RAIDING THE PENSION ROLL
'Til thirty yean, to-day. Bill,
Since we joined tbe rankt of those,
Who left their borne and re-tidet
To face tbe country'i foes.
The morn we marched away. Bill,
Our eyea with tea were blind ;
When the band that led our column
Played Tb. G.rls We Left Behind "
I was but a private. H.ll.
And proud lo wear the bins ;
While a pair of ailt-edsed shoulder bars
Our company gave to you.
Your heart was a arm and kind, Bill,
And we always found it true ;
For when the right was hottest.
We could always count on you.
You never to til. bed a comrade. Bill,
Or put on lofty airs ;
Yv never heard you curse or sue r.
But we knew you &aid prayers.
Tou were generous to a fault, Bill,
For, wheu oor frnvls were low,
And a comrade needed money.
He knew just where logo.
Tbe hoy that followed you. Bill,
Were the onen that loved yoa best ;
Sfdof them are livin?ftill.
And some hare gone to rest.
You left an arm at Gettysburg,
B it we never heard you grieve :
od He you now and alura,. Bill,
While y.iu wear the " empty alevve."
You're getting old and feeble, Bill,
With tbe weight of paving years ;
And when, at bM, you're mastered out.
You 11 leave the boy In team.
Tbere'f many a loyal comrade. Bill,
That man Led witb you and me.
And some that follwed Sherman
From Atlanta tt the sea.
They are old. and gray, and feeble, Bill,
And haven t long to stay ;
And wore the blue on many a field.
While Hoka Smith wore the rray.
They are broken dawn inheaith. Bill,
And their strength i almost gone ;
There's nothing nor that they can do
To help theui.-elves along.
There's a policy on f.i-A, Bill,
To raid the peu-iou roll.
And he who lcad tbe foul crusade.
Has neither heart nor jul
The man who cursed the f.ag. Bill,
Our comrades fought to save.
Would take away their pittance
On the threshold of Uie grave.
They are dropping rom tne roll. Bill,
The men who f.WKht and bled ;
They would starve our comrades living.
And iusult our comrades dead.
There's a diy of vengeance coming, B: 11.

President's Message.
Wahhinotos, Anpast 8. P-oth hoibses
of Congress reaml'led at noon to-day,
and after the usaal preliminaries the
President's message was presented and
read, as follows :
To the Congress of the United States :
This existence of an alarming and ex
traordinary business situation involving
the welfare and prosperity of all our jo
ple has constrained me to t all together
in extra session the people's "n-presrnt-tivesin
Congrew, to the end that through
a wise and patriotic exercise of the legis
lative duty with which they solely axe
charged, present evils may be mitigated
and dangers threatening the future uuy
be averted.
Oiir unfortunate financial plight is not
the rrsmt of untoward events nor of con
ditions related to our natural resources,
nor is it traceable to any of the aillictions
which frequently check national growth
and ,pruejrity. With plenteous crops,
with abundant promise of remunerative
production and manufacture, with
unusual invitation to safe investment and
with SAlinfactory assurance to businej
enterprise, suddenly financial dittrjst
and fear have sprung up an every side.
Numerous moneyed institutions have
ausiwnded because abundant assets were
not immediately available to meet the
demands of frightened depositors. Sur
viving corporations and individuals are
content to keep in hand the money they
are usually anxious to loan, anl those
engaged in legitimate business are sur
prised to find that the securities they
oiler for loans, though heretofore satis
factory, are no longer accepted. Values
supposed to be fixed are fat becoming
conjectural and losses and failures have
invaded every branch of business. I be
lie. e thee things are principally charge
able to congressional legislation touching
the purchase and coinage of silver by the
general government.
THE S1LVEB LAW OF 1S'.0.
The legislation is embodied in a etatate
passed on the 14th day of July, lsiO
which was the culmination of much agi
tation on the subject involved, and which
may be considered a truce after a long
struggle letween the advocates of free
t-ilver coinage and those intending to be
conservative.
Undoubtedly monthly parchaacs by
the government of 4,000,000 ounces cf
silver enforced under the statute were re
garded by those interested in silver pro
duction as a certain guaranty of its in
crease in price. The result, however, has
lieen entirely different, for immediately
following a spasmodic and slight rise the
price of silver began to fii.il afer the pas
sage of the act and lias since reached the
lowest point ever known. This disap
pointing result has led to renewed and
persistent effort in the direction of free
silver coinage.
Meanwnile Dot only are the evil effects
of the operation of the present law con
stantly accumulating, but the result to
which its execution must inevitably lead
is becoming palpable to all who give
least heed to financial subjects.
This law provides that in payment for
tbe 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion
which the secretary of the treasury is
commanded to purchase monthly, there
shall be issued treasury notes redeemable
on demand in gold or silver coin, at the
discretion of the secretary of the treasnry
and that said notes may not be reis
sued, it is, however, declared in the act to
be "the established policy of the United
Slates to maintain the two metals on a
parity with each other upon the present
legal ratio or such ratio as may be pro
vided by law."'
This declaration so controls the action
of the secretary of the treasury as to pre
vent bis exercising the discretion nomi
nally Tested in him, if by such action the
parity txtween gold and silver may be
disturbed. Manifestly a refusal by the
secretary to pay these treasnry notes in
gold, if demanded, would necessarily re
11

