Touching the etiver question, lee soya
The recent repeal of the pnevisions Of law
'requiring the purchase of silver bullioia by the
/Government as a feature of our monetary
scheme has made an entire change in the com
plexion of our currency affairs. .1 do not doubt
that the ultimate result of this action will be
most salutary aad la' reaching. In the nature
et things, however, it is impossible to ]now at
this time 'precisely what conditious evill be
brought about by the change, or what, if
-any, supplementary legi lo.tion may, in
the light of such conditions, appear to be
essenteal or expedient. Of coulee, after the
recent financial perturbetion, time is necesary
for the re-establishment of bu-inees confidence.
When, however, through this restored coal: -
Ilene°, the money which has been frightened
into hoarding places, is returned to trade and.
enterprise, a survey of the situation will proba-
bly disclose a safe path leading to a pprroan-
°nay sound currency, abundan Lly sufficient to
meet every requirement of ourincreasing popu-
lation and business.
In the pursuit of this object we should reso-
lutely turn away from alluring and temporasy
expedien s, determined to be content with
'nothing less than a lasting and a comprehen-
sive financial plan. In these circumstances
ra.m convinced that a reasonable delay in deal-
ing with this subject,instead of beieg injurious,
will increase the probability of wise action.
He recommende a generel reorganization
of the army, hinting at rednotloto and
detail:1 the progress of coast delenue work,

Secretary ef the Navy, ood thee refers to
the Pezeton goestion
The report of the Secretary of the Interior is
-of special value and interest. On the 30th day
of June, 1893, there were on the pension rolls
969,012 names, an increase of 89,944 over the
number on the roll on June 30th, 1892, the dis-
covery having been made that many names
had been put upon the pension roll by means
of wholesale and gigantic trends. The com-
missioner suspended payments upon a number
of pensions which seemed to be traudalent or
mnauthorized,pendieg, a complete examination.
giving notice to the pensioners in order that
they might have an opportunity toestablish,
if possible, the justice of their claims notwith-
standing apparent invalidity. I am unable to
-understand why frauds in the pension rolls
should not be exposed and cote ected with
thoroughness and vigor. Every name fraudu-
lently put upon these rolls is a wicked inmost -
tion upon the kindly sentiment in which
pensions have their origin. Every fraudulent
pensioner has become a bad citizen, Every
'false oath in support of a pension has mead° per-
jurymore common and false, and endeserving
pensioners rob the people not only of their
,money,but of the patriotic sentiment which the
survivors of the war who , ought for the preserve -
tion of the Union ought to Inspire, Thousands
of neighborhoods have their well-known
fraudulent pensioners, and recent develop-
ments by the bureau establish appalling con-
spiracies to accomplish pensions frauds. By
no means the least -wrong done is to brave
and deserving pensioners who certainly ought
not to be condemned to such aseothation. Thoec
3;vho attempt in the line of duty to rectify
these wrongs should not be sok:used of enmity
or indifference to the claim e of alonest
vetemne.
niers ege goes en te disown thelestlions,

