there is a profit te them in
their circulation, and the same
reason influences the government Issue.
It borrows money upon them without
paying interest. But they obtain their
circulation because they are a desirable
currency. If the people did net want
them they would net circulate. Anil
the notes of small denominations are a
greater convenience than the large ones.
They circulate mere and are used by
mere people. Their deprivation would
be felt as a hardship ; and it is certainly
one which should net be caused without
geed reason. Notes which are profitable
te the people as a government te issue
and which are desirable te them as a
community te have, should only be with
drawn for very geed cause.
As we understand the matter the only
reason for their withdrawal is the deslr
ability of furnishing a larger scope for
the circulation of silver currency.
The government cannot circulate its
silver coinage te the extent te which
it coins it. It wants te coin it
te keep np its value as a production of
the country. We believe that is the
reason urged for the persistent coinage
of mere silver than the country wants te
use. This is protection in Its worst
form. It is the protection of a raw ma
terial ; of one which is net a prime arti
cle of necessity ; and one which does net
really need protection for its production.
It only needs it te give a greater
profit te Ha producers. Surely If silver
ere cannot be smelted at its natural
market price, its production should be
permitted te cease until the market for
it becomes stronger, as it would under
the limitation of its production. The
natural law of supply and demand should
surely be left free te govern the preduc
tlen of silver and geld, if it is ever te
be left free. The United States should
net force a silver circulation its people
de net want, for the benefit of a corepar
atively few producers. Let us have our
convenient paper currency and Epare us
from an additional burden of heavy
silver dollars. The secretary opposes
the further coinage of these, as every
sensible man must, while they remain
piled up in the treasury vaults. But we
cannot think that the vaults should be
relieved by forcing thotterageof the
silver upon the people individually.
teak was ever discovered, but clearly
many repetitions of such accidents will
bring the Judiciary into disrepute.
Tub impression has been made by the
public prints that votes were lest te the
Democratie electoral ticket in McKenu
county by an error in printing the name
of ene of the candidates. Investigation
shows that the tickets were printed cer
rectly but that the return blanks fur
nished by the county commissioners were
incorrectly printed, and hence the vote
was net returned as cast. There w ere
narrow eBcapes from like errors In etlier
parts of the state,ewlng te the haste and
carelessness with which the blanks were
prepared. There Is no occasion whatever
for county commissioners te be In the
hurry they se often manifest te prepare
and print this kind of blauks. Changed
in the electoral ticket are very apt te
occur from death, resignation or the
discovery of ineligibility, and a reason
able time should be allowed for these
contingencies.

TiiKna was a "dlfferenae of opinion
aineDg the lower courts of Pennsylvania
as te the liability under the act of 1701
regulating the olwervanceef the Sabbath
of a regularly licensed Innkeeper who did
such u business ns selling Ice cream te
residents of his town en Sunday. Judge
Henderten, of the Dauphin-Lebanon
district, maintained that the prevision
of the law exempting from its penalty
" the dressing of victuals in private
houses, bake houses, lodging houses, inns
and ether houses of entertainment for
the use of sojourners, travelers or
strangers," was sufficient te cover
the ice cream business. The Schuylkill
county court took a different view of the
law, nnd convicted the defendant in a
proceeding in which It appeared that he
was a regularly licensed innkeeper of
Mahaney City, that he had an ice
eream parlor in his hotel, and that
upon Sunday evening he sold Ice cream
te divers persons, residents of the place.
The supreme court having passed upon
the case, the law which It establishes
becomes of Interest te Innkeepers, pre
prieters of restaurants and Ice cream
venders. Judge Green of the supreme
bench, in an elaborate opinion holds that
the statute 'of 1704 must be strictly con
strued and that the keeper of a house
of entertainment If he provide "dressed
victuals" for these who are net travel
lers, strangers, or sojourners, net resl
dent, is guilty of no violation of the
Sunday law. Ilence in Pennsylvania
hereafter, a regularly licensed innkeeper
has a right te sell ice cream in his parlors
en Sunday without rendering himself
liable te the penalties prescribed by the
actof22def April, 1701.
A CuiCAae man roceutly get railroad
passes belonging te another man and sold

