WHERE ARE TIE PROOFS .

The Portland Oregonian declares
that in Missouri, North Carolina and
Alabama society is still organized upon
the simple basis of agriculture and
barter, is of low grade of intelligence,
| and is of coarse habits and brutalzed
manners. 1t says:
! Men sent to Congress from such com
munities naturally represent the eco
nonic darkness and limited intelligence
Of their constituents. They know nothing
| OF the practical laws OF trade and money,
because the States they live in have
scarcely risen out of the primitive stage
Of barter. They know nothing of the
lessons of history, because they read
neither textbooks nor literature Their
undeveloped minds are a blank upon
| which cheap prophets and teachers of the
populist school may work any arrant
economic nonsense with the assurance
that it will be echoed with the parrot
fidelity OF pure ignorance.
Both the Missouri Senators, as we'll as
Representative Bland, are of this class.
Vance, of North Carolina, and Morgan,
Of Alabama, are of the same type Con-
gressmen from Arkansas, Mississippi,
Tennessee, though less noisy, are not
much better intellectual material.
Very few Southern papers have con-
descended to reply to this TRADE OF
ignorant misrepresentation, but the St.
Louis Republic responds in this pointed
fashion:
We are willing to learn our short
cOmings. We will read the lines and be-
tween the lines of any chapter in Ameri-
can history which will show that the
representatives OF the West and South
at any period have been, in the grasp OF
economic principles and administration,
inferior to the representatives of any
other sections.
We would like to see any chapter OF
impartial history which will not show in
the public men of the West and South q
superior mastery of the art OF equitable
government.
We would like to see any two Republic
cans from Oregon who can meet Vest
and Vance before a miscellaneous audi
ence, or a select committee, and debate
any question.
We would like to see any Western or
Southern newspaper which can as thor
Oughly convict itself of historical ignor-
ance, low social instinct and provincial
bigotry os the Oregonian has done for its
editor in the above passage.
This is very neat, but the reproduc-
ton OF the Oreg0nian's remarks,
without a word of comment, would
punish that paper as severely as it
deserves. 1t is not likely that its
| Oregon readers endorse It's sentiments
| and statements Constitution

The news reaches us that the New
York banks now have more money
than they know what to do with.
Some of them are retiring their Circu-
lation and Withdrawing their bonds.
So much gold is in circulation that in
the daily settlements from 81, 900, eco
to $4,000, 900 is Carted around from
one bank to another. Think II it,
money getting SO plentiful IN New
York that the banks are put - i!.Sir
wits ends to know what to Go with
it. That is too bad and mus; place
the poor fellows in an awkward and
embarrassing situation, in the face Of
surrounding circumstances and con-
ditions. 1t is bad enough to be
troubled with a superabundanCe OF
cash 1--WE SUPPOSE and when this
happens upon the heels of all the talk
of these bankers that the country was
swiftly and surely going to the devil
unless the Sherman law was repealed
inasmuch as all the good money gold
was being driven out of the country
and would never come back as long as
this miserable makeshft" remained
in force and effect, confronted now as
they are by such condition and
not theory it makes their plight al
the more ridiculous and pitiable. We
tender the New York bankers oul
distinguished consideration and pro.
found sympathy.

RUTH AND ESTHER.
The President and Mrs. Cleyei


The President and Mrs. Cleveland
have decided to call their youngest
daugher Esther, a name which means
6: a STAR and "good fortune Little
Esther was born on Saturday the 9th,
the day before the beginning Of the
Hebrew New Year, and the scriptural
name that has been given her recalls
one of the most famous women of
Jewish history. She was the woman
selected to succeed Vashti as Queen
by King Ahasuerus, " (which reigned
from India even unto Ethiopia, over
hundred and seven-and-twenty prov
inces." She was maid g fair and
beautiful" and found favor in the sight
of the King, and biblical readers will
remember how her beauty and tact
and virtue triumphed over the machi-
nations of the wicked Hannah and
saved her people from the destruction
he had planned for them. And in
memory of the great deliverance which
she wrought for them they established
the feast of Purim, 6: as the days
wherein the Jews rested from their
enemies, and the month which was
turned unto them from sorrow to joy
and from mourning into good day,
because Haman, the enemy of all the
Jews, had devised against the Jews to
destroy them, and had cast Pur, that
is the lot, to consume them" Esther's
feast occurred this year on March 2
and ;.
Ruth, too, was scriptural heroine
of the first order. Her station in life
was not so exalted as that Of Esther,
but she proved her queenliness OF
character by the devotion, the fidelity
and the purity with which she met
and discharged the not less arduous
duties of an humber sphere. No
more eloquent or touching words are
recorded in that book Of eloquence
that describes her virtues than those
which she addressed to Naomi: &c En-
treat me not to leave thee or to return
from following after thee, for whittier
thou goest l will go, and where thou
lodgest l will lodge; thy people shall
| be my people and thy God my God.'
Beautiful and noble characters were
they both, we'll deserving the happiness
and prosperity which they enjoyed
during life and the fame that ha:
been theirs ever since, May little
Ruth and Esther, their American
namesakes in the White House, possess
their virtues and be crowned with
similar rewards, be "chief among ten
thousand and altogether lovely."-
Baltimore Sun.
