The Currency Question.

A half dozen or more bills have been In :
troduced into congress TO restore state bank
notes to circulation. 1t is not probable that
anything will be done with them at this
session. At the next session. however, a
bill taking the tax off state bank circula-
tion will be passed very soon after con-
gress meets, but it looks very much as if
the states would not be permitted to say
what kind OF security shall be the basis
for their bank circulation.
The banking bill that has attracted the
most attention thus far is that of R sprssen-
tative Harter, Of Ohio. He has the reputa-
ton of being pretty WE'LL Informed on finan-
cial subjects. His bill provides for the per-
petustion Of the national banking system
and for the issuance Of state bank notes
1t aims to make all bank note circu-
lation flexible and redeemable In gold or
its equivalent. It imposes a tax OF one
fifth of per cent. upon national bank cir
culation up to 90 per cent. Of the paid in
capital, and takes all tax off state bank cir.
culation. provided it is secured in the same
manner and 20 the same extent as national
bank notes.
The national bank notes are about the
best in the world. People aocspt them
with entire confidence. because they kno W
that it is Of no consequence whether the
bank that issued them is broken or not.
They will not willingly consent to a state
bank system that does not make state ban k
notes as acceptable as national bank notes.
The removal of the tax on state bank cir
culation will have the effect doubtless of
lessening the demand for the free coinage OF
silver; but there is no use Of talking about
the free coinage of silver for at least four
years. Mr.. Cleveland is against it unless
an international agreement with regard to
it is reached, and he is right.

Those republicans who have been tremb-
ling in their shoes for fear that Henry VII
lard, the railroad magnate, would be one Of
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet ministers, may calm
themselves; Mr.. Willard says he does not de-
sire cabinet position. The only reason
the aforesaid republicans had for thinking
he wanted a portfolio was that he gave
money and personal efforts to the further
ance OF Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy. When
a rich republican does anything like that
for his party's candidate it means that he
expects something back for it-a tavoring
clause in tariff bill, portfolio, a foreign
mission or something of the kind-so it was
very natural that the republicans should
measure Mr.. Wizards patriotism by their
own yardstick.

Whenever the rulers of either Of the gov
ernments OF Europe makes a speech to his
legislative body, or at a banquet, or makes
other public utterance. he invariably ex-
presses the hope that the peace Of Europe
may continue. AT the same time each and
every one of them is preparing for the most
stupendous war in the history OF the world.
The extent to which this preparation has
gone on during the post twenty-five years
is strikingly shown in a pamphlet recently
issued under the auspices of the French mil
itary school at st. Cyr. 1t appears that in
1870 the powers Of Europe could, at utmost,
PIT 1000, 900 men in active service. OF these
powers the French government had the
largest army, which consisted Of 1880, 900
men. To-day the French army has grown
TO 2, 500, 600 men, and the fighting force of
Europe to 12,500,OOO. which costs the sew
eral governments annually total Of about
81, 600, 900 900. These figures. how
ever, do not give q correct idea Of what
the exact situation is, for when the pending
military bills become laws and go into
effect the result will be an increase Of armed
forces for the whole of Europe TO about "a
600. 900 troops, 100000 more than were
available-two twenty years ago.

Undoing What Has Been Done.

1t will take much of the time Of
this legislature to undo what the
previous Legislatures did. The last
legislature assembled with the idea
that its mission was to regulate things. Its
idea seemed to be that some people were
getting more than their share of money.
aud that they should be prevented from
doing so. Therefore it passed bills without
knowing what their effect would be. or
without trying TO find out whether they
would do good or harm. One of the bills
it passed was the Twitty bill, which, it Is
now agreed, is an "impolltic" measure. and
another passed by a previous legislature
placed the control of the telegraph COM
panies in the hands of the railroad oom-
mission.
This legislature will likely repeal the
Twitty bill, and the railroad commission
tells it that it had better modify the tele-
graph bill. The commission has found out
that the bill is damaging to the interests of
the people, because the telegraph companies,
rather than risk mourning the penalties for
which the act provides, have closed their
offices at great many places. The people,
deprived OF telegraph facilities, are olamor-
ing against the law. Thus IL seems that the
effort to compel the telegraph companies to
give something for little or nothing is
failure.
And this legislature has a good deal of
the same spirit which characterized the last
one. 1t is just now engaged In considering
measures for regulating the railroads. It
seems to think the railroads are not regulated
enough. If it passes the bills It has on hand
1t will put a stop to all railroad building in
the state and keep the roads now in financial
trouble inithe hands of receivers for years.
Under the guise of making railroad stocks
worth something 1t will destroy what little
value they have. While the press and pro-
gressive people Of the state are doing all
they can to get capital to come 60 the state
the legislature is uuintentionally doing its
level best to driveit away.
