WANTS q Few small Rills-

The Washington Sunday Heraldopens
out on Treasurer Jordan for his course
in regard to the small bills as follows
Why does not some banke- sue out O
msndamus and test the question whether
Treasurer Jordan can refuse to issue
the paper money which Congress has
provided for the convenience of the
people? If Treasury officials do pos
sess any such unreasonable and oppres-
sive powers as they are now exercising,
the law should be changed. We do not
want our executive officers intrusted
with the discretion to refuse to put into
circulation small notes. No one uses
gold coin when paper can be had, no
one complains that gold is not used,
and no one thinks Of compelling its use
instead of paper. Both metals perform
their functions as a currency basis
when they rest in bank or treasury
vaults, while the notes redeemable in
coin do their work. We are opposed
to continuing the coinage Of silver be-
yond the point where silver can be
maintained at par with gold. But no
good end is gained by raising angry
controversy by misrepresenting the is
sue, and the attempt to make silver
odious by locking up greenbacks is the
most impairment and obnoxious way OF
misrepresenting it,

Negro Canvassers.

The negroes are beginning TO see that
General MALONE puts them into the
kitchen, so to speak, and in fact treats
them very much as Mr.. WISE treats
negro legislators. The Peoples i'd
rOeofe, Washington paper edited by
negroes, says:
1.-The Republican managers have per-
petrated the silly blunder Of falling to
employ colored canvsssers. as con-
spicuously as the talents and worth Of
many of them warrant"
just so. And so the colored people
get not dollar Of the many thousands
which General MALONE is reported
TO have received in the North, although,
if we may judge from the speeches OF
SHERMAN, FORAKER. &C., every dol
lsr Of that fund was collected from the
friends of the negroes.
Why not appoint " colored canvass
ers" to canvass the negro counties ?
Why pay white men to speak to the
thousands Of negro voters in the coun-
ties Of Mecklenburg, Prince Edward,
Amelia, Brunswick, Greenville, Char
lotte, Cumberland, &C., when there are
hundreds Of negro speakers ready and
willing, not to say anxious, to expend
a portion of the money which the colored
peoples northern friends have sent hither
to be disbursed in the interest Of the
negroes, and for their sole benefit and
behoof? The white speakers Of the
Mahoneite persuasion ought not to have
all their expenses paid, and the colored
speakers be commanded either to re-
main at home and work there for the
GOOD of the cause or else to travel and
eat and drink and sleep and make
speeches at their own cost.
The Peoples Adrocate has started
question that will not down. General
MALONE must answer it, or the negro
voters of Virginia will know the reason
why. Why are "colored canvassers "
ordered to the rear? Why are they
not employed, and paid out Of the fund
contributed by their friends in the
North, in at least the proportion which
his negro followers bear to his white
ones? lie could not do worse if he
were " Bourbon Democrat"

The Providence Journal dismisses
the Dispatch as follows. Its opening
remark alludes to our apology for the
breyity of our last article replying to
one in that paper:
1.-The cxigencies and duties Of po-
litical campaign have induced in the
Richmond (Va.) Dispatch a brevity and
distinctiveness of utterance which we
cannot too highly commend as and for
its normal style. After a good deal
of pushing it now declares that as
regards the coupons cases and legis-
lation it recommends nothing that will
not be constitutional that it will
neither swear at the court nor adj
wise notification. Now, that comes
up exactly to the point as to which
we made inquiry. So far We are salts
fed. Should there arise difference Of
opinion as to what is or is not consti-
tuiional, it will be time enough then to
argue the question. In the mean time
the Dispatch has evidently been i'm
proved in its temper by our friendly
exhortations. 1t would not represent
the mother Of Presidents did it not re-
cur to the bred Scott decision and the
resolutions of 1913, but it begins to
face forward. and having been saved
SO as by fire , by our ministrations,
we take a patcrnal and fraternal inter-
est in it. If it were only as good as it
is able, how much it might do for Viz
ginia."
We can assure the Journal that we
would rather be good than able. But
as we cannot set up a valid claim to
much of either goodness or ability, we
will dismiss the subject Of the eleventh
amendment for the present.

