 The girls in this section are telling a good story about a joke which Michael OBrien of Riverside street played on his friend, William Doyle of Ansonia. The fine sleighing of last Sunday prompted Mir Doyle to take his best girl out for n rlde and the couple decided to visit rela- tives in Waterbury. A call was made on friends living on Riverside street, where Mir O'Brien boards. While the Ansonia gentleman was engaged in conversation with some of the family Mir O'Brien in- duced the lady to get into the sleigh, which was hitched in front of the house. and take a drive around the city. The whole party being intimate friends the lady saw no reason why she should refuse and soon herself and Mir O'Brien were tucked away in the handsome cutter and speeding toward Ansonia. No amount of persuasion on the part of the lady could induce Mir OBrien to return and he kept on until he refined the steed in front of the young lady's residence in Ansonia. The team was returned to the stable and Mir O'Brien called on some friends and re mained over night. coming to Waterbury on the first train yesterday. Meanwhile Mr Doyle and his friends were wondering what had become of the couple. but it was the general opinion of all that O'Brien had driven the lady home just for the fun of it Mir Doyle remained in Waterbury over night and went home yesterday morning. The two men have not met since and what the girls would like to know now Is, what Mir Doyle said when he called on his friend and found out that he had been niade the victim of cruel joke by two of his best friends.

We have recently had occasion In sew

with any kind OF organization and atten-
tton, the community could have rejolced
IN roads over which one could easily

Cling through mirc and water. All that
was necessary was a moderate amount
OF ditching on each side. and a lateral
drain at the worst places TO take away
the water from places which had become
ponds. and around which, as Is generally
the case. vehicles had travelled until
concentric roads had spread out, like
circles created by pebble thrown into

been as great change In me neighbor-

We hope that the efforts Of this Good

couraged by all the people throughout the
State-not merely IN the country but
in the cities, for there is not city. town,
hamlet. or village that would not be bet

II Is gratifying to know that the two
principal railroads Of the State-the

Railway-have each contributed TO this

counties should avail themselves Of this

The Solution.

To the Editor OF The Times;
Sir.-We may take these propositions as
true:
l. Hardly less than % per cent Of
barter exchange, and general commerce
Of the world IL done through checks,
drafts. bills Of exchange, ana other
transfers OF credit.
2 Transfers OF value are made by such
means on the books Of banks, brokes'
and commission merchants.
g. The use Of silver is for the most
part, confined 10 small change '-irac-
tons of a dollar
4. Silver dollars are undesirable as
currency, because Of their size ana weight.
They are unreliable as measure OF
value, because Of the apparently uhliihl'-
ed supply OF silver ore.
5. Gold. as money, is very httie use"
in ordinary business. Ii IS a very ldie
thing for debts OF any size to he paid III
gold. Its use as money is very largely
confined TO the settling Of balances be-
tween countries-balances Of exchange.
6. The implied understanding of many
contracts is. Gold, or its equivalent.
Z Only in panics and great emergencies
is gold demanded or sought. Ana theh
IL ceases TO be currency. Ana Things
are exchanged. and trades 70 on. com
pared with one another. and by mutual
measure. And though gold Is apsoiul,
~ wanting. the word dollars Is sun
used. Men are contened with the equiv
alent of gold"-with fair exchanges.
s. The clearing houses or trade are
the books Of the banks.
9. Banks are the natural sources from
which currency and circulation should
issue.
10. A well-guarded, well-waiched sys-
tenn OF banking. and an assured issue OF
bank-notes. we'll and surely based on
established value and property Is the So
luton of the currency question. Such
system will give the people all the cur
rency they are entitled to, and when
will be supplied as their Interests de-
mands. and as their property lustliies'
II. Banking must be made as free as
the safety Of deposits and the assurance
Of bank-notes justlhes.
II. The 10 per cent tax was war
measure kind OF martial law-,Tposed
for a purpose in an emergency, and must
be repealed.
g. A bank-note, Of wel-estaohshea
institution, based upon actual value
promising to pay real dollars. Is a much
sounder currency. and nearer 10 ideal
money. than a disc Of silver, OF uncertain
value. with the stamp Of Government
only TO give IT value. A. IS. {.

SOME HOPEFUL sIcNsIN THE SOUTH.

1t is most gratifying that Representa-
tive McCrcary, Of Kentucky, has declared
himself openly and frankly a candidate
for election to the United States Senate
upon the basis Of sound money. ana in
opposition TO the folly OF the free coinage
Of silver by this government alone at the
ratio of &c TO l. We have not much hope
or expectation that he will win Men like
Blackburn have been preaching free
silver heresy In Kentucky until the people
there seem to have become as daft as
many have in Virginia. Still. there are
encouraging signs in Kentucky. In the
FIRST place. the Louisville COurier-Jour-
nal. which exercises an immense influence
in the State. is perfectly sound upon the
question. In the next place IL has been
discovered that twenty-siX country pa
pers In that part of the State from which
Governor McCreary halls are for sound
money, though It had been supposed that
the entire press there was for free sill
yer. II would be a great surprise il Nc
Creary was elected. but il would also be
an important triumph for sound principle.
and ii is. therefore, most gratifying TO
the friends of conservatism and an or
DERBY government that he has resolved to
make the race.
Another fact in this connection is start
ling. to say the least. The country has
been led to believe that Alabama was as
hopelessly committed to the free-silver
delusion as even Nebraska. But some one
has examined more than hundred coun-
try papers in Alabama, and found that
very large majority Of them are against
free coinage. II was the Alabama Lcgis-
lature which last winter voted, against
the frantic protests of the silver men.
to make the new issue OF state bonds
payable in gold. in order to get the adj
vantage Of lower interest. To-day sound
money convention Is to be held In Waco.
Texas. Ind there are Indications that II
will be strong body. The call for the
selection Of delegates in one Of the coun-
ties particularly warns the l6 TO men
not to attempt 70 smugele any OF their
representatives into the delegation.
When we add these facts TO the import
ant sound-money convention to be held in
Memphis. they prove that the conserva-
tism and good sense OF the South is be-
ginning TO be aroused. Is il possible TO
hope that the South may even yet re-
deem herself? SO mote il be-
