WARREN.
A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

2
 It will be difficult for those outside of staid old Warren, who know her quiet people to believe that she has within her borders a Bachus club. But to those who do not know the facts, the Warren cor respondents statement in another paper, last week, might be misleading It was stated that the street parade rivaled Bar nura & Bailey's and the lawn spread was boisterous feast, which wound up in a hilarious fashion. The facts are that few, perhaps 30 of the young farmers and sons of farmers, collected short distane away and went in a body to the residence of the new postmaster, who met them at the gate with few words of thanks for their congratulations and expressions of loyalty and inviting them in to partake of hastily prepared refreshments on a table under the naples in his front door yard, where short season was spent in social chat. All departed early for their various homes in quiet manner becom- 1 ing good citizens. In fact the whole af- | fair was so quiet and gentlemanly that their host feels justly chagrined that it should be otherwise reported. It was not political demonstration as there
 were members of both leading parties present who feel indignant that their con- duct and motives should be misconstrued. l Warren can i'll afford that anything
 should go abroad derogatory of her
 young men and coming citizens. May 1 they stay with us and become power
 for good in the land of their nativity 1 Fact.

WEST MORRIS.
HE LIKES THE BEE,

"I don't see how in thunder THE NEW TOWN BEE gets all the news," remarked farmer as he called for THE BEE at the postoffice, the other evening. ''It is the liveliest paper in the country. I have heard from relatives and friends that I have not heard from in years, and prob ably would never have known where they were, if I had not subscribed for THE BEE. They must have a host of cor respondents to get all the news from the neighboring towns. When I first sub scribed for TIE BEE it was single sheet, but now it has double sheet at the same price, with large increase of subscrib- CTS. Why, could not get along with out my BEE every week, as it keeps me posted what other farmers are doing and calculate they will not beat me much if I can help it, as I believe I can show as good crops as any one around the coun- try. We'll, good night, must go home and read THE BEE"

They finally appointed a commit tee to look the matter over with the as- sistance of engineers, ,and figure out so- lution to the problem and report at fu- ture meeting, at which time there will be no doubt considerable excitement and a large amount of kicking.-[ Ichabod.

MIR BALDWIN ON THE SILVER QUESTION.
A SUGGESTION TO CONGRESS.

To the Editor of the Press: Sir-I read the other day that Mexeian dollars were in great or demand because there was a trace ofgold In them.
 What's the matter with putting enough gold into our silver dollars to reduce the bulk or size SO they would not be such nuis. ance to carry, and then coin them more free ly, putting in enough gold to make them on a parity with gold? This would provide for the use of both the gold and silver in ample. safe quantities.
 write to ascertain what the objections to it are, as I don't know and can't see any, but suppose they are serious or it would be adopted.-[A. s. Baldwin, Washington De- pot, Conn.
 Editor BEE: Dear sir-I sent the above on postal card to the Press which they cut down and garbled (the heading is theIrs). To "man up tree" it looks as though, if they would cut the dollars down to about two-thirds the present size and put in enough gold to make them in- triusically worth about dollar they would "go like hot cakes" and enter freely into circulation and satisfy the gold 3bugs" who wants "every dollar equal to every other dollar" and partial ly- satisfy the silver men, as there could be no objection to coinlng any amount of them and they would enter freely into circulation, while "cart wheel dollars" can't bessnade to go" and are dead weIght.-[A. s.
