IMPRESSED BY EMERSON.
How the Sage Of Concord Was Viewed
by an Adlrondacks Guide.
TpOy Times


Thep Emerson was never credited with
being handsome man, though people who
knew him saw in his face his beautiful char
acter, and forgot to discriminate between
him and bis appearance.
Years go, when the philosophers were
in camp at Follensbee Pond, in the Adj
|roDdacks, Emerson was one of the party,
land his devotion to his studies nd worth
Hess writin,'" seemed to several of the
guides great waste of time, which might
better have been spent in hunting and fish
ing. There, was, however, guide,
Steven Martin, who became, perhaps. the
most noted that the Adirondaeks ever pro-
duced, and who recognized in Emerson
something OF bisreal worth, and upon whom
the poet made great Impression.
Steve as he was famiiiarly called,
was an observing man, and the poets physi-
caldefects, then undoubtedly ymoreprominent
than in later years, did not escape bis eye,
as may be seen from the answer lie gave to
the question OF the writer of this para gra phi:
"What kind OF a fellow was Emerson2"
"Wal, sir, said the old guidse, "he was
gentleman. every inch-as nice fellow
as you ever see; pleasant and kind-aud q
scholar, too, alius figurin', studyin' and
writin' but, sir he was, believe, the home
liest critter for his age that ever camesinto

HE contested eIectionn case OF Van
Horn against Tarsney, upon which
three reports were made. and in
which in Unusual interest has been
taken, has caused many on the House side
of the Capitol to recall what is cited as
the ingratitude of William Mckinley when
he was the victim of a Congressional con-
test In the forty-eighth Congress Mr..
Mckinley held the certificate of election,
but his seat was contested because of al
legged irregularities, and given TO Jonathan
II Wallace.
During the discussion attending the con-
clusion OF the contest in the House GER
tain Democratic Incmhcr took issue with
his own party and made an eloquent but
unayailing speech in behalf of Mr.. Nc
Kinley, being the only one of his political
faith who sided with the Republicans. and
voted with them. In the Furty-ninih Con-
gress the same Democrat who had defended
Mckinley on the floor OF the House had
his own seat contested and, as the story
goes, Mr.. Mckinley was chief among those
who took an active part in securing his
removal. =

A Secret Conference Prediction.

The prediction OF Secretary Carlisle,
while in secret conference with the New
York bankers, that a solid gold basis for
our currency would continue to prevail. and
that the siIycritcs would never secure con-
troll of our monetary system, is likely 10
prove disappointing, unless there is
radical change in public sentiment. White
metal advocates are already sufficiently
in control of the Senate to prevent I'm
portant tariff and financial legislation,
and in the next Congress they will probably
be more in evidence as result Of the COM
ing election. In fact. the silyeritcs are
gaining throughout the country, because

Contrary to general expectation the

tanning our national credit, and in the
event OF a financial crisis, would come
to the rescue OF the Treasury, rather than
suffer loss.
There is good reason TO believe that
had President Cleveland announced at the
beginning OF this administration that he
would not sell bonds TIA protect the gold re-
serve, spectators in the yellow metal
would have ceased their gold raids. His
decision would have doubtless temper
arily disturbed the markets, but no pro-
longcd financial trouble would have ensued,
and instead or plunging the country into
a total debt to the amount of $497 900 900,
principal and interest, through the sale
OF bonds, we would now be enjoying an
era OF prosperity.
Under the circumstances it has been i'm
possible to make Congress understand that
the greenbaCks are responsible for the
business depression, but had the admins
traiion stopped the endless chain rob-
berry by refusing to redeem them in gold
the Fifty-third Congress would either have
been compelled to act promptly on the
financial question to save the country
from ruin or the greenback buGaboO would
have been exposed. AS affairs now stand
