only real money of redemption"
But in the last paragraph quoted
the Journal gets mixed again when 1t
speaks of the rag money thus pur-
chased at a premium, and which it
has heretofore designated as "fiat."
It says: Therefore, they are willing
to, and do, give from 3 to 5 per cent.
premium for the actual cash."
This rag money and this 6O-cent
dollar, then, have come to be recog-
nized by the Journal as actual cash
real money? Ono, this conclusion is
hssty. The Journal only said that
because it didn't know what else to
say, for in the very next paragraph
it quotes the comment of some other
lunatic on the ultimate redemption
business IN which this same rag
money ls again designated as "fst,"
and the Journal considers the quota
tion squelcher to Populist theories.
The quotation says:
The fact may help some of the Populists
to understand how the paper promises
issued by the United States several years
ago were discounted when redemption was
deferred and rose to par the moment it was
known there was gold in the treasury to re-
deem them on demand. Also, it may en-
able them to see that if there were no
redemption at all, as proposed by the men
who want the government to issue fat
"money," claiming to be named number
of dollars, instead Of promise to pay dol
lars, such "money" would soon be worth
nothing at all.
This quotation is wrong in every
statement it makes and every infer
ence 1t draws. The paper money of
the government was neUer discounted
because its redemption was deferred.
That was not the reason of it at all.
Mr.. Stevens, Mr.. Hooper, MIR.
Spaulding, and others in the house
of representatives, told the reason
why that money aVoWld be discounted
when the bill for its creation was be-
fore that body, and after the financial
conspirators of Wall street and of the
United States senate had succeeded in
the original house bill.
It was because the government itself
it, by refusing to receive
it for duties. This is the reason it
was discount, and nothing else. Had
1t been receivable for duties, there
would have been nothing to discount
1t for, and it never would have been
discounted, AS an evidence of this,
we need only to refer again to the $780,
100000 of old demand notes, which
were always at premium above gold
during the whole continuance OF the
war, and until their final retirement.
By the law under which they were
first issued, they were not made a
legal tender for anything. They
we're the simple promises to pay of
the government; and these patriotic
bankers who afterwards succeeded in
their conspiracy against the credit OF
the government through the aid OF
The United States senators, refused to
receive these promises to pay or have

How Spain Enjoys Herself.

MADRID, April 2l.-The bull fighting sea-
son in Spain opened with more than usual
enthusiasm. Frascuclo, for several years
the favoiie toreador, has been supplnnted
by the new hero of the ring, Rcvcrtc The
laitcr's rein was brief. In IL fierce encount-
er the bull caught his tormentor and drove
his horns deep into his sides. The furious
beast dragged his impaled victim some
moments about the ring before the attend
ants rescued him. The men and women OF
the vast aroma watched the dreadful spec
taclc in brea thess enthusiasm. The almost
lifeless body of the great toreador was car
ried out, sawdust was sprinkled on The pools
of blood, and the audience settled down to
the tanner sport of the day

No Hope Entertained For tho Passage 81
the German Army Bill.


BERLIN April 24.-The Reichstag had to
adjourn three days last week for want Of
q quorum. While the emperor is attend
Ing the celebration in Rome many fear that
a crisis may be reached in his absence. No
body seems to doubt the governments
defeat on the army bill. The calculating
is on how many votes Chancellor Won
Caprivi, after long intriguing with the
Center and National Liberal parties, will
be able to secure. The house comprises Mt
present 394 members, three seats being
vacant. Out of these the chancellor relies
upon getting total minority vote of Isl,
against compact opposition amounting
to 2i3 votes. Even should the chancellor
be able to secure the votes of the small
number of Catholic dissidents following
Herr Huene they would not suffice to
avert n defeat.
The party leaders are accepting dissolu-
ton as inevitable and are assiduous in
their preparations for the elections But
for Herr Huene's coquetting with the
chancellor the Center leaders would readi-
iy agree upon the form of electoral mani
festo, which has received the adhesion of
most of the party. The Freisinnige lead
ers, who will enter the contest thoroughly
united, will issue their declaration as soon
as the Reichstag reject the bill.
Ahlwardt's last chance of reelection
through Socialist support is gone. Herr
Robel and the other leaders have become
convinced of the bad faith of the man and
the worthless character of his documents.
So Ahlwardt will fall back upon the
Polish group who do not encourage his
approaches.

The Laws Injustice and Delay.

BosroS, April 24.-At the Fourth Pres.
bytcrian church Rev. L. IIinn;m made the
subject of his prelude-''A plea for Lizzie
Borden and justice''-a topic for scathing
comment on the laws injustice and delay.
Referring to the GO days imprisonment
and 81 ,0oo fine Of President A. p Potter of
the Maverick bank, Mr. Human said: "a
petty thief receives the great penalty and
a great thief petty penalty. Woe to So
ciety when the suspicion becomes we'll
founded that justice is dead" Referring
to Lizzie Borden, the speaker condemned
her long imprisonment without trial,
while innocent in the eyes of the law
while the eX-bank president, though con-
vlcted, was given his freedom after the
verdict and again after the judges SEN
tence.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.
Ancient Manuscript Copy of the So Called
Gospel of st. Peter.

Ancient Manuscript Copy of the So Called
Gospel OF st. Peter.
LONDON, April 24.-The discovery of the
so called gospel of Peter is arousing even
greater interest in theological circles than
the finding of the ancient copy of the gos-
pcls ut Mount Sinai. The manuscript was
found by Bouriali, the well known archie
ologist, i'll the tomb of II monk in Egypt.
The date is placed late in the first century.
The recital of the passion, death and resur-
rcction of Christ, though differing in GER
tain details from that Of the canonical
books, approaches that of the Evangelist
Mark. According to the best Catholic and
Protestant cNegetical scholars in Paris, the
gospel is copied from Greek manuscript
The document is not apocryphal, for it
is quoted by the Christian apologst and
martyr Justin. At the cricitiXion accord
ing to this version, only the hands were
nailed. Joseph of Arimathea was the in
iiuential friend of plate, who prevailed
upon the Roman project to obtain Herod's
consent to the delivery of the body of
Jesus. Soldiers and elders witnessed the
resurrection. The latter were afraid of
being stoned by the Jews. They therefore
sent IL dcpntation to plate asking him to
forbid the soldiers to dvulge the miracle.
