A Joker Among Birds.

The bluejay is practical joker. 1t is
his habit to conceal himself in a mass of
leaves near the spot where small birds are
accustomed to gather. and when they are
enjoying themselves in their own fashion
will suddenly frighten them almost to
death by screaming out like hawk. OF
course they scatter in every direction, and
when they do so the mischievous rascal
gives vent to cackle that sounds very
much like laugh.-Yankee Blade.

The demand for new men in the republi-
can party of the state is imperative. The
old fellows have gotten the party into hole
and only the young fellows can get it out.
II we 60 on year after year with the same
old crowd, young men with more ambition
than principles, and there are plenty of
such, will give allegiance elsewhere. The
party that succeeds must look out for the
young men.-Lawrenoe World.
There is possibility that if those
now composing the republican party
would consent to die and stay dead,
a new party might come into exist
ence under that name that would
have some principles and fair de-
gree of honesty; but this is a con-
summation scarcely to be hoped for,
It isn't the name of the party that
honest people object to; it is the COM
position of It's leaders, and that as
the World intimates, is decidedly
scaly.

THE "reformer" that advocates one kind

reforming himself. The Populist party has

would appear too personal. We do not
question their sincerity, but we simply want
TO tell them they do not understand the
philosophy Of money.-Ottawa Journal.
Nor do they understand the philos-
ophy Of the present reform move
ment. If they understand the
philosophy ftheir own interest, they
will not commit themselves to the
policy of redeemlng one KIDD OF
money in another.

NO uIluCulC, buoE0LOHe, lOT Gn0 pro"
ducer to determine upon which side
of this question his interest lies.
Mr.. Henderson's ideas of panics
may be understood by his reference
to that of 1873. Concerning it he
says:
The panic of 1873 was, without doubt, the
direct result Of speculation and overtradlng
induced by the greenbaok era, beginning in
1928.
This, Notwithstanding the almost
universal recognition of the fact that
the destruction of the greenbacks and
the substitution therefor of interest
bearing bonds, were the underlying
causes of that panic. It was the out
rsgeous violation Of well established
economic law. But listen:
l have already shown that under the era
Of deprecated greenbacks the balance Of
trade was against US every year. State bank
issues had been tried and could not be kept
at par with gold. United States notes had
been tried, sndthough backed by the wealth
and credit Of the nation, they, too, had
failed to preserve parity with gold.
MIR. Henderson's statements in this
paragraph are false in fact, and his
conclusions are groundless On page
xxx, of the report of the chief of
the bureau of statistics of the United
States for 1891, will be found a tabu-
lated statement of the imports and
exports from the year 1874 to 1891
inclusive. From that table it appears
that up to and including the year
1875 the balance of trade was against
us, varying in amount from a little
over $7,OOO,0O0 to over $1S2OOO,0OO
every year, except the years 1874,
1847, 1868, 1861 and 1874; and that
from 1876 to 1891, both inclusive, the
balance of trade has been in our favor
every year except 1888 and 1889,
varying in amount from upwards
Of $23, 100000 to nearly $260,OOO,OOO.
Specie payments were not resumed
until 1879. The balance of trade in
our favor during this part of the
period of suspension was as follows:
1876. 876.......................$ 79,643, ,481
1871 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 161y162,U94
!6IS. IS............. 20i, ,8i4, ,SS4
Io'S. ....'..'.'.''...'''''' 1o4Ioo4,ooo
From this date the balance of trade
in our favor declines up to 1887, when
it is $23,863,443; and in 1883 it is
against us to the amount of $28, ,002,-
COZ. Again in 1892, in this era of the
honest % dollar, the balance ls re-
ported to be against us. What, then,
becomes of Mr.. Henderson's state
ment that he has already shown
that under the era of deprecated
greenbacks the balance Of trade was
against us every year % And what
think you of the further statement
that the greenbsck, though backed
by the wealth and credit of the ma
ton, had failed to preserve q parity
with gold? From the time the
greenbacks were first issued up to
the time of our nominal resumption
of specie payments, the government
itself discredited them by refusing to

nT. HENDERSON SuDmlCs q summary
OF the necessary remedies for the
evils that now afiict the country. We
give these remedies IN full and de-
sire our readers to study them care
fully. Continuing he says:
The government treasury is depleted of
it's surplus. Government expenditures ex-
oeed receipts. Extrsvagant expenditures
must now be paid in a medium of value.
The needless promise to pay has now run
It's brief course and its performance comes
with suffering and tears.
What now is the remedy
First-The customs duties ahould here
after be paid in gold alone.
Second-The silver bullion in the govern
ment vaults should at once be sold for cash
in gold, and the proceeds converted into
the treasury.
Third-Three per cent. gold bonds to the
amount of $500, 900 should be promptly
sold and the proceeds transferred to the
treasury.
Fourth-A day should be fixed, not later
than January l, 1894, for the redemption
and payment in gold coin of all circulating
notes of every description heretofore issued
by the government.
Fifth-At least half the silver dollars
issued under the acts of 1873 and 1880 should
be sold as bullion and the remainder minted
into subsidiary silver coin.
SiXth-Proyisions should be made for the
use Of $500, 600, 900 of gold bonds as a basis
for banking, making the provisions as lib
eral as possible consistent with safety, but
under government supervision.
SeVenth-The basis of national banking
should be enlarged so as to permit the issue
of circulating notes on the deposit of other
than United States bonds, the solvency Of
such bonds to be passed upon by RESPONSE
BILE government officials.
Eighth-All bank issues to be redeemed
in gold coin on demand.
Ninth-All foreign gold COINS should be
made legal tender for debt and receivable
for government dues at their value fixed by
law.
Tenth-Previous to January l, 1878, the
surplus funds of the treasury, either from
loans or collections to be placed with the
banks in such sections of the country and
in such amounts as may be determined by
the secretary.
There is other evidence that this is
correct expression of the present
gold bug program. The Globe-Dens-
ocrat of July 3, in it's introduction to
Mr.. Henderson's communication, en-
dorses him as a man ''who has de-
voted long and careful study to
matters of finance" and the gold bug
press of both parties has made favor
able comment upon his opinions.
The American Banker of July l
also has a communication from w.
W. Flanagan, president of the South
ern National bank, of New York city.
1t is copied from the New York Times.
Commenting upon this communica-
tion, the American Banker says:
A wholly admirable and calm statement
of the business situation and proposed
measures for changing our currency system
will be found in another column. The
writer, Mr.. W. W. Flanagan, is president
Of the Southern National bank, Of New
York city, and has been careful student Of
monetary affairs for many years. The fruits
of this study are revealed in Mr.. Flsnns-
gan's comprehensive and practical views.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-12
THE GOLD BUG PROGRAM.

