At the corner of Fourth avenue ana
Smithfield street, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch, a lady from Glenwood entered a
crowded outgoing car. The conductor
knew who she was and that she resided
in Glenwood. He suspected that she had
made a mistake and that she thought she
was on a Second avenue car, so he crowd
ed up the aisle and politely inquired:
Where are you going, lady?'
That's my business" she tartly re-
piled.
The conductor said nothing more, ana
the car sped along through the dark,
crossing the Monongahela through the
covered Tenth street bridge and rapidly
putting space between it and Glenwood.
When 1t entered the big Knoxville incline
elevator and stopped nobody said word.
After a minutes wait up the precipice it
started, leaving the sparkling electric
light far below.
MY goodness" screamed the Glenwood
woman 10 the conductor, where is this
car goihg?"
That's my business" dryly replied the
conductor.

PIethora or Pnucitxr
From the Macon GA Telegraph DEM

Mexico is on a boom. one of our free
coinage contemporaries says, in it's anX-
iety to prove that the silver standard is a
good thing. Mexico has supply of money
amounting to SAL per capita, according to
purchasing power only about half as great
as ours. If we had only $2.35 per head,
therefore, we would be as well supplied.
booming says the United States are suffer-
ing from an unparalleled business depres-
sion because We have not money enough
though we have $24 a head-so that II is
the position of asserting that 81 IS is an
abundant supply of money in one country
while in another $24 is an inadequate sup
ply. In one, $2.S5 is enough TO produce a
boom, while S24 is not enough TO prevent
extreme depression in the other. It would
be much more logical to contend that the
depression in the United States is caused
by an cVer-supply of money, and that the
remedy for it is to reduce the supply to
about the Mexican figures

Anything for n Pension Grab.
From Springheld (Nfass.) Republican Qnd.I

The most ridiculous piece of legislation
lately brought into notice is that New Y orlS
statute of 1892 which authorizes counties
and towns TO pay back 90 any man who
was drafted in 1868 and hired substitute,
the sum of $500 with interest from that date
to the present. This was carrying the PEN
sloning business to the point of rewarding
the men who escaped military duty entire
~. The theory Of the law seems to have
been that the drafted person fought for
his country through a substitute and was
entitled to reward for his distinguished
services. but Justice Brown of one OF the
state courts, who has pronounced the act
unconstltut onal. says that the money paid
by the drafted man for a substitute was
for his own personal benefit and not Tor
"A public object. Many good men and brave
men hired substitutes and were in a po-
stion where they were practically COM
PEELED TO. but We DID not suppose that there
was ono In the whole list who had the
temerity 20 claim that the government
thereby had put itself under debt 10 him.
How such law ever got through the leg
isiature seems 10 be a mystery.

Gold Shipments.

Isn't It a fact that too much is made
of the gold shipments? Every time
shipment Of gold is made. whether it be
large or small, there are scarc-head dis
patches about it in the newspapers and
the stock market is seized with panicky
feeling. The holders of securities are led
to believe there is going TO be a great
fall in the prices Of stocks and bonds and
they make haste to part with their hold
ings. Isn't much of this alarm unneces-
sary? Mr.. L. o. Leech who was former
~ director of tho mint. thinks it is. In
recent article he says: ITO my mind the
small shipments of gold TO Europe al this
time to pay obligations due there is
matter of not the slightest moment. So
long as we were initiating our currency by
the issue of legal tender notes against the
purchase and storage of silver bars and
at the same time the stock of gold in the
treasury was steadily diminishing, the
matter Of gold exports was one of vital
Importance. for the reason that every dol
lar of gold then shipped rendered more
difficult the task of maintaining our cur
rency interconvertible with gold on de-
mand. But now that the issue of legal
tender notes has ceased, now that the
free gold in the treasury applicable to
the redemption of our paper money aggre-
gates s1O5,00O0OO-an amount in excess Of
the reserve heretofore deemed necessary
it is a matter Of Indifference so far as
the general public is concerned whether
In, In,
silver or commodities. Naturally, we would
prefer to have foreigners take commodi-
ties in settlement of balances, but so far
as any business or industry is affected in
this country, 1 repeat that the export of
desultory quantities of gold is a matter
of Indifference and unworthy of the slight
est attention, much less dread"
This seems to be a very common sense
view of the gold shipment question. The
country appears to have forgotten that we
have ceased to issue treasury notes for
silver that have to be redeemed in gold,
and also forgets that our stock of gold Is
steadily increasing from our own mines
and also from the mines of Canada, Brit
ish Columbia, Mexico and Central and
South America. OF course, we do not get
all the gold that is produced in Mexico
and Central and South America, but we
get a great deal of it. Not much of this
gold appears in the treasury statement
but 1t is in the country.
What does it matter, therefore, II BE-
tween now and the time when our ship
ments of commodities will cause gold TO
flow in this direction our gold reserve
should fall below 100000? The treas
ury officials do not seem to be alarmed
at the outflow of small amounts of gold
at this time. Why, then, should anybody
else be alarmed?

IL Is Shameful.
From the Columbus (Ga.) Herald Oem.)

The democrats of the south ought to rise
up as one man and frown down this mig
gardly abuse Of a democratic President by
the sOrehead press. 1t is perfectly natural
that republicans should vilify a demo-
cratic President, but for democratic papers
to keep uD a continual show of spite and
hatred toward the man elected by their
own party, shows a sad lack of the right
sort of democracy.

A London genius has produced what
may be called an automatic doctor. The
basis is the nickle-in-the-slot machine. A
tall figure in human shape stands on a
pedestal All over the head, body and
limbs of the figure there are
slots, and over the slots the
names of ailments that affect the cor
responding parts of the human anatomy
When a penny is dropped into one of the
slots the. mechanical doctor hands out a
prescription for the complaint specified.
The prescription is taken to a drug store,
where it is promptly filled, for the form
ulas have been written by some of the
leading physicians of the metropolis. 1t
is said these wooden doctors have proved
of great benefit to the poor of the White
chapel and other similar districts who
cannot afford to consult practising ply
stefan.

It is said that at the next meeting of
the Illinois Methodist conference an eff
fort will be made to abolish the time limit
of ministers appointments. Under the
laws of the conference a minister can re-
main In charge of the same church only
five years. A similar law governs in this
state, we believe. In Illinois some of the
preachers object to the frequent movings,
and, it is said, they will lead in the move
ment to make the proposed change. On
the other hand. 1T is said, there win go to
the conference a petition from laymen to
let the law stand as it is. Under the ex-
isting system the wealthy churches can
not monopolize the best preachers, and
the poor churches are not forced to be
content with poor preachers always.

that the new little Miss Cleveland, Mar

For some reason, according to the chron-

the name of Marion and gave each new
doll she got that name. with the result
that there were a dozen or so of more or
less disfgured Marions around the nurs-
cry before the stork brought the little
sister. And when that event occurred.
Ruth pleaded that the newcomer should
be given her favorite name. and her pa
rents humored the whim.
