FINANCIAL QUERIES.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In last weeks issue you say: We
cann)t 'abear' the fat greenbackers.
We do not like to pen a sentence which
seems to countenance the heresy that
irredeemable greenbacks or treasury
notes can by law be made to serve the
same purposes as the precious metals,
gold and silver
Does the Dispatch ailude in the above
to the present issue of greenbacks? It
certainly applies to them. The Dis
patch is in favor of the national banks;
is it opposed to greenback money!
Greenbacks are "irredeemable," and
are made by law to serve the same
purposes as the precious metals" and
do serve the same purposes with two
exceptions: import duties and interest
on the public debt. Arethey fTtmOneY
in the meaning of the Disp0tcb2 They
are certainly as good as gold and silver,
Notwithstanding they are "irredeem-
able" and are made money by law.
Does the Dispatch believe that if the
government should issue t1rO billions
eff greenbacks, made receivable for all
d1e9 public and private, they would
not be as good as gold and silver while
the annual taxes levied by the govern
ment amount to one fourth that sum?
Does not the Dispatch kROlU that the
chief value of gold and silver is ectrin.

ALGIERs, Jan, TIT would seem
that unless miracle happens or the
weather changes radically within
very short time. the inhabitants Of Sch
don, small town in the Tlemcen dis
trict of the Province of Oran, will starye
to death. About a week ago informa-
tion reached the city of Tlemcen to the
effect that the Inhabitants of Seldom
we're showed up from escape, and that
they were slowly starving to death.
Their stocks Of provisions had run out
before the bearer of the alarming news
reached Tlemcen, and it was said that
the horses, mules and even the few
camels at Seldom were being killed
for food. AS in the majority Of
small Algerine towns, the inhabit-
tirely upon the regular or irregular con-
Voys of provisions which reach them
from the larger towns, and the stock
kept on hand is always comparatively
small. When the news of the danger
Gus position In which the inhabitants Of
Seldom were placed reached the
military authorities of Tlemcen
they Immediately sent guam
tity of provisions under the escort of a
detachment of troops from the garrison
of Tlemcen to the relief of the sufferers
at SebdOn. UnhappilY the convoy day
or so later, was showed up in the Tai
terney pass, and it was some time be-
fore the authorities at Tlemcen became
aware of the danger to which the con-
voy was exposed.

northern sections of the country is al
ready five feet deep in many places.
NAPLES, Jan. 17.-The snow storm
which commenced Yesterday has lasted
all night. The storm is an unprecedent-
ed one. Traffic in the streets has en-
tirely ceased. The telegraph Wires-are
working badly, and there is considera-
bic delay along the railroads.
ROME, Jan. II. The snow has recon-

traffic of ali kinds in those cities and
the surrounding regions has been
brought to complete standstill. In the
department of D0rdOgne all the rivers
are frozen over and wolves are ravaging
the sheep pens. The village of .Pontar-
lie and the farms about it are completely
isolated, all communication being cut
off by the heavy SHOWS. Several deaths
by freezing are reported from the de-
partment of Cher.

FORCE BILL SOUTH.
A Scheme to Obtain an Expression
of Opinion.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Jan. lit has
been quietly around among politicians
recently that an effort was being made
to get all expression on the force bill
from leading Republicans in the South
ern states. The scheme was to hold a
meeting of the chairman of the Repub-
lican committees of the Southern states.
These were to take favorable action on
an election bill, and appoint COM
mttee to go to the national capt.
tai to work for its passage through
congress. Capt. Baker, chairman of the
Tennessee Republican executive COM
mittee. was approached to-day. He
said he had received letter from an
old Republican friend in Florida, stat
ing that SUI ch movement was TN foot,
and that he wrote at the request of Mr..
Egan. chairman OF the Republican state
committee of Florida. Capt. Baker re-
fused to state the reasons assigned in
his letter to his Florida friend for OPP
posing the force bill. but admitted that
he had written letter giving those rea-
SONS in full. This was about Nov. l,
and as he has heard nothing further on
the subject. he supp0ses the project
has been abandoned.

She Had Been Regent, and Was

Inferred With Great Ceremony.
The funeral of the late Queen Dow
ager and regent of Corea appears to
have been celebrated with great pomp
and ceremony. Five months were con-
sumed in preparations, and from the
day of the ihterment every Corean eiti-
zen is bound to exchange his black hat
for white one for the space of three
years. He must also wear white shoes
and avoid parti-colored clothing. "Di-
viner" were employed to select suitable
spot for the royal grave. The process
SION was heralded by thirteen sedan
chairs hung with silk drapery, and each
borne on the shoulders of twelve men.
In these were supposed to be the his
torians who will write the biography of
the deceased. Gorgeous banners fol-

great trade guilds. Soldiers bearing
brushwoOd torches lined the streets,
ana horsemen with hideous masks; sup

the dead from evil spirits. joined in the
procession. which was heaaed by
a general mounted on a splendid
charger and surrounded by liv-

custom there were two eatafalQueS, de-

parties concur in their opinion of the
worthineSS of the CentriSt leader. Snow
has again fallenin East Prussia, South
Germany and AuStria-Hungary. The
severity of the frost and the Wilderness
OF the area affected are greater than
ever before chrOHicled.
Railroad Traffic
is greatly delayed. Over one thousand
men are engaged in clearing the streets
of Berlin. The tramway companies in
Vienna employ 1900 men to clear their
tracks. The Austrian railways are
partly blocked. Large stocks of pro-
visions are snow-bound, and the prices
of food have consequently advanced.
Reports from Vienna say that railroad
communication with Temesvav, in
Hungary, has been stopped owing to
the great depth of the snow to the
northward of that place. The ports of
Lubbock and Rostock are again closed
by the ice, and Kiel is shut in by drift
ice. AT Hamburg the cold has become
more intense, and the river is full of
drift ice, which is greatly increasing the
difficulty Of navigation. Bremerhaven
is in fair way. There is much drift
ice there, but presents no obstacle to
navigation. The German consul at
Canea, Crete, has sent Geographic
message here announcing the conyic-
ton to-day of four men who had been
arrested for the murder and robbery
of a German naturalist named DR..
Reinsch, who had been making a scien-
tific tour of Crete. The leader of the
gang was Sentenced to death. the others
received long terms ofimprisoment. III.
VIM. Liebknecht, the socialist editor,
at largely attended conference of

the creation of workingmen's acade-

study. The meeting approved of the
scheme and confided the matter to a
committee composed of socialist MEN,
