REUBEN SEES A MEDAL.

There is much about all this medal
business, says REUBEN, which l do not
understand. l suppose a committee has
a right to vote the honOrs wherever and
whenever it chooses. But il struck me
as being a funny business. l was present
at the speaking, and the audience ahso-
lutely was wild over SHINN, while the
man TURNER received no applause. This
is the fact of tie business-and | do not
see how aboutit it. The Judges" S o called
were not there as experts they were not
under oath, and of course all know that
they knew nothing about oratory. If
they say that they can tell a good speech"
when they hear it, then they set them
selves up against a whole house full OF
~people-each one as competent to judge
as any Judge so called which rendered
the verdict.
OF course such light honors, it may be
argued, would do no good if won-and
that is true. But a fellow does not want
to feel that he has taken the blue ribbon
and see it tied on another exhibit.
The whole thing was a farce-and
SHINN was the man by all odds. l do
not give this as my ~opinion-but it was
the ~opinion-as expressed in deafening
applause-several times. And in this
case the medal becomes nothing, and the
public's medal of Opinion, awarded
SHINN, beats all the thing-a-me- hobs
which the learned judges gave TURNER.
And perhaps it is we'll. SHINN will not
need a medal-and it may be that TUR-
NER will.

ABOUT MONEY.

Reference was made some days ago to
a statement that it was contemplated by
the secretary of the treasury to increase
the present volume of United States
notes, as an alternative to issuing gold
bonds, if the necessities Of the govern
ment required such action. We said re-
galding this that while the secretary of
the treasury could reissue g~reenbacks he
had no authority of law for an extra is
sue. The act of June 20, 1874, fixing
the amount of United States notes. pro-
vides that the amount of such "outstand-
ing and TO be used as part of the circula-
ting medium shall not exceed the sum of
$500 600, 900"
The resumption act provided for the
redemption of United States notes in ex-
cess only of $500, 5000. Under this
act the maximum amount outstanding
was reduced to $347 600, 900 in round
numbers. The act of May 81, 1873, re-
pealed so much of the resumption act as
provided for the redemption of United
States notes and forbid the secretary of
the treasury to retire any more of the
United States legal tender notes" The
effect of this act was TO fix the maximum
of legal tender notes at the amount out

KEEP ON.

There is to be a special session of con
gress in September-and then the money
matters, SO GROVER informs US, will be
fixed up, as they should have long ago
been fixed up.
Until that time those who have money
due them can dun and wait and dun.
But it our opinion that this country is
big enough and rich enough to run most
any sort of business which it undertakes,
and we also cling to the belief that money
matters are all right now, having per.
haps the timidity of the fellow who has
the dollar.
A few months scare and then all will
be we'll Let all people keep a stiff up
per lip and that will end it.

The Right Thing.
tJOnesbOrO Daily Journal.

THE DURHAM DAILY GLOBE, one of the
best papers in America, is certainly in
the frOnt ranks in advocating financial
reforms. 1t fayors a speedy revision Of
the fraudulent pension rolls, and believes
that it is the duty OF the administration
at Washington to slap the dirty beggars
in the face That would be the proper
thing to do. The editor of The GLOBE
is of the same opinion of every other
honest southern man, that the deserving
Union soldiers should receive a liberal
pension from the government, and that
the thieves, deserters, sneaks, bummers
and bounty jumpers who never saw real
battle smoke and who never served an
honorable day ia the Union army should
be kicked out. That is the right thing.
and any northern man who advocates
anything else is not better than the pen
sion thieves and scoundrels who have
been for years and who are to-day sap
ping the very life blood out of the na-
tional treasury. Such men are not loyal
to the Union, They are worse than
traitors, for they would destroy the Union
by perpetrating frauds upon it. The war,
20 far as the South is concerned, has
been ended more han a score Of years.
And now the brave Southern soldiers,
without exception, though poverty
stricken and unable TO bear il, are will
ling to be taxed that the brave northern
soldiers, who faced them in mortal COM
bat and who sought to take their lives in
battle, may be pensioned by the govern
ment. And in this respect the South is
more just than the North. The pension
rolls must be revised. The honest Union
soldier must be pensioned. But the pen
sion thieves and frauds that have so long
disgraced our nation must 60.

BEGINNING AND END.

Trinity college has had its commence.
ment and its ceasing days, and will open
again when the fall months come, and
when the year is a little older grown.
There is something about Old Trinity
though here a new Trinity-which at
tracts, and which will attract until the
| end of time.
AS an institution of learning, Trinity
is recognized, and Trinity has sent out
upon the world many bright young men
and these bright young men have done
much good.
The public, which always has plenty
of volubility, has certainly misunder.
stood Trinity, and in turn, as was be-
coming any institution which claimed an
acquaintance with dignity and even, we
were about to say, Decency, Trinity Iur-
posely misunderstood the public.
In other words, and we know in
palmer words, the public has gone over
the threshold of what common, cOnven
tional courtesy would strike with a club,
and has failed to Keep off the Grass,
Trinity college has been the recipient
of large sums of money-UNCLE WASH
DUKE contributing $50 900 at one single,
solitary whirl to the institution. Yet
were he to give it a million Of his cod
and clammy dollars, that in no way makes
it a public affair.
DIR. CROwELL can be criticized as a
citizen-the same as this writer can be
but we hold that it is outside the pro-
vince of correspondents to ask US to
pound Trinity college for some purely
imaginary short coming. Briefly and to
the point: Trinity college is a private
atfair-and is in the hands of a board of
trustees. In its private business the pub
lie has nc right to express concern. If it
asks the public TO join in any of its ex-
e~rcises which it deems proper TO make
public-then that public can criticize.
But that public cannot 60 into the pri-
vacY of the institutions affairs and pre-
scribe for it.
And this is why we absolutely refuse
to print the two letters received to-day
concerning the college. And we hope
we have made ourselves understood.

