PACIFIC COAST RTERs.

The question of erecting building
at the Centennial Exhibition for the
convenience of visitors from Nevada,
which has been agitated for some time
past seems likely to have received
practical solution at last. At a recent
meeting of the State Board of Centen-
NAL Commissioners, a preamble and
resolutions We're adopted, copy of
which furnished the Eureka Sentir 81
by Major w. W. Mccoy, reads
as follows:
WHEREAS, The people of the State of
Nevada, at the last session of the Leg
islature, did appropriate the sum of
twenty thousand dollars, to be expend-
ed under the direction of the State
Board of Centennial Commissioners,
for tae purpose of properly represent
ing ths State at the Centennial Exhibi-
ton in 1876. And
WHEREAS. The Commissioners are
DESTROYS of erecting building in the
Park as place Of meeting for Informal
ton, and for the convenience of the
people of the State; and believing that it
will be mutually agreeable for the peo-
pie of the Pacific Coast, to be known as
the Pacific Coast Headquarters.
Resolved, that we respectfully re-
quest the people of California. and
Oregon to join with US in the erection
and maintenance of q building suf-
ficient to accommodate the people of
the Pacific Coast; to meet together;
therefore, be it
Resolved, that our United States
Centennial Commissioner, Hon. W.
W. Mccoy, be requested to tsansmit
the above preamble and resolutions TO
the Governor Of California, Oregon,
and Arizona, and request them to call
the attention of their respective Legis-
latures to the same.

II. L. RICE,
II. II. YERINeroN,
Executive Committee of the State
Board OF Centennial Commission
ers.
CARSON. November IS, 1875.
This suggestion is the most practical
yet offered on the subject. A building
for the exclusive use of Nevadans
would require an expenditure almost
equal to what will be necessary for
building that will meet the require
ments of all the visitors from the Pa
ciic Coast. Ii it meets the approval
of California, Oregon and Arizona, a
few thousand dollars from each will
secure the erection of .."the Pacific
Coast Headquarters" where persons
from every State and Territory on the
Coast can meet, interchange views and
ideas and feel at home.

Matilda.-A Tragedy.
BY AUSTIN DoBsoN. r
Beside the stream at eventide
We paused before we parted; y.
She, being older, only. sighed
But was broken hearted.
"Once more.' said, 'our troth we plight
Beside the brimming ocean,;
The river rolled its usual height,
The rest was all emotion.
She answered not-my Love, my Queenl
She gave gentle shiver,
(Old seasoned suitors know how keen
The breeze cornesup that river.)
"a flower" 81 said, "a flower for Sign
OF Love approved-confest"
marked Rose more red than wine,
That rose upon her breast.
She gave it, sublest essence fell
From each pink petal fold,
Iwore 1t-though my sense OF smell
Was something dull from cold.
She went, and yet no Fate has lit
Our poor hymenial taper;
But that's not all the worst OF it,
The rose was only paper!

Article l., beginning with Lent, maintains
that there are no valid ecclesiastical reasons
for observing it,. traces its history sin the early
Christian church and i'll the time of the Refor-
nation" and refers to such of the various
practices and ceremonies connected with it as,
are likely to prove interesting points of cOn->

discusses the question OF observance of Sunday,
the nature OF its authority, and the degree Of
its obligation.
Article II. A dissertation on the decadencc,
of histrisnc art enters largely into this article,
which is rather an essay on Macready and tho
character OF the stage than a review Of the
"reminiscences.
Article II. when a gas assumes form so,
far different from its narmal form as to-
be practically distinct gas. it is called
by chemists ailotropic. Thus ozone is al,otrop-
ic oxyge1. Now as ozone differs from oxygen,
so does Mr.. Haweis' Christianity differ from
the Christianity of the New Testament.
Hence we have ventured to give the religious
system set forth by Mr. uaweis the name of
Allotropc Christianity.'' The article is devo-,

then his theory of Christianity.

Which shows an expansion of

Which SHOWS an expansion OF
value OF $154, 1919, S1S
There are other items still which might be
given in order to show that the net expansion
has been even greater than this-as, for in
stance, the change in the national banking
law which released the greenbacks held as re-
serve for circnlatlon-but that is unnecessary.
We have shown that there has been no contrac-
ton of the currency, consequently the evils
which the authors OF this circular refer to
could not have been caused by contraction,
and as they have based their prescription on
the idea that contraction caused the evils it was
intended to cure, their remedy, even if a good
one instead OF bad one, is Of course not APP
plicable.

The Volume Of Currency.

The New York Bulletin examines into the
the currency since the close of the war, and
cerrccts the statement recently made by Gen.
Ewing, that it had been reduced 81, 800, 000,
600, and the opposite statement of the New
York Graphic that it had been expanded with
in the same period to the amount of So, 754,-
SSS. In the estimate OF Gen. Ewing lie had
included some 81, 100, 100000 of temporary OBJ
legations which no more served the purpose of
currency than do government bonds, while the
Graphic; makes an error in placing the amount
OF currency in circulation at the end of Octo-
Der, 1868, at S639, 2l9, OBS. The Bulletin, fter
referring to lesser errors, summarizes the fol-
lowing as the items of circulation on the 3lst
of October, 1873;
Plain egal-tenders and frac. cur $454,2o0,oo0
Interest-bealing legal-tenders 50,000,00
National bank notes, 100000, 900
State bank notes, $4,000, 900
Total currency October 81. 1865, $774, 200, 900
On the LIST of July. 1875, the items of circu-
lation stood as follows:
Legal-tender notes, s375,S4 ,6S7
Fractional currency, A., l29, 424
Note of existing banks out
standing, 31S, AS, 4O6
Notes OF failed and liquidating
banks still circulating, estimat. 5000, 900
Total circulation July /, 1875, s742, us, sly
Thus we have now s742,O $1,000 of circula-
ton against $777, 600 in October, 1865,
showing contraction of 1872, 100000 within
nearly ten years.
The Louisville Commercial closes an ex-
haustive article on the subject of expansion and
contraction, as follows, after giving the fig
ures, with some slight variations, quoted above:
Thus it appears that the paper circulation
OF the United States on the LIST OF July, 1875,
was s34, 567, 942, 80 more than or the 1st of
October, 1865, even when including with the
| amount outstanding at the latter date s30, 000,-
600 Of United States obligations hot properly
to be included in the paper currency. This
certainly does not look as if contraction of the
currency could have produced the evils which
the authors of this circular attribute to it.
| But the Chicago Tribune states the case in
anot er way, which shows that so far from
there having been contraction, there has been!
in reality greater expansion than the figures
above given indicate. In order to determine
whether there has been initiation, says the Tai-
buae, we must not only compare the amount
of circulation outstanding at the two periods,
| but its purchasing power. In October, 1865
gold was at LAG and the greenback dollar was
worth 6S cents. July l, 1875, gold was quo
| ted at l165all7. and the greenback dollar was,
consequently, worth IS cents. Comparing the
purchasing power of the circulation October l,
| 1865, and that of July l, 1875, Oh this basis:
and we have these figures for the two dates:
Circulation Oct. 81, 1865, worth $4S9, 26s, 265
Circulation July j, 1875, worth 653,46S, 0S3
