THE APPORTIONMRNT OF THE Ma,
TIONAI CURRENCY,

Under the law OF 1865 and the census of
1870 certain sections Of the country, particu-
larry the West and South, are entitled to
s25, 600, 900 national bank circulation In addl-
tion to what they have at present. At the
time the law was passed these portions Of the
country were not In position to avail them
selves Of the Increase, and the entire amount
was taken up by the East. The law in question
makes II itlncumbent upon tho Treasury Depart
ment to distribute this Increase among the
needy sections hut In the very nature OF things
the execution OF the law Is now impossible.
To obyiate this practical difficulty Mr.. Mon
roe has introduced bill providing for au In
crease Of the national bank currency to the
extent Of Sos O00, 600, and will probably en-
deayor 10 secure action upon It before the
end Oi The session. This, to be sure, Is au In
iatlon Of the currency, but there Is no other
way In which the provisions OF the law can
be carried out. Congress should either repeal
tho law or pass Mr.. Monroe's bill, and thus
relieve the Department from q most embar-
rassing position. The bill In question reads
as follows;
he u FaIrtSd, &C., That, In addition to the
amount OF national hank notes for circulation
may he issued t25, 900, which shall be fur
nlshed to banking associations organized or to
he organized In those States and Territories
which have less than their proportion under a re-
apportionment OF the national bank circulation,
based upon the census Of 1870 and upon the prln-
pie yiens S' sn act sSt,tlsI art y, ~ sng tT

RESULT OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN WY
DINING. Gov. Campbell, of Wyoming, in
his message to the third Legislative As
sembly Of Wyoming Territory, makes the
following statement in regard to the prac-
tical working OF woman suffrage there:
The experiment of granting to woman
a voice in the government, which was in
augurated, for the first time in the history
of our country, by the first Legislative As
sembly of Wyoming, has now been tried
for fom wears. | have heretofore taken
occasion to express my views in regard to
the wisdom and justice Of this measure,
and my conviction that its adoption had
been attended only by good result. Two
years more Of observation of the practi-
cal working Of the system have only
served to deepen the conviction that what
we in this Territory have done has been
well done, and that our system of impair
tal suffrage is an unqualified success

Is placid temper is never disturbed by the
hired-girl questions, and it never endan-
gers its life by learning to skate. No clam,
we believe, ever yet skated. 1t never lives
next door to q girl who practices foul

any cats frolicking around under its win
