Secretary of the Treasury Gage
has come to the assistance of Wall
street banks, by agreeing to pur-
chase 1000, 900 worth of high
priced bonds not due and payable
with high premium. Banks had
been clamoring for money for some
time, on account OF a scarcity
caused by moving the crops of the
South and West. OF course Nc
Kinley's secretary of the treasury
had to do Just what they wanted, as
the banks and trusts are his pets.
Right thing to have done would
have been to pay off that amount of
the bends past due-but as the
banks were holding this as basis
for their circulation it interferred
with their private soft snap, hence
the action taken. The American
voters should remember all this.

It is learned by a Washington
correspondent that Third Assis-
tant Post-master-General Madden,
in his annual report, recommends
that the rate on fourth class mail
matter be reduced from one cent to
half cent an ounce, and an in
crease in the limit of weight of
package from four to six pounds.
The reduction in tariff, he says,
would entail a temporary loss OF
revenue, but the apparent deficit
would be more than eXtinguished
by an increased volume of business
and would obviate the existing
difficulties in classification for both
the patrons Of the mails and the
postal employees,

A New York woman has gone into
reform in a novel way. She thinks
the way pies are now made is a dis.
grace to civilization and she pro
poses to give Americans real pie
the kind your mother used to make.
The intention is all right, but the
fact is, when a man gets old enough
to talk about the pies his mother
used to make, he has lost the appe.
tite he had in his youth, aud that
was what made the od-Gashioned
pies taste good Pies will never

Mistaken in the Man.

Yesterday morning when we
came down, we met a gentleman
on the sidewalk with 'lambricated
jaws i. e. side whiskers, a la Gen.
eral Otis. We at first thought it
was Otis, but on getting closer, saw
it was our handsome and highly
valued friend, Mr.. G. T. Mcclure,
who furnishes the Texarkanian
weekly letter under the nom de
plume of "Once a Week" When we
told the gentleman that his whis-
kers set of his honest looking cOun-
tenance, and that nothing was too
good or becoming for a Texarkah-
ian correspondent, he felt easier
and loosened up his tongue and
grew confidential. He said he had
dressed himself up to accompany a
charming lady to Shreveport, but
just before he got on the train, the
Gate City route of course, be was
summoned to stay here and he
had to postpone his trip until
another day.

He Was Mad.

We saw a drummer step out of
one of our leading hotels this morn
ing. He was talking in cuss words
which can only be expressed in
dashes and dots in the public print.
We gathered from his talk that he
had left a call for an early morning
train, and failing to get up at the
call-if he was called-which he
said he was uot-missed his train.
He said between adjeCtives that
he would build a -- hotel here

To meet that requirement Therefore In
