GROVER CLEVELAND has a most
elegant backbone.
STATE banks constitute feature
of our financial system veto be con.
sidered. Now, for discussion!
DESPITE the repeal of the Sherman
bill, business in Colorado is improv-
ing. Some Populist prophecies have
gone to seed.
Why should not North Carolina |
have 16 United States Senators in
stead of 2? Our population is
1,617,947 while that of eight States
is but 1,316,797.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND signed the
repeal bill one hour and thirty-tive
minutes after it's passage. How re-
1ieved he must have felt and how
glad he must have been to affix his
autograph
CARTER HARRIsoN's life was taken
when he was reaching the pinnacle OF
happiness and fame. He was about
to marry a beautiful woman, and he
purposed being a candidate to sue
coed Senator Cullom.
Is it just that 30, 100000 people
should be represented by 6S Senators
while 100000 people are allowed
20 Senators. 1t is not equal
representation and the injustice of it
should be corrected.
THERE has been rapid increase of
insanity in Georgia, The reason of
it is not wholly apparent, but we re-
member that Tom Watson, the loud
mouthed Populist, has been putting
crazy ideas into peoples heads.
FINANCIALLY, the Worlds Fair was
a success. There were 21,477, PIP
paid admissions. The gate receipts
were $40, 100000. The amount ex-
Bonded was $50, 55S,S49 and yet
there remains 81 100000 profit.
A MEXICAN is said to have died at
the age of 1913; but we will stake a
Southern Republicans itch for office
against a razor-back hog that he
didn't see as much of life as an
average Worlds Fair party did in
ten days.
The Richmond Times has a good
editorial on Senatorial Courtesy"
and asks where was the Senatorial
courtesy when Senator Morgan
spoke of several other Senators as
''cuckoos" and of Senator Walcott's
intimation that Senator Carey was
an ass? The fiction of Senatorial
courtesy" is just about exploded.
The Swiss Republic has taken the
novel stand that country should
provide employment for every citizen
who is willing to work but unable to
obtain it. This extraordinary posi-
ton is discussed in the November
f'RevieW of Reviews" 1t is interest
ing as showing new idea of legisla
ton and putting upon government
new responsibility.
The Spiritualists are not success
full in proving that Abraham Lincoln
was one of their faith. Robert TT.
Lincoln, his son, says there is not a
word of truth in the story, neither is
there any foundation for the asser-
ton that Mr.. Lincoln had a medium
living in the White House while he
was President, and that among the
measures inspired by this means was
the emancipation proclamation.
We think a great deal of the Gre
view of Reviews" which never comes
to our desk without welcome. Its
most recent issue contains an article
of President Andrews, of Brown
University, on the Culture of Silver
Production and another on the
remarkable "Gothenburg'' system of
regulating the liquor traffic, the !
nearest approach to which, in this
country, is the South Carolina sys-
tenn.
The repeal bill is law. What of
silver-its present status? The At
lanta Constitution says this: When
the repeal bill becomes a law our
silver coin will be just as much of a
money standard as the greenbacks
or the silver notes. 1t will have pre-.
cisely the same functions and no more.
1t viii be partial legal tender, but
it willnot be recognized as the money
of final payment. In other words,
our stock of silver coin will be re-
deemable in gold, just as the green
