a Little Girls Original Dcanition In Court
OF "wha Is n Sin?'

An incident worth recording occurred
before Chief Judge Sedgowiok of tho
superior court in the trial of the action
brought in behalf of Ida Goldberg to re-
cover $4,000 damages from Edward
Ridley q Sons for injuries received in
being knocked down and run over by
one of the wagons of the firm. The girl
had her arm fractured. The defense was
that she was responsible for the acct
dent by her own negligence.
Lottie Goldberg, q sister of the plain
tiff, who is only IL years of age, was
called to the witness chair to testify to
the circumstances Of the accident. She
was such q little child that she was
questioned as to her understanding the
nature Of an oath, in order to ascertain
whether she should be allowed to testify.
"Do you understand the nature Of an
oath?,'
Eyes, sir"
"What is it?"
"It is O swear"
On cross examination the little girl
was asked:
"What do you mean when you say it
is O swear?'
well, it is that I have to tell the
truth"
"If you don't tell the truth. what
them"
"That would be o sim"
What is q sin?"
"a bad mark from God." answered
the little one.
The venerable chief judge was visibly
touched at this answer Of the child and
remarked, "This is o very intelligent
child and perfectly understands the OBJ
legations of an oath" She was then al
lowed to give her testimony.-New York
Recorder.

WHAT DAN MANNING DID.
The Difference Between Cleycland,s
First and Second dAdminist rations

First md Second dAdministrations
A story was told in the United States
Senate few days ago which illustrates
the difference between the financial
policy Of MIR. Cleveland's first and
second administrations. This story
Is given by the New York World.
which endorses and cOmmends il to
the present administration, and the
World Is gold-bug paper:
Senator Perkins, of California, told
today for the first timn the story of
what Daniel Manu.ng did when lie was
secretary OF the hreusnry, and q syndi-
cafe tried TO mako the government
surrender gold for boarding and specu-
lation.
They were raiding the treasury in
those days just as they have been raid
ing 1T under MIR. Cleveland's admins
tratlon. secretary Manning saw and
understood the situation. He also saw
| the remedy, although it is quite DOS
slble that what he did was suggested
| to him by MIR. Tildcn. He took his
gripsack and started for New York.
| When he arrived he sent for the chief
raiders OF the treasury. If [ should
mention their names they would sound
quite familiar to those VINO have been
reading the story Of the great Morgan
syndicate.
'Gentlemen,' said the secretary. IN
q cold, hard voice, the treasury is Will
ing to furnish gold for any legitimate
demand, but If you attompt to draw
upon the treasury gold after today as
you are now doing, for boarding or
speculation, | shall adopt an effective
remedy for the protection OF the gov
ernments reserve. We have a cash
balance of over $l50,O00,OOO. Not one
OF you doubts for moment the pur-
pose and ability of the government to
maintain specie payments. But if you
continue to withdraw gold shall at
once order that you be paid 10 per
cent. In silver coin the first day. The
second day you will be paid 20 per
cent. In silver, the third day 80, and so
on until one-half will be paid YOU in
silver
But exclaimed the astoundod
bankers, this is in violation of the i'm
piled obligation that the government
Make no mistake about that, gen
tlomen,' replied Mr.. Manning THE
law says coin, and che treasury will
exercise it's undoubted prerogative.'
That ended the gold raiding. The
government won its point just as soon
as the secretary of the treasury showed
that he had q backbone.
""Secretary Carlisle Is in an impreg-
nable position at this momont. He has
the whole country ready to aid him If
he Is In earnest. He knows and every
authority upon the subject in Washing
ton declares that the banks of the
country, not to say the bankers, would
not dare to lot the gold reserve be OK
