GREENBdCk,S,

The advocates of the theory of establish
ing a greenback currency interchangeable
for bonds bearing 3.65 per cent. interest are
now called upon to defend their fyorite
plan from very serious objection. This
objection is nothing less than that 1t would
be utterly impossible to keep the green
backs in circulation as proposed. As fast
rs issued they would be converted into a
form in which they would bear interest
so that, instead of having greenback cur
rcncy, we would have cumbersome in
aerest-bearing bond currency. Ii would be
impossible to keep n currency ahoat which
could so readily be put in form in which
II would be source of profit to the holders.
The greenbacks would inevitably disappear,
and In place of them the interest bearing
bonds would largely circulate from hand to
hand, .curent interest being added in
making the transfers.
II that scheme should ever bo adopted it

restoration of the silver dollar TO our cur
rency, but this measure instead Of facili-
tating the circulation Of greonbacks as cur
renoy would only enable the country to get
along better without them. II thirty OF

4 THREAT AGAI NsT THE UNITED
STATES

From the New York Commercial Advertiser;
The de Jacto Government of Mexico seems
determined TO pick quarrel with tho United
States for afer having seen that Americans utterly
despise the insults offered To them by the grand
Eloquent Trevino and the Dazist editors the Mill.
tary Dictator at Mexico has allowed one OF his or.
gans to publish another and moro direct taunt
against this country. The United States IL notified
that "it must recognize President Diaz or withdraw
its diplomatic and consular CORPS for there Is only
one Government IN Mexico 10 DO recognized, and
the recognition or non-recognition OF the United
States Will not alter the facts" Then " II Is So
how Is II that Daz Is so anxious IN be recognized
by the Washington Government which IL not con
cerned In the least with the internal affairs OF the
Mexican Republic, and which could not, at any
rate, pronounce upon their real condition previous
TO the meeting OF Congress. General Disz shows
too openly that what he cares tho most for Is, nrst
his own personal Interest, for " he q real pa.
trOt he would understand that In forcing upon us

FRANCE.

II Is now nearly ninety years since the
psople Of France began their struggle to
establish free government In that country.
The contest has been an eventful one and
full Of vioissitudes. Tho French Republic,
although often despaired OF by nearly all
mankind, has always been an object Of the
hope OF many devoted friends. The history
Of her failures is sad but instructive one,
for II demonstrates how essential popular
virtue and intelligence are To success Of
free government.
Thee are many evidences, however, that
ths long discipline which the French pe0-
ple have been subjected to has gradually
Improved their character Marshal MAC
MAHOS has been making an open and
almost avowed effort to overthrow the Re
public, but Is iar from having things all his
own way. Notwithstanding his shameful
Interference with the freedom Of elections,
The Republicans will, quite likely, gain u
decided victory. They have received great
proyocations 10 commit acts Of violence, hut
they, through every trial of this sort, have
controlled themselves and preserved good
order.
The fhct that the Republicans were not
thrown into confusion by the death of their
venerable leader, NJ. THEIRS, shows that
they have made substantial progress in that
self-posession in trying emergencies which
Is so necessary for those who desire TO secure
snd retain the privilege OF selEgovernment.
While the enemies Of free institutions are
divided into numerous factions, the generous
conduct of NJ. GAMBETTA in waiving his
own claims to tho leadership Of his party
Indicates that The Republicans are animated
by spirit which win prevent the fruits Of
their victory from being lost by dissensions
The outlook from the French Republic Is
upon the whole hopeful. 1t may be that
Marshal IMAGINATION will succeed In
strsngiing It, and thus again postpone the
Icalization Of the hopes of the friends oi
liberty. But however that may be, we art
gratiial as Americans to note the fact that
the people of France are evidently gradually
acquiring the habits and characteristics
which will ultimately enable them to be.
