PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has writ
ten sound currency letter to the
committee of the Chicago board of
trade who invited him to come to
that city and address the faithful
on the occasion of a gold bug love
feast. He declined to commune
with the saints in person, but sent
his ideas by mail. His position
on the question is already familiar
to the people, and there is no
change in the line of argument
with which he supports it. An
excerpt from his lengthy letter is
given below. and the reader will
judge for himself how much justi-
fication there is for his assertion
that the battle for bi-metalllsm is
really disguised attempt TO force
silver mouometallism on the coun-
try, and a double standard means
disaster and confusion There are
cranks discussing the silver qucs-
ton Just as there are in the agita
ton of other questions of public
interest, whose ideas would lead
to confusion il adopted. But they
will be adopted. The conservative
and level headed element. which
has no more desire TO see an un-
stable monetary system adopted
than the gold bugs have, will con-
troll when the opportunity for ac.
tion comes, and adjustment on a
sound and easonablc basis will be
made in the relations between the
metals. Mr.. Cleveland says: Dis.
guise it as we may, the line of bat.
tie is drawn bewcen the forces oI
of safe currency and those Of silver
monometallsm. will not believe
that II our people are afforded an
intelligent opportunity for sober

VENEZUELA has granted a large
tract of land facing the boundary
in dispute between that country
and England to a company of
American capitalists who are after
the timber The ceded territory
controls the mouth of the Oronoco
river, which England would like
to have to herself, and its posses
sion by Americans would afford
strong grounds for the justifica-
ton of interference on the part of
this government if the principles
of the Monroe doctrine are ignored
10y England. A smart move, that.

Ell PAso has fallen down in the
undertaking to raise subscrip-
tion for the promotion of the White
Oaks road. The town did less for
the encouragement of the enter
prise than this camp of a thous-
and people, Notwithstanding meet
ings were held and committees
were at work for three months.
1t is Ell Paso's own business per-
haps whether she encourages the
project or not. But as it was no
railroad no pay proposition it
seems to have been fair test of
the public spirit of the people. III
Paso people should make no mis-
take. Their city is situated
favorably to become in reality the
"Gate City, through which should
pass the commerce of large sec
tion of this country on it's way to
an expanding market across the
border to the south. But cities
are made by the people who live
in them. Stranger things have
happened than that some other
point might become another gate
and through the energy and enter
prise of business men whose lexi-
con contains the word SNAP"
bring Ell Paso to a standstill, leav-
ing it to gather dust for genera
ton, if not for a century. A town
the size of El Paso is too small
to draw the earth to it by the sim
pile power of attraction, and makes
a mistake in allowing the reputa-
ton of being moss backed be fast
ened upon it. There may or may
not be anything in Mr.. Bell and
his proposition, but the little in
terest in the discussion of it which
was shown by those naturally ex
pected to be interested does the
reputation of the town no good in
the estimation of outsiders.

nThnmghts In Verse"

The leading features OF Thoughts in
Verse" by Clifford Howard, of this city,
are the variety of the poems. ranging from
the melodious lullaby and love song to the
deeply philosophical and the concentration
of its thoughts.
Many OF the quatrains express in four
lines what from the pen Of a less finished
writer would require as many stanZas.
The Calendar of Life may be cited as a
notable example of the conciseness OF
express ion and concentration of ideas
that characterize most of the productions.
At the same time there is 10 ambiguity
or obscurity of meaning, each word having
been chosen with delicate skill and care.
The music and melody OF the verses and
their faultless metrical construction rem
der the collection particularly pleasing,
all the thoughts being clothed in the true
harmony of poetic music.
Mr.. Howard has already good reputa
ton as a writer of verse, and his future
in that field of literature cannot fail to be one
of success. His genius is apparent In every
production from his pen.

never received a dollar before He
has had charge of the court house

taken much time and has been a re-
sponSibility assumed without any re-
ira work because the commissioners.
reposing confidence in him, have re-
quested him to do it. The extra work
is no part of his official duties any

the commissioners had paid him for
his work it would have been legal and
it would only have been just. This
