a Vast empire peopled with patriots,
who long have earnestly petitioned
for redress of grievances without
avail, so the GUARDIAN will labor
in the ranks of its co-patr lots for
the emancipation of the West.
The cause of silver is the cause of
every toiler in our land, whether
he be Il farmer, miner, Il mechan-
ic or a merchant. 1t means free
dom from the clutches and avarice
of the East-nO master and no

This the GUARDIAN hopes to see.
This it will labor for. 1t believes
that the cause of Statehood is the
cause of silver. The admission of
Arizona means other voices in the
councils of legislation where the
voice of silver asks hearing, and
the joint advocacy of Statehood
and free coinage of silver will be
the constant policy of the GUARD
IAN. Standing boldly in front of
all other issues, these are the ques-
tions of the hour. Like Bancho's
ghost, they will not down.
As the needle of the compass,
pointing constantly to the pole,
guides the storm-beaten mariner
over mountainous seas amid the

the GUARDIANS guide amid the
strife of factions and the curse OF

lT appears that in 1890 the num-
Der of women of all ages in the
United STAGES was 30,55I,3I0, OF
whom l7,lS3,9SS, or 56.24 per
cent. were single. The Brooklyn
Edgle figures out the number or per
centagc of marriageablc women
who are single. 1t is found that
about ten per cent. marry before
the age of 20 and a very few be-
fore 10. The unmarried are made
up of maids, widows and divorced
persons, the last of which classes
is SO small that it need scarcely be
considered for the present purpose.
Omitting the actual numbers and
using percentages only, the return
shows that between the ages of 90
and % about 53 per cent. were
without husbands; between % and
30, about 2S per cent; between 30
and 45, about 20 per cent. After
this the number of widows increase
so rapidly that from 45 to 50 the
unmarried amount to 26 per cent
and of women over 50 years of age
only a little over 30 per cent have
husbands. Nearly 6 per cent. OF
all women never marry, about 10
per cent. of those between the ages
of 35 and 56 had not yet married,
and more than one fourth of those
between the ages of 20 and 30 were
still unmarried.

"coin" as though the word "gold"
were inserted before it would be a
crime. If the Secretary of the
Treasury should insert the word
"gold" before the word "coin" in
our outstanding bonds he would be
guilty of forgery under the statute.
To pretend that the word coin is
to be treated just as though the
word gold were inserted before it
is moral forgery, for which there
is no penalty except the dishonor
that would attend it and the exc
crations of all honest men who
would follow it. The act of 1869
changed our currency bonds to
coin bonds. For nearly twenty
years the money lenders have been
endeavoring to have the coin bonds
changed into gold bonds. If they
could they would have the interest
on the bonds compounded, and
there is no reason against the lat
ter that is not equally good against
the former. We think Congress
may safely be relied upon never to
authorize gold bond. Two years

THE PRESIDENT PAWNS THE
GOVERNMENT

The President of the United
States has undertaken, through his
secretary of the treasury, to place
in pawn with foreign bankers the
right of this Government TO bor-
row money during the next seven
and a half months. They are to
have the preference during that
time over any of our own people
who might desire to loan their
money to the Government if occas-
ion for borrowing should arise.
And what did the Rothschilds and
the Morgans do for this humilia-
ting bargain? Why, they agree to
give 104 II for United States four
per cent. bonds, with thirty years
to run, when the same bonds issued
eighteen years ago, and having on
ly eighteen years to run, were sell
ing in New York on that very day
at 10 IL. 1t is estimated that
the difference in value between a
bond having only twelve years to
run and one having thirty years to
run woald be equal to nine per
cent. 1t may be safely stated
therefore, that this bargain between
the President and his friends in
London was worth to them fifteen
per cent on the sixty-two millions
of bonds sold-whiCh is a profit Of
80, 100000. Mr.. Belmont told a
New York reporter that the profit
was between five and six per cent.
He omitted to refer to the longer
time the new bonds have to run,
which time add nine per cent. to
the value.
The American Congress and the
American people will not tolerate
the issuance of any gold bonds.
Our bonds will be paid in silver
when they come due if that shall
be the most convenient. If those
who own the bonds wish to make
silver cheap that will be all the
better for the people who have to
pay for them. If the bondholders
want to be paid in money as good
as gold they can labor for the res
toration of free silver coinage.
There is a clause in the Presi-
dents message which will shock
the moral sense of any intelligent
man. 1t is when he says; "Of
course, there should never be a
doubt in any quarter as to the re-
demption in GOLD of the bonds of
the government which are made
payable in COIN"
That refers, of course, to all
bonds heretofors.,issqed sana 4, " y

for the approach of trains to lower the

sewer rats popped their heads out of a
hole in that trough which runs to the river.

They were evidently hungry, for they

HIS PECULIAR CHIRPs.
There must be something magnetic about
Gatemen Phillips, for he attracts rodents
just as sugar hogshead does flies. When
he desires his pets to come swarming about
him, the gateman gives series of Pc
culiar chirps, and instantly there is a
rafting and scratching beneath the loose
boards about his watch box. and the next
instant the ground is fairly swarming with
rollicking gray rats. They crawl up the
legs of his trousers, and old Gray Tom, the
leader, even ventures TO climb up to the.
crown of Phillips hat, where he sits like a
little animal king on his throne.
The second rat in Command is known as
"Captain Dickie." He is long, lean
specimen of the sewer rat family aud is
almost as quick in his movements as an
electric flash. The moment a stranger APP
proaches the box, captain Dickie'' glides
into his hole like a gray streak. But when
Gateman Phillips is alone that rodent
era wis upon his lap tu be fondled like a pet
cat or dog. He can sniff the approach of
a terrier or stray feline, but strange to
say when he is on Phillips lap or in his
hand, captain Dickie" feels secure from
harm and does not attempt TO escape to his
hole. The gateman argues that fact is an
evidence that the rat family possess high
order of Intelligence, and could be trained
TO perform many astonishing feats.
TAKE TO MANKIND
They naturally take to mankind, Phil
lips says, and could the prejudice against
them be overcome the little midnight prowl-
ers would make the best of household pets
Speaking OF the natural aversion of women
to the rodent family, the gateman at the
box just east of the one occupied by Phil
lips said the other day three young women
came running along Maryland avenue
screaming at the top OF their voices When
asked what the trouble was, one of them
replied:
why, a whole lot of big rats are at
