Steubenyille, o.. June 2S.--Brown's
Island has been the scene of several
disasters to coal fleets within the past
"a hours, all due to the sinking OF the
coaiboat by the Acorn and barge by
another boat below Wing Dam yester-
day. The Joseph Williams sunk a
boat and the Frank Gilmore sank three
barges and two coalboats and ground
ed coal boat. She has gone down
with the balance. The John w. Ailes
on her way down this morning, came
on the wrecked coal barges and to
saye her fleet from being wrecked ran
them aground at the head of the is
land, where they can be got off when
coal boat past the sunken boats this
morning the Allies grounded the boat,
and this afternoon a large force of men
are at work Tightening it. =
The Dauntless, Adele and Relief are
above the wrecks with their tows,
which they are getting past by double
tripping and are making up tows at
Cables Eddy. The Captains of the
boats wrecked last night are censuring
the officers of the boats sinking the
first boats for not sending word above
to notify them of the danger. The
Tornado this morning tore out the
boat sunk by the Acorn.
Captain McCluskey, who has just re-
turned tonight from Browns Island,
reports number of Pittsburg coal
men down on the Little Dick to view
the damage. The Allies will have the
boat stuck on Hooker's Dam off tonight.
One sunken coal boat of the Gilmore is
a total loss. The Gilmore will be back
up tonight to take down the boats be-
longing to the Allies which are not on
the bar. The Dauptless is through
with part of her tow. The Tornado,
j. c. Risher, G. w. Murdoch and Nell
lie Walton, assisted by the Maggie, are
through. The Tom Reese and Hawk
have each gone down with parts OF the
Reese tow, leaving the coal boats bove
The tearing out of the sunken Acorn
coal boats by the Tornado is what
opened navigation for double tripping.

ANOTHER OHIO PRESIDENTS

General Garfield used to account for
the great prominence of Ohio men in
public life in his time by saying that
on the soil of Ohio met and mingled
the two best strains of American blood,
the Virginia strain and the New Eng
land strain. All signs in the political
sky now point to the election of Nc
Kinley in Novem Der, and we may well
ask ourselves, What sort of Presi-
dent is this fifth son of Ohio, in the list
of twenty-four occupants of the White
House, likely to make? The question
is not an enigma. The man has been
eighteen years in national politics. and
for much of the time a conspicuous fig
nre; his character is an open book, and
his convictions on public issues are on
record and may be read by all men.
We may expect from him a conserva-
tive, pure administration. l believe
that it will be sturdily American in it's
policy, for Mckinley comes from our
great mid-continental plain and is not,
like many men who live upon the At
lantic rim of the country, largely in
fiuenced by European thought and ex-
ample. Its dominant ideas will be
protection and sound money. McKin-
ley will unquestionably use the in
fuence of his position to restore to our
tariff statutes the principle of ample,
scientific, and symmetrical protective
duties. He will oppose all efforts to
detach the money of the coun try from
the present standard in use by all the
great civilized, commercial nations of
the world, whether by the issue of ir-
redeemable paper or by giving to an
unlimited quantity of silver legisla-
tive fat value greater than it's actual
value as metal He will not, / am
confident, aim to make one-man pow
er of the administration. Having ap-
pointed a strong cabinet, made up of
representative men of his party he will
distribute the duties and responsible
ties of government among them, as
contemplated by the Constitution, and
hold each minister accounta BILE for the
work of his own department. He will
be accessible to all men who haye le-
gitimate business with the Chief Mag
istrate, and he will carry to the high
est station in the land the courtesy
and dignity which he has unfailingly
displayed as Congressman and a gov
ernor. He will be harmonizer for his
party, for he has none of the domi-
neering temper and stubborn egotism
that breed political strife and create
personal antagonisms. Among the
early Presidents his prototype will be
Madison and he will most resemble
Hayes among our later Presidents He
comes from the great, sturdy, inde-
pendent, moral, and earnest American
middle class that forms the solid basis
of our whole political and social
fabric, Il Review of Reviews for July.

The banana is said to be the most
perfect fruit that grows in that it
alone will sustain life an indefinite
length of time. 1t is an educated taste
with adults to relish the banana, and
it's popularity in this country is large
ly due to the fact that children take to
it naturally. 1t is cheap, healthy and
abundant Some recent figures show
its consumption in the United States
has reached enormous proportions
amounting to II, 427, s46 punches. Many
of these went to southern ports, New
Orleans taking 5,725, 1886 buuches, and
Mobile 2,496, 13S; but New York took
4,557,674. The amount is increasing
steadily year by year, and thus one OF
the most benefcent products of the
tropics is becoming more and more ex-
tensively nsed in the north.

Gold the Currency for American Work
ingmen.

ingmen.
That the American workingmau,
therefore, should desire the esta blish-
ment of the least variable standard of
currency seems to be the plainest prop
osition of common sense. The dollar
paid to him in wages should be equal
in purchasing power at all times and
everywhere to that paid to the owner
of bond. A days labor is the same
in physical exhau stion whether the
compensation for it is in dollars worth
fifty cents or in dollars worth one hun
dred cents. What is more importa MT,
therefore, to the la borer than that the
money standard of his wages shall be
as fixed as the labor for which those
wages are paid?
When there are two kinds of money,
one cheaper than the other, capital
will always endeavor to pay labor in
the poorer currency, and to secure its
own profits in the better In addition
to that, the laborer, under the silver
regime, would be forever at the mercy
of the market manipulators in ex-
change rates, and every disaster that
occurred to depress industry would
drive down the price of silver and force
up the price of gold. The laborer, how
ever, cannot hold his silver money un-
til the market takes an upward turn
for that metal. Unlike the rich man,
the laborer, having but little money,
must pay as he goes. He must part
with his wages for the necessities OF
| life. When the market price of silver
is down, he gets SO much less for his
money. In which currency, therefore,
should labor, from any standpoint OF
common sense, desire to be paid?
Gold in all history has been the one
universally accepted medium of inter
national exchange. Until there is some
agreement among the countries OF
the earth for international bimetallism,
gold will remain the standard money
of the nations. Labor, accordingly,
should not be satisfied unless the re.
ward of toll is paid in dollars that
everywhere pass current at one hun
dred cents apiece. The American
workingman should ponder the fact
that poor money is the poorest agency
in making poor people rich.--[ North

connection with the Identification OF

We haye read of several people who

first business failure because of it that