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1893.
sult in their discredit and depreciation
as obligations payable only in silver, and
wonld destroy the parity between two
metals by establishing a discrimination
in favor of gold.
Up to the loth day of July, 1S93, these
notes had been issaed on payment of
silver bullion purchases to the amount of
f 147,000,00ft. While all but a very imall
quantity of this bullion remained un
coined and without usefulness in the
treasury, many of the notes eiven in its
purchase have been paid in gold. This
is illustrated by tbe statement that be
tween May 1, 1S'X2, and July 1", lS'.:i, the
notes of this kind issued in payment for
silver bullion hud amounted to a little
more than $54,000,(10J and that during
the same period jf4'J,000.000 were paid to
the treasury in gold for the redemption
of such notes.
IEPLETIS(i THE COLD REMKRVIC
The policy necessarily adopted of pay
ing the notes in gold has not spared the
gold reserve of $100,00.),0(0 long ago set
aside by the government for the redemp
tion of other notes, for this fund basal
ready been subjected to the payment of
new obligations amounting to about
$lo0,tJ0,iJ0 on account of silver pur
chases and has as a consequence for the
first time a. nee its creation been encroach
ed upon. We have thus made the deple
tion of our gold easy and have
tempted other and more appreciative na
tions to add it to their stock. That the
opportunity we have offered has not been
neglected, is shown by the large amounts
of gold which have been recently drawn
from our treasury and exported to in
crease financial etrengtu cf foreign na
tions. The excess of exports of gold over
its imports for the year ending June 30,
hvjo, amounted to more than 37,.0ii,000.
Between the 1st day of July, IS'JO, and
the loth day of July, IS'Jo, the gold coin
and bullion in our treasury decreased
more than $ Io2,0u0,000, while during the
same period the fciivercoin aud bullion
in the treasury increased more than
J147.0oX),000. Unless government bonds
are to be constantly issued and sold to
replenish out exhausted gold, only to be
again exhausted, it is apparent that the
operation of the silver purchase !aw now
in Jorce leads in the direction cf the en
tire substitution of silver for the gold iu
the govcrnuif nt treasury, and that this
must be followed by payment of all gov
ernment oblig.itiona in depreciated sil
ver. A DLsrill'tTIVE POLICY.
At this stage gold and silver must part
company, an 1 the government niu.t fail
in its established policy to maintain the
two metals on a parity with each other.
Given over to the exclusive use of a cur
rency greatly depreciated, according to
standard of the commercial world, we
ouid no longer claim a place auion the
nations of the first class, nor could our
government claim a performance of its ob
ligation, S3 far as such an obligation has
been imposed upon it, t j provide for the
use of the people the best aud safest motl

meet the situation to say that apprehen

is groundless aud that there is no reason
for lata of confidence in the purpose or

hension and lack of confidence, however
caused, is a menace which ought not for

tbe undertaking wo have in hand were
the maintenance of a specific known j
quantity of silver at a parity with gold,
our ability to do so might be estimated
and gauged, anl perhaps in view of our
unparalleled itrowth and resources, might
be favorably passed upon. B it when our
avowed endeavor is to maintain such
parity in regard to an amount of silver
increasing al the rate of fifteen millions
of dollars yearly, with n fixed termina

