A DEMOCRATIC HUsE.

The statement that President Harrison
has intimated that he will veto the Free
coinage Bill, ii one should pass, may be
taken with more than the average grain of
allowance. The declaration of an inten-
ton to veto bill would have a worse effect
upon the party than a veto. The veto
might be defended on the ground Of conyic-
ton, but the announcement of purpose 10
veto would be clear attempt to influence
legislation. The general public is pretty
well convinced by this time that President
Harrison is cautious aud conservative. He
has made no attempt to dazzle the eyes Of
the people, but his efforts have been in the
direction Of an appeal to the judgment Of
the intelligent masses. Whether or not he
will veto free-coinage bill, if one is pre-
sented to him, no man probably knows.
There is evidence to the effect that he would
prefer bill designed to cause an apprecia-
ton Of silver as preliminary to its restora-
ton to free coinage, but it does not follow
that he will set himself against Congress if
that body does not follow his suggestions.
Tbs report of an intended Veto is doubtless
a Democratic ruse to create discomfort in
the Republican party. Republicans should
not be deceived by such tricks.

The yeas and nays on the McKenna
amendment to the sugar schedule showed
lis for and 135 against. Only about two
thirds OF the members were present and
voting, but there is no reason to suppose
that a full house would show different
result. If the speech of McKenna failed to
convince the House that sugar should be
protected, the speech of Mr.. Morrow should
have been conclusive as to the necessity of
portion at least of the revenue now de-
rived from sugar. The House has been
liberal in making appropriations, but as
rule for worthy objects. There will be no
excuse for it, however, if it presents def
cheney in place Of a surplus. The amend
ment was voted down under the lead of
Mckinley, but it will doubtless come up
again for consideration. If Mr.. Morrow is
correct in his enumerntions of appropria-
ton bills that are likely to pass, the Ways
and Means Committee will find itself con-
fronted with the alternative of restora-
ton of sugar to the dutiable list or a deficit.
At present the House does not know pre-
cisely what amount may be appropriated,
McKi nley naturally did not relish the idea
of losing even temporarily the leadership,
but when the House comes to the duty of
posting its books he may conclude to re-
store the duties on sugar.

THE ELECTRICAL CURE.

The hCmeopatbs raised nice question of
therapeutics at their annual meeting on
"Wednesday. DIR. G. II. Martin read paper
III which he asserted that he had cured a
case of paralysis in the lower limbs of a
child by tie use Of electricity. This was
denied by Doctors Mcneil and Selfridge,
who asserted that electricity could have no
such effect; that there had either been an
error in DR.. Martins diagnosis, or that the
cure had been wrought by nature, and had
been accidentally coincident with the ex-
hibition Of electricity. To this DIR. Martin
Ietorted that his cunfreres ignored the
value of electricity as part of the mateIia
nedica. He described it as toxic, soda
tive and stimulant, which acts on the
nerves as massage does on The muscles.
1t is desirable that this fight should be
fought out to finish. The public are very
anxious to know whether or no there is any
curative value in electricity. Thus far,
every body is in the dark on the subject
Quite large body of physicians use cleo
tricity in their private practice, some of
them because they do not know what drugs
to give their patient. and feel that, to re-
leVe his mind, something should be done;
others because, like DR.. Martin. they really
believe that it possesses curative power.
Ont faulhB physician uses 1t freely In
diseases of women, it is said with success.
But thus far, the medical reviews have not
published a single report Of case of cure
which eau be directly and unquestionably
ascribed to the use of that treatment.
IL stands to reason that an electrical
shock, which is so keenly felt by the human
body, ought to have effects on the nerves,
and perhaps also on the tissues and organs.
There is nothing incredible in the PROPOSE
tiOn that those effects might cure certain
forms of disease. Why they should, OF
how they could, no one can tell; but neither
can any one Say that they would not. Per-
haps, if we knew more of the nervous
system and were better acquainted with the
nature of electricity, we might be able to
form an intelligent opinion on the subject.
As knowledge increases, we may see clearly
that which is now obscure. All that can
be done is to go on studying. In times
when ia grippe is said by physicians to be a
cure for certain forms of insanity, there is
no saying what new curative agents we
may not have at hand.

ALL FOR A SENSATION.

A dispatch from San Diego says that Wal
ter G. Smith, editor of the San Diego Sun.
whom an enterprising contemporary placed
at the head of an army destined to invade
Lower California, ridicules the whole story
and says it originated in desire to create
sensation. 1t was hardly necessary for
Mr.. Smith to take the trouble to character
ize the story as sensation. No one has
supposed it to be anything else. The paper
which published the story said after stat
Ing that there was TO be a. meeting of the

American WomEN ABROAD.

