How a Widow Made Use OF Whaa She
Heard Railroad Direetcrs sayl
A few years ago q widow and he,
daughter were occupying q section in q
Pullman sleeper ON the Missouri Pacific
railroad The section next to this LADY,
happened to be occupied by a couple Of
the directors of that railroad. Tbs par.
tition between the two sections was 90
thin that it was not difficult for 1 con-
yersation carried on in one sectionto he
heard in the other. The lady traveller
heard the two directors discussing 4 plan
of consolidation whereby the stock Of the
Missouri Pacific was bound to be greatly
enhanced in value, sHs
It was then worth but Q or 3 cents on
the dollar. She WAS on her return trim
TO her home in Hartford. The CONVEX
sation of the two directors proved on her
mind. She revolved 1t over and ever
again until her home was reached. about
which time a $5, 200 note due her was re-
deemed. She sent for her attorney, de-
tailed to him the conversation she had
heard and said she was almost resolved
TO invest the $1,000 in Missouri Pacific.
The attorney, installing her announced
resolution for irony, laughed. but the
woman Of wealth persisted.
1T is but O., 600" she said, land IL /
lose ! shall have just as much to eat as /
have always had and just as much to
wear. Ii the plans betrayed by these
two directors work ont, I shall make a
good deal Of money buying Missouri Pa
ciic."
The attorney obeyed the instructions
OF his client, invested the q, 1000, and in
less than a month the propoeA1 consoli-
dation was consummated, and thu Hart
ford widow realized for her %, 900 invest
nent S250,000 At the first blush this in
cident is set down as proof Of luck.
1t was simply an unexpected exhibit
ton Of what in Wan street vernacular Is
termed nerve" on the part OF q quick
cared and quicker witted woman. Not
one person in 10, 600 would have given
any heed to the conversation referred to,
and not q Of q thousand who might
have heard and needed and who hap
pened to have the money, as the widow
had it, would have dared invest it.
These incidents and illustrations might
be expanded until volumes were filed.
The evidence would be cumulative that
eyes and ears and brain make what
the thoughtless term luck.-Cincinnati

To Tax scenic Advertisement.

The practice of defacing natural scen-
cry with great advertisements Is not SO
prevalent In the United States Is It was
a generation ago, and public sentiment
is steadily growing stronger against it.
This practice has recently developed in
England to such an extent that lovers Of
nature recognize that some definite ac-
ton must be taken. The Thames val
ley, the most picturesque mountain spots
in Wales and the loveliest Of
Devonshire have been greatly injured by
huge advertisements. The wei known
architect, Mr.. Waterhouse, has pro.
posed that if they cannot actually be
prohibited they should at least be di.
unfinished by the imposition Of a heavy
license tax.-Chicago Herald.

termine a mans worth of clay. Yet a
proposition of that kind would have
been no more unreasonable or ridicu-
lous than is the proposition to put
dollars worth of silver or other metal
in a dollar. Weights and measures
cannot weigh and measure themselves,
because they are the product of law
Their accuracy can be deter
mined only by the law creating
them. Eleven inches cannot constitute
a foot; not because any material thing
forbids it, but because the law forbids
it The inch had its origin far back in
the age of ignorance and superstition,
and was determined by the length of
twelve grains of barley placed end to
end lengthwise. But who in this age
of enlightment would be willing to
make himself so ridiculous as to assume
that the ever fiuctuating length of
twelve grains of barley should deter
mine the length of our unit of distance?
Yet such an assumption could be no
more irrational than the claim that we
should ignore law and return to the
barbarous customs of the feudal ages in
fixing the quantity of silver that should
dollar dishonest because its value was
not determined by an exploded theory
of an idolatrous people.
THE relative value of money made
from different kinds of material can
only be Influenced by the legal advan-
tages one kind may have over another.
If the law of the nation authorizes the
free and unlimited coinage of one kind
of metal into money and restricts the
| coinage of another and locomotives the
restricted coin in the payment of GER
tain obligations, its value will depre-
ciate and the value of the metal admit
ted to unlimited coinage and made.
when so coined, full legal tender for
all debts, if produced in unlimited
quantities, will appreciate in value be-
cause of its legal powers and privileges
over the other. Herein lies the incon-
sistency of the advocates of single
gold standard. They are unwilling to
restore silver to its equal legal powers
and privileges with gold and adjust the
ratio at which the two metals shall be
| coined afterwards"

A Homeless PeopIe.

