THOSE WISE MEN,

executive committee of what is called
the National Sound Money league
have met in NeW York City and dc
clared that the believers in silver
money are fanatics, bisots and
IDIOTS" Looking over the anne Of
this modest, and courteous COM
mittee, we discover no name known
to mankind as that Of a profound
scholar, political economist, OF phil
anthropist. They are names of men
who, as a rule, have become famous (,
in only one field, that OF looking out
particularly for number one. When
such gentlemen meet and in the
name of intelligence aid humanity
PROFOUND a creed. it is natural that
i'll wen guiless hearts the suspicion
should be aroused that possibly their
motives may not all be disinterested,
that possibly the past rule of their
liveS-looking out for number one
may have an unconscious influence
upon them. They are not the class
of men who voluntarily become
trained nurses, or the managers Of
orphan asylums. Had they been
born of the other sex, not one of
them would ever have become a
Sister of Charity. Had their mothers
believed in ~theosophy, those mothers
at an interesting period of their ex-
istence would not have been dream
ing of lambs and doves and night
ingales, but rather Of wolves and
hawks, and possibly of cobras, When
they, then, refer to a class of people
and denominate them all fanatics, BIZ
gots and idiots, members of that class
can take these two facts home to
themselves to comfort them: First,
their accuSerS have never vet earned
the right to pose as critics; and sec
ond, the class includes a full major
ity of the native-born Americans in
the United States; the very class that
creates the wealth of the country,
and which, were trouble to come,
would have the battle of the Republic
to fight. But we are not sorry that
these men have not issued their
solemn ACCOMPLISHMENTS that bimet-
allis1n is dead, and have made their
demand that from the highest source
the declaration shall go forth that
this Republic has formally and ire
vocably adopt the gold standard.
Such a decree, coming from a really
responsible source, would simplify
matters materially. 1t would at
once cause all MEN who believe as
those "patriots and wise men in
New York do to unite on one side,
while all the fanatics, bigots and
idiots would gravitate at once to the
other side, and the issue would be
distinct, and then some of those ia.

PRACTICAL MEN TO THE FRONT.
Mechanics Have Attained 10 Distinguished
Positions in Recent Years.

The master men of Victoria's reign
have been, says the Review of Re-
views, not the politicians and states
men, the soldiers and sailors, the
poets and artists-they have been the
engineers, the shipbuilders, the elec.
tricians, the men who have yoked the
thunderbolts of Jupiter to the hammer
of Vulcan and have usurped the au-
thority of Neptune over the waves, at
the same time they have outstripped
the herald Mercury by the spread of
their dispatches. The steam engine,
the steam ship and the electric wire
have in 90 years effected a more
revolutionary change in the concep-
tions of distance than all the m,llenni
ums that have passed since the stone
age.
When the queen assembled the
throne the United States were six
times farther away than they are to-
day. India was 40 days distant, in
stead Of 16; Australia six months,
instead of six weeks. While this
shrinkage has been made practical
reality for all manner of brute sub
stances, a much more rapid and total
conquest of space and time has been
effected in the exchange of thought
and knowledge. The cables Lave
enabled us to beat the sun, to deliver
messages in London hours by the
clock before they started from India.
To-day all news of Importance IS
practically reported simultaneously all
over the whole world. Our steam
ships bridge every sea, our cables link
every continent, and commerce, that
spider of the planet, is weaving all the
nations Of the world into one vast
web, and the home and nest and
central abode of that spider is the
country and capital of our queen.

Hands Off the Peoples Money,

Those who are anxious to reform
the currency through the agency of a
commission and by goldbug methods
had better let the peoples money
alone. 1t would not be improved by
the tinkering it would get from Wall
street reiormers.
"Taking the government out of the
banking business" is one of the pro-
posed reforms, which means that the
right Of issuing paper money shall be
taken from the government and hand
ed over TO the banks.
The experience Of more than thirty
years has taught the people that they
have lost nothing by allowing the
government to issue circulating notes,
but rather that by SO doing they have
secured the best and safest currency
that was ever circulated in this country.
On the other hand their recollection
of the losses they sustained when the
banks issued al the paper money con-
vinces them that it is best for their
interest that the government should
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1897-08-12

remain in the banking busines, or in
other words should continue the safe
and convenient paper currency known
as greenbacks. With that kind of
money in their pockets the people
never lost dollar from depreciation.
The retirement of the greenbacks
is intended chiefly for the benefit of
banking institutions. Such reform
would cost the people from $Io,ooo,-
900 to SIS 900 year in interest
on the bonds required to sustain the
bank circulation, with no profit except
to the banks. Therefore it is best for
the people that the government. should
continue in the banking business, if
the issuing of paper money constitutes
such business, and the public in
terest be promoted by the currency
thinkers keeping their hands off tine
peoples money.-Et.

A Queer RESCUE.

The passengers on a Tenth street
crolley car, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, were treated to an unusual sight
one morning. AS the car was bowling
along in the vicinity OF Parish street,
couple OF sparrows, one in chase OF
the other, swooped down in front of
the car. The pursued, by a quick flank
movement, eluded its tormentor by
darting under the root OF the front
platform, and before the motorman
knew what was up, the bird had perch
ed on his hand which gripped the lev
or. There it sat contentedly, while the
passengers craned their necks to get a
view Of the odd spectacle. The spar
row didn't seem TO mind the fact that
The motormans hand was constantly
turning around as he manipulated his
lever, and, after riding on its queer
perch for fully block, chirped its

""Most everybody imagines that the

The Indian Is a born humorist
There isn't the slightest doubt Of that
The great trouble is. however, that his
humor runs chiefly to practical jokes.

same time, aud the nAnutc he did so
he let out a'terrifc wGr-whoop, began
tiourishing his tomahawk, and started
for me on a pun. He CHASED me until

then instead OF scalping me as l ma
turally expected he would from his
previous actions, he assisted ME to my
feet, with a broad grin on his face,
and grunted Ugh, Injun only yell for
