GRANTS PROBABLE EsCAPE.-WAsH-
INGTON, April 14.-General Grant and
wife left here for New York yesterday.
General Grant did not return President
Arthur's call. He made it rule while
here to pay no call and accept no invita-
tons. This has given him the opportu~
nifty of avoiding Arthur and Blaine
without having its being taken as an
affront. Grant and Blaine have not
spoken since the spring of 1880, and the
only reason is the fight Blaine made up
on Grant in the Chicago Convention. IF
it had not been for Blaine's VIGOROUS
fighting, Grant would have been nomi-
mated. Senator Miller, of California,
reports a good remark from Mrs. Grant
on this subject: 81 am so glad my hus-
band was not nominated in 1880 at
Chicago" she said. "Why?" asked
Senator Miller. "Oh," she replied, eff
he had been nominated and elected be
might have been assassinated by some
crank like the one who killed poor
General Garfield. 1t is disreputable to
be put out of life by a crank. To die
for sweet revenge is one thing, but to be
snuffed out by worthless crank is posi- :
lively ignoble" General Grant will not
be candidate again, Notwithstanding
the prediction of some of the political
astronomers of the time. General Grant
has fully committed himself to Logan,
and he is not in the habit of going ba,-r
on his WORLDLY Telegraph to the st,
Louis Dispatch.

THE Republicans of Wisconsin have
thus far very sensibly INDUCED in no
boom for any candidate in particular for
President, and it is DESTROYS that this
conservative feeling characterize their
movements until after Ethe National
convention. The time for booming is
when the candidates are in the field. 1t
is expected that delegation favorable to
General Fairchild will be selected next
Wednesday at Madison, but further than
this we hope that the delegates from this
state will go unpledged to Chicago, free
and untrammeled to favor that candidate
under whose banner they feel most as
sured of victory.

THE TRADE DOLLAR AND ITS HIS.
TORY

Of the trade dollar authorized by the
act of February II, 1878, and made a
legal-tender to the same extent as other
silver coins, there was coined up to July,
1876, $15,631, 900, of which 81, 269, 108
bad been exported for Grade purposes
in China and Japan, leaving So, 361, 1892
in circulation in the United States.
When first coined the 420 grains of silver
in the trade dollar were. worth 1925
cents in gold and 1856 cents in curren-
cy, the gold value of a dollar note at
that time being but 1914 cents. By
1876, when Congress took away from
this coin the legal-tender quality-which
it was said the trainers of the act never
intended to give 1.-THE value of silver
bullion so declined that the trade dollar
was worth but 848 cents. The quanti-
tity of silver il the standard silver dol
lar being but 1925 grains, its value was
proportionately less. After the trade
dollar ceased to be legal tender $780,
540,910 more were coined. When, in
1873, its coinage was stopped the total
amount issued was $35, 959, 800. OF this
amount it is estimated that from ST, 000,-
900 to $8,000,000 remain in the United
States Up to July l, 1883, the trade
dollar would bring in New York 90
cents, but concerted movement being
then made against them, their value fell
to IS cents, and they passed out of circu-
latioE. Their popularity had not been
enhanced by the fact that they had been
bought at discount by manufacturers
and mine-owners in Pennsylvania and
elsewhere to pay out at their face value
to their employees, so that the agreement
of the New York produce dealers to
decline after a certain date to take the
trade dollar was welcomed all over the
country as signal to put an end to an
odious practice. The bill which has just
passed the House authorizing the ex-
change by the Treasury of standard dol
lars for trade dollars, dollar tor dollar,
will have, of course, if it becomes law,
the effect Of raising the value Of the trade
dollar to par As bullion it was worth
during the past year from Sc to 871a
cents. The final passage of the bill is
considered doubtful.--BaItin San.

The bill which passed the national
Senate several weeks ago relative to the
election of President and Vice President
has been finally reported to the House in
mutilated form. AS it passed the Senate
it was very good bill. It allowed the
courts of each state to determine, in case
of dispute, which were The legally chos-
en- Electors, and it fixed safe and rea-
sonable method of counting and deter
mining the Electoral votes after they
reach Washington. Such bill ought to
be made law at the present session of
Congress to provide against a disputed
election next fall.

The use of the postal card has decreas.

The use of the postal card has decreas-
ed since the duction of letter postage
TO two cents. Since July 1 last there has
been al increase of IS per cent. in the
number of adhesive stamps, and 25 per
cent. in the number of stamped enyel-
opes issued, but the issue of postal cards
reached 256,552,75O only, as against
260, 1885, 50 during the corresponding
period in the preceding year. In conse-
quence of this decreased demand the
Postmaster General has informed the
Speaker of the House that the estimates
for the cost of manufacturing postal
cards during the next fiscal year may be
reduced $4,000.

Mr.. WILLARD is seldom seen on the
street in New York now. He appears
rarely at the opera and spends nearly all
of his time, when he is in New York, in
his residence on Madison avenue. If he
leaves town for a month or a week, it
attracts no attention. He has sunk out OF
sight. He still keeps up his superb es-
Enlistment on the Hudson river, besides
his city house, and lives in the style of a
millionaire. The stories of the abiect
poverty of Willard are no longer heard in
New York. He is very comfortable.
