WORCESTER RIDERS.
Waltham Races for Patriots Day Seem
to Be More Attractive Than the
Dedham.

Several Worcester bicycle riders will
undoubtedly change their plans for
Patriots day and compete in the road
race at Waltham, instead of at Ded-
ham, as they first intended. The Wal

the same as the Dedham. 1t will be-
gin at 10 o'clock in the morning and
be finished in good season to allow the
competitors to take part in the Ded-
ham races if they choose. Among the
men who may decide to race at Wal
than are Cross of the Vernons, Sibley
of the Newports and Balm and Smalley
of the Centurys. Entry blanks for the

STRENGTHENING Public credit

Every effort of the republican party
to add to the wealth of the money
holders through financial legislation
has been under the pretense OF
strengthening public credit"
The money which saved the life of
the nation was converted into an inter-
est bearing debt. under what is known
as the credit strengthening act, - I'M
der which capitalists reaped enormous
profits, wruug from the pockets of the
people.
The decentralization of silver, when
it was at a premium over gold of )
per cent. has been justified by the re-
publican party managers under the
same pretense of Strengthening the
public credit
Now come the republican members
of the committee on banking aud cur

which is to establish the single gold
standard, say:

A Great 81 Cents Worth.

This is frequently called woman s
century," and the appellation becomes
significant when one considers the
difference in woman's position today
from what it was a hundred years
ago. She is rapidly becoming a force
in the business world, as well as in
the world of art and letters, yet her
home interests have not seemed to
suffer in consequence, as may be
proven by the increase in publica-
lions for the homemsker during the
past few years. The Housekeeper, es-
tablished in 1877. was one of the first
journals to recognize woman's
demand FOR a periodicalwhich is de-
voted 10 progressive methods in
housekeeping. Helpful. Instructive
and progressive" has always been its
motto. 1t is Ia tbirty-siX page monthly,
beau, fully illustrated with half tone
plates. and full of good things from
cover to cover. 1t tells the home
maker how to cook, how to dress, how
to care for her babies. how to raise
flowers and chickens, and how to do
many other things. and it also keeps
her fairly well informed concerning
current events, besides giving a large
amount OF good fiction and special
articles on timely topics. Upwards
of 40. 900 subscribers pronounce it to
be the best of the domestic" maya
zines. 1t is certainly q wonderful so
cents worth.
The Housekeeper also publishes the
famous Buckeye Cookery" which
has proven a boon to thousands of
housewives. 1t is a standard up-to-
date illustrated work of $40 large
pages. More than 100000 copies
have been sold by subscription at
$l.75 per copy. The publishers will
give free copy of this book, bound
in strong leather paper covers, to all

they seldom heard of appendicitis,

fermentation of undigested food, reg

the nervous and organic action of the

the government relative to the unit of
value is of paramount importance.
When certainty shall take the place of
doubt and the integrity of our credit
be as fixed as the honor of the nation,
the national debt can be readily re-
funded at lower interest rates, and fu-
ture loans negotiated with ease upon
better terms than ever before
Let us see how much doubt ex-
lists among those who eagerly invest
in coin bonds. The market quota
tions on the day this report was given
to the public were as follows:
Two per cent coin bonds
Three per cent coin bonds ............ J.O91s
-Four per cent coin bonds. l-s2>s
Does this look like there is a need
for STRENGTHENING the public cred
it?''
Had the interests of the people
instead of the spectators been con-
suited when these coin bonds were
issued. millions of dollars would
have been saved to the taxpayers.
With 2 per cent bonds bearing 4
premium the Mckinley admiuistra-
ton sold the 5000, 600. 900 per cent
bonds at par. These bonds were
worth a premium of 6 per cent be-
fore they were delivered and now
command 81. Not less than $12, 000-
600 could have been saved to the peo-
pie had ordinary business methods
been pursued in the sale of these
bonds.
With 4 per cent bonds at a pre-,
MUM of 129 per cent, the govern
ment made contract with the Nor
gan-Belmont syndicate by which that
Wall street com bination got the $780,
900, 600 of 4 per cent bonds at pre-
MUM of only AZ per cent. In this
deal the government lost 500, 900, 900
These coin bonds now command a
premium of 1925 per cent.
This "credit strengthening" scheme
of Mr.. Hanna aud incidentally his
friend. Mr.. Mckinley, should be en-
titled IAN act to establish the single
gold standard, and to refund the coin
bonds in the interests of Wall street.

CONGRESSMAN CURTIS, of Kansas,
has introduced in the house a bill
authorizing the secretary of agricul-
ture to establish two branch stations
of the department. one at Topeka and
another at Springfield, Ill. The OBJ
ject of these stations is stated to be
for the manufacture of such remedies
for hog cholera and black leg in young
cattle as he may think proper, such
remedies to be furnished to farmers
and stock growers at actual cost.
There is said to be 4 general demand
for such institutions in Illinois and
Kansas, and it is said their materiali-
cation will mean much to the farm
ers. particularly those who devote
their time to the raising of fine cattle
and hogs.

THE CHANGES AT THE POSTOF.
FICE

L
10 the Editor Of the Journal and Courier:
The public in general and more espe-
cially that contingent of them who are
in the habit OF calling for their mail at
the postoffice Oh. Sunday are at present
wondering If the alterations which are
being carried on at the local postuffice
are Of permanent or of temporary
nature. If the former then they are al
most unanimous in saying that as far
as the patrons are concerned that the
alterations are not an Improvement, but
rather hindrance and discomfort to
all who have to call for their mail on
Sundays. Under the old system it was
easy for any one to gain an entrance and
an exit and at the same time have their
letters delivered with some degree of
rapidity. But under the new arrange
ment, the public are crowded together
like herring in a barrel the space being
altogether inadequate to carry out the
handling of the mail in a quick and or
derby manner. Those who rent private
boxes in this part of the building had
also great difficulty in getting near their
boxes in order to secure their mail, and
many complaints were heard from those
who had occasion to be there between
the hour of twelve and one. Of course
the alterations may be an Improvement
from an internal point of view, but if
so, it is a change that is certainly not
advantageous to the public unless some
better arrangement for handling the
large crowd Is devised
