branch Of the Ancient Order of Hibernians is at
tached to the Church Of Our Lady Star Of the Sea- at
Long Branch, n. j., of which Rev. Father Walsh is
pastor, and rumor has it that some of the members
have Of late been behaving themselves in any but
truly Christian At all events, Father Walsh
gave them severe excoration from the pulpit
on Sunday, and he threatened to denounce
the entire Order unless some of the
members of his branch .mended their ways.
He said he had formerly upheld the Order. believing
that it was composed Of upright and honorable ci-
zcns but that upon investigation no had discovered
that some Of the greatest roughs in the country
belonged to it. He then told how. after he
had solicited aid from his congregation several
prominent members Of this Order visited him
and had the impudence to question him regarding
the disposition he had made of the funds received
for the purpose OF paying on the church in
debtedness. Ho further remarked that after
requesting the removal of some objection
able members from the society the officers
Of that body positively refused to do so.
He declared that any one who would associate
with Objectionable persons better than
the persons themselves, and that in future
il he should find any member Of the society violating
tho law in any way he would denounce the whole
ciety and every effort to have the guilty party
punished to the full extent of the law.

SILVER BANKS.


Referring to the propriety of establish
ing q silver bank, made by o San Francisco
paper, the Bulletin" says the idea is not
a new one, having been proposed by Conrad
Wiegand OF Nevada, at least three years
ago. There is from $40, 600, 900 to $50, 0OO,-
900 in small change in circulation in the
United States. A very large proportion Of
the retail business Of the country is per-
formed in fractional dollars. The Clear
ing House has declined to make further
exchanges in subsidiary silver, and the
banks have suspended separate silver ac-
counts. Many Of the retailers and jobbers
who are accustomed to handle consider
able silver are possibly q little embar-
raised at this turn Of affairs. The event
has probably given rise to the sugges-
ton, and one of our enterprising monye
brokers proposes to test the feasibility OF
keeping silver accounts for merchants.
We confess we are not very ~sanguine OF
his success. 1t is a fair inference that the
banks would not have abolished silver ac-
counts if there had been any profit in
keeping them. 1t is safe to assume that il
they find a mistake has been made they
will be quick to rectify it. They certainly
will not allow their business to be deci-
mated by any notions or prejudices con-
| corning the functions Of the various cur
rencies. We fancy that the problem con-
corning the use Of subsidiary silver is in a
fair way Of settlement. The difficulty
arose from overcrowding the channels Of
| circulation to the exclusion of more port
able money. The Booth bill, which is
now in operation, will reduce this redun-
dancy in a short time, and the need for q
silver bank, or for separate silver accounts
at bank, will have passed away. Since the
law vent into effect about $500, 900 in hall
and quarter dollars and dimes has been
exchanged for legal tender money at San
Francisco, and still larger amounts al
Eastern offices.
