{. We favor the retention at part
of our money of the silver now coin
ed, and, in order to give wider field
for the use of silver, we favor the
funding Of all money other than silver
and silver certificates before the de.
nomination of ten dollars into higher
denominations, so as to make our en-
tire circulation, below the denomina-
ton of ten dollars, either silver or
silver certificates and to this end,
the Secretary Of the Treasury should
be authorized by law to coin from
time to time, as the people may re.
quire them, silver dollars until the
demands of commerce for money be.

at all times satisfied.

banking system was adopted during
time of war and that 1t is not adapt
ed to existing conditions. We, there
fore, favor such legislation as will
secure to the people system of bank
ing surrounded by such safeguards as
will at all times furnish them a safe,
elastic, sufficient currency for the
transaction Of their business.
7. We cannot too highly commend
the unhagging courage and sturdy
patriotism of President Cleveland in
his efforts to protect the national
honor and to maintain the public
credit during a period of great finan
cial distress and under conditions
which threatened danger to both. We
congratulate him and the entire coun-
try on the evidences of returning
prosperity.
The resolutions were read with
deliberation and intently followed by
the convention, and each was APP
plauded until the reference to Presi-
dent Cleveland was reached Then
there was a succession of cheers and a
Mississippi delegate yelled; Read
it again" The demand was complied
with, and there was more enthusiasm.
When the vote was taken the reso.
lutions were adopted without discus
sion and with shout. Not a voice
was heard in the negative.
Then resolutions were adopted CIV
ing hearty Endorsement to the work
of the reform committee on sound
money of New York, and also urgirg
the formation of sound money leagues
and clubs throughout the South, and,
after farewell address from Congress
man Patterson, the convention ad.

FOUND LACKING IN AREA.
GROW COUNTY FAILS FOR WANT OF
THE 400 SQUARE MILES.

The Grow county commissioners,
Messrs. Harvey, Wheelock and Sny-
der, filed their report with the Secre-
tary of Internal Affairs Monday after.
noon. The report shows that the
proposed county would have 3SI
square miles on a limit of ten miles
from the court house and 323 miles
taking the city limits of Wilkes Barre
as the starting point. The Luzerne
County Commissioners filed an objec-
ton to the survey beginning at the
court house and the attorney general
gave a decision that the county seat
meant the place in which the court
house is located and not the court
house itself. Grow county fails there
fore for want of territory. being 10
miles short on one survey and II on
the other. The expenses of the com.
missioners will not exceed $1,000
which are paid by the State.
The existing maps upon which an
estimate of the area was made were
proven entirely unreliable. In two
townships on the East side, Dorrance
and Dennison, thirty four square miles
were lost to the new county, the act
ual survey showing these townships
to be that much closer the county
seat than they are marked on the
map.
Not a few believe there is an
African concealed somewhere in the
wood pile and declare they will turn
in and help the Quay county boomers

THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS.
AN EFFORT MADE TO HAVE THE READ.
ING OF IT DISCONTINUED-TH
CASE IN THE COURTS.
SCRANTON, Pa Nav a5.

SCRANTON, Pa, Nav 20.
The Waverly borough school case,
in which George Z. Stevenson, Andrew
Mahoney and d. l.. Stone seek to
prevent the reading of the Bible in
the public schools, occupied the entire
day in Equity Court here to-day.
After all the morning had been con
sumed in the introduction OF testimony,
it was agreed that the fact that the
Bible was read in the school was un-
disputed, and that the case should be
disposed of upon the arguments
The attorneys engaged in the case
are among the most talented of the
Lackawanna county bar. Tx. District
Attorney John P. Kelly and Edward
{. Newcomb appear for the plaintiff,
and H. M. Hannah, A. ID. Dean and
Hulslander and Vosburg for the
School Board. Only two arguments
were heard to- day, both for the School
Board. Attorneys A. A. Vosburg and
H. NJ. Hannah contended that the
Bible was not a sectarlan book that
this case was practically decided in
Maine, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and
Massachusetts, where the Bible was
SAID to be not sectarian and that
Christianity having been declared a
part of the common law of Pennsyl.
vania by the Supreme Court, then the
Bible is also a part of the common
law, as it is the base upon which
Christianity rests.
Mr.. Hannah argued that the fact
that the Bible had been read in the
public schools of this State for two
hundred years without opposition was
a part of the history OF the State and
if 1t was opposed to the law and the
Constitution he thought it peculiar
that it had not been stopped by the
able lawyers of the State within that
time.

NO APPORTI0NMENT.
ALL THE BILLS KILLED-THREE IN THE
HOUSE, ONE IN THE SENATE.

The Legislature defeated all OF the
apportionmeut bills. In the House
the Congressional, Senatorial and
Legislative bills were remorselessly
slaughtered, and the Senate took up
the knife and killed the judicial bill.
There was great surprise expressed
over this action of the two bodies.
Last week the House by an over
whelming vote expressed its desire to
reapportion the State, and the great
change Of sentiment will surely
have to be explained to their con-
stituents when the legislators return
home.
Among those who profess to know
it is said that the control of the dele
gates from Philadelphia to the Nation
al Republican Convention is at the
bottom of the whole matter. They
say that under the present apporton
ment Senator Quay will control part
OF the delegates, but under the
measures defeated he would have
absolutely no control in Phila-
delphia. 1t was also asserted by the
political "knowalls " that the lining
up in the House against these bills
was for the purpose of showing
the strength of the Quay, Penrose
following in that body.

A Minister'S Experience With Heart

Rev. l.. w. Showers, Elderton, Pa,
"For many years my greatest enemy
has been organic heart disease. From
uneasiness about the heart, with pal.
