Currency Reform.

There are various propositions to reform
Me monetary system Of the country and
lake the treasury out of the banking busi-
ness In other words the intention is to
abolish the present system which has
given general satisfaction and adopt one
against the present system remind us of a
man who after suffering for sometime with
sore finger, took an axe and cut off his
hand in order to get rid OF it. The scheme
to issue bonds to redeem the $3.50 900, 600 in
greenbacks at cost Of some millions in
interest is Just about as sensible. Our adj
vice Is to let we'll enough alone or at least
to avoid all radical changes. The indus
tries Of the country were not injured by
the monetary system, but by the repeal Of
The Mckinley tariff. Under the Wilson
bill there was idleness and stagnation of
trade and poverty. On the enactment of
The Dinglsy tariff, there was an immediate
Improvement in business and the pros
peCt fayors increased prosperity, notwith-
standing the complaints about the curren-
" and the lamentations Of disgruntled
Democrats over the formation of trusts
10 put up prices and rob the laborlng class
We advise all to possess their souls In pa
tience, and they will soon find that under
the present system Of doing business our
country will prosper as it has never pros.
pered in its past history.
MAYOR q G. Thomas, who furnished
the bottle Of 45 year old whisky to Miss
Hattie Bainbridge Richardson, with which
he expected her to christen the battleship
Kentucky, but which Secretary Herbert
and ex- President Cleveland took care of. is
receiving letters from all over the country
In which the writer's ask him to perseyere
in his attempts to get the bottle back. A
gentleman writing from the Treasury De-
partmcnt at Washington, D. c., aud who
calls himself a chemist, asks the Mayor to
send him quart of the old whisky for
chemical analysis Sin the interest of SCI
ence." Mayor Thomas replies that he
does not want an analysis of his old wills
ky and another bottle of it will never go
out of his house unless another young lady
as beautiful as Miss Richardson were to
ask him for it, then he will give up quar-
quick, but not to Chemists to analyza
tho whisky. He then extended hearty
welcome to his home and says his old side
board has plenty Of old whisky OH It,
There Is mineral well on tho farm and
the water is said to contain five grains of
bromide per gallon. Let me send to you
barrel Of this water and after you find
that it really docs have such strong i'm

tor Blackburn and he can tell his co-Sen-
ators, whose heads are swollen on Mon
days and by administering this water to
them. they will be greatly benefited. The
