BonflflnilfiDCI of this finsLnni rrknriiti-in
and yet not a thing has been done to al
leviate the conditions. True, an attempt
has been made to pass a revenue bill and
a bond issuing bill, bat it is well known
to every man who voted for them that
they contained no more than a measure
of temporary relief, and even that is ques
tionable, i Why is not something attemp
ted Which will settle the problem perma
nently. If the house really wants to do
y thing let it prove it by passing the
uats bill,
MOW IT WORKS.
The greenback redemption process and
its results as applied to the treasury and
the country is thus described by the
American:
Twenty-three months ago the gold
reserve stood at $ 65.000,000, on Decem
ber 31st last at but $63,875,963. One
hundred snd eighty-two millions of gold
have been added in the interim. It has
gone, been paid out in redemption of
greenbacks and treasury notes. It has
been replaced in the treasury in the
shape of the paper of the government.
The issues of bonds have failed of their
ostensible purpose, that is to keep gold
in the treasury, as could have been
readily foreseen, and as the new issue,
must now fail. Artificial means cannot
keep gold In the treasury.-- To pat it
there by borrowing is but to increase
the demands for redemption, and lead to
greater withdrawals than would .other
wise take place. To borrow gold abroad
and to bring it to America is to locally
inflite prices, to stimulate imports and
check exports, resulting in an accumula
tion of an adverse balance of trade, such
as we have experienced after the bond
issues of the past year, an increased de
mand for gold for export, and an in
creased drain on the gold reserve.
The f 182,000,000 in gold, has gone as
the hundred million or more now about
to be borrowed will inevitably go, but
certainly it did not leave a void in the
treasury. The gold was replaced by
greenbacks and treasury notes, and these
were added to the cash resources of the
treasury. So while the issue of bonds
failed of their purpose, they did add
182,000,000 to the cash resources
of the treasury. In Bhort, the at
tempts to borrow gold have
resulted in borrowing greenbacks and
-treasury notes. Half of the United States
legal tender notes and treasury notes of
1890 thus received by the treasury, have
been reissued, and are now outstanding;
half are still in the treasury. The $90,
000,000 or so of treasury notes and green
backs still in the treasury, represent an
addition to the resources of the govern
ment; a decrease of actual indebtedness
of like amount,
And the 190,000,000 or so outstanding;
why are they outstanding? Surely they
were not given away. They were paid
away to meet the expenses of the govern
ment, because during the twenty-three
months since the first bond issue, receipts
have failed to meet the expenditures of
the government by $9,000,000, and, it
being necessary to meet this indebted
nnss, the greenbacks and treasury notes
redeemed with the gold borrowed, were
used for this purpose.
When the first bonds were issued, in
February, 1894, the gold reserve stood at
$65,000,000, and the net cash balance at
less than $20,000,00a Today the gold re
serve stands at less than $65,000,000, and
the net cash balance, chiefly greenbacks
and treasury notes redeemed with the
borrowed gold, at $110,000,000. Thus he
notes received in return for the gold bor
rowed, to an amount of over $180,000,000,
have been used, $90,000,000 to meet the
deficit, and $90,000,000 are still in the
treasury.
The greenbacks and treasury notes are
not given away. If not required to meet
the deficiency in revenue, they would ac
cumulate in the treasury. A3 it is, $90,
000,000 have been used to meet the ex
penses of the government, $90,000,000
are in the treasury, and the government
is paying running expenses with the
notes received in exchange for the gold
so arbitrarily and unnecessarily borrowed.
The Sound Currency league, alias the
gold propaganda, is using President
Cleveland's message on financial matters
as a campaign document If they want
ed to influence anybody they should have
managed in some way to disguise the au
thorship. Cleveland's opinions are not
regarded with any great degree of re
spect by the American people. They
have had too bitter an experience of put
ting them in practice already to desire
any continuation of the same.
Canadians of tbe Border.
Eastport, Me., with its 6,000 inhabi
tants, is the New York, the London, the
Paris of Campobello and the adjacent
Canadian coast. They must buy and
sell at Eastport and they depend upon
it for everything. Yet there is a gulf
deeper and wider than Pa6samaquoddy
bay between the two peoples. The Cana
dians of the borders are always more
Canadian than those living in Montreal
or Quebec. All Canadians would shriek
their denial of any jealousy of the
United States but until they are all
made over and made different, as Mrs.
