RETIRING THE TRADE DOLLAR.

The House Committee on Coinage
agreed on the lst instant to report a bill
to retire the trade dollar, 50 called. We
trust there will be no delay IN making
this law. The attitude of the Govern
ment, and for that matter the Secretary
of the Treasury on this illegitimate coin,
has been disgrace to the country. The
trade dollar was professedly issued for the
convenience of our trade with China and
Japan, and contains more silver than the
standard silver dollar that is a legal
tender. They found their way into gen.
eral circulation through commercial
channels, and without protest on the
part of the Government until the coun-
try was flooded and then the Secretary
of the Treasury and the Postmasters and
other officials under his instructions dis
credited them by refusing to receive
them except at their value as silver
bullion. Of course there was a fall in
value, and nearly every working
man in the land has had to
suffer repeatedly a shave Of from
five to fifteen per cent. on these coins
that they had received at par. Ii these
were simple Jumps of silver with their
weights stamped ON them there would be
less excuse for the ipiquity, but they are
marked Trade Dollar and have the stamp
of the United States Mint on them, and
are quasi coin of the Government and
ought to be SO respected and redeemed by
the Government that issued them. Be-
ing more valuable intrnsically than the
legal-tender dollar, the Government
could, in case they became
troublesome, have bundled them
off to the Mint and converted them into
standard dollars at profit to itself and
at the same time saved the discreditable
attitude of clothing one silver coin by
its own ipse dixit with the quality of
paying 100 cents of debt and refusing
this attribute to an other coin stamped
in the same mint and of greater intrinsic
value than the one that is declared by
statute to be legal tender. Govern
ments should in all things be just, and in
the matter of the trade dollar it has
been not only unjust but pettifogging.

Mr.. Woke CHING Foo, the missionary
sent out from China for the redemption
of Chicago, does not speak in the most
complimentary terms of his countrymen
in America. He says they were the
tramps. criminals and paupers of the en-
pire, and that the better class Of Chinese
could not be induced to exchange the
fowery kingdom for this degenerate land
under any consideration. "Why," said
he, 1--WE have q dozen universities in
China larger than any in America; we
have ten thousand Ralph Waldo Emer-
sons; we have the oldest literature in the
world; we have better code of morals
than you have; our laws arc better and
more stringent than yours and these
things can be and will be proved one of
these davs."

Never Forget Anything.

Charge your mind with your duty
That IS largely the true definition oi
faithfulness. Bad memory and mis-
takes are used as apologies a great deal
oftener than necessary. A boy be-
ginning business life will generally lose
his place who pleads such an excuse
more than once or twice.
A successful business man says there
were two things which he learned when
he was eighteen, which were alter
wards of great use to him, namely,
never to lose anything aud never to
forget anything An old lawyer sent
hlm with an important paper with cer-
tain instructions what to do with it.
But inquired the young man, sup
pose lose it; what shall l do then"
The answer was. with the utmost
emphasis, You must not lose it.
Il don't mean to- said the young
man, but suppose 1 should happen tor
Bat say you must not happen to
I shall make no provision for any such
occurrence. You must not lose it,
This put new train of thoughts in
the young mans mind, and he found
that II be was etermined To do thing
he could do it. He made such provision
against every contingency that he
never forgot anything. He found this
equally true about forgetting. II a GER
tain matter Of importance was to be
remembered. he pinned it down on bis
mind, fastened it there and made 1t
stay.

His Poor Theory.

Frank Longstreet went into a saloon
on Gratiot avenue, picked up a twenty
five pound chunk Of Ice, and was walk
ing away when arrested. He had
sulky, obstinate look on his face and
he was brought before the bar, as he
looked up at the clock and growled /:

ratio of mortality in this country,

NIGHT WoRKERs.-Bats live their
active lives in the night; when sun
light comes they fly away to their holes,
there to sleep until twilight comes
again, when they resume the oecupa-
ton Of insect killing. The female bat
has rather q hard time of it, as she is
the nest and the food Of her young un-
til they are themselves able to fly. OF.
ten have I seen female bat, with her
young clinging to her breast, flying
about in search Of food, and the little
ones we're not so small either. How
else could they get along The old
ones make no nest; if they wanted to
ever so much they could not, and the
chances are that, from their wandering
habits, they spend the day IN one place
and the next in another two or three
miles distant, just as they happen to be
when day over.takes them, and If they
left their young behind them, their ex-
act locality might be forgotten. When
the young ones are able to shift for
themselves the mothers life is easier,
and until winter comes TO kill their in
sect food, she lives luxuriously. Then
when all nature IS prepared TO put on
the livery of winter, bats, instead Of
leaving the scenes where they have
passed the summer, repair to their
haunts in the caves and walls aud,
hanging by their hind feet, in little
groups of five or six together. pass the
dreary season in one unbroken sleep.
