Dunn's Coin Certificate Measure.

The amendment which Congressman
Dunn, of Arkansas, offered to the Wilkins
national banking bill a day or two ago
promises to bring into prominence again
the silver issue. The Wilkins bill, as is
well known, permits national banks to issue
circulation to the full amount of the bonds
deposited by them in the Treasury as
security for their notes. Mr. Dunn does
not oppose this BILL but he believes that his
amendment to it will do what the bill will
not, viz, furnish a sufficient and elastic cir
culating medium. He proposes in his
amendment that the government shall issue
to the banks gold and silver certificates on
coin or bullion deposited by them
in the Treasury. The certificates
will be government certificates, and will
have no connection with Individual banks.
They will be redeemable in coin and will
be full legal tenders. The bullion on which
the certificates are based will be received at
its market value. There will be no distinc
ton between gold and silver certificates.
The gold certificates will be good for a
dollar in gold at the Treasury, and the
silver certificates for a dollars worth of
silver measured by the gold standard. The
amendment also proposes that the COM
pulsory coinage of the silver dollar shall be
suspended, and that the Secretary of the
Treasury shall authorize the coinage of SO
much of the gold and silver bullion on de.
post as may be necessary to redeem the
certificates which may be presented for re-
dempton.
The national banks have not thus far ex-
pressed any hostility to Mr. Dunn's amend
ment The certificates will be an absolutely
safe circulating medium as they will be
based upon coin, and the banks will get the
benefit from loaning them. The banks will
have larger amount of circulation than at
the present, because now their circulation is
only 90 per cent. of the face value of the
bonds they have on deposit, and the bonds,
being at a premium, represent more than
their face value. A discussion of the amend.
ment, however, may develop objections to
| it which do not now appear.

Another Use for ELECTRICITY.

The great need of most large cities is pure
water. This isn't one of Savannah's needs
because the artesian water with which she
is supplied is absolutely free from disease
breeding germs The water supply of
nearly all cities, however, is drawn from
lakes and rivers, aud it is more or less i'm
pure. To these cities the alleged discovery
of Prof. Hugo Blanck of Pittsburg, Pa, by
which water is relieved of impurities, will
be a boon that cannot be rated too
highly The professor says that the
passing of an electric current through
water kills all the germs of
disease that are in it. Experiments it is
stated, have been made with water taken
from the Monongahela river, near the sewer
escapes, with entirely satisfactory results.
A PittSburg capitalist has built large tanks
in that city from which he proposes to sup
ply citizens with water made pure by the
electrical process Patents have been taken
out so that there is a chance that the pro-
fessor and the capitalist have a fortune
within their grasp.
Assuming that disease germs in water
can be rendered harmless by electricity,
why wouldn't electricity kill disease germs
taken into thehuman system There is quite
well supported theory that cholera and yell
low, typhoid, scarlet and malarial fevers
are caused by disease germs. II they are,
why would not electricity be the best
remedy for them; Before specializing too
extensively, however, it might be well to
wait for a confirmation of the statement
that electricity passed through water will
kill all the disease germs in 1t.

You were standing alone in the silence,
When passed down the stair that night,
Alone with your thoughts in the shadow,
Away from the fires soft light,
And never greeting you gave me,
Not a word your lips let fall,
As came from the light to your side, dear.
That night, in the oak hall.
But knew, ah. so we'll the secret
You fanciedy you kept unseen,
And hated the pride that was standing
Like a shadow our hearts between,
So told you that night story.
And you listened as in a spell.
Till | saw that you guessed the meaning
OF the story tried to tell!
You fain would have silenced me then, dear;
To leave it untold were best
Too late, for learned. as you drew me
To your heart, that you knew the rest
And the shadow passed by from between us
Forever beyond recall.
As you whispered the end of the story

The MORNING NEWS will begin the publ
cation of a deeply interesting story next
Sunday morning entitled Section 55S, or the
Fatal Letters. The story is based upon
facts furnished by Inspector Byrnes, the
great New York detective, and is written
by Julian Hawthorne. 1t deals with mat
ters of the present day, with which many
people are familiar. There is a saying that
truth is stranger than fiction and this story
illustrates how true this saying is The
story is startling and sensational, but con-
tains nothing that strikes one as being inn
probable The reason of this is that strange
as the leading incidents are they are true.
The story has been procured by the MORN
ING NEWS at considerable expense. Those
who read it will admit that the expense was
justified 1t will appear in the Sunday and
weekly editions, and those who want 1t
should subscribe at once.
