If SENATOR JoNEs' bill for the issue
of coin certificates on the basis of sill e
yer deposits were to pass, it is argued
that there would then be no need for
the "greenbacks" and national bank

new notes would be money and the
last relics of the war in the currency of
the country would naturally pass away.

THE GENERAL feeling Of The country
is that the subject of Southern outrages
has been sufficiently discussed. The
Rocly UoUHtaia Ne,rs says wisely and
truly: "The advent of railroads, the
extension of business and the cultiva-
ton of trade between the different sec
tions Of the country will do more to
abolish outrages than all the speeches
that were ever published in the Coagres-
Si0pdl Rec0yd. "

The SENATE COMMITTEE on Military
Affairs has favorably reported bill
providing for division of the Signal
Corps into two bureaus, one of which
the weather bureau-is to be trans
ferred to the Agricultural Department
on July /, 1891, and the other of which
to be known as the Signal Corps--is
to remain under the War Department
The proposed division and transfer
should be made, and there is every rel
son why the bill should pass.

The FACT THAT the demand for free
raw materials comes mainly from New
England, which for half century has
favored protection, is significant. 1t
shows how much the conditions of
manufacturing and the state of the
markets nave changed. The signiti
cance of this fact is emphasized by the
additional fact that some leading Re
publicans-among them Speaker ReeC
and Chairman McKinley-are favor
able TO tariff admitting raw materials
free.

The RAILROAD problem is apparently
in a fair way to be thoroughly dis
cussed. Yesterday, in the Senate, Mr..
Sherman characterized the occupation
of streets both by the b. & o. and b.
& p roads as an outrage and as amount
ing to an actual contiscation of prop
erty. The street railway systems also
came up for consideration, and were
made the subject of several amend
ments, upon which no decisive action
was taken.

WATERS WONDERS.
A Delightful Lecture Before the Museum
Association.

Delightful Lecture Before the museum
Association.
The lecture-room at the E. B. Croker
Art Gallery was put to the test of its full
capacity last evening. The hall was filled
as it has not been in many day. The
audience was one thoroughly representa-
tive of the thoughtful and intelligent citi-
zens of Sacramento.
The lecture, the fourth of the Museum
Association course, was by Rev. Joseph
Levy, and his subject was THE Wonders
of Water" 1t was handled in a most
interesting manner. The marvellous prop.
critics of water in ocean currents, in vapor,
ice and dew; its behavior under heat and
cold; its strange conduct at certain stages
of heat and reproduced at certain low
temperatures; the proportions of water in
vegetables. fruits and the human body, and
the molecular system of the composition
of water, were all lucidly explained and
enlarged upon in manner that held the
large audience in wrapt attention for thirty
minutes.
The speaker then applied the lessons Of
these wonders to prove that water in nc
action is susceptible to the doctrine oil
adaptation; that it proves design, and
therefore there must be designer. From
this he passed into brief aggressive out
line of natural theology, aud prophesied
the new religion in which science and the
ology will be one.
Mr. Levy is speaker of great delibera-
| ton; his enunciation is something pecui-
lar, so rounded, chiselled and finished is
every word in utterance, and in this it is
| in strong contrast to the delivery of mosi
speakers. His lecture throughout was dis
| tiDguished by ease of manner, clearness Of
expression, vigor of thought and the graces
of scholarship. The audience manifested
| its satisfaction with it heartily.

IT'S evident that the English have at
last awakened to the viciousness of Utah
Mormonism, and that the day of success
full proselyting by the Elders Of the poly
gamous faith has dawned in Britain. Per-
haps among no people have Mormons
won more converts than the English. The
stories of hundreds of English women who
have been brought over to that faith, and to
lives in which their individuality has been
practically obliterated, are now rising up in
Judgment against the infamy that lured
the victims into the deceit of polygamy.
1t is not at all surprising, therefore, that
Mormon missionaries have been mobbed
in London, and that the recital of the
wrongs of English girls at the hands of
the Mormons should rouse the people to a
fury that even the well disciplined police
of the city could not quell.

THE FAIR AND CHICAGO.

Chicago has won the House on the
Worlds Fair location. 1t now remains
for the Senate to act. Chicago will prob
ably succeed in that branch Of the national
Legislature also. If this means the defeat
of the scheme for the permanent Exhi-
bition of the Three Americas at Washing
ton, then a mistake has been made; if
that scheme is to be LAID upon the shelf,
the country will be a positive loser by
Chicago's triumph. The Three Americas
Exposition will be of greater benefit to
the nation than half a dozen Worlds
Fairs.
Assuming that Chicago viii win her
battle, then comes the question, "Can
that city prepare to carry out the scheme
of an international Exhibition in the
very brief time remaining for prepare
tion?" If we do not oyerestimate the
energy of the people of the Garden City,
they viii have the necessary structures in
place and all the local details completed :;
but the real work, and that which is to
make strongest demand upon their adj
ministration, is the working up of interest
in other countries fer the exhibition. In
that field there is to be done some of the
most arduous and skillful labor. The
nations of the earth will nearly all pause
to ask where and what is Chicago, and
why they should send there examples of
their products and manufactures? Chi
csgo, therefore, has before her the task of
educating the world up to true appreci-
alton Of her Importance as the metropolis
of the West, and of the West as the center
of population in the United States. She
must also overcome, by some means, the
objections that will meet her agents on
every hand concerning the transportation
of exhibits SO long distance from the
Atlantic seaboard after their arrival in
the United States We do not believe
that anything short of free transportation
will do this, and hence Chicago will have
to provide the large sum necessary to pay
freight upon the European goods between
New York and Chicago.
Assuming that the Senate will indorse
the action of the House, all opposition to
Chicago should be abandoned, and the
whole people unite in aiding that city to
make the fair success beside which that
of Paris will be ranked second. The fair
of 1892 will be compared to that just
closed in France, and it was the largest
and most successful ever held; the effort
of Chicago must outstrip it or the country
will be Inundated Then, too, it is to be
at once fair and memorial commence
rating the four hundredth anniversary of
the discovery of the continent, the greatest
nation upon which is our own. The
whole people will therefore feel an interest
in the success of the exposition that would
not attach to any ordinary Worlds Fair.
So that the one thing to do when the mat
ter is finally settled, is to help Chicago and
her citizens in every possible way to do
honor to the occasion and the nation.
