rHE BEST FORM OF PAPER HONEY


As the opening of Congress draws
near, the newspapers friendly to th'
national BANS increase their clam0r0u'
demand that something shall be done Il
perpetuate the national bank circula
zion. 1t is generally acknowledged
that the Treasury, Notwithstanding the
strenuous opposition IL made last win
ter to the Morrison resolution, will dc
precisely what that resolution would
have required II to do In the way Ol
calling bonds, and that In the course Oi
the next twelve months the whole Oi
the outstanding three per cents will be
called and paid, leaving only the four
and halls and the f0urs remaining
Even the four and q halls will be due
and payable In 1891, and then only the
fOurs will remain available as security
under the present National Bank act. for
circulating notes. The high premium
upon the fOurs reduces the net income
from them to less than two and half
per cent. per Annum, and since out Of
this income has to be paid the tax OF
one per cent. upon the circulation, there
10 little or no induCement for the banks
to buy and deposit them. Besides, the
fOurs will be subject to absorption for
the national sinking fund, and will pro-
badly all be retired by purchase In few
more years. 1t is plain, therefore, that
some new plan will have to bs adopted
II the circulation Of the national banks
ID to continue.
The subject Is receiving consideration
not only from the partisans OF the
banks, but also, we are told, from the
officials of the Treasury Department.
As yet no scheme likely to be submitted
to Congress has been promulgated.
Those which have been put forward by
irresponsible persons are none OF them
worth serious discussion. A bank Clrcu-
culatiOn without security will never be
tolerated by the people Of this country,
and no security yet proposed would be
acceptable to the banks.
But, as we have often reminded our
readers, there is no need Of any bank
circulation at all. The national bank
system can live and thrive without It,,
and the country CaR very we'll dispense
with it. The assertion so confidently
made In various quarters, that national
bank notes are the best form of paper
money that can be devised, Is an impu
dent falsehOod. All that makes them
good any way Is the fact that they are
secured by United States bonds, and
that they are equally current
in all parts Of the country.
In respect both Of security and of uni
Versal currency they are eQualled by
Government notes, and these have the
additional advantage both of being legal
tenders and OF costing the nation moth
ing for interest. A greenbsck is no
more nor less than Q DOn-interest bear
ing Government bond, and that it Is,
therefore, both safer and cheaper than
a bank note, representing portion Of
an interest-bearing bond, needs no argu-
ment.
What the agents of the national banks
may not be able to accomplish In Con-
gress, 1t is impossible to predict But
that the people Of this country will per-
NIT themselves to be tTicked into paying
the national banks so little as even one
per cent. per snnum for paper money
that they may have for nothing we are
slow to belieVe.-LNew York Sun.

NEW WORKERS enjoyed the novelty Of a
Chinese funeral few days ago. The
dead celestial was q woman, Mai Shum
One OF the Deculisrities Of the funeral
was the trOtting Of the horses In the
funeral procession at full speed, while
the Cinnamon In the carriages threw
bits Of rice paper in the street. The evil
spirit Is supposed to follow In the wake
Of the procession. awaiting an opportu-
nifty to seize upon and cOnfscate the soul
of the deceased. The evil spirit Is sup
posed to have failing for rice paper,
probably being a cigarette smoker, and
as he cannot resist the temptation to
pick up the bits Of paper cast from the
carriages, he loses considerable time.
By the time the evil one has succeeded
in cOrraling the paper the Cinnamon
have trOtted to the cemetery and got the
corpse safely planted and by incanta-
tions and various ceremonies placed 1t
beyond the reach of the evil one, who
chsgrined and disappointed must con-
sole himself with rice paper until he
gets another chance at chasing corpse.

THE cooking Of cabbage In the White
House during the Presidents reception
hours is the latest thing complained of
by the fastidiOus Washlngtonisns. Cab
bage Is not held by the scientists to be
desirable esculent, but 1t commends
itself to hardy, muscular people who
possess palstes that have not been spoil
ed by high living. The aroma of boil
ing cabbage mingled with the Odor of
chrysanthemus is something new In
social circles, and we are not prepared
to speak of the combination as promo
ter of appetite or as an attraction for
official leVees. Fashion has a great
deal to do with these things however.

JOHN DoANE, Of Wagon Wheel, Idaho,
died recently, and his mother, a widow,
and his two unmarried sisters went to
the town to attend the funeral, and re-
mained to look after his property. They
were the only unmarried women in the
place, and before the flowers had with
cred on Johns grave the widow had
been married to the Mayor of the town,
the elder sister to the Sheriff, and the
younger to prominent citizen. The
three weddings were held at the same
time, and all of the town attended.

The effect of the recent changes In
the postal laws in the direction Of In
creased facilities and cheaper postage
ought to encourage Congress to 60 still
further In that direction. The Third
Assistant Postmaster General estimates
that additional revenues may be expect
ed from the extension of the special
delivery system and the admission Of
liquids as mall matter, while the In
crease of the unit of weight Of first class
matter has encouraged the substitution
of sealed for unsealed letters, which is
also leading to increased revenues. The
time is rapidly approaching, if 1t Is not
already here, when the Government
can afford to give the people of this
country as good mail facilities as
those of England and at no higher rates
of postage.

A 100000 FAILURE.
The Firm of j. 8 s. B. Sachs Put Up Their
Shutters.


Shutters.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 29.-The wholesale boot
and shoe house of ]. & s. B. Sachs, 100 Pearl
street, suspended this morning and executed
a deed Of assignment for the benefit Of
creditors to NJ J. Mack, without preference
Their assets are estimated at 5000 and
their liabilities at 100000.
The firms collections have of late been
slow, by reason Of which some Of their paper
held in Boston was not promptly taken up
This precipitated an uneasy feeling among
all their Boston creditors, and at once not
less than $50,0U0 Of their paper, most OF
which was not yet due, was thrown on the
market, forty or fifty thousand Of which was
offered in this city, some as low as TO- IL and
IA per cent
Over $4,000 were offered Saturday, at q
at discount Of IA per cent, by Cincinnati
broker. Under such circumstances it be-
came impossible to hold up, and the assign
ment was made. Mr. Mack was seen and
said all possible information he had on the
subject was that he would have to give $780,
600 bond Messrs. Louis and Adam Kramer
are attorneys for Sachs, and telegraphed to
the Boston creditors that an appraisement
would be made in few days, when it was
thought satisfactory arrangements would
follow, and the Arm allowed to 60 on with
their business.
The firm Of Joseph & Samuel B. Sachs
commenced business here nearly twenty
years ago, previous to which they were Of
Louisville, KY. They claimed q net capital
of nearly 100000 in their business four
years ago and have been increasing it since.
They are one-third owners in the shae manu-
featuring firm of Blacker, Sachs & Gerstle,
on Seventh and Sycamore, and the senior
member of the flrm, it is said, owns property
in Kansas. They claim to have done an an
