WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WasuincTon, D. 0., Nov 2, '97-
Secretary Gage now owns up
to the gold bond scheme, which
so many Republicans took the
trouble to deny when it was pub-
hicly stated « short time ago that
it would form the foundation of
the administrationTs attempt to
secure financial legislation from
Congress at the coming session.
Mr: GageTs statement to the Cab-
inet has been made public, prob-
ably with the Lope that it will
meet fayor with the people to a
snfficient extent to influence Sen-
ators who are naturally opposed
to such a scheme, which, for
bamboozling purposes, Mr. Gage
calls anti-radical in charactér,
This country fought the greatest
war of modern times without
finding it necessary to issue a
single gold bond, yet, now, in a
time of peace and boasts of con-
tinued and increasing prosperity,
the administration will ask Oop-
~gress to authorize the issue of a
sufficient quantity of gold bonds
to refund the entire bonded in-
debtedness of the country and to
add a hundred or two million to
the gold reserve fund. Some ot
the arguments advanced in favor
of the change are little short of
ludicrous. For instance, when
Mr. Gage says that making our
entire bonded indebtedness pay-
ablein gold owould strengthen
and confirm the public credit
and put us in a position to com-
mand the markets ofTthe world
for our securities on the most ad-
vantageousterms.� Every school
boy knows that we already occu-
py that position ; that the securi-
ties of no country on earth are in
greater demand all over the world
than those of the United States.
Mr. Gage repeats the Cleveland
Carlisle recommendation that the
greenbacks and Treasury Notes
be retired, and offers as a sub--
stitute the probable incraase of
National Bank notes that would
follow the adoption of his recom-
mendation to allow National
Banks to be established with a
capital of $25,000 in towns of Jess
that 2,000 inhabitants and to
allow all National banks to issue
notes to the par value of the
bonds they have deposited witb
the government to secure their
circulation. Taken all in all, the
financial recommendations of the
~present administration bear a
close resemblance to those of
_ the Oleveland-Carlsle regime,
and the following words written
to Mr. Gage, after telling about
ROW on account of bountifui
_ Grops, ete. indicate that the ad-
~Mnluistration might even follow

Congress: oUnfortunately these
good cenditions cannot be assur-,
ed to us: Commerce and, a
try, sensitive to all unfavorable
events, and watebful with anxicty|
against dangers as yet unseen,
need for their fall rehabilitation
from past reverses and depres"
sions a renewec confidence that
the governments finances are to
be firmly placed on stronger and
more enduring foundations than
now exist.� {nother words, the
establishment of the single gold
standard by law, instead of by
the will of an administration, a3
at present, is demanded. The
difference ~between demanding
and getting from Congress will
soon be apparent from the admin-
istration.
How the Dingley tariff law acts
to reduce our trade with Mexico
"trade which naturaily belongs
to us, is shown by the following
remarks of Mr. E. i. Stillson,
now in Washington, who has
been in Mexico for fitteen years,
as manager of a Philadelphia
silyer mining company: oThis
country, Lihink. is not pursuing
exactly the right pojicy in its re-
lations to Mexico. We ought, by
right of contiguity to have almost
a moncpoly of the trade -of the
sister republic. Every body
knows that instead of buying the
bulk of its imports from the
United States that Mexico pre-
fers te get them of France and
Germany. The reason for this is
that we have put a high tariff on
Mexican products, and so the
Diaz government think it proper
to get back at us by levying a
stiff duty on American wares.
The goods of France and other
toreign countries are not so
heavily taxed, and therefore
crowd yankee products out of the
market. As long as we levy such
high tribute against them, re
may expect t see their trade
almost moropolized by trans-
Atlantic countries.�
Notwithstanding the jollying
that Attorney General McKenna
has been publicly giving himself
for his work 1n helping the Hunt-
ington syndicate make sure of
geiting the Union Pacific Rail-
road at a price admitted to be
many millions below the actuai
value of the property, he is said
of that coveted seat onthe bench
of U. 8. Supreme Court, to which
he will be nominated in a few
weeks, He knows that there are
a number of Senators who are
thoroughly posted on this whole
U. P. buriness, and he has a
dread lest they should see fit to
either hold up or deteat his nom-
ination to succeed Justice Field,
as a pucishmentfor his counec-
tian with the deal.

Johnson, sixteen years old, while
digging for fish bait on Beaver
Islaad, in the Southern part of the

is not known when or by whom
the money was buried, or if it was
the proceeds of an express rob-

The religion that cost. nothing,

Faultfinding is one of the sur-
est marks of a backslider.
True Christianity always works
Well between Sundays.

Sion that the Bible is true.
The devil trembles when he
finds a good mau on his knees.
Things said and done in loye
always bring good fruit.
Kead the Bible much and you
will always find it new.
A good prayer meeting always
bagins before the bell rinys.

wrong than we have to do wrung
The devil leads the man whois
not living for seme good object.
The smallest man on the face of
the earth is the one who sees only

Under a decision of the Su"
pzeme Court of California it has
been established that a woman
wav be compelled to support her
busoand. This ruling of the court
was Coptitmed bv the best legal
authority of the state, and was
based upon peculiar circum-
stences in the case. It was that
of an elderly ccupie living in Los
Angeles county. The husband is
so aged and infirm as to be un-
able to provide for himeelf, and
not long ago was deserted alto-
gether by his wife. He brought
suit against he: for maintenance
before the Superior Court of the
county, and obtained « judgment,
ordering the payment to himself.
~fa monthly allowance of $24.
Farther than thut, after ao ap-
peal, the jadgment has been af-
firmed by the Supreme court of
the State.

Pretty Young Woman Driver Wins a
Race in Maine.
Here is a woman, young and_pretty,
who can drive fast horses with all the
airy abandon of Budd Doble or any of his
compatriots. Her name is Miss Leota
Elliott, and she lives in Danforth, Me.
Who would ever suspect the staid and
dignified old Pine Tree state of pro-

In the races at Pittsfield, Me., a few
~weeks ago there were four of them, but | ab

the better of all of them was Miss
liott. ek
he is only 21 years old, and is the
very antithesis of Lawson N. Fuller, | Sm
the old gentleman driver of New York
city. Mr. Fuller leans forward and
seldom takes his eyes from his team.
Miss Elliott leans back as easily as
though she were in a boudoir chair,
with each little foot poised on the bar
in front of the seat. Sheseems to know
by instinct just what the horse is doing,
and looks about her with the utmost
unconcern,
oI can feel what a trotter is doing
through the lines, just as a helmsman
can feel his craft hauling on the rud-
der,� says Miss Elliott.
The race won by the woman driver
was the first ever trotted on a circuit
track under national rules with women
~as drivers; Miss Elliott won the race
easily,
_Her opponents were Mrs. Sarah Elise
Crosby, of West Brewster, Mass., 30