The average American is but little fat
tered at the comments of European CORE
spoDdents concerning American women
abroad. There is too much blaze of dia-
monds in their descriptions of events in
which our fair countrywomen take part
If cluster OF American women is seen
anywhere, blaze of diamonds is presumed.
The display Of diamonds seems to be the
height of their social ambition. Those
who are personally acquainted with these
accomplished ladies know that their right
to social distinction does not depend, as
would seem, upon the value of the dia-
monds they wear. 1t is, perhaps, unfor-
tunate for American women as distinct
class in Europe that the most prominent
have become known through their pos
session OF great wealth. European social
circles have been attracted and carried by
the power of money. 1t does not follow,
however, that circles which have opened
their doors 10 these rich ladies receive them
on terms of social equality. If they were
not noted for their wealth and their ten
dency to display, they would be the social
equals of the ladies who hold the doors to
European society. But it must be admit
ted that an excess of display is vulgar both
in Europe and in America.

LINEN MANUFACTURERS.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin has the
following:
Correspondence from Ireland received In Bos-
ton this week states that The Belfast linen mer-
chants and manufacturers are in state OF great
anxiety. fearing that the proposed increase of
lhe duty on linen goods will lead 10 the starting
Of linen looms ID The United States, thus deDriv-
ing them of their largest market. This shows
tie confidence entertained in our ability 10 man
ufacture linens by those fully competent 10
judge.
The Belfast linen manufacturers have
industriously cultivated the idea that pecu-
liar climatic influences had much to do
with the alleged superiority of the product
of Belfast mills. 1t appears, however, upon
exa minatlon, that climate has less to do
with the process of spinning fine thread
than skilled lab or The Bulletin says that
our tiaX-millS are spinning fine yarn and
fine thread that have a reputation along
side with the best foreign brands. The
puts duty on linen goods which will en-
able the American manufacturer to supply
the home market with linen goods. 1t is
stated by our Boston contemporary that
several Of the largest American manufac-
turers Of linen thread have guaranteed their
next five years. The increased duty will in
consequence have to be paid by the foreign
manufacturer, as be will have to sell his
goods i'll our market at the same prices as
under the present rate Of duty.

PAYING GOVERNMENT LOANS.

Mr.. II. T. Fairbanks defends his PROPOSE
ton to give the Government the option of
redeeming legal tender notes in coin or
bonds bearing per cent interest on the
ground that it is only by giving it such OPP
ton that the Government could get coin
into circulation. He says: 1.-THE money
lender would take the bonds drawing per
cent interest every time, and our Govern
ment would have its vaults full of coin"
Just at present the money-lenders might
prefer the bonds. AT another time they
might prefer the coin. If a debt is made
payable in coin at specified time both par
ties to the contract know what to expect.
The debtor provides the money and the
creditor provides a use for it. If the
debtor may. at his option, pay one note
with another the creditor cannot know
which the debtor will do. The debtor would
be likely to pay notes with notes just at
the time when the creditor would prefer
the coin. When money was worth more
than the interest the bonds called for the
debtor would renew them; when it was
worth less the debtor would pay them. In
either case the creditor would be in such
doubt about the kind of payment the
debtor would make that his money would
have less value to him than if he knew that
he could have the coin if he wanted it. Mr..
Fairbanks also asks if our Government has
not lost more than one hundred millions by
fixing too late date for the payment of its
bonds. The answer is clearly in the mega
tive. If no time had been fixed the rate ofin-
terest would never have been reduced so low
that there would be a seeming loss in hav-
ing fixed a late date. Credit was establishe d
by prompt payment of interest and princi-
pal when they became due. We admit that
there is a seeming loss by fixing the date of
payment so far in the future, but this SEEM
ing loss is much more than balanced by the
reduction in interest in consequence of
prompt payments. Let us suppose, now, that
the Government had always retained the
right to pay one issue of bonds with an
other. Does any one suppose that under
such conditions the rate of interest on Gov
eminent securities would have fallen in
twenty years from to per cent? THE
CALL cOmprehends the method of doing
business by checks and credits. Paper of
this description is currency, but it promises
payment in something at some future speci-
fed time. Ii the something which these
checks and credits were made payable in was
a form of money convertible into actual
money only at the option of the debtor, the
whole credit system would be destroyed.
There would be no currency but coin, which
is the only real money known to the civil
lied world
