And again: ' .The other reason no self-re-vnecting writer on' money should tae the expression "free coinage of both meters" is that it is a dis honest phrase of Bryanism, used for no other purpose than to con vey an1 impression that all the lllveritea want is fair play for each metal the same privilege for silver as for gold."

A banker said to a Broad-Axe representative the other day that ''when be wished to know anything about finances he would go to a man that knew something about financiering and not to a farmer or a newspaper . nun for such knowledge." We prcsumo this gentleman thinks the men that make the money know nothing about tho use of money after they make it, but that the fellow who never produces a dollar like the banker, is he who is the true financier.

Sounds Snakey. In a letter from Capt Moon of Cj C now at Manila, tho Captain says: "By tho way, we have no silvcr ites in the iUiilippines; you go down town with a twenty dollar gold pieceahd buy a box of fine cigars at a cost of 11.50 Mexican (for 50 cigars j and you get in change $33.cO Mexican or Spanish silver, never any gold. Imagine yourself running around the streets with that silver in your pockets, but the people here do it, having a grain bag slung over their shoulders to carry it in," How the Captain can make it out that there are no silverites in Manila, when he shows that the people there go about the streets j with a grain bag thrown over their : shoulders to carry their silver in, we cannot see. We should think they are silverites with a veno- ante. ' I ! Durinz the past threo years, dur inj Rev Rose's pastorate, the the purpoao for which it is in Christian church of this city has . tended.

There a. e 373 street crossings, and 220 alley crossings During the last year 62,102 feet of lumber was used in repairing sidewalks and crossings; 780 loads of gravel and crushed rock were placed on the streets; 414 feet of tile was laid and one new bridge built.
