DUTY OF THE wELI-To-po.

Harper's Weekly recently made some
comments on a speech delivered by a
New York bank president before the
North Side Board of Trade which are APP
plicable TO almost every community. The
purport of the speech was that the rich
and well-to-do people should pay their bills
promptly.
who have good incomes will not pay bills
as long as they can avoid doing so. They
will let the butcher and the baker, the
grocer and the dressmaker, the doctor
and the dentist, and everybody else they
owe for services rendered, or for food or
clothing furnished wait for their money
until patience ceases to be virtue Why
this Is so, it would be difficult even for
the delinquents to explain. They have the
money, but for some reason or other they
don't like TO part with it, or else they
use the money, set apart for their bills,
in the pursuit of pleasure or in the pur.
chase of luxuries they could very wen
do without.
1t not infrequently happens that those
who have rendered services suffer for the
necessaries of life because they cannot
collect the money that is due them from
people who are well able to pay what they
owe. Cases not infrequently occur where
tradesmen are forced into bankruptcy, not
because they are really insolvent, but be-
cause they cannot get from well-to-do
and rich people the money these people
owe them.
1t is probable that il the retail mer-
chants. mechanics and professional people
were asked If the poor people are prompter
in paying their bills than the rich and
well-to-do, they would answer in the af-
hrmative. And a great many who are
able to pay at the time they make bills
put off paying until they are unable to
pay. 1t is largely because of unpaid bills
that prices for the necessaries Of life ana
professional services are higher than they
would be IL business were done on cash
basis. Those who pay their bills have to
carry those who don't pay. II business
were done and services rendered on a
cash basis, living would be cheaper and
people would be happier.

Ready for a Long swim.

We've got the crack swimmer of the
world up our way" said a gentlemanly
liar from Gloucester, Mass, who was in
Washington last week, says the Washing
ton Post. His name is Joe Endicott and
he's a sailor. Last year Joe was an A. B.
on bark down in the South Atlantic. He
got into a row with the skipper of the
ship when ID was right In the middle of
the ocean, 1882 miles from nowhere, and
che skipper, careless man, lost Joe; that
is, he pushed Joe overheard. Joe got back
to Gloucester twenty days later; he swami
he said. There are loW-lived, suspicious
folks up in Gloucester who claimed that
Joe must have. been picked up by some
fast Steamer. but that couldn't be So
for Joe told me himself that he swan.
We'll, the skipper who had pushed Joe
overheard from the bark pulled into Glou-
cester harbor with his ship a couple of
dicott there ahead of him, his admira-
ton for Joe's swimming ability knew no
bounds. He offered 10 match Joe against
any man in the world when it came to
long-distance swimming. Paul Boyton
the famous long-distance swimmer, heard
of the shippers challenge, and he turned
up in Gloucester to see about it, The
skipper offered to bet Boyton 81 900 to $500
that Joe Endicott 'ud beat him out in a
long-distance swim, and Boyton took the
bet. The match was arranged. On the
day when they were booked to start, Boy
ton turned up on the dock with his fancy
swimming toys on, but Joe Endicott ap-
peared loaded down with lot of water
proof bags tied all over him. There must
have been about 100 pounds weight tackled
to Joe this way.
".'What are those things?' asked Boy
ton, the famous swimmer, pointing to
Joe's water-tight bags.
Provisions said Joe
'Provisions?' asked Boyton. For
who?'
For myself replied Joe. Got only a
months provisions along with me- NOT

knew that he was up against too hard a
proposition in Joe Endicott"

opPosITIoN no MIR. nRYAN.

The belief among leading Democrats IN
New York city that the silver
question viii settle itself within
very few years is becoming so strong, that
il is probable that by the time delegates
are to be chosen 10 the Democratic ma
tional convention the opposition IN that
city among Democrats to Mr.. Bryan as
a candidate for the nomination for Pres
ident will have to a great extent disap-
peared 1t may be that it will have dis
appeared to such an extent THAI the
movement now being inaugurated 20 send
a contesting delegation to the convention
if an anti-Bryan delegation is chosen may
come to nothing. While 1t is true that
there has not been any such rise in the
price of silver as 20 cause widespread
comment, yet the Increase in the output
Of god has been so great that it IS regard
ed as certain that inside of ten years, If
the Increase In the gold output continues,
silver will be on an equality with gold at
the ratio of 16 to l.
1t is stated that the treasury reports, on
June 80 the end of the present fiscal year,
will show 1890 100000 in gold in this coun-
try, and il is confidently believed that the
amount will be more than billion of dol
lars by Sept. / 1t is expected that be-
tween 500, 100000 and 900 will be re-
ceived from the Alaskan gold fields by the
middle of August, and the director of the
mint says that the gold mines of this
country, outside of Alaska. are now yield
ing 5000 600 a month, with a fair prob
ability that the amount will steadily in
crease for a number of years
We have more gold now than any other
nation in the world. We have nearly
5000, 900 600 more than France, which has
more than any other nation of Europe.
As much as Europe is amazed at our
wonderful increase in exports her finan-
ciers are sim more amazed at our wealth
in gold and our rapid advance toward
the first position in the world Of finance.
The effect of this steady increase in the
worlds production of gold will be to close
up the gap between gold and silver at
existing ratios, and to bring about rise
in prices of commodities. A great rise In
prices followed the discovery of gold in
California, and it can hardly be otherwise
than that prices win advance as the out
put Of gold increases.
The prospect being that the silver
question will settle itself in the
near future the opposition in New
York 10 Mr.. Bryan will decrease.
Democrats who were opposed to
the regular Democratic ticket in 1896 will
be found In the ranks of the regular De-
mocracy 1t is said that the probability
of two delegations from New York TO
the Democratic national convention is very
much less now than it was month or so
ago. Owing to the abundance of gold,
and the probability that the abundance
will continue, the fear of the 16 20 l idea
isn't so acute as it was. Ex-senator Cor
man said in an interview a few days ago
that he thought that the democracy would
be united in the campaign of 1900, and 1t
Is probable that when he made that state
ment he had a pretty comprehensive idea
of the political situation.

