WORRY A DIME MADE

Mistake of Ten Gents in Si,oOO,OOo
Created a Peck of Trouble.
Once in great while one of the
thirty odd bank clerks who are daily
delegated to render into the Provi,
dence clearing house the accounts
of their respective banks makes an
error in his figures" Usually the
session is over in twenty minutes.
but recently it required an extra
hour for the finding of a ten-cent
mistake in 81, 1872, 100. AS there is
a money fine, which gathers double
compound comminuted interest, so
to speak, as the minutes are piled
up by the clock, each young gentle
man of the thirty odi is on pins and
needles until the fellow who is to
blame is discovered.
At noon the clearing house tele-
phone, which is that of the Roger
Williams bank, began to ring, and
from that time until the session
was concluded bank after bank
called up to know if its emissary had
gone to Canada and had left every
thing but a balance against the
bank. Officials and clerks, who go
to dinner in rotation, stood with
watches in hand and saw their cars
go by and felt an increasing and ach-
ing void at the ''belt." About 12:45
o'clock the 81, 1872, 100 had been
squared up to a cent and the ten
cent fellow who had shaken the
banking community to the pit of the
stomach was laden with crop of
fines as thick as flies at the bunghole
of a molasses barrel.-Providence

THE Des Moines Register says that
Iowa has raised enough barley this
year to supply half the breweries in the
United States, bat that the price is low.
because Russian barley is imported and
comes in competition with the American
grain. This is not the cause of the low
price of barley in Iowa. 1t brings a
good price at the breweries in other
states. As the Iowa law prohibits the
manufacture of beer in the state, all the
barley is sent to a foreign market, and
the beer is imported. If Iowa would
make ats beer at home barley would be
10 to 20 cents bushel higher.

THIS government has received ST.
449, 900 from Spain in settlement of the
Mora claim. The Mora claim, of
which so much is now said in the news
papers, dates back twenty-five years
when the Cuban rebellion which began
IN 1868. was in progress. Antonio
Maxine Mora, who had become a resi-
dent and citizen of the United States,
owned extensive sugar estates in Cuba.
He was unjustly accused by the Spani-
ards of being implicated in the rebel
lion. Sentence of death was passed
upon bin, though he was not then Il
the island, and his property was combs
Gated. Our government protested and
the Spanish government acknowledged
that it had been in error and passed :
decree for the restoration of the Mora
estates, but this decree was not carried
cut. The estates went to ruin, but the

The beginning of the public school
year reveals the fact that in mnny of
the large cities of the country the ac-
commodations are totally inadequate
for the number of children. In New
York, where the annual gain in the
number of school children is 5000,
$4,000 children are shut out; in Chicago
the number is estimated at 1900.
Brooklyn tells the same story, and even
Boston is on the list.

SPEAKING of dollars, says the Glen

lar easy to get and hard to let go; a
dollar that will pay four dollars worth
of debts and then come back by means
of string attachmsnt; a dollar that
snuggles easy IN the pocket of the
workingman but withers like mama of
old in the safe of the railroad president;
dollar that will buy some flour while
it buys much whisky and tobacco; a
dollar that is above drawing interest
and yet will double itself while the
owner sits in the shade and spits at a
crack in the sidewalk; a dollar that will
circulate without depreciation, will buy
shoes for the baby while it buys fun for
man in places where he can't take his
wife; dollar that will surely repair the
waste of sloth, appetite and bad judg-
ment; dollar that comes to the lap of

move the sentence pronounced upon
Adam, reverse the order of nature and
transform the nature of man.

The New York Post. commenting
on the bad record of the reform" AS
sembly, says:
The Assembly went on record for
the third time against honest cleo
lions and in favor of not preventing
by exposure the corrupt use of money
in elections. Early in the session the
members of this body rejected amid
shouts of ridicule a corrupt practices
act, prepared and advocated by Mr..
Chapman. of Syracuse, which was the
best and most comprehensive measure
of the kind ever brought forward at
Albany. They thought it a huge joke
because the act forbade treating"
among other ferns of corruption. and
laughed the bill out of the Assembly
them chance to demonstrate that
they were really opposed to the bill
because it would prevent the corrupt
use of money generally by reintroduc-
ing his bill so modified as only to
amend the present act in such a way
as TO require the sworn publication af-
ter election, by all campaign commit
tees as well as candidates. Of all mon
eys received and expended.
Another New York paper denounc1ng
the bogus reform legislature, says:
No reform measure could be adj
vanced step without fight. The one
great issue upon which the city cam
paign had been waged, police reform,
was jockeyed with for four months,
and then not only refused, but law
was enacted which has seriously ag
gravated the power for evil in the old
laws. Instead Of having reform body,
as we supposed, we had an anti-reform
body, resisting desperately all efforts
to persuade it to do the duty to which
it was pledged.
The people of New York, We should
think, have had enough of Republican
reform legislatures. Utah ought, too,
to have learned lesson from its ex-
perience with Republican legislature
and the spectacle of incompetency pre-
scented by tse Republican wing of the
convention. The record
of both those bodies should be suf-
ficient warning to the voters OF Utah,
that if they want able, consistent and
conscientious representation in the
state legislature, they will have to look
for men somewhere else than in the
ranks of the Republican party. In
Utah, as we'll as in New York, Re
publican legislation is a weak and
wobbly staff to lean upon.

