The Currency,

We were mislsd last week by one o.
our daily exchanges, into publishing
an item stating that both houses of
Congress had passed the act legaliz-
ing the issue of the $44,O00.00O le-
gal tender reserve. The bill had
passed the House, but the Senate did
not act on it till Monday of this week,
when it was adopted by that body
with an amendment providing also
for the distribution of $4,000, 900 OF
National Bank currency among the
States having less than their share,
without making provision for the
withdrawal of currency from States
having an excess. The bill now goes
back to the house for concurrence, OF
which there is little doubt, and then
TO the President for his approval. A
strong pressure will doubtless be
brought to bear on the President TO
secure veto, and the fate Of the bill
Is not yet certain.

significant fact in connection with this

Anti-Slavery Reunion--Public Mo-
tice.

At meeting of old anti slavery men
assembled by invitation at Chicago. on
the 18th day CT January last, it was
resolved to hold general Reunion OF
Abolitionists or Anti-Slavery men; and
a committee was appointed to deter
mine upon the time and place, and
give public notice of holding such
meeting. The committee. consisting
of the persons undersigned, hereby
give notice that the said Reunion of
Anti-Slavery friends will take place in
Chicago, Illinois, .on the 9th day of
June, 1874, and continue three days,
the first meeting being at one O'Clock
p. m of the 9th day. when those who
have come together. will be received
by an address of welcome from one of
the citizens of Chicago.
All persons who were active
Abolitionists at any time when
the cause of the slave needed friends,
ere especially invited to this Reunion,
and to take part therein in bonds of
sympathy. The public at large, and
particularly the younger people, who
have grown up under or since the
period of that agitation for national
reform, are invited to attend, and all
are made welcome.
The proceedings will embrace a re-
view of the past; the period of sacri-
fee with faith, and hope and congratu
la tons with gratitude, for the final
success which they have been permit
ted to realize; and will consist of ad-
dresses from persons who were former
ly prominent as speakers or writer's for
the cause of the slave; in biographical
notices Of persons who were distin-
guished in that field of labor in the
west, or who have become the men of
the nation and are now dead; in the
recital Of "reminiscences and historical
sketches of the past; and in singing
the songs of liberty which were once
effective in this reform, by members
of the choirs or those who join with
them in the music of the old Liberty
Minstrel; and probably in a concert Of
distinguished singers appropriate to
the occasion.
Meetings will be held in the fore
moons, afternoons and evenings; and
programmes will be published in ad-
vance of each days proceedings.
To this end-the making of this
gathering together of the friends of
those who were once slaves but now
free, both interesting and p oftable,
we solicit the cooperation of all the
people, and invite them to join with
us in national jubilee

Will Railway Companies Obey the
Law


Railway men are puzzled over the
law fixing freight rates. 1t is said to
be particularly hard on lumber carry
ing roads, rs the price allowed, ae-
cording to their figures, is less than
cost, for long distances. 1t is alleged
that, had the law been in force in 1918.
the earnings of the st. Paul Company
would have been half a million less
than it was.
The reduction from Madison to Mil
waukee, on grain and -four, is 20 per
cent; on live stock 80, and agricul-
tural immplements 40 per cent. The
rates generally on all lines are reduced
from Is to As per cent.
The bill originally gave the Com
missioners discretionary power to fix
rates. 1t passed the Senate in that
shape, but this provision was objeoted
to by leading reformers in the House.
and was subsequently stricken out. We
think that In this pioneer measure the
commission should have had power to
arrange rates to meet exigencies. 1t
the Legislature knew exactly what to
do, why appoint any commissioners at
all?
Considering themselves placed in a
position where they cannotdo business
at profit, railway men have suggested
three plans for action, as detailed in
the the fa ~ aa1 Is fg6sy can during the
present season, and trust to the next
Legislature for modification Of the
obnoxious portions of~the act; secondly,
to disregard it altogether and carry it
into the court; and, thirdly, to ruu
the freight and passenger trains togeth-
err as much as possible, to the great in
convenience OF the travelling public,
and thus bring the law into disre-
pute
The managers will have to decide
the question soon The 28th day of
April is the time fixed for the law to
take effect. and if the companies dis
regard or disobey it, we understand
that suits will be commenced. We
think the companies will not defy the
law; tho SENSIBLE, clear-he ided men
advise against it, we learn. 1t is not
likely to prove polite or profitable to
disobey the statute, and profits are
what the companies are after.-Madi-
son Journal.

WHAT CONGRESSMAN BARBER SAYS

letter to the Chicago Journal.
The story that Representative j..
Allen Barber has declined to be can
didate for reelection ia the Third Con-
gressional District of Wisconsin, is
true; but it is not true, as the Chicago
Tribune puts it, that he has resigned,
because he is so intelligent and dis
erect a politician as to seize upon the

shore from a ship that is water-logged
and certain to speedily sink out Of

story: but there is nothing in it. Mr..
Barber, who ought to know something
about it, says that he declines to be a
candidate for recollection, because he
pledged himself when last nominated
not to be candidate again. That's all
there is of it, aid the Tribune's ship
wreck is good only for the marines.

THERE seems to be a general de-
preston of the money market all
over the civilized world. Perhaps the
feeling in London is fair meter of
the universal financial situation. Her
capital is invested pretty much every
where. The condition of affairs in
India, the Spanish war, the falling
off of expectations to the United
States, the unproductive investments
in American railway bonds, the fnan-
cial depression in Austria and the
uncertainty of foreign investments
generally, have caused something ap-
preaching panic in England. IF
our own monetary misery needs COM
