TUESDAY. MAY 23. 1809.
OUR COUNTRY s First. Last and Forever.
Tub movement to chango the
Schuylkill Traction Company's tracks
from Coal street to Centre stroet
should be encouraged, thus obviating
much of the dissatisfaction that now
exists as to the condition of the
former thoroughfare.
Thk 3rd NtbrtiBka Regiment is now
clamoring to be sent to the Philip
pines. The attitude of the successor
of Col. William Jennings Bryan is in
quite obvious contrast to the fighting
proclivities of the silver orator dur
ing his brief career in the volunteer
service.
Thk praise which Archbishop Ire
land is receiving in Europe for his
eulogy of Joan of Arc is not the first
given him for a treatment of the
same subject. The first prize of the
many ha captured during his school
boy days was for a paper on the
Maid of Orleans.
According to report the Spanish
clergy in Cuba and Porto Rioo
bitterly criticise the American author
ities for introducing in the island
the idea that marriage is a civil con
tract, and are still more indignant
because the new laws recognize the
possibility of divorce.
Thk German-American who has
just got himsejf into prison in Ger
many for applying an offensive
epithet in that country to the Kaiser
will hardly arouse much sympathy in
the United States. This person ought
to have known, and doubtless did
know, that no such liberty to abuse
the head of the state is allowed in
Germany aa there is in this country.
Thk Presbyterian Church of the
United States Is to be congratulated
on the announcement made by the
Moderator that with the exception of
the Freedmen's Board, all the boards
of the church have closed the church
year without any indebtedness. The
return of prosperity to the country
has evidently had its effect upon the
financial condition of the church.
Only a. few years ago, almost if not
all of its boards were struggling with
a debt which was hampering it in its
work.
Jons O. Ulbich, Esq., brought to the con
vention a big batch of pamphlets containing a
synopsis of the speeches mado by him through
out New York State in 1806 In behalf of
'William Jennings Bryan and the Chicago plat
form. The pamphlets were eagerly devoured
by the members of the cpmmittee. Chronicle
The manner in which the members
of the Democratic Standing Commit
tee "devoured" the pamphlets is not
made clear; by our contemporary. It
is Inferred, however, that the masti
cating process occurred previous to
the rejection on the part of the com
mittee of Mr. Ulrich's resolutions en
dorsing Bryan and the Chicago plat
form. We would suggest that the
doses be reduced hereafter.
Currency Reform.
It is understood that the House
Republican Caucus Committee, ap
pointed to frame a scheme of currency
reform, has agreed upon a measure
along the following lines :
The redemption of all obligations
of the government in gold on de
mand.. .
Greenbacks, when once redeemed
tor gold, to be reissued only for gold.
Permitting national banks- to issue
notes of the par value of their gov
ernment bonds deposited in the
Treasury, instead of ninety per cent.,
as at present.
Permitting the minimum capital of
national banks to be twenty-dye
thousand dollars, instead of fifty
thousand dollars, as at present.
This plan is much less comprehen
sive than ardent advocates of general
currency revision have urged, but
was adopted because harmonious
agreements on it was possible which
was not the case when more radical
meABUres were suggested.

"Last winter I had a bad cold and

and muscle. I was sick and felt as
though I was coming down with typhoid
fever. It was no doubt a bad case of
grippe. Mr. E. P. Budge gave me a bot
tle of Brazilian Balui, saying he was
sure it would help me. The relief was
almost instantaneous. It quickly
stouoed mv couirh nnd took the prinne

robbed of jewels valued at $25,000, and
that the head of the statue had been

for conducting the Toledo gas plant

The city clork Is authorized to adver

without cost to tho city, and turn over
the profits to the treasury of Toledo.
The advertising for bids Is raeroly to
comply with the law. The gas plant of
Toledo in valued at fl.500,000 and has
never been n paying venture, but
Mayor Jones has advocated this plan
as a solution of tne difficulty.
