His Wife Sick, Child Dead, and Himself

trand place had died. Wittnebert the
readers of The JERSEY CITY NEWS
will remember was badly burned a few
weeks ago with molten iron thrown
upon him by George Smith, who worked
with him at Hitchings & Co.'s foundry
in Lafayette. Since this assault he has
been unable to work. To make matters
worse, his wife. who has been Ill for
some time. became worse, and during
the past two weeks she has been nncou-
scious. Two weeks ago his child became
Ill with diphtheria. and yesterday morn
ing 1t died.
Wittnebert is almost distracted with
grief. On account of his enforced idle

What He Would Do if He We're Presi-
dent.
CHICAGO, August 10, 1S93.-"If l were
President for thirty days would give
confidence to the business community
aud give work to the unemployed" said
Carter 81. Harrison. NJ ayor of Chicago,
when asked to express au opinion on the
present financial depression.
How would you do it?"
Il would put the 143 co., 900 of silver
dollars now lying useless In the Treasury
vaults In circulation. What is the trouble
now? Scarcity OF currency, and yet the
Government keens on issuing Treasury
notes that eau be locked up in safety
deposit vaults by timid people, l would
not issue single notes, but would pay all
national debts in silver, and In that way
bring the stringency to sudden termi-
nation.
''Silver cannot be boarded. It is too
bulky. Gold and notes can, and II $143,-
1000 IN silver were turned into the
markets money would soon be plentiful.
They talk of silver being an undesirable
money, yet who today will refuse to take
silver dollars? Let the National Govern
ment pay all its debts In silver now stored
away. A man who received $500 cart.
wheel coins would not put them in
