THE passage OF the currency bill has
not sent things kiting in Wall street.
Gold and stocks were lower yesterday.
TWAS generally supposed that when the
bill passed there would be a strong up
ward turn in securities, but ION the con.
trary, quite the reverse" has been the
case. Itreminds US Of that ancient story
about the time that the whole world was
to give great shout on o certain day
in order 10 see what the com.
bined effect would be. Everybody
however remained silent to hear other
people shout, and the effect, therefore,
was nj. Tho Wall street men seem to
have been waiting on each other to do
something. and each failing to meet the
others expectations they have oil let 60
their hold together. However, 1t is init
mated that "there is a method in their
Madness" and that the present depres.
sion is part OF the tactics Of formidable
"bull" party preliminary to a grand cam.
paign.

We publish this morning o communl
cation from tho Rev. Mr. FnHRR in regart
to taking some steps to utilize the presen
temperance movement. Mr.. Fisher take
for granted that the Council will do moth
ing whatever in answer to the petitions
that have been submitted to 1t, not even
TO submit the question Of license. We
presume he Is right in this conclusion
The action Of Tuesday night plainly In
dicates that the Second Branch have de-
termined that the people shall not have
an opportunity to express themselves on
the subject. This being the case, the only
chance to turn the present movement to
some practical account seems 70 be to
urge upon Council the necessity Of pro-
tectlng the community against some ol
the evils Of On indlscriminste and ire
spouslble traffic in liquor. When we sec
youths Of o tender age staggering through
the streets Of the city in open day
under the influence Of the stuff that
has been retailed to them contrary
to law In some Of the saloons OF the city,
tits certainly time to know whether there
is any power lett among US to protect the
families Of our people. A member of the
Council tells US that he met in one short
walk in the city a dozen young men un-
der the influence Of liquor, and the lady
who presented the petition to Council on
Tuesday night told Of six young men
whom she had met in her walk home
from church that afternoon in drunken
condition. Is there no remedy for this?
Are citizens not TO have even the protec-
ton that the law gives them? Are the
provisions OF the law in regard to minors
and drunkards to be as openly and notori.
ously disregardcd during they year to come
as they are now. II so, the city will be
ieariully demoralized in few years more.
We call the attention oI citizens Of all
classes, those who favor license and those
who oppose it, to the necessity Of protec.
ting society, especially the young, against
the evils that are upon US in consequence
Of the reckless disregard Of the law regu-
lating tho sale OF liquors. Arc we willing
to see the present condition Of things
grow worse, untilit finally becomes hope.

THE Ohio STATE Journal gives some in.
teresting tables of figures showing the
current expen ditures of the various penal,
relormatory and benevolent institutions
Of Ohio. In a comparison with the cost
Of running the Institutions Of other States
she makes very favorable exhibit. Thus
Ohio expends $149 GO less per capita for
her deaf and dumb than Illinois, 800 10
less for her insane and $l21 G3 less for
her imbCciles. New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Indiana, and nearly oil the
other States, show larger expenditures in
this direction, and make no better pro.
vision Tor their unfortunate classes than
Ohio.

man TO stand up in council and vote to
refuse the people Of o ward which has
near 100000 worth Of taxable property
the right of voting on such an issue,
when said Councilman does not live in

nothing into the city treasury, except
