public Affairs and the causes OF present discontsnI
M schsll rsceived breakfast at the st. N,cho-
Lac Club quaint, quiet tranquil place, somewhat IN
scenes around which looked down upon him from the
wsliA u !. needless 20 say that the breakfast
partook simply Of some crepes and crust Mr. schsl,
s well known, - Intellectual Lucuilus and while
frugal himself his hospitaes others historic
and the grace and siiuence OF his banquels are ..as
household words" Alter the mornilg repast had
ended tcok patient chair and submitted TO tho
interviewing operation Throughout he lifted his
large eye calm and serene, us that VI 0f Cuyp's
cows YET searching, and The words hsv fell easy
flow made soft usic down the channels OF hrs
chin which reposcd easy folds upon his breast
the slide OF his loved legal tenders through the
hngers OF hnshed teller. Not even those passages
in which, as VIII be seen ho cloquencc was his
serenity Tor ono moment disturbed and could have
sat ana looked Tor hours with delighted smile, as II
gSznK ON Gainsborough's market cart or the infant
John OF Murillo.
RKroRrSRI believe, Mr. schsll it is your intention
to rolurn 10 Congress this ialif
Mr. ScHELL-No sir. Am not candidate for any
Office.
REroErxR-Your brother believe, Is the Kelly can
ddate for Mayory Do you take any active interest In
his clectUny
1t scaELLl prefer not to speak OF that There are
those VITO think my brother cold aud that he looks
wiser than any man ever really was, but they may
lind there a lire bencaIh the snow.
REroRrER-Have you any opinon To express on the
relative the candidates for tho orusIdencyr
Ar ScHELL-I prefer not TO enter into personalities
Iney say All u laf IN love ana hut tnink those
quasi irenas who hayo been circulating very accurate
likeness oi Mr.. Tiden through the country have
been acting most unfairly. Many oil large minds
have had mean petlifogging faces. Neither Mrabeau
nor Rooesp'erre were honest looking Ny thoughts
travel over small men 10 great principles and plans
RKroRrER-what are those plans, may ask, Mr..
SCheily
Mr. ScHELLr-I havo frequently given them to the
world My plan Is simple. We have had great war; In
that war spent So OO0 000 00O anc destroyed least
So 000 600 00O OF property Tho South great pro-
ducus power stands desolatc to-day It's
reacts anu ioaches us. propose as . measure OF
relielgaut disease naeds giant remedythat the gov
ornmen issue $500 O00 600 Of legal tender
and make them receivable Tor all private and public
dues including cuslomsthe notes 70 bear interest
These legal tender notes should supersoue all bank
note circulation which should be retrcd and hereafter
when such notes issued basis OF United States
bonds deposited In tha Treasury those bonds should
bear no interest while deposited Mako the balance
OF circulation, OOO 600 COO all legal tenders and
Six months there would Oc no premium on gold and
such al impetus would DO given TO business through
the country as now seems hopeless.
RRPoRTKR-H0w would you propose 10 distribute
this S50u 900, COO?
Mr. ScakLLI would use 5000 600 Of il to pay the
war debts Of the Northern states. We are largely
taxed pay bounty clamA l would give
SO 0OO 600 directly 10 the southern States IN proper
tion to their population ana let those States use the
$780, 600 900 should be used creating aiding great
public works would aid the great Northern and
Southern Pacific Railroad and SO give employment
to z, ,000, 900 men.
RspoRrgR-ls 1t true, Mr.. Schel that in these and
other great projects you consult with Mr.. Lawrence
jerome and take him in as advisory counsel?
glorious fellow, hut no elevates vision above
the tribes of the hour. Measures, with me; not
II love Mr.. jerome well, love New York more. II
friendship is the knot OF Gordian, slow to loose,
patriotism is as the sword Of Hyperion, swift TO
REroRrxR--Do you see, M. Scnell, any probability
OF your views boing carried out or adopted in any
party platt0rmy
Mi. scuELL--Not perhaps at this moment; but IN
my minds eye, Horatio"
