An old timer remarked today that he
had spent hundreds OF dollars In lltl

live over he would never have suit in
court He said that law suits made
enemies of old friends, and from a
financial standpoint he was of the opin-
ion that 1t would ruin any man. In
proof of his assertion he asked the re
porter If he ever knew of client max
ing any money by going TO law? OF
course we answered in the negative.
"Y es," said President Mckinley to an
impatient applicant for a country post
Office the other day, "there are about 500
cases just as urgent as yours on my desk,

The man who feels he cannot wait for
postOflice appointment at time like
this doesn't deserve the place and will

Spain is as friendless in Europe as a
country can be. She can find no help In

canards manufactured of whole cloth
to brighten the " Washington government
out of standing by the rights which no
other civilized nation on the face OF the
earth would ever dream of compromis-
ing or abating.
The person or persons who have
spent a third of century in one local

that were shed yesterday at the Pitts

the far west are excusabIe. AS rule

The Money of the Constitution.

y
A correspondent writes to us, asking:
what is the money of the Constitu-
tiOn" to which reference so often is
made in these columns in connection
with the scheme of Mr.. Gage and his
Wall street and London associates to
destroy it? The answer is very sim
pie
The American Constitution Cart. /,
sec 81 says: The Congress shall have
power to coin money, regulate the val
ne thereof and of foreign coin, and fix
the standard of weights and meas
ures" Section 10 OF the same article
declares that no State shall make any
thing but gold and silver coin a ten
der in the payment of debts.
The money of the Constitution
is thus described so clearly that there
should not be any doubt about what it
consists of. At this very day. under
The Constitution and the laws OF the
land, ii is competent for the Govern
ment TO pay any of the principal of
! its debt in silver coin of standard
weight and fneness.
Notwithstanding the oppressive and
Illegal action OF two successive admin
istrations. under which the Treasury
has been supported in assuming that
the creditor of the nation has the right
10 say that he will collect his debt only
in gold. if he so chooses, the law gives
the option of paying either in silver or
in gold to the Government If this op-
ton had been exercised by Secretary
Carlisle the run upon the national gold
reserve would have been impossible;
the issue of 1850 000. 600 Cleveland bonds
in time of peace would have been
avoided. and an enormous profit on the
bond transactions. deliberately con-
spired in by persons in national au-
thority, would have been prevented.
The Bank Of France for years has
preserved the parity between silver
and gold by holding and applying the
option to pay out either, and hence has
preserved the currency volume of the
nation from raids by gold or bond
Spectators The option in France has
been used in behalf of the people: in
our country it has been used to pour
millions into the pockets of bond spec
ulators. There is a painful and wide
spread impression in America that this
defiance of national interest and duty
has resulted in the enrichment of GER
tain people whose oaths of office bound
them TO very different course of con-
duct.
The money of the Constitution is

of all debts and taxes. Ii is to restore

France and Germany. there are con-

mind as to the necessity for checking
the growth of American competition
against their productions and manu-
factures in the Orient.
Senator Teller looks upon the recent

The british have a peculiar prediction
for hams and beef and things grown on

fancy price for the American article unless
it can be made to counterfeit the British.
But take that American ham, rub it with
oil, dust il with peameal, and the con-
fiding Englishuan VIII pay the extra
price without so much as murmur. This
performance has aroused the wrath of
the British BaconC Curers' Association, which
employed law yer-ruan to look up the case.
The lawyer exposed the methods OF the
Army and Navy Stores, which had been
selling American ham under an alias. and
it cost the stores fifty-odd pounds. The
News however, does not leave the case
just here, after stating the facts. 1t pen
sively suggests that ham might become
British under the naturalization laws,

nothing of that kind to be found in the
New Testament. 1t may not be gen.
orally known, but one of the strongest
barriers to the spread Of the Christian
religion in some parts of India has been
the belief of the natives that Chris
tianity not only permitted, but en-
couraged, the eating of meat and
drinking of wine, both of which are
forbidden by the Buddhist creed. There
is a good deal of reason II, this, viewed
from the Hindoo side of it. The first
thing the average Englishman does in
India is to go shooting, and the mis-
sionary has not been unknown in the
ranks of hunters, nor has he ceased to
eat meat because the natives were
shocked, or refrained from the use of
wine in the communion service. The
animals is as great a shock TO a Hindoo
as some of the customs of that country
have been to European travellers.
There is really no reason why an
animal should be put to unnecessary
pain because it is not supposed to have
a soul. There is no special evidence of
superior intelligence in the fact that
while the lion or the tiger kills for the
sake of satisfying hunger, we civilized
Anglo Saxons kill off whole tribes
of birds and animals for purposes of
adornment.
Suppose tiger to be civilized, in the
same sense that many so-called civil
lied men are civilized in comparison
with the savage. and he would be even
less agreeable as a neighbor than he is
now. Instead of killing few men, he
would run amuck through whole dis
tricts: instead of devouring his vic
Tins at once, he would take them piece
meal. sporting tiger might be very
good object lesson to a sporting man,
and he could be most demonaic sort
of beast from our point of view, and
still be very kind to his mate and cubs
and great and good leader among
tigers. Civilization does not consist
altogether in development of the brain,
and if we do not look after our Ameri-
can variety of civilization, the future

Blanco and Lee Afieid.

Whether true or not. the report that
field with Marshal Blanco is calculated
to excite added interest in the situa-
ton in Cuba 1t is not at all probable
that a liberty-loving American like
General Lee would lend his military
experience and genius to the cause Of
Spain, and. equally, it is unlikely that
Blanco meditates any extensive mill
tary operations. The fact that he is at
the end of his rope completely is
famous both in Madrid and Washing
ton. His army is whipped and demor-
allied, while that of Gomez is victori-
Gus and triumphant Then, why should
Blanco and Lee take the field together?
Probably the answer might be found
in the dire anxiety of the Administra-
ton and its London partners to prevent
independence without first trying to
induce the Cubans to assume the whole,
or a greater part, of the Spanish Cuban
debt. Sagasta is said to have urged