II
proclaimed with a boldness and su-
dacity hitherto unprecedented, and
with an assurance that bespeaks con-
fidence in it's success. Recent writer's,
both democratic and republican, are
throwing off all disguises, and their
declarations indicate the basic prin-
ciples of their rallying cry in the new
political alignment that is certain to
take place in the near future. We
shall here present the views of repre-
sentative men upon the present
financial situation and the remedies
they propose.
Of course the views of individual
men might be passed by as of little
consequence, and their sbsurdities
attributed to the operation Of dls-
eased brains, were they not so uni
versslly endorsed by the press and
members of congress of both parties
representing the gold bng interest.
1t is the probability that the plans
they set forth will prevail, that gives
them their Importance, and renders
it imperative upon the people whose
liberties are endangered to give them
careful consideration and fully COM
prehend their import.
Ex-senator John B. Henderson, Of
Missouri, has sent a communication
to Secretary Carlisle, which is so
clear that there neeed be no mistake
as to its meaning. The opening SEN
tence Of Mr.. Henderson's letter also
clothes it with an Importance that
would not otherwise attach to it. He
says:
l Ipromised TO give you in writing the
substance of my statements made TO you in
conversation touching the monetary condi-
tion of the country.
So it seems there is a perfect un-
derstsnding that these opinions
should be promulgated, and there is
not doubt that they correctly repre-
sent the policy that seeks to control
the government.
Mr.. Henderson's ideas of political
economy may be understood from q
few paragraphs of this communica-
ton. He says:
There is no error Of more common preva-
lenoe than that the abundance Of the money
necess arily adds to the commercial or bust
ness energy Of a people. " Money
tokens do not grow wheat and corn, manu-
fscture cloth, nor operate railroads, nor
sail ships. Labor and skill do these things,
and among people entirely civilized, 95
per cent. Of the exchanges necessary in
these operations are contaminated through
the medium Of bank checks. Experience
demonstrates that this mode Of exchange is
more convenient, safer and less eXpensive;
and experience also demonstrates that these
bank facilities become enlarged or con-
tracted as money tokens become scarce or
abundant.
Mr.. Henderson seems to overlook
the fact, or if he does not overlook it,
he fails to mention it, that a bank
check is worthless without cash be-
hind it for its redemption; and, sd-
mittlng the convenience of the check

There Was Evident Cordiality of an
Unusual Kind, and Mr.. Stewart
Abruptly Abandoned His Remarks
While Yet Unoonoluded.
Washington, Sept. 7.-Rumors of an
impending and indispensable compromise
on the bill to repeal the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman act, were current
in the lobbies and on the floor of the Sen
ate to-day. The speech made by Mr..
Walthall, to whom Mr.. Stewart had
yielded the floor in a spirit of accommo-
dation, may have been an indication of
the character and direction of such a
compromise. The spirit of compromise
was prevalent in the Senate today and
was evinced in several instances.
SIGNS OF THIS SENTIMENT.
In the first place, no obstacle was in
terposed in the way of taking up the re-
peal bill an hour and a half before, the
time when it should come up as the un-
finished business. Then Mr.. Morgan in
timated that, after some conference with
the chairman of the finance committee, he
would not make motion, which he had
intended to make. to take up his resolu-
tion for tho appointment of Joint select
committee on finance Mr. Stewart S
courtesy to the senator from Mississippi
was a third instance.
STILL MORE SIGNIFICANT.
The most significant feature of the
days session took place at the close
when, Senator Daniel having given
notice that he would address the Senate
next Thursday, Mr.. Platt suggested an
earlier day, as senators hoped to have a
vote on the bill before Thursday.

1t Precipitates Red Hot Revolution
in Brazil.

New York, Sept. THE Herald's cor
respondent in Montevideo telegraphs that
the officers of the naval feet now at Rio de
Janeiro intimated to President Peixotto
that he shall resign. The feet consists of
cruisers Aquidaban, Republican and Ira
iano and three torpedo boats. The de-
mand of the officers was made by Admiral
Custodio Jose Mello The port of Rio de
JaneirO has been blockaded. News has
been received, officially confirming the re-
ports of revolt PeiXotto vetoed bill
which made it impossible for the vice
president to become president.
This enraged the naval officers, and to
this is attributed the revolt.
Word is sent from Rivera by the Her

taken place between the revoluienists
under Savanna and the government troops
under Gen. Portugal Gov. Castillo has
ordered out the troops in active pursuit
of the revolutionits, but details Of the
