MORE EVIDENCE.

The election of 1894 is thing OF
the past, but the campaign of 1896
has begun, and it is to the interest
of the people to "read up and
keep posted on the issues that are

tied. Therefore, we publish letter

oval street is already beginning
to occupy itself with the prospects
of the congressional elections. The
main matter around which m
terest centers is the currency ques-
ton. 1t is taken for granted that
this issue must come up for settle
ment, even though the session OF
congress be the short one; and
much interest turns on the question
how far the disposition of the
next congress may be changed on
the currency question The posi-
bility that bo.h parties, owing to
party competition, may bid for the
votes of the Populists is the main
cause of and uneasiness on this ac-
count. 1t is, however, very possible
that the influence of any more Pop
ulist theories may be thwarted by
congress taking up the question
NEXT December and putting it
through before the 4th of March.
There has been no congressional ac-
ton to show very clearly how con
pressional opinion stands upon the
currency issue; but among mem
hers of the house who have been
best situated to form a judgment
there is strong hope that 1t may
be found possible to carry through
before next March. a measure that
will set at rest the silver and the
fat money crazes through putting
our bank currency system upon a
broader and more liberal and yet
absolute secure basis, and ny sub
shutting it for the five hundred
millions of government notes which
now constitute the weak feature OF
our monetary system. If this can
he done, the monetary complexion
of the new congress will be mat
fer of secondary Importance, 1t
rests very much with the men OF
6nance-whose experience affords
the very best qualifications for guild
inq opinion on this question,-to
show the way towards an early and
wise settlement of this vexed ques'
,;on. There are ways in which
thew can make guidance influential ;
and in proportion as they discreetIy
use their power will be the chances
of a final placing of the currency
settlement beyond the reach OF both
silver maniacs and Populists.

Trouble Over a Saloon.

From the Hazleton Standard.
A large crowd was present at Alder
man Laubach's on Monday to witness
the hearing of Austin Harvey, of Hope
vile, who was charged with breach of
contract by John Fairhurst. Harvey
had agreed to dispose of his saloon for
$3.50, and accordingly Fairhurst paid
him $50 as guarantee of good faith,
and at once came to this city, packed all
his house hold effects and engaged teams
to move to Hopeville. In fact every
preparation had been made for the trans
ferring of the hotel.
The following morning Fairhurst re-
ceived notice not to move, as Harvey
had decided to sell his saloon to a
Pleasant Hill Hungarian. After hear
ing several witnesses, the alderman gave
judgement in the sum of $50 and costs
against Harvey and in favor of Fair

Didn't Like His Necktie,
From the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
Patrick Murray, of Perth Amboy, N.
j., had an exciting experience few
days ago with a mine mule at Summit
Hill, Pa, which he will never forget.
When he reached the bottom of the
slope and proceeded to explore the
gangway he attracted the attention of
one of the mules. He is at a loss to
know what angered the animal, but the
beast came for him at full speed, and
Murray started for heading with
nothing but the light of miners lamp
to guide him.
1t was race for life. The mule was
rapidly closing the gap, when the Jer-
seyman reached two mine cars. He
plunged between them. The mule coun-
termarched and began using his hind
feet with terrible effect. He kicked the
stout oak planks of the car into kindling
wood, and while he was occupied in this
manner Murray made his escape and re-
turned to the surface. He is fully salts
fled that the mine mule is not to be tri-
fled with, especially if you are tender
foot with a red necktie.
