Two years ago the Greenbackers
announced, in their Indianapolis
platform, that silver should be re-
monetiZed. and Democrats and Re-
publicanS received the proposition
with sneers and SCOTS and shOutingS
Of contempt.
Who sneers or SCOTS now! Sill, er
is remonetized and all the world
cries, ''amen.
Two years ago the Greenbackers
declared that the only way to reach
resumption was to make greenbacks
receivable for public duties. and the
world denounced us as lunatics.
Now the only question in Congress
is whether they shall be SO received
at once or in October next.
Two years ago the Greenbackers de-
clared that the legal tender notes
were the best currency ever devised
by the wit of man and that they
ought to be forever retained as part
of the money Of the land. And we
were Knocked at as ''rag-babies and
the greenback were denounced as
clamp black lies.
Now the Republican administration
proposes to reissue them as soon as
they are redeemed and keep $500
000, 900 of them as part of the perma-
nent currency with gold and silver!
Two years ago the greenbackers
proposed that legal tender notes
should be received at par in the pur-
chase of government bonds. Univer.
sal mockery hailed this suggestion.
Now the government is about to
adopt that measure also.
Surely never were the principles OF
Il part SO rapidly justified by the course
of events.

The Cincinnati Commercial very
properly remarks that '.equaliZation
is not resumption. OF course not.
The par value of the different kinds
of currency and money can be attain
ed without resumption and can never
be permanently maintained with re-
sumption. The National party is in
favor of equaliZing but is opposed to
resumption.
We have practically reached
equalization already. Now leao us
see whether resumption will follow.
We have been told all along that as
gold fell to par good times would
come back upon us with rush.
Gold is now only one-eigth of one per
cent Y premium and the bankrupt
courts are crowded to the doors. In
fact. as the premium on gold has fall

Rev. Joseph Cook.

Another large audience attended the lee
ture OF Rev. Joseph Cook last night at Pixies

The introduction to his lecture was quite
happy. His first point was the vast extent
of America capable Of holding nearly
$500, 900, 900 of people. This he said was
suggestive Of communism. He stated he
would be shy about giving the elective fran
chise to the illiterate; would not take the
vote from the illiterate now, but would give
no office to an illiterate man, and by and
by would say no one shall vote who can
not read and write.

Fires Last Evening.

The building known as "Whitaker's Old
Slaughter-house," at the head of Deercreek,
in the hollow below the Water-works, was
the scene of the fire which was signaled
from Box 254, about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The building belonged to the
heirs of George Dominic, and had been oc-
cupied for the past seven weeks by Pollock
& Block and B. Benjamin & Son in drying
two hundred bales of cotton, which had
been sunk on the steamer James w. Gaff.
The fire originated in this cotton, on the
third floor, and spread so rapidly that the
girls who were at work in the building had
barely time to escape, and second alarm
became necessary. The estimated loss of
cotton is about 81 600, upon which there is
$1,000 insurance. The damage to the build
ing will not exceed 81, 900.
During the fire Henry Meinze, Captain OF
the Sevens, fell from o plank upon which
he was standing TO the ground, a distance
of about fifteen feet. He was injured quite
severely about the spine, but rested easy

THE SOUTHERN ROAD,
Discussion of the Wilson PrOpOsi-
tiOn

The Special Committee appointed by
Mayor Moore to take action on the propo-
siton of r. T. Wilson, of New York, for
finishing the Southern Railroad met yes
terday afternoon in the Board Of TRANS
portaUion Rooms.
Mr.. Laws, the Chairman, said he had full
filled the trust given him by the Mayor in
calling the meeting to order. The Com
mittee, now that they had met, should take
steps toward definite action in the matter
He believed it would cost but little to finish
the road to Chitwood, forty-tive miles be-
yond Somerset. Now, if the next vote of
the people of Cincinnati on the finishing of
the road at the city's expense should be
nay, then this proposition of Mr.. Wilson
should have serious consideration. He
thought that the proper way to get at the
matter was to invite Mr. Wilson to visit
Cincinnati and lay his views before the
Committee.
Mr.. Davis thought that Mr.. Wilson'S
proposition intended to shut off Chatta-
nooga by turning the road at Chitwood and
running it to Knoxville.
Mr.. Eggleston questioned the Commit
tees authority to negotiate with other
roads to connect their roads with the South
ern Railway. He looked upon Mr. Will
son plan as Delng proposition 1or build
ing his road up to ours.
He believed all the promise that Mr.. Will
son would demand would be to give his
roads the business of the Cincinnati South
ern SO long as the Chattanooga end re-
mained unfinished. Mr.. Eggleston there
fore moved that the Chairman of the Conn
mittee be instructed to invite Mr. Wilson to
meet the Committee.
Mr. Davis seconded Mr. Eggleston'S mo-
ton. He believed the Knoxville route
would open up better country and bet
ter line of communication with the south
west seaports than would the Chattanooga
route.
The motion was carried.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
Secretary to ask the Trustees to inquire
what it will cost to lay the rails from Chit
wood to Somerset.
The Committee then adjourned subject to
the call of the Chairman.
