The voice of the democracy of the
Eleventh congressional district has ex-
pressed itself with heartiness of sentl-
ment and sense of appreciation for the
denomination of Congressman Ben T.
Cable. that is highly complimentary to
that gentleman. The counties have all
held their conventions to select delegates
TO the state convention, and while ex.
pressions with reference to the congress
sional nomination were not irrelevant to
the call, they were not wholly contem.
plated. and resolutions have in every
county been adopted endorsing Mr..
Gable, faYoring his denomination and
plecgiDg support of his candidacy. Four
counties held their conventions the past
week-Schuyler, Henderson, Hancock
and Mercer-and in ev,ry case the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Cable was spontaneous,
hearty and enthusiastic. 1t is the voice
of the democracy Of the district, and will
be as it was two years ago. the voice OF

what it Cost. For C,oth,nv

There are no illusions among the mer-
chant taiIors of this country as to whether
the tariff is tax, says the New York
World:
In a petition addressed to congress ask
ing to have the number of suits of clothes
admitted free of duty mited 10 two, for
returning tourists. the tailors say:
Under this ruling it was possible TO
enter free of duty vast quantities of for
eign-made garments which had never
been actually in use, and which we're SO
imported solely because there exists
Q relative difference of at .esst
90 per cen. in values between the
cost of made-up garments in
the United States and E Irope which diff
ference has been further enhanced by
certain other provisions under the tariff
on wooden cloths of the act of Oct. l,
1890. as aforesaid, thus saving to the
purchaser OF garments abroad more than
one half eff their actual value upon arri-
val within the United States duty free.
Everyone who has bought clothing
abroad knows this to be true And vet
the paid orators of pro ection of the Kos
well G Horr stamp, and dishonest repub
,ican newspapers, parade the low prices
of American shcddy ad swe6tshop
clothing as evidence that clothing is as
cheap here as it is in England
ANY man of common sense knows that
the duty of 493 cents pound and so per
cent of value levied on wooden clothing
by the abominsbe NJ, Krnley tariff must
euh ince its cost. Our merchant tailors
admit that when returning tours,
brings home suit of clothing without,
paving duty he saves more than one
half oflits actual value"

Fortune telling by means of the finger
nails, onychomancy, rs it was called, was
common in ancient times The practice
was to rub the nails with oil and SCOT or
wax and to hold up the nails thus prepared
against the sun, and upon the transparent
horny substance were supposed to appear
figures or characters, which gave the an

tle have been found projecting by means of
the nails of the fingers and telling the dis

lions of the nails. Worcester Light

Initiating the Music of a Cascade.

Certain tribes on the Amazon have been
fascinated by the music of the waterfall.
Musical instruments were found in use
among them consisting of a complicated
mechanism by which water was poured
from one bowl into another, in imitation
Of the cascade, and then returned by the
receiving bowl into the vessel which had
poured it, so that by repetition of this
mechanism constant murmur of n cas-
oade could be kept up so long as the audi

form it.-Good Words

WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD MONEY.

WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD MONEY.
In an elaborate editorial on the
above subject in the American Bank
er Of January 80, we find the follow
ing:
We think we can demonstrate in the light Of
past and present experience that the one essen
tial element which must enter into good money,
ls the confidence Of the people who accept it In
exchange for goods, labor, or any other thing Of
value. BY way Of illustration, taking the various
forms OF currency issued by the United States to-
day, we nnd that Sl6 millions Of notes-com-
monty called "greenbacks" freely pass from
hand to hand, although 1t is known that246 mil
lions Of these could not be redeemed In coin II
the whole were presented to-day for payment;
again, about 40 millions, more or less, Of ma
tional bank currency have but about six mil
lions Of lawful money deposited In the United
States treasury for their redemption, so that In
two issues alone we have over 400 millions Of un-
covered paper money freely circulating through.
out the land, without dollar In the treasury
now for their redemption, yet eq7al In purchaS
Ing power, dollar for dollar, to any gold piece
bearing the government imprint, Further than
this there are In circulation also silver certia.
Gates to the amount Of say 300 million dollars
more, secured by the deposit of silver coins
iU0rth, actually, Il melted, only rs cents on each
dollar piece, Is It to be supposed for an instant
that these various forms Of money would be &C
cepted at current rates Of purchasing power,
we're It not for the confidence Of the public In
the ability Of the issuing party ultimately to re-
deem the entire issue at full par value? The re-
verse Ct this proposition Is proved BY the facts
Of the financial history Of this country, which
show the varying rates below par, at which cur
rency issued by state banks before the war
circulated; the heavy discount, varying from
say 12 per cent. to 80 per cent. also at which
United States legal tender notes were accepted
by the people during the war. when the black
shadow OF doubt as to the ultimate result Of the
mighty struggle overcast the clear sky Of conf.
dence, and how for thirteen long years after the
close Of this struggle, lack Of faith In the ability
Of the nation to redeem It's large and various
