MAYOR Pingree, of Detroit, feels that he has solved the problem of relieving the poor of that city. He recommended hat the vacant lots of the city and the adjacent country uot in use, be turned over to the paor of that city to be cultivated in potatoes and other vegetables. The example is to be followed by Buffalo, N. Y., and other cities. It can well be followed wherever there are men who have enongh idle time to cultivate a space of ground. There are men around Greenfield who, if they would spend in cultivating an acre cf ground somewhere the time they now spend in loafing, they would raise enough vegetabl to do them and not have to depend on the township for aid. The Lord helps those who help themselves.
GERMANY has become thoroughly aroused on .the subject of bimetallism, and is demanding an international double standard. Count Mirbach, a leading conservative and close friend of Emperor Williams, says:
Bimetallism in Germany is not any longer a currency question, but a universal, national, oconomic one. It stands close to the at present most important problem of the German inner policy, viz., the salvation and maintenance of German agriculture. The distress of the farmer forces the necessity upon us to secure a standard and more stable power of purchase of silver.
It is foolishness to expect England to favor bimetallism, as her interests, that is those of the capitalists and controllers, are against it. The English bond-hold-ers and stock-holders have their investments in every country in the world. What they want is a golden stream flowing into their coffers, and then that gold have the greatest possible purchasing power. The other countries, however, can and should unite on bimetallism and then make such trade discriminations against England and any other countries that continue to stand out against bimetallism until they would gladly come into the union. Gold is too dear and sweat and blood too cheap at the present time. The people who have labor and the products of labor for sale are all directly interested in the money system of this conntry having a broad and substantial basis. Trying to make all the labor, all the products of labor, all the land and improvements, all the stock, and in fact all the business of tJie country rest on the gold standard is like trying to stand a pyramid on the small end. It cannot be done with safety. Something will topple and there will be a crash. What the world needs is the free coinage of both gold and silver.
Conductor Crushed by the Cars and Very Seriously Injured.
Cy While making a coupling on the west bound local freight at 2:30 p. m. Monday, the bumpers slipped by each other, and *^-v Conductor Charles Bosserman was caught fcetween the car sills and his chest badly crushed. He was taken to the office of
Dr. N. P. Howard, Jr., but at the request of the railroad company, was turned over to Dr. Braner, their surgeon here. Upon examination it was found that no bon^s had been broken and unless he is crushed n. side more than can be determined now he will recover soon.' Dr. Bruner put
txi
to bed aud he ?ooa went to sle«p.

A Public Library Boom.
Mrs. Browning, the city librarian of Indianapolis, says that a library boom has stricken Indiana. In a large number of Hoosier towns the citizens are scratching for cash wherewith to purchase volumes for public libraries. Among them are Delphi, Michigan City, Shelbyville and Greensburg. Mrs. Browning has received a large number of letters regarding the establishment of libraries. She says the present law governing their establishment in smaller towns is of no account, and if they are established at all it will probably have to be done mostly by private donations. Greenfield is sadly in need of a good public library, and we believe when the new school house is built, a suitable room should be set aside for a library and public reading room. There are enough pablic spirited citizens in this city to furnish enough books for a splendid library. It would be a help to our entire city.
