Hasn't II Ley to Stand On.

Here's strong point in the bond
case. The law of 1873 prohibits the
reduction of greenbacks below the
amount then outstanding, which was
s346. 100000. They may be redeemed,
if he holders ask it. but must be re-
issued. This practically annuls the
law of 1875. under which Carlisle is
operating, certainly until ali the gold
in the treasury is exhausted. Though
there is now $4,000, 900 OF gold in the
Treasury, which can be use to redeem
issued for more gold. Carlisle's claim
has not leg to stand on.-Noncon-

Did You Ever Think Of This:

Here is something that every Ameri-
can should tack up on his memory and
never take it down. It looks beyond
the bounds of reason, yet it is as true
as gospel.
The public debt of the country,
state. national, and municipal, is, at a
very low estimate, placed at $50, OOO,-
100000. The total amount of money
of all kinds in circulation, is given by
the Treasury Department at $780,
100000. This shows the debt to be
just twenty times the amount of our
circulation.
must necessarily pay interest twenty
times, on the supposition that every
dollar of the currency is actually in
circulation. As fully one-half of the
currency is tied up in banks and misers'
stockings, so each dollar in actual cir
culation must pay interest forty times
each year.
Surprising the average interest to be
per cent. each dollar must pay in in
terest each year 81 10. Thus the
usurers draw from every dollar in cir
culation nearly two and a half times
the full face value Think of this

YOU vote for him and-for the system

body goes hungry, who is it? The
man who labors, or the man who does
not?
Who is it that feeds the world yet

at once!
Who is it that raises the sheep, spins
the wool. weaves the cloth, makes all
fine clothes-and vet goes in rags 313
days in the year? You are not good
at guessing" therefore do not Try. 1t
might wrench your "guesser."
Who is it that builds all the fine
carriages and vet "hoofs it" in order
to save nickel? And who is it that
will cheerfully carry Il torch light and
wear monkey uniform during the
campaign vote for the silk hat
and fine carriage on election? You
would not! OF course YOU wouldn't
Who said you would?
Who is it that builds all the rail
roads, including the two-dollar-anight
sleepers, and vet rides in a second

the "parlor cars" and the "sleepers?'
Who is it that took ND that 100 acre

Who is it that pays all the taxes

Able ~Financiering.

One of Spokane's bank presidents has
a habit Of taking an airing each even
ing on the front end of a street car, alb
sorbing ozone and throwing off the
cares Of business while chatting with
the motorman. The other night he met
q genius and his match. The story was
too good to keep and finally reached The
Tribune, which publishes 1t as follows:
After the usual exchange Of courtesies
the motorman said:
"Mr. Blank, you consider yourself a
fnancier, l suppose"
"Yes," replied the banker, II guess
I am, or I could not hold my job"
"Well, you don't know anything
about flnanciering," the motorman
made bold TO state. "But my boss IRE
ferring to the president Of the street car
company is a first class fnancier, he is.
Why, do you know that every Sunday
he advertises for a servant, and Monday
20 OF 80 girls ride out to his house neal
the end of the line to get the place, but
find madam can't see them, SO they ride
back and repeat the journey several
times before they are finally told that
the old girl has decided to stay awhile.
Now that's financiering. Fifty cents
paid out for advertisements and IS or ~
taken in for car fares to swell the an
nual dividends of the boss company"
The banker saw the point, told the
story on his friend, and the boss" is
looking for that particular motorman
with blood in his eye.

men and what could be done towards
aiding them to accomplish their wish Of

Fort Benton. The mayor and a commit

Love-.

