Poor New York

The voters of New York will be
called upon this fall to vote for or
against the proposition to bond the
state for 50. 600, 900 to improve the Erie
canal. the Lake Champlain canal which
will connect the ST Lawrence river
with Lake Champaign. and the Owego
canal connecting Lake Erie with the
Erie canal. These are all very neces-
sary improvements. but why issue
bonds for their promotion? What's
the matter with greenbacks, issued by
the general government and loaned to
the great state of New York at per
cent. interest, the rate charged ma
tional banks? Ali The bankers want
the bonds to speculate on and draw
blood-mohey from the people. And
what are the people as opposed to the
banks? Bonds! Bondsi Bonds! Will
the people never throw off the burden
of banks and bonds?-Chicago Express.

The bull butted the tree with its ant

walked away few yards and rested.
The lumberman yelled some more. When
he could yell no longer. he set his wits

advanced again he set the wood afire and
dropped it ON the bulls back. With a
