THE GOLD RESERVE.

1t is hardly the function of govern
ment to interfere IN the country'S money
markets, but the machinery we employ
for the transaction of the governments
business makes this necessary at times.
The revenues received from import du-
ties are not deposited III banks where
our merchants can use them, but are ac-
cumulated in the national sub-treas-
uries. When large sums are removed
in this way from circulation, artificial
means like bond purchases are needed
to get them out and ease the wheels of
trade. The business community has
gotten to rely on this of late. Fifty
one million dollars Of AZ per
cent bonds mature in September,
and under ordinary conditions the
government would have means for
their redemption. This was con-
fidently counted on until few weeks
ago, and was expected to provide the
fund needed for the moving of the
crops. A month ago Secretary FOSTER
suggested the refunding of the AZ per
cents at a lower rate, instead of their
purchase. Now it is announced that,
cabinet, they will not be refunded, but
paid off. 1t is not apparent where the
money Will come from for the purpose,
but this step is declared to be
demanded as a political, if not a
fiscal measure. In a public interview
Secretary FOSTER has stated that, if it
should prove desirable, he considered
himself at liberty to use the 500, 900
of reserve set apart as the basis of the
nations paper currency to meet the
governments expenses. Perhaps it is
from this source that he expects to
draw the money needed for the redemp-
ton of the AZ per cent bonds. The
paper currency in circulation amounts
to about S350,000,000, and its mainte-
nance at par has been achieved partly by
confidence in the governments solyency.
but largely by the existence of this
S100,000,000 reserve, which has been
held in trust to meet any pos
sible demand for its redemption.
The dissipation of this fund would
weaken beyond all calculation the
general sense of business security, and
yet it seems to be seriously coutem-
plated. Republican prodigality appears
to have driven the officers of the treas
ury to one of two alternatives. The
first is to postpone the payment of the
S51. 100000 of bonds which has been
counted on for September, and in this
way to run the lisk of inducing panic
through tight money at time of the
year when an easy market is most es-
sential; and the other is to infringe
on the gold reserve to avoid this, and
thus run the risk of inducing a panic
through the loss of popular confidence
in the governments ability to meet its
pledges. Here is the devil on one side
add the deep sea on the other. Noble
are the achievements of the billion-dol-

A DUBIOUS REFORM.

Should the governor not veto the bill,
Pennsylvania will add Que more to the
number of states that has accepted
some form of the Australian ballot re-
form. If it is killed by the governor, it
will be for the reason that it is so
vicious in some of its provisions as not
to be worth the expense and trouble of
putting it into operation. The Repub-
lIcan majority that enacted it was in
spired by Boss QUAY, and defeated the
attempts of the Democrats to secure the
secrecy that is the essential feature of
the Australian system. 1t allows the
voter to take another voter with him
into the booth, upon his mere intimation
to the judge that he has some unnamed
disability to prepare his ballot. He is not
to be Intercepted or sworn as to what
constitutes the Incapacity. This is an
easy phrase TO repeat, and it will admit
to the booth the man who has control
OF the voter. If he is a briber, it affords
him secrecy and protection for his
work. The employer who wishes to
control the votes of his men has the way
opened to him in this method, as the
dependent or mercenary voter will not
dare to refuse admission TO the deSig-
mated party. Still, the act may be bet
ter than none, and almost anything will
be an improvement on the practices in
that state. The governor is Democrat,
and an ardent friend of reform in cleo
ton methods, and will be likely to &C
cept the bill rather than please its franz
ers by veto. which would subject him
to false but plausible imputations of
insincerity in his professions.

BAD FOR BRIGGS.

