The Kite, in which the Iarty will

just about as unsuitable as Il vessel can

with all the sails a vessel of her size can

And so thus We find 1.-THE author
of the system with us in demanding
repeal. He saw the advantages to be
realized in their establishment, but he
was equally as clear and prompt for
closing them up when the time arrived
for this accomplishment.
The contest is still on. It must not
be neglected. However useful and
convenient they may have been. and
during which time they have been en-
abled to put millions in their Golfers
the time has come for change, when,
as Secretary Chase says. ''the law
should be repealed.
1t is true we must have q money cir
culating medium, but the time has
come when this can be fully supplied
by the government and without the
cost and expense which is required to
pay to the hanks. Silver and gold
coinage, with their equivalents in
treasury certificates and treasury notes,
will supply the public demand and
give lis every requisite which the situ-
alton calls for.
Thus the government may rise to the
requirements of the constitution ''to
coin money" and perform every other
duty pertaining thereto.

ject sought to be accomplished by the
expedition is the solution of the prob
lem whether Greenland is an island or
continent. "If it is a continent, and it
seems to me that the weight Of the evi
dence is that way" Lieut.. Peary con-
tinued, "the eexed question of the find
ing of the north pole will have been an
swered in the affirmative, for it will be
necessary, in order to reach the POLE,
only to penetrate further and further
into the frozen country along the line of
the western coast of Greenland. II it
shall be proven that Greenland Is con-
tinent, many lives of explorers who
might seek to reach the pole by sailing
north will be spared"
In some parts of Greenland, particu-
larly the north, the ice and snow. col

1t IS a milo thick in some places. As 1t

Bc Watchful and BE Wise.

The party bosses, who are cracking
the partisan lash over the people,
threatening political accommodation
and Haunting the bloody shirt, are
simply moving toward crisis little
expected. Their actions show that
they are not familiar with the history
nor spirit of the industrial classes.
Excessive taxation and the absorption
of the wealth of the country by priv
ileged class brought on that Tyler re-
bellion in England, which for years
secured to English farmers free land.
The reign of terror of the French
Revolution was inaugurated by the op-

The toughness and strength Of the
pony can scarcely be exaggerated. He
will live through a winter that will kill
the hardest cattle. He worries
through the long months when the
snow has covered up the bunch grass
on a diet of cottonwood boughs, which
the Indian cuts down for him; and in
the spring it takes but few weeks
for him to scour ont into splendid con-
dition. He can go unheard of dis
tances.
Colonel r. I. Dodge records an in
stance coming under his observation
where a pony carried the mails 800
miles in three consecutive nights, aud
back over the same road the next week,
and kept this up for six months with
out loss of condition. He can carry
any weight. Mr.. Parkman speaks of
a chief known as LIE Cochon, on ac-
count of his 300 pounds avoirdupois,
who nevertheless rode his ponies as
bravely as man of half his bulk. The
pony has often carried two people as
one. There is simply no end to this
wonderful product of the prairies. He
works many years. So long as he will
fatten up in the spring his age is i'm
material.
The absence of crest in the pony
suggests the curious query of what
has become of the proud arching neck
of his ancestors, the barb. There are
two ways of accounting for this. The
Indians gag bit, invariably applied
with jerk, throws up the pony's head
instead of bringing it down, as the
slow and light application of the school
curb will do. and this tends to develop
the eve neck. Or a more sufficient
reason may be found in the fact that
the starvation which the pony under
goes in the winter months tends to de-
plete him of every superfuous ounce
of flesh.-Bdltimor american.

NATIONAL BANKS MUST GO.

Secretary Chase said They Had Built Up
Monopoly That Affected Every Inter-
est in the Country.
The national banks have had their
day. Well enough and good enough
for the special emergency for which
they were created. The nation was in
great straits in the midst of great
war. Something mast be done, and
done at once. to meet the demand for
"more money" S. p. Chase, then sec
retary of the treasury,-corlipreh
the situation. The national bank
scheme and the greenback measure
were presented to him. He at once
adopted them. The rest is known,
and the treasury was relieved from all
further embarrassment.
But with the close of the war the
work of the national banks was done.
Still they kept on. Having realized
immense profits from their business
connections with the government, they
were 10th to sever the relation and go
back to regular legitimate banking
system. And having become en-
trenched in their position, they "held
the fort" and are now still at the front.
Secretary Chase, however, did not
approve of their continuance, know.
ing, as he. did, that their existence was
intended as temporary expedient.
And so, while he considered the prom
inent part he acted in establishing
them as thing to be proud of, he had
the consistency and the courage to de-
mand their discontinuance when their
legitimate work was over; and thus he
s&ys in letter:
MY agency in procuring the pass

the greatest financial act of my life.

(U. S. money furnished them at per
cent?.
They held 81, ,565, 900, 900 as deposits.
These deposits show about twice as
much money as there is in circulation
in the United States. They are made
up largely of notes given by depositors
to the banks and credited as money to
their accounts. The bank loans
amounted to 81 $50. 900, 900. Besides
this they had $2Ss, 100000 as re
serves.
Besides these there are 2,6lS private

The banks of the country have out

ceipted for as so much ready money,
over 1000 millions of dollars, or over
four dollars for every dollar in actual

par: of the circulation of the country,

lars for every one real dollar. Under
such circumstances, when the real dol
lars are wanted they cannot be had.
| All the business of the country is at
the mercy of a scare. A panic can be
whistled up at any time. The reason
! the banks so bitterly oppose any in

United States furnished the real money
