An analysis, made at Washington,
of the counterfeit standard dollars,
trade dollars, and smaller silver coin
shows "that their constituents are
block tin, antimony and glass cast in
a mixture of plaster Paris. 1t was
found that they were made by the
electro process with sufficient coat
ing of silver on the base metal rather
to make it impervious to acid. The
coin has the appearance and ring of
the genuine, and can only be detect
ed by the weight The analyses have
shown that the cost of the manufac-
ture of the spurious is about forty
per cent Of the genuine. The CEN
tres from which the spurious coin is
circulated are Philadelphia, st. Louis,
Chicago, Indianapolis, Vincennes and
Louisville

Foot Gear in Japan.

Among the FIRST things that strike the
traveller in japan are the wooden san
dals worn by these $4,000, 900 of peo-
pie. They have q separate compart-
ment for the great toe, and make a
clacking noise on the street. Straw
slippers are also worn, and a traveller
setting out on journey will strap q
supply of them on bis back that he may
put new pair on when the old ones are
worn out. They cost but three far
things a pair. and leaving the foot free
to the air, we never see those deformi-
ties of the foo. in Japan which are so
frequent in this country. They arc
never worn in the house, being left out
side the door. Passing down . street,
you see long rows of them at the doors,
old and new, large and small. L. is
surprising to see how readily the Japs
step out of them, and pick them up
again with their feet, without stopping,
when leaving the house. Constant
habit makes them dexterous.

Boyptou,, Latest swim,

Captain Boynton has written to a
French paper a most amusing account
of his swim across the straits of Glib
raltar. He says that the feat was far
more difficult than swimming across the
Straits Of Dover, for the currents car
ried him so far that he traversed fifty
miles in doing the journey. He adds :
-" | saw several sharks, but none of
them made a meal of me, and l owe
them my best acknowledgements. / suf-
fered much from the sun aud salt water,
the latter coming into my eyes, and l
was almost blind when landed As |
was not expected at Tangiers, l blew
my horn as 1 approached the town.
Some Moorish guards came down to
know what the noise was about, and
seeing me emerge from the sea, they
ran back to arouse the town, declaring
that the devil had just come ashore. 1
left them the same day by steamer"

Ir is said that the chief of the Cal
ifornia Communists is coming east to
advocate his doctrines. And what if
he is. This is a free country, in
which a man may advocate such doc
tr;ne as he may choose, provided it be
not obscene, and be not in favor of
violence. Let him come If he teaches
heresy, his teaching can be met by
teaching the truth. If he teaches
unlimited license and violence, and
organizes for the enforcement of his
teaching, he can be reached by the
force which alone can deal with the
lob. But give him bearing.

T@ Republican party is the only
genuine grsenback party in existence;
all others, using the name are swim
dlers: The Republican party created
the greenback as a war means to
crush Rebellion So violent was the
opposition to the greenback currency
even as war means, that its uncor-
stitutionality was urged, and the
question was taken into the United
States Supreme Court, and there, on
account of the war necessity of such
means, it was pronounced constitu-
tional; but its endorsement by the
Court was by the majority of one.
Two votes less would have rejected
it, and the Republic would have failed
to crush rebellion for want Of finan-
cial means. But when the Republi-
can party created the greenback it
pledged that every note or promise
to pay of the Government should be
redeemed in gold or silver; under
the Constitution it could not do other
wise. Now, however, certain men
are asking the country to go into
Congressional Legislation for green
back currency, without regard to any
value beyond an act of Congress.
thereby disregarding the constitu-
tional requirement of a coin basis.
They ignore the unconstitutionality
of the passage of Congressional acts
for such currency. The fruit of their
policy would be a financial distress
equal to that which befell the coun-
try when it repudiated the Continen-
tai money. Reputation will follow
a disproportionate issue of green
backs, just as it followed dispropor-
tionate issue of Continental money.

The Potter Committee has con-
cluded not to hear the witnesses that
Secretary Sherman proposed to get
in louisiana to prove how people
were abused, driven out and murder
ed for opinions sake. The Potter
Committee will find out before all is
over, that one-sided work does not
suit the people of this country. The
country desires evidence, to know
whether the reports of violence are
true. If they are not true, how easy
it will be for the committee to estab-
lish the untruths of the reports. The
fact that the Potter people are oppo
sing any evidence on that point is
almost conclusion itself that all that
has been SAID about the intimidation
and violence in the South is true
