That Money Question.

B%SSSA~N'
EDITOR ,SADvoCATE:-I notice il
your issue of February 20, the criti
cism of w. G. Nelson on the nature o.
the greenbsck as represented by "Uni
Versity." 1t is certainly time the
status of the greenbsck and other
money was understood by all, espe
cially reformers. Brother Nelson's
book. keeping idea does not quite suit
my idea of money of any kind. Money
is more than q receipt. 1t not only
shows that be who holds it has be.
slowed upon the government so much
labor, or its products, but it is the SOY
ereign representative Of that much
wealth belonging to any one in the ma
tion, and a legal tender for its face in
any labor or products Of labor. Any
one can give a receipt for labor OF
wealth which he has received as pay
ment Of obligations, but none but a
sovereign government can make that
receipt a legal tender for the same
amount Of others wealth. Money is a
government legal-tender representa-
tive of nations wealth, issued for
the purpose of carrying on commerce
between its citizens. It is like a lake,
inland sea, or nsvigable river, or the
public highways of the nation. Money,
like other public functions of com.
merce, may be used by any citizen of
the nation. But no citizen has any
right to hinder any other citizen in his
use Of the public highways. Neither
has he any more right to collect usury
upon government money than to ex-
tort toll upon the public highway; no
more right to hide away and keep from
circulation money than he would to
obstruct the public highway, or dam
up nsvigable river.
When the government issued treas.
ury notes to soldiers and others, prom.
ising them they should be "good as
gold" and made all who received them
pay 100 cents on the dollar for them,
it did what it should have done-gave
the people a legal representative of
their wealth. When it legisIated gold
to premium and then sold useless,
fraudulent bonds for greenbacks at the
rate of 80 cents on the dollar of gold
and silver, or converted them into
coin bonds at the same rate Of dis
count, it deliberately defrauded all
who had taken government money Of
one-hslf It's value, and gave it to the
money gamblers of Europe and Amer.
lea. A government that discredits its
issue of money is as dishonest as q
man who would buy up his own obli-
cations at so per cent.
The government was under no obj.
cation to redeem these notes, as they
we're called, but It was under Obllga-
don to make them Like gold and silver
coins, full legal tender for all debts,

teacher; thoughts Cn9C nad otCen come
before, but had been dismissed very
braVe..-, too, since the youthful mind
they sought to enter would have
deemed it an exquisite JOY to retain
them if they had thought it wise and
proper. But that night spirit of self
indulgence seized him. He gave full
sway to a delightful imagination, and
taking a sheet of paper from the table,
he began to put his thoughts in black
and white. Harry had never before
thought of writing such words to his
teacher; but he wrote them boldly, lust
as he longed to speak to her, telling her
how he had learned to love her, of the
wonderful joy and strength that her
compsnionship had brought to his life,
and begging that he might be allowed
to win her for his own. Harry read
the impsssiOned sentences over and
over. He imagined Clara receiving it
with the proud happy confession which
she would give to the man she loved;
and he deliberately INDUCED in the
wild pleasure of imagination.
81 would not do it," he said seri-
ously, at last. 'Tt would be folly. Miss
MsYse has promised me a precious
friendship. The special friendship of
such a woman is not a thing to throw
away. 1 must be thankful for it, and
satisfied with it. 1t may be blessing
to my whole life, but if l should 60 too
far in my boyish presumption, it might
never be the same again. 1 will at
least keep that. l shall not make her
think me unworthy the friendship of
an earnest woman by Immediately de
msnding her love, like a sentimental
school boy"
While Harry had been thinking, he
had taken blank sheet of paper from
the desk, and absently lingering it, had
folded it and the letter in exactly the
same manner. Now, taking up one of
the folded papers, the letter as he sup
posed, he threw it resolutely into the
fire, and placing the other carelesSly
among some books, he went quietly to
bed, feeling very much like wounded
hero, who had nevertheless won a vic
tory.
The school closed, and they were
about to part thus. The last day of
Clars's stay came. She was busy all
that day saying good-byes to friends
and with school reports, etc.
Harry knew that her good bye to
him would be said when he should |
drive with her to the station for the
early train the next morning. But,
alas for Harry's plansl That afternoon |
he was called to help friend with |
some driving, and one of the party be-
ing thrown from horse and seriously |
hurt, he was unable to return home
until some hours after Clara had left.
Something happened before Harry
left, however, that proved to be an i'm
portant link in this chain of circum-
stances. While he stood at the door
talking with Alfred and waiting for
his friend, Fred Cole, to come, they
heard Miss MaYse's voice from within
the room asking for a sheet of paper.
Just then she was called out by the
children, and became interested in
some of their sports. Harry went in

