Loveland.of northern Vermont, pur-chased a tarm in tbi vicinity recently, a serious problem 'presented itself to him. Ho had a house full of goods and some live stock. To seil them meant a sacrifice to him, so h set his Vankee ingenuity to work to see how he could move hit stud' to his new home in Connecticut without too heavy expense. Last week he arrived here and this is how tie did it: lie went to the 'station aaunt in his town and chartered the Unrest siud longest box car to )b had. Then he loaded his goods iuljn it. Tlo-s- couV.s- - ted of ail his household ; o,ls, one wanou, a plow and a horse rake, 500 pound of butter, liny! bushels of potatoes, two barrels of buckwheat, three horses, live cows, two pigs, eleven sheep, sixty chickens, and three turkeys. By putting up par-titions and making a loft over the cows and horses for the smaller animals and poultry, ho got hi live stock into less than one-thir- of the car. Then he be-gan at the other ind, packed in his household goods, taking his wanou and hoise rake apart for the sake of com-pactness. These occupied nearly half of the car. Then he slung a ham-mock from tho roof of ihe car. put in a stove, running the pipe out of the door, and prepared to accompany the goods himself. He put in a bale of hay una some grain, and a slock of canned gootls, enough to last him for a week. Bread and meat lie purchased wherever the train stopped long enough. The trip occupied live days.

The president then thanked the state militia for their presence, ami said if exigency should arise, which God for-bid, ho knew they would respond as quickly and readily as any other state. Governor Jones You would find all Alabama at your back, sir. Great cheering. Tha president, iu conclusion, said he was glad to know that, in addition to all this business they aro doing, they are attending to education and those tilings that conduce to social order. As long as we have pure homes aud God-fearing, order loving fathers and mothers to rear the childrun that aro given them, and make these homes the abodes of cleanli-ness, piety and intelligence. American society and the union are safe. The president then made a circuit of tho city. As the procession passed the opera house, the members of a travel-ing opura company sang "America," and on one of the principal streets tho school children were assembled en masse. Tho little tots stepped forward and handed the president a beautifully illuminated address from all the school children in the city. The president was greatly surprised, and stopping tho car-riage, he alighted and kissed each of the little ones who bad made the pre-sentation. In the evening a reception was held. After this ho was driven to tho train, which left for Memphis shortly after 8 o'clock, amid the cheers of the immense crowds. TIIK I'KEMDENT AT MEMPHIS. Memphis, April 17. The presiden-tial party arrived here this morning after an all night run from Birming-ham, Ala. Tho only incident of the run occurred at Jasper, Ala. That town was illuminated and nearly 2500 inhabitants were gathered at the sta-tion to pay their respects. As most of the presidential party had retired for the night, people were disappointed at not being able to see them. Mayor Clapp and other municipal ollicers received the president and party on their arrival here. A large crowd, including the local military, gathered at the station, and burst into cheers as tho chief executive appeared. The party was immediately taken in car-riages to the Merchants exchange where thousands of people had assem-bled. The mayor in his address of wel-come introduced the presidont and he replied in a short speech, He congratulated the people upon the progress made and rejoiced to know that they had turned their thoughts to spinning cotton as well as raising it. lie knew no reason why they should export it as raw material rath-er than as a manufactured produ -- t holding in their midst'the profit! of the transformation of raw material to the finished goods. In closing his speech, which was inter-rupie- ii ii an ,'tunes by prolonged cheers, the president thanked the people for the wr.rm welcome extended him. Calls were made for Postmaster Gen-era! Vnnamaker. who responded in a few well chosen remarks. He was fol-lowed by Secretary Rusk, after which there was a reception. After the pres-ident bad shaken hands with a large number of people the party went to the depot where another reception was held.

The majority report of the committee on resolutions favors the adoption by thu congress of a law authorising the Iree and unlimited coinage of silver and the issuance of a sullicieiit amount of leal tender notes to be redeemable both in gold and silver, to the equilibrium between money and all other products; it favors a tarnf for revenue only aud urges that congress enact laws to place the tariff upon a purely revenue basis at as early a date as practicable. h declares the inter state commerce commission should be controlled by tho general government; it favors the im-provement of the Missitsippi river; Ihe construction of tho Henuipin canal aud other water ways by the govern-ment; equalization of taxation; a na-tional bankrupt law; suppression of trusts and combines; amendment to the immigrat on laws; the restoration of railway laud grants to the public do-main and the opening of tho surplus land to settlement; the reclamation of ari l lands; the enactment of laws to prevent d"aling in futures, aud com-mends the secretety of agriculture for his ettorls towards the removing of the restrictions of foreign meal trade. The minority report favors the free and unlimited coinage of American gold and silver on a rato established by the international money convention, which shall make silver and gold of equal purchasing power; it favors a tariff for revenue with incidental protection. Mono j and Hank ( r 1I1U. Hon. A. J. Warner of Ohio addiessed the congress on "The Relation of Money to Bank Credits." There should be a limit to bank credits. The slate banks no longer had power to issue money, but they created money by the issuance of bank credits. Since tuey arrogated to themselves the function of the state, they should coins under the state's supervision. At present tho bank cred-its, in proportion to tho actual money in the banlts, was as from five to seven to one. It was out of this unsubstan-tial structnre of credit money, created out of nothing, that every panic that was known had bad beginning. It should be restricted to t'i of credit to $1 of actual money. Panics would then bo impossible. Take a thousand millions from the upper story of our top heavy system of bank credits and broaden the foundation of our money system by adding a thousand millions, or even five hundred millions, to the real money of either gold, silver or paper, and the disaster would be im-possible. Which should it be, by a ba-sis of gold, that is constantly narrow-in- g and its production diminishing, coupled with the sys-tem of bank credit currency, subject to expansion and collapse, as the interests or cupidity of the banks mav dictate.or less credit and more actual mouey, in which confidence was never wanting? Nat onal I n.y Myat.iii. Judge R. M. Widner of Los Angeles read a paper on the "National Money System," The circulating medium must be increased, said Widner, to meet the growth of population or the business of the country must be killed olT until within the compass of tho present circulation. There is not enough money in circulation, and the want of money caused a stringency in tho money markets, l'reo coinage would not the desired results, for the population was increasing too fast. The great objection to free coinage was that the annual product of silver, 411,000,000 worth, when coined represented or a profit of 18,0o0,000 to a few silver producers. That was of too great local benefit to be of any benefit to the whole people. Tho farmers' al-liance scheme of loaning mouey at a low rate of intcret, secured by land, was too partisan to be accepted. Wid-ner would have a system based upon the authority of the people, backed by tho wealth of ihe people and adminis-tered for the benefit of the whole popu-lation, using all the gold aud silver and supplementiu!! their use by the lepal issue of from fi'O to 15 per capita, constitutional repudiation and tho threatened change of the gold dol-lar as tho measure of value were dan-gers to bn contended against. Iu order to overcome these dangers and to give bis system stability, he proposed an amendment to the constitution of the United States, providing for a national currency circulating med-ium to amount to 0 per capita, as shown by the census of 1W)0 and each succeeding census; for the proper redemption of which, when re-quired, the resources, property and faith of the nation are pledged. For which redemption congress, by a two-third- s vote in each house, may provide for the collection of government reve-nues from taxes in gold and silver coin. Said currency, with the gold and silver coiu of the United States of present weight and fineness, the gold dollar as the unit of value, aud such notes as mav be issued in lieu of gold or silver coin and bullion held exclusively for thd redemption thereof, shall constitute the only legal money of the United States. Congress shall have no power to increase or decrease said issue, pro-vided that after the issue of 1000 con-gress mav, bv a two-third- s vote of each house, reduce the rate of further issue. rvi'i WILL FORGERS CONVICTED- - Triml to W'rk a I.lttl.

Tho board of county commissioners of Clear ( reek, now in session at the April term, are in a quandary as to the selection of jurors to attend the district court iu June. Under the new law requiring them to select only taxpayers they find that the good people of Clear Creek county have gone the whole figure, aud that while taxpay-ers, the great majority are also mem hers of tho state ir.alitia in good standing and that a very great ma jority both in Idaho Springs, George-town and Silver Plume, are active members of the tiie department. These two causes are good excuses and the court is very apt to find itself with an array of first class jurymen with first-clas- s excuses in their pockets.
