swing to her desire to help and enoour-
age the sick and needy-opportunitie she
was always eager to grasp. Rev. Smith
also spoke Of the splendid attributes Of his
dead friend. He had known Mr.. and
Mrs. Miller for years, and he paid last
glowing tribute to the worthy life now
gone from earth forever.
At the conclusion of the servise the
flower-covered casket was tenderly car.

cortege slowly wended it's way to West

not be present at the funeral of his oous-

night:
"Mr. Charles r. Miller-I ind at the
last moment that 1 cannot be present to
show my appreciation of your noble
mother. You and Burt have my sym
pathy. Flowers tonight.

The flowers came: q huge wreath of
| rarest roses and choicest orchids of Nari-
GUS hues. Large, delicately tinted azaleas
were also entwined in the floral circle
which came direct from the White House
oonservatories.
The floral offerings-silent testimonials
of the regard in which the dead had been
held in life--completely filed the room in
which Mrs. Miller lay in her last sleep.
The two sons, Charles II. and Burt A.

community in their bereavement. A

he must mean the money Of final re-
demp ton. Secretary Gage pooh.poohs
the plain intent of Pr sident McKinley's
weak utterances, and would plant the
country thoroughly and permanently
on the gold standard.
The President seems to be making this
Chicago banker the financial oracle of
the administration MIR. Gage seems to
be presiding here. With all due respect,
we remark, Andrew Jackson was not
thus made up.
Yet Secretary Gage In his report ad-
mits the people have preference for a
currency resting upon the credit OF the
government. Recognizing this the sec
retary proposes in his plan that the
national bank notes shall he guaranteed
by tie government, in addition to the
two per cent safety fund. "This," re-
marks the New York sun, ''is giving
away the whole argument in favor OF
bank currency as against government
notes. II the conviction, that the
governments credit is better than the
credit of the banks, is SO deeply rooted
in the public mind that the notes issued
by the bank must be guaranteed by the
government, in order to make them gen
orally acceptable, it is impossible to re
sist the conclusion that the government
may as well itself issue the notes in the
FIRST instance, and enjoy the profits OF
the business instead of turning it over
to the banks and paving them for doing
it, Between government credit and
bank credit, government notes and
bank notes, the people choose the gov.

Congressman Grosvenor, Of Ohio, is
the leader in the present effort in the
House to anuul the civil service law.
A strong effort was made in the same
direction under Harrison's administra-
ton in 1890, and Congressman Mckinley
opposed the movement, thus caustically
remarking: "When this party of ours
has control of all branches of the gov
eminent it is proposed to annul this Law
(civil service law by withholding appro-
priations for lis execution, when for
four years under Democratic admins
tration nobody on this side of the house
had the temerity to rise in his place and
make a motion similar to the one now
pending for the notification OF this
law. We thought it was good then, good
enough for Democratic administra-
ton; and say to my Republican asso.
cates it is good enough for a Republi-
can administration, it is good and whole.

At o'clock Wednesday afternoon the
First M. e. church was again filed with
a large concourse Of people, who gathered
to witness the last scenes to be enacted
about all that was mortal of the late Mrs.
Sarah Burwell Miller. A week ago the
great edifice held surging mass of
humanity when the last sad rites were
performed over the remains Of Mrs. Nancy
Allison Mckinley, an aunt Of the woman
whose pulseless form now lay upon the
bier. The people mourned the loss a
noble woman then; they mourned the
death of noble woman now.
Those who knew Mrs, Miller BEST
know SO we'll the sweetness of her dis
position. During the life of her husband
she stood at his right hand, assisting him
in all his work. She was to him the
soothing, helpful friend and fellow work

The services were conducted by
Rev. e. Manchester. He was assisted
by Rev. Charles W. Smith, editor of the
Pittsburg Christian Advocate. The music
during the service was beautiful and i'm
pressive. Mrs. Miller's favorite hymn,
the restful Jesus, Lover Of My Soul, "
was exquisitely sung by Miss Rachel
Frease, whose sympathetic voice was
heard amid solemn silence. The quar-
tette from Trinity Lutheran church sang
several hymns known to have been favor
ties Of Mrs. Miller, and the Aeolian quar-
tette, which sang at the obsequies of Mrs.
Mckinley, rendered Sullivan's Lost

THE GOLD POLICY

Is gradually coming out as the Mckinley
administration progresses. Secretary
Gage, Of the treasury department, de-
clared before the house committee OF
ways and means last week, that his pur
pose was ito commit the country more
thoroughly to the gold standard" and
hence he proposes that the government
shall fund the non-interest bearing debt
into interest bearing gold bonds.
All our bonds now payable in coin are
also to I've made payable in gold. The
cross is to be of gold. The crown Of
thorns the people Of the United States
have been wearing for years is to have
more thorns. Rascality is becoming
more and more audaciOus and bold.
These fellows when in power assume airs
Of righteousness and fix things to rob
more, and so continue their iniquity.
Rearranging the entire public debt as
proposed by Banker Gage, in his bill
will amount to Sl,l3S, 100000. As the
national banks will be allowed to issue
notes to the par value Of the bonds they
could issue 10 that extent, and also
$500, ,OOO, 900 additional of unsecured cir
culation, International banks, therefore,
having a monopoly OF par money, could
issue circulating notes to the extent of
81 ,43s, 600, 600. This is a vast power to
place in the hands of corporations band
ed for ofIense and defense!
This scheme is to put business and
values into their hands and the people
under moneyed oligarchy.
Banking and other corporations can
change bonds, break contracts, ETC., at
their sweet pleasure and it is all right;
but these fellows are ever ready to howl
''repudiation" if the rights of the people
are TO be cared for. The holowness OF
President MeKinley's silver posing may
now be seen, In his message referring to
the international bimetsllic commission,
the President says "Itis to be earnest
ly hoped that their labors may result in
an international agreement which will
bring about the recognition Of both
gold and silver as money OF course
