Won't Work There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles, and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

One of LincoIn's Answers.

Speaking in recent speech of cer- tain Washington experiences in Lin coln's time. MT. Depew said: ''While l was there MT. John Ganson, of Buffalo, was member of congress. His face and his head were hairless and polished like a billiard ball. He was a demo- crat, but supported the president. The conditions of the army were very blue in the east and in the west. Ganson came in one day and said: MT. Presi- dent, I am risking my reelection in sup porting your war measures. The cam paign seems very unsatisfactory. Of course I will not give out anything you tell me. What is the situation at the front?' Mr. Lincoln, in his searching and sad way, looked at him for mo- ment as if he were about to reveal the secret of the whole army, and then tumbled Ganson out of the reception room by saving: 'Ganson, how clean you shave"

Wby They Separated.

The late Lord ,orford was one of the most aristocratic ornaments of the British peerage and the following ac- count of his separation from Lady Or fsrd, as told by Truth, is accordingly interesting: ''Both explained to me the reason. It was all about sugar basin. Shortly after their marriage, according to Lord Orford, her ladyship came down to breakfast without hay ing washed her hands and took some Jumps of sugar out of the bowl with her fingers, on which he requested her in future either to wash her hands or to use the sugar-tongs. According to Lady Orford his lordship objected to her talk ing so many Jumps of sugar for her tea"

CASHIER WASHES MONEY.

Microbes on Paper Currency Destroyed
 by an Ammonia Bath.
 The fair metropolitan cashier has added a new factor to her growing val uation which will not prove so desirable a vile in the eyes of her employer as the honesty and efficiency which have won for her almost monopoly in the business. It is the result of the microbe craze, says the Globe-Democrat, and is nothing less than washing all the money she handles, and charging her employer overtime, too. The discoverer of this new way to enhance her usefulness and cost is Annie Nesmyth, the money-taker of a big downtown hotel. Miss Nesmyth serves at night mostly, and while less money comes in then than during the day, she is generally kept busy enough. The money is often very dirty and to the last degree repulsive to handle. Now, the cashier is trained nurse resting" from her arduous pro- fessional labors. After sick spel. from handling the soiled currency she concluded to resign. She was persuaded Hot to by an increase of her salary and permission to wash the money. So every night sees a soup-plate of am monia water at her elbow, into which each note as it arrives is dropped. It gets quick bath and then is laid out on piece of flannel to dry as tenderly as if it were her best piece of jewelry. The water has to be changed two or three times in night

ton that still holds us plunged in the
depths of despair. One more quotation
from this surprising letter.:
I'VE avoid no issue. We meet the
sudden, dangerous, and revolutionary
assault upon law and order, and upon
those to whom is confided by the con-
stitution and laws the authority to up
hold and maintain them, which our op-
ponents have made, with the same
courage that we have faced every emer-
gency since our organization as q party
more than forty years ago.. Govern
ment by law must first be assured
everything else can wait. The spirit OF
lawlessness must be extinguished by
the fires of an unselfish and lofty patri-
otism.
Every attack upon the public faith
and every suggestion of the repudia-
ton of debts, public or private, must be
rebuked by all men who believe that
honesty is the best policy, or who love
their country and would preserve un-
sullied its national honor"
These are consecutive paragraphs
taken from near the close of the Letter
The only comment they call for IS that
the first might have been, with a few
immaterial changes, uttered by John p
Altgeld or Eugene v. Debs in opposi.
tion to government by injunction" oil
the lawless invasion Of a sovereign
state by the federal military, while the
last could easily have come from
Bourke Cochran, Tom Reed, or john
Sherman. Altogether the letter il
weak and may well prove discouragins
to republicans.

Will the East Secedef

The most frightful estimate of the
present condition of things in America
is contained in an article entitled WAR
to the Knife" published in the Nine
teenth Century Magazine. The writer
seems to be haunted by the dread of
terrible calamities in case the people of
the United States conclude that they
are able to run their own financial af-
fairs. He says:
"As the north was blind to the dan
ger of secession, so the American peo-
pie have been blind to the steadily
growing danger that the federal gov
ernment may at no distant day fall
into the hands of the silverites, and
that the eastern states will then be
compelled to choose between utter ruin
and withdrawal from the Union"
He points out that 1T is to the ignor-
ant west the United States owes the
greenback folly, the protectionist delu-
sion and the silver craze" and while
he now believes the chances for Nc
Kinley's election are favorable, says "a
defeat Of the silverites this year SIM
ply postpones their victory for four
brief years." In closing he says:
"That the free and unlimited coinage
of silver means the utter ruin of the
east, goes without saying. When the
silverites gain possession of the federal
government, the east must submit with
what grace 1t can muster to complete
and hopeless ruin, or II must
withdraw from the Union and endeavor
to maintain it's independence by arms. u
In order to allay the alarming symp-
toms we hasten to assure the east that
every legitimate business in that Sec
ton of the country will be benefited in
proportion as the west and south where
their factories find a market, are bene-
fitted. But II there be illegitimate pur-
suits that are ruined, we do not wish to
be held responsible.
Another hint When the east Is out
voted would be bad time for 1t to take
up arms against the trained squirrel
hunters of the south and cowboys and
miners Of the west.

The Location of He'll

Hon. Francis A. Walker, in his ad-
dress at the annual meeting Of the
bimetallic league held in London, July
13. 1896. said:
Were the city Of London to give its
consent, bimetallism might at once be
established on a broad and enduring
basis. OF all the vast expanse Of the
globe, one square mile alone blocks the
way to the adoption of a worlds
money as wide as the worlds trade.
The veto of this city rests upon .
monetary policy which has approved
itself by long and beneficent operation;
a monetary policy, the economic valid
ity and practical efficiency Of which
have been admitted with absolute
uhanimity by the most distinguished
commission which since the great in
quests on the bank charter, fifty and
sixty years ago, has been assembled in
this country-a monetary policy which
the nations Of the earth never needed
SO greatly as today"
Behold the nations Of the globe bow
ing in humble submission to the de-
cree of a den Of thieves one mile
square. How long. oh. Lord, how long
will great nations cling to their nurs-
ing bottles?
