CLEARING HOUSE
CERTIFICATES.
We note from several exchanges
it) nt the new form of money,
Clearing House Certificates, are
giving great satisfaction wher
ever used in relieving the strin
gency of the money market.
This is a source of gratification
to us us it fully proves that the
position assumed by us several
years ago is correct. It is evi
dence that an elastic currency
is absolutely necessary for the
protection of the business and
general interests of the couutry
in time of financial panic, when
hundreds of millions of dollars
in actual money are locked up
in safety deposit boxes, or with
held from circulation by the
basics because of an insane idea
that has been injected into the
irutids of the bunkers that the
country is on the verge of bank
ruptcy, this idea being inculca
ted by the frenzied financiers of
Wall Street, and of other great
business centers for the purpose
of bearing the products of the
farm from winch practically all
wealth and prosperity arises.
Now, while Clearing House
Certificates are performing a
great work, to the thought
ful, it will be readily seen
that they are really only a
makeshift. While they are ab
solutely safe, the wiles of the
enemy are many and devious,
and that enemy, the speculator,
will eventually undermine, and
cast a doubt upon their validity.
Tlmse certificates need reinforc
ing in point of security. They
require iu addition to the present
security behind them, the
strong ai m of the State. The
Legislature is the only body
that e.an furnisu this additional
security and we sincerely hope
Lhat it will at. the coining session
pass some measure that will
euiaueipale us from our present
eoutiilion of serfdom to a heart ?
!? ss and unprincipled set of
icusnblers and speculators.
DISPENSARY DECISION.
( *i ii? I' Justice Y. J. Pope of Llio
Supreme Court lias handed clown
Ms decision in the Kershaw
County dispensary contested
"U'eiion case. In that decision,
he upholds the action of the
Slate Hoard of Election Comiuis
?loners which board decided that
the election was illegal.
This decision by tho Chief
Juki ice did not at all surprise us.
Cornier issues of THE PEOPLE
will reveal the fact that we pre
dicted the ttnal result. We are
not cue to crow over those who
differed with us on this quvstio",
bat? we may say in all truth that
we are profoundly gratified at
llr- outcome. Now, let us have
a rest on the dispensary ques
tion for a while. We liaven't
the slightest idea that at the
n.'Xl session of the legislature,
:uv, ; hing along the line of wliis
!icv legislation will be attempted
o!her than the st lengthening of
certain weak points in theCary
C-dhran law. Any radical
change in the present system
should l>e left to the legislature
<>l 11)00, the question to come oe
1'ore the people in the August
primaries of the coming year,
and thoroughly veutilated on the
hustings. We hope to be with
the Candidates during that cam
paign, and will express our sen
timents in 110 uncertain tone.
Bet and Jim.
rn diu icksburg Free Lance.)
In t he north west part of our
country I hero lives a well unown
Irish magistrate. A khiii of lib
era I education unci full quota of
genuine wit. A short time ago
Ji.e 1 ! Set, a colored pair, call
? < .<! iM I.? ; '- cjnire to b^ united for
? Jim, will you take Bet,
Without any regret,
To love aud cherish,
Till one of you perish,
Aud is laid uuder the sod,
So help you God?'*
All being answered in the affir
mative by Jim the 'squire turn
ed to Bet and said:
"Bet. will you take Jim,
And cling to biui,
Through thick aud ihin,
Holding him to your heart,
Till deatli do you part?"
Bet ucquiesced by a modest
bow of the head, and now the
pair was dismissed as follows:
"Through life, alternate joy a?id
strife,
I now prouounce you man and
wife,
Go up life's hill until you get to
the level,
And solute your bride, you
black rusty devil."
An Appenl for "The Bread
Line."
The Bowery Mission 4 'Bread
Line" ut which 1,000 men who
are out in the streets for the
night are given a breakfast of
hot coffee and rolls every morn
ing at one o'clock, is one of the
most pathetic sights in all the
wide, wide world: Long before
the hour of opening, these poor,
starving men stand in a single
line that sometimes extends for
blocks iu length, waiting for the
coffee and rolls. During the last
wiuter, this breakfast was given
to a total of 144,000 homeless
men and boys, and up to date
nearly half a million of the
homeless have had their weary
tramp restful ly interrupted by
this unique ministration. The
tirst. of these Breakfasts is given
on Thauksgiving morning, and
the last on the following Easter
morning. Altogether the Mis
sion supplied, this year, ovtV
233,000 meals and 10,072 1^3g
ings to homeless men and boys.
. It . is for this grand, philan
thropic work that we ask. your
kind and practical co-operation.
The homeless, friendless, dis
heartened and despairing men
and boys of the Bowery are not
native New Yorkers, but men
and boys who, U'jtil within a
year, lived happily at the old
homestead with father and
mother, and perhaps wife They
are stranded here, and in des
pair appeal to the Old Bowery
Mission, which, for over thirty
years, has been to the unfortu
nate, as the rescue cities of old,
| a haven of encouragement, rest
and protection. Shall w? turn
them away? It rests with the
good people of this country to
deckle this question, aud may
God graciously help you to de
cide it right. JOHN C. EARL,
Financial Secretary, 92 Bible
House, New York City.
The Human Machine.
You are a complex and in
genious machine, "fearfully and
wouderlully" made/ If your
age is 15 yea'rs or more, you can
be figured up to a dot.
You have 100 bones, 500 mus
cles; your blood weighs 25
pounds; your heart is nearly five
inches in length, and three
inches in diameter, it beats 70
times a minute, 4,200 times an
hour, 100,800 times a day, and
30,722,200 times a year. At each
beat a little over two ounces of
blood is thrown out of it; each
day it receives and discharges
above seven tons of that won
derful . fluid. It is the most re
markable pump in the world.
Your lungs will contain a gal
lon of air, and you inhale 24,
000 gallons a day. The aggre
gate surface of the air cells of
your lungs, supposing them to
be spread out, its 20,000 square
inches.
The weight of your brain is
llhreo pounds, or more. Your
j nerves exceed 10,0(10,000. Your
skin is composed of three layers,
and varies from one-eighth to
i one forth of an inch in thiclcness.
The area of your skin is about
1,700 square inches, and you are
subjected to an utmosphericpres*
sure of 15 pounds to the square
inch, a total of 127 tons.
Each square inch of your skin
contains 3,500 sweating tubes, I
perspiratory pores, each of
which may be likened to a little
