To-day Mr.. Baird's disciples are repeat
ing the absurd opinions which he reiterat-
ed before the House Banking Committee.
II is in effect that the war of the rebellion
made the United States richer by the
amount of greenbacks issued as money.
Now Mr.. Baird says that il the war had
continued four years longer and the debt
and paper money increased in proportion.
the United States would be most pros
porous country. If this theory is correct,
why not keep up continual war with
somebody?
One gets an idea of the conflicting op-
inons of the inilationists as to the amount
of rredeemable paper money the country
requires to"meet the demands of business"
senator VOORHEES, thinks billion Of green
backs will be ample. Others are more mod
crate, and think that the country could be
made prosperous by the withdrawal of the
National Bank circulation and substitut-
inc United States notes in its stead and in
creasing the amount so that about 500
O00, 600 will be outstanding. Professor
Baird is not so moderate in his views.
He assumes that it will require almost
three billions of paper money, never to be
redeemed, to make the United States the
Eden Of spectators and the Paradise OF
tramps To make the country rich and
give employment to people he would have
the government engage in unlimited in
ternal improvements.
1t is not strange that Il man whose head
is filled with a crowd of crazy speculations

A Serious Casualty.

\ man named John Berrigan who
was on his way north, last Sunday, met
with a serious accident. He endeav-
ored to pass another team at a bad spot
on the hill where the road descends
into the valley of Pole creek. His
wagon ''slewed" around, the horses be-
gan to plunge and kick, and Berrigan
was thrown out, suffering a serious
compound fracture of the left leg, and
severe bruises. Some of the bones
were badly crushed, so that in setting
the limb pieces of bone were taken out.
One of his horses was very fractions.
Berrigan came into town Saturday
night and reported that this horse had
kicked him off the wagon seat, on the
road.

Dc Murska in Opera.

Tonight Mile. lima De Murska and
Caroline Richings-Bernard will appear
in Donizetti's famous opera of Lucia
Di Lammermoor, supported by a full
chorus and orchestra of chosen artists,
selected with great care for their effi-
cheney in the lyric art. In the charac-
ter of Lucia, De Murska has achieved
the greatest artistic triumph of any
vocalist who has appeared in the char
acter in the present century. Her mad
scene in this part has elected the great
est enthusiasm from the press and pub
lie of both hemispheres, and the oppor-
tunity now offered our citizens of see
ing this truly great artist is IL rarely
met with. Caroline R~ichings- Bernard
is well and favorably known to our cit
liens as IN artist of sterling worth, and
we bespeak for her a favorable and
warm recognition. Reserved seats can
be secured at Hollis bookstore.
Manager McDaniels deserves great
credit for securing such a great treat
for our citizens, and we are certain that
his efforts will meet with the reward
they so justly merit. Don't forget, to-
night at McDaniels' New Theatre.
