TIE President held the Bland silver
coinage bill up till the last hour he was
empowered to DO 50, and then vetoed it,
thereby in our opirion saving the coun-
try from disgrace and disaster. The veto
message is too long for our columns, but
the gist Of it is in the following extract
In my Judgment sound finance does not
commend further infusion of silver in
to our currency at this time, unaceompa-
MED by further adequate provision fol
the maintenance in our Treasury Of q
safe gold reserve" Because the bill
would insure a large addition TO our sill
yer currency, and a corresponding reduc
ton in our gold reserve, it would weaken
the power Of the Government to main
tain the parity with gold of the paper
notes and silver dollars outstanding-or
in other words the honor and credit of
the Nation.

THE Governor Of Georgia, last week,
appointed Mr. Speaker Crisp. Of the Ma
tional House Of Representatives, as sue
eessor to Z. s. Senator Col luitt, who died
in Washington a few days previously.
Mr. Crisp has declined disappointment
at the urgent solicitation of his partisan
friends in Congress, who foressw the utter
disruption of the party in the event of
an election for Speaker being forced upon
the House at this time. As the term of
the Governors sppoin.ee viii only last for
eleven months, We presume the Speaker
preferred retaining his present position
until the regular election for Senator next

Aoreat Big Calamity HowIer

A Great Big Calamity HoWler.
The only Democratic paper of Pittsburg,

over Western Pennsylvania, have had para
graph after paragraph, amounting in the ag-
gregate to many columns, denuneiatory Of
Republicans for daring to intimate that
these Democratic times are not lovely With
the goose hanging high. Their uniform and
favoriie way of putting it before their guilt
be Democratic readers up TO date, has been
to denounce all who do not swear that times
are good and getting better daily, as ''calami-
ty hOwlers."
If doubling the broad aud incssssnt lies
of Democratic papers, small and large. about
general prosperity aud all big mills and
manufactures running TO their utmost ca

must be said Of that great embodiment OF
Democracy, one Grover Cleveland? In his
message Of last Thursday, vetoing the Bland
silver bill, be says this about the good AMI
glorious Democratic times: =" The financial
disturbance which swept over the country
during the last year vas unparalleled in its
severity and disastrous consequences. There

a loss Of confidence in our (meaning his

Cold Nerve In . Robber.

The bold thief who a few weeks ago
tried to kill Charles wonnell when tie
latter refused to quietly submit to see.
ing his house robbed returned to Won
nell's house about o'clock yesterday
morning, and knocking at Mr.. Won
nells window until he was aroused
made proposition to sell the watch Sc
cured upon the night of the burglary.
Wonnell replied that he couldn't buy
the watch then If he wanted to, as he
had no money in the house, and added
that he did not care to buy the watch
back. $3.50 -r ~
"Well.r replied tho man outside the
window, ''you will surely give some
thing for it. VIII you give me ten dol
lars for it,
Wounell asked how he knew i. was
the stolen watch, and was told that a
brother knight in Wonnelrs lodge, Il. Of
H., had told him that it was, and that it
had the proper initials engraved upon it.
The man said he had bought the watch.
but refused to give his name, saying
when asked, '.Oh, You wouldn't know
me if l told you my name" Wonneli
finally told the man that if he would
leave the watch at Frank Hosbrook's
grocery he (WonnelD would leave ten
dallars at the same place.
The man departed, but the watch was
not left at the grocery. Mr.. Wonnell
thinks he recognized the voice Of hi
last visitor as that Of the burglar, and
believes that the proposition TO sell the
watch was but ruse to induce him 10
open the door, when he would be over
powered and compelled to submit to an
other robbery.-Indianapolis Journal.

Mrs. j. W. Hood had a peculiar ex
perience few days ago. She wa,
searching for u mislaid article and was
rummagins about on the closet shelves
when she laid her hand on a ladv's cole
watch. 1t dill not belong TO her. and
she was at loss to understand how l.
came there. The incident worried he,
so that she finally went to tine offi.a
where Mr.. Hood is employed TO tell him
about it. Mr.. Hood was a. much sur.
prised as his wife, and advised her TO
make further investigation. Upon
her return home she again went to the
closet shelf aud there found her silye,
spoons, which she had packed away in a
trunk in another room few DAYS be
fore.
The only satisfactory explanation they
could find was that burglars had been
In the house and had the gold watch
with them. They probably found the
silver spoons, and were looking in the
closet for other valuables when thev be-
came frightened and hurried away, leay.
ing the watch and spoons lying on the
shelf. Mrs. Hood has advertised the
watch. but 50 far has failed to find an
owner.-Chicaso Journal.

