MONEY OF GREECE AND ROME.
1.-THE Fortnightly Reyiew.1

Unlike the Greeks and Jews, the Ro-
mans were not particularly gifted with
the commercial instinct, and long re-
manned a poor and frugal people, using
a, copper coinage Silver was only in
troduced in 269 B. c., just before the
Punic wars, nor did the precious met
ads become abundant until after the
fall of Carthage, more than a century
later. Between the death of Cato,
however and that of Cicero, in the
year 40 B. c., a complete social revolt
ton took place. Treasures poured IN
from many conquered countries, the &C
foundations grew to be vast under
Julius Caesar, and under Augustus, when
the civilization eliminated, the flood
was at the full, and the currency was
made bimetallic.
Meanwhile, natural selection did its
resistless work. Masses of capital were
concentrated in the hands of those who
were economically the strongest, and a
fortune of $500 900 was thought poverty
by the wealthy Even SO late as the
Fifth century, families of the second
rank had incomes of that amount.
OF all the ways under the empire in
which moneyed capital could be en-
ployed none seems to have peen SO
lucrative as usury, for the structure OF
society Favored the Ifade O4 tHe money
lender AT home politics engulted faou-
lous sums. Mark Antony, while still
youth, owed $3.50, 600. while Caesar owed
a million and a quarter before ne he'd
an office. Added to this was the gen
eral extravaganza. "A man of moderate
fortune, like Cicero, for example, usual
Iy lived beyond his means, and was IN
constant difficulty with his creditors.
Yet Rome was comparatively a poor
field, for there the rate of interest was
not custoqnarily more than L per cent,
and was often lower. 1t was in the
provinces that the rich harvest was
reaped, for the fiscal system was so
oppressive that the inhabitants had to
have money at any price, and they
were sorely squeezed through many
generations. Verres lent at "a per cent.
in Sicily, Brutus at IS per cent. in Cy-
prus. while Seneca, who was worth
about $12OOO,OO made usurious con-
tracts in Brittany.

ROYAL SANCTION GIVEN,
Hereafter There Will he Complete
Religious Freedom in Hungary.

Hereafter There VIII BE Complete
Religious Freedom in Hungary.
Buda Pest, Dec 10.-There was a
scene of unparalleled excitement in the
reichsrath today when DR.. Wekerle, the
prime minister, announced the king Of
Hungary emperor Francis Joseph) had
given his sanction to the ecclesiastical
bills.
The members rose in a body and
cheered for several minutes.
The house rapidly emptied and the
members pressed around and congratu-
lated DR.. Welkerle and the Hungarian
minister of the interior, who had gone
to the Hobbies.
The liberals have the highest hopes
that the firm position they have main
tanned on the ecclesiastical measures
will enable them to carry out further
reforms.
The ecclesiastical bills to which the
royal sanction has been given, include
measures legalizing civil marriages, al
lowing the conversion of Christians to
Judaism, granting religious liberty to
Hebrews and removing the restrictions
with regard to the children of mixed
marriag es. In fact the bills provide for
complete religious freedom in Hun
gary. All the measures with the eX-
ception of that in regard to the children
of mixed marriages, were bitterly OPP
posed by the clericals.
Not only the Roman Catholics but the
Greek orthodox bishops fought against
the adoption Of the measures.

San Francisco, Dec. 10.-The man who
spent eleven millions Of other peoples
money, nearly wrecked a bank, and
concluded a financial operation that
startled the word. is now indicted for
making a false report of the condition
of an insurance company.
George L. Brander conducted the
great wheat deal of 1887, using the
money. the securities and the credit of
the Nevada bank, of which he was
cashier
He confessed his loot of the millions,
and now for the first time is made
public the statement of that confession
and the relation Of other facts about
the wheat deal and the manner in
which a financial panic was averted.
Brander used more San Francisco
money that did not belong ito him
without being charged with theft than
any other man who ever figured in the
history of this state as d Napoleon of
finance.
The act for which he was indicted
that of swearing that 523 shares of
stock of the State Investment and In
Surance company was 81, $40 cash on
hands a trifle compared with his
great operation in 1887. The losers by
the collapse of the State Investment
and Insurance company do not seem
to be particularly vengefu., though
some of them have held on to their
stock all the months since the inSti-
tuition was wound UP in the hope that
Brander would make good his promise
to interest sufficient foreign capital to
revive the corporal ton. Some one was
interested, however, for Detective Cot
fey did not return the warrant for
Branders arrest on Saturday until ne
had satisfied his superiors beyond ques-
ton that Brander was not within the
jurisdiction of the state court.
The inside history Of the big wheat
deal, published here for the first time,
shows that Brander put the Nevada
bank in such way that it stood to
/ lose ST, 900, 0G0 on the deal.
The day the state of affairs was dis
covered there was only about $500 left
in the bank with which ito commence
business next day. The late James
Flood, then the head of the Nevada
bank could see no way out. and decid-
ed to have a receiver appointed. The
necessary papers were drawn up, when
| the California bank came to the rescue
with $1,000, 600; ex-senator Fair had
| 81 600 to spare, and with that the
bank was enabled to tide over the
crisis.
The wheat bought by Brander was
gradually disposed of, and when the
bank finally closed up the deal, it was
found that Brander's enterprise had
cost just 81, 100000 None of this enor-
NOUS amount of money stuck to Brand
er's hands, and he was penniless when
discharged from the bank. He engineer
ed the deal merely for the glory he
thought he would obtain as a fnancier.
Flood wanted to get rid Of him and
gave him $4,000 to leave the country.
Brander did so, but came back and be-
came the head of the State Investment
company. He is believed to be in Scot
land at present.