Love-A disorder affecting
the entire system and sometimes eve
the clothes and food of the victim. Pc
culiar to both sexes Of all ages, from
childhood to second childhood. Always
fatal in age, seldom in youth.
Symptoms-Loss Of appetite and in
terest in mundane affairs. Anxiety as to
personal appearance. Longing for flow
ers and poetry. Sudden affection for chill
dren, especially babes that the victim
has formerly despised. Demented belief
in the absolute perfection Of some being
Of the opposite sex. Vacant expression
Of the eyes and cerebral cavity. Patient
speaks in monosyllables and takes an
especial interest in the m~onosyllable
''yes."
Treatment-One dose of the monosyl-
liable mo" and good nursing, for males.
For females a new sealskin sack,
diamonds and q trip to Europe are
sometimes ~efficacious.
An application of stern parents is
sometimes Of use, but more often merely
excites the malady.
Marriage is an absolute specific. But

except in extreme cases. Truth.

The Decline of the Gondola In Venice.
1t would be expected, Of course, that no
way exists to get about in Venice ex-
cept by gondola. This is nowadays an
error. There is no spot in Venice which
cannot be reached by dry land. There
are now in the city $50 to 400 bridges,
and it is possible to cross the canals on
foot at almost any point. Those who do
not wish to do this can get in a steam
boat and go from one end of the Grand
canal to the other. There are frequent
stations, the boats run every four min
utes, and the fare is only 2 cents.
The gondola thus has been nearly
driven out of business. The residents of
the city go about on foot or on steam
boat. They have no time to be lazily
rowed from place to place by a Condo
lier. 1t has come about, therefore, that
there are much fewer gondolas in the
service than formerly, and what there
are have less to do. Their chief occupa-
ton is to transport visitors who have
only a few days to stay, and who wish
to tell their friends when they go home
that they have ridden in u gondola.
There is considerable business ON moon
light nights, but in daytime very few
boats are in use.
The gondolier is not the romantic per
son that fancy paints him either. He is
q very ordinary Italian, a poorly clothed
beggar, who always wants more money
than his legitimate fare and talks about
his pour boire or extra drink money dur
ing the entire ride. philadelphia Tele-

A Boston schoolteacher arranged q
little maple sugar party for a few Of her
friends last winter, and wishing to dec
crate her rooms appropriately asked her
boys if they would not bring her some
evergreen boughs. This they did with
a good deal Of pleasure 1.-THE school is in
one of the more rural quarters Of the
city, and the grateful teacher by way of
expressing her gratitude gave her pupils
o little description Of what she intend
ed to do.
She had spent some of her vacations
in Vermont, and being familiar with
the process Of sugar making was able
to make her story not only instructive,
but decidedly interesting.
She described the grove, the tapping
Of the trees, the running of the sap, the
boiling Of it, and so on. Then she told
what she proposed doing at the party.
She was going to boil some strip and
then pour it upon bowls Of snow to cool,
and 80 serve it to her guests.
The scholars listened with the deepest
attention, but the teacher noticed espe-
cially one little fellow who sat leaning
over his desk with his hand all ready
to be raised, as if he could not wait for
her to finish.
As she paused, up came the hand.
"Well, Peter" said she, and the little
fellow broke out.

injection with Lane seminary which

ian alliance and a minister OF the South

church is longing to be once again with

Arguments to the Jury.

Hanks case were concluded in the United
States court today. T. H. Carter spoke
for the defense and j. B. Leslie closed
for the prosecution. Judge Knowles
instructions we're very long and are con-
sidered unfavorable to Hanks. He said
it was evident the directors delegated to
Hanks the management Of the bank, but
that did not give him the right to use
its money as IL it were his own. His
power should have been used to benefit
the bank rather than himself. Hanks
had willfully misapplied the funds OF the
bank II he loaned w. II. Burgess & Co,
OF which firm he was q member, about
$1,000 without consulting the directors;
and the circumstances were such that
have made such a loan. The fact that

or not the loans were willful m~isapplica-
ton. II the jury found that Hanks did

intent to iniure and defraud the bank.
Every man was presumed to intend the
natural consequences Of the act he per-
forms. San INTENT" said thd judge, "is
a design. resolve or determination Of the
mind. An intent may be presumed
from certain acts; for instance, il q man
shoots at another, he is presumed to in
tend to kill him. SO in this case, il
Hanks did an act in loaning money to
