VERY WEAK EXPLANATION.
Bond Issues Are Discussed by the Ex-
President, But the Whole
Truth Is Not Told.

1t has evidently been deemed neces-
sary that some plausible explanation be
made of the repeated bond issues during
the last democratic administration. Ac-
cordingly, Mr.. Cleveland has come to
the rescue with an article on the sub
ject in the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post. He gives detailed account OF
the depleted condition of the treasury.
On January II, 1894, he says, ''the $780,
100000 gold reserve had fallen to less
than $70,000,000. Through the sale of
$50, 1000, 900 of bonds, the reserve OF
March 6, 1894, was again raised to $1O7,-
,S02; in less than three months, this
reserve was again down to SCI ,7S7. 374.
In January, 1895, another 100000 900
bond issue was made. BY February 8,
the reserve was again down to the
alarmingly low point of SAL ,3i0,1S1. II
the $1OO,000,000 gold reserve was to be
maintained, 1t was manifest that bond
issues were unavoidable.
There is one thing regarding these
bond issues that Mr.. Cleveland does not
explain, says Gunton's Magazine, and
that is why they were made necessary.
He does, indeed, say popular distrust
was perplexing and dangerous element
in the situation" but what had caused
this popular distrust? A critical ex-
animation of all the events that pre-
ceded Mr.. Cleyeland's administration
make it quite clear that the great event
that caused popular distrust" was the
election of Mr. Cleveland himself. He
went into Office with the avowed purpose
of breaking down the protection policy
of the country. All business men knew
this meant dealing a deadly blow at a
large proportion Of the manufacturing
industries of the country. Business
men distrusted one another, and bank
ers distrusted them all. New enter
prises were at once stopped. old ones
curtailed, and everybody ran for shelter
All this destroyed the confidence Of
everyone in everyone else; and, lastly,
It destroyed the confidence Of the public
in the United States treasury itself.
These are the facts that led to the con-
dition Mr.. Cleveland described, and
made his frequent bond issues neces-
sary. In short, the chief cause of the
calamity was the presence in the white
house of Mr.. Cleveland as the champion
of a dangerous economic policy.

MRS. ELIAS FREED.
Evidence Not Strong Enough to Hold
Her on Criminal Charge of
Extortion.

New York, June 11.-Mrs. Hannah
Elias was discharged late Friday af-
ternoon on motion of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Rand. acting for Dis
trict Attorney Jerome. at the conclu-
sion of the testimony of John r. Plat,
the aged millionaire who caused her
arrest for extortion. Mr.. Platt
proved disappointing witness. To
questions bearing directly on tho
charges on which the woman's arrest
had been made, he answered repeated
iya II don't know" His helplessness
and his. apparently unreliable memory
surprised those who attended his ex-
animation. He did not remember
whether he had given Mrs. Elias large
sums OF money during the past ten
years, as charged. and did not remem-
Der signing certain of the papers in
connection with his charges against
her.
Immediately afterward Mrs. Elias
was rearrested on writ in the civil
suit originally brought against her by
Mr.. Plat to recover $6S5,000. She was
released few minutes later on $4,000
bail.

"A WORD ABOUT GOSSIP.
It Is the Spirit and Not the Letter
That Determines the Nature
Of Idle Talk.

Gossip, after all, is fairly harmless,
provided It is sensible and innocent
The chief thing Is that you receive It
for what 1t is worth. and not magnify
your friends prattle or give idle words
terrible significance. All of us like
to talk about our friends; all of us do
talk about them, and we will to tho
end Of time; but ti:at doesn't mean
that we like them less or have the less
confidence In them. You must take
into consideration the spirit of gossip,
not the lettr. tell you In privacy
that my Uncle Joseph Is a cranky old
gentleman. very pernickety In his
ways. Are you then justified in going
to Uncle Joseph and telling him that
said he was crank? II you have
bit of sense you know very well that
his crankiness Is what particularly en-
dears me to him, and that he has
thousand other virtues which outweigh
that fault. Uncle Joseph, on the other
hand, might tell you that l am
thoughtless fellow, given to taking the
world lightly. Is 1t just to repeat III

Using lads Of his acquaintance. Gossip,
then, is rarely evil In intention when
II deals with friends. We speak OF
faults, but In our hearts are thou
sand reservations and the memory of
many virtues. Knowing our own feel
ings, we hesitate less to criticize. The
great thing we must learn is that gos-
sip is to be heard in the same kindly
spirit. and that 1t Is not to be repeated.
says Woman's Home Companion
Whoever hears wrongly. or whoever

II they meet your ears; smile indul-
gently and be nice to your critics, for
you can assure yourself that IL they
talk Of your faults. they also appreci-
ate your virtues. Gossip so received Is
robbed of chance venom, and the per-
son who receives 1t cheerfully Is
doubly armed against the stings of for