said that a problem is presented w hose

THE PEOPLE CLAIM PIOTtXTIOS.
The people of the United States are
entitled to a sound and stable currency
and to money recognized aasach on every
exchange and in every market of the
world. Their government has no right
to injure them by financial experiments
opposed to the policy and practice of
other civilized States, nor is it justified
in permitting an exaggerated and un
reasonable reliance on our national
strength and ability to jeopardize the
soundness of the people's money.
W.", WOKKEIH TflE t UIEP VICTIMS.
This matter rises above the plane of
party politics. It vitally concerns every
business and railing and enters every
household in the land. There is one im
portant aspect of the subject which es
pecially should never be overlooked.
At times like the present, when tbe evils
of unsound finance 'threaten us, the
peculator may anticipate a harvest gath
ered from the misfortune of others, tbe
capitalist may protect himself by board
ing or may even find profit in tbe fluctu
ation of values, ; but the wage earner
the first to be injured by tbe depreciated
curoency and the last to receive the bene
fit of its correction is practically defense
less. He relies for work opon the vent
ores of confident and contented capital.
This failing him his condition is without
alleviation for he can neither prey on tbe
misfortunes of others, nor hoard his labor.
One of the greatest statesmen oar coun
try has known, speaking more than 50
years ago w hen a derangement tf the cur
rency had caused commercial distress,
aid : " Tbe very man of all others who
bas the deepest interest in a sonad cur
rency and who suffers most by inLschiev-
QT
ious legislatian in money matters ia the
man who earns his daily bread by his
daily toil."
These words are as pertinent now as on
the day they were uttered, and ought to
impressively remind us that a failure in
discharge of our duty at this time must
especially injure our countrymen who
labor and who, because of their number
and condition, are eutitled to the most
watchful care of their jovernment.
CO.Vl.IlKSS sIIOfLD ACT AT ONt E.
It is of utmost importance that such re
lief as Congress can afford in the existing
situation leaiTorded at once. The maxim,
" He gives twice w ho gives quick iy," is
directly applicable. It may be true that
the embarrassments from which business
of the country is suffering a-isa as much
from evils apprehended as from those
actually existing. We may hope, too that
calm counsels will prevail and that neith
er the capitalists nor the wage earners
will give way to unreasoning panic and
sacrifice their property or their interests
under the influence of exaggerated fears.
Nevertheless, every day's delay is re
moving one of the plain aud principal
cause? of the present state cf things en
larges the mischief already done and in
crease the responsibilty of the gveru
nieut for its existence. Whatever tl.-e
the people have a right to expect front
Congress, they may certainly demand
that legislation condemned by the ordeal
of three years disastrous experience slull
be removed from the statute books as soon
as their representatives can legitimately
deal w ith it. It was my purpose to sum
mon Congress in special sessioa early in
the coming September that we might
enter promptly upon the w ork of tariff
reform, which the true interests of the
country clearly demand, which solare a
majority of the people as shown by their
suffrages desire and expect, aud to the
accomplishment of which every effort of
the present administration is pledged.
But w hile tariff reform has lost nothing
of its immediate and permanent import
ance, and must in the near future engaire
the attention of Congress, it has seetae 1
to me that the financial condition of the
country should at once aud before all
other subjects, be considered by your
honorable body.
I earnestly recommend the prompt re
peal of the provisions of the act ased
Juiy 11, lvij, authorizing the pun lia-e of
silver bullion and that other legislative
action may put beyond all doubt or mis
take the intention and the ability of the
government to fulfill its pecuniary oV:i

about to give birth to another.
Some kind la lit-s, prominent among
whom was Mrs. Isa.at Atkins, caii.e ti

