WHAT We MAY EXPECT.

The Way Is Being Paved for the Retire.
ment of Our GreenbacIk Money.
The practical admission on the part
of the president in the statement given
to the press that with his secretary of
the treasury he is busy considering
plans of financial reform is fully in
line with what was printed in late
issue of the Republic from this Office.
There have been no new develop
ments in these consultations since
then. The president has been giving
more attention to the Baltimore plan
than any other plan for the extension
of the general banking system and the
extinction of the treasury notes, and
has also been strengthened in this by
recent important contributions to
financial literature. He has spoken
very highly of an address made in July
last before the Virginia State Bar asso-
citation by Walter d. Dabney, solicitor
of claims in the state department. This
paper was on The Legal Evolution
and Status of American Paper Money"
and was largely historical. But at the
close he had this to say:
''Since the resumption of specie pay
ments the United States has continu-
its notes in coin on demand. The liza
bility to this demand is source of
constant danger. A supply of coin adj
equate to meet it must be always kept
in the treasury and, since the policy of
the government is to pay its obliga-
tions in gold, if desired, an adequate
supply of gold to meet the probable de-
mand must be constantly on hand.
This is no easy thing to do. The gov
eminent has recently had to borrow
$50, OOO. 900 to replenish its waning fund
of gold. That, too, is liable to melt
away. leaving the bonded debt of the
country increased to that extent and
the volume of notes of which payment
may at any time be demanded in gold
undiminished. Surely this cannot
be continued. If the government
must borrow, should it not
with the proceeds of the loan
finally redeem its outstanding notes
and cancel them? Should not the
monetary system be abolished which
imposes on the government the duty of
redeeming in coin on demand the paper
currency of the country? The result
of this system, as is now being demon
strated, is to force the government to
constantly increase its bonded indebt-
edness to maintain the fund of coin for
the payment of its notes, which, since
they are Immediately reissued, remain
undiminished in amount, calling for a
constant repetition of the process.
Should not the function of providing
adequate paper currency for the coun-
try, and of redeeming it in coin on de-
mand be confided exclusively TO private
enterprises, of course, under the strict
supervision OF the government, and
under such requirements of law rs to
make the redemption of paper issues
in coin perfectly safe.-Wasningson

BY Mistake Natural Gas Was Given High
Pressure in Low Pressure Mains.
SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Nov. 24.-By
mistake the natural gas was given high
pressure in the low-pressure mains and
at midnight it was discovered that over
500 stoves and heaters, in all parts of
the city, were melting under the in
tense heat and buildings were being
ignited. The fire alarm was turned in,
bells were rung, whistles sounded and
the citizens were aroused. The flow
of gas was arrested and only three
houses burned. This discovery of the
flames were timely and fortunate, for
if the alarm had been 20 minutes later
no power on earth could have saved
the city from total humiliation.

that the Chen-Yuen, in leaving Wei

cidentally struck torpedo. She was
beached, but was rendered useless for
lack of docking facilities. In despair
at the catastrophe the commander,
