course, involves two sets of full

many girls have a dozen? WHY not
a young fellow have two or three?
Last year men crowded and swag-
gered too much in the ball room,
pushing and elbowing even delicate
fair and frail ones of the much more
gentler sex. This year they are
denied this fortiter in re, and are
adopting the suaviter in modo.
Dancing, this season, is not a mathe-
matical indulgence of calisthenics.
1t is now the subdued poetry of
motion. Deux temps are tanned.
Trois temps are chained. The wild
Indian is no more.

Death of Ben. Wade.

Benjamin f. Wade died at his home in JEFF.
ferson, Ohio last Saturday morning.
Benjamin Franklin Wade was born in
Springfield, Mass. October 27, 1900, and
therefore at the time of his death was over
seventy-seven years of age. He worked as a

An Important Decision.

In the year 1864, the Oxford Coal Compa-
ny mined coal under the town Of Hyde Park,
and in 1867 the surface settled and cracked
the walls of the Welsh Calvanistic Methodist
church. The repairs to the church cost
Si,os7, the premises were otherwise injured,
and the congregation were out Of possession
of the church edifce fora period of sixteen
months. The property is permanently dam
aged, the walls being out of plumb. A suit
at law arose out of this condition of affairs
and after trial Of two days was concluded.
The jury rendered verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for sS,740. Messrs Hoyt and Pal
mer were counsel for plaintiff, and Messrs
Hand and MGCliptock for defendants. The
case is important as determining the liability
of coal operators for. damage done to the sur
face, from want Of insufficient support. In
this case the owner of the land sold the sur
face, reserving the right to take ont all the
coal without entering upon or doing damages
to the surface. The court held that it was
the duty of the owner to leave sufficient sup
ports for the surface, either of coal or som,
other proper material, and that he could no
be allowed to so mine the coal as to destroy
the estate in the surface which he had sole
for valuable con nsideration.-W Wiikes- Barr

HARRISBURG LETTER.
Legislative Correspondence.

| HARRISBURG, March 5, 1878.
In my last spoke of the defeat of the
Philadelphia Recorders Bill' as being
temporary. A marshalling of the forces on
the night of defeat resulted in the rec0nsid-
Grafton and final passage of the bill on the
following Wednesday morning. In the
Senate the next day the bill was reported
with amendments as follows that whenever
judgment was recorded for delinquent taxes
and penalties such penalties shall be paid to
the Commonwealth and not to the Recorder;
that whenever judgment is obtained and a
return of execution is mo goods" the Com
| monwealth shall bear the costs of proceed
ings.
The House has not yet decided upon a
change of its rules to prevent illegal voting
upon bills by personation. A resolution re-
quiring members to rise at their seats and to
remain standing as a requisite to allow their
votes to be recorded when any question is
raised, was again defeated in the House on
Friday. The change of the rule received a
majority of all the votes cast, but not a two
thirds vote which is necessary.
Monday evening resolution involving a
similar change was again produced but was
laid over under the rules.
The all important event of the week is the
late deyelopements in regard to alleged ir-
regularities in the collection of State taxes
due from the "Union Railroad and Trans
hn 20 in
tion with this case have been so thoroughly
mixed up with newspaper and street gossip
that it is almost impossible at present writing
to arrive at any correct statement of the affair.
1t seems that in October last, at the time the
above mentioned company went into liquida-
ton it was discovered by Messrs. Olmstead
and Simonton, the first ex-corporation clerk
in the Auditor Generals Office, and law
student, and the second prominent attorney
of the Harrisburg bar, discovered by som e
means that large amount of tax aggregat-
ing some 100000 was under the law due
from but unpaid by the corporation above
mentioned. These gentlemen, taking time
by the fore lock" went to the officers of the
General and proposed to collect this
tax for commission of ten per cent. An
| agreement to this effect was drawn up
| by Messrs. Simonton and Olmstead
and signed by the chief clerk of the Auditor
Generals department, by the State
Treasurer, and afterward by the Auditor
General in person. The tax to the

therefore not "Bils Of Credit" They we're
originally made payable in 500 bonds at the
pleasure Of the holder which contract was
repudiated by Congress in 1868, to compel
the people to bond them before July /, 1868,
in order to get enough bonds ISSUED to start
the National. Banks as up to February, 1868
only % millions of dollars of greenbacks or
other Treasury notes had been bonded, for the
redson that there wds no surplus of circulat-
ing medium OF the 800 millions of dollars
Of bonds, authorized by the act of Feb. %,
1852, only $25, 5,o0o,o00 of bonds had been ta-
ken up to February 1868. The Federal Gov
ernment had to hire Jay Cook & Co., and
other bankers at great expense to show the
people, that by bonding T. s. Treasury notes,
bearing interest, and greenbocks without in
terest they would get six per cent. interest in
coin, lat a penium exemption from State
and municipal taxation, and 90 per cent Of
the face value of the bond, in national bank
currency tp speculate with, before the ma
tiona banks could be put into operation.
Full legal tenders are both money and cur
rency, whereas the promis.ory note of bank,
specially authorized By law to pass as cir
culating medium redeemable on demand in
lawful money is merely currency. 1t is an ev-
idence Of debt due by the maker of it to the
public, on which The Ju,k drdps interest, and
not being lega-tender for private debts, to
give it credit and currency, it is made payable
in legal tender money, on demand, and is made
to depend for its value on the prompt per.
iormance of that promise. The National
Bank Act, allows four dollars of paper cur
rency to be issued on every dollar of specie
deposited for redemption purposes, and as a
currency is inflated when its volume exceeds
its basis, the promissory notes of the nation
al banks constitute an inflated currency, and
as commerce is constantly demanding the
coin basis, periodically that currency is Acti-
tious as well as inflated.
Legal tender coin and or, enbacks redeem
themselves every time they perform any
one of the functions Of money and therefore
do not need redemption in other money, or
require to be converted into bonds to give
them credit and currency, and do not need
any basis Of redemption, and as the Federal
Government has thirty thousand million of
dollars Of public and private property within
It's jurisdiction, and as about $75 per capita
will be adequate to the wants of business es.
tablished on a cash basis, and as no money
can be paid out of the Federal Treasury, ex-
cept in pursuance of law, to pay lawful de-
mands on the Treasury, the volume of full
legal tender money never can equal, much
less exceed, the value of the property within
the Federal jurisdiction ; therefore legal ten.
der money is not and cannot become an inflated
money or currency.
In the next article it will be shown how
bank currency initiates business, and produces
money panics and commercial crashes, and
also the difference between legal and COM
mercial dollar, and how money panics and
crashes may be forever prevented.
