"CUIIIsENCY HsILL.v

Currency bills may be considered
Kings of the past, so far as there is any
prospect of the present Congress passing
my measure which will become law.
The President has put quietus to all in
lation measures and while the imitation
SITS have majority large enough to pass
my measure they may agree upon, yet they
ire not strong enough to override a presi-
iential Veto On the other hand, their
itrength is such, that it will be impossible
o mature any measure, at present, looking
o the retirement of greenbacks, a return to
pecie payments, and, ultimately, free
banking, still we doubt not that measure
litter measure, and bill after bill, will be
proposed and considered, in order that
members may have full opportunity to
Ientilate themselves and their opinions

rade tor future use. Be this as it may.
he question must hereafter be met and de-
,ided. Senator Morton of Indiana, the
eader of the republican intlationists; is
,reditcd with saying, after hearing the vote
message, 'the President is mistaken if he
thinks the mouth of the Mississippi can
De damned with straw" If we take this
connection with some of his other utter
inces and remark Of Senator Carpenter,
It simply means that the fight will now be
transferred to the several congressional dis
trcts and that majority of in1ationsts will,
IN his, or their, opinion, be returned to the
next Congress, sufficient to pass a similar,
or worse, bill over n veto. We use the
word "worse" in our, not their, view of the
matter. But can that little thing be did !?
We verv much doubt it. A full and fair
discussion of the effects of initiation at the
west would result, it seems to us, in any
thing but good to the inhationists, and in
much of good to the country at large, and
its credit. They suffered too much and too
long from the inflated currency of 1885 -'37,
to be very anxious to try it again. The
present Congress was elected on an anti-in-
iiation pledge, which is of some significance
as to the result next time. The failure of
an attempt to hold an initiation meeting at
Cincinnati, last week, shows the feeling
there, and we believe it to be the same
throughout the whole west, with, perhaps,
here and there an exception. Upon this
point, for we have no fear of the east, we
will close by quoting from the St. Paul Pi-
oneer, the leading ne wspaper west, or north
west, of Chicago, ii says We want to
enter protest against the assumption of
the eastern press that the people Of the
west favor initiation. 1t is the misfortune
OF this section to be as badly misrepresent-
ed in Congress on that as on nearly every
other public question. Not a public meet
ing of any kind, nor board of trade, nor a
single citizen that we have heard of, has
petitioncd for any such stupendous folly ;
and as for that matter, editors of the most
intelligent papers are opposed to it. While
the public sentiment of the state is repre-.
sentcd at Washington is all one way, the
fact is that initiation cannot muster cor
poral's guard among men of average edu-
ton in Minnesota"

VIEWS OF EX-GOV. SMITH.
a reporter of the Tribune Thursday eve
ming called upon ex-Gov. J. Gregory Smith,
temporarily stopping at the Windsor Hotel,
and asked him for his opinion of the veto
of the currency bill He said he had form
ed very decided one in the matter, and it
was that the veto of this bill was the saliva
ton of this country. This was the univer-
sal sentiment in the New England states,
where all considered that this was the only
safe course the president could have taken.
Its approval would surely have tended to
the depreciation of every value, and ulti-
mately the decentralization of the country.
Luckily this was now ayerted. and the next
question was whether Congress would effect
any compromise between the two extremes
and remedy as far as possible this currency
muddle. 1t was greatly to be feared that this
would not be accomplished. In his opinion
the only safe plan was a gradual
return TO specie payment. He was
favorably disposed toward the free bank
ing system, but this would not be safe
except upon specie basis. The CONNER
cial and financial world would soon feel
the beneficial results of the veto. The in
tlationsts themselves, however conscien-
tious they may have been in their support
Of the bill, would still be enabled to see
how mistaken they had been in their views.
Without doubt there were many IN the
western states with whom there was strong
need of expansion in the currency but the
increase that was proposed by Congress
would not have improved matters with
them. There would still have remained
the same scarclty.of money in some of the
western states. 1t was natural law that
made New York the great commercial and
financial center and the great bulk of the
money in circulation would find its way
there, no matter to what extent its volume
was increased More method in the distri-
button of the currency was needed Here
was where the compromise between the in
flationlsts and the anti-inhationists was need
ed, but it seemed probable that in theirpres-
ent excitement little to this end could be
expected. He said it would be imprudent
and premature for any one TO speak of the
probable political result of this veto Pro.

PRICE OF CORN.

There are two sides to every question,
and 1t is fortunate that it is so. 1t makes no
difference that the mass OF people can be
made to see only one side in times of hue
and cry, because the time will surely come
when there will be candid, careful ex-
animation of every important question. Re-
action always follows excitement. 1t comes
sometimes, too late to prevent hasty action,
but on most subjects in time to correct such
haste and rectify injustice. The hue and
cry for some months past has been against
the high rates of frcights charged by rail-
roads from the west 20 the seaboard. The
argument has been that these high freights
have injured, and are running, the farmers
of the west, because 1t costs nearly all the

We know not how much truth there is
in the report, but it is said that Carpenter,
Morton and Ferry-him of Michigan-are
not smoking quite as much as they were
at ''the other end of the avenue" Upon
initiation, at least, their influence has ended
like their cigars-in son,kc.

CXrviNa 4 TURKEY.

N.eH ah - NhN NNNF.
Max Adeler says there is nothing a
oung unmarried man likes better
aan to go to the house of friend,
nd be asked to carve the turkey. He
ever carved turkey in his life, and
nth an old maid on one side of him
catching him closely, aud he has a
enderness, he feels embarrassed when
,e begins. First he pushes the knife
own towards one of the thigh joints,
nd he plunges the knife around in
earch ofit, Sunth he makes minee
ueat out of one whole quarter of the
owl. Then he sharpens his Fork, aud
ackles it again. Al last, while max
ng terrific die, he hits the joint sud
Ienly, and the leg flies out into the
naiden's lap while her dress front is
covered with shower Of ~stufing.
Chen he goes for the other leg, and
yhen the Young lady itellse him he
ooks warm, the weather seems to him
uddenly to become 400 degrees war;
ner. This leg he finally pulls loose
With his fingers. He lays it on the
,dge of the plate, and while he is
racking the wing, he gradually pushes
he leg over on the clean. table cleth,
lnd when he picks it upit. slips from
MS hand into the gravy dish and
,plashes the gravy around for six
square yards. Just as he has made
lp his mind that the turkey has no
oints to his wings, the host asks him
{ he thinks the Indians can really be
,ivilized. The girl next to him laughs
and he says he will explain his views
IN the subject after dinner Then he
sops his brow with his handkerchief and
presses the turkey SO hard with the
fork that it slides off the dish and up.
