In an article in the North American Re-
view, Hon. G. s. Gleed makes the boast that
Topeka is the only city OF its size in the
world where ''the moral tone Of the people
is 80 high as TO successfully forbid the exist
ence within it's limits of saloon for the
sale of liquor as a beverage" That is nice,
but Charley should have explained that the
present Topeka method Of enforcing pro-
hibition, and the short distance to Kansas
City, make saloons in Topeka wholly un-
necessary.-LawrenOe Journal, January II.
It is not even necessary to go to
Kansas City. In Topeka they are
called clubs instead of saloons. That's
all the difference. It is only a rose
with another name The smell is just
the same.

PROSPERITY is dead. Since the
corpse was found in the hands Of
Doctor Democracy, he is accused Of
malpractice, and accused by the re-
publican doctors who had been sp-
plying the same treatment for years.

WILL TIE CAPITAL" BXPLAIN9

If any defense can be made Of President
Clevel and's administration, the people want
to know it.-Cspital, January 10.
Only a short time ago the Capital
said that President Clevel nd would
make his first mistake when he should
depart from the policy of his prede-
cessor. 1t would seem to be in order
now for the Capital to point out
wherein he has departed from that
policy.

TIE BONDS OFFERED.

In another column will be found
Mr.. Carlisle's offer Of $5O,0O0,0OO Of
5 per cent. bonds as the first INSTALL
ment Of the proposed issue Of $780,
100000 ostensibly to increase the
gold reserve in the United States
treasury. Notwithstanding the pres
ent congress has thus far been the
servile tool Of the administration, it
has been deemed safer to distort the
act Of January IA, 1876, so as to make
it cover this manifestation of Willful
contempt Of public sentiment rather
than take the chances of Drawing the
the opposition that the introduction
Of a bill to authorize a new issue Of
bonds would provoke. In fact the
fate Of such bill if introduced would
be by no means certain, and those
who favor the scheme have expressed
their preference for this method of
carrying it out.
1t is true that the act of January
IA, 1875, authorizes the issue of bonds
only for the purpose of resumption
Of specie payments. II is true that
specie payments have been resumed
as far as they ever will be, and have
been resumed also upon gold basis,
but what Of that3 This sdministrs-
tion needs no authority for ats acts
save the will of the sutocrst Of the
White House, and evidently he has
long ago concluded that he can do
anything he chooses to do without
danger Of impeachment. While there
might not be sufficient administration
support in congress TO authorize an
issue Of bonds, it is doubtful also if
su ficient force can be mustered to
institute impeachment proceedings if
the bonds are issued contrary to
law.
Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas, has intro
duced the following resolution in the
house which has been referred to the
judiciary committee and upon which
that committee has decided to make
q favorable report;
Resolved, That il is the sense Of the house
Of representatives that the secretary Of the
treasury has no authority under existing
law TO issue and sell the bonds Of the United
States, except such as iS conferred upon
him by the sCb approved January IA, 1875,
entitled, "An RCB TO provide for the re-
sumption Of specie payment" and that the
money derived from the sale Of bonds is
sued under that Rcs cannot be lawfully ap.
piled 10 any purpose except those specified
therein.
It is announced that this resolution
cannot be considered in the house,
however, until after the tariff ques-
tion has been disposed Of, and as the
vote upon that question is not to be
taken until the 10th, nothing will be
heard of the resolution this month al
least; and it is very uncertain what
will be done with il when it is re-
ported.
], Senator PETER also introduced a
resolution IN the senate on the 18th
inst, reCiting the letter of the secre-

this body the secretary Of the treas
ury has no authority for issuing or
selling bonds as proposed" Up to
this writing we have seen no action
taken upon this resolution, and it
may be doubted if any will be taken.
On the same day the bill came up
for consideration in the senate to
make an appropriation of $4,000 for
the erection of a monument to Gen
eral John Stark. Senator Morgan,
speaking upon this bill, made the
following well timed remark:
We Cnnnot afford to borrow money at s
per cent. to build monuments, and yet it ia
what we are about 20 do.
After a long debate, however, the
bill passed; and we have another
illustration of the fact that while the
government can appropriate any
amount Of money to erect monu-
ments to dead heroes it cannot sppro-
pirate a dollar to keep its living
heroes from starvation. When Sens-
tor PETER introduced his bill a few
days ago 'to provide funds for imme-
diste use in relieving want and des-
titution throughout the country" it
was promptly sent to its final burial
place in the pigeon hole Of q senate
committee. Notwithstanding this bill
provided for the coinage of the silver
bullion now owned by the govern
ment TO supply the required funds,
and Notwithstanding the money thus
appropriated would go Immediately
into circulation among the people and
tend to relieve the business depres-
SION, such use Of government money
wonld be paternslistic and could moi
be thought Of for a moment; still the
same government can borrow money
OF 5 per cent Interest to build monu'
ments to the dead. The American
people must either be dead or become
criminals before che government can
do anything for them.
But this is a digresslon. In the
absence of congressional action
againt the proposed bond issue, Cen
eral Master Workman Sovereign Of
the Knights of Labor, proposes to
make the effort to enjoin the score
tary of the treasury and prevent the
issue Of the bonds by a restraining or
der Of the supreme court. The court,
however, is as much q tool Of the
money power as the administration,
and the only purpose that will be
served by these proceedings will be
to more effeCtuRlly direct the atten.
ton Of the people to the subject
Notwithstanding all opposition, the
probability is that the bonds will be
issued, and We may next conjecture
the main purpose of them. This il
unquestionably the retirement of the
remaining greenbacks outstanding
This is the only money now IN the
country that does not pay tribute K

