There is plenty of gold in the United States, but Its collection and Its retention obs viously are not duties of the govern ment under the ordinary conditions of national existence.

 The Daily Chronicle will eulogize MT. Cleveland's dogged persistence in ad- vocating the policy of reforms which his miscredited party has neither the courage nor the conscience to pursue"
 Boston. Dec. 3.-The Globe (dem.) says: There Is no note of hesitancy In the presidents message to congress. He declares his position on all the lead Ing issues of the time clearly and un- mistakably. Mir. Cleveland's utterances regarding ways and means of main taining the gold reserve In the treasury give evidence enough.

Ills views on this mat ter will no doubt be controverted by certain men in congress, but 1t is quite unlikely. with the obviously and press ing necessity of dealing with the cur rency problem in general. that much time will be consumed In dealing with matters of the past. It Is the financial needs of the present that chiefly claim the attention of our lawmakers.
 The Journal (rep.) deals exclusively with the financial portion of the mes sage, and says, In substance, that the current program of the administration can scarcely fail to disappoint con- servative financiers. The net result of the scheme would be to give us form of national currency less stable and sat isfactory than we now have.
 Washington, Dec. 3.-When question: ed concerning the presidents message Senator Platt of Connecticut said: If the president thinks the present evils are to be cured by further doses of free trade and an effort to get free ships he has failed to learn anything from the recent elections"
 Senator Hawley of Connecticut said: ''The message is disappointing. It is most remarkable that it wholly omits any reference to the amazing express l sion of opinion of the people in the recent elections. As to foreign affairs the presidents action is reactionary | and un-American. Until MT. Carlisle's l report appears no opinion can be ex- pressed of the presidents financial pol icy. The message is far short os the necessities and the demands in the judgment of both parties"

THE EARL OF ABERDEEN AT YALE
An Interesting Address Before Members of
 Yale University.

IulC ohFoVblhys
 The Earl of Aberdeen. governor gen. eral of Canada, addressed an immense gathering of students in Dwight hall at 2 o'clock last evening. The large lecture hall was filled to it's utmost capacity and many people crowded into the railways and adjoining rooms in order to match a glimpse of his earl ship.
 He made strong impression on all who listened to him as man of high culture and strong personality. He gave an informal talk rather than an address, but he was listened to with the closest attention. '
 In his remarks he said; II do not see as 1t makes much difference whether a man believes in the modern theories of the origin of the wofh or as our fathers believed. Alterations in the out phases in which truth is presented do not change the vital truths and principles of things. The educated man should take high ground. Some unfortunately have an idea that their intellectual level is heightened if they give ventAto utterances of disbelief. It is belief that saves one from all that distraction, which turns away from a steady purpose. It is character and the training implied by character that tells in the long run and helps to resist %o elt t0 O recognition of the fact that in spite of all business cares, man should spend a part of his life in striving to influ- ence for good the government of city, state or country.
 T consider a great benefit and privi- lege to be brought into contact with such a robust body of young men. I come as a representative from that northern country with which I hope your relations will grow ever closer and friendlier. It am glad to find that Yale recognizes religion and learning as interwoven and identical, and as the years go on Yale will be more and more recognized as a beacon light and an inspiring influence throughout the world"
 The earl is being entertained by Pro- lessor O. c. Marsh at his residence on Prospect street. He is accompanied by Lady Aberdeen, her brother, the Hon. Arhcibald Majorbanks, and MT. Hewitt, his private secretary. .
 Professor Marsh, during his trips abroad, has often been the guest of Lord Aberdeen at his country seat in Scotland, and also at the government house in Ottawa, Can. After the gov ernor generals stay in this city, he will return immediately to Ottawa.

FRAUDULENT AND CRIMINAL.

