THE SENATE AND CLEVELAND.
GLOW about the charge that the
democratic senators are working
against Cleveland?"
''lt is false, and every democrat who
repeats it is helping the republicans.
OF course the enemy want all the inter
nal dissension and distrust in our ranks
that is possible, but the democrat who
falls into the trap is not intelligent.
"Ihcre is some feeling among demo-
cratic senators as to Cleveland's silver
letter. Ii was ill-timed, unnecessary
and ought never to have been written.
We were just emerging from this terri
had beaten it with the help of the free
coinage republicans. OF ourselves we
could do nothing, for while every
democrat did all in his power, free
coinage of silver was the lever that say
ed us. just as we came out of that
fight, and were beginning to breathe
freely, and while free coinage was be-
fore the house, Mr.. Cleveland struck
silver a blow which staggered his best
friends and elated his enemies.
"The incense-burners now talk
about the Barons' and swing their cen
sors before Cleveland as the only hon
est man in public life. / do not hold
Mr.. Cleveland responsible for this, but
L think the party generally appreciates
what 'the Barons' did in defeating the
force bill, and especially what was
done by those splendid republicans
who defied administration and caucus
at the call of duty.
''In voting for free coinage we were
just as honest as Mr.. Cleveland in
opposing it, and the sooner the misera-
BILE stuff about senatorial dictation is
stopped the better it will be for truth
and decency.

County Roads.

The question of public road improve
ment has assumed national Importance,
and surely when one looks around at
the state of the roads he cannot regret
that the people arc aroused on the sub
ject. In fact, they have been too long
indifferent and the awakening now is a
harbinger of better times for both man
and beast.
Is it too much to say that our country
is more backward in its civilization on
the state of its public highway than in
almost any other direction? We have
gone along and built great cities, and
developed in various ways.
But what of our country, roads? Let
every farmer look about him and con-
slider how his means of wagon trans
portation has been for the last few
months. Must he not say, as he sur
veys the facts, that he has been prac-
tically shut out from his nearest town
by reason of impossible roads? AS a
rule the country roads have been in
such abominable shape that man
could not walk comfortably to the
nearest village and the idea of going
there with n loaded two-horse wagon
was thing not to be thought of.
Besides the discomfort and incon-
venience of such roads, the farmer is
often shut out from q good market In
this way farmers annually lose large
sums of money. When their products
are commanding a price they find that
it is of no avail to them, for the reason
that they cannot haul their produce TO
the railaoad.
As farmers we go on,year after year,
seeing the same muddy roads, and
reaping the same discomfort from them,
and experiencing the same yearly loss,
but to what proiitP 1t would seem that
we are not willing to take lessons of
experience. But why should we not?
Is it not the part of rational beings to
do SOP
1t seems to us that every farmer
ought to resolve with himself and
covenant with his neighbor to the end
that the public roads shall be improved.
There is money and comfort in hav-
ing county roads that are at all times
passabls. The sooner the public be-
come interested in good roads and will
have them, the better it will be for all
concerned.
But the farmers are not alone inter-
ested in the public road question. The
merchants of our cities as well should
lend their influence to this end Their
country trade during certain months is
largely cut off by bad roads. They too
should take n lively interest in the sub
ject of public road improvement.-Ex.

Malay Monkeys.

only once saw a.specimen of the sia-
mang in captivity, at the house of a
Malay chief at Sirdang. 1t was about
three feet high, but the stretch of its
arms was over FIVE feet. A sad looking,
depressed creature it seemed as IL moved
awkwardly about the floor, tripping it
self up with its own arms; but once
among the raftHs of the roof 1t moved
with the agility Of spider. OF its gi-
gantic relative, the orang-utan, I am
able to give but few particulars.
But may at least observe that it, is
rather ludicrous to any one who has a
smattering of the Malay tongue to see
him so frequently styled orang-utang,
which signifies literally ga man in debt"
utang being in Malay "debt," while
"utan" is "forest" or jungle. But al
ways found this name incomprehensible
to the Deli Malays, whose name for the
animal is "mowas." The Samaritan
species appears to be totally different in
its habits from that of Borneo, which
approaches human dwellings, and even
plumbers gardens. In Deli, at all events.
1t inhabits only the densest rattan
swamps, of such a nature that any at
tempt at observation of its habits would
be impossible, and it makes off instantly

Merchants, of all men, appreciates quail
ties which bring success-tact, energy.
courage, industry, quickness and a readi-
ness In suiting means to ends. An ex-
change prints story which maly be new
or old, truth or fiction, but which is not
incredible in itself, while it illustrates in
striking way the spirit and meiShod of
born man of business. A country boy
went to New York, with no friends and
little money, determined to max his way
in the world. In the course of his looking
about he wandered into "lower Wall
street." and walked into the store of W
& Co. Mr.. W was busy and the boy
waited. At last the frank, bright face OF
| the stranger attracted the merchants at
| tention.
"Well. my boy" said he. "What can I
| do for you"
81 want place, sir.
"What can you doW
The boy answered eagerly:
"'Most anything, SIR"
Partly in joke, perhaps, and partly to
| rid himself of an almost too confident ap-
plicant, Mr.. W said:
"Ah, ahi Well, just go out and borrow
| me a couple of Thousand dollars"
The lad put on his hat walked out of
| the store, and passed slowly down Front
| street till he came to another large store
| in the same line of business. This firm
was probably well acquainted with W
& Co., the boy said to himself, and with a
bold but honest look he walked in and 40
costed the man who seemed to be the head
of the concern;
| "Mr. W, of W s. Co., sent me
to borrow $1,000" said he.
HE did, my sons How is business up
at your placef"
The boy, who had seen an appearance of
large shipments, answered promptly;
Every good, SIR"
1.-TWO thousand, did you say3 Will that
be enough~
"Well, two thousand is all he told me,
but If you have plenty think he would
like it If you sent him three thousand"
"Give this boy check for s., 900 In favor
! of W 81 Co.," said the man to his
cashier.
A few minutes later the boy walked into
| Mr.. VS. Office and handed him the
| check.
| Here it is, sir" said he, with an air of
having done an errand in the ordinary
course of business
Mr.. W looked at the check and then
at the boy

you are just the man I have been looking
for" and he gave him desk and set him
