Law partner Bissell on Sat
urday last went a step be-
yond any previous ruling
when he gave out that no
presidential post m n s t e r
would be removed before the
expiration of his term, ex-
cept for cause, and no fourth
class postmnsters (those hav
ing no term) would be re-
moved in the absence OF char
ges. And then the blockhead
added insult to injury by say
ing that his policy would be
best for doubtful Sta ties like
Virginia and North Carolina.
How did this pot-bellied pro-
vincial from Buffalo acquire
the experience in politics or
the knowledge of the situa-
tion in these two doubtful
States" which justifies him IN
making Oracular deliveran-
ces about what is the "best
policy" for them? We have

then there were many tongues
to speak his praise. There
was rot a breath of asper-
sion in the air. Men spoke
of self-denials-of his work a.

good qualities, of his QUIET
ness. his modesty, his hunil-
ity, his pure ness of heart, his
faith and power. There were
many who spoke indignant
ly of the charges that false
hood had forged against him
in past years and the treat
nent he had received. There
were enough kind things said
during the two or three days
he lay in the coffin, and while
the company stood around
his grave, to have blessed
him and made him happy all
his fifty years, and to have
thrown sweetness and Joy a.
bout his soul during all his
painful and weary journey.
There was enough sunshine
wasted about the black cof-
fin and dark grave to have
made his whole life path as
bright as clearest day. But
his ears were closed then, and
could not be thrilled by the
grateful sounds. He cared
nothing then for the sweet
flowers that were piled upon
his coffin. The love blossom
ed out too late. The kindness
came when the life could not
receive it's blessings.
But meanwhile there is a
great host OF weary men and
women toiling through life
toward the grave, who need
cheering words and helpful
ministries: The incense i $
gathering to scatter about
their coffins; but why should
it not be scattered in their
paths to-day? The k in d

Where the Gold Is.

"New York is no longer the
gold center of thecountry, so
far as the gold in Ma tional
banks is.:oncerned," remark
ed a prominent treasury Off
cia1. She has been playing a
big game of bluff trying to
impress the world with the
fact that she can embarrass
or relieve a present situation
az she pleases. As a m ,tter
0ffact there Is less gold in
the national banks of New
York than in Chicago, an d
the gold center is west Of the
Alleghanies.
On March 9th, last the
comptroller of the currency
called for reports from all ma
tional banks as to the a.
mount of gold on hand. AS
between New York and Chica
go, the reports show t h e
amount of gold held to be,
New York, $12,438, ,652; Chi
cago, $14, 1924, $50. L h is
brings out the important
fact that the demands which
have been made by the New
York bankers during the re-
cent crisis we're largely in the
nature of bluffs AS be-
tween the west and the east,
the former has $54 900, 600
of gold in It's national ba nEs,
while the east has only $780,
900, 900.
Here is an interesting state
lnent: Gold in the Western cit
les. 1927, ,6O4, $50: gold in the
eastern cities. $22,411,774.
gold in western states, $685.
541 ,O02: gold in the eastern
states, $16,7O8,559.
Chicago is the flrst of fif-
teen large western cities which
have heavy stocks of gold.
while N. Y. is the first ofeight
eastern cities, with supplies oi
gold. Thus the western cities
ontrank the enstern both in

gold carried. The western
States are also ahead OF the
eastern States in their supply
of gold. The reports made
to the comptroller, it should
be remembered, do not cover

The Chicago banks have al

Garfield favored not nor e

Presidents elected by the re-

Now the pensions voted, a.
way by the republicans have
rparhed rhe great sum Of
1886, 900, 600 for thepresent
fiscal year ending 30th June,
1898. and will exceed 5000
000,00 for the fiscal year
ending Both June, 1894. The
democrats are powerless to
prevent this. The present Con
gross cannot by reduction af-
feet the pension expenditures
until the 3Oth June, 1894.
There are now-Or We're or

names on the pension rolls.
This list is greater now. On

rison's baleful Administrn-
ton there were hut 4S9, 9,725.
