The bin of Senator Wallace, Of Penns,

The bill of Senator Wallace, of Pennsylva-
mia, ito provide lawful note and coin cur
rency for the United States, Is an entirely
new financial scheme Senator Wallaces
Idea Ii to please oil sides and parties by sort
of ola podrida currency. His bill proposes
that the government shall issue $500, 900
of currency, half of which Is to be In paper
and the other half In coin styled goloid the
Invention of some wild Pennsylvanian. This
s.stuff'' is a mixture of gold, silver and cop
per, In the proportion of one pound, twenty
four pounds and three-quarters Of pound
respectively Senator Wallace evidently hopes
I'd please everybody with this mad financial
scheme Of his. The greenbackers will have
their greenbacks; the gold men will have a
gold currency, while Senator Jones will have
some use for the product of his silver mines.
ld1sop's fable Of the man who tried to please
everybody is evidently forgotten.
no some people this goloid currency bill
may appear absurd, butt Is said by those at
washington who ought to know that there
Are 80 many wilder schemes among the sixty
financial bills that congressman have within
their pockets, that the country, when 1t hears
these, will welcome Senator Wallace's goloid

The strike of the cigar makers in New
York, so remarkable for its perfect organza-
ton, steady purpose and quiet resolution, is
creating with reason, a great deal Of alarm.
Ii is feared that the other branches of trade
will join In this strike and bring on New York
the same troubles and catastrophes that
lately visited the Western cities. In fact, II
the cigar makers succeed, there is little doubt
that the other trades will take advantage of
their success and claim an increase of wages
or inaugurate long strike.
The cigar makers have established prac-
tIcal commune in New York-that is a gov.
eminent where the individuals are dependent
IN the State for their support. Their central
association has opened half a dozen relief
stores, at each of which members of the union
Dan procure rations by simply presenting
tickets procured from the secretary Of the
association. These rations are to each family
for one week, seven pounds of flour, foul
pounds Of sugar, one peck Of potatoes, two
heads of cabbage, twenty pounds of meat
fifteen loaves of bread, rice farina, soap, etc.,
and 81 In currency. An ample and varied
supply OF provisions.
A physician has also been employed to at
tend all sick members of the Union gratui
tously, and every other provision possible
made for the care and comfort Of all. Ii
this manner some fifteen thousand persons
are now living In New York. This system
fho papers think, Is fast educating these PEG
Ma into cofnmunistic ideas. They now nc
ionrer rely on themselves. but on the Union
for support; they will soon expect, these
\, i,er.s predict, that the government will take
fle nlaoe 81 the Union and furnish them food
III rota,rn TOR their work.
These cigar makers, by -the-by, are ail gen
srally lSnk oommnnists.

Alas, poor Scranton! It seems q doomed
place. But few weeks ago 1t was wild with
Communism and incendiarism; even now the
strike fingers around In hard times are twice
as hard within It's limits as anywhere in the
country, and everything liz unpromising as to
the future. The latest news from Scranton
represents that this town, which sprang into
life but q few years ago, or at least portion
of IL, Is likely to disappear forever, to descend
Into the very bowels Of the coal mines that
lie under ii. The "Notch," the portion of the
city where the laboring classes mostly live,
is Wild with alarm over this threatened dam
yer.
Last week, two immense assures, nearly a
quarter OF d mile long, appeared In the centre
ri the streets Of the Notch, and a considera-
BILE sinking In the ground took place. Several
houses were thrown down by this, and quite
number Of others were so damaged that
they are quite dangerous, and will have to be
removed. The basement wallis of the Cath
ole Church are cracked In several places,
fencing thrown down, wells left dry, trees up
rooted, and q hundred other injuries DONE
The people of the Notch are naturally ter
rified over these occurrences and fear to sleep
I'm their houses Many of them have left and
the others are preparing to move elsewhere
rs soon as possible. The Notch will probably
be left In q very short time deserted village
without single inhabitant
The miners declare that with the first heavy
rain the water will penetrate the ground and
cause the cracks and assures to increase In
SIZE This, they predict, will be followed by
the ground suddenly sinking ten or twenty
feet. All agree that there is no remedy, and
that before the spring u town Of several thou.
sand houses will have completely disappeared
from off the face of the earth.

