honest money. When free coinage meas
ure commanded the votes of very large
majority Of the Democrats of the National
House and of all but two of the Democratic
members of the United States Senate,
it would not seem to be in order
for the orgAns Of that party to main

The measure introduced into the Ma
tional House Of Representatives providing
for the loan Of government funds on farm
mortgages, reads very much like a scheme
to build up gigantic pension system for
civil life. We presume that the Populist
idea is for the government to secure the
money to carry on this extensive brokerage
business by squeezing it out of the gold
bugs, "Wail street kings" and 'bloated
bond-holders, who seem, in hideous shapes,
to haunt the dreams Of the members of this
organization of political fanatics. 1t 10 GER
tainly a contracted kind Of patriotism whose
highest conception of the legitimate func-
tons OF Uncle Sam are those of pawn

A Story About Unjust Law,

The Rev. Anna Shaw, who knows the
legislator as the sportsman does his game
relates how, a widow dying, the mother-in
law refused to permit her to be buried III
her husbands lot. The audacity Of the re-
fusal was increased by the fact that the
cemetery lot had been bought by the dead
woman : money, although in the husbands
name. The friends OF the dead woman In
consequence went to law. The law. how
ever, decided against the dead woman. For
il appeared that wife had only life in
tercst in her husbands real estate. The
cemetery lot was real estate; consequently
if the wife wished to lie beside her husband
she should have been buried alive.-New
York Evening sun.
