SENATOR BOOTHS PLAN.

Senator Booth, of California, though the
acknowledged representative Of no organized
party, represents class SO numerous that
neither of the other great parties can afford
10 treat them with hduteRr. While in that
large, unsettled class referred TO opinion in
regard to the financial problem is probably
as variant as in any other party, section tor
class, there is yet strong likelihood that they
may concentrate in support Of the financial
scheme proposed by Senator Booth, which
has at least the merit OF being based on solid
ground. The plan of Senator Booth is thus
briefly outlined by the ST. Louis itepujitcan ::
Briefly, il consists Of an interconvertble
gold bond bearing interest at the rate of 3.6j
per cent and running indefinitely, and the
abolition of the national bank notes. II diff.
fers from Mr.. kelley'5 inerconvertiblc bond
scheme in being based on gold bonds, whereas
Kelley's scheme is based on currency bonds.
Booths plan contemplates return TO coin !;
kelley's does not. Senator Booth reasons
that the 3G5 bonds being purchasable for
greenbacks, and again recoverable into
greenbacks at pleasure, would become a favo
rite security with investors in this country,
and in q very short time be at par with gold.
Then greenbacks would be as good as gold,
and there would be resumption without the
cost of resumIhg; and, besides, when that
moment arrived, it would be possible to con
vert the whole national debt, some of which
now bears and some per cert interest, in.
to q new debt bearing only 3 60 per cent As
to the national banks, the California senator's
reason for proposing 10 take from them the
power Of issuing notes Is that they pay only
per cent for privilege that is worth G per
cent. 10 them; in other words, they pay the
government per cent for a guaranty which
they cell To the same government for per
cent. Either the greenbacks or the national
bank notes must be got rid Of he says, and
he prefers that the latter give way

The Washington Chroaiclc, Grants "home
organ" gives Secretary Bristow notice thar
his position in the cabinet depends on the
will Of the president. This notice would be
sufficiently significant at any time, bat its
importance Is increased by the fact that it
comes in connection with the notice that no
more arrests are TO be made in the whisky
rlng.-Er.
Anything like threat on the part of Grant
to remove Bristow is Of course lneirable non
sense. Bristow would be made man from
that hour and on as sure a road 10 the Presi
dency as Grant was when lie walked into
Richmond. Grant is like the western hunter
who put ms dogs on the trail of a grizzly.
After following II for some hours he called
them off, and being asked Why he did so,
said "the trail was getting too darned fresh"
Grant and Pierrcpont are apparently doing
their best now 10 coax BrlstOw and his
hounds 10 ease up on The chase when the
trail IS actually found 10 cross the steps OF
the White House, but the chronicles threat
of removal won't do it.

THE FOUTH OF JULY 1879.

The United States Centennial Commission
in circular sent to every country in the
United States, make the following impor,an,
suggestion:
II seems proper that the local celebrations
of the Fourth of July, 1876, which will he
held throughout the land, snoLld be made 10
contribute to permanent historical memo.
rial of the Centennial Celebration In eacl
county provision should be made for the
delivery Of an address tracing the history of
that particular community for the pas, cen
fury, or from the time OF its settlement, and
including a sketch ofits growth, its resources,
industries, prospects, etc. These addresses
should be published IN uniform size,-that of
the Congressional documents, for instance
in order that they may be bound together by
States. To competent persons the prepare
ton of such address es would not be an nndu
ly burdensome task but in the aggregate
they would constitute an invaluable histori
cal repository such as no nation has ever
had the opportunity to collect.
Designations Of the historians ought to be
made without delay, in order that they NAV
have time to accomplish their work 1t IS TO
be hoped that the press will give general cir
culatior to the project, and that each journal
will see TO its contamination in its own To-
cality, and that the slight expense involved
be assumed by the county or town astLor
tiles.