Pozen says, they cannot help being
jealous of it. A small country for Can
ada is email in wealth and population,
though vast in extent cannot regard
with indifference a great, rich coun
try which borders it and jealousy
springs up as naturally as the sparks
fly upward. Lewiston Journal.
"Pipe Stories."
"There is one favorite Chicago ex
pression that I don't hear in Washing
ton so often," said a correspondent
from the Windy City to a Post man.
"It Is 'pipe stories as synonym for fake
or canard or ghost stories.
"Where doea it come from? Oh, it
came from the West, along with the
Chinese, and I suppose you will get it
here when Chinamen and opium joints
become more numerous. There are
lots of white hop fiends In Chicago. If
they get hold of a green reporter or a
green policeman they are liablf; to have
them chasing all over the universe at
dead hours of the night looking for
suppositional events and their menda
cinations are known to the police as
'pipe stories' or 'talking pipe.' That is
the symbol in Chicagoese for anything
that is without foundation in. fact.

MONEY TO THE LIBRARIES
Some Enormous Bequests by Public
Spirited Men.
HEW YORK'S GREAT COSSOLIDATED
Library Net So Large Tiioae of
Boston, Cambridge or Cbteaffo.
Chicago, Jan. & The consolidation
of the Astor and Lenox libraries with
the Tilden library fund gives to New
York city one of the most richly en
dowed libraries in the United States.
Tbe Tilden fund is about $1,700,000.
The Lenox library is worth $2,000,000.
The Astor family gave to the Astor li
brary more than $1,000,000. This makes
the value of tbe consolidated library
nearly $5,000,000, which is the greatest
endowment in the history of American
libraries. The only library which ap
proaches these in this respect "is the
Newberry library, in Chicago, to which
was left property which has been ap
praised at various amounts from $2,
000,000 to $3,000,000. There are less
than 60 libraries in the United States
having an endowment as great as $50.

Add together all the endowments in
excess of $50,000 which belong to the
libraries of the United States, and you
have a grand total of about $12,600,000,
of which the endowments of the New
berry library, Ohiaago, and the consoli
dated Astor-JLeox;Tilden library, Kew
York, have nearly two-thirds that is,
those two libraries together are richer
twice told than all the other great libra
ries in tbe United States combined.
Endowments and Actual Value.
Of coarse this question of endow
ments, in most cases, does not take ioto
consideration the bequests of books m;ide
to libraries or the actnal value of the
matter on the library shelves. Many of
the great libraries of the country have
been made rich without an endowment
by the liberality of some bibliophile
The largest and richest libraries are not
always those with large endowments.
The Newberry library, with all its
wealth, is still a comparatively unim
portant institution. Walter L. New
berry, whose will gave to this library
one-half his large estate, was a Chicago
merchant who was born in Windsor,
Conn., and who received a good early
education and was intended for West
Point. Most of the endowments for
libraries and many of those for the great
universities have come from successful
merchants who were not graduates of
the colleges.
Harvard and Yale.
The Harvard library, which stands
with the Boston library among the great
book collections of tbe country, has re
ceived its supplies from a hundred dif
ferent sources. Its early benefactors
were Governor Winthrop, Richard Bel
lingham, John Lightfoot, Sir Kenelm
Digby and Richard Baxter. In 1677 the
library collection was doubled by a be
quest from Rev. Theophilus Oale, a
learned philosopher. United States Sen
ator Christopher Gore of Massachusetts
gave $100,000 to tbe library, and Gore
hall is named in his honor. E. P. Green
leaf, a Boston miser, left $500,000 to
the college, of which a part was to bo
devoted to the establishment of the
Greenleaf department in the library.
James Walker, once president of the col
lege, bequeathed to it $15,000 and his
valuable library. Francis C. Gray, a
Boston attorney, left S, 000 engravings
to the library and a fund of $16,000 to
maintain them, and his nephew added
$25,000 to the bequest for the purchaso
of books.