and enabled her to bri lg over the trou

her chil l was bo: n they furnihe 1 her

"You must have a" sewing machine."
one of her friends, observed, but the poor
widow, with a heavy heart, replied that
she d.J not know where it was to come
f'otn.
Tne la !y w ho mad the suggestion
then wrote to Gen. Butler, describing the
widow's condition, and bluntly aske I
bun to gi ve her a sew ing machine,
At this period he was being denounce 1
by tiie w hole rebel Jres3 as the "beatt
Butler a man void cf soul anl human
sympathy," arid his arduous duties were
pressing upon him on every hand; yet
by return of mail he forwarded a check
for a sum of money sufficient to purchase
the machine and leave something ovur.
Sabsequently, Mrs. Butler became inter
ested ia the widow, and helped her with
a liberal hand until she was able to take
care of herself.
Iu an interview with the General afler
the war, the widow, with tears in her
eyes; said to him : .
''Oh, General, it was cruel in you to
kill my poor husband! He was one of
the best men alive, and he loved me bet
ter than his own soul."
This was too much for Butler. Al
though he wasunsually deliberate in his
movements, he sprang to his feet sxd
cried :
"Madam, you don't know what you
are talkie ; about ! If tny ou father
had been caught in such a dirty scrape
I would have hatigtl him. I will Help
you while you need help, but you mast
cot sjieak to me about my duty 1"
He gave her something aud conducted
her to the door with becoming" courtesy.
He considered every woman a lady, by

Spoilng a Good Story.
'An ancient Persian king." said the
doctor, "had brought before hiut a traitor
to the throne, w ho, after a brief hearing,
was condemned to he strangled.
"Mercy, O king!" cried the -unhappy
man.
" "No, res-ponded the kirijf sternly.
'Yoa have conspired against rue, and you
mast pay the penalty with your life.
The clock is now trembling on the stroke
of 12. When it sounds the hoar, you
must bid farewell to earth."
"iuick as thought the prisoner turn

throne, and with a mighty po-h threw it
from its pedestal, and it fell with a crash
to the floor.
"Ibow to your will, O kingr he said
calmly. 'When this clock strikes-1 will
die, and not before.'
"As a tribute to his presence of mind
the king spared tbe prisoner's life, and
after a brief imprisonment save him Lis
liberty.
"'iiite interesting," exclaimed a lady
when the narrator Lad finished.
"Shows that there ia nothing new

"Humph yea," said a small, quiet
man in the corner after the comments
had run their course. Vei y good story,
and I ha'e to spoil it, but I must do it."
"What?" exclaimed the storyteller.
"Yes, most do it. There were no

Looking for Gold.
An imrnediate benefit cf the attack
upon silver results from the new energy
given to the discovery and development
of gold and copper properties. From ail
mining sections cf the State we hear grat
ifying reports in this line. The receipts
of the assay otlice in this city to which
we have referred are substantial evi
dence that gold mining this year will re
tarn at least ?l,0O0,0') more to the State
than we received last year. The indica
tions are tha this amount will be much
larger if the work is carried on with the
success apparent within the last month.
From the Anaconda Siitwlar-l we lea.-n
that new strikes have been made in the
famous French gulch abandoned years
ago because of finds in other sections;
the rich placers in the vicinity of Helena
are being worked on a larger scale than
in recent years, and plans are now under
consideration for large deveh pment w orki
Perhaps the beH sign is found in the ac
tivity cf prospectors. During the last
week location notices cn placer ground
have been tiled ia great numbers, and
hundreds of cieu are now out ia search
of go! 1-prod ucing ground.
This is true not only of Iwis and
Clark counties, which is shown by fig
ures to be one of tbe richest gold regions
in the country, but of all other sections
of the State where gold has been discov
ered. Large deals which contemplate
extensive operations have lately been
made in Malison county, and many
eastern capitalists ar-,- becoming interest
ed in old as we!! as new properties. lie
cent improvements in machinery aud
methods of working have made it possi
ble to mine gol l in the old guh-hes at a
fine profit ; an illustration cf this may
be cited in the success of several large
companies in Alder gulch, where gold
was early discovered in M ontaua and
which w as sup posed to have been work
ed out under the cru le methods of early
days. The rich fields around Pony are
also attracting deserved attention and
will Le rapidly developed. The Butte
papers tell us that prospectors are leav
ing that city by scores and have already
ni.ide fine discoveries in gold and copper
wiu.iu the vicinity of the great cainp.i
Tuis satisfactory outiook is cf si ial

