STAND BY IT'S ELF.

The policy given out as contemplated
by the more strenuous advocates OF free
silver coinage at Washington, of putting
their measure as tag on appropriation
bills and insisting upon their mutual
fate, is of doubtful expediency. AS arule.
every important legislative measure
should stand by itself. The pooling
system in legislation is very prolific
source of corruption. Free coinage is
one of the most important questions of
financial policy, and should be consid-
cred and determined solely upon its
merits. Possibly there may be some
magnifying of its effects upon the
one side or the other. but it
has assumed a position in the public
thought that entities it to distinctive
consideration. 1t is desirable to have
it out of the way before the presiden-
tial contest, as it has in it the seeds of
discomfort and internal mutation for
both parties. In the next electoral col
lege there will be IA votes, and the
Democrats must have at least 223 of
them. Should all the states vote in
1892 as they did in 1888, the Democrats
would have ia and the Republicans
27O. But add New York and Indiana
to the states the Democrats had in the
last presidential election and they come
in safely with 225, leaving the Republi-
cans PIG. Of course the Republicans
will not, as the outlook now is. be very
much in the fight, but the Eastern states
are opposed to unrestricted coinage;
and, with the question prominent in the
campaign, New York, New Jersey and
all the new converts in the East might
backslide. Possibly their places would
be filled by others in the West; but the
best guessers now on duty cannot afford
much confidence as to the precise effect
this issue would have in the final result.

SOME RICH PEOPLE.

The wealth of prominent women in
New York has come up again for com
ment and discussion, and the usual
statements and misstatements have
been made.

Roberts down for S10,000,000; Mrs. P.
Nelson, $5,O0e,O00; Mrs. Hicks Lord,
S., 600. 600: Mrs. William Lynch. $40, 000.-
600; Mrs. W. 81. Vanderbilt, $50, 000, 600;
Mrs. August Belmont, $4,000, 900 and
Mrs. Hetty Green, SAC, 000,000
Everybody knows that Mrs. Nelson,
Mrs. Lynch, Mrs. Roberts and the others
mentioned are very rich women. But
with the exception of Mrs. Hetty Green
all the fortunes are I'm QueStiOnably
overestimated.
Mrs. Astor is put down for $50, 00O, 600,
when probably she has not more than
0pe-half that amount.
John D. Rockefeller's gift of 81, soc. 900
to the Chicago university is being paid
in installments of 100000 each thirty
days. l am told on nearly direct au-
thority that the Oil millionaire said re-
Gently to President Hopper, of that in
stitution, who has spoken of his gift as
munihcent: 'Oh. it is nothing COM
pared with what | intend to do, as
have only just begun to make money!"
As he is rated as Observation-Disclosures
his remark that he has only just begun
to make money will sound queerly on
many ears. By the way, Chicagons are
anxious that the institution he has so
richly endowed already shall not be
termed the Baptist university. Or even
Baptist university. because they declare
that its disasters heretofore have been
largely due to its rigid sectarianism. I
fancy that Mr.. Rockefeller, who is a
close communion Baptist, will do as he
pleases about having the university adj
vertised as university, with or with
out identification with his church.

who ''sees in his own house at home

undoubtedly the normal state of child

elder daughter child of eleven, was
sent down, no doubt proudly, to pay
the hostess. Miss Nora had keen,
pale face and a wonderfully fluent
tongue. She explained and apologized
for her coming. and then set to work to
entertain us according to her lights. She
produced a photograph album and
showed US, with running comments, the

Miss Boyer to Fulfill an Engage.
ment Made Ten Years Ago.

Pittsburg Press.
Frank johnson, a telegraph operator.
who came to PittSburg from Chicago
last spring, has returned to his native
city to fulfill marriage engagement
which was made ten pears ago. The
lady of his choice is Emma Boyer. a
weil-known music teacher of the Lake
City. Both are about thirty-two years
of age.
When their enga cement was first
made Miss Boyer's ia Their interposed an
objection. Words led to blows, and a
fight took place, which resulted in the
death of Mr.. Boyer.
Johnston was tried and acquitted on
the ground of self-defense. He at
tempted to effect reconciliation with
the murdered mans daughter, but she
refused to marry her fathers slayer.
They have seldom met since then, and
when they did there was no recog-
milton.
Last spring Johnston came to Pitts
burg. In December he visited his for
mer home, and met Miss Boyer at the
home of a friend. They greeted each
other in friendly way, and the en-
gagement which had been broken ten
years ago was renewed.
Before leaving Pittsburg Johnston
said the marriage would take place this
evening, after which the couple will
come East.

tary WINDOWS view of the relation of
an Official to the newspaper press was
that the newspapers represented the
people. and that 1t was his duty as
public officer to give them what infor-
nation he could. But beyond the mere
question of duty was courtesy of man
ner and personal friendship which the
newspaper men will always cherish in
pleasant remembrance.
