PENSION PAYMENTS.

I,abie to be Delayed Somewhat by tho
Discrimination OF the Banks to Part with
Their Currency. and Will Only Take PEN
sion Cheeks for Collection.
WASHINGTON, Aug Sowing to the
disinclination of the national banks of
the country to part with their currency
at this time, it is probable that pen
sioners who are to be paid this
month will experience 4 slight delay
in receiving their money. This
state of affairs is brought about
by the banks, which have heretofore
cashed all pension checks presented,
but now several of the more prominent
banks in the west have notified the
treasury department that in view of
the financial strineency they do not
feel justified in continuing at present
the policy pursued by them in the
past All pensions are paid by checks,
drafts at the agency in favor Of
the pensioners, generally on the sub
treasury at New York. The custom
mas been for the pensioner to present
Ibis check at his local bank, receive the
money for it, the bank in turn sending
ut on to New York for collection. This
Tsquires considerable ready money, in
some instances 500, OOOa day.
Acting Secretary Curtis has sug-
Rested to the banks that are inclined
to cash these checks that if they will
deposit United States bonds in ex-
change for currency he will deposit
the necessary currency with them to
pay pension checks on presentation.
The banks are not fayorably inn
pressed with this idea. as their
cashing pension checks at all is simply
n matter of convenience to the holders,
and to deposit bonds is an additional
trouble that they do not wish to under
take. All of the banks have indicat ted
Il purpose to receive pension checks
for collection only, and this will
probably be the outcome of
the present hitch. This will
occasion from seven to ter days delay.
Pension checks paid at indianapolis,
Knoxville, Tenn. Louisville and New
York are drawn on the sub-treasury at
New York; those at Philadelphia on
the sub-treasury at Philadelphia, and
those at Topeka, Kas., on the sub
treasury at st. Louis.

A SENATORIAL OPINION.
Henry Cabot Lodges Opinion of the Prac.
teal Effect of the Repeal of the Sher-

Henry Cabot Lodges Opinion of the Prac.
teal Effect of the Repeal of the Sher-
man Act.
BosToN, Aug. 4.-Senator Henry Ca
bot Lodge, in speaking of the proba-
billty of the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law, said:
Il think congress will repeal the
purchasing clause, although it may
not be done quite SO promptly as is
hoped here. If an attempt is made to
unite with the repeal any other measure
in the nature of a compromise of an
affirmative character, it will lead to in
ter:nina bic debate, and repeal will
likely be defeated.
81 do not in the least underrate the
necessity for some affirmative meas
ures in regard to the currency. Some
thing ought to be done looking to the
sale of the silver bullion in the treas
ury, under proper limitations, for gold.
Some amendments ought also to be
made to the national bank act. But
these measures can wait, and can be
much better handled after the repe al
of the purchasing clause has removed
the distrust which now exists abroad,
and the fear which they there have
that we are going on to silver basis.
When this fear is removed money will
flow from London. where the rate of
interest is very low, to New York,
where the rate of interest is very high,
and money rates will at once begin to
grow easier in this country. AS soon
as that comes about, the vast sums of
money which are now boarded all over
the United States, will come forth from
their hiding places and this will cause
a still further decline in the rates of
money and bring great relief to bust
ness. This is the practical effect, as it
seems to me, of repeal"

Happen. president of the Gallatin ma

inghouse loan committee, said yester-
day that the cry about scarcity OF
currency would be all over by the end
of the week, by which time the first of
the gold importations would be here.
The receipt of SO 100000 Of gold, the
amount now on the way. would. Mr..
Tappen said. effectually put a stop to
this scarcity of currency. Mr.. Happen
said he did not know anything about a
premium being offered for currency;
so far as the Gallatin bank was con-
cerned it had shoveled out the cash
without discrimination and would con-
tinue to do so. He believed one or two
banks uptown were little short of
currency, but it was probable that ar
rangements will be made to relieve
their necessities in that respect.

A sharp Contrast.

The Cleveland administration draws
the line sharply between public and
private affairs. The president has ap-
pointed none of his relatives to Office
and the heads of departments have not
filled the rosters of the service with the
family name. The private secretary of
the president does not use the treasury
pay roll to return services rendered to
his family. When the president is
bound for pleasure he uses private
yacht. Grover Cleveland, the president,
is very careful that Grover Cleveland
the citizen, shall have only those priv
leges which every other citizen, &C.
cording to his means and tastes, en-
joys. The contrast between the pres
ent and the last administration Is re-
freshing.-Albany Argus.
