United States Fish Commissioner, has
made some experimental dredglngs In Mob

is one barren waste where once valuable
natural beds could be found. and this fact
is solely due to the reckless manner IN
which these beds have been worked.

Found While Flowing on Farm In nelson
County-A Curiosity.
Major j. 4. Ewers. Of the Watkins Hard
ware Company. has farm in Nelson coun-
ty. some thirty-fve miles from Lynchburg
upon which there was q tract Of forest land
that was being cleared Off the trees being
according 10 the best belief hundreds OF
years old and among them were certain
well-defned heaps, or mounds. supposed TO
be of Indian origin. His son. in going over
the ground after its blowing was completed.
noticed one of these mounds. and, fuil OF
curiosity, dug into it for some feet. finding
a knife. about fourteen inches long, OK
an exceedingly Anticipated pattern, with
buckhorn handle and band-forged blade
worn down TO about the width Of three
quarters of an inch. but after all the years
it must have lain there, stout and we'll
preserved.
The consensus Of tradition and supposi-
ton of the neighbors is that the knife be-
longed to a frontiersman during the days OF
the Colonies, aud was most probably stolen
by the Indians aud buried there BY them, as
was frequently the case in their ceremonies.
IL is now in possession Of Major Ewers: al
the Hotel Dodson. this city. Young Mr..
Ewers is pursuing his search in hopes OF
finding more relics through the mounds.

THE NtosT DrLIGHTFUL.

Next Sundays issue of TIE TISHB will
probably be one of the most delightful pa
pers ever issued from any newspaper Office
In the South.
II will have its usual complement OF news,
special articles on literary, religious and
social topics and besides contain number
of profusely illustrated articles of more
than ordinary interest. One of these will
be The Last Stand in the Retreat Of the
Moor" la this will be given pen pictures
of the old city of Tangier. where civiliza-
tion has been at stand-still ever since the
dark ages Incidentally will be shown that
among the very polite methods existing
there that Of extorting riches from the
wealthy makes il undesirable TO be pros
porous under the rule of Sultan. The ar
ticle is an infdel sksptic's view of Euro
pean civilization, and he believes and ar
CUES that the cross can never wave in that
country above the crescent. It's reading
cannot fail TO prove entertaining and in
structive at once
Another very clever and illustrated article
will be a startling bit of news about Francois
and Meunier, Partisan Anarchists and
friends of Ravachol. who are expected in
America any day. These are the men who
blew up the Cafe Very in Paris, fooled the
police and are now on their way to America
in a sailing vessel closely pursued.
American citizens are frequently titled
and decorated. Royal favors TO our
country are almost unknown in Eng
land. but they are not uncom-
mon in France and Germany. A care
fully prepared article in Sundays TIMES
will tell how Banker Eugene Kelly was
nominated as a "Carnerier de Cape ct
d'Epee" by the Pope, and also how special
honors have been declined by Cyrus w.
Field and Superintendent Byrnes.
The music and words of a very pretty
song will also be published in next Sundays

In opposition to the plank Ia the platform
~ the National Democratic party adopted
a, Chicago which demands repeal OF the
act of Congress imposing tax upon the
issues of State Banks; and we are sorry and 1t
il surprising, too, TO find the Dispatch fight
inc the platform Of the Democratic party.
The Dispatch argues as foiiowsI
sunnose the National Banks are abolish.
al and a Richmond man wants 70 20 TO
DEACON. He would have to pay discount
unon his Virginia money or buy IN New
yoyk currency that would circulate IN
Oregon.
Now we call our neighbor's attention TO
the facts that there is no proposition in the
Democratic platform to abolish National
Ranks. and that our currency, CON- coin cer-
ti6cates greenbacks and National BANK
notes consists of q. 900 100000, and that OF
this great sum only something like $780,
600 900 is National Bank notes. Inc hs-
t;onaI Banks as banks Of issue have had
their day and are dying as currency lssuers
Of inanition. SO that the Richmond man
going 70 Oregon would present his State
Rank notes At the proper place and demand
pavment in legal tender or such other cur
rencv as would suit him for his trip to Oregon
and be would carry very few II any Ma
tiopal Bank notes. He would carry some
other form of the national currency.
Now those who advocate allowing the
State Banks to issue currency have no idea
Of abridging the present amount OF the
THAI 70 leaVn
IL lust as it is and to allow the National
Banks TO continue 10 issue just as mucn
currency az they choose TO issue. Tho
Richmond man going TO Oregon under
svstem that permitted State Banks TO issue
currency would. therefore, have exactly the
same amount of national currency to sup
pIv himself from that he has now and ID
going 10 Oregon would take only such cur
rency as would pass there, and would leave
~ homo the issue Of our local Banks for
home use and this very fact Is one OF the
GREAT benefits which we have contended
wonld be derived from allowing State Banks
70 issue notes. The only change that would
take place would be this: Whereas the
traveller has only S1.6OO.OOO.OOO Of currency
now before him be would then have that
same 81 600, OOO 900 plus the currency that
the State Banks would put out.
There is really no such thing as money OF
worldwide currency Gold and silver have
a worldwide value and are exchanged by
veioht at their market value in interna-
tiopal settlements. But bullion is not
money; it is only proper subject for the
coming Of money. As the element OF credit
In money matters increases IN importance
the room for currency Of local value and
acceptability grows.
This convenience is as distinct from ma
tional issues Of notes as the national notes
aud coins are distinct from and independent
of international transactions.
Hence We insist upon the right to have
State Banks of issue, and 30 applaud and
sustain the plank IN the Democratic plat
form which demands the repeal of the ten
per cent. tax now laid by the Government
of the United States upon the issue of notes
! by a State Bank.
