against the other. But in rural districts
there are no, or but few. mutual credits
for interchange. These. therefore. to ope-
rate their business transactions. must
have either actual money, or subsu-
tute for money that will perform It's
functions There Is not money enough
for all OF them to have the quantity they
need. and. II there WERE many would be
unable TO obtain as much as was needed.
But experience has shown us that
currency substitute for money may be
made to answer perfectly for IT. II the
rich men of character In a neighborhood
are permitted 10 put out their circulating
promises TO pay money on demand, the
people far and near, who know the men,
will take these promises and pass them
from hand to hand just as though they
were actually the money that they prom
ised TO pay. In this way currency Is
given TO them and they are established
as a circulating mcdium-a substitute
for moncy-in that neighborhood, and, as
they perform their part to perfection in

it, When, therefore, they stray away
from it. they have got out OF their Gle
ment into one that they were not design
ed for anu are not suited TO. 1t is greatly
to be desired therefore, that they should
at once be sent back 10 the people who
want them and can use them probably,
rather than that they should attempt TO
establish themselves in the homes of
people who know nothing about them
and don't want them.
We hope the Dispatch will now see the
sense in which we speak Of a neighbor-
hood currency being improved by being
at a discount away from home. It's use
is for the neighborhood, and not for the
world, and Is there anything in the propo-
sitlon that It is best that this currency
should be made TO connne Itself to the
region Of country where It performs
useful part. that tends to prove that 1t
would be the best currency for other re-
gions, where It could not perform use
ful part? 1t is the currency needed in
that neighborhood, but 1t is not currency
either, good or bad, in any other neigh
borhood.

THEIR FArHER's CHRISTKAS.
Jack Andrews Children Beg for His Re.
lease Before the Holidays.

Governor Mckinney yesterday received
the following letter:
To the Governor of Virginia:
Dear Strive, the children OF our
father, would most earnestly desire that
you will let him spend Christmas with
us at home, as it will be the first Christ
mas we ever remembered without him,
that is, If you refuse our petition.
Respectfully,
Emmett, Frank, Lizzie and Lewis An
drews.
The senders Of the letter are the chill
dren of Jack Andrews, who IS at present
serving out term in jail for committing
an assault upon Police Justice Crutchheld.
The Governor sent the following reply:
Ny Dear Children.-I was very greatly
touched by the petition presented by you,
asking the pardon and release Of your
father in order that he might spend the
Christmas holidays at his home and
with you. and il is with deep regret that
l feel constrained in the performance Of
my official duty 10 deny your request.
/ truly hope that your father may soon
be restored TO his home and 10 you, and
that the family circle may never again be
broken by causes wholly within his con-
troll. l am. with great affection, your
friend =. w. MCKINNEY, Governor.

The reception toilet in the picture IS
of heliotrope cheviot, with pluche-mara-
bout and a velvet bodice. The jacket
has a Vatican pleat at the back, which
Is fastened under the stif collar, and
hangs Independently from the rest or the
waist. Under these folds the back fits
tightly. The waist is made separately
and fastened to the waistband, the ma
terial only extending TO where 1t meets
the belt, which Is made on stin lining,
and is ornamented each side with a her
ring-bOning. and Is closed at the back
under the Vatican pleat with hooks and
eyes Instead Of breast darts, the bodice
has folds, and closes in the centre under
the full front. a plastrOn OF ecru lace is
drawn IN at the neck I'm folds, and car
ried on 10 the waist The skirt Of the
waist is trimmed with marabout edsing.
which is made Of fuffed silk threads. and
looks very much like plush. The Wat
teau pleat can be removed altogether
and the dress worn without II. The SKIRT
is cut bias, with a train and is also
trimmed with marabout II is lined with
silk. and has Il large bala3 euse sewn in
side.
Look about you on the streets or IN the
stores. and yol will make up yo n minds
rs I 10, that silk pettic'ats have by no
means come to an end Of their posi-
bilities in the way of frivolity and tanci-
fuiness. They are now made Of silk in
every respect the same as may be used
for dresses I saw one for instance, OF
pale blue striped with narrow stripes set
wide apart Of alternate cherry and bright
green. At the bottom Of this skirt, which
was only long enough TO reach the ankles,
were two pinked ruffles, one overlapping
the heading Of the other. The top ruffle
was green silk the under one cherry, both
matching the stripes. Both ruffles were
very full. and were covered each by a
rufiie Of fine black lace put on very
full. The whole was as fluffy and crisp
as you could fancy. and won't those two
rufiles make the edge Of the skirt worn
over them "set out" as nothing else
would? TLORETTE TEMPUS.

THE ANTI-OPTION BILL.

Senator Gordon, Of Georgia is quoted as
saying that he shall vote for The Anti
Option bill III it reaches a vote in the
Senate, in Difference to the wishes Of the
Legislature and the farmers Of Georgia"
although he has serious doubts OF its
effect upon the cotton planters"
Senator Gordon would do much better
to yield to his Serious doubts" and vote
against the bill than to allow a senseless
clamor to drive him into doing a foolish
thing The "Anti-Option" bill is another
Of those attempts which legislators are
constantly making to control by legisla-
tive enactment the fixed and immutable
laws Of nature.
Prices for future delivery Of farm pro-
ducts are controlled, like prices Of every
thing else, by the inexorable laws Of sup
ply and demand. and IT is The vainest Of
foolish human efforts for the maker
Of human laws to think that he can inter
fere with the silent but overwhelming
operation Of this natural law by any Of
his petty statutes The present price of
corn on the first day Of next September
will be fixed and determined by the opin-
ion of those dealing in corn upon the
question. what supply Of corn will there
be next September, and what demand for
corn will exist next September. Human
laws cannot prevent men exercising their
judgment on these two questions, nor can
such prevent men from taking chances of
making money by selling or buying corn
to be delivered next September The law
simply puts obstacles in the way Of deal
ing in corn. but those who make a bust
ness of this ut once set themselves to
work to arrange methods for circumvsnt-
ing the law, which has always heretofore
been DONE and will always hereafter be
done. The legislative acts do nothing but
put hindrances in the way OF legitimate
business, and make occasions for lille
climate speculations through bucket
shops and such like.
The popular error that sales Of produce
for future delivery must depress prices
as making a class 0he sellers interested
to put them down, is remarkable in the
extended influence it exercises over men.
They wholly ignore the fact that where
ever there is a seller there must be a
buyer and If the seller becomes interested
to depress the prices, the buyer has be-
come interested to enhance it, and that
the influence of the one must neutralize
that Of the other, leaving the law of sup
ply and demand to adjust the price

The story of the plan to POISON non
union men at Homestead has been re-
vived by the death OF another OF the
victims. One j. NJ. Davidson, a union
man, has also testified that he was pre-
sent at a meeting Of Knights Of Labor
and others, whore the plan was concocted
10 make the men sick-not 10 kill them.
The powders, it is alleged. were used
but the men were refused their pay. and
because Of this refusal informed the au-
thoritles. A Pinker;on detective testifies
that he overheard a conversation in which
the matter was discussed by the two
men engaged to do the poisoning and one
other man. There was also testimony
about sickness occurring in Homestead.
The circumstances surrounding these
poisoning cases are exceedingly black for
the suspected prisoners. and II looks very
much as il something was rotten in Den
mark.
