An Impending Currency Problem.
CbicGgO Tribune

1t is now nearly year since the Iri-
bune called attention to the steady APP
proach in our finances of another stage of
currency contraction in consequence of
the redemption of the bonds on which the
national bank circulation is based. The
Comptroller of Currency devoted a large
part of his last annual report to the same
subject. In it he ingenuOusly expressed
the conviction that the action to be eX-
pected from Congress at the then APP
preaching session would etfectually re-
move all the danger as to which he raised
a soundOf warning. The confidence of the
Comptroller in the efficiency of Congress
was sadly misplaced. The session came
and went and nothing was done. We fear
the same result of no result is to be looked
for the coming session. The House is
Democratic, the Senate Republican.
Hence neither is responsible and neither
will be willing to allow the other to make
credit for its party in the Presidential
election by carrying through a measure
of broad and effective relief.

Causes of stagnatiOn in Business

Voc OF JONTIlUI y IOHtH7tFts'
In our judgment the great difficulty, af-
fecting more or less every department of
trade, is that too many people have been
living upon the resources of the country
without contributing anything to the COM
mon supply. The bulk of the non-pro-
ducers may be divided into two classes
the idlers and the spectators. The num-
Der of those who are idle has largely in
creased. There was a time when, outside
of large cities and few families which
in this respect tried to ape the foreign
aristocracy, the great body of the people
of mature years and in good health eX-
pected to work in some form to earn their
own living.

A Good Word for Mcdonald
~ NTo.L Sac,

For our own part. if Mcdonald is nomi-
mated, we shall certainly support him,
and we shall not think that we are sup
porting an unworthy or an incompetent
candidate. He is a person of strong
sense, of experience in public affairs, and
of manners which win friends for him
wherever he is known. Under all Ordi-
nary circumstances he would make a
sound, conservative, judiciOus President;
and under the present circumstances he
will be so great an improvement over any
Republican who can possibly be elected,
that if he is nominated, we shall seek to
be content with it, and shall do our best
to promote his success at the polls.

Hon. W. J. Northen, before the State
Agricultural Society in Atlanta, stated
that he ground his own cotton seed meal
and distributed il with kemp's manure
cart. His example is worthy to be fol-
lowed by other farmers in Georgia. Ii
would save a great deal to the farmers if
they could grind their seed at home and
avoid the time and expense of hauling to
the mill. We do not, however, advocate
such wholesale waste of the cotton seed
oil. 1t does not profit the soil, and as it is
valuable in the market. Farmers who
grind their seed should also compress it for
the oil, the meal being just as valuable
thereafter as a fertilizer, and greatly i'm
proved as food for stock.

Stanley Matthews side of the story of
his appointment to the Supreme bench of
the United States is given by some of his
Washington friends. 1t seems, according
to this story. that Matthews contested
the Senatorship with Garfield in spite of
an express agreement that he would not.
This made Garfield Matthews enemy.
Garfield was successful. Very soon after
came the Chicago Convention and Gar
fields nomination as a Presidential can
didate. Garfield wanted money about
this time, and Major d. G. Swain wanted
to be made Judge Advocate General of
the Army. In return for a big loan, Gar
filed induced Hayes to name Swain
as Judge Advocate, although he was
sixth on the list in the order of promo
ton. The argument Garfield used with
Hayes was that if he became President he
would provide for Colonel Rogers, Hayes
Private Secretary. Matthews having been
beaten for the Senate. had to be provided
for. Hayes wanted TO provide for him,
and there We're also mysterious intima-
lions that the railway companies wanted
him on the Supreme bench. Influences
were brought to bear to get Justice
Swayne to retire. This accomplished.
Matthews was appointed. At Garfeld's
request the appointment was held UP and
died in the committee. Hayes was frantic,
and appealed to Garfield when he came
into office to reappOint Matthews. He
asked that this be done as a set-Otf
to the appointment of Swain. The bar
gain with regard to Private Secretary
Rogers was annulled. Garfield agreed,
and soon after he was inaugurated he
sent Matthews name to the Senate. The
appointment was bitterly opposed, with
Garfield's consent, until at the last mo-
ment, when the administration Senators
got word to let Matthews 90 through. He
got through by one majority. This is
nice story. 1t sounds a little better for
Garfield than the story Dorsey tells. But
after all Dorsey's story, that Huntington
and Gould gave 500, OOOt to have Matthews
appointed, seems to have the ring of truth
in it.

Speaking of DR.. HaygOOd's MOnteagle
address on negro education, the Augusta
EceBing NeirS says: 'This is not the first
time, of late years, that this eminent d.
vine has given Unmistakable evidences of
a tendency to fanaticism on the negro
question. This address at MOnteagle is
considered by the Northern fanatical
press as an advanced step in thought, but
no thoroughly representative Southern
man viii for a moment agree with DR..
HaygoOd on this question. He speaks
alone for himself, and not for true public
Southern opinion" On the same subject
the Marietta Journal remarks: ''Dr. Hay
good has certainly taken strong, positive
and decided grounds on negro education.
In fact. he is a radical extremist, and
should at once resign the Presidency of
Emory College and apply for the Presi-
dency of the negro university in Atlanta,
and thereby practice what he breaches so
earnestly"

moths. The plan is to use a tin pan u by
"a inches and , inches deep, with a piece
of tin II inches high across the centre of
the pan. and a small tin lamp arranged to
cast its light on both ends Of the pan.
Kerosene oil to the depth of one inch is
put in the pan and the vessel placed on a
stake or other secure rest, where the flies
are most numerous. Vast numbers of the
flies may thus be destroyed and the crop
Of worms greatly reduced if not destroyed.

The first Of the Louisiana rice crop this
season was received on the 9th of July.
The amount was eleven sacks. On the
same day last year the first Of that years
rrop was received. The amount, how
ever was larger, it being one hundred and
six sacks. Provided the weather con-
Times favorable during the harvest,
it is thought the crop this year
will be double that Of last year.
An average Of the estimates places the
crop at about two hundred and fifty thou
sand barrels OF clean rice. The impress
sion among New Orleans factors is that
prices viii be lower than last year, owing
to the fact that the tariff on rice is
reduced, which viii encourage the I'M
portation Of foreign rice and bring about
a more active competition.
