OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
Opinions Differ :S to the A ciinu of Mr.
Cicvrland's Views on the SiI-
YER Question.

New York, Feb. 12.-The Sun will
tomorrow print editorially this:
Mr.. Cleveland's letter to the all
ii silver mass meeting at the Coop
er Union is as disingenious and
amazing a document as has recently
proceeded from his industrious pen.
While primarialy intended for the
placation of his mugwump friends,
who have been inconvenently per
sistent in their demands that Mr..
Cleveland dare to be a Daniel on
the silver question. the letter squints
at the southern and western demo-
Gratis. The peril in Mr..
Cleyelands present view, is not in a
liberal extension of the silver cur
rency,for we have demonstrated the
usefulness of such increase. 1t is
in free. unlimited and independent
coinage that he snuffs disaster. Who
demonstrated the usefulness of such
an increase? True to the last to his
destiny, Grover Cleveland dares on
ly to be stuffed Daniel on the sill
yer question
a MAN OF COURAGE.
Philadelphia. Feb, 12.-The Times
tomorrow under the caption, "A
Man of Courage" will say: There
is one man whose name will 60 into
history as the heroic statesman of
his age; one man who dared to be
right and to speak for the right even
at the cost of political success. In
1887 Grover Cleveland dared every
thing to rescue the people from the
most wanton taxes upon the wages
for the benefit of few privileged
classes. 1t cost him the presidency
but his teaching has triumphed by
the largest popular majority of
American history. There was no
special need for Grover Cleveland to
speak on the silver issue beyond the
inspiration of heroic manhood. but
he would cease to be Grover Cleve
land who left tie presidency proud
of defeat, if he had not spoken on
free silver when opportunity pre-.
sented.

After the Apples.

A gentleman who some years ago had
occasion to take long journey through
the Caucasus was accompanied by ser
want and a guide, who told him many
stories of the country-stories Of danger
and peril in that bear frequented forest
land. Once Stepan, the guide, and q
friend of his had observed an apple tree
well laden with fruit, some seven or
eight yersts from their village in the for
est. 1t stood unclaimed of man, almost
the only relic of some prosperous fischer
kess village. Stepan and his friend ar
ranged to meet at the tree one morning
early and share the fruit.
When Stepan came near the tree he
saw some one already engaged in throw
ing the apples down. Thinking his
friend was trying to steal a march on
him, the irate Stepan heaped all manner
OF abuse on him, and at last. getting no
answer, fairly yelled with rage. and he
gan to throw things into the tree.
Then the shower of apples ceased. and
with a grutf snort huge old bear came
toInohng out Of the tree, almost on top
Oh the terrified villager. As usual in
such cases, Bruin was quite as much
heightened as the man, and shambled off
as quickly as possible, leaving the apples

just before him she sat
With monstrous great hat
On her head, quite obscuring the stage.
He twisted and turned
Till with anger he burned,
AND each moment augmented his rage
In despair, then, at last
Half the evening had passed
Leaning forward, he whispered quite low:
Wont you take OFF your hat?
/ can't see what they're at
On the stage" But she shook her head, "Sol'
Then he had bright thought
Some by instinct are taught
And he put his own hat on his head.
In an instant behind
Him came murmurs unkind-
shoot the haiti" Take that hat OFF, they said
Their expressions were blunt,
And the lady in front
For she thought that, of course, they meant her.
With rosy red face,
And exceeding bad grace,
Dotted her hat without further demur.
MORAL.
The moral is plain:
Your point you may gain
Sometimes in a roundabout way.
And this moral, too,
Comes clearly to view:
Never wear q big hat to the play.

TREASURY HARD UP.
Less Than S1,000,000 Available
at Washington City.
CAUSED BY BOND REDEMPTION
Nearly 100000 Pensioners-A Big In
crease for the Year-Twenty-
Three From the Revolution.

WARRINGTON CRY, Sept. 4.-Less than 81. OOO,-
600 in currency available for business in the
vaults OF the treasury at Washington City il the
condition that confronted the treasury officials
today. IN the sub-tTeasury at New York there
is $5,O00OJO In currency, and in the various sub
treasures $4,5D0,000 more, making in all slO5O1-
COO in currency. There is now in course of re-
demptiOn s., 10000 i'll currency, which makes a
grand total of sl3,0lO0C0 in currency. The net
balance as shown by the treasury statement is
Si5,0J0,000. Included in this is 100000 in
bank repositories and sl7,O00,000 in subsidiary
silver, leaving the available balance, as stated,
between Sl3,0O,0O0 and 100000. This state
ment does not include s10O, 10000 gold reserve,
which Secretary Foster has stated at various
times he could use in case of necessity; nor does
1t include gold and silver coin in the treasury
1t includes currency available for current de-
mands. It'll stated on good authority that dur
Ing the present week the treasury officials have
had TO "hustie" TO get together sufficient cur
rency to meet demand drafts, and where prac-
ticable, drafts have been drawn on the sub
treasury at New York to avoid curtailing the
small currency balance in the treasury depart
ment Money has also been transferred by ex-
press and telegraph to points removed from the
sub-treasury to meet urgent demands, as the
treasury could not AFFORD to have funds remain
idle at small points.
This ''cramp" for currency is brought abont
by the redemption of ~ per cent. bonds, more
than Sle,000,00O of which have been redeemed
during the present month, and also to the fall
ing of OF customs receipts, which show a de-
crease OF 80 per cent. during the present month
over the same month last year. Pension nav
ments have also figured in reducing the avail
able currency, $4,000 having been paid out
on this account. There now remains
but 100000 OF ~ per cent. bonds to
be either redeemed or continued, and when
these are disposed of II is thought the available
currency in the treasury will rapidly increase
Of the 100000 OF az per cent bonds IL is be-
lieved that about $4,000 will be presented for
redemption While the treasury department is.
therefore, at this time having a tight time To
md currency to transact business, the pressure,
however, viii soon be removed, and matters will
move along as smoothly as they have for some
time past.
