70 give them when its only credit and
value comes from the government credit,
upon which 1t may as well be directly

the government has the power to impose
restrictions upon banks of deposit and dis
count rs well As of circulation and that
the impositions of the national banking act
can be retained while the currency privilege
is taken away. Some persons question
whether the national government does not
lose its jurisdiction over banks that are not
currency makers, but this is hardly
sound position. But if ii be true IL will not
be difficult to meet it by the issue
by the national banks of their notes
secured by deposit of an equal amount
of bullion with the government. The
notes issued by the United States are based
upon silver in its vaults, and if the banks
want to enjoy the distinction of issuing
paper currency they might be given it upon
exchanging silver coin for their notes. The
government would have no greater burthen
than 1t now has in taking care of the coin
in the vaults, and the banks would have no
profit save the honor and the satisfaction
of the crinkling note instead of the ringing
coin.

court on Monday. The Rev. Pay ton Harri.
son, colored gentleman OF Virginia WAS
discovered Offering butter for sale in the
market At least he said 1t was butter and of
course reverend Virginia gentleman could
not tell a lie. he said that he was mission
sry on his way to Pennsylvania. He WAS to
be married when he reached this land Of good
butter and had bought the article which got
him into trouble, In order that his sister
might make wedding cake thereof But
The sister said the butter was old and the
reverend virginia missionary gentleman
with matrimonial intentions, so far forgot the
dignity OF his position as to offer the bad
outter Tor sale on market, of course without
ProcIalming its poor quality. Just how thi, /,
butter was proved to be oleomsrgarine is not
stated and is h ard 10 guess, as scientists con-
cede that analysis is not always reliable in
the matter. But what might have deyeloped
into an interesting test case was cut short bv

Mr.. STANLEY, who has lust arrived in
New York, finds small newspaper war on
his hands, his assailant being Colonel
Chaille Long. The author of Through the
Dark Continent +" was aroused by the news
that Colonel Long had publicly denounced
him for inducing missionaries to visit the
country where so many of them have died,
and that he was accused Of an overpowering
ambition. In reply Mr.. Stanley attributes
the attack to Longs envy and malice
aroused by the proof given by Stanley that a
lake discovered by Long was only an arm of
a larger lake. Colonel Long answers that so
far from being sngered by Stsnley's success
as an explorer he had eulogized him in many
speeches, but that he had soon found him out

The New York World discusses Mr..
Blaine's popularity with great care and con-
cludes with the following questions: "Does 1t
not tend to prove that the average run of our
people admire the man who stands by his
friends and expects them to stand by him,
irrespective of a few dubious doings and ways
that are dark aud tricks that are vain Is
there not good deal of very genuine admir-
alton current from the mighty sharp chap who
catches, reflects and champ pions that vague
consensus known "a public sentiment ?"
The Affirmative answer that both OF these
questions require must be promptly given,
and it Is just this fact that makes Mr.. Blaine
the most dangerous man in American politics
to-day; with far greater power for evil than
Henry George or the socialists

THERE are good many strong points in
the report of Admiral Porter to the secretary
of the navy, the most prominent and
strongly urged being that bearing on the ne.
cessity of building vessels of great speed !;
but there is one other point but lightly
touched, which is of great Importance,
namely, the advissbllity Of equipping ships
with full sail power. As the admiral forci-
bly, says we cannot afford to rely only upon
steam as England can, for the sun never sets

AS might have been foretold with safety,
the building of the new war ships has been
given to the lowest bidder, with the excep-
ton OF cruiser No. ], which was found to be
more costly than the highest estimate fixed
by Congress- When the bids on this last ves-
sci were offered, the ship-buiIders well knew
that they were higher than the amount fixed
and would have to be refused, yet they made
no concession. This shows that they had no
hope OF imposing poor material on the gov
eminent, and is the most forcible ompliment
that could have been given to the integrity of
the secretary and his staff. If the builders
were reasonably sure that the appropriation
would be increased by Congress and come
back for the lowest bidder, these facts would
not be so significant, but there is a chance
that the government will be authorized to
build the vessel at one of the navy Yards.

wAySrDE CHANCES.


