Silver Dollars.

The only addition TO the reserve for maintaining
the currency at par is IN silver dollars which could
not be used for that purpose without breaking the
credit OF the countrywide York Tribune
The reserve maintains currency at par
by Lein0 on hand, not by being paid out,
and If every dollar Of the reserve were
in silver dollars it would not affect the
currency to tho extent of one mill on the
thousand dollars. A silver dollar de-
cared by law to be legal tender for all
debts, public and private, is as good as
gold for the coin reserve. Gold, as well
as silver, is at a discount, and the holder
of thousand dollars in silver certificates
would not sell them for their face in
gold coin. The Tribune Is humbug on
the silver-dollar question. If the in
crease of silver and the decrease of gold
now going on in the Treasury does not
bring currency below par, then the silver
coinage cannot be made a bug-bear until
the entire reserve is in silver. Facts will
beat theories. What has become of the
wonderful argument against silver coin
age, that everything was filed and no
more could be stored? Did the mighty
intellects who put il forth finally grasp
the idea that q portion of outdoors still
remained available for any necessary en-.
closures and vaults2

THR REPUBLICAN some time ago ten.
dercd little advice to the National Fair
Association in regard TO the selection of
the proper time for its fair and trotting
races, and also its running meeting. 1t
was then suggested that the running
meeting be postponed until the latter
part of October, after the Yorktown ccle-
bration and after the races at the Pimlico
course. This suggestion was adopted by
the Fair Association. Another suggestion
was that the fair and trotting races
take place during the first week
in October, so as to avoid col.
lision with the Yorktown affair
and the celebration which is to be made
in Baltimore. That did not strike the
directors of the Fair Association favor
ably, and they determined to hold the
fair from October 10 TO the 18TH 1t now
appears that Baltimore has fixed October
10, II, and IL as its three days Of celebrl-
tion, which are three of the days covered
by our fair. BY having the fair OH the
days already decided the managers can
not certainly hope to attract people from
Baltimore during carnival, and they will
be deprived of the attendance of q
large number Of our own citizens who
will prefer the attractions Of the Monu-
mental City. II is still believed that the
original suggestion as to the time OF
holding the fair is the best for the pros
pcrity Of the association, and its success
as local institution is all that The RE.
PUBLICAN desires. There is still time to
make the change If the managers should
deem IL advisable, and we believe they
would be greatly benefited by SO doing,

THE people will be likely to trust more
implicitly in the anti-Bourbonism of SEN
ator Lamar, of Mississippi, when he re-
covers from his rage withSenator Malone
for refusing to be a Bourbon. The Bour-
bons like Lamar, Hampton, and Joe
Brown, who masquerade as anti-Bourbons
when they want negro votes at home, and
then get even with themselves by fiercer
intolerance than before in the Senate,
are not to be relied on in the work oi

least oHe-third greater in value than
that ever transported during the same

-Four stulents of Syracuse Uni

-Four students of Syracuse Uni
vcrsity are under arrest, at the instance
of the college authorities, charged with
cruelty hazing a freshman. whom they
seized upon the street, gagged, carried
four miles into the country and left
him tied to a tree, after having shaved
his head. An account of the affair
closes with the statement that there is
great Indignation in the University,
that the law should be invoked against
students. 1t is fervently to be hoped
that the matter may be sifted to the
bottom and, if the accused be proved
guilty, they may be punished, as other
persons would be punished, for the
same oifensc, with an added penalty
for bringing into disrepute what should
be peculiarly the training Of gentlemen.
Such policy rigidIy adhered to, will
do much to'hasten the total extinction
Of abuses that have their vitality simple
from traditions, and are happily already
much mitigated.

The slaughter of the French ex-
pedtion, which had set out to make
preliminary explorations and surveys
for the Trans-Sahara Railroad, is a
most melancholy recital. Tine en9i-
neers had a strong band of followers,
and were well armed and equipped
but were surprised by hostile tribes
and all the leaders except two were
killed. These two retreated with
sixty-one men, to receive from another
treachcrous tribe sympathy and pois-
oned dates. The only surviving
Frenchman, Polequin, with twenty
eight natives, was at last accounts
fighting for his life with another band
of marauders, and the chances Of a res
cue were very slender. Ifthe pioneers
and surveyors are exposed to such
deadly perils as these, the travelling
public will learn with composure of The
failure of the enterprise and the delays
which it involves Rapid transit is
not pressing need in the Sahara.
