CAN'T Get the Money.

The gold bug assertion that the banks
Of New York and other large cities are
now overlooking with idle money is be-
ing refuted. This condition OF the
banks has been reported for some
weeks and SO large had the surplus be-
come, according to the reports, it was
called congestion"
The facts are that there are no glut-
In money volume in New York or else
where. The money surplus Of the large
cities is not sufficient to create a con-
gestion. This has been ascertained by
applicants for money from Mr.. Scott.
When application is made for some OF
this ''congested" money the applicant
is Informed that his collateral" is not
good. If money was SO abundant as re-
ported the holders Of it would not be SO
critical Of the collateral 1t is con-
dition Of scarce money that demands
iron clad security. 4#.at..
Evidently the claim that money is a
glut in the banks Of New York is false
and is reported to accomplish an OBJ
ject by the banker-Wall Street gang.
It is lie and there is no truth in it.
The object is to force congress to issue
gold bonds-Southern Mercury.
G. HI. and G. o. p.
A calamity bowler and G. o. p. met,
and in the course Of the conversation
the @. II. remarked:
'Times are hard, friend, G. o. r., and
money very scarce" ...
"Pshaw" said G. 0. p, there's just
as much money in the country as there
ever was"
"Where is itY' asked the G. n. .,.
"Why in the bank" said the G. o. p.
Presently the conversation turned
upon the weather and the G. o. P. re-
marked that he didn't know what he
would do for water for his stock II It
didn't rain pretty soon.
'Theres just as much water for
stock now as there ever was" said the

very certain, have no idea of making

way to come out as q candidate. He

State has and should he enter the race.

reform faction. His quarrel with Sen

it would throw the State machine

battle as it comes here from the Pal

CATION is high on the scent. and the
trial will be followed close from this
end of the line.

"Somc of them arc pulling on the
bit and some Of them on the brooches. :
is the way Goucrnor Tillman regards
the political situation i'm this State SO
far as the Reform faction of the De
mocratc party is concerned.
Governor Gilman can always be de-
pended on to speak plainly ON any
political matter. There is no policy
about him. If he thought he would
offend his best friends in opposing
their wishes he would express his CON
VictiOns no matter who it hurt. This
is why the Governor is appealed to
to give his advice on political matters.
His advice has been asked many times
recently as to what course the Reform
crs should pursue in the coming cam
paign He has not given any free cX-
preston on the later developments
until yesterday when Register re-
porter saw him and obtained his con-
sent to an extended interview.
The Governor answered freely and
put to him, and at the same time
showed IL deep interest in affairs as
they stand.
Governor, you have seen the call
OF the Collcton Rcformcrs for mass
meeting in that county on Monday.

to Il State convention, and an invita-
tiOn to the other counties to do like
wise. What do you think of il 2"
The Governor answered after some
consideration Of the question II

views on the public ON matter which

people Il feeling Of rcstlcssncss and an
uncertainty arising from all this talk
and advocacy of an early convention
II the 'antis' were making any active

how it would be desirable or necessary
TO concentrate the Reform vote in
support Of one leader, but the advocates
OF Il convention to nominate Il Reform

get that such IL nomination. without
previous discussion to allow the people
to Judge of the fitness Of the various
aSpirantS, is totally inconsistent with
all our previous professions and
practices, and must necessarily breed
cart-burnings among the candidates
who may be cut ut and cause disgust
among their friends. The dangers
which some men profess to see if
there is a free.for-all race in the
primary, do not appear to mo as great
as those which will confront us should

Mrs. Cleveland. Though he has five
beautiful carriages, including landau,
brougham, victoria and phaeton-the
last his wife's own vehicle--he prefers
q surry, which has less style about it
than any of the others. Willis, the
White House coachman, drives No

mendation of James G. Blaine that the
District Commissioners some wears
ago required the theatres of Washing
ton to adopt electric lights. He in
sisted that such precaution against
fire was much more important here
than in any other city in the country,
because it often happens that play
Is attended by the chief magistrate,
the members Of his cabinet and other
conspicuous men on the same night.
Thus q catastrophe of this sort might
actually wipe out at one stroke the
principal men in the nations affairs,
leaving the ship of state without cap

family and to appropriate amusements.
On that day he does no work unless it
is absolutely necessary. In the MORN
ing he attends divine service at the
First Presbyterian Church. He would
even prefer that friends should not
visit the White House on this holiday.
He is very fond of playing with the
children, though he is not expert like
Gen. Harrison in making up bear
stories for the entertainment of tho
little ones. Even Baby Ruth, however,
is not old enough yet to appreciate
bear stories. Mr.. Cleveland is hardly
nimble enought to indulge in pillow
fights, at which his predecessor was u
proficient.
Though so hard a worker Mr.. Cleve-
land hugely enjoys vacation. He is
a thoroughgoing sportsman and very
fair shot. In this respect he is super
iOr to Gen. Harrison, who on one
melancholy occasion distinguished him
self by knocking over a tame hog in
mistake for coon. He thinks it
great fun to pop at ducks from behind
u blind, for which amusement the
Chesapeake affords unusual facilities !;
but beyond all things he loves to roll
for blue-tish 1t is not very often that
he gets time to use the billiard table
which President Garfield put up in the
basement of the White House, but he
is fairly expert at the game. He plays
n good hand at whist and is rather
strong at poker, according to the testi-
mony of intimate friends who have
contended with him at small limit.

Tillman's schemes are penetrating the
ears OF Carolina Congressman here and
causing fright 1t is whispered about
now that he is arranging his hands so
as to take every trick in the game.
He will not be content to be Senator
unless he can make John Gary Evans
Governor, and to accomplish this he is
contemplating the coup which Wade
Hampton made and which resulted in
his election to the Senate and placed
Tillman in the Governors seat. This
is the plan as it comes to Carolina's
representatives here.
Governor Tillman will head the State
ticket for Governor, with John Gary
Evans as his candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. Then with the whip in
hand, Tillman will have himse elected
to the Senate and the Governorship
falls to Evans
Tillman's friends here say he cannot

Who would not enjoy being Presi-

Well, it is all matter of taste. If
you like work and worry for sixteen

experience agreeable For the sake
OF illustration, take typical day as it
is spent by Mr.. Cleveland.

gets out OF bed. He is q rapid dresser

is MIR. Cleveland's family butler. His
most conspicuous characteristic is dis

him for any information, no matter
how t.ifiing, he replies: sour folks

he is government employe, acting as
steward of the White House.
The President escorts his wife down

opposite her husband at circular

her own fair hands. In the middle of

orchids from the conservatories of the
Executive Mansion. Sinclair, mute
and observant, waits, assisted by Il