The Difference.

The other day a little boy was sent to
a shop for a penny's worth of cobbler' 5
wax, says London Spare Moments.
The shopman, thinking OF quizzing him,
said:
Won't shoemaker's wax do?"
"AW doan't know" replied the lad,
"Aw'H 20 an see"
He returned again directly. and, ad-
dressing the shopman. said:
Mi father says that shoemaker's will
do"
The shopman handed it to him, smiling.
and SAID:
What is the difference
well" said the lad, going toward the
door, mi father says Their same difference
as Their is be tween you and a donkey,
and that is, they're booath alike"
And then he was off like a shot.

An Outbreak That Failed.

The story telegraphed from Havana
about the conspiracy to overthrow the
American authority in Cuba reminds me
that a similar scare was once attempted
in Porto Rico, says w. E. Curtis in the
Chicago Record. One morning a man
from one of the interior towns came 10
headquarters and in a most imperious
manner announced that 1t was imperative
that she should see Gen. Henry alone. He
was shown into the generals office without
ceremony and asked TO state his business.
With great many preliminaries and
mysterious airs he whispered that a con-
spiracy was on foot to assassinate all OF
the American officials, overpower the
soldiers and seize the government. He
admitted that he had reluctantly Joined
the plot, but was remorseful and was
willing to reveal the details and give the
names of the men engaged, provided he
was well rewarded and assured of protec-
ton.
Cen Henry had been looking him over
and Sizing him up during the interview,
and when the visitor finished his MARIA
ton remarked. indifferentlyi
rs that alp"
Yes" replied the stranger.
Well said Gen. Henry, you go home
and advise your friends to commence dig
ging graves at once. They will need a
good many, for the first time a shot is fired
in hostility TO the United States 1 will
hang every man who is engaged in the
conspiracy, directly or indirectly, and 1
know them all Good morning"

Elliott Flower in Chicago Evening Post.
Oh, shrewd, indeed, was Martha Brown,
\ woman famed throughout the town
For wisdom quite beyond the ken

Resourceful, earnest. one who would
Devote herself to doing good
Her words of censure came to be
source Of pain and misery.
There being lack of time to say
All that she would by light of day,
For admonit.ons, forcetul, deep,
She found herself neglecting sleep.

To call for lectures, lest he err,
And vet, forsOoth, try as she might
She found she couldn't talk all night;
While he. in hopes her needed rest
Would force her TO leave unexpressed
The thoughts he could not tolerate,
Remained away each night till late.
Oh, foolish man, who thinks he can
On womans voice thus place a ban!
On, silly one, who thinks he may
Beat woman's tongue in such way!
70 For, though at first i worked quite well,
There came a time when 1t befel
That voice, with warnings shrill and trite
Kept at him ali the livelong night;
Nor paused for breath, nor let him speak,
Nor showed a sign of growing weak
But ever. ever, loud and clear
With harsh reproaches smote his ear.
Night after night, although he found
His wife in sleep that seemed quite sound
No sooner was the light put out
Than all his faults he heard about;
Night after night he crawled in bed.
Believing he'd escaped the dread
Denunciations strong and long
But always found that he was wrong.
And then in desperation he
Declared his willingness 10 De

To young man who stood smoking a
cigar on a downtown corner the other
days, says the Chicago Chronicle, there
approached the elderly and impairment
reformer of immemorial legend.

other peoples affairs.
"rhree, replied the youth, as patiently
as he could.
Then the inquisiton continued. "How
much do you pay for them?P
''Ten cents each" confessed the young
man.
Don't you know, sir" continued the
sage, "that.if you would save that money
by the time you are as old as 1 am you

No" replied The old man.
"Well, l do" said the young man.

Some of the states are coming up mighty
slowly with contributions to that Dewey
home fund. The Brooklyn Eagle publish
es list showing the contributions up to
June 4. According 10 that list it appears
that Kentucky has contributed twenty
FIVE cents, Delaware, Indian Territory,
Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and
Tennessee 81 each; Virginia, $3.50; Geor-
gia. 1925; Florida, $50. Deweys home
state, Vermont, seems to appreciate him
much less than Florida does, since the
Green Mountain state has put up only
$25. The largest subscription is by New
York, $500. The fund already In sight
amounts to something over $4,000. The
popularity of the popular subscription
does not seem to have been overwhelm-

The statistics of employment collected
by the Massachusetts census in 1885 show
ed that 0,S77 persons in that state were
in the government service. In 1895 there
were 1905 persons in the government SER
vice, showing an increase of nearly 100 per
cent. in ten years. In no other line of &C.
cupation was the increase so large. The
probabilities are that conditions in Massa-
chusetts in respect to this rapidly increas-
ing Office holding class are not different
from those in other states. We have no
DOUBT that the percentage of increase in
the number Of offleeholders in Georgia has
been almost If not quite as large as in
Massachusetts during the period specified.
There has been a steady tendency to-
wards multiplying public offices for many
years. 1t is to be seen not only in the
national government but in state and mu-
nieipal politics as well. The party or fac
ton which chances TO be in power Is sell
dom or never satisfied with the number of
Offices at its disposal. There are always
many more place-seekers than there are
places. Some of the place-seelzers are po-
htically influential They demand TO be
taken care of, and new Offices have to be
created for them. The taxpayers get lit
tie or no benefit. The nation, state or
city is no better governed than it was
before. But the taxes continue to be pill
ed on to feed the Unsuitable political ma
chimes.