written Dote in Harry's bold hand
writing, he concluded that his cousil
knew just what he had done. So will
smile and a sigh, he quickly refoldeC
the letter and gave it to Clara wheT
she came, saying simply: "Mis
Mayse, here is something Harry lef
for YOU"
The household was in state Of gen
eral unrest that night. Most Of tn
family remained up quite late waiting
for Harry who had been expected mucl
earlier. Mr.. and Mrs. Mills were talk
ing earnestly together on the cas-
porch. Alfred was lying on the grss
in an unusually thoughtful mood
Clara was upstairs alone in her room
alone with Hsrry's letter. She was jus
starting down to get a pen when sh'
heard one of the neighbors ride up an(
call to Mr.. Mills that Fred Cole hsC
been hurt and Harry would probabl!
not be at home that night. Afte
pausing for a moment to muse will
sincere sympathy for the misfortune
of Harry's friend, and natural regrei
at the thought that she might not SCI
him again, she went on in search o.
the pen.
AS she came quietly and thought
fully into the dsrkened study room
where she knew she had left the pen
she could hear distinctly the voices Of
Harry's father and mother as they
talked outside.
Mrs. Mills was saying, with some
impatience in her tone:
"Hsrry is young and ambitious anG
she has led him at her will. He should
have had our advice more"
"Well, it may be too late to help it
but we'll see what can be done" re
turned the husband with equal annoy
ance in his voice, "Hsrry should 60 to
college, anyway, snd I'll send himl"
Clara quickly secured the pen and
left the room. "It will not be nee.
esssry, Mr.. Nils" she whispered, as
she wesrily climbed the stairs, as under
the sudden weight of heavy burden.
There was no doubt in Clsrs's mind
that Harry's parents were speaking of
herself in connection with him. Her
own mind was so full Of him and his
probable relation to her and she had
no doubt that his parents knew of it
and were thinking Of it also. "They
evidently feel that he is too young to
think of marriage and that / have
taken advantage Of my position and
association with him." ran through
Clars's excited mind. "But
am younger than he and l would not
wish to make any mistakes. Ah, Mr..
Mills, l can teach Harry to forget this,
without sending him off to college,
either. But why should it be thus"
she cried.
She who had so often talked with
Harry and encouraged his ambition to
90 to college-was he to have this cher
ished plan fulfilled that he might for
get his love for her!
If the world had sneered that she
should marry her pupil, she would have
scorned it, and turned proudly to that
pupil as the most manly man that all

Masonic Funeral Rites.

An earnest band of faithful Free Masons
yesterday afternoon followed to the grave
the mortal remains of j. D. Smith, late of
Concordia lodge, Kansas. He had come
here also too late to find health, and after
week or two of painful lingering he
died on Sunday last. Yesterday special
meeting of the members of Montezuma
lodge was summoned to pay the last sad
tribute of respect to departed brother.
The worshipful master, officers and others
walked in procession to the house where
the body lay; there prayer was said by the
chaplain, the procession was again formed
and the brethren escorted the remains to
Fairview cemetery, where after service,
chanting the dirge and final prayers the
obsequies were completed. This is the
first Masonic funeral which has occurred
in Santa Fe since 1889.

$40 and costs or fifteen days in Jail; for
using obscene and threatening language
on the streets, $50 and costs or sixty
days in Jail; for resisting an officer, 800
and costs or sixty days in Jail. Julian
Arias, who aided in waylaylng Sena, was