ais. Every few miles a squad of caval
~ is quartered, and sentries ride back
and forth regularly, keeping out of the
promised land all who cannot show
proof that they are journeyIng to some
point beyond and are not in search OF
good locations.
Meetings have been called for several
points on the line and President Cleve-
land and Secretary Smith will be bonn
boarded with resolutions demanding
that all other business be laid aside
temporarily and the strip opening bt

Charging all Along The Line,

Chicago Inter Ocean The Minnesota
legislature has done we'll in urging the
federal authorities to put the Sherman
antitrust law into operation against
the coal-combine concurrently with the
attack upon it by means of the state
courts, and 1t has acted not less wisely
by determining upon the prosecution
of such of the trusts officials as are
SUSPECTED of having made false oatbs
before the committee.
This is charging all along the line,
and the attacking troops are in high
spirits, while the forces of the enemy
are sullen and discouraged. The civil
courts OF Minnesota, its criminal courts
and the United States district courts
all operating at once against the trust
ought to make an end Of it. But what
is being done IN Minnesota should be
done In every state where anthracite is
used. During the winter months of
1892 the people were made to pay an ex-
ira 22,OO0,O00 for the coal purchased by
them of the combine, and that an addl-
tiOnal IL 100000 was not levied in Nov
emher was due largely to the proceed
ings that we're commenced III this state
by Judge LoDgenecker at the instance
of the InterOcean; but for them another
half-dollar would have been added to
the price Of coal. The autumn market
of 1895 ought to open with free compe-
titiOn in the production and sale of fuel

Federal Courts and FugitiYe Slaves.

reueral COurIS anu Fugitive slaves.
IF strikers cause damage to proper
ty by unlawful acts, or if they cause
damage by quitting work in violation of
contract, they can be sued and the dam
age recovered from such of them as
own Droperty-as very great many of
them do.
This is law and justice. The attempt
to prevent strikes by injunction; the
theory that man who wishes to quit
work when he has been 'enjoined' from
quitting can be locked up for contempt
and kept locked up at the pleasure of a
federal judge is neither law nor justice
and Americans will not long submit
to 1t.
If any man on the federal bench or
off it can compel another man to work
when that other has at 10 time bargain
! ed TO do so, then the one is the master
and the other the slave"
Last week. from an article we clipped
from the telegraph reports to the
Republic we were tempted to think
they were preparing to flop about at
the crack of plutocracy's whip like the
Kansas City Times ana Star. But the
tone of the editorial does not change.
The Republic is advocating truly west
ern interests, the cause of justice and
! the causes of the great masses every
where. We congratulate them and
hope as long as they remain true to
their present position, that their circu-
| lation may continue to increase.

X. c. Times: Senator John Sher-
man recently said In a speech in the
senate that the secretary of the treas
urY had been authorized to retain at
least 500, 1000, 900 in gold in the nature
OF redemption. The New YORK Sun
takes trouble to remark that it is abso-
lutely and entirely false. 1t was hard
~ necessary To make this statement.
Ever since Senator Sherman engineered
through congress the act OF demonetiz-
alton in 1873 his career has been a per-
feet whIrl of falsehood and false pre-
lenses. His record in this respect has
been phenomenal. Il has been found
that as public speaker, as visiting
statesmen, as senator and as secretary
Of the treasury whenever he makes a
specially solemn statement it is pretty
certain to veer from the truth in some
respect. He probably can not help it.
for 1t is inconceiyable that a public
man should deliberately falsify facts
that anybody can verify

Good Roads and National Banks

Here is the cat let out OF the bag by
Hon. w. II. Rhawn, president of the
American Bankers Association.
ut is proposed that these bonds shall
bear the low rate of two and half per
cent. per annum, which invested at two
and half per cent. per annum, is cal
culated, will repay-the principal in y
years, and the entire charge would,
therefore, be but 8 per cent. per annum
divided equally between the nation,
state, county and township. such
bonds would be done at the least POSI-
BILE cost, for no county could otherwise
obtain money at so low a rate. The
market for these bonds would be prac-
tically unlimited, as they would be
available for every description of in
vestment that national and state bonds
are throughout the world. If issued
continually, and to the extent they
| probably would be, they should at once
settle the question of the life Of the
| national banking system supposed to
depend upon the life of the present
government bonds, acceptable as secur-
ity for the notes of national banks as
the government bonds now are, which
is a most important consideration, in
deed it would seem second only to that
of the improvement of the roads"
