Tue attorney. generals report contains a
suggestion that congress should attend to
at once. He calls attention TO the great
necessity existing for some measures which
will expedite the transaction of business in
the Federal courts, and particularly tho
supreme court at Washington. 1t is noto
rious that it is now next to impossible to
reach hearing before the supreme court
under three years from the time OF appeal.
The government penitentiary which he
speaks OF should be built in Texas by all
means, as Arizona and New Mexico are too
wild and remote to afford the proper field.

enlightenment and civilization of our day
are furnishing more examples than did an.
tiquity or the middle ages of the truth o.
the famous expression, "rneasy lies Tho
head that wears crown" Nearly every
sovereign OF Europe during the century ha.
been threatened with assassination, and
even our republic has had two of its rulers
shot down.

To-Day occurs the transit of Venus. II
will be over ahundred years before the fact
recurs but 1t is to be hoped that tho inves
tigmions to-day will give us some more nc
curate information as to the distances of the
planets from each other than has yet been
gathered. Tho determination of distances
in the planetary system is the real signid
canoe Of this passage of Venus between the
sun and earth. In San Antonio is the only
point OF observation in Texas where sta.
tons have been established for gathering
data on the eveut, but in other portions o,
the state the transit can be- observed with
proper instruments. The exhibition will
las. some hours and is the greatest as,ro.
nomical event Of the year.

ACCORDING to the comptroller oe|the cur.
roncy the total currency of the country, in.
Guiding bank checks and drafts, which are
as much part of the circulating medium
Of the land as bank notes, is but little
short of 5000, 100000. Seventy-fvc rel
cent. of the financial transactions of the
year are conducted through checks and
drafts. 1t looks as If this amount ofmoney
ought to be sufficient to properly handle
our trade and keep down scarcity Of
money for while at least. The facilities
for carrying on internal commerce arc
growing 30 rapidly that IL now takes less
actual money for the purpose than formerly
though business is heavier.
