THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.

The speech of President Mckinley at
the banquet of the National Association
Of Manufacturers, on Thursday night,
was plain, common sense expression
of his views on national questions, par
tiCularly the currency question. He
stood sguarelv upon the st. LOUIS plat
form, whic, is Opposed to the free
coinage of silver except by international
agreement with the leading commercial
nations of the world" and until such
in agreement is made the gold standard
must prevail, the parity Of our currency
must be maintained, and the nations
obligations must 0e paid in a coin &C
cepted bv all peoples. There is no
questioning The wisdom Of such a policy.
Nothing should ever tempt u.s." SAYS
the president, nothing ever will tempt
us, to scale down the sacred debt Of the
nation through legal technically :.
Nor will we ever consent that the wages
of labor, or its frugal savings, shall be
scaled down, by permitting payment
in dollars Of less value than the dollar
accepted as the best in every enlight-
ened nation OF the earth"
Referring to the difficulties, "neither
few nor slight" that beset the path of
progress, be said, q have no fear for
the future of our beloved country While

necessity that always exists for the

tory of its past is assurance to me, that
this will be as it has always been

BALANCING AN ACCOUNT.
Ono Cent Duo Robert Steel from Pitts
burg Causes Trouble.

Ono Cent Duo Robert Steel from Pitts
burg Causes Trouble.
From the Pittsburg Press: Pitts
burg has lost the stray cent which
caused 60 much trouble in three Of
fees. Robert Steel, to whom the cent
was due, was notified that the city was
indebted to him TO that extent, and
called last Friday and received the
money from Cashier Darlington Of the
treasurer's Office: If Mr.. Steel had not
called and accepted his cent, it Is diff
fcult to imagine what would have been
its future history. 1t would have re-
manned in the city treasury, and no
legal power on earth could have dis
posed Of it. 1t would have always
turned up in balancing the cash. The
only satisfaction that could have been
taken out Of it would have been that
Pittsburg had a surplus or reserve
which could never have been drawn
upon. The stray cent resulted from a
little error in the comptroller's Office,
but 1t has demonstrated the thorough
ness or the system OF accounts kept by
the city. 1t occurred in making out
certificate for Robert Steel. The city
was indebted to Mr.. Steel to the extent
of $2.47. The stub OF the certificate
was made out for s2.47, but the GER
;ificate was for only S246, the one cent
having been dropped by mistake. The
certificate was sent to the mayors Of
flee, where a warrant was issued for
S2.46. Mr.. Steel then signed for the
warrant, and had it cashed for S2.46
When the warrant reached the treas
urer's Office the trouble began. In bal
ancing the accounts it was discovered
that the city had one cent more than
1t was seemingly entitled to. CITY
Treasurer Terrence was determined to
solve the mystery. and by reference 10
the certificate and warrant stubs and
the warrants paid it was found that
the cent was due Mr.. Steel Then the
certificate was corrected in the comp
troller's Office and the warrant was cor
rected in the mayors Office. Clerk
Richards in the treasurer's Office went
to work on the book known as the &C
count current. After searching he
found that about fifteen large pages
contained entries OF warrants paid
since the presentation Of that made
out By Mr.. Steel He did not like to
mar the appearance Of his neatly kept
| book, but that one cent had to be
! Strengthened out. The totals of fifteen
| pages had to be corrected. He COM
menced, and in some lines he found
two or three figure mines. In adding
| the one cent it required a change OF
| three or four figures, and, of course,
| all Of the totals had to be changed.
| That cent, if It's value was based upon
| the time required to find its owner.
and to correct the entries in the va
rious books in the three principal CT
| fees OF the city, together with the
! trouble to Mr.. Steel, is certainly above
| par.

Our Fire Hall.

Like Peck's Bad Boy, our new fire
engine full of new rivets and patches
commemorative of unpleasant memo
ries. have a penchant for bobbing up
once in a while Just to let the people
know that they are alive and kicking.
The new hall with the old bricks in it
does not seem to materialIze as quickly
as Architect Chisholm would like, and,
We fancy, come other people who have
been living in a horse stable for some
time. Before it was the bricks were at
fault, now it is the flooring. which, II
seems, must be of high grade of GeOr-
gia pine, the Wisconsin or Minnesota
woods not being able to produce pro-
duct good enough. True, some pine
did come, but 1t was not good enough,
and a second consignment is being
awaited. When it will come and when
known. 1t was to have been completed
by the first of the year, then by the first
of February, Low no one knows when.
For this reason the architect advised
that the contract be re-let. This brought
out the remark from Aid. Lund that
1--WE have no contract at all. We viii
ind it out. This will bring on more tax
suits than we think" Thus the plot,
80 to speak, thickens. AS for the at
tempted bribery, there could be no
bribery if there was no contract, or a
mutually violated contract, which is
much the same thing. Thus, as We pre-
dictcd, tue bribery committee was only
part of the farce, and the five dollar
bIll will come forth from Mr.. Hughes
safe in the near future.
As for the fire engine, the position of
the council with regard TO it is about
the same as its position with regard to
the fire hall. 1t is badly compromised.
1t has paid its doctors money on ac-
count, and it will have to pay the rest,
even though the engine is unfit tor use.
From first to last this firehail and fire.
engine business has been bun.led, and
the end is not yet.

a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