tached to outlines Of figures that are
DINNER than the atmosphere with which
they are surrounded. These are the
workmen. and you forget all the moist
unpltasantness when you recall the
soul.cheeripg fact that they are ham
mering away at those little dyns-
mite cartridges, one misdirected and
unscientific blow on which would put
out all the lights and bring tn, curiosity
Of the visitor to q sudden and fatal
termination. Usually it is in supreme
moments of reflection of thi, character
that the guide is informed thlt the visi-
tors search after knowled 20 is satisfied
and that he makes wet tracks With as
much agility as the circumstances will
allow for the Shiny, wet staircase that
he regarded with some contempt when
he set out on his exploring mission.
Arrived on something approaching
terra trnid, the outer air seems to him
delightful; he surveys the shore with
fondest affection, is elated with the
thought that it is so near, and when he
reaches Harlem fats, with their odor-
Gus surroundings, he feels that he has
entered upon an earthly paradise, and
that life, after all, is certainly worth
living.
HOW SCIENCE LOOKS AT IT.
To the scientific man all this timiiity
and this oyer-careful fear of a sudden
departure from time to eternity is great
folly and an evidence OF mental weak
ness. lie knows what are the indiSpu-
table facts and rc)oices therein. A
work that was begun in 1875 will in
few DAYS be completed. The two points
of rock that pilots and irreverent per-
sons baye called " the niger heads
will be seen no more. and this point.

charge of the tide will no longer be a
dread to nayigators. He knows.
as Captain George Mackey, Of
the Government tugboat knows, that
the demolition of Hell Gate lessened
that current from nine miles an hour to
six, and he further knows that when
Flood Rock tumbles to pieceSa greater
blessing will be rendered to all those
who do business on these waters.
The early days Of October are there

pliShes what he is trying to accomplish

"As said, | was with him at the

Mr.. MofIett said he had visited seve-
raj points at which General Lee spoke.
Correspondent " Were you in She
nandoah with him? What was the
character Of the meetings, and how

Mr.. Mofett 81 attended the meet
ings at Mount Jackson, Edinburg. and
New Market. | estimated the attend
ance at Mount Jackson to be from
1900 to 5000, and at New Market,
where Lee spoke at night, at about
1000. a fine spirit prevailed among
the Democrats at each of the meetings,
and the people were enthusiastic, and
his reception exceeded my expecta-

MaxneII Identified NJ Rronks.

A st. Louis NO. special says: so
much has been written and printed con-
corning the identity OF the man now in
Jail here for the murder of G.. A. prel-
Ter that a glimmer Of doubt has been
spread over the matter. 1t has been
admitted practically that the man in
Jail is the man who was Preller's travel
ling companion, and he has admitted
that he was present when Preller died,
at the same time giving out hints
that he would try to prove that his
death was due to accident. The
facts being settled, the prime point Of
interest in the matter is the mans
identity. am able now to give the
Herald'S readers conclusive proof that
the man is Hugh NJ. Brooks, the school
masters son. A well-known newspa-
per-man now in England visited Hyde
with instructions to get positive proof
that the man is or is not Hugh Mattran
Brooks. He interviewed Brooks Sc
Nor, and while the old gentleman ar
gued at lepgth to prove that w. Max
we'll might be some one else besides
Brooks, he was forced to admit that he
thought it was his son who is now in
the shadow of the eallows. The Jour
nalist took with him copies of photo
graphs taken here of Maxwell" and
every one in Hyde to whom he showed
the picture, without single dissenting
voice, identified them as pictures of
Brooks.

We again call the attention of our
correspondents to the fact that all let
tiers and kilograms must be accompa-
MED by the full names OF the writer's.
We do not publish the names Of CORE
spondents, but we pay no attention to
communications unless we know who
are the authors. This explains why a
good many, both of kilograms and let
tiers, that are sent to the Dispatch are
not published.

If it be true that a popular revulsion
in India has arisen so important as to
justify the late action of the bankers of
that country in refusing further re-
ceipts, il would be difficult to foresee
its possible result in the East. A re-
fusal to receive silver on the old basis
implies feeling which seems to threat
en- the status Of the existing circula-
ton. -Courier-Journal.

Virginia will elect FITz LEE whether
Ohio elects lIOADLY or not. Ohio is a
Republican State-has voted for every

For these reasons MAHONE's candidate
might as well withdraw at once if
HOADLY should be elected.
In a word, HoADLY may be elected,
but WISE never.

The correspondent spent nearly a
week in Hyde investigating the antece-
dents Of the man, and as result learned
that he practically lived double life.
To his family and many others he was
almost model young man, while in
fact he led very fast and very gay
life, and left behind, when he departed,
unpaid bills amounting to many hundred
pounds sterling. A photograph taken
in Hyde in 1881 is also sent, which re-
moves all doubt of Maxwell and Brooks
being the same. This photograph, the
artist who took it certifes, is the pho
tograph Of Hugh NJ. Brooks.
