Firm as a Rock.
Chicago Democrat,

Chicago Democrat,
| President Mckinley, in his message
speaks OF the existing gold stand
ard" and asks from congress more
authority to establish that exist
ence.
This is n contradiction of terms but
a little thing like that does not both
er the president when he desires to
carry water on both shoulders.
John Hay characterizes the finan-
cial condition of this country as
firm as a rock but would like to
have some more gold legislation to
make it Il little more firm
Just now there is Il furry in Wall
street and the stock gamblers are
crying out for government aid to
make the financial conditions which
are, of course, firm as a rock, ;" suffi-
GENTLY solid to hold them up
Not long ago the bankers of New
York called on the secretary of the
treasury to tide them over an ex-
ceedingly soft spot by advancing
over s., 100000 of interest not due
for some months. and yet all the
while finances were, according to Jno.
Hay, firm as a rock"
About the same time the Bankers
Association met i'll Cleveland and put
forth platform urging congress to
pass currency legislation, because
our financial affairs were not las firm
as a rock, = but were likely to give
lot of trouble if tinkering were not
resorted to-
What is the matter with the repub-
lican tinanciers? They cannot get
together and agree upon some plausi-
BILE fiction which can be advanced
with at least a show of unanimity.
Meanwhile, if finances are las firm
as a rock, what is the need of legis-
lation? If they are not las firm as
rock, whose fault is it? The repub-
licans have been in power three years.

ADDITION TO THE CEMETERY.
Additional Land Secured by Rt. Rev.
Bishop Hoban.

Thirty-three acres of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western company's
land, lying between Pettebone street
and the Cathedral cemetery and in
width co-extensive with the present
cemetery plot, has been purchased by
Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban as an addition
to the cemetery.
This will make the cemetery forty
seven acres in extent. 1t is the bishops
intention to engage a landscape gard
ener to lay out the plot in an artistic
way. The present roundabout and dan.
gerous road to the cemetery is to be
abandoned for an approach by way
of one of the 120-foot boulevards that
have been cut through the land skirt
ing Main avenue, recently opened for
building purposes.
Efforts were made for a number of
years to secure additional land for the
cemetery, but the company, not wish e.
ing to dispose of any of it's land, held
it at prohibitive price. The new ofic.
falls Of the Lackawanna transferred the
property at a very reasonable figure.

greeted his ringing eloquence, witty
salies and withering sarcasm. He Is
a forceful and magnetic speaker"

MAY COME TO THIS COUNTRY.
Mrs. E. Moses Brother Will Prob
ably Represent Hawaii Here.

Mrs. E. Moses, of Madison avenue.
has in her possession the Hawaii
Herald, a weekly paper issued at Hilo,
Hawaii. The paper has several politi-
cal articles in it, and one OF them
booms A. B. Loehenstein as a delegate
to this country to try to secure from
congress, If possible, universal suf-
frage and other privileges for the Ha-
walians.
Mr.. Loehenstein is a representative
in the Hawaiian legislature, and 1t is
probable that he will come to this coun-
try. He is a brother of Mrs. E. Moses,
and is a surveyor by profession. He
left the United States in 1877 and has
not set foot in the country since. He
is man of considerable note in Ha-
waii, and in another part of the paper
quoted from before, is mentioned as
eligible for minister of the interior IN
the Hawaiian cabinet.
When Mr. Loehenstein comes 70
Washington, he will probably stop here
awhile and visit with his sister.

DEATH OF JOHN s. SHORT.
Was. One Of scranton's Prominent,
old-Time Business -Aen.

One of Scranton's veteran business
men, John s. Short, of the Arm of Short
g. Higgins, tobacconists, died yesterday
at h.30 o'clock y. m. of heart disease,
at his home, 224 Franklin avenue. He
had been ailng for nearly four years,
but was able to be about until last
Monday, when he took to his bed, never
to rise.
He was born in New York state, June
Z, 1889, but came to this city when a
mere boy and lived here continuously
since.
He began life as a grocer's clerk, but
after the war entered the tobacco busi-
ness as a cigar manufacturer and mer-
chant For seventeen years he was in
partnership with ]. w. Carney, under
the firm name of Carney & Short. When
this firm dissolved he organized the
firm of j. s. Short & Co., which after
wards became the firm of Short &
Flynn. Four years ago, when Mr..
Flynn retired to take charge of the
Valley house, NJ. II. Higgins succeeded
to his interest and since then the firm
has been Short & Higgins.
Mr.. Short enlisted with the One Hun
dred and Thirty-second Pennsylvanil
volunteers, which was recruited here
by Colonel Oakford, and was out four
months, when, at the battle of Fred
ericksburg, he received bullet in his
hip, which he carried all his life. The
wound laid him up in the Mt. Pleasant
hospital at Washington for eleveh
months and left him a cripple for life.
He suffered continuously from the
wound, although everything conceiv-
able was done to secure relief. Despite
his suffering, he was patient and pleas
| ant and a more sociable companion was
not to be desired.
In 1864. on New Years eve, he was
married in Wilkes Barre to Miss Lu-
| cinda Lotringer, of Pittston, who sur
ness which marked their married life
with the statement that since the day
| they were married Mr.. Short was never
| away from home q single night His
surviving children are Miss Eva Ger
trude Short, Mrs. Nettie c. Lange and
John w. Short. Two sisters, Mrs
| Sophia Westhouser and Mrs Charles
Hart, and brother, Stephen Short, all
of this city, are his other surviving
| relatives.
The deceased was one of the oldest
members Of Robert Burns lodge, of Odl
Fellows, and of Ezra Griffin post
Grand Army of the Republic. The
funeral arrangements are to be mad
| today.
