F. J. Ripley in his comments on paper
and coin money in reply to, or criticism
of, an opinion of Jonathan Roberts, in
the Sitter Knight, makes the following
suggestions, predictions or argument, or
perhaps all three are embraced. We
quote the language of Mr.. Ripley.-"1f a
reform party succeeds i'll '96 all debts will
be pushed for collection in gold before
the reform party has time to do anything.
If the people must at once pay their debts
IN gold under present financial conditions
two-thirds will be homeless, turned down
to poverty and death. In that event the
existence of the government won't be
worth three hoops in any country.
"To avert this catastrophe you must
again call on greenbacks under the sus-
pension of specie payment, that is, not at
the time receivable for public dues, but
legal-tendey for private debts. 1t will he
the only way to save the peoples property
and preserve the government"
We have used italics to point out the
most radical error OF the many erroneous
notions contained in those two short
paragraphs. Where does Mr.. Ripley
find authority for saying debts would be
pushed for payment in gold? Debts are
payable at the option OF debtor in any
currency i'll the country, even in national
bank notes, and they are the farthest re-
moved from legal-teuder of any money in
circulation How 'the existence Of the
government is to be put in such peril as
Mr.. Ripley imagines, by creditor at
tempting to puch out his debtor when he
knows there will be a sacrifice Of property
which he must often share in, is taking
it for granted that the creditor is very
much of fool, which he never is. When
the prospect is fair for better times and
better prices he would gladly wait
Must "again call on greenbacks. :"
Havn't we greenbacks whice are legal
tender for all debts among citizens? and
it would only be necessary to issue few
millions more which the reform party in
power would do, and without any
bankers exception on the back. Why
mot receivable for public dues?" The
greenbacks always have been receivable
for public dues except import dues. mot
at the time receivable for public dues"
Why not at the time or any time? We
rather think Mr., Ripley did not very we'll
understand what he was talking about.
Such stuff should be called attention to by
the editor in foot note. People not
well informed might be made nervous by
reading it.

CALIFORNIA.
Personally Conducted Tours via Penn
sylvania Railroad.

So beautiful is the scenery of
California that Nature must have
expended more than her usual
energy in its creation, and especially
is this true during the months of
March and April, when the rainy
season has passed and flowers
bloom everywhere. Fortunate, in
deed, is the person who can ex-
change the WINERY climate of the
East for the flower perfumed and
healthful atmosphere of California,
and no better method of doing this
can be had than by participating
in the second "Golden Gate" tour,
organized under the perfect per-
sonally conducted tourist system of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany.
The tousists will leave New York
and Philadelphia March IL, 1896,
and return to those cities May Z,
a lowing four and one-h half weeks in
Call1Of0la.
A new feature to the magnificent
train used for these tours in pre-
vious years is a through Pullman
compartment car.
The car, which will be the very
best that the Pullman Company
can supply, will contain nine in
closed compartments-two drawing
rooms and seven state rooms-and
will be attached to the special train
at Jersey City and run through to
San Francisco.

like the working people to subsidy Oh
under condition as money. Money was
by this and other means made scarcer as
population and business expanded; and
the fall in prices, while the value of debts
rose with the purchasing power of money.
Farmers lost their land by tens of thous'
ands and became tenants as in the old
countries. Bankrupts and failures in
business increased by thousands and are
steadily increasing as prices fall, while
debt and gold increase in value. The
money and property are slipping in a
steady stream from the many into the
possession of the few as prices fall, poverty
advances on the people and interest con-
sumes them as a pestilence.
In every country where this gold finan'
cial system, invented by these Rothschild
pawn broker Jews, is in the ascendent,
the people are sinking deeper into pow
erty.. Are the American people going tc
be enslaved by the cunning and corrupt
practices of this Jew family with theil
"gold basis" fraud? They have by brib
cry corrupted the leaders of the old pc
litica1 parties, who are throwing off forfne,

highest bidder for gold.

The Only True Humorist Is Private
John Allen of Mississippi.
While the House membership EN- braces
a number of men who by courtesy might
be designated as humorists, because they
are SO attuned by nature as to cause their
colleagues amusement by what they say
or how they say it, the fact remains
that, with one solitary exception, the
House has no humorist in the true sense
OF the word. There is johnson of Califor-
ma, who bade fair to drape himself in
that honor, but he expired after he had
delivered one speech and has since sunk
TO the stage of mere wit. Mr.. Gros-
Venor is wit and says some remarkably
bright things at times, but the inevitable
naVor OF sarcasm which tinctures his sal
ileS rules him out as a humorist Reed
belongs to the same catagory, and while
ne often makes the House laugh-or rather
did make the House laugh before the
PRESIDENTIAL bee buzZed in his bonnet-his
wlttlclsms are always at the expense of
somebody's feelings. Dolliver of Iowa, in
this sense, is amusing at times, but gener
ally there is faint of rancor in what he
says, also, which gives his humor par
tisan flavor. Gibson is humorous uncon-
sciously. He never means to be and he
doesn't realize it, and the delight he occa-
sions is not intelligently controlled.
Sulzer is somewhat in the same

A Serenade to the Great Spanish
Musician at His Hotel
Last Night.

There was sound of revelry last night
at the Baldwin Hotel just about the time
the guests were retiring. People heard the
strains of Hail to the Chief waited in no
uncertain tones up the stairs, and this
was followed by prolonged applause and
the sound of many voices.
Whats the matter?" asked the guests
anxiousiy of the bellboys. thinking that
a circus had broken loose IN the rotunda.
But the Dellboys reassured them by stat
ing that what they heard was serenade
given by number of local musician to
young Achille Rivarde, distinguished
violinist who had just arrived from the
East.
The applause was when Rivarde ap-
peared on the stairs and in eloquent French
thanked his fellow musicians for their
music and invited them to adjourn with
him to the cafe and their refresh the inner
man at his expense.
Rlyarde Is a young musician who has
leaped into sudden fame during the last
year or two. He Is only 27 years of age
and has already played as solo violinIst
with such conductors as Nikirch, Lamou-
roux and Seidl. In appearance he is al
most as picturesque as Padere wski, but in
quite different stvle of beauty.
Rivarde is tall, slim and dark, with what
noveists would describe as Liquid" dark
eyes, and he possesses ebony locks of a
length and luxuriance which Samson
might have envied.
When asked what school he belonged to
the young musician remarked decidedly:
None; | am school to myself Vieux-
temps was my master and l had about six
months lessons from Wieniawski, but |
do not believe in belonging to any set
