tiOn.
1t should be studied with care
for most determined effOItS will
be made to secure its adoption at
the coming session of congress.
Prominent papers have been en-
listed in the interests of the new
proposition, and the effort will be
made to create public opinion in
its favor, while Disgusting its real
nature.
The plan is to provide a curren-
cy to be issued by the national
banks, based, not on government
bonds, but on "paid up bank capt.
tal"-such currency to be guaran-
teed ty the government.
This proposition of the national
banks might be commended for one
reason. II is the first honorable
act a. The money r0vcr in thirty
y,ms ,i financial legislation.
70 the first time in all these
yeaIs tht national banks are sail
ing under their true colOrs.
Every dollar of the money they
propose to issue will be- as gold,
because it will be guaranteed by
the government.
Every dollar of it will he as good
as a greenback, if it is made le-
gal tender, but it couldn't be any
better.
Every.dollar of it will bring usu-
ry to the money lords and impose
an obligation on the people in their
capacity as government.
For all this " hat are the people
to gain! They cannot possibly
gain anything whatever.
For scheme of robbery nothing
to compare with this has ever been
devised in the annals of history.
1t is simply astonishing that
such stupendOus steal should be
proposed and public notice given
Of the fact. This is. why we say
this is more honorable than meth
Ods adopted in the past.
1t is more honorable for a private
craft to sail under the black flag
of the buccaneers than to raise the
cOlOrs and under the guise
of loyalty plumber the msuspect-
ing victims.

The Dark Aud Yellow DAYS q
The Past.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The peculiar
haze that has been noticeable in the sky
all over the country for the last week or
so, has been matter Of great interest
to metcorologists, and many expert
ments have been going on to determine
its cause and nature.
Prof, Henry A. Hazen says: This is
what may be called the Indian summer
dry haze. Just what is the cause OF it. it
is little difficult to determine. Similar
conditions have been noticed in the past,
notably on the dark day" in 1881,
which was due to a condensed condition
of the atmosphere, probably caused by
moke. In 1881 there was another
dark day known as "yellow day
which extended from New England
to Virginia on the Atlantic coast.
The murky atmosphere has been noticed
west of the Mississippi, but is Of a differ.
ent character from that of the eastward
as that is much lighter. 1t was proba
bly, caused every year by settlement o
dust or smoke particles. The air is gen
orally qric+ nnd there is no condition
which would precipitate the particle:
causing the haze or carry them to Other
regions"
