is general disposition on the
part Of the unprecedented public to
give the administration credit for
having squeezed S13,ooo,0oo more
out of the reorganization commit
tee than they intended to pay for
the road, and consequently added
that much to the amount the
government will receive. The
sale of the Kansas Pacific railroad
will be postponed until December
Is, and Attorney General McKen-
na asserts very positively that the
administration is in position to
compel the payment for it of a
sufficient sum to meet its indebt-
edness to the government. These
two transactions may not be all
that they ought to be, but they
are so much better than they
were expected to be that the tend
ency is to rejoice that the govern
ment will get out so we'll.

Here Is the Scheme by Which He Grow
Rich Shoeing Horses.


Here Is the scheme by Which he Grew
Rich Shoeing Horses.
II lived at a little crossroads hamlet
which was not even a postoffice, Oh the
line between New York state and Penn
sylyania, said story teller TO Sioux
City Journal reporter. "0f course, there
was blacksmith shop there. In those
days the blacksnith's S trade was noto-
riously good one. All the blacksniths
got rich with their horse, mule and OK
shoeing, and the wagon and the other
repair work which they did. Most of
the blaclSsmiths combined with their
other work wagon repairing and even
wagon making There were very few
big wagon factories in those days, and
a good hand made wagon cost big mon
ey. When they were doing nothing else,
they would make wagons, and when
there was lots of transient work the
wagons had to wait. This state line
shop was busy place. There was no
tavern there, but the blacksmith also
had cider press, and he made the cider
for all the farmers for miles around
But neither this nor the profits of his
shop could account fer the rapid way
in which he accumulated wealth. AS is
well known, apple cider, if allowed to
stand long enough, will become hard, ;"
and after that twill turn into vinegar.
"This cider dealer always had plenty
OF hard cider on hand, but never had
any vinegar for sale The farmers and
others who stopped at his place could
always get drink of hard cider, which
they took out Of a tin dipper at 10 cents
a drink, and the size of the drink was
something which attracted very little
attention Hardly any kind of beverage
is more intoxicating than hard cider. 1t
is a good deal like champagne in one
respect. You can drink great deal of
it one day, and the next day you will
be awfully sick and sorry, and a good
deal drunker than when you went to
bed. Ehe blacksmith required no license
to sell hard cider, and he worked the
game to the limit. His place became
from many miles around in both states
to get their horses shod at his place
Many of them would come home drunk,
and their wives began to protest. They
always had to have some excuse for hav-
ing visited the state line shop, and so
the blacksmith, after supplying them
with few dipperfuls of hard cider,
would take the shoes off their beasts
and put on new ones, whether they
needed it or not. For vhis service he
would charge good round price, while
in many instances it was noticed he
made no charge for the cider.
'But, as is the way Of all flesh, this
blacksmith died one day, and then his
business secrets came out He left an
estate Of over $50, 900, and in the cellar
OF the cider press a great number of
empty whisky barrels were found For
years he had been putting whisky into
his cider and had been setting new
shoes on nearly every horse which came
along, willy nilly. Washington Star.

Methods of the Blind.

The blind man has to depend almost
entirely on the accuracy of his ears to
guide him wherever he may wish to go,
and it is remarkable in what a short
time he becomes familiar with new
locality and fresh surroundings.
Few people are aware of the powers
OF the ear, but the blind, through con-
stant exercise of that organ, are able to
discover objects almost as rapidly as a
seeing person.
For instance, when walking in a per-
feet calm, he can ascertain the proxim-
ity OF objects by the feeling of the at
mosphere upon his face. 1t would seem
at first that the echo given back, were
1T emily from his breathing, might be
sensible to his ear, but it has been as
certained by experiment. that blind
man with his ears stopped can tell when
any large object is close to his face,
even when it approaches so slowly as
not to cause any sensible current of air.
When he is walking along the street,
he can tell whether it is wide or mar
row, whether the houses are high or
low, II any opening which he may be
passing is court closed up at the end
or whether it has an outlet to another
street, and he can tell by the sound OF
his footsteps in what lane, or court. or
square he is.
He goes along boldly, seeming to see
with his ears and to have landmarks in
the air. OF course no blind man likes
to go over new route unattended but
after he has traversed it once he knows
every point of importance to him. -

The whole Cuban question has

AS VIEWED BY A BANKER.
Postal Savings Banks Would Benetit the
People Very Materially.