Nights for Courting.
"Or.e doesn't hear as n.u a no about
set nights f-r s-eing one's g.rl,".sald Hen
ry D. J iiies, of Portland. O . at the South
ern. " I aru led to speak of tuis matter
l.e.tr'Dg the excise which a young friend
gave me for not being able to give ni-r-uiu
h attention cf eteniags during my
sojourn here. He said he Lad to call and
see his girl every night. If he missed a
night, he declared, she worried and cried
and carried ou so that she I'oked bad for
a wees af.er, anl he found it dilliult to
explain that be hadn't spent tho time
w ith some other young lady.
" When I was courting not so many
years ai ), either Sun lays, Wednes
days and Fridays were the regular nights
for seeing one's best girl. She expected
you those night and was ready for you.
The other nights of the week she spent
as she pleased, and if you called you sur
prised her. Then Sunday began to get
common, and it was called the servant
girl's night, just as you cail Saturday
night at the theatres "nigger"' night, and
it was cut out cf the courting schedule.
Socn Wednesday and Friday fallowed,
and the lost I re-nember is that Tuesday
and Thursday became the fashionable
etenings for srxioning. I know that my
list best g;rt, w ho is now my wife, made
me change my visits to Tue-day and
Thursday beca-we some working gir's in
the neighborhool had their swains visit
them on Wednesdays and Fridays.
No every night is lover's night, and the
pallor sofa and the front gute have a
great deal more weight to carry and
work to do than they did formerly. I
suppose the scarcity of young men has
something to do w ith the average girl's
selfishness in Weepirg hrr sweet heart to
her-self every night in the week." .v.

dispel the mysticism and reverent awe
which the Chinaman holds for the con

prepared by the native doctors. They
recommend standard remedies which
have long been favorably known ia

after the battle of Gettysburg. Off cn

His eyes were rivited on some object held
tightly clasped in his hands. As we
drew nearer we saw that it was an am
brotype cf two sma'l children. Man
though I was, hardened through those
long years to carnage and bloodshed, the
sight of that man wh. looked on his

who, away eff in a secluded spot, had

by the nettle, J.Guardia, F. K. .11. S.,
states that the pain produced by even the
nice virulent English nettle, Urtit
piluhf era, socn abaUs and disappears.
Not so, however, that from some Indian
specie. Aa experience with the Urtica
crenulata, encountered in the botanic
gardens at Calcutta, is gi.en by IS.
Lesxhcnault : ' On of the leaves slightly
touched the first three tinkers of my left
hand ; at the time I only perceived a
alight pricking, to which I paid no at
tention, but the pain continued to in
crease, and in an hour it had became
intolerable ; it seemed as if some one was
rubbing my fingers with a hot iron,
though no sAellitg or inrfiamation
could be seen. The pain rapidly spread
along the arm as far as the armpit. I
was then seized with frequent sneering,
with a copious running of the nose, as if
I had caught a violent cold in the bead;
soon after I experienced a painful con
traction of the back of the jaw.
I continued to suffer for two days, and
the pain returned in full force whenever
I put my hand into water. I did not
finally lose it for nine days. There is
another spe t ies of nettle in Timor, tbe
effects of which are said by the natives
to last for a year, or even to cause death.
Girls cf Thirty.
The postponing of marriage and the
broader education of woman has brought
into existence a clan that did not for
merly exist, namely, the class of "girls"
between eighten and thirty. They are
bright, educated, capable women, who
are awaiting marriage, and instead of
being given an interest in life and pro
vided with something to do they are
la-.in bed into society w ith the idea that
the propier thing for them to do is to
abandon themselves to the pursu.t of
pleasure. One result of this is that we
have women after marriage taking very
unkindly to the necesHary slowness of
domestic duties. They live for thrills-,
sensations and excite menL As these can
not be obtained at home, the resort to ex
pedients which eventually prove fata! U
the real and noble idea of marriage. The
upper-class girl is becoming a lamentably
self-indulging creature, who spends the
very prime of her life in an incessant
round of amusement The great leisure
class "of cultivated women cannot be held
guiltless if it evade individual responsi
bility and squanders the benefits of birllt
and education on its own amusement.

Carbonic Acid in the Dairy.
Since solidified carbonic acid became
a commercial product it has proved use
ful for many purposes, two recent ap
plications being of general interest. A
very simple process preserves butter by
its aid. The butter is placed ia an iron
vefsel or can be provided with a pipe
and tap, by means of which the carbonic
acid is injected under a pressure of six
atmospheres, driving out the air, and in
this condition the butter will remain
perfectly fresh for four or five weeks, or
longer. Ia the second application the
carbonic acid is forced into whey. The
liquid is thus converted into an agreeable
effervescing beverage, which will remain
tit for use fur six weeks.