Plant Shade Trees.

Again the time Of year has rolled
around when deciduOus trees shed their
leaves. The best time to transplant de-
clduous trees Is during the fall Of their
leaves in the autumn and the bursting
Of the buds into leaf in tue spring. There
Is little choice in many portions Of this
country as TO what particular time dur.
ing tine period mentioned trees should
DO transplanted so that the soil is in
proper condition. In this section, where
winter is well defined. the planting
period is divided by cold weather into
fall and spring, and the relative advan-
tages Of the seasons are less a matter Of
moment than the fact that not nearly as
many trees are planted in either as there
ought to be. However, this is an oppor.
tune time to remind those who have a
place to plant a tree that fall is a better
time than spring to set out trees.-Mc-
Keesport Times.

\ Baby Clin bs u Ladder.

Think of u baby twenty four hours
old climbing astepladder! TWAS rather
an understood infant for that age too.
or course il could not climb up by il
self, SO the nurse carried it in her arms.
1t did NOT cry. but clapped its hands de-
lghtedly. The child was a little bow
and the climbing of the stepladder took
place IN the very room where he was
born. The mother regarded it as an iu,-
portant event evidently. IL was by her
orders that the performance took place
her interest was none the less BEGAN .
1t was all for the sake Of gratifying all
old time superstition.
Monthly nurses all agree that IL a
baby goes down stairs before it goes up
stairs its path in life will be downward
and i'll luck will attend it. Accordingly
precautions should be taken against
snch an omen. In this instance the
child having been born on the top floor
of the house it coald not be carried up
stairs, and therefore It's mother had sug.
sested the ingenious plan of having a
stepladder brought into the room so that
nurse could mount it with baby in her
arms.
But that was not all A small Testa
ment was attached by string to the
child's arm and in its chubby little fist
was placed n gold dollar. Thus reason
aole certainty was secured that the boy
would grow up both rich and pious. Al
the same time il seems very odd to SEE
such superstitious observances practiced
IN the city Of Washington in the yea,

HUMAN DETECTIVES.
Metleds of Treatment suggested For Ger
tain Cis.ses of Public Dependents.


DR.. James W. Walk, in lecture on
Detectives" before the University OF
Pennsylvania, defined the detectives as
those members of society having serious
mental or physical defects, either CON
genital or acquired This group COM
prised six classes first, the blind; sec
ond, the deaf mutes; third, insane;
fourth, the feeble minded, or idiots;
fifth, the inebriates- where drunken
ress has become disease--and sixth,
the epileptics.
DR.. Walk took up each Of these class
eS and stated what he believed 10 10
the best way to deal with them. OF the
blind and deaf he said; Blind, deaf
and feeble minded children have as
much claim 10 an education as Others,
and since their defects prevent them
from receiving il in the ordinary public
schools IT is only just tina. they should
be instructed in schools especially adapt
ed 10 their condition. Such schools are
also a most economical investment ct
public money, for by means Of the train
blind and deaf mutes become self sup
porting in adult life.
ITO fit blind children for self support
1t Is necessary that their discipline
while at school should be rigid, SO as to
impart thoroughness III the practice Of
the few industries, such as weaving and
music, which are open to them. The
managers of the best schools for the
bind now insist upon this rigid train
ing, and in this way sometimes incur
unpopularity among those who do not
understand their teal motive.
For those of the adult blind who
cannot maintain themselves In open
competition with normal workmen
there should be founded In each state
industrial homes where they may reside
and la Dor, the deficiency in their earn,
ing being supplied by beneyolence.
Where such homes are we'll conducted
they are nearly self supporting.
Under the stimulus Of the popular
interest excited by the eloquent al
dresses of the great philanthropist, DorU-
undertook 10 make adequate provision
for the insane at public expense. The
first institution tor their care in the
was the insane depart
ment OF the old Pennsylvania hospital
We have now many asylums for these
people, but not enough yet TO accommo-
date them all. Asylums should be So
regulated tina. the inmates can work
and be self supporting
DR.. Walk thought that idiots, or the
feeble minded, should not be permitted
to marry. OF epileptics he thought the
same, as their defects are hereditary.
lnebriates should be confined for long
period, during which they would b.,
forced to abstain totally. This treat
ment. he said, results often in perma.
nent cure. Philadelphia Press.
