James Mcmillan, the Michigan mil
lionaire, who aspires to fill Senator Pal-
mers seat in the United States Senate, Is
a Canadian Scot by birth, and isfifty. one
years old. He began lie as poor boy,
and when nineteen was clerk in De
troit hardware store at S15 month. His
present fortune is estimated to be two
or three times as large as that OF Senator
Palmer.
Emperor Francis Joseph has lately
been keeping a watchful eye upon the
numerous members of the Austrian arls-
tocracy, who are disposed to be extrava-
CANT and proAigate. Several offenders
have been summoned to the Palace by
the Emperor. who has given them very
sharp reproofs, rs he is resolved to stop
the gambling and dissipation which have
become so prevalent during the last few
years.
The Baltimore Herald says: 1.-THE
Republican Campaign Committee will
be called together in few days, when
work for the campaign will be mapped
out. 1t il said that General Felix Agnus
is likely to be offered the nomination for
Governor by the next gubernstorial con-
vention, and it is said that he will ac-
cept." II Maryland is by any chance to
be afflicted with Republican Governor
she will be fortunate in getting General
Agnus.
The Emperor Frederick left the sum of
about S750, 600, which is invested in Eng
lish securities. to the Empress for life,
and then to his younger children as she
may appoint, and the trustees are Queen
Victoria, the King of the Belgians, and
the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. lie
bequeathed other moneys in Germany
that we're at his own disposal IN the same
way, and there is a special direction IN
his will that the Prussian Government Is
not to have any control over any part OF
this property.
Princess Letitia, who is to wed the
Due d'Aosta. speaks several languages,
and is a good musician and clever paint
er. She resembles her father. and IS
every inch q Bonaparte, both in type and
character She Is also considered as
beautiful as she is accomplished. AL
though above the average stature, she Is
graceful. She is an excellent rider, and
one of her greatest pleasures is to scour
the Alpine villages on her favorte chest

pious almost to austerity, has not re-

Eat Money.

The American ASSOCIATION for the adj
vancement OF Science will mover secure
much fame because Of the papers read
before il unless ii draws the line some
where between folly and science. We
read in the Cleveland Plain Dealer that
Colonel DANIELS, OF Virginia" read a
paper on "Our Monetary System" in
which he called upon Congress to fulfil
its long-neglected duty by giving to the
American people full supply OF coined
notes, issued directly without the inter
vontion Of banks, and to withdraw other
paper currency. Yes, "coincd " notes.
That's phrase much affected by
the Greenbsck lunstics, who firmly
believe that a piece Of paper on which
are printed the words, "This is Dol
lar, is as good currency as piece OF
paper on which is printed q promise to
pay dollar upon the presentation OF this
piece of paper at one OF UNCLE SANS
sub-treasuries. And indeed such cur
rency would be good enough "untii the
breeding broke until UNCLE SAM got
into war, say. Then these fist-money
notes-these "coined notes would seek
in vain for somebody to redeem them.
Real money ought to be fre-proof, as
gold and silver are--indestructible. in
word it ought to be worth its fsce
wherever it goes it ought to be unaf-
fected by war. Fiat money has none OF
these characteristics or qualities. 1t is
promise which does not even promise.
IL is snare and a delusion. Colonel
DANIELS says:
"The present monetary system Is
bundle Of crudities and Inconsistencies
outraeing every principle OF sound eco
nomic science"
On the contrary, it is the best in the
world in some respects. The note-hold-
ers OF the national banks are absolutely
safe from any loss that could result from
the breaking of bank or its being rob
bed OF its assets. At least one country
south OF us on this continent has at
tempted within the last few years to es-
tablish banking system like ours, and
has succeeded so we'll that her currency
and her condition are better now than
they ever were before.
Instead OF issuing more greenbacks
the Government would do better to re-
call those that are out, and leave to the
banks the duty Of supplying the public
with currency. If war were to come
upon us the greenbacks would soon be
worth less than the bank-notes, which
are doubly secured, and therefore the
latter would be boarded and the country
left with no other currency than what
would in that event be irredeemable
greenbacks.
Ten years ago there were many green
back lunatics in Virginia. The people
were too wise. however, TO he misled by
their shallow teachings. Now, there are
not as many in the whole State as there
were then in one city, though we were
then ten years nearer that saturnalia OF
fiat money which all Of us witnessed du-
ring the war between the States. There
are still oxtant a good many of those
"coined notes" claiming to be "dol-
lars "issued directly by the Govern
ment," but alas nobody wants such dol
lars. Everybody prefers redeemable
notes or real coin.
