Of President Cleveland to the extra

Gold or Bills.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: at is
just as well to get rid OF gold coins as
quickly as possible" says one who
has tried it, "and to do all ones
little boarding in bills. 1t may be
true that there is going to be a gold
scarcity, but even if there is, the
possession of 800 or 5000 in gold
will not cut very material figure.
On the other hand, any one who car
ries around much gold runs the risk of
having to pay a pretty heavy fine for
light weight. Quite recently | cashed
a check at a bank and the teller in
sisted on giving me gold, saying he
had too much OF it on hand. / had
to make a payment at the custom
house with the money, and, after using
considerable bad language in conse-
quence of the weight and Inconvenience
of the package, / had to pay over S4
penalty because it was short-weight.
My complaint at the bank was re-
ceived with the utmost courtesy, but
although l was referred from one Off
Ger to another, no substantial result
followed, and [ was exactly the
amount out of pocket 1 have named.
One gentleman in the bank seemed in
clined to congratulate me on my loss
not being greater, and he told me an
anecdote of man who drew $4,000
in gold from New York bank, and
had TO lose 81 900, because when he
rendered it in payment OF custom
duties it was that amount short in
weight. i appreciated the kindness o.
the anecdote teller, but did not quite
see how it lessened my loss"

THE LAW WILL BE ENFORCED.
The President Says He Will Enforce the
Geary Law to the Letter.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Congressman
Caminetti of California had a short
conference with the president this
morning and left the white house fully
assured that it was the intention of
the president to see that the Chinese
restriction act was enforced. Camin-
etti denied that it would take any
thing like the sum OF money that has
been mentioned to enforce the act, for
the reason that those Chinese entitled
to remain would have to secure their
certificates at their own expense, and
that those against whom the law is
really aimed will be frightened out of
the country the moment an honest
attempt is made to enforce it. Cam
inetti is of the opinion that what ad-
ditional money is needed will devoted
at the next session of congress, and
he fears no repeal of the law.
The Chinese minister, accompanied
by his English-speaking secretary OF
legation, called at the state depart
ment this afternoon and had a con-
ference with Secretary Gresham in re-
gard to the supreme courts decision
affirming the constItutionality of the
Geary act. He gave no intimatior
whatever of his intention to suspend
, diplomatic relations with the United
States, but, on the contrary, indi
catei his purpose of quieting affairs il
| China as much aspossible.

Lincoln Rode In 1t.

OMAHA, May 14.-There stood on a
side track under the Eleventh street
viaduct last night an interesting relic
of old-time railroading. 1t was the
private car in which the martyred
President Lincoln Travelled about the
country in the sixties. 1t is striking
contrast to the palace on wheels of
today. Running along the top of the
car are the words: Colorado Central
Railroad" while beneath the window
is painted the inscription, "Work
train" but so worn with age as to be
almost indistinguishable. The car
was brought in from North Platte
yesterday, where it had been for years.
1t has been used as a boarding car for
section men. 1t was built at Alex
andria, Va, about thirty-five years
ago. A narrow aisle originally ran
along one side with doors opening into
the various compartments on the
other side. 1t will be taken to the
Union Pacific shops tomorrow, where
it will undergo a thorough overhaul.

as when President Lincoln used it.
1t will be then taken to Chicago for
exhibition at the Worlds Fair.

McKinley's Sensible Words.

Glo5e-Democrat: In newspaper
interview in Buffalo Governor McKin-
ley, in referring to the financial situa-
tion, says that persons "should not
credit this talk about hard times.
This country has too many resources
and too much money for anything OF
this sort to happen. Besides that,
the people, irrespective OF party affili-
ations, have great confidence in Presi-
dent Cleveland" These words are
sensible and timely.
Level-headed men in general take
the same view of the situation as that
which Mr.. Mckinley has expressed
The elements for strength and con.
servatism are too numerous and too
active to permit any serious or ex'
tended financial difficulties to mani
fest themselves in the near future. Al
sound money men, irrespective o
party relations. will rally around tn,
administration in this emergency anG
aid it in protecting the country's
credit and in defending ITS financia
stability. In the presence OF any sucf
peril as this, party lines disappear
and regard for the national honor and
| interests become paramount. Sucl
dangers as We have recently known
are passing away and none OF a NOR,
serious character will be permitted tt
take their place. Able and earnes
statesmen are on guard. II any ele
ment of grave peril appears on tn
financial horizon congress will b.
promptly called upon to deal with it
and an intelligent and resolute publi
sentiment will compel congress to ac
promptly and to act right.
