Tho commencement exercises at Lehigh

Rev. Dr. Hopkins, Rector of Christ Church,

took the coincidence of tho University ser

the Church aud tho Universities, tho wholo
modern University system having grown

Theology remained stationary whilo science
was continually cxpauding,ahd, as the finite

standpoint that all true conclusions ofbci

been that they thought well for themselves,

"American" know this to bo so? Wo
do not pretend to thoroughly understand
the present financial question, tho Sherinrtu
Idea) but of nil schemes to defraud, where
by the few ore enabled to rob tho many, wo
recommend thlsi a policy which will ba.uk
rdpt as n nation and pauperize us as n peo
ple. Tho quotations of " American" nro not to
tho point on the question of absolute green

opinions of Washington, Adams, Jefferson,
Ac.: but they liad referencc to a paper prom
ise issded by States, the old State bants sys

redeemable iiaper money, and wny win
" American" porsist in snowing the folly of
such nn issuo When no 0110 advocates It.
What wo want is nn nbsoluto money issued
by the government to pnv nil debts, no ex
ception, redeeming itself every tlmo it pays
a debt.
Tho government of tho United States has
the absolute right to create money; never
had any need to borrow money; It did cre
ate nearly every dollar that was used to pay
the soldier and create the munitions of war.
If that money was honest (and no 0110 dis
putes it), will it bo dishonest to call In every
bond that is duo and pay them off in this
absoluto money? For years our present
greenback, though not nn absolute legal
tender, has paid debts, has been decided by
tho supremo courts of somb States to be a
legal tender, even when the contract speci
fied gold. Kow; if the law forces its paper
money on one, aiid compoliihlm't'o tako it
as payment in full, Unit laW shall forNj tho
same money ,uon, tho, bondholder, nnd it
fchnll' bB as full nhii final 'payment to ono
class of creditors as another. Tho tlmo is
not far distant, cither. And is there ono
who says it would bo dishonest? Is there
one who contends that thev must be paid in
gold? There is not n bond in existence to
day that requires the principal to bo paid in
goldiT Aud What folly, to talk of this money
jjeing Irredeemable.'' It is thostamp of-tho
government Hint lixes the vaiuool tno piece
of metal or paper. The law declares it to
bo money. If wo owo a mail $10,00p, wo
can pay him in greenbacks, which aro
money, because tho law says so, and now
why not pay off every United Stiles bond
in tins .groenuacK, laiyiui money? uoid
and silver caii 116I Iks lnbiicy till the .law
says so. When It says they arc not money,
then they aro not'; therefore, tho law can
create and destroy money, as men can cre

ed by tho facts. "Anon" gives tho School
Board of 1 877 very much pruise for economy,
Ac, while the Board of 1870 is "gone for" 111
a manner that places them, in a very un
pleasant position. Kow, by a little figuring
nnd looking over tho following facts "Anon"
will ascertain thattho board for J8"6'did
just as well as the board for 1877. Amount
of tax duplicate for' 18TB, $1,203 (12; while
for 187 amoiiutedto51,3J0 40. Tho Board
of Controllers in 1876, built a new fence
around Jamestown lot, which cost over $100.
The same also paid over $25 for new furni
turo (desks and scats). And, in 1878, hav
ing no election district, we had to pay our
own election expenses. Amount, $10 75.
Now, buying no new furniture, building no
ncv fence, election expenses paid by the
county, anil with receipts over 130 more in
1877 than In 1876, it is very evident that
any Board of Controllers' would have had
tho same amount of cash on hand, without
a icacA dog, or any other kind of a dog.
I hoiu the abovo explanation will bo sat
isfactory to "Anon," no that ho can nllbrd to
give a little credit to the Board of Control for
"l76,ntea4)f giyjng It all to ths Board for
1887. which really docs not deservo it nuv
mors tnan tno iwaru 01 controllers ior ibju,

En. Cahdos' Advocate ; It is not that

something may happen that disturbs tho

To close, Mr Editor, "What's tho matter

there might be. That's what's tho matter
with the School Board.

The Borough Stnlemenl.'
Mr. Editor I I notice, in the auditors' rot
port of our Borough Council affaire, that
thero is still about $800 uncollected. It just
occurred to me that with this $800, nnd tivo
or ten mills nt highest, our Couhcil1 could
make both ends meet; in fact, Jul ice1 de
mands it,beeaUS6lttS"tlttS-Vcry deficiency
that compels a heavier assessment. The'
abovo $800 is nbout one-fourth of the whole
assessment. Now, becanso one-fouith are
fnrorcd' by tho tax collector, and Council,
pcrnnps, 1110 remaining imcu jourtns must
pay a heavier tax, to accommodate tho one;
fourth who, of courso, pay tlio same, but
have a year or moro time to pay it. Out
upon sueli justice I My tax was reported to
tho Lehigh -Vnl!oyRailroad paymaster and
deducted from my 'FPE03 sixjinonths ago;
yet, from 'what I can learn, our wealthy
men, who can make money with money,
are favored with plenty ot time. There

nineteen, had several convulsions Tuesday
morninjj, after which she relapsed into a
.stale 'of insensibility. In the evening nt G
o'clock eho showed signs of recovery.
Thirty persons, nil told, mostly' children
who tasted the milk, wero more or less af
fected byit,mnnynf them being seized witty
violent Vomiting. The number under thd
caro of the several physicians is eigntecnt
all of whom are convalescing. Tho doctors
pronfiuiiced it a case of animal', poisoning,
and, -on' examination of tho 'tfow's udder,
found that it had been bitten, by a snake.
