Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1893-07-03

NEW YdRK'S MONUMENT OF two states, the
AT GETTYSBURG. surviving generals
of the battle and thousands of yeter-
ans and visitors from other states were
present to lend impressiveness to the
scene, and that day will go down in his
tory as one of the greatest at Gettysburg
since its wheat fields ran red with the
blood of Confederate and Union dead.
II Recalled the Day of Battle.
The wheat stood ripe on the stalk as it
did thirty years ago when the armies of
Meade and Lee met and the Union troops
CLEANED victory after three days varying
conflict. Smoke again hung over the field,
but it was from the salute in honor of the
dead and not the smoke of battle. The
first feature of the day was the reception
OF Major Gen. Geo. s. Greene by his brigade
on Culp's hill. a platform had been
erected among the trees where Greene's
men held a most important point on the
right of the line of battle of the second
days fight. Within view of a score of
monuments erected to mark the places
where comrades fell the survivors and
their guests gathered and saluted their
brigade commander, who is in his SD
year, and is the oldest Living participant
in the battle of Gettysburg
Hearty Cheers for Gen. Greene.
General Robert Avery acted as presiding
officer On the platform were Governor
Roswell p. Flower, of New York, and staff;
General Sickles, General Slocum, Colonel
Stegman, who was wounded not fifty
yards away, and the representatives of the
Sixtieth, Sevelty-eighth, One Hundred
and Second, One Hundred and Thirty-sev-
enth, and One Hundred and Forty-ninth

Cash is scarce in Billville; a
silver dollar looks as big It's
the setting sun. and a ten
cent piece is thirteen times
larger than the moon.
The Billville clelring house
was not a success; the cash.
ier not only cleared the
house, but the country, too.
We learn from The Con-
gressional Record that the
congressman from Bilivi,'e
had the floor" This is too
bad: he promised his constit-
u,,nts that he would sober up
and take II chair.
We rejoice now that Cleve-
land did not appoint us cor.

ness at home is better than
sudden death in a foreign
language.
We fell off the train last
week and had our leg cnt off;

A reporter for a New York
ne wspaper thus records the
reason for the drink habit
given at all experience meet
ing of reformed drunkurds IL
Bartholmew's Mission:
"Some had become drunk
ards because they had too
much money, and Others De
cause they did not have any;
some because they had u
work too hard and others .,p
Cause they did not have any
thing to do; some because
they had 2amblsd and lost.
and othess because they had
gambled and won; some be-
cause they had no children,
and Others because they had
more children than t. h G Y
could support; some because
they were kept too closely
tied to their mothers apron
strings when young, and 9th
ers because too great freedom
had been allowed them by
their parents; some because
they had shrews OF wives to
drive them astray, Others be
cause they had no wives to
keep them straight; some be-
cause they had no friends,
Others be:aus,thay had too
many friends; some because
the weather was too hot, and
Others beca use the weather
was too cold"
Referring to this the New
YORK Void saws:
There are reasons "thick

failing of the race. But it is
odd that nobody gave the
honest, If not the very seIsa-
tlonal, reason that he drank
because he was thirsty.

How Uncle Sam Ruys Gold. The Gov
ernment Assay Offices.
| st. Louis Globe Democrat.
| A place seldom visited by
the public is the assay Office
OF the United States. W Il e. re
gold is bought for the gov.
ernment.A There are but five
such Offices in the U. S., one
in St.. Louis, one in Helena
Mont, one in Boise City, Ida
no. a fourth at Charlotte, Y.
e. and the fifth at the branch
mint in Denver. The office
here is in charge of Mr.. Eli.
OF Jewett, and two assist
ants. 1t is as complete an
Office as can be found in the
world, beng equipped entire
l.y new since it's location in
the old custom house. As the
agent of the government Mr..
Jeweit buys all gold offered
IN amounts above 800, pay
ing for the same az soon as
it can he melted and assay ed,
A great many people ale
ignorant of the fact that the
government buys gold out
side the mints. The moment
the assayer begins to drum
trade, too, that moment he
drives it away. By such ac-
ton he causes the public to
believe that he represents a
private company specuiating
on it's purchases. This idea
is encouraged by the gold
buyers, jewelers., pawn. bro
kers and others, who would
prefer a field clear of the Uni
ted States. Az a matter Of
fact, it makes no difference
to the assayer whether he re.
ceives one ounce or one mill
ion ounces, as hp is paid a
certain Hxed salary. He re-
ceives anything in the shape
of gold, whether it be. the So
called retorts, bars, dust or
jewelers. straps. Whatever
shape it is in, he takes il for
what is worth. The govern
ment pays the expense OF as
certainihg what it il worth.
The Irocess of receiving and
1irpDsing of the gold il OF
considera BILE interest. On de-
livery it is deposited on scales
capable Of weighing 5000
ounces Troy, though SO deli
cately balanced that Mr.. Jew
EFT uses them to weigh his
letter mail. Gold brought in
early in the morning can be
dosposed of so the seller can
receive his check in the after
noon. On being weighed, a
check is made of each sepa-
rate lot designating t h e
weight, name Of seller, ori-
gin, etc. When the If citing
is completed and t h e gold
tmned out in bars and assay
made, a complete record is
inpde, showing the origin,
where it is possible to learn
it, and the degree Of the fine
ness of the metal. The bar
is then stamped, ready for
shipment to the mint at Phil
adelphia. The stamp is pro-
tected from counterfeiting by
the same penalties provided
eosnterfeiting coin.
