had the sad misfortune of humping his
knees and chin together. Then came
dialogue by Mary McCarty, Agnes
Viclters and James McCarty, in which
Mary was entertaining her sisters
beau, followed by Master Willie Lud-
wig in which he told about "that boy
Jim," which was excellent. Then
came Agnes Vickers who told about

use the same specs when we look at
others that we do when we look at our
selves this world would appear to be a
beautiful place, followed by Charles
Franey who was telling about "bache-
lors woes" Malin Vikers told us that
Weary Whiskers had said Santa Claus

Two Young Men From Coal Run Two
Dollars and n Horse Ahead.
Mr.. Lou Strecker complained to the
Mayor Thursday night that the firm of
Strecker Bros had been swindled by
George Carnes and young man named
Wilson, both of Coal Run. Thursday
afternoon Truman Harris, in company
with the young men named, took two
old horses to the fertilizer works of
Strecker Bros above the city, and sold
the animals for dollar apiece, getting
his money on the spot
A short time afterward Carnes and
Wilson called at Streker Bros Putnam
street store and stated that they had
left two horses at the fertilizer works,
whereupon they were paid two dollars.
They then went back to the works,
took one of the horses, rode away, and
have not been seen since.

compel the surrender of an oil lease,
was decided in favor of the defendants.
w. S. Gracey, who is interested in

sitting up nights with the well ever
since it was drilled in. Mr.. Gracey re-
ports it to be good for fifty barrels per
day at least, although definite know
ledge of its capacity cannot be obtain
ed until the hole is entirely tubed and
pumped. There is no gas in the well.

In ignoring professional politicians
in his selection of the Venezuelan Com
mission the President has struck a
popular chord of public sentiment. 1t
is safe to say that the question will not
suffer on account of partisan views in
the Commission.

If President Cleveland wishes to stop
running the Nation in debt he will rise
above the littleness of his party and
sign the emergency revenue bill with
out hesitation. When the deficiency
is overcome the gold reserve will be all
right.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-01-03

THE financial resolution of Senator
Sherman is not intended to retire the
greenbacks but for the express purpose
of preventing Secretary Carlisle de-
pleting the gold reserve by paying out
treasury notes for the ordinary eXpens
es of the government These treasury
notes are Immediately presented and
gold demanded therefor, bonds are
issued to secure the gold required, the
treasury notes are taken up by Mr..
Carlisle and paid out again in the at
tempt to cover as far as possible the
deficiency of revenue. Thus the end
less chain keeps winding its load of
bonded debt upon the country.
4 The Ohio Senator seeks by his reso-
Tuition to compel the Secretary to pay
out the treasury notes for gold only,
which would necessarily maintain the
gold reserve intact.

IT is unfortionate for our English
cousioIs that they had hardly assumed
their exalted pose as a peace loving
and magnanimous nation until DR..
Jamison, the British Commissioner of
the South African Company, organized
a band of 700 maranders and invaded
the territory of the Beers in the Tran
vaal. Salisbury makes a feint of try
ing to stop hostilities, but the Doctor
knew his business and cut the wires
before starting. Germany, it is under
stood, will brook no such thievish in
vasion, and stands ready to punish any
tresspass upon her dependents.

SPEAKING of the Senate Clerkship,
Mr.. Gaines chances are in much less
danger from the Foraker faction
than from the fact that he has already
been twice chosen to fill the position
and it is Republican doctrine that
two terms are enough. The ranks of
the party contain entirely toom any
aspiring and capable men to set pre-
ce6ent of life tenure in political office.
