there was but little change in the net circu-

Mr.. Richardson's object in keeping down the
gross amount Of legal tenders is to limit the
overssuo to $685., 100000, with which he in
tends to squeeze through the current month,
and then, resuming his weekly sales of gold,
TO throw the responsibility of further imitation
on Congress, he has our cordial support.
Months ago we pointed out that to sell gold
for currency was the only course which he
could lawfully pursue under the circumstances
in which he was placed According to Mr..
Dawes, the revenue of the Government is now
fully equal to last years fgures-the currency
receipts somewhat more and the customs a
little less-and we can imagine no reasons
against selling gold now which could not
bave been urged just as forciby against SELL
ing it twelve months ago.

TIE PFSFRVK."

A great deal of attention has Of late been
given to the daily reports from Washington
OF the amount of legal-tender paper money
in circulation. Merchants are said to be
deeply interested in its fluctuations. and it is
reported that stocks are bought and sold
according as the Treasury weather-cock points
toward initiation or contraction. Early in the
week rumor was circulated in Wall Street
that the Secretary was about to draw in and
cancel two millions of his overissue. We are
of opinion that the Importance attached to Mr..
Richardson's shifting of the thimbles is alto
gether irrational. He is, after all, but the fly
on the cart-wheel SO long as he refuses to
sell gold, he has no option but to manufac-
turo paper money or suspend payment. since

An extract from one Of the Rochester newspapers
concerning an alleged injustice to young stonecut
ter named MacOnnen, in Cornell University, who was
supporting himself at his studies by working at his
trade in the village recently crept into the Educa-
tional Notes of The TRIBUNE An officer Of the col
ege advises that the entire statement of facts
which the charge of injustice based is without
foundation. Maconnen received precisely the same
opportunities and the encouragement as any
other student, and withdrew from the class not be-
cause of any declaration by the Vice-Presldent or
any other officer of the college but solely because at
that time he didn't seem sufficiently far advanced
to be certain Of passing his examination. The next
year be returned aud received his degree. II is
probable that there is scarcely reputable college
in the United States in which the same absolute
justice toward labor students would not DO incul-

graduates last year at Dartmouth was brick

There was funny debate on the FrankiDg
bill in tho House yesterday. Several members
who very much long for the liberty OF put
ting their autographs on free mail matter. ana
not believe that the abolition of the Franklng
Privilege had much reduced the expenses OF
tho Post Office Department. They prooapiy
said the same thing within week after the
abuse was cut off; and they knew as much
about it then as now Others were not SO
solcitous about the Franking Privilege Tor
themselves but they were most anxious for
the weekly newspapers they manifested
a tender concern in that direction winch
was quito touching. Mr. Butler thought
that some of the newspapers who had
asked for the abolition of the FrankIng law
were sick of it, rs he knew they would be
before the year was ended Nobody told MN
that he was sick of it before the year begun.
Mr.. KassOn wanted to circulate the pubic
documents by selling them at price below
cost, az is done in England. gentleman
from Missouri assured Mr.. KassOn that that
sort of thing might do in tho cffctc kinSuoihs
of Europe, where the ruling classes were in
terested in keeping the masses in absolute
ignorance. They might sell agricultural re-
ports and speeches on the Tariff at half price

As tending to check the steady increase of
our municipal Indebtedness, We shall be glad
to sec the project of building new City Prison
abandoned. If new prison is necessary we
hope that cOgent reasons will be given for
making the outlay, and that the cost of build
ing it will be met by annual taxation as the
work goes on. The Legislature undoubtedly
takes the right course in repeating the act of
last year. which provides for building one out
of the proceeds of bonds. The necessity of
the outlay should first be made manifest, and,
az the best safeguard against a second Court
House job, the cost of the work should be in
cluded in the taxes.

Use, the Steam Canal-bOat Commission at
Albany have adjourned without doing any
thing. They were instructed to award State
prize for model boat to navigate the canals
by steam. They agree that the Baxter boat
fulfilled the conditions of the law; but the
Dobbin boat was also a meritorious one.
Therefore, deoreed the Commission. with ad-
mirabe iuconsequence, the whole business
must be referred back to the Legislature.
The natural disposition of this case, one would
suppose. would be to pay the award to the
successful competitor, whoever lie may be-
the award, however, is relegated to the Legis-

We notice growing tendency to look to
tho public treasury of this city for the means
to furnish rapid transit. Several bills are
in the Legislature pointing that way, and Pc
titions are daily presented in favor of the
passage of one or another of them. If any
such aid is extended let it be on these condi-
tions That the money be raised by taxation
and that a majority of the voters at general
election consent to such taxation. Such vote
will be a more certain indication of the wishes
of our citizens than any number of petitions.
