A public hospital for the reception Of
sick or disabled strangers who are thrown
upon our care has been suggested by cor
respondents through the columns of the
Press and Dakotaian. The subject is one
which has for some time attracted the at.
tention of those In q position to know the
necessity for such an institution. The
majority of our people have probably not
given much thought to the project and
probably do not know that there are very
many cases constantly coming to the atten-
ton Of the authorities which could be bet
ter cared for and more economically man
aged through the medium offs public hos
pital than by the present crude system. A
border city like ours necessarily receives
more shan its quota of u%niortunatss aad
common humanity demands that we should
care for them. Tie most effective fulfill
ment of this duty is the best and of the
many suggestions for the attainment of
this end the plan ola general public hospi-
til is most favorably received. A meeting
will be held before long at; which the good
people of Yankton will be given an oppor.
tunity TO put into practical shape any
benevolent ideas they may have on this
subject.

Among the recent afidavits of james E.
Anderson, the notorious Potter committee
witness are two which are of importance.
In one he swears that Sherman never wrote
the Sherman letter and in another that
members of the Potter committee and OF
the democratic national committee paid
Weber SO, 900 for his testimony before the
Potter committee. This transaction is
about on a par with the democratic attempts
to purchase the presidency.

will then be available for resumption pur-
poses. 1t should also be borne in mind that
meanwhile there is no probability of the en-
tire coin liabilities being presented for pay
ment.
As to the paper circulation of European
countries this department has no informa-
tion except what can be obtained from pub
locations open to all. The London Econo-
mist Of September IA, 1873, the latest at
hand, states the amount of paper circula.
ton of the banks of the United States,
amount retained in the banking department
Of the bank Of England to be a43,9 66, GIL;
the circulation of the bank Of France, which
alone in France has authority to issue notes,
to be, September 5, G37,415,000.
1t is Understood that some country banks
of Germany have authority, under certain
restrictions, 10 issue notes, but asthe amount
issued is notstated in the financial publica-
tions, it is believed TO be uncomfortable.
Reducing these amounts to the currency Of
this country, the per capita Of circulation
appears to be as follows.

Chief Detective Stephenson, of Mas
sachusetts, last summer sent out two
amateur detectives with instructions to
mingle with tramps, to travel with them,
beg with them, and steal with them, and
the diary of these two men, which has
recently been made public, is very
interesting chronicle, indeed. They
first fell in with two tram
near Springfield, but as they
advanced their number increased until
at the expiration of the third day their
party consisted OF twenty men, in which
were represented six different nation
alities. The gang had very little faith
In begging as means of livelihood, but
