the CURRENCY.

1t was hardly to have been ex-
pected that the transition from
silver to gold basis should have
been altogether devoid Of friction.
When Messrs. Bishop & Co.'s Bank
declined silver coin, an apprehension
seized the community that gold was
going to be at premium, or silver
at a discount, which is the same
thing. The Chamber of Commerce
assembled yesterday morning to con-
slider the situation, and resolved to
memorialize the Government to re-
duce the silver circulation to not
more than S350,000. Some people
think that will be too little silver
currency for the country's require
ments, as large proportion Of the
wages paid in town and country is
in amounts Of ten dollars and less.
1t would be great mistake to re-
duce the subordinate medium OF
trade below the working require
ments of the country, and until eX-
perience shall have indicated what
amount of silver is required, it is
the duty of the Government to pre-
vent silver being discounted. 1t was
well understood, when the Currency
Act was passed, that the public
treasury wac to sustain the entire
expense Of the change to q gold
basis. We submit, therefore, that
it is incumbent upon the Govern
ment to adopt means whereby people
who have more silver than they inn
mediately require may have it ex-
changed for gold or the silver certi-
ficates that now represent gold.
Indeed, this is the only practical
method of coming at the amount of
silver currency the country requires.
Something like the amount of silver
that is found to be uncalled for in
the treasury after three months or
so, would be the most that the Gov
ernment could afford to send away
to be converted into gold. Unless
the daily or weekly accumulations of
silver in the shops and offices are to
be exchangeable for gold or its re-
preventative paper, the reduction of
the total amount of silver in circula-
tion will not bring about an equili-
brium, but will only produce a
famine of silver, as business men
will hold it in large sums, for oppor-
tunities to work it off in change.
There must be some authorized
place or places of exchange at par,
or there will be general robbing of
the public and unending incon-
yenience.

other companies from this lack was
afforded yesterday, Within two
hours there were as many alarms,
and at the second one it was plain
to he seen that the men hauling the
heavy machines were still weary
from their excrtions upon the first
occasion, and fire might have
spread over quarter of the town
while they painfully toiled to the
supposed point of danger. Per-
haps the fire appropriation made by
the Legislature is adequate to pay
for the hire Of horses for all the
engines at every fire, but so far as
we know the fire marshals or police
have no authority to impress the
services of horses even if there is
money to pay for them. This is one
of those matters in which private
disposition should be made to bend
to the public good, and there should
be police regulation authorizing
the impressment of horses for haul
ing the engines. In some towns
abroad the fire police have the
power to compel people to bear II
hand in drawing hand engines to
fires and operating them when there.
They should have the same power
here. whether it is feasible to have
horses or not. At the second alarm
yesterday the Chinese Company
toiled up Queen street with their
heavy engine, the men all blown and
fatigucd, while dozens Of able
bodied men ran alongside on the
sidewalks, who 10y taking hold of
the ropes could have got the ma
chine along in half the time it took.
The difference of q very few min
utes in the time made in getting the
engines to fire may represent the
salvation or destruction of thou
sands of dollars worth of property,
and the difference between having
the firemen fresh at the scene and
wearied from the severe exertion of
dragging their pondcrous engines is
an additional consideration of
weight. 1t is therefore very false
economy to allow the continuance
of the present slow-going method,
and if there is not public money
available to secure the needed
change, it would be as good an in
vestment as insurance for the prop
erty owners to raise fund for hir-
ing horses, at least until the next
meeting of the Legislature.

on the central tower. Before, how
ever, people realize that an alarm is
being given, there is a confused
iangling of bells that browns the
sounding of the number on the CEN
trail one. Such confusion as existed
ot the false alarm yesterday, regard
ing the locality where the brigade
WAS wanted, is fraught' with dis
astrous results.

THE COUNTRY POLICE.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-As | know
your columns are always open to the
just complaints of any community,
| would like to state few of the
evils that we are afflicted with in
this little town. refer to the in
crease of drunkenness, and drunken
brawls in our streets, and the con-
stant use of obscene and filthy Ian
guage that respectable people are
obliged to listen to from day to day.
During the late session of the Legis-
lature there was a very liberal appro-
priation made for constables in this
district, nevertheless it is a we'll
known fact that policeman is never,
on duty in the town after dark (and
rarely at ally. Could mot one be set
apart for that duty, and he should
be a live man, not the antiquated
fossils they have on the force now,
that can only do two things-draw
their breath and draw their pay. I
do not know who is to blame in this
matter, but certainly it rests at some
ones door. And whoever is res
ponsible should try and remedy the
evil. A RESIDENT.

a writer in the Boston Commer-
cidl Bulletin shows, by comparisons
with the history of the construction
of the Suez Canal, that the Panama
Canal is not so visionary a project as
it has been the fashion of late to re-
present it. He says that work on
the Panama Canal is comparatively
at least two years ahead of the work
on the Suez Canal. Commander
Gorringe, of Egyptian obelisk fame,
estimates, in u letter to 'the New
York ,Sub, that the Canal will cost
about S12O, 1000, and be COM
pleted by January 1st, 1890, at the
furthest.

All money derives its value from its
purity or genuine character. The ALSO
lutte necessity Of a commercial medium,
and its great value, present great tempta-
tions to the dishonest to make and pass
spurious limitations Of the standard issue.
But as this impairs confidence and unset
ties trade, besides being a fraud, the law
has attached heavy punishment to the
crime Of coming, and one that meets the
approval Of every honest man. Strange
to say, however. there is another species
Of the same offense that honest men
often sanction, and are sometimes guilty
ofthemselyes; that is, coming and passing
spurious wOrds4slang. The purity OF
our language. as medium Of conveying
our thoughts. should be almost as jeal-
Ously guarded as the purity Of our cur
rency. as a medium Of conveying our pro-
perry. We received from our fathers a
language pure. accurate and strong; and
we are in a fair way Of leaving it to our
children corrupted, uncertain and weak.
This is a serious question, as there IS no
truth more certain than that a peoples
character is mirrOred in their language.
Our words have reflex action on our
ideas: and even though the latter be
pure. vet a base mode Of expression viii
contaminate them, while the constant
use of pure, correct language will tend
10 purify an unclean mind. Words are,
as it were, mental clothes. Surely a
dirty tramp, when well washed and
dressed in clean attire for some time, will
begin TO feel and 10 be less a rogue;
while a gentleman, dressed in rags and
soiled with filth as long a time, viii fast
lose his decencv. Clean water in a dirty
conduit becomes unclean; but dirty
water in a clean conduit will deposit
some Of its impurity. 1t may truly be
said that every word has a character, an
identity. and these are good tests Of its
responsibility. A rOugh's language is as
easily recognized when heard, as his
clothes are when seen; while the neat
ness Of a gentleman dress is repeated in
his language.

The vicinity Of Montgomery and Con-

become a resort for crowds Of disOrderly
negroes, who congregate there and mase

throwing rocks up Congress street lane

them came close to a negro woman who
was sitting in the lane in charge Of "a

loose her wrath in vile and prOfane Ian
guage. in a loud and bOisterOus manner,

terday morning, disturbance was caused
BY the loud cursing and riOtOUs conduct
Of several drunken half-grown negroes
singing ribald songs. About O'Clock
last night another gang was
throwing rocks across Montgomery
street, near BrOughtOn, when one Of the
missiles struck the wall Of Feeley's stables,
making noise like the report Of pistol,
and which brought the residents in the
vicinity to their doors, thinking that one
had been fired. The police have done
their best to keep the place orderly and
numerous arrests have been made, but
the gangs have not yet been broken up.
