OUR CONFUSED FINANCIAL CON-
DITION.

The policy which has involved the
finances of the United States in a
confusion without parallel in the
history of prosperous nations is due
to the folly of attempting to com
promise an economic principle.
Economic laws are not the product
OF legislation; they are the result OF
forces which no one country can
effect, and which the combined legis-
lation OF all nations could not per-
manently control. An attempt to
compromise an economic law is
about as intelligent a proceeding as
an attempt to compromise the state
OF the weather or the course of the
seasons. Iftwo men, joint owners
OF field, disputed the proper season
tor planting grain, one insisting it
should be planted in April, the other
contending it should be planted in
October, and they should compro-
mise by planting it in January, does
any sane man believe that fruitful
crop would crown the husbandry
which had been the result of such a
compromise? The men who scat
tered seed upon the ground at a
period when the laws of nature are
necessarily unproductive would have
exercised an undoubted individual
right, but their course would have
exposed them to the pity and ridi-
Guile OF sensible men. SO, in treating
subjects controlled by economic laws,
contending members of a legislature
may agree upon compromise which
will prove effective to close debate
and postpone discussion, but the
economic laws will be in no wise
effected by their arrangement, and
II the laws which they adopt be out
Of harmony with those laws the
the result will be disastrous to COM
merclal prosperity w. Bourke
Cochran in North American Review.

CINNAMON AS MEDICINE.

by NJ. Chamberlain as the result of

said to destroy microbes as effective

INTELLIGENT MICE.

TO illustrate the mouse's intelli-
gence and tender care of its young,
aphysician, DR.. E. r. Maxson, sends
us the following anecdotes.

bright summer morning, many years
ago, the mystery was solved. was

having just returned from an early
call. While admiring the crystalline
dew drops that had collected near
the points of the spears of oats and

head, grasp and pull down the leaves,
and lap the dewdrops,

the mother mouse ran hurriedly
away, leaving in view FIVE or six of
her children not old enough to flee.
AS the mother had disappeared under
the barn, thought of moving the
nest and young family to some place
where she might find and care for
them. Pondering over what to do
with the little mice, l went about
other work in the barn. Perhaps
half an hour later, returning to the
place, was l surprised to see the
mother come and carry them away

and battery cases before Justice Monaghan
throughout the details and the names of
several members were given at the time.
The prosecutions then made caused several of
the parties nanied to disappear, and since that
time nothing has been said of the organiza-
tion and no charges have been made against
people supposed to have been members
of it,
But now another scare of the same kind is
brought up. The particulars are brought to
light by complaint to Squire Shoemaker on
the part Of young Lithuanian named
Victor Gryggins, resident of West Cherry
street. Gryggins swears that he has fears
for the safety of his life, and to substantate
his statement has left with the Justice two
letters written in the Lithuanian language.
Squire Shoemaker has had the two letters
translated and finds they are of similar i'm
port. They are addre sed to Gryggins and
charge him to be on hisguard; that the writer
Is member of band which has decided to
unexpectedly kill him, Gryggins. "Your
death is certainty" the translation says,
and if you wish to know how you are to be
killed look on the other side" On the op-
posite side of the sheet of paper are crude
drawings of a revolver a billy and an open
pocket knife. Under the drawings is the
notice, These are what you are to be killed
with.
Gryggins is badly friGntened man, but he
says he cannot think of anything he has
done to cause such emnity. The letters are
still in the possession of Squire Shoemaker
Each bears a signature which is translated as
Our Band" The Justice says that several
clues have been worked up and he feels sure
that if there is any seriousness behind the
notices the parties who may attempt to put
them in force will be promptly arrested.

The California legislature has passed Law
making it misdemeanor punishable by
heavy fne, for newspaper publishers to falsely
state the circulation Of their papers. Such
law is badly needed in this state, especially
in Schuylllill county, and more particularly
at the county seat where the affidavit

such law would meet with the opposition of
the latter, although its enactment would be a
public benelaction.