The acts and words OF Senator Riddleber-
ger, of Virginia, assume an importance
which they do not intrinsically possess when
the marrow margin by which the Republicans
hold the Senate is considered. His paper,
the Shenandoah Herald, in its last issue
has most friendly editorial on Presi-
dent Cleveland that is attracting much
attention. He says The presidents
course, or policy, ss IL is sometimes called,
has unquestiopsbly opened the way in the
South to candid discussion Of public men,
and to a higher plane of political thought
than that resting upon mere personalities and
pref ejudces. For that result, at least, the
president, whether a conscious or unconscious
agent, is TO be greatly commented, or, per-
hsps, it were more accurately stated that the
fruits of the policy were much needed. y
This seems 10 indicate pretty clearly that
Mr.. Riddleberger for the balance of his
senatorial term will be tied 70 the Republi-
can party by a rope Of sand.

BOGUS BUTTER.

Probability that Bill to Regulate It's Sale
Will Be Reported.
Special to the Indianapolis JournaE.
WASHINGTON, April 18 - The House COM
mittee on agriculture will, in all probability, re-
port bill, early next week. designed to regulate
the sale of oleomargarine. There are various
propositions before the committee touching this
subject and it is found to be an exceedingly diff
fcult matter to construcs bill that will cover
all the points of the objections which
are certain to be raised to legislation of
this character. The lobby against the bill
is one of the most powerful that has
been here for years. 1t is q wellknown fact
that the passage of any measure which would
compel retail dealers to sell bogus butter on it's
merits would kill the business; and, as there are
now a great many millions of dollars invested in
this fraudulent trade, it is natural that the man
ufacturers of butterine. oleomargarine and SINH
lar compounds should be willing to spend large
amounts of money to prevent the
passage of any bill which promises to
impression is that bill will be reported which
viii compel dealers to sell all substitutes for
butter from packages capable of holding ten or
twenty pounds, as the case may be- and that
each original ten pound package shall be broken
only by the consumer, while the smaller pack
ages may contain rolls" or ''pats" of the stuff,
marked plainly with butter stamp. soleomar
garine," "butterine," or whatever the substance
may be called 1t will be interesting to note the
discussion in the House, and to analyze the vote
against the bill when it shall come up.

CROP PROSPECTS.
Gloomy Returns from Kansas-Conditi0n of
Winter Wheat-Spring Seeding Delayed.

CHICAGO, April 18.-The following crop sum-
mary will appear in the Farmers Review this
week:
'The chief feature Of the crop returns, ,up to the
close of the week, is contained in the uniformly
gloomy tenor of the returns from Kansas. The
reports from Kansas for the past six weeks have
inicated only partial crops but the latest bulletin
predicts an almost total failure in a number of
the counties, while at the best there is the prom
ise of not to exceed one-thrd an average yield
for the entire State. The reports from McPher-
son county are that the prospect is the poorest
ever known and that the yield will not pay for
the cutting The outlook in Neosho county is
very bad, and already many fields being
plowed under. In Ottawa county fully 30 per
cent of the crop is reported to be winter killed.
while in Sedgwick county the outlook does not
promise to exceed % per cent of crop
In some of the southern counties the outlook is
slightly more favorable, but full yield does not
seem to be promised in any part of the State.
Wheat is reported to be going backwards, on
account of the recent freezing weather. In
some of the counties great deal Of the wheat is
reported lying on top of the ground. In other
States the outlook in many is fiattering for win
ter wheat. In some portions of Ohio the recent
storms have left the ground full of water. which,
with the accompanying cold weather has threat
ened the growing plant, but as a rule the re-
ports are very favorable. Throughout all south
ern Indiana, the fields are looking green and the
plant healthy. The fields on some of the high
lands do not appear at the best, and Some look
badly, but they afe the exceptions. In Missouri
some of the upland wheat is looking poorly. but
the lowlands the prospects could hardly be
better In some of the counties in Tennessee
the plant has already attained the growth Of
twelve inches, ana the general prospect is en-
couraging
"In the spring wheat area, Dakota appears to
be in the lead, with fine weather for seeding and
plenty of moisture No seeding has been done
either in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa or Ne
