HONEST MONEY.
CIeveland's Letter to the Chicago
Club.


A bald owl lived in tumble tree,
And he thought there was none 80 wise as he,
He rolled his eyes and puffed out his breast.
And If any one chanced to pass his nest.
He would utter most lugubrous groan,
And say, in ponderous monotone,
''Whoo-whoO-who are you 2"
The owl was dull, and fussy and fat.
But he stayed in his hole,so you couldn't see that.
And the animals came to think him seer,
And tc hang on his words with an awesome fear.
"What wisdom!" they said, "in that beautiful
Broan
And Row nobly he speaks from his hole all alone
WhOO-whoo-who are you"
But the owl at last, consumed with pride,
When others were looking, came strutting out
side.
''Why, it's only a derned old OWL" they said,
And they picked up some ballots and stoned him
dead
But his ruling passion was strong in death,
And he croaked away with his very last breath,
''Whoo-whoo-wh are yOu?'

Col. Franklin Fairbanks died Wednes-
day night of the effects of la Grippe. He
was the younger son of the late Gov.
Erastus f. rbanks and brother of the
late Coy. Horace Fairbanks. His father
was one of the founders of the great
scale firm of E. & T. Fairbanks & Co.;
was the first president of the Connecti-
cut and Passumpsic railroad, now a part
of the Boston and Maine system, and
was elected governor of Vermont in 1852
and again in 1860, being Vermont's first
war governor and in whose hands on the
breaking out OF the civil war, the State
placed 81 000,0O0 relying on his judg-
ment and fidelity to wisely use
the money in raising troops.
Franklin Fairbanks was born in st.
Johnsbury, June 2Sth, 1929. He was ed
ucated at the public schools of st. Johns
bury, at Pinkerton academy, Derry, N.
H.; Peacham academy and at st. Johns
bury academy. He did not 60 to college,
though in 1877 Dartmouth conferred on
him in the degree of NJ. A. When II
years OLD he entered the scale works,
which his father and the latters two
brothers had established about Is years
before. In 1856 he became a member of
the firm. In 1876 this firm was incorpor-
ated, and he was elected vice. president
of the corporation and superintendent of
factory. After the death of his brother,
Horace in 1888, he was elected president
of the corporation which position he
has held until his death. To his efficient
management is attributed in large meas
ure the success of the Fairbanks scales.
If the future of the income tax is TO
to be as dreary as has been its brief past,
1T will covet an early interment at Che
hands of the Supreme Court.

Senator Proctor has been interviewed
as to the "silver question:" and the re-
suit is conservative statement, just
what would have been expected from
such source. The difference between
the two great parties shows to no better
advantage than in the discussion of such
an issue. The Democrots rush head!ong
while the Republicans look the ground
over, and when action is taken the out.
come is construction not demolition as
in the case of the former policy. Senator
Proctor recognizes the circumstances as
they exist. He says: II think the SEN
timent in New England has been grow
ing more and more favorable to a wider
use of silver. think our people will be
glad to find some way to persuade, pos
sibly compel, other nations to join with
us in the silver movement, but we are
not prepared to favor free silver. So far
as | am aware, and l have been absent
from the State considerably during the
last year, there has been no special mis-
sionary work on the part of the silver
men in New England. The growing SEN
timent of which 1 have spoken is largely
due to the hard times and the depres-
sion in business, the people believing
that larger use of silver might help the
business situation. They would not,
however, carry the relief experiment to
the extent of free coinage by this gov
ernment alone, and if the times get bet.
ter expect to see the silver sentiment
die out"

Annual N9tAmpst of the NATIONAL SURETY

Kansas City, in the State of Missouri, on the 31st
day of December, 1893: made to the Insurance.
superintendent of the State of Illinois, pursuant
to law:
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1895-10-19

The statue of Lincoln down in front
of the city hall is always favorite
object of interest to the colored people
of the community, and the other day,
when party of country cousins were
visiting their city relatives, one of the
first sights to be shown was "Massa
Linkum." As the little row of pican-
ninies gazed at the countenance OF
their emancipation, with its prominent
cheeLbones and we11-defned jaw bone,
one of them plucked hold of his nam
my's dress and said:
Say. nanny, who is dat?"
Oats President Linkum, what made
you a free man fore you was bawn,
answered nanny.
But. nanny, he looks SO POI; what
make him look SO POP" continued hel
aspiring SON.
