THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

We have no desire, even II we had the
ability, to discuss the currency question
with our correspondent who has 90 ably
considered the matter In his communica-
ton, the conclusion of which 10 published
In our columns, this morning we must,
however, take issue with him on one point,
although we presume that the difference
between us 10 more seeming than real. We
understand him to say that the currency
question is not Legitimate political ques-
"tion," that 1t belongs exclusively to con-
gress and the treasury department, and
that the people have nothing to do with 1t
90 far as voting on II is concerned. If
this understanding of his position is correct
and we, now, have nothing to say rela-
tive to the particular manner in which the
question should be decided-it seems to us
that 1t is political question and one on
which the people should act, even If the
final steps must be taken by congress and
the treasury department. The currency
question, as considered during the past
elections, presented broad, distinct issue.
1t was whether the policy of the country
should be o speedy return to specie pay
mepts or further issue of paper money.
This question of policy was, as it seems to
us,for the people to decide. If they favored
q speedy return to specie payments, then
they would elect congress that would
legislate with that end in view but II,
on the other hand, they desired further
issue Of paper money, then the congress
elected BY them would represent that pol
icy. To this extent IL was q political ques-
ton, the same as the old controversy
relative to the United States bank, the
questions of tariffs for protection or for
revenue alone, the policy of voting sub
sides, etc., etc, ARE political questions. The
people, 10 the first instance, determine the
policy to be pursued, and it then devolvef
upon congress to devise the ways and
means, and to decide upon the particular
form of legislation. The movement of the
last year may not have been an honest one
and we are inclined to agree with our
correspondent that there was much of in
sincerity and dishonesty in it--but 1t does
seem to us that the question whether the
government should pursue policy of re
sumption or initiation is essentially polit
ical one, requiring, however, discussion
of financial theories, and that the manner
of carrying out such policy is Legislative
one which requires "the genius of fnan
cier and not that of politician"

Gen. MILES On THE INDIAN.

Gen. Miles' official report Of the opera
tons Of the Indian Territory expedition,
under his command, is copied into the
Army and Nary Journal The first part Is
uninteresting TO the general reader, but to-
wards the end the General sums up the re-
suits accomplished by his command, and,
from experience, takes sensible view OF
the situation. He thinks that the Indians
should be disarmed and dismounted, their
ponies sold, and the proceeds returned to
them in domestic stock. He also thinks
that il would be much better ii the savages
were brought within the pale OF civilization
The General argues that this method
would place them beyond the possibility OF
harm, and be vast saving to the govern
ment. We think the General is right in
all his conclusions The people OF this
country are tired Of feeding the Indians all
winter, and allowing them to murder dur
ing the summer, when they can obtain food
for themselves and ponies.
The report ends by saving that ''thC
sooner they are made 10 know and realize
the BENEFITS, advantages, and blessings O
civilization, the quicker will they become
| civilized and Christianized.

DRUNK IN THE PULPIT

Lansing, Michigan, had irs;-ciass sen
sation the other day. 1t seems that Rev.
III. III. Mills, a Baptist minister, who came
there three weeks ago, heavily armed with
recommendations from the place where he
had last resided, was invited by the men,
bers OF the Baptist church to remain with
them, and preach the Gospel. For a time
everything vert well, and Mr.. Mills won
the confidence and respect OF all who formed
his acquaintance; but alas for the frailty OF
man, this reverend loved the tempting bowl
and last Sunday he ertered the pulpit in a
state OF beastly intoxication, and during
the afternoon of that day frequented the
saloons of Lansing and caroused with "the
boys Mr.. Mills, it is said, was a young
man of much promise, progressing in APP,
pearance, well educated, courteous and
afiable. He made arrangements to preach
in DeSoto every other Sabbath, and the
Baptists and Others literally subscribed FOL
his support. This new chapter in hi.
career will sadden the hearts of every per
son who looks for purity of character in
ministers Of the Gospel, and such cases ar,
calculated 10 weaken our confidence il

4" DRUNKEN DULLES.

The circumstances attending the death
Of Mr.. Coulter, and the conduct of the
Typographical Union are provoking general
comment from all fair and Ideal papers in
the West The Topeka B'tde, speaking of
the funeral says:
Although he had been a member al th- Printers
Union, that body didn't turn out : hen that III
stituiOn can't manage man, IL perSecutes him and
now that THE TIMES is publishing some facts about
it, drunken bues .longing Ia il threaten the editor
with personal violence. ANY institution that must
I've sustained 10y brute force must necessarily Lack all
other elements Of merit, that Is always the last
resort.
This is the opinion expressed by every
person with whom We have conyersed.
When the Blade calls them drunken bull
lies" it speaks no more than the truth. 4
majority OF the members are not even re-
spectacle, but are yagabonds, commonly
known as 'tramps.' They have no homes,
few friends, and are like ''the wandering
jew" condemned to spend their lives in IN
ceasing travel. They never identity them
selves with a town, neyet own a square
inch Of land, and are always poverty,
stricken. This is the rule, there are excep,
tions. Drunken bullies" may attempt ID
browbeat, may threaten and denounce re,
spectacle men, but every day the power OF
the Union, and its control over the publish
ers OF this country is fast departing. We
do not know Of one newspaper in the Mis-.
souri, valley that is so lost to decency that
it endorses or supports set Of men, or 'ar
institution that must be sustained by mere
brute force"

THE RATIONAL FINANCES

The debt statement for the present month
is highly gratifying. The reduction has
been S2,355,OO0, and the condition OF the
treasury, in spite OF a small currency bal
ance, is satisfactory.
There is now on hand, exclusive of coin
certificates, 81, DID,, 600 in gold, which is
fifteen million dollars more than at the
same time last year. 1t is the purpose Of
the Secretary to hoard gold as far as posi-
BILE, with a view to ultimate preparation for
specie payments, and to use it in the pur-
chase of currency. Even should there be
no increase for sixty days, he has gold
enough now to meet the demands OF the
sinking fund and pay the July interest on
the gold bearing bonds, besides leaving a
large surplus for the purchase OF currency
Notwithstanding the continued hard times
and the consequent decrease OF revenue, W
TO the tenth month of this fiscal year, more
than eleven millions OF the national debt
have been paid. During the same time last
year the reduction was only two millions
BY direction OF Secretary Bristow, five mil
lions OF gold Will he told in New York the
present month.
This healthy condition OF our national
finances is encouraging. 1t shows that We
are making sure and constant progress from
the depression into which the panic threw
us, and that the ground We now gain is firm
and substantial The business fabric, now
in process of rebuilding, promises to be an
enduring structure

him in reference to the bill. Mr.. Earle
the Deputy, replied that the claim had moi
been brought before him in an official way
and hence lie could not take any action
This seemed to satisfy Duiey, and he re-
tired. Afterwards he returned and loiteret

THE AMERICEH RIFLEMEN.

The American rifle team which is to
shoot at Dublin has been selected. 1t is
not certain that it is as good team as that
which shot against the Irishmen last year,
but it will certainly do us credit, ard we
can safely trust the reputation OF American
marksmen in its hands. 1t is TO be hoped
that the Americans will not be hampered
by rules which will place them at an unfair
disadvantage at Dublin, and the English
men will so modify the rules of Wimbledon
as to render it possible for the Americans 10
shoot match with the best London marks
men. As the Wimbledon rules forbid the
Use of any rifles except those approved by
the Government it is, OF cuurse, impractic.
able for the Americans to take part in a
match which would involve their shooting
with unfamiliar English rifles.
