his experience with the white caps. He

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Shall the Banks. or the Government
Issue the Money?

Secretary Gage says the banks are
better security for the issue OF paper
money than the government. Recent
ly Chestnut street Bank in Phila-
delphia failed for nearly million
dollars, its entire assets squandered
living, its total assets being it's office
furniture, which would be its only
security for its outstanding bills un
der the Gage plan. And to come
nearer home we have an example and
illustration of the absurdity of the
safety to bill holders under the Gage
and Mckinley plan. TheFirst Nation
al Bank of DEBORAH, which should,
and would have been closed three
years ago, but from the fact that the
bank officers and the examiner. were
in collision to rob and defraud the
people who had entrusted their mon
ey to the keeping of the bank, which
failed without having dollar of as
sets for the security of bill holders.
That the bills of these banks are
good, is not because of any RESPONSE
bility of the bank officers, but be
cause the very security that Secre--
tary Gage would dispense wit
that of the people, through their
government, is responsible for its re-
demprion. Rnt few days since some
of the bills of the DEBORAH bank were
paid to us by customer who had not
observed their issue, and when we
called his attention to the fact that
he had given us the bills of failed
bank, he seemed quite concerned, un-
til we explained to him that the bills
were good, not because of any re-
sponsibility of the bank but because
the government, that is the dear
people,, were responsible for their
redemption.
The President and his Secretary of
the treasury would turn the public
over to the tender mercies of such
ghouls as the jim Eastons, the Sim
gerleys of the collapsed Chestnut
street bank and to such imbecils as
the cashier of the New York Chemi-
cal bank. From all such, good lord
deliver us.

The Soldiers and Bonds.

In the attack upon the pension
system lately inaugurated by the
Commissioner of Pensions, great
stress is laid upon the fact that 81
100000, 900 has been paid out to pen
sioners since 1862. There were two
things needed to preserve the Union
when the war of secession was inaug-
urated-these were men and money.
The men came, to the number of g.
500,000,000 and the Government issued
money to the amount of $4,000,000,-
900. The money, after it became GER
tain that the Union would be pre-
served, was exchanged by the hold
ers for bonds bearing interest. The
money was only worth 40 cents on
the dollar in gold, but bonds were
given for it at a par to the:amount of
nearly S3,OOO,OO0,0 The soldiers
were paid in paper, and all this 3d.
600, 1000, 900 for pensions has been paid
in paper. The interest on these bonds
already amounted to $2,sO0,O0O, 900,
and every dollar of it was paid in
gold, and at one time dollar
of this interest gold would buy $3.50
of the pensioners paper. Why not
raise row about this interest money?

for interest has gone into the Golfers

made potent lever to Cypress the
poor and to depress the prices Of
farm products and of manufactured

country was nearly every dollar of it

year notes, bearing small rate of
interest. and made legal tender for
all purposes but duties on imports
and interest on the public debt were
issued and paid to the soldiers in pay
ment of their services. Had these
notes been made full legal tender as
they should have been, the govern
ment could have taken up every dol
lar of them in the three years for
custom dues and for internal reve-
nue. without issuing dollar of inter
est bearing bonds, which would have
saved to the people the $4,000, 0O0,.

HARD FATE For DOGS.
Two Hundred and Seventy of Then
Are being Trained for Iklondike.
(Copyright, 1871

copyright, 1871
At Point Breeze, just outside of the
limits Of Philadelphia, at bend of the
Schuylkill river that is found by every
breath of winter, 270 dogs are being
trained to draw large sledges in the
Klondike. They will be shipped there
as early ~ possible next spring, and II
Is intended they shall form line from,
the gold fields to some point on the
coast not yet determined.
1t has been ascertained that the sup
ply of Esquimaux dogs, dogs obtain
able on the way to or in the Klondike
regions, is altogether insufficient to
meet the demand. This fact is what
has caused the curious spectacle that
may be seen any day at Point Breeze.
Their quarters, when the dogs are not
being driven, are some windowless
sheds-windowles because there are
only openings where the windows used
to be, and the cold and storm come in
as they please without effort being
made to stop them. This is for the
purpose OF hardening the dogs, and ap-

food consists largely Of horsemeat, on
the theory that it should make them
tough, hardy and strong, and accus-
tom them to the diet that is likely to
be theirs during their trips to and from
the gold fields.
The dogs are driven in teams Of FIVE,
three wheelers and two leaders, 30
called even if they are intended to
draw sledges. just at present, how
ever, the sledge consists of box
mounted on wheels, which the animals
draw over and upon disused railway
track. Perhaps they may encounter
something in their Klondike travels in
the way of rough travelling that will
be more wearing on them than this,
but it is very doubtful.
1t is arduous work for Mr.. Wheatley,
the trainer, but he is confident that by
the time spring comes he will have
every dog thoroughly used to harness,
to travelling under most unpleasant
conditions, and subsisting upon raw
meat, fish, or whatever he is SO for
tunate as to be able to get in the way
OF food. In this condition the dogs will
prove very valuable in the land where
they are going.

euLLEr GUT OUT OF HIS SPINE.
After Twenty-Three Years Missouri.
an HopeS to Recover Use of Legs.

| After Twenty-Three Years q Missouri-
| an Hopes to Recover Use of Legs.
Upon his ability to move the big toe
of his left foot when his left leg was
crossed over the right hang the hopes
| of physicians that Eugene Ewing, of
Lexington, Mo-, will recover from par
| alysis. Ewing was shot under the left
shoulder, just behind the arm, % years
ago. The bullet lodged between the
eighth and ninth dorsal vertebrate and
was almost wholly imbedded in the
spinal column, causing paralysis of all
the extremities below it. On account
of nerve degeneration produced by in
fammation from the pressure of the
bullet on the spinal cord he has been
nearly blind in both eyes for years and
the nerves in the parts of his body not
paralyzed were affected.
He was operated on at St. Joseph's
hospital, Kansas City, Mo-, by DR..
George HALEY, in the presence of Drs.
Wilson, Prick, Landon and Scott and
Judge Young, of Lexington. Ewing
was under the effects of chloroform.
DR.. HALEY made an incision two inches
long over the bullet and when it was
reached had to cut away the bone
around it. The operation required
about 80 minutes, land half an hour
later Ewing had recovered sufficiently
for the surgeons to leave him in care
OF DR.. Mckinney, the house surgeon.
He recovered from the effects of the
chloroform about IL o'clock, since which
time his condition has been surprising
ly good.
The doctors say that should the nerves
below the location of the bullet have
not been entirely absorbed the relief
from the pressure will produce at least
partial and perhaps complete recovery
from the paralysis. Because Ewing was
able to move the big toe of his left foot
just before the operation they are con-
fident the nerves have not been en-
tirely destroyed.
Ewing was first operated on 20 years
ago by 10 surgeons, of whom DIR. Hal
ley was one, and an incision II inches
long was made in his back, but without
success, as it was started about one
inch below the bullet. He came to Kan
sas City about two months ago and DR..
j. N. Scott took an X-ray picture of his
back, marking the exact location of the
bullet carefully. His recovery will be
slow and it probably will be some time
before beneficial results can be noticed.
