To Provide More Money.

WASHINGTON, July 1G.-Comtroller
Eckles has received the following let
ter from Henry Clews, the well-known
banker:
New YORK, July II, 1893.
The Hon. James H. Eckles, Controller
of the Currency, Washington, d. c.
DEAR SIR: The National Bank act
certainly should be amended to pro-
vide for notes being issued up to the
par value Of United States bonds, and
another amendment would also be wise
to provide for an issue of notes against
the surplus capital of the national
banks to the extent Of IS per cent.
thereof.
These two changes in the law would
make an increase in national currency
amounting to about $3.50, 000 900, and
would provide the nation with enough
new money for its needs, and it would
be the best and most legitimate kind
besides. The New York banks now
have surplus over capital of s7O,0O0,-
600. The national banks of other cities
aud elsewhere have probably 500, ,0OO-
GO0 in addition.
This backing in cash or its eQuiva-
lent to the notes issued against same,
would make them the strongest and
most legitimate character Of money in
circulation. No stronger kind of money
could be devised. The surplus against
which the issue of those notes would
be made would be under the National
Bank Examiners. The constant in-
crease in the surplus of the banks
would also give an elastic character to
such money, which is very desirable
feature. Yours very truly,
HENRY CLEwS.

SAW MONEY IN 'PCSSUMS.
So BE Halted the Fast Express to Find Out
II the Passengers Would Buy Any.
GSeno:a Enterprise.Gazette |

SenO:a Enterprise Gazette.
The regular passenger train was go-
ing west from Griffin, and was about
forty minutes late. The engineer was
trying to make up lost time, and was
running about fifty miles an hour,
when he was Mortified to see about two
hundred yards ahead Of him, just as he
turned curve before he got to White
water Creek, a man on the track wav-
ing his coat across the track and over
his head, and seeming to be very much
excited. The engineer, thinking of
course that the bridge had been burned
or fallen in, applied his air brakes, re-
versed his engine, and shouted to his
fireman to jump. They both landed
safely, and the train came to a halt so
suddenly that it nearly unseated all the
passengers.
"For Gods sake, what's the matter?"
asked the almost breathless conductor
of the fellow who had stopped the
train. .".-
Sam, for that was his name, an
swered: a..- =.
81 jes' wanted to know eff you wanted
ter buy some 'possums."
The engineer tainted, the fireman
flew back to the engine, and the con-
ductor looked all about him for rock
or a fence rail to kill Sam with, and
finally felt in his hip pocket for his pis-
tol, fully intending to kill him on the
spot, bat he did not have his pistol and
could not find anything to hit him
with. He saw he was in it, and after
moments reflection he told Sam he
would take the opossums. The con-
ductor intended to take all Sans opos-
sums and leave Sam without paying
for them. So the conductor asked
Sam where they were. The engineer
had recovered himself the fireman and
about two-thirds of the passengers had
gotten up to the engine by now and
eagerly looked for Sam to bring in
about a dozen big fat ::opossums, but
Sam simply said to the conductor:
"Wall, I hain't got um here, but
these here big woods up here is jus
chuck full of um, and I will ketch you
three or four and bring UNI down some
time" .'-
Four strong men lifted the limp and
almost lifeless form of the conductor to
the train.

Consumption comes. A slight cold,

For every disease that has to be reached