An Oiu Lotter Wuh NoW Iofunohco ne- oeiyed by James D. Dewsii from Mayor sargent Two Years Ags-Those Bogus Tickets Which W ore Circulated by the Thousands Yesterday Thoroughly Ds- nounced.
 Yesterday our we'll known townsman, James D. Deweli, received through the mall one of the bogus tickets referred to specifically in another column. bear ing upon 1t a paster with J. B. sargent's name upon 1t. over the name of A. c. Hendrick and with other changes In the ticket calculated to deceive re- publicans, wrong names being printed for those of some of the republican nominees on the ward ticket.
 The reception of this ticket recalled to mind letter he had received two years ago from MT. Sargent. in which the views of the latter on the issuing of bogus tickets are so clearly set forth as to need no further comment. The letter received by Mir. Dewell two years ago. Is as follows; and will no doubt highly interest the thousands of voters In New Haven:
 MAYORS OFFICE.
 New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 10. 1892. James D. Dewell. Esq.
 Dear sir-Your congratulations are received and kindly accepted as you request
 am sorry to see my old party fallen so low in political morality as to fraud ulently issue 10000 ballots on the Holy Sabbath Day of the Lord, purporting to be issued by another party. The law passed by republican legislature stamps such work as fraudulent and criminal. I trust the democratic party will never follow down to such prac- tices. Yours truly, J. B SARGENT.

"That pillow Of flowers on the casket

That cross of flowers at the head was pre-

was by a waif of the street whom he res

the other was from prison cell which

ing very nice distinction between them.
It's idiotic, said he, to use the words
"cheek" and nerve" as if they meant
the same Cheek is no more nerve than
beauty is brain. A man may have both,
but it's not usual. Cheek is active. Nerve
is passive. Cheek needs mouth. Nerve
very seldom uses one and then only to
shut it. Cheek talks and acts. Nerve
thinks, waits and achieves. Cheek is
sometimes admirable in it's ends, but is
usually offensive in its means. Nerve is
never offensive.
Don't ever think man necessarily
lacks nerve just because he doesn't ask
for what he wants. His forbearance
may be the best proof of his nerve. A
cheeky man compares with nervy one
as sprinter of 100 yards dash COM
pares with 20 miles go-as-you-please
runner. Cheek is sometimes blessing
and sometimes a curse. Nerve is al
ways blessing.
In these days, when taking" is fine
art, cheek has a better chance to win
financial success than nerve has, I think.
But though nerve dies poor it probably
dies happy.-Donahoe's Magazine.

Like a Brave Man.

John Weitzel was one of the boldest
pioneers of West Virginia. ga man alb
solutely without fear," one of the chron-
iclers of those times calls him. The man.
ner of his death was worthy of that eu-
logy. In the pursuit of his occupation,
that of hunter and surveyor, he often
undertook long journeys alone-a reck-
less proceeding when time and place are
considered-and was never accompanied
by more than one or two friends.
One day, while returning in a canoe
with one companion from an excursion
to Middle Island creek, he was hailed by
large party of Indians and ordered to
put ashore. Without making any reply
he headed the boat for the middle of the
stream, and with his companion made
every effort to escape.
The Indians fired on the instant, and
one of the bullets struck Weitzel in the
body. Seeing at once that the wound
was mortal, he ordered the other man
to lie down in the canoe, and then with
renewed vigor, though his life was ebb-
ing fast, he pulled for the opposite shore.
The Indians fired anotheisvolley, but
without effect, and before they could re-
load the boat was out of range. Weitzel
expired soon after reaching the bank
and was buried by his companion. His
grave may still be seen, marked by
rough stone on which is traced in rude
characters, 81. w., 7S7."-Youth'sC Com

A Silly ,Joker's Lesson.

Some time ago a guest of one of our
hotels sent old Mrs. Marsh to the South
ern Express company's Office with an or
der to the express agent to pay Mrs.
Marsh $50, 900 at once. The simple old
woman took it to the express Office, be-
lieving, as she always does, that the
money was due her. Clyde Glenn, the
polite and manly agent, took the note,
wrote across it's back and sent Mrs.
Marsh with it to the writer.
When the man opened the note, he
found the express agent had Endorsed it
thus: "Will you not try in the future to
conduct yourself as gentleman, remem-
bering that your mother is or will be an
old woman?' The thoughtless joker took
the note to the express office, called for
the agentand grasping Mr.. Glenn's hand
said, Il thank you for that rebuke. -
