payable in gold. In Kansas

specifically payable in gold In Kansas
there are complaints that the Wall street
tyranny is worse than ever because notes
secured by mortgage can not be renewed
except by inserting the provision that
they are payable in gold coin. Now, the
tree silver men profess that if their
measure should become a law the value
of the silver dollar would be the equiv
alent of the gold dollar; but so far as
they have any business sense it teaches
them better, and they resent the move
ment for the conversion of securities
into exclusively gold paper. The press,
however, is progressive. Already the
banks are stuffed with gold certificates.
and silver certificates are thrown out all
the time in the payment of debts. This
is upon the old and well known principle
that the cheaper or poorer money goes
that is, kept moving. The better money
is held for emergencies, or rather for
contingencies for a premium. Pass the
| free silver bill and the bankers will have
the profit of the premium on their gold
certificates and coin at once; and, as we
have said, they have boarded gold in
their reserves looking to this directly
and they pay out habitually and sys-
tematically silver and the paper repre-
sentations of silver. While the moneyed
men are gathering the harvest of gold
premiums the pensioners, the wage
workers, the men and women, official
and others, on salaries, would find the
purchasing power of their incomes re-
duced nearly one-third, with pensions,
salaries of all sorts still lower. Surely
the questions arising from the silver
struggles should be settled soon.

DEEPEST LAKE IN THE WORLD.


By far the deepest lake known in the
world is Lake Baikal, i'm Siberia. 1t is
in every way comparable with some of
the great lakes of America; for, while its
area is only 5000 square miles, making
it much smaller than the three largest
of our five great lakes and about the ex-
act equal of Lake Erie, in superficial
extent, its enormous depth, 1000 to
5000 feet, makes the total volume of its
waters almost equal to those Of Lake
Superior. Its level is 1850 feet above
that of the Pacific ocean, but. notwith-
standing, its bottom is more than 5000
feet below. There are many other deep
lakes in the world, but so far Baikal takes
the palm. Lake Maggiore is 5000 feet
deep, Lake Como 1000, and Lego-di-
Garda, another Italian lake, nearly 1900
feet in depth. Lake Constance aver
ages about 1000 feet and Lakes Superior
and Michigan about 500 feet.

LOOKING ABOUT FOR SHELTER.

LOOKING ABOUT FOR SHELIEh.
Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
In the last issue of HdrpeT's weekly
Mr.. George w Curtis, the Grand Pan
jandrum and High Mighty Mickamuck
of the Mugwumps, toots an eleglac
strain on his editorial pipes over the
downfall of Cleveland. He celebrates
the virtues of the Great-has been In
Joyous allegro movement, but when ne
reaches the present situation the strain
becomes melancholy andante. He
says that sit was plain Mr.. Cleveland
was not an acceptable representative to
a large, if not controlling, body OF his
party, until now it is clear that the
difference of feeling in his party is SO
great as to make his nomination this
year highly improbable" Furthermore
even should he be nominated, Mr..
Cleveland could hardly be expected to
carry New York by such a majority as
the Democratic party obtained last year,
.and the fair probability is that his
Democratic opponents wonld take care
as they did in 1888, that he should not
carry it at ALL" So farewell, Cleveland.
Where, oh where, shall now the Mug
wump go? Shall he flock to himself
like Dundreary's lone bird or shall he
fit from one political party to another
Mr.. Curtis depicts him as at present
twittering uneasily on the perch of his
own elf-sufficiency, but his knowing
little head is cooked to one side, with
coy glances toward the Republican flock.
1.-The Democratic party has lost its op-
portunity;" it no longer stands ''for
honest government or sound principles. y
Mr.. Curtis sees no reason why the Re-
publicans should help them to better
footing. "Honest money Democrats be-
seeeh Republicans to help them save the
currence," but "why should the Repub-
licans prevent the Democrats from
showing to the country that their major
ity is willing to debase the currency?''
That would be helping 'the Democratic
party to carry the elections under false
pretense."
1t is pretty evident from this what
side the Mugwumps will take when
Cleveland shall have been definitely
laid aside and national issues shall have
been made up. They will probably
postpone action until the last movement,
and then act like a party of elderly
ladies caught in shower with their
umbrellas at home. They will scatter
and make for the most convenient
shelter. The greater number will find
themselves in the hospitable portals of
Republicanism.

MICHIGAN NEXT.

New York Press.
Republicans everywhere are encour-
aged by' the news from Wisconsin that
the Supreme Court of that State has
declared the Democratic legislative re-
strictive bill unconstitutional. They are
likely to hear soon. of the progress of a
suit in Michigan, where an appeal is to
be made to the federal courts TO de-
termine the constitutionality of the law
in reference to Presidential electors. 1t
is asserted that by the division of the
State into two districts for the election
of electors at large the federal Constitu-
tion has been violated. New York Re-
publicans should be encouraged to begin
a suit against the fraudulent reappor-
tionment of this State, which is contem-
plated under the illegal and unconstitu-
tional State census just taken. Repub-
licans of the Empire State should
certainly have as much courage and
fighting energy as their brethren in
Wisconsin and Michigan.
