CONFUSION ON THE CURRENCY,

The discussion on coinage and currency
questions leads even the advocates of sound
system into some remarkable assertions.
An example is presented by the esteemed
Philadelphia Ledger, in an article on the
effect of deprecated currehcy on the peo-
pie of Kansas, as follows:
Cheaper money would certainly put up the
price of things Kansas has to buy. But the
prices of products which Kansas has to sell are
to a great extent fixed in foreign markets be.
cause this country has an immense surplus for
export The market value of these products
being known at Liverpool, expressed in the
best money used many country, the amount is
then known which anybody can afford to nav
in the same money at New York or Chicago.
Cheaper money here would not make these
products worth more by single cent in Liver
pool, and consequently not more at New York
or Chicago unless in a deprecated currency.
Kansas would, therefore, pay more real money
for things purchased, but would get not a cent
more real money for things sold.
Here we have a deliberate formation of
the idea that the effect of depreciating the
measure of values would be to make the
people of Kansas pay more for what they
have to buy while it would not bring them
more for what they have to sell. The sup
port of this thesis leads our esteemed and
generally accurate cotemporary into the as
sertion that while the translation of a given
will increase the nominal amount, the re-
verse of the operation will not produce the
reversed result, which is self-contradictory

FOR AND AGAINST GAMBLING.

Coincident with the news that an English
syndicate was attempting to break the bank
at Monte Carlo, came word that the Chris
betting crusade. Both have undertaken big
contracts, though the latter is the more laud-
able one. Any success of the syndicate can
only be temporary, as there is always plenty
OF money ready to back the game at Monaco,
and the syndicate if it perseyere will in the
end meet the fate of the individual gambler
who has system. The successes already
won cannot fail TO have bad effect, as many
will be tempted to risk their money in the
hope that they too can do as WELL 1t is
knowledge of human frailty in this matter
that leads the authorities of Monte Carlo to
allow the publication of the sums won by
the syndicate. But the dupes will be blind
to this, and will struggle to get at the tables
on which to throw away their gold.
The endeavor of the Christian youth OF
London to stop betting will hardly have
much perceptible effect at first, though in
time their efforts may be rewarded with a
modicum OF success. The only fault to be
found with their society is that it has gone
to work among the lower classes and has
been afraid to commence where the gambling
evil in England is at its worst. An attack
on the high society of London might, how
ever, be looked upon as an impertinence,
and no we'll regulated Englishman would be
guilty of such a crime to his hereditary
rulers. This view Of the matter may make
some people think that the members of the
aristocracy have right to do as they please,
while the lower classes are always proper
subjects for reform. As this is exactly the
opinion held by the English aristocracy,
there may not be much satisfaction in point
ing out its .absurdity. Some time this opinion
may change, and the endeavors to stop
gambling among the lower classes NAV be
the means to that end. The poor will
naturally wonder at the teaching which
makes their sin legitimate pleasure for
others. Then the popular verdict will be
that gambling by both classes must cease
and in that way the efforts of the Christian
youth be finally successful.

The Trustees of the Western University
meet to-day to choose a Chancellor. 1t will
occur to a great many people that the time is
auspicious for making vigorous start in the
good work of giving the University that rank
among the educational institutions of the land
which the population and resources Of the vast
community in and around Pittsburg warrant.
Among the names which it is understood have
been more less favorably considered is thar
of DR.. Holland, of Bellefeld; and certainly
should he be chosen it will be good omen for
the University's future. Combining with expe-
rience as teacher the qualifications and repura-
tion of scientific investigator, the enthusiasm
of youth and a thorough knowledge of the
community and its environment, the new ambi-
tion and energy Of such head as DR.. Holland
would invest the University with fresh inter-
est for the public. That such considerations
are worth taking into account is sufficiently
shown by the opportunities which exist here
for University in fact as well as in name.

GLARE OF THE F0OTLlGHTS.