Last Monday, the taxpayers OF new YORK
held meeting In Steinway Hall In favor OF
the proposed amendment to the State consti-
tuition, which allows only taxpayers to vote
for the Board of Finance, board which is TO
have supreme control Of the city finances.
The Universal Suffrage Association of New
York. the Communists and other bodies who
oppose this amendment because 1t will dis
franchise certain voters, resolved to capture
the meeting. They assembled accordingly in
such numbers in Steinway Hall that they
were actually In majority.
When 1t was proposed to place Mr.. Bah
cock, a taxpayer and leading citizen. In the
chair, the Communists voted the resolution
down by an immense majority. No atten-
ton, however, was paid TO their action. Mr..
Babcock took the chair and began an address,
which was drowned in Kisses and shouts.
This was kept up until the police interfered
and marched off the leading hissers to the
lookup. For this otfense, Kissing. six OF
them were last week tried before Justice Muir
ray. These all freely admitted the Kissing,
but claimed that to hiss was the inalieniable
right of every free American citizen.
They Kissed, they said, because the tempo
rary chairman refused to follow the declared
will of the majority of the meeting. who were
opposed to the election OF Babcock as chair
man, and wanted Communist in his place.
Judge Murray decided to continue most Of the
cases, but sent George Pape, one Of the lead
ers in the kissing, to the penitentiary for three
months for his offense.
It is therefore now a well established prin-
ciple Of law In New York, that whoever Kisses
at political meeting is guilty of a serious
criminal Offense,

Congress cannot spare any money for such
unimportant things as levees, ETC., but it is
going to be earnestly pressed for an appro-
priation to erect line of Notifications on San
Juan, Lopez and Fidalgo Islands, Washing
ton Territory.
Gen. Sherman has just visited these islands,
thoroughly inspected them, and prepared a
report on the Notifications it is proposed to
erect on them. This report will show that
fortress on Lopez Island will COM
mand Rosario Strait, and put a
speedy end to Canadian commerce in
the Pacific should hostilities occur between
Great Britain and the United States.
Congress will, accordingly, be asked to pro-
vide for these Notifications. OF all gross alb
surdities this is about the worst. A million
or SO dollars are asked to erect a fort in an
out-of-the way corner Of the globe, In order
to prevent score Of oyster boats from land
ing in British Columbia. 1t Is hardly proba-
BILE that Gen. Sherman will have the effrontery
to propose this. The United States had bet
ter attend to its Indians before it thinks OF
building forts to attack the vessels of British
Columbia the majority Of whose population
are unreconstructed Indians.

When Secretary Thompson sent In his esti-
mates the other day of the money necessary
to carry on the Navy Department, he included
therein deficiency of some $2,0OO,OO0 misap-
propriated by the late Secretary of the Navy,
Robson This deficiency is principally in
the pay account, expenses Of the marine
corps, etc It Is well understood that enough
money was appropriated by Congress to pay
these accounts, but that 1t was used for other
purposes, principally for paying contractors,
just as in this State few years ago, the in
terest fund was used in fitting out Kellogg
mall-of- war; the Ozark. In other words, the
money was misappled and stolen by Robe
son and his pals, the contractors. The whole
amount thus stolen was S2,000,000. Secretary
Thompson now asks Congress to make this
good.
Ii is said that q number of leading DEM
ocrats in Congress have talked the matter
over and have definitely concluded that while
they will appropriate money for all the other
estimates made by Thompson, they will
not supply this deficiency until q full explana-
ton is given by the Navy Department of how
and where these $4,000 900 have gone. This
Secretary Thompson can do. He pretends to
be an honest man, admits the guilt Of Robe
son, but hesitates to fully expose it. 1t is the
duty of Congress to refuse a cent toward the
deficiency until they know how 1t came about.

ward necessary organization for this
purpose were taken by the adoption,
AT meeting called for the purpose, of
"A constitution and bylaws. The plan
of organization and government adopt
ed is very simple and therefore very
sensible. Any person over tourt,e
can become member of the society
by paving into the treasury not less
sum than one dollar, keeping up II
quarterage of twenty-five cents an d
conforming to the regulations. All
executive authority is vested in three
Directors, who, with Secretary, are
elected annually. A Librarian VIII
be selected by the Directors. The rules
are few and brief.
Now then, the immediate prospects
Of the project depend entirely upon
the success of the Committee appoint
ed to solicit membership, and the lib
erality of those becoming members.
