PROMPT and decisive action on the
part Of President Cleveland and his
cabinet carried the country safely
through what at one period Of last
week looked very much like danger
Gus financial crisis. The free gold was
exhausted and the continued demand
for gold for export brought the admin
istration face to face with the question
of whether bonds should be sold OF a
portion OF the $l00,000,000 gold re-
serve fund should be used to redeem
notes presented to the Treasury. I'M
der the law gold might have been re.
fused for Treasury notes, they being
payable in coin, bat as it had been the
practice OF the department to redeem
these notes with gold it was thought
that it might have bad effect to dis
continue the practice just now, so it
was decided to use portion OF the
reserve fund, and 100000 OF it was
ussd but it was only single day.
Now, the Treasury has replaced what
il used from the fund and has, besides,
enough gold to meet all demands, for
the present at least. Public opinion, as
represented in Washington, is with
President Cleveland in the belief thai
SO long as there is known to be more
than SOC, 100000 in gold in the United
States, there is no necessity for the
government to sell bonds to procure
gold, and as for using part of the golt
reserve fund to redeem notes, that il
precisely what that fund was accumu
lated for, and many prominent Demo
Gratis do not hesitate to say that j
should be used, il necessary, until j
becomes apparent that it will be ex
hausted, before bonds should be issued
The present indications are that tn
} Treasury will soon have plenty of gold
{. as bankers, particularly in the Yves
J and South, are placing their gold at it
: disposal, and visitors to the World
: Fair will soon turn a stream OF Euro
9 pean gold our way.

The persistent misrepresentation Of

ATTORNEY GENERAL Olney," says
The Chiago Herald, "has decided that
the government has right under the
late act of congress on that subject to
withhold the sum of $50, $40 from the

ton, that being the amount required
to pay the expense of the government
committees making the awards. The
attorney generals decision is based
on the principle, which, he alleges
applies to this case that congress has
a right to amend any appropriation
act which it had before passed to re-
duce the amount or to change the
terms of the grant. Asa general rule
applying to the appropriations for or
binary expenses OF the government the

right. But this is a different case,

Isham o.Harrls.

The American Industries has the
following complimentary notice of
Tennessee's worthy senator:
Senator Isham G. Harris is one OF
the sturdy tariff reformers who has
stood by the principle in its darkest
hour. He is also one OF the best au-
thorites on the tariff issue among the
southern States, and has always ar-
preached the subject with such en-
thusiasm that has carried conviction
to many wavering mind. He is enc
of the best parlimentarians of the times
by the leaders OF both parties on SON Q
knotty point. His speeches on the.
Tariff issue, through his native State,
during the campaign, were very cf-
fective, and did much towards cement
ing the triumphant democracy of
Tennessee, His style was plain but
forcible and drove home to his hearers
those truths which carried the party to
success,

Composer 100000.
A Pittsburg Dispatch representative
was told the following recently: "Har-
ris, the composer Of After the Ball.
will make over 100000 out Of his
song before it gets through its rum"
said a music dealer yesterday. Il know
this for a certainty, for l have figured
with him on the matter. Harris, unlike
many other composers, realizes hat the
only way to make money-is for the
composer TO publish it himself. He
learned from the e&perince Of others.
The composers Of Listen to My Tale
of Woe and The Song That Touched
My Heart would have been wealthy
men on these productions alone if they
had had the foresight to take out copy
rights in their own names Take an
instance in Pittsburg. In 1865 Henry
Kleber composed a piano. piece. The
Rainbow Schotische,' and gave it to q
publisher who agreed to pay a royalty.
The piece had a great u and it is
running well yet. Instead OF receiving
$500 a year royalty as he has every
year since the publication, MI. kleber
might have made his fortune on this
little piece. Harris produced a copy
of After the Bali for 4 cents. He
makes 10 cents clear on each copy sold
to music dealers. He makes no reduc-
ton in the price if you took 100000.
He realizes the people will buy and
knows that once a song is popular a
few cents means nothing to the public.
He therefore raised the retail price 10
cents above that of any other similar
song"

SO much cultivated by the people of
his color. He was always ready with

was for the fervent ejaculation, DE

On n occasion when the clergyman
in question had been called upon to

story of an occurrence which he had
himself witnessed not long before. AS
he finished it. he said earnestly:
"Now, my brethren, you would hardly
believe, would you, that any man could
have witnessed such a scene as that.
almost at your very doors?"
AS he paused, there came a tremen-
dous groan from the old darkey, and

Whistler, who appeared to be in au.

work and prepare a supper for them.
Carver obeyed, making the biscuit
ready for baking and placing q beavers

some wood, indicating by signs that
wood was needed. Whistler motioned
him to remain, and White Antelope
went after the fuel. He brought with
others one stick about the length and
size of a base ball bat. Carver placed
one end Of this in the fire and laid sup

a manner which made Carver, not
withstanding his danger, grieve for the
biscuits which were so rapidly disap-

Realizing the fate which awaited him
as soon as the supper could be disposed

for reaching n Of his pistols, which
were not many feet distant. Making a
