest still is not
satisfied. He no longer fears the payment of
his bonds in what by some was familiarly call
ed rags a term applied to the greenback

CLEVELAND, March 3, 1890.

THE reception given last week to the delegates
Of the International Am erican Congress, by ex-
Senator and Mrs. John B. Henderson, was one
of the most notable social events of the season
IN Washington. The occasion was the first
opening to the world of their princely home
just completed. Boundary Ca>tle,' built in
Normandy style, and furnished in Moorish
commands fine view of the entire city. Here
Senators, Judges of the Supreme Court, and
members of .he diplomatic corps gathered to
honor the Pan-American guests. The supper
represented the caterers most sumptuous art;
coffee, bouillon. and lemonade flowed freely,
but no wines nor liquors were offered. This
and the reception at Mr.. Studeb .ker's fore
shadow the social entertainments of the future
in the great free America that is to be, when
the liquor traffic shall have gone the way of the
slave traffic Then the ban of ou,lawry will be

will be. with no flavor or fever of intoxicants

We regard wealth as the road to our
highest hopes.
Competition lowers all profits, and
he who can buy his goods so low as to
fear nobody, gains the great point, and
becomes the leader in his vicinity.
There is certain amount of goods
consumed, and the consumer will seek
the cheapest place, as naturally as wa
ter runs down hill. If the buyer finds
poor goods no cheaper than good ones,
how quickly he goes for the better
grade!
We therefore say, in our stock, on
our connters, you will fiud onlv first
class goods-no Jew goods-no Shod-
dy-no cheap stuff, to catch the eye.

ROYAL ARCANUM!
Reception sai Banquet!
A Brilliant Affair."!
RAvENNA COUNCIL NO,976
Entertain a Large Assemblage of
Invited Guests in the perfect
manner of Royal Order.

The Reception and Banquet given by Ravenna
Council No. 375, Royal Arcanum, Friday eve
ming, was Que of the finest social events in the
annals of our city. 1t was brilliant, admirably
conducted, everyone being delightfully."- lat
home, and the entire evening was a pleasure
experience each moment laden with some en-
joyment as if the patron saint of such occasions
had entered into special covenant with each
participant that only the widest bounds should
enclose the measurement of his evenings enjoy
ment. 1t was unquestionably the most note
worthy occasion in the experience of the Royal
Arcanum of this city, and one that reflects the
highest credit upon the members of that pros
porous Society. The Royal Arcanum has ever
enjoyed an enviable reputation for the magnifi-
cence and thorough preparation of its entertain
ments, and the one Friday evening was charac-
teristic, and cannot fail to extend the influence
and usefulness of Ravenna Council.
One of the bright features of the evenings
entertainment was the presence of SO large a
number of lady guests, which gave charm to
the occasion attained in no other way. In
glancing over the assemblage one could not fail
to discover at once the secret of inspiration
which depicted itself on the countenances of the
speakers, and rounded their utterances with the
beauty OF true oratory. The success of the en-
tertainment was evidenced alone in the honored
presence OF these fair guests, who could not Ii
they would escape the silent compliment of ad-
miring eyes, and to whose beauty, vivacity and
accomplishments the brilliancy of the occasion
was due. Ravenna may well take modest pride
in her fair daughters, and judging from the
scene here presented. to say that lady is Ra'
vennian is equivalent to saying that she is
beautiful.
Fully $50 guests assembled in the spacious
and handsome Lodge room of the Iron Hall
to listen to the initial part of the program there
rendered. After an overture by Max Fischer 5
Orchestra, of Cleveland, Past Regent A, E
Seaton delivered brief and appropriate address
of Welcome. Regent L. A. Smith introduced
Grand Regent E. T. Nelson, of Delaware, Ohio
whose remarks were confined mainly to fact:
connected with the Royal Arcanum.
AT the conclusion of the Grand Regents re,
marks the assemblage was invited to the ban
orchestra, who regaled them with fine selection:
as they took their seats around the tables, 22l
guests being seated. After invocation of Divine
blessing, by Rev. H. P. Barnes, of Alliance, the
splendid supper was served by Braklow Bros.
