of their neighbors and Mr.. Harrison
achieved fame in politics. In 1881
General Harrison entered the United
States senate. Mrs Harrison became a
member of a distinguished circle of
wives of senators. In their Washing
ton residence for six years she extend
ed her sDheer of usefulness.
When the family came to the white
house the first break in the circle was
made by the death of Mrs. Russell
Lloyd, Mrs. Harrison'S sister. Before
Mrs. Harrison was taken down with
the grip. which ultimately resulted
fatally, she nursed all the rest of the
family Of little grandchildren.
Her present illness really began on
April 9th after a brilliant reception in
the white house and few friends have
seen her since. Mrs. Harrison was dis
t1nctiyely a domestic wOn'an Her
home and family We're always first in
her thoughts. 1t is said of her that
she was never idle, occupying her spare
moments with embroidery, water col
Ors or china decoration and devoting
considerable time to charities in which
she was always greatly interested.
Her loyalty to old friends never waver-
ed.
In appearance Mrs. HARRISON was the
type of matronly beauty. In figure she
showed generosity of nature, and in
mind her nature was equally benefi-
cent in lavishing a growth of hair sill
vered with the threads of a little over
half a century of life and falling in
curly waves over a well-shaped head,
ending in a graceful coil; regular feat
ures and dark, expressive eyes formed
a picture OF ripened womanhood. She
had a voice softened by instinct, a gen
tie nature, a gift of conversation which,
while animated, was thoughtful. While

How Shall They be Selected.

The Journal publishes a communi-
cation from @. A. Jones, OF Reno,
relative TO tho method OF selecting
delegates to represent the Nevada
Democracy in. the Chicago Conven-
ton. 1t seems that in the western
part Of the State the Democrats are
discussing the advisabilIty of the
State Committee selecting the dele
gates, thus doing away with the
necessity Of holding a State Conveu-
ton for that purpose. The INDIE
PENDENT at this time has no opinion
to express in the matter, but would
like to have the opinion of the Demo
Gratis of the county on the question,
and will gladly publish them.
So fur as we are at present in
formed, We know Of no Democrat in
this county who wishes to 60 as q
delegate. We will advocate the &c.
lectioo OF delegate from this county
providing any Democrat who is sou nd
on the silver question wishes to go as
our representative.
AS the Coulmittes will meet on the
End Of April for the purpose of calling
q State Convention, it will be neces-
Sary for the Democracy to act quickly
90 that the Committee can carry out
their wishes.

The Suez Canal.

The length OF the Suez Canal 10 90
miles; depth 26 feet. and it was thir-
teen years in construction. Tolls
average $4,000 per vessel. Steamers
pass through in forty hours. For
sailing vessels tugs are provided at a
charge oG $1,000 extra. The entire
cost Of eonstruoting the canal was
Ss5, 10000. The British Government
owns oDe. fifth of the shares Of the
canal, having bought 176,6O2 from
Khedivs in is7e, for "a, s76, 900, being
l21z per eent. premium. The coupons
having been out off, the Khedive pays
the interest to 1892. The canal
shortens the voyage between England
and the East by-one third; that is, 1t
enables two vessels TO do the same
work that would require three by the
Cape Of Good Hope iAge Of Steel.

Cheap Money.

Mr.. EDITOR: I will name only
two more failures of important
specie payment banks in proof OF
NV claim "that more loss and mis-
ery have been brought upon people
by the failure of bullion banks and
the collapse of specie payment sys-
TENS than from all cheap money
issues" then, with some comments,
I will dismiss this part OF the
cheap money question.
The City of Glasgow Bank, with
its one hundred and thirty-three
branches, failed in October, 1878,
after a comparatively long life,
leaving its notes unredeemable and
it's deposits unpaid to the amount
of $50, 100000. The loss, though
great. the suffering was greater,
being mental as well as physical.
Again, the Barring Bank failure In
England last year, with haollltles
exceeding $1O5,O00,000, which
would have occasioned much suffer
ing if timely aid had not been rem
dered bv the Bank of England, the
Bank of France and other specie
payment banks, which let the fail
ING bank down easy, and, it is be
lieved, prevented an extensive
money panic which would have in
volved many other banks and busl
ness firms in ruin.
This financial earthquake, al
though slight, shook with ominou
forebodings the bullion banks o
England, France and Germany
and slightly those of America, am
the tremor of that shake is said t
be yet felt in Europe, America
Australia and Asia, and most c
the banks failing since attrlbut
their failure to the Barring fallur
scare, and the Barings attrlbut
their failure to the over issue OF
paper currency in South Amerlc'
Such claims may be urged an
honestly believed by some, but
me it seems weak-only an excus
a scapegoat to hide their own weaf
ness.
If the small amount OF pap'

money issued by Argentine and |
used exclusively there was, as
charged, the cause of the Barring,
the Oriental and other bank
failures, and caused much of
the civilized world to quiver on
the verge of bankruptcy ever since,
what must eventually be the re-
suit, when the immense sums of
paper issues made by Europe and
America demand redemption in
coin, with only one dollar avail
able in coin to redeem many times
it's value in paper? It is mani
festly impossible. 1t is the re-
demption of their own paper that
caused the Barring and other bank
failures, and not the non-redemp-
ton of the Argentine paper cur
rency. 1t is these impossible
redemptions that cause failures of
specie payment banks, and the
bank failures cause the evil and
misery referred to. The seeds OF
death planted in every bullion
is coin redemption, and that is the
weakest point in all specie redemp-
tion banks.
In addition to those failures
have referred to, hundreds and
thousands-no, that number is not
too large-of so-called specie banks
have failed generation after genera;
ton. and scores of the boasted
National Banks of America have
failed, and the seeds of death are
in all the balance some, however
like the City of Glasgow Bank
may live to ripe age.
Thus failures, singly and by th'
score, year after year takes place
J J carrying in their wake bankrupt
cies, shrinkage of values, loss t.
depositors, misery and despair.
|. have now said enough on m.
$ side of this question. We nov
await the answer to show us tina
paper money always drives coli
s. out of a country. We demand tn
o proof that paper money has cause
,t more loss and suffering in the worl
It than the collapse of specie pay
ment systems and failures OF bu
R. lion banks.
