Origin of Old Mother Goose

There are many things in the his
tory of Old South Church, Boston,
which helps to make its name fam
Gus. In its list of membership in 1898
was the immortal name of Mother
Goose, whose name is so famous
among young children in many
parts of the world. Her name, as
it appeared on the church book, was
Elizabeth Goose, having, about that
time, married wealthy man by
the name of Isaac Goose. She was
his second wife, and began her ca
reer as step-mother with ten of
his children to look after, and to
this number she, in due time, add
ed six more-siXteen in all. This
large family of goslings was the
cause of her writing that immortal
poem:
''There was an old woman who lived in a
shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know
what to do"
Her name before her marriage
was Elizabeth Foster. Though dead
many years ago her memory, about
Christmas, is still alive among The
children of nearly all the civilized
| world.

WASHINGTON, Dot. 31.-The announce

American cattle by the senate.vf Ham

an exclusion of American cattle and

That the Texas fever was merely a
ground which Germany can adopt for
enforcing retaliatory measures against
German interests IN the sugar schedule
of the tariff bill, was the prevalent i'm
preston.
The German ambassador, however,
assured the secretary Of state that the
measure of exclusion was inspired solely
by sanitary reasons and had no political
motive behind it. Government officials
are obliged to take this view of the case,

BERLIN, Oct. 81. - The prohibition
against the landing of American cattle
and American dressed meat, announced
by decree of the Hamburg senate on
Saturday last, has been extended to
every port of Germany. Interviews
with the officials of the interior depart
ment, of the Prussian husbandry de-
part,nent and the German foreign Of
fee would seem to show that the prohi-
bition is of a preventive nature and tho
action of individual German states.
The foreign office officials, for instance,
state that the prohibition is no affair Of
theirs, as the measures adopted are
purely administrative aud sanitary, and
that they strictly belong to each Ger
man state. The empire, as such. these
officials add, has not taken any steps to

Pullman1and:his Workmen.

The real secret of Pullman's hatred
of his wotkmen was their right to
vote as they pleased. He said since
the strike:
Il have done as much for labor as
any man living, and have always tried
to treat my workingmen squarely.
But 1 am sick and Disguised at their
treachery. Normally we returned in
Pullman from 1000 to $500 Republi-
can majority. I confidently expected
that we should do as much for Harri-
son. I had not the slightest idea that
the majority would fall below 1000 in
any event. You may imagine my sur
prise when the returns came in and
Pullman had cast majority of more
than 1000 for Cleveland"
Mr.. Pullman's manner become i'm
pressive and he leaned forward and
said slowly and impressively:
81 made up my mind that that was
the last of my sympathy for working
men. I made up my mind that my
employees in Pullman were not worth
caring for, and that would go ahead
and cut wages to the bottom notch.
would get business if business
could be had. If the working people
of Pullman wanted to vote against
their own interests and against my
interests made up my mind that
they could take the consequences.
Now let us sec how they like it."
Then the true cause of the reduc-
ton of wages was not the loss suffered
by the company in taking contracts
below the actual cost of the work to
to be done i'll order that the laborers
might not be idle, but because they
exercised the rights of American
citizens and cast their ballot against
the Republican party i'll 1892. For
this independence in exercising their
God-given rights, the wages of the
Pullman workmen are reduced and
their families brought to the verge of
starvation.
Shame upon a system of legislation
that makes such thing possible i'll a
free country.

BiIIIetalliSIn.

There is an astonishing amount of
mystification about the term "bimet-
allism." State conventions in several
States are using it as if it were posi-
BILE to believe in bimtallisme and the
gold standard at the same time.
Thus, one Democratic convention re-
Gently resolved in favor of bimetal-
hsm, but went on to state, in effect,
that it meant the use of gold, silver
and paper, all maintained at par with
gold. But that is not bimetallism Mt
all. No man is bimetallist who
wants silver to be coined, and paper
to be issued, redeemable in gold only,
or it's intrinsic value measured only.
Bimetallism is the unlimited use of
gold and silver for money for every
purpose for which money is used.
History demonstrates that the vari
ances i'll the production of each metal,
though at times large, have never, in
the long run of a century, failed to
offset and balance each other, so that
the Joint use of both on a fixed ratio
has given an ample and staple cur
rency basis to the worlds business.
At no period in history has the pro.
duction of either silver or gold alone
been enough to keep up the worlds
necessary stock of money. This
shows the necessity of using both TO.
gether. And the hard times that now
prevail in all civilized countries are
the direct results of the attempt Of
their governments, under England's
and Germany's lead, to ignore that
necessity and do business Oh gold
alone.--Ncw York Recorder.

and public opinion were all wrong. He
had testified on the trial that he alone
had access to the vaults and knew the
combinations of the safes, but he did
not know that thieves had stolen that
knowledge from him and were robbing
him. The grand and petit juries and
the court, as we'll as prominent citizens