WOMEN AT COLLEGE.


AT the risk of rasping some of our
anti-suffrage contemporaries into a
fury, we copy a paragraph from Scrib-
ner's Magazine. which does not refer
directly to the suffrage question but
only to the independence of woman,
and her advance from the old position
Of bondage which was once considered
essential to her femininity.
The same notions that once prevailed
against higher education for women
are now entertained against her exer-
else Of the suffrage. They belong to
the past. They will be banished as
obsolete before very long, and there
will be mo strings on women except
those she chooses to use herself. This
is the paragraph from Scribner:
Who are the pupils at the colleges
for women today? The dowdy, sexless.
unattractive, masculine-minded beings
who have served to typify for nine
men out of ten the browning joke of
the age-the emancipation of women?
No; but lovely, graceful, sympathetic,
earnest, pure-minded girls in the flower
OF attractive maidenhood. And that is
why the Well-to-do American mother
is asking herself whether she would
be doing the best thing for her daugh-
ter II she were to encourage her to
become merely neW-World old
world young lady of the ancient order
OF things. For centuries the women
of civilization have worshipped chas-
tlty, suffering resignation and elegance
as the ideals of femininity; now we
mean to be intelligent besides, or, at
least, as nearly SO as possible.

A POTENT FOE TO FIGHT.

It is evident that the champions of
| bimetallism, which means the restor-
alton of silver to its place with gold
as the money of the United States,
have a hard fight before them.
Against their sound arguments and
array of facts and figures there are
the goldite sophistries which have
won victories in both hemispheres,
because backed by the power of
enormous wealth. It is that which
the bimetallists have most to fear.
On a fair field with no favor the
truths they have to advance and de-
fend would be invincible. But the
money power of the nations is against
them, and how potent is Mammon
the world is receiving continual con-
vincing demonstrations.
The goldites hold up to view the
fact that the leading nations Of the
earth today are on a gold basis. and
from that they falsely reason that it
must be right. The truth is that it is
the power of gold-the god of this
world-that has cast down silver and
ruled the nations in its own interest
and the permanency of it's own domin-
ion.
Yes, gold is now the standard Of
value in the leading nations and sill
yer is made subordinate. but that is
the very thing that needs to be rem
edied. 1t is the cause and source of
the financial ills of the world. The
distress and unrest which prevail are
the consequence of dethroning silver
and thus casting aside a money metal
which ought to be in full companion
ship with the other money metal
that bountiful Nature has provided
for the use and welfare of mankind.
Because gold has gained the vic
tory does it follow that it must re-
main the sole and absolute financial
monarch of all it surveys? Because
the gold barons have prevailed in
their schemes is that proof that they
are financially right? Is that any
reason to offer the intelligent people
that what they have accomplished
must not be interfered with?
If a tyrant succeeds in subduing
surrounding nations and subjecting
them to his thrall, must the world con-
clude that his tyranny should continue,
the fact of his triumph being proof
that his might is right?
The very power OF gold which is
used to perpetuate the rule Of the gold
standard, has to be fought in this
campaign for silver, which is the Rich
mond in the field. But the people can
conquer and prevail against the tyrant
gold power if they will. They must be
of the truth of bimetallism
and shown clearly the error Of gold
It will take able men
and some money to do this, and one
essential in the warfare is union of
purpose and action. Silver men must
join hands and means for the fray.
We do not need any new parties.
But the true bimetallists Of all parties
must concentrate their forces against
the enemy, and in that way they can
triumph. The money power is potent,
but united and determined people
can overpower even that influence and
silver can be re-established as the
of gold, and real bimetal-
ism become once more the policy Of
this nation and of all the nations OF
the world which will certainly in quick
order follow the lead of the United
States
