Mr.. Dingley OH The

Representative Dingley of Maine.
speaking of the agitation in favor of the
new banking bill said GAN the bust
ness men of the country who are in
favor of such modification oi the M
tional bank system, rs will MAKE its
circulating notes elastic or responsive
to business demands" "'rhey want this
circulation issued by banks said Mr.
Dinyley, "undrr national authority and
national supervision, uniform through
out he country and are utterly opposed
to any scheme off state bank whether
associated with national banking as pro
posed by Mr.. Carlisle or separate as
proposed at the last ession Of Con
gress."
"a fatal defect of Ca isles plan is
that it Undertakes to unite the state
banks with the national bank circula-
ton, and even dscriminates against
bank circulation by providing for tax
upon notes issued by the national banks,
and exempting notes issued by state
banks from such t; or any supervis-
ion of the national authority It's
encourag,ng to notice." he continued
that the Democratic administration has
declared its adhesion to the sound policy
OF relying upon bahk clrcuiatloh out
sile of coin to secure the necessary
elasticity of II circulating medium.
"Do you think were tarisle's plan to
come before Congress in the form of 4
bill it would pass?'
II can't say" replied Mr.. Dngley
shaking his head doublfully, "lls stat,

port from Southern members especially
and in fact from all representatives who
believe in such banking SYSTEM

A New Method of Capturing
Train Robbers,

In addition to the means OF protection
already suggested, let me mention an
other. and that il the use OF dogs trained
to follow men; and while ON this subject
let me correct a misrepresentation preva-
lent throughout the North, that these
dogs are bloodhounds. doubt if there
are half dozen bloodhounds in the
| United States, or that any has ever been
used in pursuit of fugirives, except in
the fable of Uncle Toms Cabin. The
dogs used are the ordinary foxhounds ;
these will follow trail, hut they will
not attack the fugitive. They only indi-
cate his route of flight, so that parties
, following on horseback can come up
with him. Most of the peniteniiari"s in
the South keep these dogs, As do the
managers of convict farms and camps.
The Cuban dog is IA fierce. intractable
dog. and have never known of its use
la pursuing II fugitive, nor are they USE
full rs hunting dogs. The English blood
hound, Oh the contrary, is noble dog
gentle, sagaeious, and ailrctionate. In
the famous picture by Iandscel, called
"Dignity and Impudrncc," he is well
portrayed, aud though it is said that in
the olden time he was used IN England
to track human beings, he is now not
called on for that purpose. Your read
ers are doubtless familiar with Walter
scott $ story of the pursuit of Sir will
/ liam Wallace by one Of these dogs, and
the manner In which he escaped have
used both the Cuban and English blood
! hound in hunting, and while the former
, was generally worthless for this purpose,
the latter was valuable. The hounds
now used for tracking men, when proper
" trained, will take and follow n trail
twenty-four hours old, and in some cases
even colder one. If, in those parts OF
the country where robberies of trains
occur most fr' quently, couple OF good
dogs could be kept at each of certain
selected stations, even il the distance be-
tween such points were hundreds OF
miles, whenever II train is held up the
dogs could be summoned by wire. and in
IA few hours they would he on the trail
of the robbers. The expense eniailed on
the railroad companies In carrying out
this plan would be comparatively light
and the experiment might prove sue

letters on the subject which go into the
matter of road building, modern horse
manship, and the like, with quotations
from Virgil and anecdotes of accidents
that happened half century ago. OF
late there have been many letters con-
corning the lynching of Negroes in our
Southern States, and here again John
Bull, with his ponderous disregard of
the fact that he knows nothing at first

of his superficial omuiscience, Not
only the more serious weekly but also
the daily newspapers give one the I'M
preston that they feel themselves to
some extent responsible for the contem-
porary auditing of the accounts of the
Day of Judgment. On the other hand,
the betterelass English newspapers do
not indulge in rash suggestions, hasty
congratulations, uncertain guesses at
probable future happenings. and the
daily exploitation of the personal affairs
of notorious nobodies. And one may be
permitted to say ditlidently that perhaps
this is preferable. II MIR. Balfour, for

bearing a lighted taper to be stuck in the
top of it. The hidden ring is found with
much sport. and all drink the wassail

wines and spices, but freshly foaming
cider taken through straws or the stems
Of new clay pipes. And then the whole
