Bat eXpostulation was in vain. The

young man mounted his horse again

log church. He looked ut each side
OF the road anXiously, bat did not

covered with foam when he reached

OF the pawpsw tree, there was q jug /;
and the liquor in the jug was the driv-
er's dearest and most fatal enemy.
There were three men in the wagon
when IL halted bereath the trees, n
hundred yards below the church.
While the horses ate the men drank.
When the sermon was over Mrs.
Chalmers and her daughter ate their
luncheon Afterward, while the la
dies plucked May apple blossoms and
enjoyed the cool dampness which the
river exhaled, the driver slept. He
Gwoke often in melancholy mood,
but they did not notice it; and each
time when he threw of his slumbers
he resorted to the jug, which had
somehow been left behind by the men
in the wagon.
Later in the afternoon the driver,
whose depression had increased since
the sun sank, hitched up his horses.
and the carriage began the assent OF

NATIONAL CURRENCY THE BEST.

In a speech in the Senate in 1887,
John G. Calhoun said:
at appears to me, after bcstowing
the best reflection | can give no sub
iect, that no convertible paper-that
is, paper whose credit rests on "a
promise to PAYS suitable for cur
rency. Bank paper is cheap to those
who make it, but dear, very dear, TO
those who use it. On the other
hand, national curre ncg, while it
would greatly facilitate its financial
operation, would cost nothing or next
to nothing, and would, of course,
add much to the cost of production,
which would give to every branch oi
our industries great advantages botl
at home and abroad. And | now
undertake to affirm without the leas
fear | can be answered, that papel
issued by the government, with ,
simple promise to receive it for al
dues would form perfect paper cir
culation which could not be abuses
by the government; that it woul'
be as uniform in value as the metal
themselves; and | shall be able t
prove that it is within the constitu
ton and lowers of congress to us
such paper according to the mos
rigid rule of constituting the constitu
tion." (tf.)

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

The State of Iowa is the home of
Gen. Weaver. In the last election
the Presidential vote stood as fol-
lows:
Cleveland, l96,367
Harrison, 2l9,795
Weaver, 2O,59o
This would be good year for
Gen. Weaver to work up some fol-
lowing in his own State.-People's
Party Paper.
This same thought occurred to us
week or two since. North Caro-
lima gave him more than twice as
many votes as his own State. We
will more than double our vote in
the next fight, Georgia will do the
same what will Iowa do?

The control of trade through the
contraction of the currency or by
placing it in the hands and power Of
few Is the analogue of the control
of the supply of commodities through
the protective tariff. The principle
is the same. The man who under
standingly favors Cleveland's finan-
clal policy is protectionist at heart

RELIEF FUND.

When | recommended the estab-

it was my idea that the fund should
be used as a charity fund only, that is,
that 1t should be used to help such
as were in enough distress, to make
through their lodges a public ap-
peal to the brethren for assistance.
1t was to get rid of the constant
public appeals for aid that the fund
was established. But | am led to
believe that many have appealed fol
help from this fund who did not be
long to the class intended to be as
sisted. The result has been, tina
the fund has proven insufficient, ant
many calls have not been paid, ane
some only in part. [ recommend
