A Inke ON Mai. Ricketts,,

This joke is told on our popular
townsman, Major Ricketts,, Cashier
of the Southern Bank.
A farmer who is pretty well known
stepped into the bank recently to
make a large deposit.
Cashier Ricketts,, who generally
occupies an easy chair at a desk
rather in the rear of the bank, hap
pened to be at the cash window.
Looking at the farmer over his
glasses the Major noticed his face
was familiar but he was unable to
call the farmers name. He said
'tgood morning to the gentleman
and Immediately surmised a plan
ne thought would work admirably.
81 want to make a deposit, Ma
jor," said the farmer.
Mr.. Ricketts, picked up his pen,
mixed it and just before making a
mark he halted a second and said,
without looking up:
"Let's see, how do you spell
your name?"
The Major was caught in his own
trap. The farmer replied in an in
dicative tone that he spelled it
SMITH, with a big S.
The Major always carries good
cigars and the farmer consumed

have been changed 20 that they
read quite different. We saw one
note on which $40 had been paid
defaced so as to read 81, on another
the date had been changed bringing
it due in 1894 instead of 1895. Still

A Letter From Texas.

Correspondence of the LEDGER
HILLsBoRo, TEXAS, Jan. TO-
Business hours are over with me
now, or | could not get time to write
you. We arrived here last Satur-
day morning and it was raining-a
welcome visitor. They say here
that they have not had a good rain
for at least a year. Our horses were
all in good shape, except perhaps a
few skins and bruises and were very
sore and tired. This place is nearly
as large as Mexico, but does a great
deal more business in my opinion.
They have not as good streets, but
they are much wider. They have
no electric lights, but the Council is
making arrangements for them.
heather have they water works, ex-
cept what nature has given them.
They have an artesian well here
which forces the water through pipes
over the city-the same as our water
works, but not quite so strong, but
will force water through a hose with
force enought to wash off a horse.
They have had some very destruct-
i've fires here; all one side of the
square except one building was
burned; also one barn neal town
with 80 head of fine horses was
burned.
Now as to the climate. Ii is
simply immense. About the first
thing | saw after we crossed Red
River was vegetables growing in the
gardens. We are 40 miles south
of Red River. 1t has been so dry
that the grass has not made much
progress, but since the rain it looks
like Missouri in the month of May
but the roads since the rain are as
rough as Bob Kemp on crap shoot
ers. The people are very courteous
to strangers and especially to Mis-
souriaus.
Times are fairly good here; tht
banks seem to have plenty of money
and the farmers are prosperous, anc
they all love to look at good horses
A stable of Missouri horses draws
here equal to an Uncle Tom Cabir
Company in Mexico.

Hon. q. Z. ROthMeli's Funeral.

B. R. C%authorn, member Of the
Board of Curators of the State Uni
versity, attended the funeral of Hon.
G. F. Rothwell at Moberly. The
funeral was largely attended by
prominent citizens from all parts o
the State, a special train load being
present from Columbia. Hon. G.
F. Rothwell was President of the
Board of Curators Of the State Uni
versity and was one of its most
active friends. Three splendid
speeches were delivered at the flu
neral, one by Col. Wiley in behalf
Of the Moberly bar, one by
Prof. Woodward in behalf
of the Board of Curators
and another in behalf of the faculty
of the State University by President
Jesse. Mr.. Cauthorn says that Mr..
Rothwell was by all odds the hard
est working and most faithful friend
the University ever had and that i,
will be hard to fill his place as Pres.
ident of the Board of Curators. Mr.
RothwelI had a splendid mind fol
details and was more thoroughly
conversant with the business of the
institution than any other man con
nected with it. On leaving the cam
pus only a few days before his death
he remarked: IF only l can live
to see the main building of the I'm
iyersity built, l will die happy"

Coin the Seigni0rsge.

Mr.. Carlisle has decided that the
emergency requires him to issue
$50, OOO, 600 in bonds under author
ity contained in the act of 1875. He
will use the proceeds to maintain
his gold reserve and set free for
ordinary Treasury uses an equivalent
amount of money.
Democrats in the Southwest will
view the decision with regret and
foreboding. They are as anxious
as Mr.. Carlisle that the credit of
the Government be sustained, but
their political education causes them
to look suspiciously upon the easy
one of borrowing power to fill gaps
made by extravagant appropriations.
Mr.. Carlisle has taken upon him.
self the full responsibility without
waiting for action in Congress. He
feels bound to use all authority at
his disposal to prevent possible de-
fault in currency or other Govern
ment obligations. 1t is idle to at
tribute a different purpose to him,
and if there are attacks to be made
they should be directed at his judg-
ment and not at his motives.
By this sudden cutting of the
Gordian knot he has partly settled
the problem of a Treasury deficit.
But not wholly. Revenues are still
falling behind and expenses con.
tinue.
His bond issue makes it easier te
utilize the silver seigniorage. There
can be no trouble about ordering
coinage of this new idle silver and
issuing notes against it. These
notes will have the treasury behind
them and will be as good in every
respect as any currency outstand.
ing. They will go into circulation
and at least temporarily increase
the supply of money in the hands
of the people.
In the worst of the panic last
summer the silver certificates and
notes were taken everywhere with.
out question. They even brought
a premium during the currency
famine in August. Now that the
Secretary has declared his intention
of using his discretion to the full
limit in protecting his redemption
reserves, the most timid stickler fol
perfect credit cannot doubt the
Treasury's ability to keep 500, 900,
600 or $50, 900, 900 more of silver
on a parity with the rest of the cur
rency.
Using the seigniorage will, there
fore, relieve the Government, ado
to the available currency, tend t.
stop boarding and give the lie tt
the gold bugs who have said tina
nothing more would be done for sill
yer.
The Republic does not deceive
itself with the idea that coming thu
seigniorage is in any respect a re
storation of bimetallism. 1t is only
utilizing our money resources tt
assist the Government in discharg
ing its obligations and maintaining
its credit. 1t is better by far THAI
more bonds o. more greenbacks
1t is turning inactive bullion int
active money. 1t offers to business
an additional volume of good dol
lars, if business can use them.
Before any more bonds are offer
ed, Congress should order the coin
