favor of appointing only residents to
territorial offices, but that did not pre-
vent the President from nominating
Thos. Moonlight, of Kansas, to be gov
ernor of Wyoming. The remark OF the

er able moonshine" 10 this is criticism
none the less severe because made by a

The decision of the attorney general of the
United States, that the national banks can
not retain the called three per cent. bonds as
basis of their circulation will result in
the withdrawal of the national bank cur
rency and the substitution for it of the sill
yer certificates of the government. The
banks were willing to keep the government
bonds without interest for the privilege OF
keeping their circulation. Wherein their
profit would have been is not very clear,
but they seem TO have foundit. The result
of substituting silver notes for bank notes
will not be noticed in the country in the
present condition of things, but may have
important consequences in the future. The
silver note is money as long as everyone
takes it as such; but it is not legal
tender for debts, and would he use
less whenever gold or greenbacks
shonld be demanded. That time is quite
sure to come. There is periodicity in finan-
cial movements which teaches us always to
have things ready in calm for the day Of

ing something for a debt which your debtor
may refuse to take. Money is supposed to
