The financil question is destined . ;

payment is what will be presented
‘for decision.
plaint in the East of a searcity of
money to, meet the ‘exigencies of
trade. Hard . times sre upon the
poor e and many are the causes asi Some Peace
gapce in railroad building: some be~_ Tievé the cause rests solely with the
‘people who have been living too
_fast for.the last decade, and others
think the present stringent condition
of monetary affairs is caused by a
blind subserviency to a false monetavy system. They believe that the
National currency’should bea legal
tender for all purposes whatever,
and should be interchangeable at
the holders option, with Government
bonds bearing a fixed rate of interest.
‘They believe that such notes would
inaugurate a self-adjusting system,
which would be beyond the control
of any combination. That the
amount of ‘currency im circulation
would be entirely dependent, upon
the wants of trade, fur as soon as
enough has been issued to accomodate the wants of the community,
the surplus would be eonverted into
interest bearing stock and returned
to the Treasury to be reissued. As
the system now stands, there isa
fixed and unalterable amount issued,
At one season of the yearit is far be.
yond the wants of trade, while at
another seuson,: for instance, when
the great staples of the country are
to bé brought forward and. paid for,
it is entirely inadequate. These de-.
fects they claim wonld be remedied
‘+y the proposed issue of legal tender
notes convertable at the option of
the holder, into bonds bearing interest, said bonds being again convertible into said legal tenders. When
trade demanded more currency the
Government could issue enough to
meet the demand. Whena surplus
was in the country laying idle it
would at once be invested by its owners in interest’ bearing bonds which
could at any time be converted;
again into cash, This plan is said
_ to have originated with Pliny Freeman, ‘President of the Globe Life Insurance Company, and is being advo' gated by the New York Mercantile

The school at Eureka Sotith or
Graniteville, is being taught by Mis
Mary Madigan. She has 20 pupils
in attendance, which is considerably
more than is usual for the school.
A taxias been levied for the purpose ef erecting a new school house,
and the assessment roll has been
completed and we believe the coltector commenced work yesterday.
‘The season is so late that it is prob‘able that the building will pot be put
up until Spring. The people of the
District are very much pleased with
Miss Madigan and the school is pro.gressing very rapidly. ~
Advertisements,
Many of our advertisements are
crowded out to-day, to give room for
the publication of a long United

Some half dozen papers published
at Virginia city, have combined to
knock the Enterprise into ‘‘smithereens.’? They don’t phase the éstablishment in the least, and the
Enterprise gets the start of them
every time. The fight reminds us
of what 4 colored citizen said about
the discussion at Grass jValley, two
years ago, between Frank Page and
Paschall Coggins. On being asked
how the discussion came out, the
colored gentleman .replied: ‘Why
sah, Page chawed Coggins up, then
spat him out, and then chawed him
up again and ‘spat him out again,
and dat was de last of him.’’ That
is just the way the fight will end
against the Enterprise.

money enough in the.schoolfund belonging ‘to that district to’ keep

A Close Call.
Our young friend Bert Lan
had a rather unpleasant ieiatuies
on last’ Sunday. He was eating some
food and from some cause it entered
his throat before he had thorouglily
masticated it, and lodged there.
He could neither breathe nor speak,
. and finally fell to the floor utterly .
helpless. By a thoughtful introduction of her tinger into his throat,
his mother after two-or three attempts dislodged the eause of the
difficulty, otherwise the result must
have terminated fatally. oe

A Fiendish’Hevenge
Some weéks ago a woman calling
herself Bridget MAlhoney applied to
Dr, Jackson of Columbus, Kentutky,
for the place of cook. -Employment
was givenher and for a short time
she gave satisfaction, A few dayn
agothe Doctor noticéd some itregularities in her life and notified fer
home,, This appeared to infuriate
her beyond control—the pent-up
devil in her.mature burst forth ina
fury of passion that sent the doetor
scampering for the. police, .and.,the
family for an “asylum of safety.
When he returned, Bridget had d6parted, leaving his mirrets and fur=
niture a wreck, It appears that,
their muhagement the public money:. froma mistaken kindwiess, she was
not prosecuted, but was allowed to
depart.-anmolested. From his tesiing house kept by an estimable German Catholic named Switzher, near
the M. &-O. Railroad. She easily
imposed-hérself upon the gcéd nature of this fidy, and was permitted
to stop with her, paying her board
in work. She behaved badly’ again,and Mrs. Switzher discharged her.
Instead of going off, however, she
went up into Mrs, Switzher’s room,
(it was immediately after breakfast)
and’sent for this lady from. the dining-room, When she got into her
. presence shé conimenced to abuse
her in a most shameful manner.
Mrs. Switzher tried to quiet her,
and expressed sympathy for her.
4 Bridget told her that she had better
. sympathize with herself, and made
at her, Mrs. Switzher rushed down
stairs, Jeaying her three children,
consistitig of-a little boy 4 years. old
and two daughters aged. respectively
6 and 10, inthe room. The oldest
says that the two children were in
the bed with the’ mosquito bar: fastenéd arotind it and that Bridget de.
liberately took the lamp and satnrated the bed and children with coal
oil and then fired it.
Before assistance cot ld reach them
‘the passage was a solid sheet of
flame, aud the two children were
burned, with the house and thost of
the furniture. The fiend is in prison

Tar rus Epucation.—The true
education of -cbildren should commence at home, and it might be
even confined to that locality if the
proper influences prevail there. It
is the father and the mother of the. h
family who control the future of the
boys and girls of the eoming generations. If their conduct be proper,
. their examples worthy of imitation,
all legislation in the direction of
compulsory education in* public or
private schools is an impertinent
interference with private rights; ; nd,
if the home associations are hurtful,
all such legislation is’ utterly useless.
tellectual faculties alone which is to
elevate the human race to the desired height it should occupy. The
most infamous and shecking crimes
have been committed by men highly
distinguished in the world of literature; and the most accomplished and
dangerous villains who fill our State
Prisons are men of finished scholastic education. All the learning that
the receptive mental powers of boys
and girls may enable them to appropriate will be ineffective in ‘detering them from evil courses, in
after life, if they are subjected to the
contamination of bad moral examples or teachings in the domestic
circle, Schools, as adjuncts, do
much to benefit the youth of the
land, but they are powerless, for
good, unless they are supplemented
