Sherman ard the Syndicate.

Though Secretary Sherman be as mad
as March hare, and those who have wit.
messed his persistent and unrelenting pur-
pose to compel resumption may sometimes
suspect the Secretary Of being insane upon
that one topic, still there is method in his
madness which provokes inquiry and rea-
ders his action liable to- more than mere
unfriendly criticism. Mr.. Secretary
Sherman always accomplishes his financial
purposes through the medium Of Syndi-
cate, and it so happens that the syndicate
secures the chance to make larger and
better commission than any one else. The
Secretary has been to New York and made
a new arrangement for $50,000,000 by
sale of44 per cent bonds. But with usual
friendship for the Syndicate he let's them
have the bonds at price which will enable
them to put the bonds on the market at
1929 currency SO that the Syndicate can
clear about their usual commissions, This
sort of thing is the Secretary's favorite
method, but the people will do well to re-
member that the Syndicate's commissions
from first to last, on bonds sold, amount to
more millions than what the Secretary says
he now needs to commence resumption
with. The inquiry is not so impertinent,
possibly, as might be supposed, whether
or not John Sherman is personally inter-
ested in the profits of the Syndicate.
One thing is quite certain, only
comparatively few years ego
John Sherman went to Washington not
wealthy man; he has had no known occu-
patton or business except Office holding at
a moderate salary; the Secretary is now
reported to be very wealthy; the Syndicate
through his favor has made immense sums
Of money-how did the Secretary make
his fortune?

WHY SUBMIT TO THE DISCOMFORT, and
humiliation entailed by local disease of
the skin, when GLENN's SULPHER SOAP
will rid you of it with certainty and de-
spatch 1t is a remedy which never fails
70 relieve cutapeous disease, and, as a
means of banishing defects of the COM
plexiOn, it is equally reliable. The bene-
fits arising from the use of Sulphur Baths,
in cases OF skin disease, and of rheuma-
tlsm aud govt, are well known, but the
cost Is too heavy to be incurred by many
persons who would otherwise take advan-
tage of them. GLENN's SULpHER Soap
answers the same purpose, and is both
inexpensive and convenient. No one
need stir abroad in search of sulphur
bath who has this admirable means of
providing one in doors. 1t is incom parably
the deodOrizer and disinfectant of clothing
and bed linen in use, and prevents diseases
ofan obnoxious nature caused bycontact. So
res, ulcers, bruises, scalds cuts and sprains
arepromtly remedied by it; aud it's clearly,
healing and soothing. properties constitute
1t far more desirable remedy for scorbutic
ailments than oIntments of any description,
since such greasy compounds soil the
clothing, often aggravate, and very rarely
indeed do any permanent good.

VIM. NJ. Tweed.

The death of Tweed will bring wildly to
recollection the story of his life. his trial
his imprisonment, his escape to Spain, his
surrender aud return to this country, and
his continual Imprisonment thereafter until
death Tweed has been held up to the
public gaze and quoted as the great ex-
emplar of all dishonesty until the impress
sion rests firmly in the minds of most peo-
pie that he was the one great sinner, chief
above all others. Tweed was, in fact, an
outrageously dishonest and corrupt man,
who prostituted his official positions to the
purposes Of extraordinary steals, and in
the pursuance of these objects corrupted
and induced others to become his associates
and tools. His life, and his i'll. gotten
gains, Of which he never made restitution,
are both to be held up to public execration
and to be pointed at as solemn warning
to the people of this country against the
vice Of official corruption. But while hon
est men will condemn and upbraid the man
and his iniquitous course Of life and
while they will rejoice that prominent men
of Tweed's own political party were among
The first and foremost to bring him to trial
and to justice; it is matter OF painful re-
greet that he alone, of all the great rascals
aud public plunderers of the present gen
GRAFTON, should have been the only one to
expiate his crimes and end his days within
prison walls. If the republican party had
displayed half the zeal 10 the punishment
OF the great rascals and public swindlers
within It's ranks that the democrats did to
have Tweed properly punished, the country
would not have bohed such Notifying eff
forts on the part Of high officials to screen
the guilty, or SO many executive pardons
granted to we'll known, tried aud convicted
thieves. That Tweed was great sinner
all admit that greater scoundrels than he
men who have stolen more aud in an equal
~ base manner, now walk abroad among
their fellow men as if they were honest
and deserving citizens, and .some even oc,
eupylng positions of high trust and re-
sponsibiIity, is likewise true, and as lament
able as it is true.

Greenbacks.

If congress will pass law providing
that greenbacks shall be payable for GUS
tom duties, loans, and all other indebted
ness where gold is now required, except in
cases of specific contract for gold and that
only; and will also further provide again
the cancellation of the existing amount Of
greenbacks, estimated at $3.50, OOO, 900, the
passage of such law, in our opinion,
would settle the greenback question at
once, and place the country on the right
road to prosperity. Having remonetized
silver, law of the kind above mentioned,
which would effectualIy provide against
eny contraction Of the present volume OF
greenbacks. would be such long advance
towards resumption that it would be virtu
ally accomplished. Such action would IN
questionably, for all practical purposes
make greenbacks par with gold, and wher
that is accomplished the government ha'
virtually come to coin resumption.
So far, we are favorable to greenbacks
80 far we have no objection to their being
part of the circulating currency of the
country, and believe it would be impolitit
and unwise to retire them to any extern
which would produce contraction. In the
course of few years, when the minti
have provided the necessary supply Of
coin for all the business of the country
and the business of the country has adapt
ed itself to the conditions of exclusive
hard money, the disuse of the greenbacl
may perhaps become expedient, but fol
the present it is a necessary part of the
circulating currency which the wants o
business demand.
