THE PISE COUNTY DEMOCRAT B V M. HcC. STOOPS. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1893. Tiie Geld Ceuspiraey. It !* becoming possible to nnder«iand wliat our Wall street friends are attempting to do with the treasury, which ia-Jiow completely under their control and which will remain so as long as it U controlled byMr. Foster, of Fostoria. Au iuevitahle effect of the Sher- ' man act for storing silver bullion, leaving it ancoined, and paying oat gold in exchange for the bullion certificates of deposit, is to deplete the treasury of gold. And it is hardly doubtful imt that there is a strong Wall street combination working iii connection with the Sherman act to force an increase aud perpetuation of the national debt. Under the resumption act the secretary of the treasury has power to borrow money by issuing new bonds rather than allow specie payment ttf be refused ou treasury paper when presented for payment. It has been Foster’s policy.to pay out nothing but gold on treasury paper presented for > redemption in specie, and as, under the Sherman act, ho is constantly issuing new paper representing deposits of silver bullion, the very fact of our increasing wealth in silver increases the “gold stringency”—as the conspirators intended that it should. To make paper issued on silver a means of constantly increasing the demand for gold is a plan that would have been adopted only by fools or knaves, and cverydevelopmcnt in tire history of this most remarkable deal shows that its knavery is almost if not quite as great as its folly-. The present purpose of thd men who are controlling Foster to keep raiding the gold .in the treasury until new bonds are issued. This is as clear as anything can be. The exportation gold is not cjue entirely to this cause, but the determination to force a new bond issue and to prevent bonds already outstanding from beiug met at maturity is very plainly one of the most Influential motives with the men who would rather ruin thousands than lose their • own hold on the country’s finances. Fortunately it is not necessary to issue new bonds. Fortunately we are in a position to stop the “drain of gold” at once. If these Wall street conspirators kept raiding the gold reI serve until every dollar of it had been drawn out it would make no difference except in the minds of people who arc ignorant enough to be frightened at It—especially liable to be frightened because they are too ignorant to understand it. We could do very well even if the gold reserve were run down to a few millions.,The country wtiuld not be the less prosperous oivrnat accoun* and it might become more so through ib I

. ivsiue irom me gout reserve, wt hare In the treasury s®ecle and bullion enough to redeem every dollar ol our paper that can be presented. The Sherman act provides that the treasury notes issued on silver bullion can be redeemed in silver at the option of the secretary of the treasury Whenever the secretary of the treasury wishes to stop gold from going out, all he has to do is to redeem in silver coin the speculative warehouse receipts he is issuing on silver bullion. He is under no obligation Whatever to redeem this dishonest *'• and fraudulent speculative paper in gold, and the fact that he docs sc Stakes it dishonest and fraudulent by making the bullion on which it it based a mere commodity, the deposit of which in the treasury increases the demand for gold. This conspiracy has already succeeded so far that it is causing timid business men to feel alarmed, and where snch immense amount of credit business are done on an altogethci insufficient supply of gold it is possiOnr paper currency is redeemable in coin, including the notes issued on silver bullion under the Sherman act. If coin—silver and gold coin, instead -of gold ouly—Is not used to meet such obligations, the country will be alway|( liable to be plundered and oppressed by snch conspiracies as that formed by the unscrupulous speculators responsible for the Sherman acl and far the management of the treasury under it. While the News and Press are having « little skirmish over the county commissioners allowing themaelvea pay for doing some little outside business, and without drawing blood or letting the people know anything in regards thereto. We do not want to be impertinent in the matter, but while the Press lias taken ‘ the bold staud that it has, without - explaining anything, will it please inform the people how the board ol commissioners build bridges with.out letting contracts or having the matters pertaining thereto spread upon the county records? There is not a scratch of a pen in regard to the five bridges, now beiug built, on ibe county record. book. Will the Press explain the action? If there are such contracts betweeu the commissioners and ihe bridge companies why are they not put on record and ihe contracts placed with the proper officer? Jf there were sealed proposals for these bridges by whom were they received and by whom let ? IJotr’t stand back and whimper, but let’s have facts. The whole business toarfbr the timidity of a very few tc cause Unpleasant results.

Even the groundhog is not giving satisfaction as a weather prophet. Aunt Polly Keith was huried yesterday. She was one of the pioneers of Pike county. The little five-year-old son ot Enoch Johnson was dangerously, if not fatally burned a few days ago, by falling into a kettle of hot lard, Elders Wood and Wright are holding a series of meetings at White Oak and Traylor Chapel John Boling was baptised last week, by Elder Wood. The ice had to be cut for the occasion. Another mail-dog created a sensation in the vicinity of Velpen last week. Several parties were bitten, but blood was drawn from but one man. Our school term this year was eighty days. 1 think fewer schools, and longer terms would be in order. The few days of warm weather last week, rendered the roads almost impassable. Now is a good time to agitate better roads; as business of all kinds will have to suspend till the freezing and thawing is over. Pike County Bill Hayes contemplates moving te Jasper in the near future. He has, sold some of his broad acres to Cooper Bras , who are cutting the timber, and shipping to other points, to be manufactured into such things as the people of this county need, and'then shipped back and sold to them, they paying for the double shipping, as well as a commission to middle men. lathis progress? Why not do our own manufacturing? Our county needs an additional population of ten thousand wideawake manufacturers. If our own citizens have not the necessary energies to establish these Industries, let us show up the possibilities, and invite others to come. We should congratulate ourselves that The Democrat is making an effort to boom our county and town. Mr. Stoops seems to have fully identified himself with the people of this county and their interests. It is their duty in turn to sustain him, ia the efforts he is making to develop the natural resources of our county, which need only development to make this one of the wealthiest and most prosperous counties in the state. It is needless to enumerate the kinds of industries needed here. We can answer by saying there is nothing whatever manufactured in this county. Not a farming implement, nor a single article of household furniture. Any machinery in use, if the least part or fixture break, everything is at a stand-still, till we send fifty or a hundred miles to where it was made for repairs. Estes. . Notice to Teachers.

Dangers of the Season. The sodden changes in weather in the latter part of the winter aud early Spring are a source of colds and coughs. This season is a particularly dangerous one for jpersons with wean lungs or of delicate constitution. A slight cold is likely to become a serious one and the cough that follows is .the one great cause of the many deaths from consumption in the early spring. Never neglect a cold or cough. Keep a reliable remedy on hands and check the first cough, that may lead to consumption. As such a remedy the medicine called Kemp’s Balsam is strongly recommeuded For every form of throat and lung disorder, including the la grippe cough, croup and Consumption in first stages, it probably has no equal anywhere.

MISS QUALITY HILL. She Telle What She Hears Through, oat the City. Being a Close Ofeeej'Ter She Bears anil Sees much of Interest. There was a party given a few evenings ago by one of my lady friends In Oakland City. Only a few had been invited so the crowd was small but vtery select. Everybody there enjoyed the well known hospitality ot thehostess, she having provided the limit of means for entertainment and pleasure. By and by the time for refreshments arrived. They were very swell. Soon after the spread, however, all present seemed to take a notion at once to go home. Each one had a different »id original excuse for his or her sudden departure. After they had all left it was ascertained that some miscreant had put croton oil in the coffee. The song of “Comrades” could not have done. more. 1 was not these. A worthy yoying lady of this city told me the other day that she is being persistently annoyed by a certain young man of Washington. The youug lady in question Visited in Washington recently and the young mau got acquainted -with her there. She is an attractive and intelligent young lady and her admirer was badly smitten from the start. She never gave him any encouragement yet he took every occasion to present bis attentions to her. He learned the young lady’s address and when she came home he followed up his advances by writing letters to her, some of these epistles being signed and -some ot thtjm being anonymous. While there has oeen uothiug positively Insulting inlhese communications they are oftensivc to the lady, who objects to have these attentions forced on her. She doesn’t want to make the matter public, but in order to escape further annoyance she will put the matter into the hands of the postal authorities and the gentleman may be notified to discontinue his offensive attcutious by a government agent. J, I heard the other day a good story of an incident that happened on the south side a few nights ago. It involves a pretty traveling masher. For one long block he did the fastest running he ever did in^'his' life and it came about in this way: He was a dude of the ultra type. He edged up to a yery pretty girl on the street, and while not openly offensive in his attentions was annoying to the young lady. He a$ked her il he might attend her home."1 She replied that she had no objections. Arriving at the gate he asked if he might walk into the house. Again she replied that she had no objections, and opened the hall door. From the doorway like the rush of a cyclone sprang a savage huli-dog and made for the dude who was just starting up stairs. The fresh young man turned and with a howl of fear bounded toward the gate as though pursued by ten thousand fOries. He continued his record breaking gait for a block, the dog meantime having been called back by the laughing maiden. The next time he wants to make a mash he will be sure to ask the young lady if she owns a dog.

