Taxing State Bank Notes.

The executive officers Of the Government
are strengthening their means of enforcing
the tax upon the circulation Of State banks.
The Attorney-General and the commission
ers have decided that the issuing Of such
State bank bills is a paying oM. Therefore
they cannot escape taxation.
We are gratifed by the vigilance Of the
Federal officers in this matter. The country
should not for moment tolerate the multi
form issues Of State banks, which would
romplicate the currency of the country, and
bring upon us very great disaster. The
older people know what terrible thing it
was to have currency that would not carry
= man fifty miles on any road before he would
find i, below par, and only passed at dis
count. We have now currency well Sc
cured, uniform, and equally credited every
where in the Union. To allow that TO be
mixed up with such vast variety OF trash
as unlimited numbers of State banks would
put forth would be the worst thing for the
people.
The currency is we'll secured and solvent.
Let US have no other. 1t is the best we ever
had: we should stick to it.

Paper or Gold?

time of panic. no matter what the amount of
paper in circulation, or what the standard,

what is the gold standard? Nobody knows.
Nor do these persons care. They want a

DR.. Kershaw, of st. Louis, tells of people
who work too much with their brains:
"They frequently work all day, and at
night think out more work for tomorrow.
After while the thinking gets a-going and
won't stop, but 'goes on blindly, like poor,
sightless horse, which, having all its life been
accustomed to walk round and round, bar
messed to some machine, at last, in its death
struggle, mistakes every sound of its masters
voice for command to labor, and mechani-
caily, but yainly, with its last breath, tries to
Struggle up to fulfill the old routne.' With
this constant work comes sleeplessness, which
means death to the mental and physical.
You may toll me that a man cannot work,
cannot walk, cannot eat; but will not lose
hope until you tell me that he cannot Sleep
Every organ must be used properly, that a
perfect balance may be kept up. Yet, every

the garments be has put off, can have little
hope of continued health and strength, with
which to contend successfully with the prac-
teal things of life"
