treasury notes, to be receivable by the gov
eminent for all taxes, duties, imposts, ex-
'cises, debts and demands of every kind, in
'cluding custom duties" This meets the
requirement absolutely. 1t solves the vex-
atious problem. 1t creates honest money,
restores confidence, revives business, gives
solidity and stability to commercial and
financial affairs. The positions taken by Mr..
Landers are inyulnerable. The more they
are discussed the more practical they appear.
The bill provides that the treasury notes
shall be issued in payment of
the current expenses of the govern
ment as national bank notes are retired
This is practical; it is feasible. 1t removes
all objections. The more Mr.. Landers's bill
is studied the more will his practical views
become popular. The proposition of Mr..
Landers to remonetize silver, when brought
forward by him, was unpopular. 1t was re-
garded in some quarters as quixotic, and
treated derisively; by others as impractical,
and by others still as unjust. But opposi-
ton and denunciation only strengthen the
purpose Of Mr.. Landers He fortified
his arguments and urged his views
upon the attention of thinking men.
AS result the question to-day is accorded
place in the front rank of vital issues before
the country. The justice of the proposition
is conceded by all fair minded men. 1t is
just to the bondholder and just TO the peo-
pie, and is gaining strength every day. The
things absolutely needful to the country are
included in the bill of Mr.. Landers, which
we embody in this article, and the more care
full the analysis of its various provisions the
more the fact will appear that the pathway
which he blazes out will restore business
prosperity.

Men differ on nearly every issue. There
have always been opposite parties in politics
and religion, though the measures fought
over one day may be universally adopted
at another, and those sacrificed regarded as
heroes and martyrs. Medicine has also been
subject to revolutionary disturbances.
When Drs. Harvey and Jenner announced
their discoveries, they were held in con-

ignorant public yet to-day they are received
and honorej by all as benefactors. When
DIR. Pierce announced his DISCOVERY, many
seemed to doubt, and were skeptical con-
corning all medicines and doctors, but proof
of merit has dispelled all doubt, and to-day
the Golden Medical Discovery Is the stand
ard remedy in curing the most obstinate
diseases of the liver and blood, having almost
entirely superseded the old-time sarsaparillas
by reason of its superior merits.

inc fuss because the duchess of Edinburgh
wants to take the children to Russia with
her for three months visit. 1t declares
that in the treaty of marriage between
Prince Alfred and the cars daughter, it was
expressly stated that if children were born
of this marriage they should be brought up
as Protestants, and how that is to be done
ut the Russian court it could not find out
And so the old trouble of difference in be-
lief is to be brought up to worry the royal

would it not be good idea to let the Ouch

THE boarding house keepers of st. Louis
are rejoiced that couple OF their persecut-
ors have been detected and arrested. man
by the name of Hutchinson and woman
represented as his wife have been in the
habit of going to private house, where only
a few boarders are taken, engaging room,
taking supper. then going out for a stroll
about town, and never returning. After
waiting in vain for them, the landlady gen.
orally finds that she has been robbed of
whatever valuables her quandam boarders
could lay their hands on. One lady had a
$50 cloak and her pocket book taken; an
other lost an SIS coat and two glass tumblers,
aud others have been similarly cheated.
Mrs. McCabe, their last victim, saw them on
the street some days after they left her
house, and following them closely she
tracked them to saloon, and there had them
arrested. This trick will doubtless be tried
in other cities.

THE Baltimore Gazette says that Oxford in
comforting the degree of Ii. ID. upon Grant
has made it proper for all educated men to
laugh at Oxford. The Gazette remarks that
there is probably no subject upon which
Grant all uncultured as he is, is so pro-
foundly ignorant as of law. While he was
president he sent message to congress in
reference to the salary of the president as
fixed by the constitution, 5lunder so ludi-
'crous that it set the country into multi
tudinous laughter. After seven years SER
vice as president he did not know enough
about our constitution to know that his
own salary is not one OF its provisions. Not
only is he ignorant of law, but he despises
lit, and has always beaten il down with the
brutal insolence of the soldier. He even
packed the supreme court to reverse the
legal tender decision; he upheld by force
the lawless act of Durell, knowing it to be
1awless, and he trampled down law and leg
islature with his troops in Louisiana. He
'pardoned every whisky thief that the law
convicted, and kept around his per-
son branded breakers of the laws OF
common honesty as we'll as OF his coun.

THE Evansville Journal takes exceptions to
the remarks of Governor Hendricks that
thereafter the man who is elected president
sof the United States by the voice and judg-
'ment of the American people must be in
'augurated," and intimates that the Ian
gusge is an insinuation that such has not
been the case heretofore" 1t does look a
little that way, but the Journal, which be-
longs to the swag fend brigade. is OF the
opinion that hereafter the man who is de-
cleared elected president Of the United States
sby the constitutionally constituted authori-
ties will be inaugurated precisely as was
done this year and has been in the past.
This fact Mr.. Hendricks and his advisers
may as well accept gracefully. Making
mouths at it only exhibits ugliness on their
part, bat II disturps the equanimity of no
zone else"
Notwithstanding all this bravado the Eliza
Pinkstons of Louisiana will not swear into

another president inaugurated after the
fashion of Hayes. In this Mr.. Hendricks
