IT is a suspicious circumstance that the
Governor of Wisconsin pardoned the La
Crosse bank defaulter, George M. Wheeler,
bat few days before the expiration of the
life of the bankrupt act, and that the first
use he made of his liberty was to file Pc
tition in bankruptcy through which he hopes
to relieve himself of all obligations for the
payment of the money he embezzled. If
Gov. Smith had known that Wheeler would
pu rsue the course he has would he have
granted the pardon just in the nick of time?
An answer is in order.

The Republican orators talk long and
glibly about what they call "fiat money!"
and ridicule the idea of such thing. Did
it ever occur to them to inquire. if gold is
not s'fat money!" What is it but the stamp
of the government which makes gold coin
money? No one pretends to say that the
metal in the gold dollar is intrinsically worth
dollar. It is dollar simply because of
the fiat of the government, and is fiat money
In precisely the same sense that paper cur

Business men should understand that the

line and inch and not by the
deceptive square which none but printer
understands. When the GLOBE sells man an
inch of space it means an inch and not five
eighths of an inch, which is the "square" size.

THE people of New England may be
poor but are we'll educated. They
may want bread, but not common hon
esty and intelligence. At first they
were we'll pleased to have Kearney ap-
peallng delightfully."- to their wants and
prejudices; but Kearney's philosophy
did not commend itself to native New
England shrewdness or common sense.
The remedy for hard times cannot be
found in making money cheap. This
adds nothing to labor's value, and
even lessons the production of bread
aud bacon. When currency loses
value the rich, having it, pay it out
rapidly. They buy everything with it,
and for time labor and property find
ready market. But when the rich
have expended the bad currency, buy
ing with it oil the gold in the country,
then, when they will not have the
bloated paper, its purchasing power il
instantly lost and it remains with the
poor. Boston laborers ore educated.
They were cognizaut of these processes
and know that when the first of depIe-
ciatlng the currency is begun the rest

ELEVEN murders OF all degrees of
barbarity aud brutality have been COM
mitted in Indianapolis, the decentest
city of the Northwest, within twelve
months. They didn't keep the census
of murder done in Chicago, and yet
the Chicago Inter Ocean and Radical
papers of indianapolis never grow
weary of e'cantiug on the bloody
deeds done in these frontier
communities, where knaves sluf-
fed off in hidIous moral
rottenness from two armies, and where
all the Uffice-seekIng knaves, unworthy
of Office In the civilized East, were
supplied with Offices by congressman
whom they had served. The North
should be chary of criticisiDg crimi-
nality away down South. This and
DOT the North was the rotting place of
dying and dead armies educated in
robbery and murder, and this was made
by the victors the place of exile for
knavery that demanded honors and ofh-
css, and here the reckless and ambitious
and unprincipled came to ride the ir-
nocent African into power. Despite
all these untoSsrd events snd despite
the necessity for differences and quar-
rels between the ignorant of different
rreconcilsble races, there are fewer
devilish deeds done in Texas, in pro-
portion to population, than in New
York or any Northwestern city.

HENDRICKS FETCHES THE
FIRST BLOOD.

1t is amusing to watch the wiring in
and wiring out of party leaders who
propose to lead in the presidential e'ec-
ton. The Socrates of the Senate, the
bald-psted, sturdy Mr.. Thurman, the
nephew of the fog-horn of Ohio, feed
ing in his boyhood his fathers sheep
on the hills about Lynchburg, and
whose young ambition grew strong in
knees and brain while he clambered
up the heights of the Blue Ridge-even
such . grown-old boy as this has not
forgotten the art of climbing the fence
We have seen him, very recently, on
both sides of it. He sat beside the
more sluggish Hendricks for a brief
period on the top, and only few days
ago be glided down very senderly and
gingerly over among the Greenbacksrs.
He will be crawling back tomorrow.
Greenbackers did not even give him,
with all their windiness, a soft place
on which to fall, and in getting down
on the wrong side there were ugly
rents made in Mr.. Thurman's breeches
and other political vestments. As
Ohio contemplates him to-day he will
hardly be deemed proper candidate
for the Presidency. But Mr.. Hen
bricks is solemnly silent and contented.
He sits precisely on the top of the fence
balancing his everlasting legs snd keep
ing his massive head wondrously level.

and even when poor Hamman plays fan

dricks, balancing himself like tight
rope dancer, turns his serenely solemn
face neither to the right nor left. If
Hendricks become President he will
swear, when the race ends in Texas, that
he never heard of the vociierous Ham,
man. Like the government Of the United
States, ss administered by our fathers,
Mr.. Hendricks avoids all ''entangling
alliances" The Democracy cannot win
unless 1t secure Ohio, and if Thurman
bad surely triumphed there in the last
race, after be went over to the green
back Democracy, he would have won
the prize in 1880. But it will be said
that Hendricks, in his present cheerful
fix, ready to flop at q moments warn
ing TO Tom Bentonism and mint drops,
holds the winning cards in the coming
Democratic National ConYention. The
New York managers, when Tilden was
nominated and Hendricks rode behind,
promised that Hendricks should have
the seat IN the saddle in 1880. and be,
who played second fiddle to the rail-

FIapdoOdIe Scaramouehes.

Distinguished Flats:
The high and mighty fapdoodle
scaramouches have been calmly assert
ing that the eminent statesman, John
G Calhoun, advocated in his day q
fiat" paper money theory similar to
the one we offer the dear people as q
panscea for all their ills. Now, 1t is
discovered that this assertion is ono of
the most marvellous of fIm-fams. Mr..
Calhoun never for one moment had in
his mind any such fallacious financial
theories as we now promulgate for the
sdiiication of the average scaramouch.
Tne paper money advocated by Mr..
Calhoun was based upon gold and sill
yer, and WAS not a legal tender for
either public or private debts. He says
If money he advocated "Whstever
may be the amount circulate d, hold
it clear that, to that amount II would
b. as stable in value as gold and silver
tself, Proviaed the government be
bIuDd to receive it exclusively with
those metals in all its dues, and Il be

ment to receive it in all of its dues, to
he exclusion Of everything else except
gold and silcer and IL shall be OPP
tiondl nth those sohO haze demands upon
the government to Teceire IL or not,
would, it seems to me, be as
stable as those metals them
selves" Speaking OF the probability
of the money depreciating he says
''How can paper money depreciate,
which the government is bound to re-
ceive in all its payments, and aohile
those to ach0Ha payments are 10 be made

Now, virtuous scaramouches, does the

houn, bear any likeness whatever 20
that advocated by usl The dear peo-
pie are OF the opinion that the differ
