Some notion of the enormous amount of money invested in bicycle plants in England may be gleaned from the fact that during the past three months the public has been asked to subscribe no less than 60 million dollars to assist in the manufacture of wheels. No end of factories in which tubes, tires and appliances are made, have been converted into joint stock com- panies, and the pages of the neWspapers are blazoned every day with offerings of shares in similar enterprises. Some of these prospectuses are'so dubious as to suggest the thought that enthusiasts who investtheir money will in time be reminded of the fact that Fortune is alwaws portrayed as taking flight upon a wheel. ._.q , The Greater and the Less. In a communication to the Herald, the Hon. John W. Griggs, Governor of New Jersey and as thorough-paced a Republican as lives, makes a notewor- thy declaration vil'hich is hereby com- mended to all sound-money Democrats: “I believe in a protective tariff, but I would sooner a thousand times live un- der a sound-money, free-trade Admin- istration than under a free-silver Ad- ministration, even if it favored protec- tion. I think sound-money Democrats should feel the same way.” So, patriotic Democrats, however much opposed to Major McKinley’s tarIfi notions, can let them pass as mat- ter of no moment by the side of the commanding issues of this unexampled campaign. So says the patriotic and intensely democratic New York Sun. 0 first Fruits of the Silver Craze. The eifect of the silver craze is most forcibly illustrated in the bids just opened for $400,000 of school house and college bonds in New York city. The Comptroller opened the bids yesterday, and found that only $121,000 of the en- tire $400.000 had been bid for at any price. The bonds were all 3% per cents, and under ordinary conditions would have been greedly snapped up at a premium. The highest bids were at the rate of $100.50, and the lowest at par. Those who have money to invest are waiting until they can assure themselves that their 100 cent dollars will not be returned to them in 50-cent dollars. When the eflect of the present uncer- tainty in financial matters is to paralyze the market is permanent investment se- curities, its effect upon ordinary busi- ness investments can scarcely fail to be still worse. it Hurts the Poorest Most. None are more deeply concerned in the maintenance of a sound currency than depositors in our savings banks and the members of building and loan associations, generally working people, dependent on their wages, who have invested their savings in these organiza- tions and cannot afford to have their , value out down by a cheapening of the money standard It was eminently just, therefore, that the representatives of the building and loan associations of the country, as- sembled in convention, should declare their hostility to the present mad at- tack upon public and private credit and their resolute conviction that every dollar of the United States must be such as to command its face value in any part of 'the world. It is from the influence of just such persons, the honest, frugal, industrious American toilets and bread-winners, that we may hope the most for the maintenance of the national honor in the present crisis. When our people come to reason together and realize what they have at stake, there need be no fear that they will yield to the de- mands of repudiation and revolution. hinting: at Zurich.

ENORMOUS WEALTH IN BEER. ’ 8300,3C0,000 Are Invested in the Brow- ing Business in America. - . Few people are aware of the wealth or magnitude of operations of the United States Brewers’ Association. The capi- tal of the members is estimated at 8165,- 788,903. That it takes a tmall army of workmen to get out the product of hops and malt for thirsty Americans is shown by the fact thatzthe brewers have in their employ 35,000 men. The most closely united, powerful and wealthy trade society in America is the United States Bre'wers’ Association. Within the control of the membership of this association there is at least the sum of three hundred millions of dol- lars, which is practically united in one immense capital for the growth, ad- vancement and protection of the brew- ing interests of the country. The thousand members of the associ- ation, of which Leo Ebert, oi Ironton, 0., is now the President, are from every State and Territory in the Union. And as the work of the association shows, each of the seven hundred of those who are active in its affairs is alert to the in- terests of the trade, in close touch with the general and political sentiment of his own State, and ready to devote his individual efforts, influence and wealth to the purposes of the society. Out of this fact grows the wonderful power that the brewing interest has wielded in politics, legislation and in control of great transportation compan- 185. Mr. Gallus Thor'nann, manager of the literary bureau of the association, who is the best possible authority, fixes the amount of capital invested in the busi- ness in this country at $165,788,903. This is made up from $143,195,911 in- vested in breweries and $22,592,992 in malt houses. These figures are sup- ported by the internal revenue reports, which, unfortunately, are usually too far behind date to be reliable. When to these figures are added the other property of the brewers in real estate, stocks and chattel mortgages, received by thousands from ‘their im- pecunious customers, the sum of three hundreds of millions of dollars is con- sidered a safe estimate of their united capital. HE WAS THE “BUFFER.” Sang Froid of a Typical English Sentry on Duty. A certain popular general takes great delight in talking to young soldiers, es- pecially when he is not recognized. One day a Lancashire recruit was post. ed as sentry on the general’s quarters. One of the servants gave him something to eat. A moment later, a short, elderly man, attired in a. tweed suit and gaiters, with his billycock tilted over his eyes came up. “What dost ta want heer?” said the sentry, “Oh, I belong here,” said the stranger. “And what are you doing, eating on sentry?” “N aw, I’m not. If the. had been two minutes later I would have been fair on ta job the knaws.” “What have you got—Bread and ham?” “Naw; guess agin.” “Bread and Beef?” “Naw, it’s not; guess agin,” said the sentry. ' “Well, then it’s bread and mutton.” “Ehl that’s reet. Wull tha ha a bite?” “Thanks, no,” said the stranger, “but as you don’t appear to know me, try and guess who I am.’ “Eh! that’s reet. groom.” “You’re wrong; try again.” “Well, tha-moight be general’s but- ler.” ,,_ “No; but you are getting nearer.” “Eh! thow moight be th’owd buffer hisself." “Right,” said the stranger. the old buffer himself.” “Ehl gasped the sentry, shaking violently and holding out the food. “Howd this while I gie thee a chuck up (Present arms)'.” The general turned away to hide a smile he;could not'suppress at the sentry’s confusion. A few day’s later, at his inspection, the general said he had met men at different times and places who failed to recognize him, and hoped it would not occur in the future. Our Lancashire lad, who expected to get severely punished, was heard to say: “He’s not very big, but he is every inch 2. soger, the. knows.”—London Weekly Telegraph. r A TRIBUTE TO KATE FIELD. Touching Incident Showing the Respect of Colored Americans. Shortly after the announcement of Tha’s general’s “I am Miss Field’s death a touching incident occurred which showed the place her name holds among the common peOple of her country. Two American negroes, laborers in Honolulu, came to Dr. McGraw’s resi- dence and ofiered to assist in any way possible in caring for the remains. They stated that ’they had no money, they could not buy floral“ tributes, but Miss Field had always been a friend of the negro and had done what she could to improve the condition of the race in the Southern States. They would like to do something as a mark of apprecia~ tion and respect. As kind hands had done all that could be done at that time Dr. McGraw thank- ed them and gave assurance that their kindness would not be forgotten. Dur- ing the noon hour before the funeral on Wednesday one of them went to Dr. McGraw’s house in his working clothes and asked if he might have a last look at the earthly remains of the woman who had done so much for his race. Although the casket had been closed and sealed, the doctor remembered his promise and granted the request.— Honolulu Advertiser. “Come off the perch,” said the fish- erman, as he removed the scales from a specimen of the finny tribe;—Kearney (N eb.)
