on Sound Currency, New York:

ter sent to me is received. l presume
this is in pursuance of my letter TO
you Of May 2,'95. We do not Use
plates of any sort and when we do we
buy and pay for item.
l perceive that there would be a
wide difference of opinion between
your committee and myself with ref
erence to what constitutes Sound
money" and | am persuaded that we
could under no circumstances do bus
mess together. Down in Kansas we
pride ourselves On having brains
enough to formulate our own ideas on
questions of public policy and that we
can find language in which to express
those IDEAS quite as vigorously as any
set of "hired HeSSians" in New York
who draw their pay from a society of
New and Old England bankers We
do experience a little difficulty some
times in finding sufficient money, an
der cur present .old standard system,
to pay our bills, but we supply the de-
tlciency with that glorious invention
OF yours, confidence, which bears the
same relation to money that dried ap-
Piles do to food.
| can but appreciate your bountiful
liberalitl in coming to our relief in
this, our extremity, and Offering to
supply US with matter for our paper.

to feed our Ignorant western readers"
and we have no doubt your generosity
springs from the purest motives OF
philanthropy for yourselves), but we
must confess to you that we have
rather fallen in love with that syno-
nym for Clearing House Certificates
Confidence, and since We have pros
pered so long on that diet, and since
we have been redeemed" by your
"cuckoos" in Kansas, we prefer to let
well enough alone and turn your gen.

temporary, the Monitor-Press of this

to know more of the methods of this

seemed so anxious to teach the peo-

showing it to a few friends, mailed it:

BETTER THAN A SLEEPING DRAUGHT-The
soul of Brooklyn electrician has been
sorely tried by the nocturnal song of cats.
Night after night his well-earned rest
would be broken by the solos, duets and
chorus which were given by the feline con-
gregation in his backyard. One night
while he was lying awake. vowing deep
and sum mary vengeance on his tormentors,
an inspiration came to him. He had heard
that the cat, like skylark, does not sing
on the ground. 1t must climb fence to
find inspiration for the outpourings of its
musical soul. The electricians backyard
is surrounded by high fence which would
invariably be studded with dim sill
houettes far into the night. The over
wrought sufferer conceived the idea of run
ming wire through which he could
send powerful electric current around
the top of the fence, the switch
board being close to his hand. He
says the sweetest moment of bis life was
when the first cat had bumped its back
against the fire. He joyously pressed the
button. There was a ragged, alternating
current-kind-o of a-howl and an instantan-
eous whisking of furry mass, and all was
still. Within week not cat would come
within rods of the fence and the ingenious
Brooklynlte now sleeps peacefully.

out that the trolley which in many places
may be superseded by the new systems is
doing great deal more good than harm.
Among thousand benefits it has wrought
is the raising of the health standard
of cities by enabling the poor to enjoy
and even live in the pure air of the coun-
try. 1t has saved many more lives than it
has destroyed. A comparison has just
been made which throws an entirely new
light on the question of deaths by trolley
accidents. When the trolley traffic is
compared with the death rate on the great
steam roads, the proportion is astonish-
ingly in favor of the widely denounced
trolley. This is the more notable, as the
steam roads have their tracks guarded
from the intrusion of pedestrians to q great
extent. Yet, in spite of the raising of the
crossings at the more dangerous points,
and the adoption of the block signal system
and other elaborate and ingenious pro-
cautions for the protection of life, the New
York Central Railroad reports one death
for every $1,000 passengers which it car
RES: the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern, one death to every $1,000; the New
York, Lake Erie and Western, one death
to every 10000. If the trolleys of any
city made a death rate like that there
would be a riot in the city until the cars
were removed from the streets In Brook
lyn, where the trolley death rate is rela-
lively high, the proportion is only one to
every 3,135.000 persons carried. Yet no
one hears anything about the Central Jug
gernaut or the Erie juggernaut. There is
a good traditional warrant for giving the
prince of darkness his due, and these fig
ures may be borne in mind when unlimited
denunciation of the trolley is in progress.

Ex-Chief of Police Schaffer has informed

have been in connection with the informa-

The evidence against Donley. it is
claimed, was procured by Officer Banks

An Indiana Boy Rendered Partially In

Edward Dragoo, boy Is years old, ap-
preached an officer in West Oakland yes
terday and told him he had committed
crime. His mind was apparently affected
and the lad was sent to the City Prison.
Young Dragoo is the son of wealthy
parents at Winchester, Ind. Two years
ago he offended his parents and rather
than incur the consequences he ran away.
Dragoo reached Oakland a few weeks
ago. and as he could get no work he was
reduced to starvation. Hunger brought on
a mild form of insanity and he IMAGINED
that his mother was dead and that he
would commit suicide. He was examined
by Judge Frick yesterday and the INQUIRY
was postponed to see if he improved. He
has improved much in the County Jail and
has now expressed desire to go home.
Attorney Aver has taken an interest in
the lad, and telegraphed his parents of the
boys condition and asked for ticket to
his home.
