WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE
Twenty-Five years ago l knew every
man, woman and child in Peekskill :;
and it has been a study with me to
mark the boys who started in every
grade of life with myself, to see what
became of them. l was up last fall
and began to count them over, and
it was an instructive exhibit. Some
of them became clerks, merchants,
manufacturers, lawyers and doctors
1t is remarkable that every one of
those who drank is dead,-not one
living of my age Barring a few who
were taken off by sickness, every one
who proved a wreck and wrecked his
family did it from rum and no other
cause OF those who were church
going people, who were steady, in
dustrious and Woodworking men,
who were frugal and thrifty, every
single one of them, without any ex-
ception, owns the house in which he
lives and has something laid by, the
interest on which, with the house
would carry him through many a
rainy day. When man becomes
debased with gambling, rum, or
drink, he doesn't care; all his finer
feelings are crowed out.-Chauncey

The bar of Cumberland county,
Pennsylvania, has refused to examine
Miss Ida Kast for admission to prac-
tice. AS Pennsylvania has several
successful lawyers of the gentler sex,
Cumberland county shows itself many
years behind the times. Miss Kast
will go to some other county for ex-
animation and admission, and when
she returns and hangs out her shingle
in fredericksburg or Carlisle, she will
be very likely to "sooop up" the
best cases and leave her enemies wal
lowing in the mud. This will happen
if she has the clear grit of Mrs. Kill
gore, the pioneer female lawyer of
Pennsylvania, who spent years fight
ing her way to the bar, then proved
her fitness for admission in double
quick time.

some Of the Causes of 1t.

The Louisville Courier-Journal,
looking back over the experience
through which this country has
passed lately, says: "The country
has been pretty nearly talked to
death during the past THREE or
four months. Somebody suddenly
observed that gold was going off to
Europe 1t had been doing this for
three years, but nobody noticed it
until the drain began to tell on the
governments gold reserve. Then
somebody spoke of it with an omin-
Gus shake of the head, and immedi-
ately went up a great hue and cry
about the danger just ahead. The
people were scared out of their wits.
They began to take their money out
of the banks and hide it away some
where, and banks had to suspend.
They began to scrimp and scrape
and save and deny themselves the
ordinary indulgences of life, and mer-
chants found trade dull and them
selves unable to pay their bills.
Every dollar that could be obtained
was fastened upon with death grip,
instead of being sent about its bust
ness of paying debts. Banks loaded
up their vaults with reserves of 30,
40, so or so per cent, and refused to
cash their depositors' checks or loan
a dime on the best of security. We
became nation of nervous wrecks
as to money matters-a nation of
crazy fools, as somebody has put it
and each went about yelling Pan
icr' at the top of his voice to alarm
his neighbors all the more. 1t is
surely about time to stop such non
sense. Here is an official statement
that there is in possession of the
people of the country, outside of the
country, outside of the treasury
over $60,0O0,000 more THAI on
August 1, and nearly $70,00YSN0
more than they had year ~ge,
when they felt pretty flush. And yet
this crazy scare, induced by talk and
kept alive by senseless gable, has SO
effectuaIy banished it from it's prop
er place business that the whole
country has been running on one
wheel for a month or more. Fortu
nately, however, it is already evident
that the business of the country is
getting right side up again. The
scare is practically over

Senator German thinks the senate
will reach a vote on the silver repeal
bill not later than October l, but it
is difficult to see upon what he bases
his opinion. Some of the advocates
of repeal favor continuous sessions
as means of firing out the opposi-
ton and forcing them to yield
through physical WEAKNESS. But this
plan would bear as hard on those
opposed to it, except that the silver
men would have to keep up a con-
slant flow of talk. The situation
only emphasizes the necessity for a
senate rule which will enable a vote
to be taken when there has been rea-
sonable debate.
