Straying From the Subject.

In last week 5 INDEPENDENT we pub
liShed communication from Mr.. j. a.
Miller, in which he, instead of sticking
to the text in referring to the article
appearing in the issue of Feb. %,
branched out in an exhaustive argu-
ment in regard to tariff on imports, etc.
The truth of the matter is, Mr.. Miller
shrewdly utilized that portion of the
article suitable to the questions, which
were not the points covered 10y the
article referred to. The portion omitted
by Mr.. Miller, and the first sentence of
the article, conveys an entirely different
meaning. Here it is:
eff there is any one thing more than
another which keeps up the hard times,

problem further removed from the suf-
fering people.

THE prospects, ability. and also in
competency of the Lid congress,
which went out of existence Monday
noon of this week, Will be entered upon
the pages of history for future genera
tions to read and reflect upon. No
gathering of the peoples authorized
agents has proven SO inefficient TO trans
act the business of our nation as has
this body of wiseacres just adjourned
From the first it was demonstrated that
two important matters were paralyZing
the industries of the country that
needed adjusting the tariff and
finances. 1t was considered that the
present financial depression was
the Onem ost needing of attention.
A special session was called Aug. :,
1898, the principal object being to repeal
the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman act. To do this it necessitated
the help of the republicans. This act
was repealed, but not before a promise
was given by the party in power that
some other financial legislation would
be enacted favorable to the white metal.
The repeal vas enacted, and congress
adjourned, but instead of relief the de.
nraccion xx-oc ,,0ro
At the regular session the tariff queS-
ton was brought to the front again.
and the Wilson bill, supposed to be in
accord with the democratic platform,
was introduced. Here the party gave
evidence of their inability to unite upon
tariff bill, and up TO and including
July 4, this matter lay before congress,
and when passed bore very few features
of the original bill. 1t also had tackled
upon it the income tax bill, a measure
brought forth and favored by the peo-
pies party, and numerous other amend
ments favorable to corporations and
private interests. In the session Just
ended, though the president appealed
to congress to prOmulgate some law
that would in some way relieve the
great financial depression that was
throttling the commercial interests of
our country, they turned deaf ear to
his entreaties.
The actions Of Germany and France
in regard to sugar and our meats, were
presented to congress, and while the
democrats were willing to remedy the
evils this part of their legislation had
wrought. the republicans, whose assist
ance they needed to remedy the unjust
law, refused to come to their rescue.
While no benefits have been derived
by this last session to speak of, there is
no doubt that the country will now pro-
ceed to do business, knowing no legiSla-
ton can be transacted detrimental to
their interests, for while at least.

it is the lack of confidence and the u
certainty in the minds of the people over
the condition of the treasury"
Then we proceeded to give one of the
most vital reasons, which was this fact:
When congress demanded of Secretary
Carlisle the true condition of the treas
ury, they received from him a state
ment that the money was coming into
the treasury SO rapidly that a surplus
would soon be on hand. Then came
the president forward asking congress
to allow him to issue S62,0OO,OOO gold
bonds.
The drift of our article can be readily
seen, and did not refer to the necessity
of issuing those bonds.
1t would take more time and space to
enter into specific answer To all the
questions propounded by this gentle
man than we have to spare. He glides
from one subject into another, weaving
web so intricate, that it would take a
modern philosopher to untangle the
mess. The principal feature of his
questions, is to learn, he says, the reason
of the depletion of the gold reserve,
and how the free coinage of silver
would aid the country. These ques
tiOns have been answered by hundreds
of the best financiers of this country
within the past two months. Every
liberal and non-partisan paper teens
with it to-day.
1t took some time after the demoni-
tization Of silver in 1873, for the people
to realize that there was something
wrong with the finances of this country,
but at the time spoken of by Mr.. Mil
Ter, 1SS1-2-3, the effects of a single
standard in this country began to be
felt by the masses of the people. If we
must have gold in the United States
treasury, to meet these claims against
us, place more tariff upon our imports
and protect our home interests.
The condition of affairs under the
double standard need not be told.
Under single gold standard, the mon
ey sharks of the east and the capitalists
of England control almost the en-
tire amount of the gold mlnted
This cannot be denied. The late con-
ditiOn of the United States treasury has
given forcible illustrations. While they
may gain control of the gold, history
gives ample proof that silver, the peo-
pies money, cannot be correlled by the
money sharks. He says: Gwen the sill
yer senators demand gold for their
salary" Maybe they do; and if SO it is
perfectly proper, for we are to-day on a
single standard, and that is gold, and
they are just as much entitled to it as
those blood suckers whose cOnscienceS
are SO scared by their dIshonOrable
dealings with the peoples money, that
they heed not the cries of those in dis
tress.

TOOK HIM FOR A REPORTER.
The Awful Mistake Made by a Boston
Hostess as to Josiah Quincy.

The Awful Mistake Made by a Boston
Hostess as to Josiah Quincy.
A good story is told in connection
with Josiah Quincy that will be APP
preciated by all who know him. Some
time ago he was at an evening party
given in one of the most exclusive
Boston houses and, according to his
wont, he stood aloof, preserving a
mien of cold Indifference to his sur
roundings, speaking to no one and no
one addressing him Finally the
hostess, one of the grand danes of
society, saw the lonesome figure, and
not being able to recall who he was,
went in haste to her husband and
questioned him. The hus band looked
and looked again, but he did
not know him either, then the
hostess in great alarm whispered
she must go at once and
find out, for she believed him to
be reporter! Approaching the un-
known guest she said, with an air of
much severity:
''This is very quiet house; we are
very quiet people and we do not cal e
to have any notice made of our re-
ception for the newspapers.
"Madame!" Numbered this dis
tlnguished citizen, 81 an Josiah
Quincy"

IN Outing, Professor Eugene l.. Rich
ards publishes paper ON "Intercollegi-
ate Athletics and Faculty Control. =
The professor goes in for college athlet-
les heartily. lie quotes President Eliot
of Harvard as saying that college attn
letics have made discipline easier and
more effective. The habit of obedience
in the college physical training organic
ations, also the habits of temperance
and morality which the students must
maintain in order to hold high place
in their respective crew and teams, re-
act on the youths life through and
through and make him better man
physically, mentally and morally.
While Professor Richards mentions
some evils that grow out of intercollegi-
ate contests, he would not at all have
them suppressed. lie thinks, Moreover,
that faculty control of them should
limit itself strictly to the points where
athletics and college work touch and
interfere with one another. If the boys
neglect their college work for the ath-
letios. then the faculty should suppress
the athletics 10 that extent, no further.
