Horse-senae or Male-sense.
Ed. Jockjjat,: "The Argus" does not
eem to have gained an ounce of horse
ense"byita removal to Columbus, be
cause an article entitled "Finance from
the standard of horse-sense," copied
from the Lincoln Herald in the Argup,
is so bare of even "horse-sense" that any
thinking man can scarcely see a trace of
the poorest "mule-sense" in it
The writer of this is neither a lawyer,
nor a financier, nor a capitalist, but
simply an old laboring man, yet bis
little common sense is boiling over when
he reads such nonsense as that con
tained in said piece of scribbling, and he
is bound to say a few words in explana
tion to Bixby & Co.
The Argus says: "To our view, money
is a commodity, an article of ordinary
Bse and not differing a whit from any
other commodity in its use."
Is it indeed? Let us see! Provisions
are eaten up, clothes are worn out, even
bouses acd furtiture and implements
and hardware and china and glassware
break and rust and decay, but money
thoagh at best passing from hand to
haad remains, and if there are two
kinds, one kind of artificial or fictitious,
and the other of real, intrinsic value,
then the latter unlike other things is
hoarded and hid and locked up, and the
former only is left in circulation. Who
will deny these facts? And yet the
Argus seems to think that any intelli
gent man among its readers will swallow
without chewing its less than mule
sease assertion that "there is not a par
ticle of difference between the use of
aaosey and that of any other commo
dity." Bat brother Saunders & Co. are com
paratively young men who may not have
been bora when we had the late "un
pleasantness" with the south. So a bit
of our experience may teach these boys
the way they ought to go. We had
pleaty of money then, we had masses of
"greenbacks" and. shinplasters," and
who knows what aU. It all was made
"legal tender" by law. Everybody had
to take it from everybody for every
commodity in every store, office, bank,
aaywhere and everywhere but how?
Why at its full value, for the law said:
fTkis green piece of paper is a dollar!"
bat what did the merchants do? Why,
they said: "This piece of calico worth
10e sflver or gold a yard, costs a 25c
This barrel of flour, worth
silver or gold, costs $12 to $ 15 in
"What was the use then of navingmuch
' mmcr, when yon could not purchase
ior it aay iaore than for a little? Was
, a man with $100 in silver or gold in
, as well off as the one having
900 to $250 in greenbacks?

Boone 5 Merrick ..
Bart 8 Nance
Cedar 4 Pierce
Colfax 4 Platte
Coming 7 Stanton...

Dixon 6 Wayne
UOQ0O 11.
Knox 5 Total
Couldn't he purchase as much for it as
for the bulk of paper? Doesn't that
prove plainly that it is not the bulk but
the real intrinsic value of it that makes
money really useful?
But there is another point compre
hensible even for mule-sense. No soon
er was the country flooded with fiat
money, than gold and silver and even
copper disappeared. Where did they
go to? They went partly out of the
country, partly into the vaults of the
banks, and were put into old teapots
and stockings and buried in the ground,
and hid in the bed-straw, and who
knows where all? Enough, the. visit of
a gold dollar and eke a silver dime was
as "rare and far between as angel's
visits."
"Silver is no fiat money' brother
Bixby & Co. will say. True, but equally
true, if supply and demand regulate the
value, then your great bulk of money
for which yon contend will have the
6amo effect that the issue of fiat money
had during tne war. .Money will go
down and everything else go up every
thing but to my recollection the
newspapers. Work and material went
up for them but the papers kept and
had to keep their old price and many of
them died of too much money. There
fore let Saunders & Co. beware!
In the free coinage of silver or "silver
swindle" as it is rightly termed is a
bonanza, but not for us common every
day mortals a bonanza only for the
silver barons, money kings, capitalists
and the like human or inhuman beings.
Mr. Editor, we will let brother Saun
ders & Co. keep all such horse-sense and
use only such common-sense as our
mothers used to go by and we will come
out AiiL Right.

