THE PEOPLE’S PILOT.

FOR THE FREE AND UNLIMITED OOINAQB OF SILVER AND GOLD AT THE FARHTY RATIO OF SIXTEEN TO ONE "WITHOUT REFERENOE TO ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH

The secretary of the treasury has sent congress the following statement of the Pacific railroad debts : Union and Kansas Pacific, advances and interest, $92,846,000; due July Ist, ’97, $52,289,593. Balance due on* Central Pacific, $60,318,877. Those beautiful McKinley pictures and prosperity banners that have so long adorned our republican friends front windows are now, in some places being removed and in their stead are hung the lilies: Of all the sad words of tongue or pen. The saddest are these, what was to have been. According to the New York bankers the war scare has caused a shrinkage in values of SIOO,000,000. This is more damage than has been inflicted on the island of Cuba, so we are fain to believe that Wall street “scares” come high, or that it is another case of “the.little boy lied.” The Red .Cross League, although solicited to do so, can not go to the aid of the Cuban sufferers. Miss Barton, president of tfye League has been appealed to, but it is claimed by those in authority that a position of the strictest neutrality must be maintained. This would hardly seem to be in accord with the aid given the Armenian sufferers. A rather amusing story has just been sent out in regard to a large number of gold bug democrats, in Ohio, who were beguiled into parting with various sums of money to a self-consti-tuted nommitlfee that represented itself as authorized to prepare a list of postmasters to succeed the present incumbents, who were to be deposed for “pernicious activity.” “None of the promised appointments materialized, which led to inquiiy and so the story got but. j ■ V.i'. . r « A man from on of 'the townships being “guyed” on the streets yesterday for wearing a gold hat said, “these hats cost jis nothin j, and with many of us, it is either werr then or go bareheaded. Ido wish to the Lord we could get some campaign shirts and breeches at the same price; it matters not what the color: might be, just so we could get the duds. Fifteen cent corn. 11 cent oats, 4 cent chickens, $2.30 hogs, and every thing else we have to sell, going at the same rate, is making linen mighty scarce in our neck of woods; but they say, ‘be patient, prosperity is coming when McKinley touches the button again. ’ ”

Pens Asinorum.

, Although Burk’s bridge is said to be the longest in Indiana, yet Monday morning* it was found to be just a few rods over one half mile too short. In reaching either end of it, the water rose into the wagon beds. Many teams that had crossed it, were seen here on the streets with icicles frozen on their sides. The commissioners at their next meeting will probably let the contract for another half mile extension of this famous “Pons asinorum. ” A half mile addition will be sufficient until Giffofd finihhes up the big laterals he is now digging and then the bridge will, in all probability, be abandoned and the county will put in a huge steam ferry boat.

ON A CASH LASIS.

— —*'*- After fully considering the effects of this radical deviation from the usual custom of county papers, we have concluded, let the consequences be what they may, to run the People’s Pilot on a strictly cash system in the future. We are obliged to do this as a result of the existing hard times. Beginning with the New Year, each subscriber will be notified in advance of the time his subscription expires, and when the time is up the name will be taken from the list and the paper discontinued. Subscribers who are in arrears the fractional part of a year will be sent the paper until the year is completed, but no longer. Every name on the list that is behind more than one year will be dropped Feb. Ist, 1897, uuless the subscriber makes a payment for the future, and arranges with us for a settlement of what is now d.ue. We will . allow those who cannot pay a full years subscription to pay for six months or three months. This rule will not be deviated from, and should oJTend no one. Those who do not feel able to take the paper will not have it forced upon them. If you pay for the paper in advance you will know that it will stop when the time is out, and no bill will afterwards be presented. F. D. CRAIG. Publisher,

Patent Not Yet Applied For.

Can’t some genius invent a scattering machine that will make a more equal distribution of confidence? It is coming in such heavy chunks and “dabs” that wherever it strikes things are knocked “east, west and crooked.” Last week some ten or a dozen of the largest banking houses in the west were struck and completely demolished by these unwieldy, heavy flying chunks. There is no patent on record of a confidenceseatterer, so a fortune is surely in store for some handy man.

The Lover’s Return.

CHAPTER I. George Augustus Vere de Vere gazed upon the face of Geraldine de Montmorency, and sighed once, twice, thrice! At last his trembling lips parted, and he spoke. “And is your decision final?” he rfiked. ‘' r >B, p she replied in cold, ,' r ue; tones. “I have weighed IL • matter well. We must hence--th be strangers. ” With a wild hunted look in his eyes the young man rushed out into the cold, unsympathetic night, and the, door closed forever upon their happiness. CHAPTER 11. Geraldine de Montmorency, the only daughter of the proud millionaire, salt with downcast eyes and deeped hands, and permitted her thoughts to run riot. She was surrounded by all the luxury that wealth could provide, and yet she was not happy. Ah see ! Two tears tremble upon her long, dark lashes, and her beautifully rounded chin quivers. But, hark! There is a knock at the front di , Joy! Joy! She recogniz~ the signal of George Au>’ "itus Vere de and flies to admit him. ' For a moment the beautiful pair stood facing each other. The light was turned low in the hall else he might have qeen that her great brown eyes were moist, and that a wistful look overspread her lovely features. He stood with his hand upon the door- knob for a moment, as if. hesitating, and the tender maiden .waited breathlessly for the words that were to undo all that had just been done, and again fill he* breast with joy : At last he spoke, saying: ‘‘Excuse me, but 1 forgot my rubbers.” —Cleveland Leader.