Rev. Peter Bulkley, the founder cl
Concord, Mass., contributed his own li
brary, valuable for that day, in 1659.
Israel Thorndike, a Boston merchant
who knew only the advantages of a
common school education, presented to
the library the collection of 10,000 maps
and 4,000 books on American subjects
made at Hamburg by C. D. Ebeling, a
German scholar.
Yale received benefits for its library
from varied sources. George Berkeley,
a British clergyman who came to this
country with a view to establishing a
sectarian edncational institution in tbe
Bermudas, and who abandoned that
idea because his English friends failed
to make the necessary contributions,
sent to Yale about 150 years ago what '
was at that time the finest library in
tbe United States. Mr. Berkeley also
gave to Yale college a fine farm, which?
is still the property of the institution, J
George Brinley of Boston, a collector of;
Americana, divided $25,000 worth of j
books among several inptitntions, andj
Yale was fortunate enough to get a good'
share of them. Jeremiah Dumnier, a
Boston scholar, gave to the library 800
volumes. Jared Linsley of Connecticut
and his uncle Noah established fan da
for the purchase of books ior the library.
Lowell Mason gave to the i library his
valuable collection of music literature.
Other Great Benefactions.
Lehigh university, at Sonth Bethle
hem, Pa., was more fortunate than any
other educational institution in the en
dowment of its library. Asa Packer,;
who founded the university, giving it
$500,000, left by his will $1,500,000 to
the college and nearly $500,000 to the
college library. :
Cornell college library received a gift
of $100,000 from Ezra Cornell, $150,
000 for a building from John McGraw
of Ithaca and a collection of 80,000 vol
umes and 10,000 pamphlets worth
$100,000 from Andrew D. White, the
first president of the college.
The University of Rochester received
$100,000 from Hiram Sibley, the finan
cier who helped Morse get an appropria
tion from congress to test the telegraph,1
and who was the first president of the
Western Union Telegraph company.
George Peabody was more generous
to libraries than any other American.
He gave $30,000 to found the Peabody
institute and library at Danvers, Mass.,
afterward Peabody, and subsequently
$170,000 to the same institution. He
gave $50,000 to found a library at North
Danvers. He gave $150,000 to the Pea
body museum and library at Salem,
Mass. These sums were in addition to
the millions he devoted to the cause of
ednoation in Massachusetts and in the
south.
Silas Bronson, a native of Middle-
bury, Conn., left an enduring monu
ment to his name at Waterbury, Conn. ,
in the library which he founded, and
which bears his name. He gave to this
library $200,000. He was a retired New
York merchant at the time of his death.
Bangor, Me., owes its Publio library
to the liberality of Samuel P. Hersey,
at one time a member of congress, who
bequeathed $100,000 to found this insti
tution. West Bay City, Mich., has to
thank H. W. Sage of Connecticut for a
library established with an endowment
of $30,000. Charles E. Forbes, who was
county attorney at Northampton, left
about the same amount, his entire for
tune, to found the Northampton library.
- E. B. Morgan, a New York congress
man, was one of the benefactors of the
Auburn Theological seminary. With
William E. Dodge he bnilt, at a cost of
$40,000, the structure in which the
library is housed. Mr. Morgan was a
philanthropist in other directions.
The Philadelphia library, which was
founded by Benjamin Franklin, was in
debted early in its career to James Lo
gan, once private secretary to William
Penn, for 2,000 volumes, a large library
at that time. Later Logan's nephew pre
sented to the library 1,300 yolumes, and
William Mackenzie gave to it 5,000 vol
umes more.
The library of the Long Island His
torical society is indebted to George I.
Seney, the banker, who gave $100,000
to it. Mr. Seney 's benefactions have
amounted to $1,000,000.
The Lenox library of New York,
while claiming an endowment of only
$300,000, was actually worth $2,000,000
when James Lenox, its founder, con
veyed it to the city of New York. The
Astor library was founded on a bequest
of $400,000 in the will of the first John
Jacob Astor. His son William B. added
bequests of $550,000 value, and the
present John Jacob Astor has increased
the benefaction $250,000.

