One of Grants Victories.

One of General Grants greatest vic
tories was not won in war, but in times
of profound peace. On April %, 1874,
he vetoed an imitation bill which had
passed both houses of congress, by de-
eided majorities, and back of which
were many eminent Republican poll
ticians who imagined that they saw
sure defeat ahead for their party unless
they made concessions to those clalnor-
ing for ''more money" The pressure
for the bill was not all political. Many
timid business men urged the president
to sign the bill in order to ''stOp agita-
tion." In this trying situation President
Grant showed patriotism wholly above
par tisanship and clear conception of
sound financial principles, unobscured
by shortsighted notions Of immediate
business expediency.
He vetoed the bill because in theory
it would produce initiation. "The theo-
ry, !" he declared, lin my belief is de-
parture from the true principles of
finance, national interest, national obi
cations to creditors, congressional prom
Use, party pledges on the part of both
political parties and Of personal views
and promises made by me in every an
nual message sent to congress and in
each inaugural address.
So far from being settlement"
the bill invited agitation. Should
it fail to create the abundance of
circulation expected of it, the friends
of the measure, particularly those out
of congress, would clamor for such
inAation as would give the expect
ed relief = And he defined his general
principle in these pregnant words, /
am not believer in any artificial meth
cd of making paper money equal to
coin when the coin is not owned or
held ready to redeem the promises to
pay, for paper money is nothing more
than promise to pay and is valuable eI-
actly i'll proportion to the amount of
coin that it can be converted into. +"
The monetary battles of this country
are not yet all fought. Grants words
and acts should inspire those engaged in
the present struggle.

Using as a nucleus for his investigation
ghe rumor that the life of the daughter of
Frank B. Trout, well known in Detroit,
Mich, real estate circles, had been saved, a
reporter called on Mr.. Trout at his office,
LOB Griswold Avenue. Mr.. Trout showed
some hesitancy in giving his opinion for
publication. but finally said Circum-
stances and fathers love for his child
forced me to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale PEOPLE but not until the whole medical
profession had exhausted their skill. AT
Ehe age of fourteen we had to take our
daughter from school owing to her health.
Before this she had been i'll the best of
health. happy and in the best of spirits. She
began to fall away and became pale and
anguid. She was so weak that she would
fall down in a faint every time she tried to
walk unsupported. The best of physicians
attended her. but she continued to grow
weaker and seemed to be gradually fading
away.
when she was fifteen she weighed only
ninety pounds. and the doctors said it was
anamia Several physicians said she might
outgrow it, but that it would no doubt ter
inmate in consumption. No doctor we had
could help her, and we concluded ourselves,
we must lose our child as she was growing
weaker every day.
''We had tried all the well-knOwn reme-
dies. and finally about a year ago | bought
a box Of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
PEOPLE and took them home. That day /
had read of a case about the same as my
daughters, and decided to give them a
trial though I must confess l did not
have much faith. Before she had taken all
of the first box we noticed a change for the
better. She, however. gained strength daily

ELECTRIC ROAD PLANS.
Threatens to Go West of Kenosha If It
Can't Go Through.

An official of the Milwaukee, Racine
& Kenosha electric street railway com
pany has the following to say concern
ing the company's plans:
We have completed the subway at
South Milwaukee and are ready to
operate a through line, but the Mil
waukee people are not yet in shape to
meet us. They are working on a
schedule and we hope to run through
cars between Racine and Milwaukee
on Sunday next and give the people
the best electric car service in the
country. Just as soon as the through
line between the two cities is estab-
lished and running smoothly we will
commence building the tracks between
Racine and KenOsha. The line be-
tween the last two named cities will
follow along the east side Of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad tracks
to a point near the PennOyer Sanitar-
ium and there stop for time, until
the Kenosha citizens decide whether
they will allow us to lay our tracks
upon the streets of that city. If they
positively refuse we expect to run west
on one Of the highways near the sani-
tarium, and go around the western
part of the town and lay the tracks to
the state line,o

New odors For Flowers.

It is fad in Paris to perfume
flowers artificially. Experiment has
proved that it is possible not only to
take away the natural odor Of a
flower, but also to make it yield a
perfume derived from some other
vegetable product. Some violets, for
example, are perfect in form and
coloring, but without fragrance,
while others, very insignificant to
look at, emit delicious fragrance.
The transfer Cf the odor from one
species to the other has been accom-
plished. Those who have been most
successful in this branch of horti-
culture refuse to tell their secret. 1t
is said that the African marigold
has been robbed of its disagreeable
odor and endowed with perfume
that makes it much sought. The
fad has been carried to the extreme
of giving to the sunfower the odor
of the rose and to the chrysanthe-
mum that of the olet.-New York

FOUGHT BY 1NsTALLMENTs.
TWO Men Pull of Bout IN a style of
Their own


A couple of obscure scrappers had a
go here Wednesday evening. They
may have meant to do it up in proper
ring fashion with all the usual appurte-
nances of ring, gloves, seconds, etc,
but when the vital moment came both
parties were far to ready for the fray
to wait for any of the above mentioned
paraphernalia and went in with bare
fists, feet and teeth. They fought by
installments, the first one taking place
on certain dock down by the river.
The science used in the affair was that
of an extinct age. After the princi-
pals had got warmed to their work and
cheWed each others ears and noses a
little they were suddenly interrupted
and the scene of the fight was shifted
to a saloon on the North side. Here
the bout was resumed with renewed
vigor. They went at it tooth and nail,
tearing out hair and doing the thing up
in genuine cat like manner. 1t soon
became necessary to transfer activities
to still another place. Here a conclu-
sion was reached. Both parties agreed
to give up the fight until another time.
Both were exhausted and bore only
few signs by which their best friends
might recognize them. They were
both torn and bleeding and much hair
was conspicuous by it's absence. They
will probably be heard from later.

Our Monetary Disease.

To safely and permanently maintain
the gold standard requires the remod-
cling of our finances. The disease is the
character of the money in the treasury
and in the pockets of the people. It is
in banking system which congests cur
rency in commercial centers while Gre
ating a dearth in country districts,
which issues a currency which cannot
expand when it ought and can when
there is no necessity. It is in compel
ling the maintenance of 500, 900, 900
gold reserve to float a vast volume Of
paper money by the government, which
cannot regulate its issues to meet the
needs of commerce.
The disease cannot be cured by any
makeshift. Senator Donelson Gallery.

General Horace Porter describes the
surrender of Lee in his Campaigning
With Grant in The Century. The sur
render took place in the house of vii,
mer Mclean, it will be remembered.
General Porter says: 1t is Il singular
historical coincidence that Mclean!
former home was upon Il Virginia farm
near the battle-ground of the first Bull
Run, and his house was used for 4 time
as the headquarters of General Beaurc.
gard. When it was found that this fight
was so popular that it was given an II
o and u second battle of Bull Run
was fought the ncxt year on the same
ground, Mr.. Mclean became convinced
that the place was altogether lacking in
repose, and, to avoid the active theatel
of war, he removed to the quiet villag,
of Appuniuttox, only to find himself
again surrounded by contcnding armies.
Thus the first and last scenes of the wal
drama in Virginia We're enacted upon