judge quashed the indictment en tbe
ground that there was no property in tb0

Republican defeat was due te any ether
cause than the weakness of Blaine ; but he
congratulates himself that the overthrew
of bis enemy "has put an end te sham Re
publicanism, whieh has for years been the
oenoublne of the Democratie Turk.
The defeat of the man wte was violently
opposed te Mahene and coalition in 1831,
1882, and 1833, and te the Feicd bill in
1875, issurely a step forward."
AFTRn a year nnd a half of experience
with the great bridge connecting New
Yerk and Brooklyn, and in view of the
limited number of people using it nnd the
inordinate cost of its operation, the New
Yerk limti says: "As a work of en
glneering It has proved entirely successful;
as a show it fully comes np te the bills; as
a praetlcal and principal means, of com
munication between the tirst and third
eities of the United States it is a ghastly
and ridiculens failure"
Tub Pennsylvania railroad company
was sued by Engineer Jehn Fitzslmmens,
of Yonngstewn, Ohie, for $50,000 dama
ger for injuries rendering him a cripple for
life, and the Jury has just awarded him
27,000. The oempany admitted that he
was entitled te $18,000, but when a jury
last summer awarded him 2G,000, they
asked for a new trial with the above
result. The case is somewhat romarkable
for the amount of damages recovered nnd
argues well for the humanity and gener
eslty of the Ohie jury with the money of
the railroads.
Tnn average juryman has very Ititle
consideration for the faithless lever. In
faet when begets a eesd opportunity te
sit en him very violently, he net or
neglects it. Only a few days age in the
loeal court, a young woman was awarded
(300 damages for her blighted adeetiens,
and the neighboring county of Barks
seems disposed te fellow suit in the
matter. Miss Isabella Sahlasmar sued
Geerge Kurr, a school teacher, for breaeh
of premise and the jury gave her gl.OOO,-
even though the defendant swore " that
Isabella bad flirted with another man and
behaved Improperly." Unless confronted
with proof positive of the latter, the jury,
man usually regards It as an Invention of
the enemy.

Congregational church. The ceremony
wns erfermpd at the home of a relative.
"We traveled evor 4,000 miles te have this
ceremony performed and will retrace the
same distance at once," smilingly said the
Uroetu te the minister, as the l.vit words
pronouncing the oeupto man and wife
were spoken. The bride at his side was

Mr. Bennett Is a wealthy Englishman of
perhaps 40 years. He fell In love with his
uutit, nuil she reciprocated his alfeotiens,
but the laws of England forbade the
marriage of nephew and auut, and they
were forced te seek mere convenient

in all thoxe oeuntrios. It seemed as though

Judge Wallace the United 8tates
court of New Yerk, decided en Monday
that the Injunction should be maintained
against the Drawbaugh telephone, thus
leaving the Bell company in possession
of the field. The decision was generally
a surprise, ns the Drawbaugh Invention
seemed te have been well proved
te have long ante-dated that of
Bell. Yet it was net a surprise te
some people evidently during the day or
two before the announcement, as the
Bell stock advanced sharply en Satur
day in the Bosten market. This antici
pation of the decision seems te show
that Its purport was known te some
persons before it was publicly made.
This, we assume, was without the per
mission of Judge Wallace; though hew
it came about should be the subject of
his inquiry.
A similar thing happened three years
age in regard te the decision of the
supreme court of Tennessee as te the
constitutionality of an act of the
Legislature making the coupons et the
state bends receivable for taxes. It was

The residents of Middle Village, L. I.,
are greatly excited evor the stabbing of
Barbara Stsllmacher by her husband,
August, en Monday. Stellmacher, who is
35 years old, lived with his wife, 30 years
old and prepossessing, and their infaut

When Stellmaeher saw that he could

he r t-a-eJ his steps, and, walking into the
hotel, laid the bloe ly razor en the bar.
Then he turned te Constable Henry Beth
aud said : "I have killed my wife aud I
want you te arrest me." The constable
hurried te the 1 euee, followed by almost
every person in the village. A horrible
spectaole was presented te their view. The
furniture was thrown en evcy slde and
the walls were spattered with bleed. In
the middle of the fleer lay the wretched
woman, and by her slde, in a peel of blend

in the neck aud face and was very weak
Tbe husband looked ou oeoliy while she

Constable Deth scoured him, aud at once
started for Newtown, where the prisoner
was locked up,

the conr.table aud took the woman's ante
mortem statement. She told a curious
story. She wna net a married woman, she
said, but simply lived with Stellmacher
whose right name, she said, was Albert
Uergcr. She acknowledged ber Intimacy
with Schlorer, but In extenuation said as
she was a single woman she could de as
she pleased. Sbe lay without medical

A person very much resembling llenji

Monday, and took a seat among the num
oreus able lawyers who had gathered te

Fer uome time he smoothed his scanty
gray leeks with his left hand and leaned

he cast furtive glanees at the learned

around him. Finally be slipped Inte a

Later en the mysterious individual told
the learned judges that he bad something

through the same deer he had entered.

