A SCHEME rO HALF SILVER.

Since the repeal Of the %purchasing
clause OF the Sherman Act many minds
have been ct work to evolve . scheme by
which the white metal could be raised
from the present deprecated condition.
Some Of the ideas advanced were plaus-
ible aud others not 30 much so.
j. H. Roberts Of Park City. Utah. 10
the latest. He has thought out . scheme.
which. il put in practical operation by
the West and South, would be the means
Of forcing the Government to coin oil the
silver it could get hold Of. His plan ia .
simple one and believed to be entirely
practical. 1t is as follows:
He proposes to select one Of the
strongest banks in the State or Territory
as . place Of deposit, and then have
every man who is able deposit Eve dol
lars in silver coin with the bank and 70.
ceivs therefor 9 check Of deposit Of con-
venient size to be used as money. and 80
engraved as to make counterfeitipg .
difficult matter. Every check Of deposit
to be Of the value Of IS, and numbered
from one to as high a. may be desired.
The certificates are to be redeemable 10
ten years. and the bank acting ~ de.
pository to make its profits through the
bills that may be destroyed during that
tims-which would undoubtedly pay any
institution for the time, trouble and ex.
pense Of preparing and issuing said
checks Of deposit.
As such checks would be backed BY S.
in silver coin it would pass current A.
money In all States and Territories which
enter into the understanding, and would
force oil banks. excepting the one seleeted
by the dspositors. to keep drawing on the
Government for silver dollars and sub.
sidiary coin for change. and in . few
years at the most the Treasury Depart.
ment would be drained Of silver and the
Government compelled to coin more to
supply the demand for change.
The plan seems safe and sound and free
from al ENHANCEMENT Of law. and the de.
posit checks so issued would certainly be
better than the clearing house certificates
used during the recent panic.

Cleveland is said to be afflicted with
. painful and necessarily dangerous can
Ger. This has given editors with little
or no common sense foundation for face
tious remarks aud grim jokes, which not
only indicate bad breeding and q total
lack Of Jecency. but these alleged jokes
are without good points, and more cal
culsted to produce frown than laughter.
The fact that Mr.. Cleveland is the Presi'
dent Of the United States puts him above
cosrseness aud ribsldry. and entities him
TO /. certain amount Of respect. His life
is just as dear to his wife and children
Is that Of the humblest citizen in the
lowest walks OF life. Because he is not
. good ruler gives no one a license to ex-
press the wish that some fatality should
remove him. He was placed there by the
voters Of the nation and can be removed
