"If Dirt Was Trumps.'

Cleanliness is next to godliness," and
this applies with considerable force to
the hands of the players at the whist
table. A writer in an old magazine tells
a story to the effect that Charles Lamb.
noticing Hazlitt's soiled hands when
playing with him, dryly observed: III
dirt was trumps, what hands you would
hold
Courtney, in his English Whist and
Whist Players" alludes to the story,
but puts Martin Burney in the place
of Hazlitt, and makes a relative of the
latter declare that Lamb never origin
ated the joke, but that it was made
by a gentleman who never told sec
ond witticism in the whole course Of his
life, and who thought it a little hard
to be robbed of this unique achieve

THE LOCAL TRAIN.
Talk OF Having It Leave Here as
Late as 4 O'clock P. M.

It is the present intention Of the rail-
road company to soon change the hour
Of leaving Of the afternoon local train
for San Francisco from 2 o'clock to
4:O5.
This would be a great inconvenience
to Sacramentans, who have been able,
under the present conditions, to reach
San Francisco early enough in the
evening to call on friends or attend the
theaters or other places of amusement,
which they cannot do if the train
leaves here at or about 4 O'Clock, as
the local train consumes nearly four
hours between here and San Fran
cisco.
1t is said that the company will be
petitioned to make no change that will
land Sacramento passengers in San
Francisco later than or 6:30 o'clock

GOLD PAPER.
The Treasury Printing T1O,OOO,OOO in
Gold Certificates.

The Treasury Printing %1O.OOO,OOO in
Gold Certificates.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-The treas
ury department today made requisition
upon the bureau of engraving and print
ing for the printing of $10,O0O,0OO of
gold certificates in denomination of $40
each. The treasurer now holds large
unissued supply of certificates of the
large denominations. 1t is the evident
intention of the treasury department to
be in position to issue gold certificates
freely for gold coin, should the fall
movement of currency lead to demand
at the treasury for gold certificates in
exchange for gold coin. 1t is to be
noted that while gold coins can be
freely had in denominations of fives
and tens, the law restricts the issue of
gold certificates to denominations of
$40 or multiples thereof. 1t is debat-
able question, therefore, whether gold
certificates will adequately meet the de-
mand for money Of small denomina-
tiOns.

PROSPERITY In NEBRASKA.

We have had great many state
ments in the daily papers about the
great prosperity of the farmers in Ne
braska, and their success in wiping out
the mortgages upon their homes.
The Non-Conformist. of Omaha. in
that state, has, however, something to
say upon that subject in the following
article:
The Lincoln correspondent of the Bee
publishes list of II Nebraska counties In
which the mortgage Indebtedness has been
largely decreased in the last six months, Ii
also publishes list of other counties where
it has increased. But in the II counties
the statement also shows that nearly
$2,0OO,O 900 of new mortgages have been filed
In that time. At the very best, this is not
prosperous showing, for IL counties are
not doing a profitable business when they
are contracting new debts at the rate of
$4,O0O,000 year, and that after harvesting
two big crops and with another on the way
The correspondent of the Bee is a versatile
fellow. He don't propose to let any guilty
prosperity items escape. Here is what he
says about those counties which are actu-
ally increasing their Indebtedness:
"In nearly every instance where the
mortgaged Indebtedness has increased pros
per1ty is shown in other ways, the principal
reason for the increase being a feeling OF
confidence on the part of investors, who are
now willing to loan money on farm lands at
a lower rate Of interest than ever before"
He catches them a-coming and a-going-
the decrease of mortgages proves pros
perity, and the increase proves the same
thing. Those counties are prosperous that
are getting out of debt and those counties
are still more prosperous that are increas-
ing their financial obligations. That fellow
is earning his salary, but it must be mighty
hard work to write prosperity articles when
sitting straddle of barbed wire fence.
There is no doubt that the money

IT Is COMING.

The London Saturday Review proceeds to
claim that Canada now suffices by herself,
both politically and economically, ana mas
no further need of the United States; that
only the most factious policy on the part
of Great Britain could revive the annexa-
ZIONIST party in Canada, and asks what
possible reason Canada can have for in
volving the country in the gravest inter-
national questions. The article concludes
as follows:
with thousands of Americans slaugh-
terng Filipinos, whom they want to be
free, while the truth is concealed from the
public by methods worse than Russias as
an instance of external aggression, and
with reign of terror in Cleveland, where
a tram strike is conducted with nitroglycer-
inc bombs, as an example Of internal con-
vulsion, there is raised the grave question
of WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE
PRESENT TIDE OF PROSPERITY TURNS.
Therefore, to urge Canada to go beyond the
bounds of reasonable concession would be
good neither for her nor the empire"
The bankers are striving, by an in
creased issue of bank notes, and by be-
fuddling the people through their news
papers, to avert the tremendous catas-
trophe that must follow the wiping out
of one-half the metallic money of the
world. But it must come. 1t is as in
evitable as death. The day of judgment
may be STAYED off for a little while, but
it hangs over the world like bursting
cyclone, full of inexpressible horrors.

Sensible.

At the strikers picnic, held at Scenic
park the other day, Mayor S. H. Jones,
of Toledo, was the guest of honor and
orator of the day. In his address the
mayor said:
I'VE are in an epidemic Of labor trou-
bles, strikes, lockouts and boycotts, at
fecting widely separated portions of our
country, and as widely distributed dis
turbances disturb the land, the condi-
lions may be regarded as an Industrial
war. Boycott is cruel and an injustice
in many ways. Boycott is war, and
both sides will be hurt. l am not here
to offer a plan for Cleveland alone l
am here to urge and plead for remedy
that is final, not only for street railway
strikes and boycotts, but for all kinds of
troubles of labor in every sort of pub
lie utility. There is such a remedy, and
only one. The remedy may be found in
an absolute municipal ownership, oper-
alton and control. In short, the funda-
mental cause of trouble in Cleveland to-
day is found in the fact that few men
are granted the ownership in class of