WHO CHANGED FIRST
Every one told Amy that Dick was self
ish. Hemother told her so, sighing, and
adding a kindly hope that "this" might
change him. Her elder sister, who was
married, told her the same thing, adding
that all men were selfish, so it didn't make
much difference which one a woman mar
ried. Her brother told her so scoffingly,
and even Dick's mother said:
- "I'm afraid you'll find Dick a bit cap
tious, dear. I suppose we've spoiled him
a little; but, of course, you'll be only too
glad to devote yourself to making him
happy."
And Amy smiled and sighed and blush
ed very prettily, which was a way she had
at IS.
They had been engaged for about six
months when Dick felt that his native vil
lage did not afTord sufficient scope for his
talents. He would go to New York, ho
announced, make a great name and- a
large fortune for himself and return to
bear Amy to the metropolis later. Amy
wept when he went away, and sang her
ballads with a sob in her throat for weeks
afterward, and worked diligently on her
household linens, and wrote Dick long
letters in reply to his brief ones.
In about a year Dick wrote her that he
felt that their engagement had been a mis
take, insinuating that a larger life and
moro brilliant opportunities than she was
fitted to share awaited him. Then Amy
gave up her ballads entirely, and put away
tho household linens, and wept in the soli
tude of her room every night. She told
him in the abandonment of her grief that
she could never change, and that if the
time ever came when he wearied of tho
applause of the world and the glitter of
life and thougnt longingly of her he
might come back to her, sure of finding
her the same.
Amy's tears had blotted that testimony
to her own constancy, and for months her
sobs would not let her sing any song with
"come back" in its refrain. Even Dick
was moved and put the letter away, where
he might refer to it whenever his self es
teem needed bracing.
When Miss Annesley refused him, he
read it and thought of going back to Amy
at once, but prido forbade. Besides he
didn't care enough for Miss Annesloy to
make her rejection a blow requiring im
mediate soothing. When he was dis
charged from The Monthly Merrymaker,
he came very near returning to Amy, but
a position on The Magazine of Culture re
stored his contentment somewhat. So
for two or three years he did not really
need Amy.
Yet he was conscious when he met with
the snubs and failures he could not avoid
in a great city that her sweet air of un
swerving admiration would have been
balm to his wounds; that he needed her
belief in his powers to compensate for the
utter indifference of the great world. And
when even the pursuit of pleasure palled
upon him he began to long for her to bring
him comfort and happiness.
One night, whon the world bad been
unusually heartless, when he had been
ignored socially by some jono and snubbed
professionally by some one else, and when
Miss Anneslny'8 successor had been as un
kind as Miss Annosley herself, he wan
dered into a theater where a farce was
playing one of the farces where the play
is a peg upon which variety "artists"
hang their "specialties."
He yawned through it for awhile. Then
a woman came out and sang a ballad a
ballad of Amy's a Scotch song he had
not heard for six years.
He went homo and read her letter again.
Then he went back to the village he had
not visited for so many years. He was
happy in the thought of the joy he was
going to bring to Amy. He hummed the
song joyously:
Ye banks and braes o' bonny Doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chaunt, yo little birds.
And I aae full, sae full o' care?
He fairly whistled it as the train rushed
along, and he pictured Amy sitting in the
twilight singing to him again.
He found her sitting in the firelight,
humming. She was plump and placid,
and her girlish sentimentality had changed
to matronly sweetnoss. She was waiting
for the minister, whom she had married
and who, as she explained, had consented
to live in the old home "because of moth
er." She wanted Dick to wait to meet
the minister and see the baby, who was
taking a late afternoon nap. And she
was honestly pained and surprised when
Dick raved at her treachery and stormed
about her fickleness.
"isut, uick, she protested, "you
changed first."
"Changed?" cried Dick. "If I had,
changed, would I be here?"
Always afterward he attributed his fail
ures and his failings to the fact that his
life had been blighted by a woman's falsi
ty. And he gained much sympathy from
credulous young girls because of his sad
story. Amy of the ballads became more
or less famous as a sort of ' ' belle damo
sans merci," and Dick's most successful
book had for a heroiue a sweet faced girl,
with a sad voice and soulful eyes and no
soul discernible elsewhere, for it is a very
ill wind that cannot be made to fly some
kite. New York World.
