ATLANTA Nae ocpt. -s.-iu repsy W q
letter from Governor Northen, asking the
president TO give his position on financial
matters, Mr.. Cleveland has sent the fol-
lowing:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, ID. e., Sept. 2S.
To Hon. w. J. Northrn:
My DEAR SIR hardly know how to
reply to your letter of the 18th inst. II
seems TO me that am plainly on record
concerning the financial question. My
letter accepting the nomination TO tho
presidency, when read in connection with
the message lately sent TO congress in ex-
traortlinary session. appears TO be very
explicit. want q currency that is stable
and safe in the hands of our people. ]
will not knowingly he implicated In a con-
diiion that will justly make me in the
least degree answerable to any laborcr or
farmer in the United States for another
shrinka age IN the purchasing power Of the
dollar he has received for full dollars
worth of the product OF his toll.
II not only want o,ir currency TO he OF
such a character that all kinds of dollars
shall be Of equal purchasing power at
home, but I want IL to be of such a char
acter as will demonstrate abroad our wis
dom and good faith. thus placing upon a
firm foundation our credit among the
nations Of the earth. lwant our financial
conditions aud the laws relating to our
currency SO safe and reassuring that those
who have money will spend and invest IL
in new business and new enterprises, in
stead of boarding IL. You cannot cure
fright by calling 1t foolish and unrcason-
able, and you cannot prevent frightened
ma N from haa rlinu his money.
~ want good. sound and stable money
and condition of confidence that will
keep IL In use. Within the limits OF what
have written am the friend OF silver,
but believe It's proper place In our cur.
rency can only bc fixed by n readjustment
of our currency legislation and tho inaug-
uratiou of q consistent aud eomprehen-
siye financial scheme. ! think such o
thing can only be entered upon protitably
and hopefully after tho repeal OF the law
which 10 charged with all our financial
woes. In tho present state Of tho public
mind. this law cannot be built upon nor
patched In such way as to relieve the
situation.
II am therefore OF posed to the free and
unlimitsd coinage of silver by this country
alone ana Independently, and l am In
favor Of an immediate and unconditional
repeal Of the purchasing clause OF the So
called Sherman law. confess ! am
astonished by the opposition In the senate
to such prompt action 90 would relieve
the present unfortunate situation. My
daily prayer 10 that the delay occasioned
by such opposition may not be the cause
Of plungine tho country into deeper de.
preston than Il has yet known, and that
the democratic party may not be Justly

 The unnatural mother in our town who has lately been trying her little best to blacken the character of her own daughter and has even denied her own maternity, will withort doubt be more or less pleased to learn that ample, complete and absolute proof has come to hand that the young lady is of the same flesh and blood as her reputed parents. Seldom has the press occasIon to chronicle a more heartless piece of business than this attempt of woman to de- stroy the future of her own child. It is simple charity to think she is in- cane.

ENGLISHMEN NOT LOvAsLE.
A Briton Calls Them Aggressive, Purse.
 Proud and HypocriticsL

Proud and HypocriticsL
 The editor of the Times appears to have just discovered that the French detest the English as bitterly, if not more so. than they do and other neigh boring nation. says London Truth. and in leading article on Saturday that paper astonished the world with a la bored attempt to account for the cause of this dislike to us. But the reason is a very simple one.
 We English are by no means Iowa ble race. We have many admiral ble qualities. We are hardy. practical, persevering people; but these are not in themselves sympathetic properties. We are aggressive, self-assertive, purse-proud and hypocritical. We are apt to sing psalms and pick pockets at one and the same time, and our neigh bors, not altogether unjustly, there fore. resent the over-righteous tone that we adopt in criticising them and theIr concerns
 Wherever the Engiishmau goes he has the fatal influence of spelling even the most simple of characters. A few British tourists will make the inhab- AAsiAAS oA NIC hlcNN ince shrewd, suspicious, grasping and dishonest. This is within the common knowledge of any who have travelled in little-visited lands, and a considera- ton of this phenomenon will enable us the better, perhaps, to understand why our neighbors, and more especially the French, so heartily detest us.
 It is also curious fact that whenev- CT there are any general elections to be held in the great republics the most popular policy is to twist the tail of the British lion. It would be instruct i've as a subject for the dull season to discuss the question: Are we English really much superior to all other na- tions?" think we are, but apparently our neighbors think otherwise; and it might be we'll, therefore, to discover whether we are mistaken or whether they are stupidly prejudiced.

THE HABIT OF DRuDoeRY.

Some Advantages and Otherwise of Hav-
 ing . Distinguished Brother.
 Since my brother Mundanus has be- come rich and famous as the author and autocrat of the bootjack trust, l have been very strongly tempted to stop working for myself and arrange with him for my support, says a writ CT in Scribner's. It may be that shall conclude that the habit of drudgery is too firmly fixed on me to be thrown of with impunity, so that perhaps l shall elect to go on working: but if l do it will be in the nature of self-indulgence, maintained for more personal ease, against my conviction of what is just and right.
 For my argument is. and it is con- ceived on general and impersonal grounds, and founded without preju- dice on dispassionate observation, that comfortable maintenance without work is & very moderate set of to any ordinary man for the inconvenience and detriment of having an immoder- ately successful brother. The reason lies in the incorrigible tendency of so- ciety to measure brothers by the same standard. When they are little society puts them back to back and observes which is the taller. When they are grown it piles their achievements or renown or incomes up side by side, and remarks which pile is bigger.
 Mir. Rockefeller's or Mir. Astor's in come may run up into the millions, without making anyone think the worse of my capacity; but ever since it became known that Mundanus was getting fifty thousand dollars year largely payable in Bootjaek stock, as I happen to know. but the public doesn'tl, it has been imputed to me as a fault. and somewhat of a disgrace, that my in-takings were not so large. However conscientiously a man may have used the talents given him, and whatever progress he may have made in life. if it be his misfortune to have a meteoric brother who has sailed con spicuous where he has had to plod. and arrived glorious where he has sweated in patient aspiration, the slow-gaited man is bound to suffer as do by dis paraging comparison with his ocupod fellow of the Sarna hron5

DEVOTED DOGS.
They Sacrificed Themselves for Theis
 Little Mistress.

They sacrinccd Themselves for Their
 Little Mistress.
 4 writer in Our Animal Friends re- lates a story of two fox-terriers, Tan and Tally, which belonged to physi- elan in southern California, and were the playmates of his little daughter Mabel. They had been her compan- ions from her baby hood. and she was now five years old. On the day in question she and they were frolicking in the garden, when the little girls at tention was attracted by a peculiar noise in bush at her elbow.
 She peered into the branches to see what had made the noise. Instantly the head of a snake reared itself before her, and the sound of its rattles was repeated. Mabel stood as if fascinated. The gardener, at work not far of, screamed to her to run, and hurried as fast as he could to her rescue. Hurry as he might, however, he would have been too late but for the dogs.
 They saw the little girls danger, and threw themselves between her and it. worrying the snake till the man could come up and kill it. sThey were quite aware of their own danger; again and again, when camping out with their master, they had shown the greatest terror at the sound of a snakes rattles: but they could not see the child in- J.-"d.
 When .he mother came in answer to the shouts of the gardener, she found Mabel safe, but both dogs were already in the agonies of death.
