Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

A Few General Remarks and Familiar
| Reflections.
A fear prevails in many minds of night
air The atmosphere is thought to be
cold, and dangerous after the sun has
set: to breed noxious Influences and to
cause disease. Persons who believe in
the baleful effects of breathing the night
air shut down their chamber windows,
and seem to suppose by enclosing the air
they thereby purifyit. Quite the reverse
is, of fcOurse, true. They shut themselves
in narrow room, soon exhaust the
vitality of the air they have closed in
with them, and arise in the morning
comparatively unrefreshed As DIR. Dio
Lewis said, the night air is the only air
there is at night, and it is of the utmost
Importance to health that there be plenty
of it in the sleeping room. The idea that
the air of the night is dangerous is prob
ably a lingering prejudice from the
dreams of childhood. which are afraid
of the dark"
The progress of the race toward relig-
ions tolerance is well shown by the ae-
tion of Brooklyn Baptist Church, which
last week offered a Roman Catholic con-
gregation the use of its building, the
Catholic church having been destroyed
by fire. The offer was accepted This
offer was made in Brooklyn,a stronghold
of Professionalism: and was made by de-
nomination which produced Rev. DR..
Fulton, man whose life work was to
fight Romanism, and which has always
been regarded as especially bound up in
IN its own doctrines. Another evidence
of religious progress, is the course of
brilliant lectures, which Prof Drummond
has just concluded at Chautauqua, In
these lectures, the doctrine of evolution,
which a few years ago was regarded as
heresy, by many clergymen, was set forth
with all Drummond's genius, religious
fervor and scientific knowledge.
During their recent bicycle trip through
Western Pennsylvania Mr.. and Mrs.
Grassland were regarded as curiosities.
Lady bicyclists, it seems, are not common
in that regional least ladies who have
the courage and strength to undertake
so extended a trip. Wherever they
stopped gaping and curious crowd
gathered around, anxious to see the
woman who rode the wheel At one
place in the country, an old woman in
spected them through her eye glasses as
they sped along the road, and as they
passed the door of her house, she threw
up her hands, exclaiming to someone
inside, Great Heavens, come and look
at thisr'

 THE TIMES is not sure, but we think it was the Arkansas Democrat which said: "1'ne present stringency in the money market has undoubtedly been artiIicialy produced by the bankers, and other financial speculators, to se- cure the permanent outlawry of sil- yer, and the enthronment of gold as the only arbiter of values. These are credItors-the masses of the people are debtors. By carrying out the proposed scheme every debt would be largely in- creased in value, harder to pay, and thus place the people more completely than ever in the hands of the most re- lentless tyrant the world ever knew. They try to frighten the people by rointing to the sherman silver law, and saying "we told you how it would be-repeal it, repeal it!" And thou sands of frightened men who feel the financial pinch, echo the cry repeal itl" The panic has been more dsas- trous in Australia, 12000 miles from New York, than elsewhere. Was the Sherman law responsible for this, or was it the craze for getting wealth without earning it, as in our own couD- fyy

WE stated in our article on the threatened financial disaster, last week, that we have not had large ex- perience in tinanciering, What We don't know about the financial ques tion may be sufficient to make two or three large volumes, but it seems that we touched upon most responsive chord, and with the exception of what was said of the banks. the article has been generally indorsed. Some friends claim that we are ''way off on banks, and that the banks are not hoarding their money, but have less than twenty five per cent of their deposits on hand. We have been shown bank journal containing clearing house state ment of the Boston banks, and it is presumed that their condition is fair criterion as to other banks, and this statement does show that these banks have less than twenty-five per cent of their deposits on hand. It is admitted, however, that the banks are holding on to all money now on hand, and that they are calling in all out standing loans as rapidly as possible in order to protect themselves against possible runs, and that lack of confi- dence is the cause. However this may be. it does not affect the main ques- tion. which we are glad to see the peo- pie are studying, and the article of last week was, in the main, correct and voices the sentiment of not less than seyenty-fye per cent of the people of this country.
