The use of the legend Tn God We Trust" on some of the coins of the United States grew out Of-according to a
 writer in the Chicago News a letter written bya Maryland
 farmer to Salmon F, Chase
 when he was Secretary of the
 Treasury. The News writer
 says: "The letter was writ ten in November, 1861, the writer urging that we should, as a Christian people, make some recognition of the Diety on our coins. Mir. Chase re ferred the letter to Director Pollock of the Mint. who ap- proved the suggestion and
 proposed one of the leg 4nds, Our Country, Our Grd,' or God Our Trust Mir. Chas- then referred the matter to Congress, and again in 1862 and l>63 he urged that the matter be acted on. Finally, on April P, 1864. Congress authorized the coinage of a , cent bronze piece, and on it was stamped the legend, Tn
 tod We Trust instead of E Pluribus Unum.' Subse- 9uently, on March 3. 1865, | the Director of the Mint with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, was author ized to place the legend on all gold and silver coins susceD- tible of that addition there after to be issued The legend is taken from the following line in The Star Spangled Banner: And this be our motto: In God is our trust.

This is the season of the year in which the housed-in and cramped resident of the city envies the free and inde- pendent farmer, fresh and vii talized with the resurrected spirit of the spring. The very smell of the new soil is invig- orating and gives the farmer cause to be proud of his occu- patton. IL awakens the best there is in man. It carries a perpetual essence of pleasure. There is no other occupation known to man which inspires such beautiful and sublime ideals of life. The thought of reaping and garnering the harvests of the world; is one to stir in mans breast the proudest sentiments of man. hood and virile thought Pendle East Oregonian.

LET US BE MODERATE.

However much we may have cher
ished the hope of two-cent passen-
ger rate in Wisconsin, obviously the
wise course now is to accept the com,
missions suggestion in behalf of a
maximum half a cent higher and be
guided at the legislative session two
years hence in regard to the proper
policy to pursue. States roundabout,
Iowa Illinois, Minnesota. Indiana and
Nebraska, may in the meantime be
experimenting with the rate for
which a popular demand was felt
here, and results obtained by them
will become ucCful for our informa-
ton. 1t is well to go slow, to he
reasonable. not to yield too fully to
a mere selfish prediction. The rail
roads, by rebates. determinations, eX-
tortions and the undue saturation of
stock, VIGOROUSLY invited retribution.
but toward the worst Of sinners a
policy of revenge is never warranted
1t may be assumed that Transports
ton managers have acquired during
the past two or three years a some
what clearer appreciation of the true
relation which their agencies bear to
the public, and also of the corrective
power Of a nation reused to action by

THE INTELLIGENT JUROR.

The Thnw case In New York. as we'll MS
other famous murder cases, has shown
that, in order to be accepted on the jury,
a talesman must declare:
That he has not read newspaper for
the past six months aud that he only
took one brief glance Into the last family
almanac.
That II he ever heard OF plaintiff or
defendant he has forgotten the fact
That he has heard about Columbus dis.
covering AmerIcu, hut stopped right there.
That he is numskul enough not TO
have any ideas on murder so long as no
one attempts to murder him.
That he has spent the last Ave years
down In the basement In an empty sugar
hogshead, and Is not sure whether the
world rcvolvcs or not.
That, II he ever heard anyone express
an opinion ON the present case, he at on e
changed the subject to rats or ran away
60 Canada as fast as he could.
That none Of the lawyers, witnesses or
jurors are his aunt or mothcr.In-law
That he cant remember how many born
fools there are In his family, but he
knows that his anne Is on the list
That he has seen and is familiar with
the animal called the Jackass. aud that
there Is bond OF unity between them.
