FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
Secretary Fairchild Makes an
Argument Against 1t.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Secretary
Fairchild appeared before the senate
finance committee to-day, at the re-
quest of the committee, to present his
views on the bill which has passed the
house providing for the issue of frac-
tiOnal currency. The secretary strongly
opposed the bill. He asserted that pre-
viOuS issues of fractional currency had
cost, in the expense of production and
the loss from destruction, as much as
the entire face value of the average cir
'culation maintained. He did not be-
Iieve that public convenience required
a reissue, nor that it would be popular.
fractional silver and the postal note
system met all purposes which frac-
tiOnal notes could serve, except by a
Very large issue, extending to the most
remote parts of the country and requir-
ing years in it's preparation. The cost
and great loss incident to such all issue
and its manifest disadvantage which
had led to its abandonment were, to his
mind, conclusive reasons against re-
newal of such circulation. The con-
trOller of the currency, Mr.. Trenholm,
also appeared before the committee to
suggest some minor notifications of the
bill to reimburse deposit0rs in the
bank.

With pressure Of the hand.

STRAY SUNBEAMS.

The late eX-Gov. HOFFMAN,, of New
York, deserves to be canonized. His
death was produced by gallant attempt
to button his wife's shoes. Gov. HOFF-
MAN had been suffering from a heart
trouble for number of years,
and had been cautioned by his
physicians not to exert himself. While
sitting in his room at Wiesbaden,
where the family were sojourning for
the governors health, Mrs. HOFFMAN
asked her little girl to button her shoes.
Anticipating the child's movements, the
governor leaned over to perform the
Office of shoe-buttoner for his wife, and
dropped dead. In these days of matri-
monial degeneracy, it is such rare
occurrence that man even waits on his
wife, when one sacrifices his life in an
attempt to do it he ought to have
monument.
Perhaps he will, perhaps he will not.
But regardless of the Offense it may
give to Mr.. BLAINE's friends, when
CHAUNcEY NJ. DEPEw makes his speech
at the GRANT banquet next Friday
evening he ought to embellish
his Grafton with the following quota
ton from Roscoe CoNKLING's great
speech at Chicago eight years ago, when
he placed GRANT in nomination.: 1.-THE
shafts and arrows have all been aimed
at him and lie broken and harmless at
his feet. His name will glitter as a
bright, imperishable star in the diadem

POVERTY.

The worst of ills and hardest to endure,
Past hope, past cure,
Is Perjury, who, with her sister mate
Disorder, soon brings down the loftiest State
And makes it desOlate.
This truth the sage of Sparta told,
AristodemuS old
wealth makes the man." On him that's
poor.
Proud worth looks down. and honor shuts
the door. -Alc9us.

AS Corrupt as Ever.

New YORK Times.
1t cannot be said that the Republican
organization has been making progress
since it began to look to Ohio for leader
ship. In fact, it's reactionary tendency
and the loosening of its hold on public
confidence dates almost exactly from
that time. Its earlier financial policy
was marred and disfigured by the inffu-
ence of the '.Ohio idea," and Ohio has
been the stronghold of sectional bitter
ness. 1t appears now as the first great
state in which the Republicans abso-
lutely refuse torecognize the necessity
of reform in the tariff or, indeed, in
any direction, except in the regulation
of the suffrage in some other state.
Ohio, in short, has come to stand for the
least promising tendencies of the Re-
publican party.

No Quorum Present.

WASHINGTON. April Glowing to a
failure to get quorum until nearly
noon, the session of the ways and means
committee to-day lasted only about ten
minutes. The limitation of debate
on the tariff bill was not re-

contented itself with sending the
Mills surplus bill with the Spooner-
Beck amendment as passed by the SEN
ate to subcommittee composed of
Messrs. Mills, Mcmillan and Kelley,
and ordering a favorable report OH the
Breckenridge resolution, calling upon
TIM secretary of the treasury for in
formation regarding the importation OF
foreign labor and its effects upon Amer
lean industries.

HERBERT AGAINST REED.

He Thinks the Gallant Captain

Republicans.
Red Wing Republican.
We are well acquainted with Capt.
Reed, and, compared with the average
representation of the district in which
this county has been for fifteen or
twenty years, he is not discreditable as
a candidate. We are no longer satisfied
with Republican who will follow the
lead of Republicans from other states,
where the interests of those states are
different from ours. To know that we
are going to have such representation
as we need, the candidate must be able
to express his views clearly upon those
leading questions, not only in uncertain
congratulations, but in definite state
ment of principles. We have a fear
that Capt. Reed will lack ability to do
that, and that independent voters will
thus be drawn to Macdonald, who pos
sesses the faculty of apparently candid
and fair reasoning, as well as the gift of
barney.

And TRUSTS Multiply.

Philadelphia Record.
1t was reasonable argument of the
apologists for a protective tariff system
that the consequent high prices of taxed
goods would induce competition in
their production, and thus ultimately
force reduction to reasonable rates.
But plan has been devised to strangle
competition. The consumer finds HIM
self hemmed in between tariff on one
side of him, to raise prices above a
proper level, and trust on the other
side, to prevent reduction. He has no
effective remedy except to reduce the
tariff to such an extent as to prevent
extortion by giving him access to COM
petitiVe markets.

NOT RELIABLE.

The workingmen are beginning to
find out for themselves what the
GLOBE has so frequently told them
that reliance upon the Republican
party managers, despite speciouS prom
ises, is folly. tits one thing to endeavor
to win votes by promises with no in
tention of fulfilling them, and quite an
other to respond to demand that their
protestations of sympathy be made
good. That is a difference which the
workingmen discovered when party
of men claiming to represent them
requested the Republican managers,
who are looking for head to their
ticket, to indorse all alleged working
mems candidate.
There had been any amOut of pro-
fessed friendship for the workingmen
when there was no reason to suppose
that the wOrkingmen wanted anything
for themselves but extending them the
aid which they had so often asked of
them; that was horse of another color,
dark horse, as it were, which they
could not see. Of course the eyes of
the delegation were opened, as they
should have been before, for the re-
fuSal of the managers was fOregOne
conclusion from the start. The only ave-
nue. through which the workingmen
can reach any desired end is through
the Democratic party. They will find
their safest course in continuing allie
glance to it. In support of that fact argu-
ment is unnecessary. Experience has
amply demonstrated it.
For the Democratic party has always
been the party of the people; the Re-
publican, the party of the monopolists;
and regarding this latter class the eX-
perience of the workingmen themselves
should have taught them wisdom.
