broken by the frequent ringing of the

solemnity. From their manner one might

The 1aV Arena.

The arena occupies distinct position
among magazines and is cultivating a
field heretofore almost untouched by the
magazine. The questions on political
economy are being handled by able
writers in mastery and at the same time
popular manner, which places the Arena
among the leading propagandists of the
new school of political economies.
One of the most interesting papers Of
the May number is Justice Walter Clark S
''Land of the MONDAY SUM-" These
papers by Justice Clark on Mexico are a
revelation to the readers of the arena
on the wonderland which lies ON our
southern border.
Frank Parsons papers on the telegraph
monopoly are invaluable at this time in
exposing such gigantic abuse and inl-
position on the public.
The barefoot boy who was a dreamer,
is another of the instructive papers, by
the editor, B. o. Flower
Why the West needs free coinage, by
S. Thomas, is particularly acceptable
article at this time. The arena stands
on the advanced line of popular thought,
and has left behind it the magazine of
quarter of a century ago, which is now in
the scar and yellow leaf The old time
light literature is behind the needs of the
times. The arena is the foremost ex-
ponent of intelligent thought.

The charity fund which is given out
of the State treasury to old party papers
for stopping over during the political CAM
paign, ostensibly for publishing certain
laws, has been distributed between the
Democrat and Nez0s, these two papers
being adjudged papers in good stand
ing according to democratic tradition.
That half of the pie, $500, which is dis
tributed TO the republican horn blowers
was all given to the Appeal, leaving the
Wing without crumb. 1t isn't often
the Whig gets left when there is pie to be
served, but last fall as the devil and good
luck would have it the appeal struck for
Lowndes, the goldbug of the bugs, and the
Wing chose Master who was more nearly
the working mans candidate. Had
Malster won it would have been a big
strike, but he lost and the Whtgl got the
BOBBY prize. The Wing considers such
conduct all outrage on party usage. And
to be dubbed by the republican ringsters
as paper in bad standing in the party is
piece of ingratitude sharper than a
serpent's tooth. It's a case of the lean
kline eating up the fat COW.

Road Mending.

MR.. EDITOR Now that the road
mender is out with his forces one may
easily see how thousands of dollars are
annually taken out ofthe pockets of those
who pay the taxes, and the roads in
places left i'll a worse condition than be-
fore the social road intending.
The road member of to-day follows in
the footsteps of his ancestors and proceeds
to plough up the sides of the road and
throw clods and tussocks into the centre,
and where tile cutters are already too
deep force is set to work with shovels,
and if pike road, bed of mud is made
to be driven through in wet weather and
in the spring of the year. These cutters
are in some instances deep enough to
overturn a vehicle, and may result in
accidents that will cost the county hun
dreds of dollars in actions for damages.
Our present road law should be changed
so that none but competent persons should
have the repair of our roads in charge.

The Goldbug System.

Goldbugism outlaws commonsense and
human reason. The government issues a
bond for 100000 bearing 4 per cent
interest. A bank gets possession OF it.,
deposits it in the United States treasury
as security; draws $4,000 a year interest
and receives from the government
SEQ 900 in national bank notes, which are
in turn loaned out to the people for inter
est, as money.
This is what the goldbug calls good"
money, Sound money. Banknote
money is based on the bonds and the
bonds are based on the credit of the gov
ernment The same government, in place
of issuing bonds bearing interest issues
legal tender notes bearing no interest,
based OH its credit as the bonds are, and
the goldbug calls that dangerous"
money, dishonest" money. Don't You
see the trick as we'll as the lie? The
national bank draws interest on its capital
which is invested in bonds, and interest
on the notes which the government fur
nishes the bank. On account of the
credit the government has given the bank
the people are induced to deposit their
money with it. The bank loans three
fourths of this money it holds on deposit
and draws interest on the money it owes
its depositors. And this is called Sound"
money and sound fnanciering by the
goldbugs
The entire system is rotten fraud
from top to bottom, and is running every
honest business and every honest man in
the country.

this we would add always keep a bottle
