Safety Only In sound Money.

"The Democrats, says Mr.. Harrity,
"cannot temporize with question Of
the finances. They must declare for
sound money. and there Is not the slight
est doubt that hcirplank in the nation
al platform viii be sound and explicit. "
They must declare, a. did the last ma
tional convention, that 1.-THE dollar unit
Of both metals must be Of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value" That covers
the question. 1t is the Democratic posi-
ton. In every national election since
1872 the Democrats have won on a
sound money platform. They have lost
when compromising with fiat money or
the silver dollar. In the name # ey-
erything that is sane and honest and
polite" asks the New York World,
chow can the Democratic party now do
ANYTHING except make its platform clear
and explicit for sound money: IS With a
silver plank plodgiug the party 70 free
coinage, OF, what would be more detest-
able, an eyasiye platform, read one way
in one section and another way in an
other, no matter who was nominated,
overwhelming defeat would be certain
and sure, and it would be defeat with
little hope Of resurrection, as 1t would
involve lasting division Of the party. -

Recalling a Eefter.

The public is not as familiar with It's
privileges about postal matters as
might be supposed. Many times peo-
pie would like to recall a letter after it
has been mailed. This can be done,
even if the letter had reached the post
office at its destination. At every post
office there are what is called with
drawal blanks" On Application they
will be furnished, and when a deposit
is made to cover the expense, the post
master will telegraph to the postmaster
at the letters destination asking that
it be promptly returned.
In many cases persons have made
remittances to fraudulent parties Or
irresponsible firms, not learning their
true character until after the letter had
gone, and have succeeded in recalling
them. There is an instance where a
Kansas City merchant had RENTED a
dishonest travelling man a draft for
$175, and by means of a Withdrawal
rescued the draft just il time.-Kenia

EDITOR MERIDIoNaL:
| have noticed in the recent publish
ment of the proceedings of our town
council that instead OF printing in de-
tail as other public bodies are wont
to do, the entire expenditures made by
them that they (the town counciI) take
it upon themselves to furnish them to
the public IN a lump, same as easily
understood as Greek to the ordinary
reader. Now, / have no doubt that
the money is properly and judiciously
expended but still it is the duty of this
body to place before the taxpayers of
this corporation their proceedings so
as any one may know exactly how
each dollar is expended.
