COLONEL OATES, the fiery Alabama
Representative, who wants to muzzle the
newspapers, has introduced q bill MAX
ing 1t a misdemeanor, with severe pen
atty attached, for q conductor of any
street car or other public conveyance in
the District of Columbia to allow his
vehicle to become SO crowded that any
passenger in it cannot be seated. Oates
is a crank, but he has CLEANS of sound
intelligence, and this measure is a proof.
If the proposed law could be made to

IT is estimated that iife-insurance
policies il this country aggregated
$4,000. 0Oo, 900 at the close of 1890. Not
q small part of the cost has been paid.
They are not held largely by million
aires. but by prudent people who have
made sacrifices to keep their premiums
paid. Still, there is an element in the
country who would change the basis of
money to silver and thus deprive hun
dreds of thousands of such policy-hold-
ers of ct least 90 per cent. of their value.

AT this distance from Memphis it seems q
little queer that Miss Mitchell, the muir
derer of Freda Ward. whose defense is to
be insanity. should be allowed to remain
in the same room In the Jail with Miss
Johnson. If the Mitchell girl is really in
sane her mania may take o homicidal turn
again. and Miss johnson be the victim. If
the plea is merely q pretense 1t would. at
least. be good policy for the attorneys to
assume that she is still dangerous.

Hon. CARL SCHURZ has recently had
a novel experience in being elected an
honorary member of a German society
in Chicago without his knowledge, and
being subsequently expelled without
reasonable cause. He was voted in by
the conservative element. who admired
him for his ability and learning, and a
short time afterwards was voted out by
the ~socialistic element. who denounced
him because, when he revisited Ger
many, he hobnobbed with Bismarck and
Kaiser William. Mr.. Schurz is a versa
tile man, but he could hardly expect to
please two such opposing elements.

In two messages President Harrison
has urged upon Congress the urgent
necessity of legislation which would re-
quire the managers Of interstate rail-
roads to adopt automatic couplers. and
several leading public men have Sec
onded his suggestion. Last Sunday
nearly two thousand representative
employees of the railroads Of North
America assembled in the Academy of
Music, in New York, discussed the SUBJ
ject. and adopted the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved. That the railroad employees
ask To have passed some law that will lessen
this fearful list by requiring that all rail-
roads shall equip freight cars with auto
matte couplers and power brakes.
This is important, for the reason that
it has been given ont that railroad en-
ployes care very little about the pro-
posed requirement and that many of the
most experienced brakemen are opposed
to the automatic coupler because they
have become SO expert with the present
method that it gives them an advantage
over new men, while the danger deterS

DIRECTOR LEIGH, of the Mint Bureau,
was examined by the House committee
on coinage yesterday in regard to the
silver question. To the question wheth-
er in his judgment there was any lack
of a circulating medium in the country
he replied: "No;\the New York banks
hold $4,000. 900 of Idle money over and
above their reserves" He also stated
that the amount of currency in circula-
ton in the United States is S24.10 per
capita, being larger than that of any
other country except France. These
statements of the mint director are un-
doubtedly correct. On Saturday last the
banks of New York reported reserves
of S113, 1872, 600 in specie and $780,
206,s 800 in legal tenders, making a total
OF S163, 1893, 400 against a similar total of
SIPS, 704. 800 a year ago, and of S121, $685.
GOO the first Saturday of February, 1890.
The amount o in the banks exceeds
that of any reserve ever held by them
in the whole course of their history,
showing that there is really a elut of
money. With over S163. 000,0 900 of idle
currency piledup in the New York banks
and with money going a-begging at
less than 2 per cent. per annum on call
and 4 per cent. and less on time, it is
absurd to talk about there being need
of an increase of currency.

REPRESENTATIVE HARTER, of Ohio, a
Democrat who is opposed to free silver
coinage, says:
1t is now pretty fully realized that the
passage of a free and unlimited coinage bill
W i'll split the Democratic party hopelessly.
The Germans and the Eastern and Middle
States and the Central States having largo
cities in them will be lost to us. and within
six weeks after the presidential ampalg
IS opened the Democratic party would be
but q skeleton of itself. The split on the
slavery question would not be a circum-
stance compared to the rent which a free
silver plank in the nationalplatform would
make.
On the other hand, Representative
Bland, of Missouri, who favors free
silver coinage, says.
The Democratic party sees now that, If
we do not pass q free silver bill, we will be
s%tultifying ourselves and our record in the
last Congress-; that We will be acting tho
part of towards. This House will
pass a free-coinage bill, and the country
can rest assured of that.
AS each of these expressions repre-
sents a large mass of opinion it would
seem that the Democratic party is d.
vided against itself on the silver ques-
ton,

GOVERNOR FLOWER, of New York, has
Disguised many intelligent people by
what they are pleased to stigmatize as
his vulgarity. A few days since a COM
mittee of men representing the indus
tries and business of New York city
went to Albany to urge n liberal appro-
priation for the worlds fair. The CON-
mittee was ushered into the executive
chamber, and Mr.. King, of the Dry
goods Association, was introduced to
speak for it. When be said that $780,
600 should be appropriated by the State,
Governor Flower surprised those present
by ex%claiming "Rats!" The speaker
went on, saying that the treasury had a
surplus of s A. 200, 600, which made 1t
easy for the State to give $500. 900.
"Rats, rats" broke in the Governor; "a
full treasury always breeds rats" The
speaker stopped. and the committee took
leave of Governor Flower in q frigid
manner. Some of those who are most
indignant are Democrats who voted for
him, and who do not relish illusions to

Mahoganx in Great Demand.

There is probably more mahogany i'm.
ported to New York now than ever be,
fore, and the wood is put to o greater
variety of uses than at any time since
its beauty was first discovered to the
world. 1t is true that old mahogany
brings enormous prices, and that archi-
tects eagerly watch the destruction of
old buildings for the sake of purchasing
stair rails and mantelpieces of mahog-
any for new houses. But the gaudy
barrooms now so popular demand more
new mahogany in year than was ever
consumed in like period for the dining
tables of our grandfathers. The largest
logs, when not sawed up into veneer, go
to make bar slabs.-New York Sun.

Happiness is ours.
Moon we have, and sparkling stars