which is lauded highly, and then praceeds :
After a hard struggle tariff reform is directly
'before us. Nothing so important claims our
atteution, and nothiog so clearly presents
itself as both an opportunity and a duty—an
opportunity to deserve the gratitude see our
fellow -citizens, and a duty unposed upon us
by our oft -repeated professions and by the
enaphatic mandate of the people. After
full discussion our countrymen have
spoken in favor of this reform and they
have confided the work of its accomplishment
to the hands of those who are solemnly pledged
to it. Nothing should intervene to distract our
attention or disturb our effort until this reform
is accomplished by wise and carefullegielation,
while we should staunchly adhere ro the jprin-
ciple that only the necessity of revenue usti•
-fies the imposition of tariff duties and other
federal taxation and that they should he
limited by strict economy. We _cannot close
cur eyes to the fact thatconditione have grown
up among ns which in justice and fairness -call
for discriminating care in the distribution
of such duties and taxation as the emer-
genciee of our Government actually demand.
fani1est1y if we are to aid the peome directly
through tariff reform one of its most obvious
leatures should be a reduction in present tariff
charges upon the necessaries of life; not less
closely related to our poople's Dr oipentst and
-well-being is the removel of restriction s upon
the importation of the raw materials necessary
to our manufactures. The world should be
open to our natural ingenuity and enterprise.
This cannot be while Federal legislation
through the imposition of high tariff forbids to
American manufacturers as cheapmaterials as
those used by their competitors. It is quite ob.
-ohms that the enhancement of the mice
of our manufaetured prothic. re-
sulting from this policy, not only
confines the market for these 'products
within our own border', to the directdieadvan-
Mgt) of our mahufacturers, but also increases
-their cost to our citizens. The interests of labor
are certainly, though indirectly. involvedin this
feature of our tariff system. The sharp com-
petition and active struggle among our menu-
Itecturers to supply the limited eernand for
their goods soon ills the narrow market to
winch they aro confined. Then follows a sus-
pension or work in mills and factories, a di -
charge of employees and distress in the homes
of our, workingmen. Even it the often dis-
proved assertion could be made goorl that a
;lower rate of wages would reeult front free
raw materials and low tariff dutiee, tho in-
telligence of our workingmen leads them
quickly to discover that their steady employ-
ment, permitted by free raw reate.ria.le. Is the
most important factor in their relation tee tatiff
measure has been prepared by the appro-
priate congressional committee embodying
tariff reform on the lines herein enggested,
which will be promptly submitted for lerela,-
tive action. It is the result of much patriotic
and unselfish work, and I believe it deeds with
its subject consistently and s s thoroughly as
existing conditions permit. I OM Satisfied that
the reduced toxin' duties provided for in the
proposed legislation, added to existing internal
revenue taxation, will in the near totem,

In conclusion, my intense feeling of reeponsi-
laility impels me to invoke for the manifold
interests of a generous and confiding people

willing support to every legielative effort for
the advancement of the greatnese maid pros-

When young Pierian first took to bin bed

no means robbed him of the natural aspir-
ations of an imaginative youth.
Sometimes to vary the monotony of kb
life, which set beet was dull enough, he tread
novels and steam of travel. One day the
invalid read about a young girl who tricked
her vieiting card under the band ef a doeby
het which she was finiehing. The pur-
chaser of the hat found the card, and, el
course, the sequel wae the usual romance
and marriage.
Oscar Piersen Wag pleased with tide little
conceit. It diverted hie mind. He decided
that when he heti finished a particularly
handsome piece of lace on which he WBS at
work his name should go with it.
He carried out his plan, and when the
lace went to the Mere hie Immo and address

casual observer.
The widow of Benoon Boy.was the peer -

received a letter from the widow. He an-

The correspenderme began to fieurieh,
however, and by dogreee Omar learned that
the wearer of hie pretty lace was it widow

loomed that he who had made hums apeor,

Yesterday was an off day in the truck

entiog behind hie goad horse. Ho did nob
linviee ilia wife, hub he did tisire, it in

probably that "friend" that °mused all the
trouble.
After doing bin duty by the family turkey
Teeny hammed hie horse and, leading It
to Gleaten's stable, at Clarke and Broome
streets, hitched up to a stylish reed wagon,
glordouri in a 'sleek body and yellow who -Ie
and geer—regular Princeton colors. Then,
the neighbors say, he took his "friend"
aboard, and during the afternoon enjoyed
'spinning along the boulevards and up the
road. He returned to Gleaeon's debit,
alone ehortly before 6 o'clock, left the
wagon there and led his roadeter around to
hie OW31 stable.
Libtle did he reckon what was in store for
him there. A woman—neighbors esid ahe
was his wife—had arrived at the stables an
hour before and was waiting patiently for
hint Us return with the horse. Two liltbs
children kept quite close to her. She was
not vieible te flienny as ho approached the
stable, for she kept a position behind a
Muck.
At the table door the horse balked and
would not enter. Tenny lifted bhi whip,
and, bringing it down on the aninaaVailanke,
ciried oub
" Gee up 1 Get in there 1"
The woman .at that instant jumped from
hakd the truck, snatched the whip from
Tenny's hued and etrack -him serene the face
with it several timer'.
" Get in there yourself," she cried.
Tennyi according to some speetatora, did
got in, and in hot haste, too, and they eay
that after the ratable doors wore closestthey
aould still hear the whip swishing through
the air and falling en some object that
mitered vigorous' protests in tones that

Other 'witnesses say the doers wore not