The fanniest thing that has ap$ peared in the shops is the green stocking ; of course they are two of them; and they are intended to be worn, not in the evening with the green arcs*—oh, dear no!—but in the daytime, with patent leathershoes! The effect of the black and green is rather good, but just who started this fad, and why it has takeu is something fhat no man can find out. One or two voting women desiring to be odd, have clothed their nether limbs in brilliant scoth plaid affairs, and the Stewarts and the McGregors were never more proud than are these gay lasses. A young woman in a shop, who presides over the stocking department, told me confident’ally, that these queer effects were chosen that theiankle might look more slender and the upper part—yon know what I mean—larger. She had been studying human uature and she saw that it was the women who she was sure weren’t good in shape as to lower limbs who invariably chose the queer stockings, ar.d that the ones who were all right stuck to the plain colors and dark ones. She also told me quite confidentially they put a little filling in some silk stockings intend^ ed for evening wear; but that the average American girl was pretty well shaped about the—well, you kuow—and did not require it. Speaking of girls taking exercise sufficient for their health, a grumpy old bachelor, whose feet were not built for dancing, said to me the other day: “During the bail season a girl gets lots of exercise. 'I’ve made a study of dancing, and figure that an average waltz takes a girl over three quarters of a »ile of a floor^a square dance is good for a half mile and a gallop equals a rtin of one mile. Twenty such dances is the average, | you know, that is, if a girl is not a wallflower. Of th6 twenty, twelve are waltzes, and you have nine miles; three are gallops, and that makes twelve miles; 'five other dances at a half mile give you a total -of - fifteen miles. -That is not counting strolls, promenades and other trips. So you see if a girl attends two bails a week she gets plenty of exercise, l want a law passed that will reach a certain class of offenders not heretofore contemplated by the statutes. I saw two great big brutes at tpe op- ^ ih ' .:‘v »..

