Reitz's becoming Greenbacker finds
no response from his organs, they en-.

was Mr.. Reitz a Greenbacker before

THE New York Star cannot see the
rosy prospects for the Democracy, i'll
the daily political developments, that
the World, Post and Times, and other
Cleveland papers see. The latter find
much to rejoice over in the endorse
ment of Blaine and Logan by the
Young Republican Club of Brooklyn.
The Star, among other things On the
topic, remarks: "Ry an overwhelming
majority, the club has decided to sup.
port the regular Republican ticket,
and the Independent pretensiOns in
Brooklyn have been knocked in the
head. We have always been of the
opinion that the dimensions of the al.
legged Republican revolt were very
much exaggerated, and the people can
now judge for themselves exactly what
it amounts to. Carl Schurz' Brooklyn
speech seems to have gone beyond the
willest hopes of the Blaine managers.

JOHN KELLY received AZ 900 votes
when he was running as an independ-
ent Democratic candidate for Govern.
or of New York. John Kelly is
TAmmany's chieftain. The position
of Tanmany this year is thus defined
by John l. COughlin of the Irving
Committee:
"Tammany went through the form
Of an endorsement to save appearan.
.ces, and there, TO speak truthfully and
plainly, the relation ends between a
large number of the leaders and
Cleveland. l never placed much
faith in an endorsement which was
coupled with an Outpouring of viru-
lent abuse on Governor Cleveland"

tive. 1t does not need comment.

STILL not a word from Cleveland as
to his manner of expOunding the
tariff straddle of the Democratic plat.
form. The Randallites want him to
hold his tongue and pass for a tariff
man; the Morrison men swear he is a
free trader. The plain honest people
who hate duplicity want him to speak.
There is not much more time in
which his speaking will be of use, for
if he should speak so close upon the
election that there is not time to test
the truth of the report, the country
will believe it is another Morey letter

The fact that all the Republican
Representatives but three voted
against the horizontal reduction of
twenty per cent. which was advocated
by the free traders because it was "a
step in the direction of free trade"
proves that the Republican party is
the party of protection. The fact
that nearly four.fifths of the Demo.
Gratis voted for it, and only fraction
over one.fifth against it, proves that
the Democratic party is the party of
free trade. The straddle in the plat
form proves that they are playing Il
"boodle game" in which they hope to
cheat protectionists into voting their
ticket. BY coming out bravely for
the policy their party favors and
fighting the battle on that issue, they
would be beaten of course; but they
would command some respect in their
defeat. This, however, Democracy
has not the courage to do.

Durability of Bank of England Notes.

Writing about the Bank of England
in Harper's Magazine, William II. Ride
ing says: The album in which speci-
mems of the various counterfeits discov-
cred are preserved, also contains some
interesting proofs of the extraordinary
durability of the notes. There are three
notes for twenty five pounds which passed
through the Chicago fire, and were sent
paymaster of the Chicago and Alton rail
way. Though they are burnt to crisp
black ash, the paper is scarcely broken,
and the engraving is rs clear as In new
note. There are also tive-pound notes
which went TO the bottom of the sea in
the unfortunate tralning-ship Eurydice,
and were recovered after six months inn
mersion. They are not even frayed The
paper is stained light brown. and that
is the only effect their long exposure TO
saltwater has had. We are shown in
small case covered with a magnifying-
glass few charred fragments of paper
for which the bank paid 81, 400 They
are the remains of several notes de
stroyed in a fire, and were redeemed at
their full value, the holders being
able to give their numbers and
dates, and tc satisfy the bank
that they had actually been destroyed.
There is another note in the album which
was in circulation 125 years before it was
returned to the bank for payment. No
note is issued twice As soon as a note
is returned, even though it has been out
but few hours, it is cancelled Very
often note issued in the morning is
brought back to the bank in the after
noon of the same day, but on an average
a afive-pound note is out about eighty days.
The notes have many strange adventures
One of large denomination was found
keeping the wind away in the broken
pane o. a cottage window. neither the
cottager nor his wife having any idea of
its value. Another, also for large sum,
the disappearance of which had led to
many wrongful suspicious and accusa-
tions, was discovered, after many years,
inclosed in the wall Of the house from
which it had mysteriously disappeared.
One thing the notes will not endure.
They will hold together at the bottom of
the sea, and come out of furnace intact.
but they will not outlast the scrubbing,
the bleaching, and the mangling of the
laundry. That trial, to which they are
sometimes subjected through the mad
vertence of ladies who send them to the
wash in their dress pockets, usually de
faces them, though even after it their
geauineness is still recognizable.

places only round games of cards are

ever, much money is lost and won. AS
to the incalculablc wrong wrought, the

embarked on the sea of chance, with
their fates totally at the mercy of the

the chance of the game dependent on
the honesty or dishonesty of an un-
scrupulous dealer, the result may easily
be imagined.

with that prodigality and brilliancy of

said that these sand banks have huge de-

it can fill its hold and deck with as many