Washington Letter.
From oar regular correspondent.
The house census committee has given
considerable attention to the proposi
tion of establishing a permanent census
bureau, and has heard arguments on the
subject from a number of gentlemen,
including Superintendent Porter, and
it has invited General Francis A. Walker,
who was superintendent of the tenth
census, to give the committee his ideas
on the subject at as early a day as may
suit his convenience.
The Paddock pure food bill, which was
recently passed by the senate, will be
favorably reported to the house by the
committee on agriculture.
The president ib deeply interested in
the success of the G. A. R encampment,
which is to be held hero this year, as his
special message to congress in favor of
the bill appropriating $100,000, one-half
to be paid from the revenues of the Dis
trict of Columbia, showB.
A national organization to be known
as tho Henry Clay Club, has been or
ganized here. Its motto is "The pro
tection of American markets and tho
elevation of Americans," and its purpose
is to unito those persons who are be
lievers in the fundamental principles so
ably advocated by Henry Clay, and to
encourage the promulgation and adop
tion of those truths which were tho
inspiration of his life work. Literature
is to be distributed and branch clubs
organized in the mining and manufac
turing seclions of the south, and ar
rangements have already been perfected
for sending the following eloquent gen
tlemen to that section to make speeches:
Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, ex-Senator
Evarts, and Representatives Beed and
Burrows.
The fate of the free coinage bill, which
everybody expected to have been deci
ded, as far as the houso is concerned
last week, is still a matter of doubt
The house committee on rules is now
deliberating on a proposition from Rep
resentative Bland, tho author of the bill,
to report a special rule, again bringing
the bill before the house and prohibiting
fillibusteriug thereon, in other words
the very cloture rule, which democratic
speakers and editors declared to be un
constitutional and every thing that was
bad when it was proposed that tho re
publicans of tho senate should adopt it
to pass tho election bill, at the last ses
sion of congress. ButTthe defeat of the
silver men last week appears to have
taken the confidence out of them to a
largo extent, and many of them openly
express their fears that the bill will be
defeated. The anti-silver men. however.
also express fears that the bill will pass,
if it ever gets to a straight vote before
the house, which makes it evident that
tho issue of this week's fight is extreme
ly doubtful and that it will be very close
either way.
The story that the president had said
that he would not allow his name to be
presented to the Minneapolis convention
has again been started. There is no
truth in it. He has never said that he
would be or that he would not be a
candidate.

A scientific theorem is simply a gener

As in the roaring loom of time the end
less web of events is woven, each strand
shall make more and more clearly visi
ble the living garment of God.

upon which all modern science has come I

In the deepest sense the nature of
Deity is unknowable by finite man, nev-
ertheless the exigencies of our thinking
fopligeus to symbolize that nature in
some "form that has a real meaning for
us.
.
God; is the ever-present life of .the
world; it is through him that all things
exist from moment to moment, and the
natural sequence of events is a perpetu
al revelation of the divine wisdom and
goodness.
Tho infinite and eternal Power that is
manifested in every pulsation of the uni
verse is none other than the living God.
Practically there is a purpose in the world
whereof it is our highest duty to learn
the lesson.
The most the argument from design
could legitimately .hope to accomplish
was to make it seem probable that the
universe was wrought into its present
shape by an intelligent and benevolent
Being immeasurably superior to man,
but far from infinite in power and re
sources. Such an argument hardly rises
to the level of true theism.
Once really adopt the conception of an
ever-present God, without whom not a
sparrow falls to the ground, and it be
comes self-evident that the law of gravi
tation is but an expression of a particu
lar mode of divine action. And what is
thus true of one law is true of all laws.
The thinker in whose mind divine action
is thus identified with orderly notion, and
to whom a really irregular phenomenon
would seem like a manifestation of sheer
diabolism, foresees in every possible ex
tension of knowledge a fresh confirma
tion of his faith in God. From his point
of view there can be no antagonism be
tween our duty as inquirers and our du
ty as worshippers. To him no part of
tho universe is godless. In the swaying
to and fro of molecules and the ceaseless
pulsations of ether, in the secular shif th
ings of planetary orbits, in the busy
work of frost and raindrop, in the myste
rious sprouting of the seed, in the ever
lasting talo of death and life renewed, in
the dawning of the babe's intelligence,
in the varied deeds of men from age to
age, he finds that which awakens the
soul to reverential awe; and each act of
scientific explanation but reveals an op
ening through which shines the glory of
the Eternal Majesty.
A Little Girl's Experience in a Lighthouse
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep
ers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand
Beach, Mich., and are blessed with a
daughter four years old. Last April she
was taken down with measles, followed
with a dreadful cough and turning into
a fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidly, until she was a mere ''handful
of bones." Then she tried Dr. King's
New Discovery and after the use of two
and a half bottles, was completely cured.
They say Dr. King's New Discovery is

We want every mother to know that
croup can be prevented. True croup
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taKen a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse
ness from the start. After that a pe
culiar rough cough is developed, which
is followed by the croup. The time to
act is when the child first becomes
hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will prevent the attack.
Even after a rough cough has appeared
the disease may be prevented by using
this remedy as directed. It has never
been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent
