4 MLcHIGAN LAKE. BUBBLE.

The Chicago Tribune prOpounds what it is
pleased to style Scheme for Specie Resump-
"ton," of which it invites criticism. The only
criticism it deserves is that it has no tendency
to produce resumption OF specie payment. We
present its propositions Seriatim:
First Let Congress repeal the act allowing the secre-
tary the Treasury TO retire and destroy four millions
month Of legal tender notes
Whether retiring the legal tenders will pro-
duce specie payments has been questioned. But
none will pretend that to prevent them from
being retired viii restore specie payments
Second: Let Congress enact that grecnbacks shsH he
convertible into tenfOrty bonds at the pleasure OF the
holder.
As the Government has already disposed of
its ten-forty bonds, it would have to be au-
thorized to offer % new loan, TO an amount
equal to the quantity OF greenbacks III circula-
ton, in order to have the bonds to offer for
the grecnbacks if holders should wish to con
vert them. We do not see that a provision for
increasing the debt, in order to allow Govern
ment to pay bonds for grcenbacks, would be
worth anything If greenbacks should be worth
more than bonds, the people would not offer the
latter for conversion. If they were worth less,
the Government would save MONEY by buying
them up at their actual market value. Con-
gress cannot with any effect enact that two
things which are of different values shall pos
sess the same value. They can make anything
a means of payment, but not standard of
value Hence, they cannot make bonds and
greenbacks of the same actual value. They
can only offer to take the less valuable for the
more valuable. If giving more for less will
bring us to specie payments, the simplest way
to do it is to give its gold for all the promises
of the Government now payable on demand.
If it is going to decker, let it maintain the
Yankee reputation for shrewdness by paying
less and getting more on every trade. If it Is
going to pay, let it pay gold
Third: Let Congress enact that any class OF bonds may
be converted into greenbaeks, dollar for dollar, az the
pleasure OF the holder.
This would require that the Treasury should
be authorized to issue greenbacIs TO the whole
amount of the National debt If specie pay
mcnts can be restored by throwing twenty five
hundred millions of currency into circulation,
then we will agree to light the City of Chicago

HOW 1T HIS DONE.

The Cidsen, edited by Democrat, gives the
following glance at the means whereby the
vote was so swelled in our City at the recent
election:
1t is notorious that the Tammany organization utterly

Treasury must have spent aggregate Of not less han
100000 OF private and public money in the recent contest
All tho payros OF the city departments for the past two
months have been heightened strengthened by thou
sands upon thousands OF snecure inspectors and other
placehOlders assigned to nominal duty, but really with
other charge than TO eecti0neer for the TamnaDy
candidates Apart from these sources Of public or place
holding corruption, have reason TO know beyond any
question that the friends Of one single Tammany eand
date subscribed and paid out in his behalf and for his
private benefit in the late contest sum more than four
times the aggregate OF the entire in the hands the

power thus placed under its control there an enor

The Lacrosse Democrat boasts that it has,
next to The WEEKLY TRIBUNE, the largest
subscription of any political newspaper in the
country. 1t has won this extensive patronage
by the most open, hearty, determined champion
ship of the Rebel cause. 1t predicted and vir-
tually demanded President Lincoln'S assassina-
ton; it exulted and still exults, over that
fiendish crime and it day by day denOunces
the National Debt as a-huge, atrOcious swindle,
which is to be wiped out so soon as the Dem
ocracy achieves power. Here is one of its
latest utterances:
Rebellion crime Liar in your throat Phil sheridan!
Every hour uses the acts OF those who, from Bun Kun
to Richmond through four years OF battle and blood
sacrifices and struggles, abOred, suffered, fought ded
for the Of civil freedom Every passing day proves
the soundness OF their Judgment the wisdom OF those VINO
for independence. Every revolving year makes
the lost cause sacred the lovers OF liberty dearer
TO the hearts OF those who faithful to II trOm us H.
copton 10 Its temporary fall"
Such fulmnations have given The Democrat
a large circulation in this State, though it is
printed on the banks of the Mississippi; and
its patrons are steadily increasing.

Our latest intelligence by steamer on the re-
newal of the ZOllverein shows that Bavaria
tried to secure an absolute veto of the resolu-
tons of the Customs Parliament. This propo-
sition was promptly rejected by Count Bis
marck. A subsequent Cable dispatch has
informed us that Bavaria recedes from its
position and accepts the Zollyerein oil the
conditions formally agreed upon. The most
important of these conditions is that Bavaria
in commercial questions resigns its sovereignty
and fully recognizes the power of the General
Customs Parliament, which will assemble next
year. 1t is clear that this National Customs
Parliament, in which all Germany will be
represented, will be the harbinger of the
political union of Germany

As the Democracy have a majority in the
State Legislature on joint ballot, it is interest

Commissioner in place of John G.. Bergen, de-

cannot be held till February, 1902 and then

1t is not known yet whether and to what
extent the Italian Government has by firm
attitude toward France redeemed its weakness
during the earlier days of the Roman revolu-
ton. Its weakness cannot be explained away.
The proclamation of Victor Emmanuel, which
we publish this morning, will forever stain in
history the fame of the King to whom had
fallen the proud mission of uniting Italy The
charge against Garibaldi of having raised the
flag against the supreme ecclesiastical author
ity of the Pope is ridiculous on tbs part of a
Government which, since 1913, has not ceased
to defy the laws and the censures of the
Church

II may be remembered that in the month of
October aGG some was created by report that
Mr.. C. C. Flint, Chief Accountant OF the Norfolk Navy
Yard, had committed forgeres to large amount and
had fed from the country This report was accompanied
by other stories concerning Mr. Flpt which caused great
pain and modification 10 his famil! aud the large circle
OF his frcnds-but which were soon ascertaed TO be
false We now learn that at the Last term of the Corpo
ration Court of the city Of Norfolk Judge Thomas c.
Tabb presiding the indictments for forgery thathad been
found against Mr. Flint, quashed and that he was
discharged from The Norfolk papers publish the
decision OF the Indu In full from which 10 appears that

come within tho definition OF forgery.

alive to the Importance of education. He is
not afraid of intelligence, and is devisDg lib

elementary learning, but in the higher branches
of knowledge, and in the mechanical arts. Sue
