"And now." said Private John AL
len, "looking back to that momentous
occasion, II wonder why we did not
agree with that old man. If we had
supported his views and upheld the
policies of his administration, the de-
mocratic party would have been in
power today, and all of us gentlemen
who have been left out because Of
our adherence to the free coinage Of
silver at 16 to in unlimited quanti-
ties, would have been returned to con.
gress again and again, with unlimited
possibilities as to our political future.
"When the historian comes to write
of Cleveland and the fact that when
he ended his first administration he
left $500, O0O, 900 in the United States
treasury, and that when he returned
to his second administration four
years later, he found that treasury
drained 40 low that there was not
money enough in it to meet maturing
obligations and current expenses, and
that Charlie Foster had already issued
his order for the printing of govern
ment bonds with which to raise gold
to redeem greenbacks, he will char
acterize Cleveland as a wise and sa-
gacious statesman and financier. That
historian will also say that Cleveland'a
last administration was four years
of lost opportunity OH the part 81

acceptable, were taken up and adopted
by the republicans. Upon the money

MODERN
MEDICINE.

MEDICINE. IA which they coin
Of allegedly AmericAh diseases. Astute
physicians Of the United States declare
that because q the intense and strenu-
GUS life Of the citizens Of this republic
there is evolved q type Of diseases en-.
tirely different from types common
among slow-going and old-fashioned
people in Europe Thus we hear every
day great deal about "nervous pros
tration." This disease afflicts, it is said,
only persons with plethora of money
and of all those luxuries that money
can purchase, and it scorns to invade
the homes Vt the poor, or the domiciles
Of merely we3l,to-do, comfortably fixed
people. They have only the nervous
elation and nervous exaltation which
come Of strenuous effort to better ones
condition. But nervous prostration is a
plntocratic disorder. 1t ought to be
called 'nervous safety" It is nervous
safety because it is the optgrowth of
undenied appetites, desires, fancies,
whims and caprices. When a person,
without endeavor or labor, has had
everything that he or she copN wish qr
ask for, nervous safety speedily
develops. aL.
Another charmingly discovering
phrase Of the doctors Of today 10 'heart
failure" When any human being dies
Of disease unknown or un.guessed By
the doctor, he corrugates his eyebrows,
looks wiser than it is possible for any
mortal man to ever get in this world,
and says: ''Died Of heart failure I" The
anomaly Of dying without having a
failure of the heart has not as yet been
Uncovered and proclaimed by the med
ical men of this country. Their meek.
ness makes the meekness Of Moses high
pride, for when they lose patient they
reverently and lachrymosely remark :
1.-The Ways of Providence are past find-
ing out!" But when a patient, who has
withstood the assault of disease, a
drug store and doctor combined,
thoroughly RECEIVERS, the profession
says: 'How skillfully and wonderfully
we did pull him through" Thus it Is
evident that God does all the killing of
sick people and doctors do all the saving
and curing.

from Montana and is now prominent

of committee of members of the ma
tional legislature who called in
body upon Grover Cleveland during
the year 1898, to solicit his influence
in behalf of the free coinage Of silver
at the ratio of 16 to in unlimited
quantities. There were about twenty
five members Of that committee. Each
one presented the best possible argu-
ments in favor of the fad and fallacy
of free coinage of the white metal.
Nearly all declared to President Cleve-
land that they believed that unless
the administration favored silver and
the monetary doctrine we all repre-
sented, reelection to congress or the
senate would become All impossibility

presented with more intelligent zeal
than was that Of silver OH this occas-
ion to which I refer. The friends of
the money fallacy (as it has turned
out to be) were fervid and ardent in

his views so that the democratic party
might be strengthened and each one
of the statesmen then present returned

duties that in the theft of the letters he had violated the provisions of his bond, and that the company was there- fore liable for the loss up to the amount for which the company had bonded him, and declined to accept the $20 ten dered by the surety company. The company then argued that the decision of the department was not within the law, and agreed to submit q statement of facts to the Attorney General, stat ing that it was willing to abide by his decision. Attorney General Knox held that in this case the surety company guaranteed that the employe should faithfully and honestly perform his du- ties, and therefore when he committed thefts of mail which was intrusted to him he had violated his bond and the surety company was held responsible under it's contract for the amount of money stolen, provided it did not ex- ceed the amount for which the bond was given.
 This will seem reasonable to all but the surety company, and it will seem especially reasonable to those from whom the money was stolen.

A DESTRUCTIVE FUNGUS.

