An attempt on the part of the de-
mocracy to recall and cancel green
backs this winter, would be worse
than folly. There is not the least
probability that such a measure could
succeed, and it is certain that such
an effort would react injuriously in
the next presidential contest. If
successful, it would be q blow struck
at the national banks themselves, al
though it is their friends that press
this measure on the consideration of
the public. 1t might in that event
open up opportunity to them to in
crease their issues, but that would in
volye them In the necessity o~fprovld-
ing a corresponding accumulation Of
coin. The substitution of checks and
drafts for other forms of money, with
the assistance rendered by clear
ings, might be made to supplement a
smaller circulation than seven hum
dred millions, so as to make it avail
able for national wants, but together
ssuld not reduce it to a compass suf-
fciently contracted to be RENTED to
corporations. 1t is true that the green
backs are liable to be shorn of their
legal tender capacities by the repub-
lican supreme court, but that will not
initiate against their use as currency
SO long as government receives and
redeems them.
The disposition, therefore, that is
being manifested by democrats of diff
ferent sections to divide upon such
impractical measures as either the
immediate substitution of black backs
for gleenbacks or of greenbacks for
black backs, is extremely unfortu-
nate. In some aspects it resembles
the chickering's in the democratic party
which have hitherto wrought such
damage to that body and the country.
1t comes of abandoning national poll
CIV for local interest. The New York
democracy had a perfect right to pu,
rify and unity itself, even If in doing
so it committed a Go de Sc but it has
10 right in order to promote its pecu.
liar city intere SITS to plant its suicida
carcass in the path of the democracy.
so as to block its progress, and wher
it attempts to do 80, it exhibits
spirit as dogmstlc and ~domineerins
as was ever evinced by Tammany.

The advantages that would result
from The full and free coinage Of sill
yer are too plain, and have been too
frequently announced and advocated
to render repetition necessary. The
propriety of maintaining a greenback
circulation and of ultimately substi-
tuting it for all other kinds of paper
currency has also been frequently set
forth. On these points most people
have settled convictions. 1t is not
u design at present to interfere
with them, but to call attention to
the presumption, arrogance and i'm
pertinance of a so-called democratic
New York City paper. Its views are
sectional. They may be and most
probably are, a faithful expression of
the sentiment Of a large number of
the rich men, the f~nsnciers, bankers
and merchants and money institutions
and corporations of New York City
that would dictate to the country, if
it were possible, a financial policy
favorable to their class interests.
What is the stand that the World has
taken? That because the electoral
vote of the State of New York is nee
essary to the Inauguration of a dem
ocratic president, that vote will not
be cast for a nominee of that party
that is not wholly acceptable to New
York City and devoted to its develop
ment. This is intolerable. 1t out
herods HerOd. 1t transcends Kelly
and Tammany, and explains how it
has come to pass that the State Of
New York has been divided and
thrown into the lap and embrace of
the republican party-whither it fought
to be followed by such domineering
and disorganizing sheets as the New
York World.

tends that the existing national bank

tends that the existing national bank
ing system shall be substantially
maintained till the existing bank
charters expire by their own limita-
ton. 1t further adds that New York
will not tolerate the silver legislation
in the House of the extra session
known as the Warner bill that New
York, it must be borne in mind, is
not a provincial, but a metropolitan
state that she is the most powerful
state in this union and that no man
will be president without the vote
of New York in 1880; and that no
man will get that vote, be he repub-
iican or democrat, who lacks a solid
record for honest money and a temper
which will make New York feel as
sured that he cannot be cajoled by
communists and debt shirkers." And
subsequently, the World thas
v~entilates its views: "The party
which puts the practical ideas Of New
York to the front in 1880 will win the
day and make a president, no matter
whether that party calls itself demo-
cratic or republican, conservative or
reform, or what you please"

The cmigrant party which left Paris,
OAt., on Tuesday night for Manitoba,
was without doubt the largest that ever
left Ontario, requiring two monster
special trains of sixteen passenger
coaches, two baggage and thirty freight
cars. The smigrants were all from
points of the main line of the Great
Western railroad, between Hamilton
and London and Wellington, Grey and
Bruce divisions. The number OF full
tickets sold was little more over 500.
1t is computed that the capital at thu

In the almshouse they are investigat.
ing a young woman named Kate. The
sole popularity about Kate is that she
Is fat. The management there pro
posing to reduce the immense girth
which envelops Kate's frame work,
thought it a good idea to dose her with
anti-fat. At first she was demure
about the matter but being pressed
by the attending physician, Doctor
Ogle, for whom she has conceived
a strong liking, she consented. When
the first dose was taken shs tapped
the beam at 25S. After three
weeks constant feeding - almost
exclusively with the auti-fa. at consid,
erable expense, she was again Weighed
and found to have gained two pounds
To continue this experiment at such
an expense would have been simply
ruinous and Kate's supply had to b'
cut short. At kate's return to rrgu

THE DREAD DESTROYER.

The death of Maggie Noon, a young

the residence OF her sister, Mrs. Mary
.O'Connor, 6l2 w. Eighth strset, yester
day, calls to mind the remarkable IA
tally that has taken place in the
family within the space OF one year.
Mrs. Noon the mother, then a widow,

was married, and with her husband,
whose name was O'COnnor, lived il New
York, but her husband dying about
three years ago she removed back to
this city to start q little store and
afford home for her sisters.
Scarcely had the four sisters got COM
fortably settled down in their hone,
when that fell destroyer, the consump-
ton, entered the household, and Cassie
aged "a was the first victim. She died
April 18th, 1878. Scarcely Aad the
grief of the remaining sisters been as
suaged when .he rosy bloom of health
upon the cheek of Anna, another sister,
began to get pale, and on the 10th OF
last September she calmly closed her
ewes in death. to join her sister and
mother in the spirit world. There were
two sisters left, to comfort each other
in their atfl c,iuns, but the destroyer had
not yet completed his work, the cup o'
sorrow was not yet full.
Maggie, the youngest, was marked
for the next victim, and yesterday she
breathed her life out sweetly in the
: hope of q blissful immortality, leaving
but the widowed sister behind. Maggie
was in the 21s. year Of her age, and
will be buried tomorrow afternoon at
3 80 o'clock in St. Jossph's cemetery OIL

this is not all the sorrow that has over
taken this afflicted and bereaved family