THE TIMES job department has print
ed ballots for several of the surrounding
towns, besides those for Rockingham.
Under the new law the work of prepar-
ing and printing the ballots is quite
complicated, there being several sec
tons which may be interpreted in diff
ferent ways. The town clerks in this
vicinity have come to f. A. Bodies for
instruction and he has studied the mat
ter so carefully that those who follow
his style will have model ballots against
which there can be no cloud OF sus-
picion as to their correctness.
A. A. Halliday and Son expect to
make arrangements for the sale of the
new variety of tomato which they
have had under cultivation for the past
four years. The name given italia
days Early Prolific-has been fully
justified by the results obtained by the
Messrs. Halliday during the time that
they have been engaged in the cultiva-
ton. Mr.. A. A. Halliday showed the
TINES man 46 other varieties of toma-
toes, embracing all the principal ones
on the market at his gardens on
Webb's Terrace, stating that the seeds
of all including the Early Prolific were
planted on the same day, the plants all
transplanted on the same day and that
the fruit of the Early Prolific ripened
% days earlier than the fruit of any O.
the other plants. The fruit of this
plant is harder and clearer and the
yield is larger The number of seeC
chambers is greater but there are fewe
seeds, it taking nearly eight bushels o
fruit to yield one pound Of seed whereas
ordinarily pound of seed will be OBJ
tanned from one bushel of fruit.

High jumping Horse.

The Walpole correspondent of the
Keene Sentinel tells this yarn about a
citizen of this place: "TThe Bellows
Falls fish peddler who makes periodi-
cal visits to the village ran up against a
streak of bad luck one day last week.
AS he was going down depot hill on
his way home something about the
harness broke which let the thiils loose.
The frightened horse became unman-
ageable and ran the wagon against the
telephone pole, and left it there. He
then ran down TO the Connecticut river
bridge and jumped the side railing
close up to the entrance of the bridge,
landing on the dry bed of the river be-
low. Incredible as it may seem, this
equine bridge jumper escaped with
only few bruises which did not pre-
vent his being taken home the same
day. The peddler himself was not
hurt

venting further damage. Mr.. Putnam

Fresh Water Sailors.

The new club house of the Pine Dell
Boat club was opened last Tuesday
evening with a reception and dance
and more than 100 guests, besides the
club members, were present. Many of
the members carried parties up in their
boats and the hacks made numerous
trips back and forth. At O'Clock near
ly all the guests had arrived and soon
after dancing was commenced. Migrants
orchestra furnishing music. The broad
piazza furnished ample room for those
who did not care to dance, and for
couples to stroll between the figures,
and the dell was scene of gayety and
pleasure.
The illuminations were remarkably
handsome, long lines of Japanese Ian
terms being strung along either side of
the path leading to the road, along the
waters edge and at the entrance on the
highway. The piazza and interior of
the house were gay with bunting and
lanterns, the whole presenting beau
tiful sight when viewed from the river
or from the opposite shore. A locomo-
tive headlight placed on the shore near
the landing stage sent it's rays beaming
down the river, a beacon light for boats
bound for the house. Refreshments of
ice cream, cake and coffee were s rived
by Caterer Aldrich.
The idea of club house for the fresh
water mariners was conceived two years
ago, but died an untimely death. This
summer it was revived with some
changes, with the result that the house
was built at Milliken's bend on land
owned by Hon. William A. Russell.
The house was built for summer occu-
pancy, but will be fitted with stoves
SO that it will be comfortable in winter
and will probably be used occasionally
during cold weather for social gather
ings of the members, especially when
the river is fit for skating. No pleas
anter spot on the whole river could have
been selected, it being sheltered enough
to escape the severe storms, yet catch
ing the cool breezes from the river in
the summer. From the piazza view
of a mile or more can be obtained.u l
and down the river and it is easily ac
cessible from both land and water A
path has been built to the road above
and steps lead down to the water where
float is moored to afford landing fol
: boats. Membership in the club is linn
) tied to 25 and the list is full. The only
way a person can become member
now is by purchasing share from some
member who wishes to leave, the shares
being transferable on consent Of the
, ! club. But from the good times that APP
pear ahead, it is not probable that any
Of the members will care to sell.
