BURNING BAD MONEY.

From the Washington Post.
A fortune in counterfeit cash. which
has been floating around the country in
the arteries of trade and commerce as
good money, and finally gathered in by
the watchful servants of the secret
service, was destroyed by the treasury
department in Washington the other
day. 1t consisted of a lump sum OF
about fifty thousand dollars in bills of
all denominations, from ten-cent shin
plasterS, for which there is consider
able demand at present in certain sec
tons of the land, up TO twenty-dollar
and one hundred-dollar bills. This
sum. which would have been sufficient
to pay the presidents salary for year
II il had been genuine, was supplement-
ed by a large number of silk and satin
hatbands stripped from the most fash
ionable chapeaux of the season, and
condemned because of representations
of certain coins which they bore.
The work was accomplished under
the supervision of the three trusty en-
ployees Of the treasury, of which Mr..
Lee W. Funk is chairman and DR..
George r. Young and Mr.. :. J. Willard
the two remaining members. For sew
eral DAYS this committee has been en-
gagged in taking an inventory OF coun-
terfeit materials of every description
that have been collected during the
last eighteen months. They are re-
quired 10 certify that every shred Of
these are safely and surely destroyed.
The money was taken from under
the locks and keys OF the secret service
officials, where it had been carefully
treasured and treated exactly as IL il
had been WORKOUT or mutilated cur
rency. 1t was wrapped in large pack
ages, just as il had been forwarded 70
Washington by express from the diff
ferent points where il was found. and
first placed under paper cutter in the
basement. where the old bills are
punched after retirement from circula-
tion. The big drawerful Of over bushel,

stairs by laborer, who was enjoined

money with which TO play the races

WHAT WOULD BURT THEM.

Where is Coxey in this campaign?
Only a few months ago he was more
talked of than any other man in the
country. But now he is never men
toned. His name is beginning to sound
strange 10 the ear. Ills march across
the country is only a laughable memory.
When that march was on. onlv a few
months ago, you will remember that in
many states the militia was called out:
that at the very foundations of the capi-
tol itself great multitude watched his
entrance into a bloodless battle: that
when he was arrested for not keep
ing off the grass every agitator IN the
country frothed and fumed at the in
justice. 1t was predicted by many that
Coxey would play a great part in the
coming campaign. He himself was
nominated for congress.
And yet Cox9y has been forgotten.
The campaign is now at its height. II
is very warm. There are a hundred
bristling issues-but nothing, nothing
at ali of Coxey.
cused of being mercenary. They have
been accused of holding money above
everything else. They have certainly
carried the art of bargaining and barter
ing and trading further than any other
nationality. They merit the censure of
being entirely too eager Tor gold. But
that characteristic brings another with
it. The American people are pre-. emil
nently practical. To make money they
have 10 be so.
Coxey's army was an idiotic move
ment. II could not benefit the idle in
dustrial classes. II did not benefit
them. 1t did absolutely nothing but af.
ford amusement for the American people
and Coxey himself. The American
people with their practicability saw that
the Coxey movement was impractical
and after a days diversion with ii thew
dropped ii.
When the campaign came on cues
tons came up which were practical and
the visionary opera 5ouffe Coxey went
by the board.
If Republican success is achieved next
month il will be due to the practical side
of Americans. The tactics of the Demo
cratic party and Its actions in congress
brought on the industrial depression
which has been weighing on the Aueri-
can republic. The manufacturers were
threatened with free trade competition
and would nOt manufacture goods.

STRICTLY BUSINESS.

This is pre-eminently a business cam
paign. Every sensible voter will con-
slider the issues from financial and
commercial standpoint and shape mis-
ballot with reference to his own national
welfare. The party and the candidate
who best represents his views upon the
economic questions now before the
country Will most likely receive his sup
port. To determine this matter he has
but to look at the record made by parties
AID candidates. Prior to March 4, 1898.
the Democratic party had been out of
power for over thirty years. During these
years the country prospered beyond any
like period in her history. Immediately
on the resumption of power by the
Democrats there was universal COL
lapse IN all branches OF business, and
general decline in values everywhere.
This is so fresh in the mind of every one,
and the disaster came with such telling
force that proof would be superfuous.
Il is enough to know that up to the day
of General Earrison's retirement bust
ness Was prosperous, and everybody had
employment of some kind. By dint of
perseverance and long continued howl
ing for change, the Democrats, Pops
and disgruntled Republicans created the
stampede which resulted in ''a change
They got what they wanted, and behold
the result. The sober, second thought
reveals the utter futility of this change.
The wise man will change his tactics,
the fool never. Every voter-no mat
ter what his acknowledgements see that
the reasons for a change now are in
finitely greater than they were two
years ago. Anything different from the
vascillating boodling policy of this adj
ministration would be desirable. No
party, or combination of parties, could
strike a more death-like blow to our
commerce than the Demo-Pop conclave
now in congress. They have done Us
up and we must put them down.

A Hayseed Philosopher.
ISpeciaI Corresnondence.1

MENDHAAf, N. J., Aug. 23.-On the
way over from BeEnardsville to this
vest pocket Alpine village / paused at
a wayside spring to partalze of the bub-
bling crystal, as was parched with
thirst from having INDUCED not wise
" but too much in salt mackerel at
breakfast. After a draft about two
minutes long and three minutes deep I
espied countryman sitting on a rail
fence tanning himself with his felt hat.
Isn't that a pretty sharp seat?' /
asked
well, yes, . replied the philosopher,
without shifting his position, cit is
pretty sharp, but what of that? If I
could sit on cushion all day, would
soon be unable to appreciate its COM
forts. But when l sit on this sharp rail
awhile my appreciation of the cushion
grows so that when / annex with it it
seems much more than a cushion. You
can only enjoy anything through appre-
citation. Take an ordinary man and give
him terrapin every day, and after awhile
he viii look upon it as so much pigs
liver. But give him pigs ears and
skunk cabbage for 10 days hand running
and then give him steWed terrapin, and
it thrills him and fills him with so re-
fined a feeling Of romantic repletion
that he can almost taste each delicious
mouthful with his shoes. Now, this rail
fence that is gnawing its way upward
into me is a large dish Of pigs ears
and skunk cabbage, and the nice easy
chair at home is a solid silver tureen
filed with terrapin swimming in
sherry.
is that the way you look at every
thing?'
1T is, " replied the hayseed philoso-
pher, because 1 know that the only
way to be happy is to be satisfied If
you are not happy, You might as well
be dead The millionaire is only fnan-
cially independent, because he is not
satisfied I always enjoy rainy weather
because it makes the fine weather
brighter. IF we didn't have to break in
new shoes, we could never appreciate
the solid comfort of old ones. If the
outside stalks Of the celery were not az
tough as hddlestrings, the heart would
never melt in your mouth like q SO
bill at Niagara Falls The white dove
is made whittier by the background of
black velvet. And if this fence rail is
sharper than . serpent's tooth it really
bears the same relation to my feather
bed that a gold frame does to a beauti-
full oil painting. This rail, though
hard, makes my bed softer, just as salt
pork, which is in itself rank, imparts
q chaste epicurean flavor to the fried
oyster. Every dark dress coat sleeve
has silver satin lining, and when it is
pouring rain you can bet that the top Of
the storm is golden with sunshine, and
the flowers know it too. -
And when / left him he was still
roosting on the rail, his face beaming
with q chaste and rosy smile.
