Asset Currency.

1t Is evident there will be a deter
mined effort when Congress meets to
pass an asset currency" bill. The
American bankers convention, which
has just adjourned, adopted the pro
posed plan, although there were seri-
Gus objections offered by some Of the
members The object is to allow the
national banks to issue more currency,
without having to deposit United
States bonds to secure the issue The
cry is more money. The bankers want
a monopoly that can be increased or
decreased at their pleasure, and of
course for their profit. But as the
amount Of money per capita Is con
stantly increasing by the increased
output Of gold and the currency issued
by newly organized banks there would
seem to be ample currency to meet all
demands Of legitimate business.

Something unusual happened in Co

than one espect-unIsual for so
many fights to take place by the
better class of citizens, and unusual
because they were Of the old time
"fst-cuf order without the usual dis
play Of firearms. While we regret
that il is necessary to resort to fights
TO settle difficulties, it is somewhat
refreshing to note that in these fights
the participants. with one single ex-
ception. depended upon the weapons
given them by God for their attack
and defence. Ordinarily in that many
fights at least two men would have
been punctgred by bullets. May their

that I Brought home were worth their

THE BELL OF THE ANGELS.

Ii is said, somewhere, at twilight
great bell softly swings,
And a MAJ may listen and hearken
To the wondrous music that rings,
II he put from his hearts inner chamber
All the passion, pain and strife,
Heartache, and weary longing
That throb in the pulses of life;
If he thrusts from his soul all hatred
All thoughts of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight
How the bell of the angels rings.
Let us look in our hearts, and question
Can purer thoughts enter in
To soul if it be already
The dwelling of thoughts of sin?
So, then, let us ponder a little
Let us look in our hearts, and see
II the twilight bell of the angels
Can ring for you and me.
