President Cleveland to Deal With the
Currency Question.

1t is stated in New York on excellent
authority that President Cleveland in
tends 10 devote a considerable part of
his forthcoming message to Congress to
the consideration of the currency uues-
ton; that he proposes, in fact, to take
hold Of that subject in the same vjgor-
our way that he took hold Of the Tariff
issue in 1887, and that he hopes to he
able, during the remainder of his Adj
minlstfation, to bring about a great
reform OF the currency system 1t is
believed that the President has looked
closely into the" Baltimore plan"recent-
iy approved by the American Bankers
Association, and that the result of his
study is in the main favorable to it. A
bill providing for such bill was intro
dnced at the last session by Congress
man Coombs, of Brooklyn, and it is still
pending in the House.
There are two or three radical
methods of dealing with the currency
question" ;" said fnancer last week
"One i to make the banks the sole
issuers OF money, to retire the present
outstanding Government notes and to
issue in their place low interest bear.
ing bonds which shall be taken by the
banks and deposited with the Sub
Treasury as security tor new notes to
BE- issued by the banks. The Baltimore
plan. a. is well known, provides that
banks subject to national inspection
shall be authorized to issue notes to
the amount of One-half of their unim
paired capital, without any deposit of
| bonds, by contributing to a guarantee
fuLd. The issue could be increased to
three-fourths of the unimpaired capital
! on payment of a tax that would be
! prohlbltlve except in times OF great
stringency. Both Of these plans-and
it would be possible to combine them
INTO One-are in the direction of the ab-
| OlitiOn OF Government currency and the
issuance of notes only by the banks
But it is probable that a majority OF
the people would prefer that there
should be Government money only.
and if that policy should be adopted it
might be best to accept the plan pre-
! sented in 1878 by Treasurer Spinner in
a report to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and afterwards so persistently ad
vOcated by Congressman w. D. Kelley
of Pennsylvania. This provided for
the issuance by the Government of an
adequate issue of low interest bearing
bonds. which could be instantly con
verted into legal tenders, at the option
of the holder. Whenever money was
over plentiful could be converted into
bonds again, and when there was an
unusual demand it could be obtained
by anybody by presenting the bonds tC
the Treasury There could be nc
money panic under such system.

Voting by Machine.

Among the important changes intro
duced in New York by the adoption of
the Amended Constitution at the recent
election is the removal of that section
of the old instrument which required
that elections should be by ballot"
This action permits the introduction of
the voting machine, which has been
successfully tested at various places in
the State, if the Legislature provides
the necessary legislation. The attitude
of the New York press toward the pro-
posed adoption to the voting machine
is exceedingly friendly. In fact the
extensive test To which the machine
has been subjected seems to establish
to the point of demonstration that the
device would be, in the long run,
much cheaper method of voting than
the Australian ballot system, which
has become the vogue in many States,
| and that il is more accurate and con.
venient than any voting system which
! has been on trial in this country.
When the Australian ballot system
was adopted in Pennsylvania it became
necessary in many counties to increase
the voting divisions two and three fold.
A single voting machine has recorded
without error thousand votes at one
election, a capacity for registering
votes, which would allow a very de-
cided reduction of election precints,
with the consequent saving of rent,
service of election officers, cost of print.
ing tickets and the incidentals which
swell the cost of elections to large fig
ures in the aggregate. The appliance
requires but one booth at each election
place, and will accomplish as much in
q given period as ten or eleven booths
under the present New York system.
According to the estimate of the New
York Sun, more than 500, 900 could be
saved yearly by the use of the machine.
During the time it has been tried in
certain town elections it has recorded
hundred thousand votes, 1t is said, with
entire accuracy.
The device counts the vote as it Is
recorded by the voter himself, and the
result is known Immediately at the
closing of tho poll. The advantage OI
this TO the press and to the public,
anxious to secure election intelligence
at the earliest possible moment, Is
obvious. The most trying, tedious and
responsible work of election officers
sets In after the voters duty has been
performed.
Voting by machine would furnish
much greater secrecy to the voter thar
anv system now 10 use. He can vote
"straight" or for individuals by simply
pulling a lever, and he can cast bp
one vote, for the act OF voting TOR on'

Fixing a States Capital.

The defeat of the Anaconda million
aire who spent half of one of his mil
lions at the last election in trying to
make the city of Anaconda, of which
he is the chief owner, the capital of the
State of Montana, has made Helena,
the successful rival of Anaconda, de-
liriOus with JOY. The millionaire had
hired flaming orators and the best Of
brass bands to sound the glories of An
aconda, and they had made the whole
State ring. He retained" half the
lawyers in Montana to prove that
Anaconda was the political, if not the
geographical, centre of the State. He
started newspapers to boost it up, and
own expense. The excitement was
tremendous, and shouts of Anaconda"
were heard from the Bitter Root
Mountains to the Little Missouri river.
The men of Helena were in despair for
a time; hut at last they adopted the
euemV's tactics, raised an auti-Ana-
conda fund, hired pro- elena orators
and bands. aud loaded all the prOcur-
able Helena wagons with anti-Ana-
! conda papers. Never before was there
such an uproar in the StubtOe State.
Nobody seemed to care anything about
| the candidates for Congress and the
Legislature, or about Democracy or
Republicanism. The Overshadowlng
issue was the Stubtoe capital. At the
election the dude city of Helena won
the dav against the slouch hat city OF
Anaconda. Helena is thrice as big as
Anaconda. Helena's pretty houses are
better than Anaconda's unpanted
shauties Helena has three or four
nabobs to Auaconda's single million
aire. Helena has been the capital OF
Montana ever since it became a State
five years ago. The name of Halena is
as romatic as that of Anaconda is hid
eOus. Let Helena hold the honOrs oi
