CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT.
Its Validity will be Tested by James
T. leach.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Dec. 1.-The
validity of the corrupt practices act
is to he tested in the case of James
7. Beach against John 7. Chestnut,
Republican and Democratic candi-
dates for Circuit Clerk. Chestnut
was declared elected on the official
count of the ballots, and his election
is being contested by Beach, who
alleges, among other things, that
Chestnut spent more money during
the campaign than the law allows.
Chestnut has filed a statement o! his
election expenses, showing that be
paid out $500 so, while under the
law he was only allowed to pay out
for election purposes $i96.7S. The
law provides that candidates may
spend 500 for the first 5000 voters,
and 81 for each additional 100 voters
over 5000 and under $4,000. The vote
for all candidates for that particular
office is to be taken as the basis, the
preceding election to furnish the
figures.
The total vote cast for Circuit
Clerk in 1890 was 1889, and by the
statement already filed by the Dem
ocrat elected to the office this year
he has paid out 1872 more than the
law allows. Chestnut has been a
supporter of this measure known az

Alleged Ncheme Of the Alton.

MACON, Mo, Nov. 30.-Charles
J. Dubois, OF this city, one of the
engineers in charge of the construc
ton Of the grading of the old II. d
NJ. road through this state, received
a request this week from President
Blackstone Of the Chicago u Alton
for his surveys, profiles of The old NJ.
& NJ. road. From this and a recent
ly published dispatch stating that
the c. IL \. people were DESTROYS Of
securing a shorter line to Kansas
City, it is inferred the Alton is con-
sidering the advisability of utilizing
the grading ofthe old NJ e. NJ for their
new line. The rails were never laid
on the NJ. & NJ, but the grading
was completed and a large portion
Of it between here and Keokuk is to.
day in a condition to be used at a
vastly less expense than would be
required to construct a new road.
Captain Dubois is of the opinion
that the plan is a feasible one, and
Is seriously contemplated by the
Alton folks. 1t is asserted that this
would make the Alton the shortest
line between the two points. 1t
would pass through some Of the
finest farming and most valuable
coal lands in the state.

TILE CARLISLE PIN.

Referring to the solution OF the
currency problem as advocated by
Carlisle, the St. Louis Republic
closes an interesting and pointed
| editorial as follows:
Secretary Carlisle has proposed e
plan OF banking currency by which
he thinks the business OF the coun-
try will be benefited and the ciTcu-
lation Of the Governments large
stock Of silver stimulated,
Before any citizen comes to a con-
cIusion as to the Carlisle plan, he
should get it clear in his mind:
First-That a bank properly con
Quoted is Indispensable to any con-
siderable progress in commercial
civilization.
Sec0nd-That the issue of notes
for local business, o1 tie credit OF
we'll conducted banks and under
sufficient legal regulations for safety,
would supply just the deficiency in
elastic quality that We suffered from
so intensely in 1898.
Four,h-That paper substitutes
for metallic money are entirely
aside from the unit of value or the
standard Of payments, which must
be fixed by law without regard to
the kind or amount of paper notes.
Fifth-That IS per cent. of bust
ness is daHe with bank paper any
how and already.
Sixth-That u present Federal
currency is awkward, i~nelaFtic and
expensive to get and use.
Seventh-That the Government
has really nD more right to be in the
banking business than it would have
to go into the truck garden business.
Eighth-That the miners, gold
bugs and cranks have 80 ratified the
politicians that Il settlement OF the
Governments currency on a stable
and sensible basis seems impossible.
NinIh-Tha, if the Governments
currency cannot be put on a salts
factory basis the demands of bust
ness will compel an early substitu-
ton If some other deb: notes as
currency.
Tenth-That the currency will be
reformed before long; So that il this
Congress bellows itself through i
session without action, some latel
Congress will do he work.
Secretary Carlisle proposesto KEEP
all notes below 80 in the hands O
: the Government. Thus he expects
{ to utilize silver for everyday uses and
!; small transactions. He would per
, NIT banks to issue money-whict
nobody is required to use unless il
is preferred to coin or silver certiti.
; Gates.
. The only fair questions to ask are
/ whether the proposed regulations
will guarantee absolute safety ant
whether the change will cure the de
fects of our present paper currenc!
, without introducing more serious
. defects.

Attention is called to The report OF The spcre-

estimates for the increase Of the navy for the

include practically the entire sum necessary to
complete and equip all the new ships not now