sra house la it week with great wads of tobacco In their mouths. They did not look like loafers nor , aid they seem to he hogs, just exactly, but they sat next to the aisle in i the body ol the house and befouled . the floor with expectorations. A great stream of filth ran under the seats and soiled If uot ruined tlie delicate fabric of ladies' skirls. As other ladies passed out of the theater their clothing swept in the muck and mire ot spittle and ruined their garb also. What kind of a mother could these tobacco chewers have had? Certainly their early training must have been very defective. But, no matter what their raising may have been they are despicably and loathsome beings, and should be shat off from decent humanity. You may go into the average passenger coach of today and you will see evidences of >he same character strewn on the floor between the seats, in the aisles and everywhere. These human hogs should he driven into cattle cars aud made to ride where their surroundings would be more congenial. Miss Quality Hill. CARING FOR THE GOOD BOOK. Hoir the Scripture* Were Preferred Previous to Their Translation. The books of the law were the first books of the Bible to be collected by the priests and leaders of the Israelites; after the law came the written history of the people, in the Fifth century B. C., the collection of the prophets by Nehemiah; and from his time onward the collection of hagiographa, the Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Canticles. All of these had been preserved by the priests, copied and recopied as occasion required, and circulated in manuscripts, as of course all Writings were circulated in thoee days. The dispersion of the Hebrews and their acquisition of other languages and loss of the Hebrew language, necessitated the translation of the Scriptures into other than tha Hebrew, and previous to the Second century B. C. what we know as the Septuagint translation—the LXX —was completed in Greek, designed especially for the Hebrews living in Alexandria and other parts of Egypt. The Septnagint comes from a tradition that seventy scholars—seventy-two actually —made the translation. Translations and recensions into the Aramaic were also made, and these translations were copied from time to time, so that the oldest manuscript of the Old Testament now extant is only about 1,400 years old. The case is the same with the New Testament. It was written again and again, until now there are upward of 1,000 manuscripts for the Gospels and as many more for the rest of the New Testament. The oldest manuscripts are the Codex Sinaiticns and the Codex Vaticanns, which date from the Fourth century A. D. So the books of the Bible were handed down, the old copies always being renewed before they wore out, the language being Hebrew, Greek and after A. D. 300, Latin. The latter, in the translation adopted by the Roman church, and known as the Vulgate, because commonly used in the Christian churches, was the first book printed, in 1450-3. . A* far hack as the Seventh century portions of the Vulgate were translated into English, an^the early versions by Wyclif and his (predecessors, by Purvey and others, were translations from the Vulgate. Tyndale used Luther’s German translation of the Greek Bible. The authorized version of King James was made by forty-seven scholars and finished in 1611; the manuscripts, so far as accessible, were consulted, the translators not restricting themselves to the Vulgate, but going to the Hebrew and Greek whenever they could.—Pittsburg Dima tch.

A "Character” In France. Recently a Frencju-gentleman, replying to an inquifyby a ladjr concerning the character and qualifications of a woman who had applied to her for the position of cook, and who had lately been in the gentleman's service, said that he could not recommend the applicant; that she was “extravagant, impertinent and somewhat give A to drink.” The lady gave the letter to the applicant for the cook’s position,who immediately brought suit for damages against the writer. The case was decided against the writer of the letter, who was fined and admonished that he had no right to give circulation to injurious statements concerning another person, even if the charges were true. In order to evade the responsibility thus introduced in French law housekeepers have taken to issuing such “recommendations” as this: “This certifies that Mme. Hortense, late nurse to my son, aged one year, did not leave him on a bench at the Jardin des Plantes and go away and iorget him on the 80th of August last.” The certificate is intended to be taken in a contrary sense, and serves its purpose without laying the writer open to a suit for damages.—Youth’s Companion. A Problem. Once there were two tramps who were actually looking for work. In the course of their wanderings they came upon a pile of coal in front of a palatial residence. Said the tramp with the inferior intellect, “Let us engage ourselves to stow away this fuel at a price of twenty-five cents.” “Nay, nay,” said the tramp oP superior intellect; “let me go within and negotiate.” ,c And he did negotiate and secured the job at a rate of fifty cents, of which sum he gave one-half to his companion to perform the necessary manual labor, reserving one-half unto himself for superintending operations. Whereat he of the inferior business ability, though he had received twice the amount of work he expected and at his own rate of compensation, lifted up his voice in wrath and swore by various deities that he had been bunkoed. Was he right?—Indianapolis Journal. What Men and Women Tell. There is one radical difference between men and women that “it may be said generally of novelists, that men know more than they tell, and women tell more than they know.*1 It may be true of novelists. In real life neither tells all he or she knows, and the difference shows In what they keep. A woman tells the thing that is not vital. She will tell some one almost every detail of her daily life, but let h6r have a heart story, and she not only keeps it locked in, but she lives as though it had no exigence. t A man scorns to relieve his mind of little-worries by asking for sympathy. But let a great secret come into his life —he dies unless' he tells it to some one. He will do it even when it brings him in the shadow of death or bitterest disgrace.—Charles Dudley Warner in Harper’s. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Caetorla,