A bearding-house keeper of Paoli, aleut
fifty years old, has disappeared and se has
a woman about thirty years old, who was
employed as a domestic. As they took

An oxteuslve eave In took place at

by hiudermau, Skeer & Ce. Four hun
dred mluers and laborers are thrown out
of employment. The most injury was
doae at Ne. 1 gangway, the railroad traek
Irem this outlet being completely blocked.
It cauuet be ascertained hew lar the fall
extends, butoemmuuieatlon Is cut off from
tlve workings. Anether gangway, known
ns Lloyd's near by, threatens te cave in at
any moment. Fears are entertained that
five nores of surface will fall iu. The water
course from slope Ne. 3 te 5 Is steppod up
and the water has risen te a helght of four
feet. The railroad tracks near the slopes
have settled flve luehcs. They are being

Ilight picturefque are the groups of ne ne

they have shown a characteristic race
tenacity of the soil. The Highlanders,
who lied from tbe disasters of Cullcden

them te the mountain. It was counted
singular that in the Involution they
should hare taken up arms se readily for

paragraphs of local interest :
Turning te the Parish records I find that
during these soveu years I have mlnUteied
nt IU marriages, nnd have baptised 137
persons, of whom ltl were ndults ; 110
porseus have been oeniitincu, nud I have
said the last ollleo evor 151 dead. There
are new 331 names uu the list of regular
communicants.
These llgures are eaMly read ever, but
they suggest a long nud happy labor, nud

Te him I nm, as you knew, indebted for
much and vala&d help, freely rendered
during the past two years, hore at the
parish ehurcli. A sewing school for peer
children nnd a young woman's guild, are
doing mueh, nnd as time gees en will de
mere, at the ohnpel.
The Suuday soheols both there and hore
are in a nourishing condition under the
care of faithful corps of superiutondeuts and
teachers. A little fund from which the ex
penses for text and library beaks aud the
like can be met, Is mueh needed, aud I
thiuk we will have hereafter ou seme stated
Sunday of each year a 6pacial offering for
this purpose.
The lleme and the Orphanage are delug
a quiet but geed work for theso who need
the help they gire, aud barring wltuess te
the truth that it is the mission of the
church te minister, (as its Head did
wheu He was en the earth) net only te
tbe souls but te the bodily wants of His
people. The geed theso institutions de
might be vastly luereased if the endow

A DULY 8CUVICE NKEDCU.
Returning new te the mere imruodlate
thought of the text, the worship of tha
parish, I have a few words te say before I
clese. It h my earnest desire that the
tlme may come when the church can be
opened for daily service ; since se only OjH
the prevision of the Rubrics be carried
out, and the ideal of public worship as set
forth in the Bible and in the u;e et an
branches of tbe Catholic chnreh in ancient
days, be rcaehed. But I am called from
town frcaitentlv bv church bus!
ness. or te minister elsewhere, and
a slngle priest In a large plilsh finds
constant and imperative ongagements,
eueh ns these growing out of sickness, nnd
the burial el the dead, whieh make this
daily servlee imnosslble. If our elergy
could only work, ns the Lord at first seut
Uis proaehers, "two and two," this service
oeuld be easily maintained, it la some
thing that we have frequent weekday
services, nnd dally in Lent and the ether
mere eelcmn times. It may well be
wished that these services were hotter
attended. I knew that for ihe most of
men and wemen, en week-days, work
well done, as iu His sight Is worship.
When oneo we nre mindful of Uis pres
ence. laberart tit orare.te work is te pray.
By the will of Ged, thou, the duties of most
paople, most of the time, 110 net inside the
doers et the ouureu, but out in tue worm.
But surely In a pirhh as large as this,
there must be mauy who have no such
pressing outer duties that they cannot
withdraw for naif an hour into tbe still
nets et Qcd's house te pray for themselves
and for ethers, and And solace nnd rest
there.
Seven years nge en coming here I estab
llshed an early oemmuniou en Sundays
nnu neiv days, Anu tuts nas oeeu mam
tilncd since, te the glory of Ged, and te the
great comfort or theso who frequent it.
And I am Bure that if only mere of our peo
ple would oneo realiza hew favorable Is the
time befere ether feed has pissed the

the heart and ethor occupations the hands,
In the stillness and freshness of the new

early oelehratious. Se the aspirations of
the holy Psalmist would eesm te be ful-
tilled, " en ued, Theu art Jiy ueu, eariy

It would bowell If our hyma-siugiug
and responses were still mere full aud
hearty. Nothing Inoltes devotion mere
readily than the audible expression of
devotion by a great oeugrogatlon. Andjthe

Republiean judges, had been forged te the
tally sheet nud poll book, and that the
object of the erasure was te ohauge the
majority iu the state legislature aud
thereby control the election et a United
States senator.
He did net undertake te say who was
guilty of this crime, but expressed the
hope that tbe person who committed it
would be adequately punished. The
opinion declares that It was the false acd
ferged returns which the cauvassiug beard
of Cook county canvassed nnd net the true
and correct returns, aud, with all due
re j poet te them, he was of tbe opinion
that they should net have counted that
return. He approved the notion of the
beard of ttite canvassers In hearing the
evidence presented te him. He thought
that canvasiing beards were net Intended
te be maehine, in earrying out the crimes
of forgers aud falsillern, and that the gov

likely te cease. At the time of the failure
of Qrant & Ward It was well understood
by Wall Street men that the fund, whieh
had been Invested iu Wabash fctoeks, had
depredated greatly in value, but the
general improtsien was that the bankers