The Bridge Scene Attracts Attention at
the Bijou-Minnie Palmer and Her
Locomotive at the Duquesne-The
Light Fantastic at the Grand.
The drawbridge scene in Money Mad'' is a
. clever bit of mechanical work. The bridge is
swung diagonally across the stage. and really
appears what it is supposed to be. 1t swings
toward the audience to let large steamer pass,
anc is then turned the other way to allow boat
to 60 MP stream. Incidentally. man is thrown
into the water, and another jumps in to save
him. But the drawbridge is the main feature
of the act-and. indeed, Of the whole play.
"Money Mad" is dsjointed affair in which
there are number of characters and more in
cidents than are usually crowded into even
melodrama. There is some sort of story but
it is so disguised in the irrelevant events aud
dialogue that bubble up in every act that one
is likely to lose sight Of the main narrative.
However, it is all interesting enough as far as
melodrama goes, and the howls of the audience
last night was proof that it pleased them. Even
the doubtful taste of negro woman offering
long prayer that came dangerously near
burlesQue of a most sacred act, only called
forth applause. The people seemed to like it,
and if they discerned any improperly in it,
did not give any outward expression OF dis
approval.

but it pleases the people, and that is the main

The Fifth Avenue Museum.

The throngs that visited Harry Davis Fifth

phenomenal. Not only was the amusement
hall crowded. but the street was blocked with
a crowd, so much so, in fact, that
it was necessary for a special police
man to keep the crowd moving. to
keep passage open on the thoroughfare.
The other attractions. however, proved none
the less interesting. The convention of midgets,
gathered from every State and cline, elected
no little attention from the public.

Grand Opera House.

Ullie Akerstrom made her first appearance
in this city last night at the Opera House in a
four-act comedy drama, annette, the Dane
ing Girl" and established herself at once as a
prime favorite with the goodly audience which
assembled to welcome her by her extremely
natural clever and winsome imPersonatIon of
the leading role.
The plot of the play turns on the fortunes of
child who is stolen from the house of her
wealthy parents in Havana and brought to
New Orleans. She seeks a livelihood as a
street singer and dancer, and finally through
the friendly aid of an old negro Pete, flies from
the dangers with which she is threatened, and,
reaching Havana, is restored TO her parents.

robbed at New Orleans by Dandy Dick, who
assumed his name and passed himself off to

upset the scheme of the villain and renew an

leans.
Miss Akerstrom as Annette made an instant
impression on the audience by the thoroug hly
natural manner in which she represented the
untutored youug girl. In the second scene,
laid on board ship, she is disguised as boy,
and no youngseer before the mast could have
comported himself more to his surroundings
than cid the fair young sailor boy. The quar-

recited "Toot Your Horn if You Don't Sell q

before the audience was satisfied. She also in

OPINIONS ON JUDGE LYNCH

The massacre at New Orleans is seized
upon by the foreign press as text for
scornful comment upon American pretense
Of sound and safe government, of liberty
aad protection to the citizen intermingled.
The worst of it is there would be basis of
truth for these comments if the opinion of
the whole country were to be formed on
what has happened at New Orleans. More
terrible and tar more menacing than the
massacre itself is the condition of affairs
which has been publicly set up in New
Orleans as the sole excuse for the lynching.
The leaders of the mob, the newspapers of
the town, and the mercantile and industrial
exchanges unite in asserting that the courts
Of Justice were corrupted, ,ald that this was no
phenomenon OF day, no casual happening,
but something which mad naturally grown
out Q! conditions long pre-existiug. The
question arises, what is the state of the COM
munitY which permits such conditions to
exist. and must relapse into mob law for
remedy? Certainly the sort of seli-govern-
ment which so results is not calculated to
win respect But, happily, what has hap
pened at New Orleans is not typical either
of the conditions or public temper in many
other cities.
There is of course a fallacy in the at
tempted excuse for the Iynching If the
courts were corrupt, if the jurYmen were be-
lieved to have accepted bribes. there might
have been some sort of rude logic in hanging
the guilty jurors for their offense against the
State, which was as far-reaching in its evil
consequences as that for which the Italians
were indicted. To shoot down six of these
latter who had been acquitted by the States
own tribunal, and three others who had not
vet been tried, while the jury and the agents
of the alleged bribery were allowed to go
unmolested, was doubtless the easiest way
for the mob to assert itself, but it was far
from the most radical or courageous. As
long as it is only the acquitted defendants
who are hung or shot. the curative influence
upon corrupt jurors will be very slight in
deed.
The affair in New Orleans will bear a