Postal Savings Banks Would Benefit tile
People Very Materially.
P. E. Brown, president of the
Galesburg national bank of Gales
burg, ILL.,, had the following to
say recently in favor of postal
savings banks;
Yes, | believe in postal saw
ings banks. There is a need i'll
our country---yes, an absolute
necessity---tl1at people should be
taught to make a judicious use of
their earnings, in other words,
taught to save money. This, like
all other education should begin
with the young. The postal sys-
tenn would help in this, as it
would be in the reach of all and
would afford any one, even the
small children au opportunity to
make a beginning at saving some
thing. 1t should be started on a
plan that will gather the waste
money that now never sees bank.
In this way the penny is cared
for until it gets enough added to
it to make a dollar, and from this
it grows until it reaches a Judi
cious inyestment--- d homestead
and loan association, a lot or
a home started, or something to
which the owner attaches a value.
Then this person begins to be-
come something. Here ends our
anarchist and socialist and gov
ernment ownership, which so
many are today advocating and
|of which so many are afraid.
The secret of saving is to make a
beginning. When this beginning
is made then there arrives some
thing better in the individual.
The saving must be used, invest
led, set to work. Out of this
grows the business habit, and out
of this habit the man who
develops and becomes capable of
managing it. Now, it seems to
me as means to this end all
auxiliaries we can advise that are
| Just and honorable should be used.
Doing things is contagious, and
/ if this movement was once uni
versal and became a popular
lnovemsnt all would move more
in that direction and in time
might become a, national charac-
teristic.
mo; it is my opinion banks
and bankers as rule are not
opposed to the postal bank sys-
TEN, and it is my opinion the
system IN time would become an
adjunct Of banking and business,
Just as in church the Sunday
school is a help to the church,
not a competitor. We should
take broad view of these things,
not selfish one. Selfshness
hurts the self in business as well
as in morals. Yes, for one you
may put me down for postal saw
ings banks, and. as / said before,
when the time comes you will find
banks are not, as rule, opposed
TO them, as they will recognize in
them an adjunct of business of
all kinds, and it is dht of increased
business that, banks, grow and

by the Spanlards IN
Cuba is believed to be about the
only thing that can prevent this
course being taken.
Although both Secretary Gage
and President Mckinley are po-
litical partisans they have shown
by naming Prof Pritchett, of
Washington university, St. Louis,
to be superintendent OF the coast
and geodelic survey that when a
man of purely. scientific attain
ments is required they can ignore
politics.
Members of the administration
having grown tired of the cor
stantly reiterated statement that
the negroes were not receiving as
much official recognition as they
got under Harrison, have pre-
pared an official statement show
the number Of negroes appointed
to Office from March 4 to October
Is, during the first year of the
Harrison administration, and the
number appointed during the
same period iii the present year.
The number Of appointments in
1889 was SO, their annual salary
aggregating S75,o9o, while this
year 179 have beef appointed
with salaries aggregating Sl2e,-
800. The number of negroes pro-
NOTED during the same period IN
1889 was 20, with salaries amount
ing to S17,S30, while 125 with
salaries amounting to SS5,74o
have been promoted this year.
The negroes like the whites, can
never hope to get all the offices
they want, but these figures make
it plain that they are getting
more than they got eight years
ago.
The labor unions which pro-
tested against the Marine band
being allowed to go to Chicago
and play at the horse show will
probably not care whether Secre-
tary Long was influenced by par
tisan politics in revoking the
permission given the Marine band
to go to Chicago one day and
reissuing it the next, or not; but
they will get some satisfaction
out of the official announcement
that this is the last time the
Marine band will be allowed to
compete with private organiza-
tions for engagements.
Some innocent persons nsy lose
money by the fraudulent Creek
Indian Nation warrants, about
500, 900 of which have been To-
Gated by government inspectors,
but the U. S. government will not
lose a cent, as none of the fraud
ulent warrants have been paid
and Secretary Bliss says none of
them will be paid, which disposes
of the sensational story about
Uncle Sam having been heavily
caught by the swindlers.
While 1t is the general opinion
in Washington that Ohio will go
the arrival of big
batch of railroad tickets from
Washington to Columbus and re-
turn. which are furnished free to
Ohio republican voters temporari-
#ly residing at the national capital
who do not feel able to pay their
own way, indicates that the re-
publican managers are not suffer-
ing with over-confidence.

charges and counter-charges con-
.nected with the action of the