The Presbyterian vote of 44O to SO
against DR.. Briggs is emphatic without
being discOuraging at least to Dr..
Briggs or those who side with him. No
One who has had the splendid advertise
ment, of which the vote is only a part,
has any reason to be satisfied with it
st. Louis Republic.
DR.. Briggs is too advanced for the
brethren of the Presbyterian church
and is told to take back seat. Will
DR.. Briggs how consent that the world
doesn't move? Or will he take up
quarters in another family that admits
the light of day through less closely
barred shutters?-Buffalo Times.
W AS far as DR.. Briggs is concerned, it
may have no great effect. The seE.-
mary can re-elect him at once, and he
may go on teaching until the next as
sembly; or he may retire until the trial
is over, and if acquitted may then be re-
elected and approved by the assembly.

p DR.. Briggs was bounced out of his
chair of professor of theology by the De-

against him was 40 to SO. The bounce
was so hard that 1t will make the doc

CONDITION OF THE TREASURY

Here are some figures which give i'm
portant information. The Democracy
surrendered control of the national ex-
chequer on the 4th day of March, 1889.
The semi-annual statement of the gov
ernments resources and liabilities is
sued on the 1st of the following July
showed a cash balance in the treasury
of S149. $50, 179. On the first Monday in
December. 1889, the Fifty-first congress
convened, with a Republican majority
in both branches. At the end of the
first five months of the fiscal year for
which it made appropriations, the cash
balance in the treasury had shrunk to
$50, 1927, $50, and at the end of the first
six months to S3S, 42S, SO5. At the two
sessions of the Flfty-frst congress ex-
penditures aggregating the enormous
sum of billion dollars were
authorized an amount never be-
fore dreamed of in the finan-
cial history of the country. The esti-
mated income with which those mag
nificent demands are to be met falls
short of the figure required by nearly
hundred million dollars. In the midst

A coon CRUSADE.

The antiquated rotten borough sys-
tenn in Connecticut has become such an
absurdlty, as population has conferred in
the towns, that crusade is being inau-
gurated for its overthrow. 1t was not
specially Objectionable century or two
ago, when there were no towns of large
population, but it is gross outrage
now. All the towns, except perhaps
some of the very small ones, have
uniform representation of two members
each. The five largest towns have
population of 246, FOG, with ten members
of the legislature, while five others with
3,195 population have also ten repre-
sentatives. New Haven, with S6,045
people, has no more lawmakers than
Union, with All population. This
is not representation of people, but
local corporations. That this is bur-
lesque on popular government is evil
dent, and it is wonder that it has not
led to rebellion, las a less fragrant system
of injustice did in Rhode Island. A
campaign for majority rule has been in
augurated by the Democrats, and should
never be relaxed until the relics of the
colonial eras give place to modern ideas.
1t will be apt to take time to effect this,
as the Republicans have pretty nearly
sure thing in the legislature now, re-
CARELESS of the popular vote, and will
not even allow Democrat to be gov
ernor after he has majority of the vote
as returned at the elections

edly represents large element among
the Roman Catholic clergy of America
who were born and educated in Europe.
They want to perpetuate European
traditions in America. That is why
they oppose the teaching of the
American language in the public schools.
mat is why they sustain an agency
at the Vatican to prevent the appoint

foreigners to American dioceSeS and to
secure the appointments of Germans,
Italians. Swiss, Frenchmen and Irish
men. They have succeeded, too.
Through the agency of a Bavarian car
dlnal and an Indiana bishop of German
birth the Western dioceSeS have for
years been kept under a foreign &C.
cleslaStical domination. Recently Arch
bishops Ireland and Riordan, both of
American birth, and Bishop Spalding,
of long American descent, have sue
ceeded in breaking down the domina-
ton OF the observation-disclosures agency at

trying to set it upin a most offensive
form. Rome is too wise or too willy to
do as Cahensley advises. The Roman
Catholic church in America would be
shattered by Schism.

A SAILOR AT A BALL.

They gave ball up town last night; had a
girl in tow,
And she was rugged right up in style, I'll
have you all to know:
She had brand-new suit of sails, from SOUP
per up to truck.
And held her eye right in the wind, as dainty
as duck.
Her dress was bent on to her arms with
bands in some queer way
And then twas cut down fore and aft which
means deeolytay.
They. must have got the thing too long-you
never saw such gear;
1t had a dozen reefs in front, and vet 1t
wasn't clear;
She had it guyed up in the ways-it hung off
in her wake,
And rose and fell just like a swell without
sign of break.
She had fan made fast around her dainty
little waist;
Twas made of figured satin, and in all re-
spects was chaste;
But when l swung that girl around, the gear,
as l could see,
Was not clewed up as shipshape as such
stuff like that should be,
And, if I'd been less careful with that silk
and satin dress,
Her halliards might have parted, and there'd
been pretty mess.