A parasitic fungus that destroys trees and the beams and cabinetwork of houses and other buildings is causing alarm in Europe According to Genie Civil (Paris), the fungus is making trouble chiefly in Germany, Austria and Russia. It propagates rapidly in any wood that contains it's germs. de- stroying the wood completely and mak- ing it necessary to replace at once all affected timber. Professor Henry, of the Nancy School of Forestry, attrib- utes the trouble, says the paper just noted, to "the improper and nasty manner In hhich the lumber trade and the work of building construction are at present carried on." The Merulius lacrymans, which is the botanical name of the fungus, appears, in a favorable medium such as damp cellar as white threads, issuing from the wood and spreading themselves over it's surface. The germination of it's spores is aided by alkaline liquids. The fine threads easily penetrate woods in all directions, and may continue so to do for years, taking their nourishment from 1t and reducing it to powder Among other
 
 recent feats of the Merulius, Professor Henry notes the total destruction of a Russian dwelling in less than six months. The writer goes on:
 Tn default of a radical cure Henry thinks that one of the best means of checking the progress of the eevil is to try all wood as perfectly as possible, as well as the walls that moose 1t, and to air cellars thoroughly He also advises the prevention of all contact between the wood and alkaline liquids. If these precautions do not suffice, it will be necessary to remove the affected wood up to the point where itstexture, hard- ness and color are normal, and to disin- feet dry and aerate as thoroughly as possible the infected localities. It would be unjust, on account Of the de- struetlon caused by this fungus, to throw discredit on the use of wood in buildings, for which 1t is the best ma terial and one of, the most durable. only precautions must be taken In its employment for this purpose, just as with it's rival, iron, which would soon turn into mass of rust if it were not protected against dampness.

Tho streets.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The following dialogue which occur red within the sacred precincts of the | City hall recently, throws strong light on the question of the s1,500 appropria- ton for the Yale Bicentennial.

 T believe am now on the peoples S side"
 Gan 1t be for the peoples benefit to take money wrung from them by the most iniquitous system of taxation, | and squander it on gewgaws while our streets are in many cases in an impass- | able condition?" | "Why don't you put In a petition to 1 have your street repaired?" Tt seems to me our city officials are paid good salaries to keep the streets 1 in good condition.'
 "On, no; they can't repair a street without an order from the Court of Common Council" That seems strange. Here Is one of the highest authorities on this matter Let us question him (Enter MT. John Doe). Taxpayer "Mr Doe, can you tell me the normal condition our streets should be kept in without petitioning the council for hardening?'
 q should say that they should be kept in reasonably passable condi- tion.'
 "Then as my street is not in this con- dition, but is absolutely filthy and all but impossible, I suppose I am to con- clude that the Superintendent of Streets is remiss in his duty?"
 "Oh no we must remember the Su- perintendent of Streets can only keep so many streets passable as he has money for"
 "Then there is lack of money in the treasury to even keep the streets in fairly passable condition"
 Most certainly"
 Taxpaying citizen to non- taxpaying councimaf1-"Now, MT.

4 REASOHdB BEE DECISION.

A letter carrier in New York stole two registered letters containing about $2,0OO. The postofice inspectors rccoy- cred $1,500 of the sum and called upon the Fidelity and Trust Deposit Compa- ny of Maryland, which was on the, bond of the carrier, for the remainder. The company rendered the department the sum of $20, or $1o for each letter. hold ing that that was all the United States government was entitled to, and that the company could not be held for larger amount than the government by law was required to pay the owners of the letters. The department held that the surety company, by reason of the conditions of the bond, guaranteed that the carrier would honestly perform his

When the negroes get rich they will
 have the respect due their dollars.
 Therefore their efforts to get rich are

 the National Negro Business League, which is to be held in Chicago Wednes- day and Thursday of this week. The purpose of the meeting is thus stated:
 ITO inform as best we may the world of the progress which the negro Is

THE PLEA OF THE FORSA EN.

l Brother Bryan has been heard from concerning the rude. not to say heart less way in which he and his cause have been abandoned by recent Demo- cratic conventions. He says the reor- ganizers want Harmony and their method of securing it is to place under the ban all who believe in the creed of the party as promulgated by recent na- tional conventions. This is pointedly true, and so is this, which Brother Bryan also says: The reorganizers considers three things essential to suc- ces, viz: The flrst-the abandonment of the Kansas City platform; second, the nomination of candidates who do not believe in that platform and third the selection of national committee conn posed of men who each opposed the ticket in 1896 or gave 1t passive sup port.
 Why, p1aintively asks Brother Bryan, ostracize the best men in the party? Why place a premium on disloyalty? Theee are the very questions that "the best men in the party" asked Brother Bryan before they left him when he was on the up turn. Now that he is on the down turn 1t is his day to com plain ''The whirligig of time brings in his revenges."

MARR1Aer ON susPIo1oM

Love and prudence are having an interesting set-to in Ohio. A beautiful heiress there made up her mind that she wanted to marry poor young man who wanted to marry her. Her par ents said nay because they believed, or professed to believe, that the poor young man wanted the money which would go with the heiress. Then it was ingeniously suggested that the heiress turn over all of her property to the family attorney for three years. If at the end of that period the heiress still thinks her suitor married her not because of her fortune, she is to receive her property back again.
 Money, money, who gets the money? The young man will doubtless be will- ing to serve three years for fortune if that is his lay, and if he really loves he will gladly live with his wife on pro- bation, or suspicion, for three years. And if she really loves him they will both endure the three years with pa tience and even with joy. But three years is long time, and perhaps she may want a divorce before the end of them, even if the young man remains faithful to his love of her or her money. And would there be any guarantee, even if all went well for three years, that all would go we'll thereafter? Evi- dently not But it does seem reason able to suppose that woman ought to in three years.

 conversation he once had with the that duties on foreign wines should be Abolished because cheap wine would be a much more wholesome drink for the Germans than the beer they consume, which makes them phlegmatc.
