Lent a Helping Hand.

President Harrison is under manv
obligations to the Democrats. When
the Republican senate passed the
Stewart free silver bill it was the
Democratic house that relieved him
Of the embarrassment of veto. And
now Alabama Democrats. by claimine
that their victory was brought about
by negro votes have rendered it pos
sible for him to back gracefully down
from his position on the force bill
which. to say the least was not an
acceptable one to large minority of
his party. In addition to these favors
the wanton waste of the Democratic
house will compel the government to
increase its tariff taxes or borrow
money. Take it altogether. Harrison
and protectionism have no ADLER as.
.sistants than leading Democrats are.
The people have concluded that it
is pity to spoil two parties with
them.

Bank Notes and Green backs.

A correspondent writes the Chicago
Free Trader concerning the redeem
ability of national bank notes.
We can answer his inquiries by
stating in brief that the national bank
notes are merely the promises to pay
of banking corporations backed by
the guaranty of the United States.
These bank notes are like any or
binary due bill or promissory note.
They are payable in any legal tender
money. If the holder OF one of them
steps up to counter of the bank that
issued it and presents it for payment.
the bank can redeem it by handing
out greenbacks gold or silver. II the
bank cannot do it the United States
government is obliged to do it If
neither the banks or the government
can do it. both. under the ordinary
laws of commerce are bankrupt"
If all the bank notes in the coun-
try were presented to the banks at
once they could not be redeemed
unless the banks held an equal
amount of coin or green backs as
reserve. " a thing which it is next.to
an fmpossibility for them to do.
If Gould and Vanderbilt should con-
vert all their property into national
bank notes and present them for re-
demption at the, banks. receiving
therefor an equal amount of green
backs aud should then present the
greenbacks to the government for 70.
demption Gas they have right to do
under the so-called Redemption Act)
in the present state of the treasury
the government could not redeem
them except by a new issue of green
backs-which would simply be swap
ping" greenbacks 1t could not re-
deem in coin. as called for by the Re-
demption Act. If neither the banks
nor the government could redeem
them. then both banks and govern
ment would be. considered bank
rupt."
The pretense that the bank can pro-
tect its noteholders with its 5 per cent
OF reserve greenbacks is fraud and
a sham; the pretense that the govern
ment can redeem" its green backs
with coin on demand is also a sham.

The Dead Congress.

This is the way the Waterman of
Washington. D. c., sets out the last
congress:
Now that the session of congress is
at an end. review of its work may
be matter of interest. The meas
ures OF moment not counting appro-
priation bills passed. are the Chinese
exclusion BILL the Inman registry
bill. the Black Hawk and Seminole
war pension bill. the eight hour bill
and the bill enabling the president to
enforce reciprocal canal arrange
ments with Canada The important
bills that did not pass are the several
tariff measures free silver. and the
anti-option bill. all of which would
have vitality benefited the laboring
masses throughout the union.
More than IL. 900 bills were intro
duced in the house. but only ATS
passed and 2S9 only ran the gauntlet
OF the senate and escaped the presi-
Dental veto. OF these 22O were bills
OF public nature. ISL pension bills
and the others related to, miscellan-
eous subjects.
The senate originated quite 5, 900
bills and passed 691. but only 1873 OF
these have received the sanction of
the house. A noteworthy feature of
the private bills passed is the large
percentage relating to service in the
Mexican and Indian wars and the war
OF 1912. the beneiciaries being chief
Iy Southern men.
Both houses have had struggle
with election contests. Senators Du-
bois of Idaho. and Call of Florida
had their seats contested respectively.
by Claggett and Davidson. Six con-
tested cases occupied the attention of
the house committee on elections and
four OF these were settled. The case
OF Greevy VS.. SculL from Pennsyl-
vania. and that of Miller VS.. Elliot
OF South Carolina remain in the
hands OF the committee. The Fifty
second congress has been remarkable
for nothing beyond imbecility and ir-
resolution. and the Watchman con-
graduates the people that it's course
is run.

we got man in congress that cannot

shrieked and ran as the flies clung to

They could be shoveled up or swept off
by the bushel, and handfuls could be
gathered in the air. They filed the wait
ing rooms and ticket offices, and when
trains arrived they filed the cars. Bush
els Of them were swept up this morning,
and could be gathered under any elec-
trio light, while the globes of the lights
were packed full. The steamboats, were
deluged with them. The only gamers
by this affiiction appear to be the spar

that they could neither chatter nor fight

A NontranHierslble railroad IIcKet.

A young railroad man of Pomona has
come to the front with an invention in
the way of ticket that will bring him
fame and an enviable bank account 1t
is simply this: The purchaser of an IRON
clad ticket is not to be required to write
his name or make any formal declara-
ton as to his intention in regard to the
ticket Nothing of the kind. The agent
who sells the low rate round trip points
his little camera at you while he gives
you your change. 1t records the image
of the purchaser in an instant. The
agent pulls out the slide, rubs his chemi-
cal sponge over the sensitized paper and
there you are. In the upper left hand
corner of the ticket he pastes that pic
ture, puts it in under stamp that en-
bosses the edges, and unless you can
find somebody that looks enough like
you to risk the chance Of return on
your image the ticket will carry the
original purchaser and nobody else.-
