MR.. CLEvELANDs OVERsIGHTs.

In discussing the sources OF dan
ger in our present monetary system
President Cleveland mentions allie
cept the principal source, the weak
keystone of the financial arch.
He shows what a menace to the
gold reserve greenbacks and treas
ury notes are aud how the endless
chain keeps the treasury stripped
of gold and the bond mill in motion.
But he overlooks altogether the
fact that the prime cause OF this
danger is the stupendous blunder
and crime of destroying one-half
our redemption money and making
it, with the rest of our currency, a
draft on the gold remnant. The
Single gold standard, with its essen
tial attachment, the fetch of the
gold reserve, is the real element of
danger which would be adverted by
the admission of silver to the coin
age on an equality with gold.
Mr.. Cleveland also wholly over
looks the dangers which would arise
from his scheme to protect the gold
of the government from draft for
ordinary commercial uses by turn
ing over control of the paper cur
rency TO the banks. Because the
gold is protected from raids it would
not lose its function as the sole mon
ey Of final redemption and the foun-
dation OF all credit. It's protection
Of the fund in the governments
vaults, therefore, would only make
the creation of bankers panics easy
and would render the periodic COM
mercial panics attendant on the
gold standard more disastrous,
when the huge system of corpora
tion credit money topples and col
lapses in the storm.
The dangers are inherent in any
monetary system in which credit
money is issued on the basis of one
| scarce metal. The only safety lies
in bimetalism, when both gold and
silver make up a practically ex
haustless stock of hard money gooC
at all times for redemption purpos
es and flowing freely where trade
needs call them II Post Dispatch

HE TOOK THE KELLY CURE.

This morning the reporter was
out picking up ''pick ups" for the
paper, when he was stopped by a
young business man, who, after
wishing him happy New Year,
said; 81 want to tell you that |
start out on the new year thorough
ly cured, and you can put me down
as a Keyleylte for &c." We express
ed our surprise at the young man,
tor we knew he did not drink, and
when he saw our puzzled look, he
said 81 do not mean that / have
been cured of the whisky habit, but
of giving my money to every good
thing that comes along. Yester-
day." he added, "a gentleman drop
ped in on me to buy city scrip in or
der to help the city pay for hose.
Now, | am forced to hire a night
watchman and pay him out of my
own pocket, l pay big tax, big
insurance, and am expected to put
up for balls, parties, parades, evan
gelists, help bury the pauper dead,
and a world of other little drains on
my business that amount up to a
pretty large sum during the year,
what mean is that / have taken
enough of the Kelley cure on this
score to make me say no to every
beggar that comes around" We
sighed after he had delivered him
self, and thought if every one in
the city was injected with the
won't give up virus for anything,
the city and many of its lnhabit-
ants will be in a "hard row of
stumps" before 1896 is ushered out.
We should give up our surplus every
time to help the city or relieve dis
tress, and we hope the Keeley cure
will not prove a cure on our young
friend.

No matter how hard a man may
struggle to do right, there is al
ways some sneaking scoundrel,
some loathsome reptile, some wart
on the hand.of destiny, trying to
drag him down. Many a man fails
not from lack of merit, but from
lack of appreciation by his fellow
men. Failure in lite is loss of co n
fidence in ones character, When
you see man faltering, take him
by the hand and help him up; when
you see him climbing, cheer him on,
that he may reach the top and
stand on the summit of success

He Owns a Bed.

Jim Christopher is now in posses
sion of a 800 bed stead. He had a
chance in the folding bed given
away by the Twin City Furniture
Company and was on hand when
the ticket was pulled from the box.
The ticket proved to be 806l, and
Mr.. Christopher glanced down at
his pasteboard and answered that
he held the corresponding number.
Jim is not married, neither does he
keep house, but he will cart that
bed stead to his room and rest his
tired form on it nightly. We con-
graduate you, Jimmie.

SHOT IN THE LEG.
A Good Negro, in Bad Company, Gets
a Bullet in His Leg.

Last night a lot oil boisterous ne
groes assembled at the brick build
ing, corner of Walnut and Clinton
street, near the Bender wagon fac
tory, and were under the influence
Of "nickel-in-the-slot' whisky, and
began 'guYing" passers by. A bug
gy came by with couple of white
men seated in it and the negroes
began pOking fun at them. One OF
the white men pulled his Swan
poodle angel" and shot into the
crowd, hitting George Son'ag, a
peaceable darkey who was not en-
gagged in the fun making, in the cali
of the leg. He is not hurt danger
ously but will be laid up for awhile.
After the shooting the two men
headed for the city, and as they
were not followed their identity is
not known.

Jan. 1st, 1896.
DEAR Mr.. PAPER MAN.

Jan. lst, 1896.
DEAR Mr.. PAPER MAN.
Do you think it is true saying
THAT every dark day has bright
neighbour"
Christmas morning dawned as
any common morning upon the
humble home of this preacher. We
were not filled with expectations as
of yore, only to be left alone to en-
Joy a day out with friends who were
kind enough to invite US, we gave
no thought to his Honor, Old Mr..
Santa Claus, until we were called
upon to recognize the actual pres
ence OF this unmistakable person
age as he came in and unloadedup-
on US.
We were compelled to admit that
we were not forgotten. We were
happy to be remembered. But the
old gentleman continued to come
during the next day and his bestow-
ments were accompanied by notes
and letters, assuring US of love and
esteem, that our bosoms like to
have been too small for our
swelling hearts. In each trip our
old friend seemed to do the right
thing at the right time, and in the
right way.
Now we want, laying aside the
old superstition, to thank every one
who remembered US this Christmas.
This has been happy week in many
respects. Oar prayer to God'i is;
Should another preacher and fami'
ly be in this humble cottage on next
Christmas, they may fare as well as
we have.
God bless our kind friends.

Pos.masters would do newspaper
publishers and some newspaper
readers good turn if they would
inquire, when man refuses to take
his paper from the Office, whether
he has paid up arrears and orders
it discontinued, says the Toledo
Blade. If he has not done so the
postmaster should explain that the
law would compel him to pay for
the paper whether he took it from
the Office or not, and that the only
way he has of stopping it is to pay
what he owes the publisher.