| standing at the time of the passage of
tine act, and that amount cannot be in
creased or diminished without the au-
thority of an act of congress-.
1t is not at all probable that SECRE.
TARY CARLISLE, who is undoubtedly
of congress relating to the greenbacks,
has ever had the slightest idea that he
| could increase their volume without the
authority of congress, the suggestion
having had its origin, doubtless, with
some eastern banker with little bnowl-
edge of the laws, bat a shrewd mind for
expedients. Such an eXpedient, how
ever, would obviously have no value
should congress authorize the secretary
of the treasury to adopt it, for the effect
of increasing the volume Of legal tender
notes coincident with a decline Of the
gold reserve would but intensity the
difficulties of the situation. What the
treasury needs to do is to augment its
gold reserve, now reduced 100000 900
below what has for a number Of years
been regarded as a safe sum for the main
tenance of the government credit, and
there appears to be only one practical
and certain way Of doing this, and
that is by the sale Of bonds. The gold
is not coming through the custom
houses and the holders of it are not
showing great willingness to exchange il
for ~greenbacks. There is an ample sup
ply of gold in the country to meet easily
every requirement, but under existing
conditions those who have it are disposed
to hold on to it, aCtuated by practical
rather han patriotic considerations.
When early in the present administration
SECRETARY CARLYsLE made an appeal
to the country to relieve the treasury
gold situation there was for a time a quite
liberal response, but it did not last, and
now that the need of relief has become
more urgent than ever before the dispo-
sition to furnish it appears to have been
lost. Meantime gold continues TO go out
of the country and there is a growing
anxiety as to what the treasury intends
to do.

A DANGEROUS MAN.
Mike Baker Tries to Stab a Stranger
and flakes Lunge at
Officer Schiman.

A laborer boarding at the American
House became intoxicated Sunday
and between.9 oand s1Oo'clockSunday
night tried to stab stranger named
w. II. Jones, of Waseca, with large
jack knife. Mr.. Jones had never
seen Baker before and was peaceably
standing in front of the Sontag hotel
when Baker came up to him and
tried to stab him. Officer Schiman
happened along and placed him under
arrest. He went along peaceably
enough for two blocks, when he re-
fused to 20 any further, and said to
the officer "1 don't want to be arrest
ed and if you arrest me you won't live
three days" The officer replied that
he had heard such talk before, and
took him by the coat collar and push
ed him along with both hands. Baker
had dropped his knife into his coat
pocket when arrested, and when near
the Saulpaugh corner he pulled it out
and made lunge backwards at the
officer, as though to disembowel him.
The blade was sharp and cut through
the trowsers leg and again through
the trowsers twice along the stomach.
1t did not penetrate far enough to
more than scratch the flesh. however.
Officer Schiman promptly used his
billy and knocked the man down and
then marched him to the lookup.
Baker dropped the knife and it was
picked up and handed to the officer.
Baker spent the night at the lookup
and this forenoon Mr.. Schiman swore
out warrant charging him with as,
sault in the second degree with dan.

The American Policy.

When did the United States ever
declare that it's policy was net to
acquire anything more than it had
at any given time ? There has
been any amount of stump
speeches by individuals both ways,
but the nation has never declared
any policy" on the subject. 1t
would have made a monumental
ass of itself among nations if it had
done so. If no policy" has been
declared, what, if any, has been
fixed by practice ? Has the nation
refused more offers than it has ac-
cepted ? If part of Maine, Florida,
the Louisiana purchase, California,
and other territory conquered and
purchased from Mexico in two OF
three different transactions, and
Alaska-half.a-dozen different ac-
QUESTIONS, with next to nothing to
set off against them in the other
direction-do not constitute "po,
licy" established by practice, it is
hard, nay, it is impossible, to see
what would constitute a "policy ,
for any purpose. If there are any
proofs whatsoever going to show 6
contrary policy" the friends O
this movement would be glad t.
see and examine them.-New Yorl

misinformed the dispropOrtion Is
all in favor of the American ves-
sells. They have more guns and
more men, and as all have ord
nance heavy enough to pierce the
armor of either of the cruisers, it is
obvious that the presence of armor
does not count for much. Neither
would superior steam power, under
the present circumstances. The
fact that the Naniwa has a couple
of heavier guns is also very ques-
tionable advantage. Cruisers now
adays are not mounted with this
very heavy artillery, the advantage
being on the side of quicker action
and high penetrating power rather
than mere weight.
Our correspondent is also, as we
believe, disposed to underate the
comparative strength of the United
States Navy. 1t is already quite 6
respectable force, and when the
ships now allowed by law are com
pleted, will rank sixth, or directly
after England, France, Italy, Rus
STA and Germany.
These facts of course have moth
ing but a speculative interest 70
us. 1t amuses people to indulg
in fanciful guesses about the rela
tive strength of ships and armies
| as it amuses them to discuss tn
chances of the next great priz
fight. Even the most refined mus
confess TO a sneaking interest i
these subjects. From the point
view of evolution, it is survive
from the time when men, like othe
animals, caught their prey wit
their own hands and devoured
raw.