footing, and relieving the treasury Of
its present ernbarrassInents.
In reply to Mr.. Johnson, Ecklss said
he would make the bank notes receiva-
BILE for public dues to the extent that
they represented legal tender go per
cent The government should not
lend its credit to the banks except In
so far as by its regulations, it gave the
people confidence that the notes and
their redemption was the subject of
government supervision 1t was
fact That no bank could meet
its demands and obligations if
they were all presented ait one
time Over 80 per cent Of the business
was done on credit; not cash The
question<a as to whether the banks should
hold a hard and fast line of reserve was
one for argument. 1t was possible to
judge of the future by the events of
1888 The strange thing to him was
there was no more failures last year
than in any other year. He said the
comptroller should have discretion
about throwing the bank into the
hands of a receiver after its reserve
had fallen below a fixed limit
AT 4-10 the committee adjourned I'M
til tomorrow, when Mr.. Hepburn, Mr..
White and others of New York will be
heard.

Washington, Dec Ex-senator Voor-
hees, chairman of the committee on
finance, furnished an interview today
which, in some degree, confirmed the
report which has been current about
the capitol since the beginning of the
present session, that he would seek
Legislation favorable to silver before
the final adjournment of the Fifty third
Congress. He said:
have no change of views to ex-
press. Silver is the money of the con-
lstitution, and should be continued in
the same terms that gold is, without
discrimination against either, and with
out charge for coinage.
II voted against the passage of the
famous Sherman act, and labored to
secure its repeal; not because I was the
enemy of silver coinage.
1.-THE free coinage of gold means the
free coinage of silver to my ,mind. The
plain working people have been benefit
ted in the last hundred years more by
silver than with gold, and the whining
of the sordid avarice which we hear
| now that gold is sound money, and sill
{ yer is not, has the profound contempt
of every man familiar with the deyel-
opments of his country.
'sAs to the parity of the two metals
when coined, even the small children
! of finance know that the purchasing
power of a dollar is not fixed by the
quality or quantity of the material
which composes it, but by the law
which makes it a legal tender in the
payment of debts. When silver is coin
/ ed, therefore, at the ratio of 16 to
| of gold, or at any other ratio and
clothed with the authority of law, 1T
has never failed to be on a pa with
gold in its purchasing and in its debt
paying power.
1.-THE coinage act of 1887 proved itself
a wise and safe measure, and I be-
lieve it's re-enactment now would be an
excellent thing 1 care. but little for
the attitude of foreign nations on the
subject We are not subject to their
dictation and for their disapproval we
may compensate ourselves with the ap-
prevail of our own people"
Senator VOORHEES, also announced
himself in favor of the amendment OF
the rules of the Senate so as to provide
for cloture and against further effort
at tariff legislation at the present time.

THE SHAMROCK.

The spreading rose is fair to view.
And rich the modest violets hue.
Oh. queenly tulip filed with dew,
And sweet the liIy'S fragrance:
But there's a flower more dear to me.
That grows not on q. branch or tree
liut IN the grass plays merrily
And OF its leaves there are but three
lis lreland's native shamrock.
My country's flower, I love it well,
FOR every leaf a tale can tell,
And teach the nninstrePs heart 70 swell
In praise of Ireland's shamrock;
The emblem of our faith divine.
Which blest ST. Patrick made to shine,
To teach eternal truth sublime,
And which shall last as long as time,
And long as blooms the shamrock.
Oh, Irvine a wreath of shamrock leaves!
They decked the banners of our chiefs
And Gained the Irish exile's griefs,
Our country's cherished shamrock;
The muse inspired with words of praise
The poets OF our early days,
To write in many q glowing phrase,
And sing in powerful, thrilling lays
The virtues of the shamrock.
He who has left his island home
Beneath a foreign sky to roam,
And in a foreign cline unknown.
How dear he loves the shamrock
When on the feast of Patrick's Day
He kneels within the church to pray
For holy Ireland far away.
He feels again youths genial ray
While gazing on the shamrock.
The brightest gems of the rarest flowers
That ever blooTned In eastern bowers
Possess for him not half the powers
That dwell within the shamrock;
Sweet memories, like refreshing dew,
The past with all its charms renew.
The church, the spot where wild flower:
grew.
The faithful friends, the cherished few
He left to Gull the shamrock.
Land of the west my native isle
May heavens love upon you smile,
And Danish foes that may beguile
The lovers of the shamrock;
May God forever cherish thee
In peace and love and harmony
And rank thee proud mid nations free,
Thus pray thy children fervently
For ireland and the shamrock.
Oscar Wilde IN London Weekly Sun.
