NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

The Philadelphia Times says
truly that, the expectation of
gold will do no harm if it will
only force a recognition by Con
gress of the cause of this move
ment. It is a principle as we'll
established as the law of gravita-
ton that when there is a redun-
dancy of currency in any coun-
try, that portion of it that is most
valuable or most generally des
sired-that portion that will pay
debts abroad as we'll as at home
will find its way elsewhere.
While our paper currency was
confined to the three hundred
and sixty millions of greenbacks,
with such volume of national
bank notes as the banks found it
profitable to keep in circulation,
the maintenance Of a gold reserve
intended to give security to this
circulation was not a difficult
matter. The addition of tie hun
dred and ninety millions Of
Treasury notes under the Sher-
man act of 1890 overturned all
this Though the banks have
withdrawn a considerable part
of their circulation, there is still
more paper money afoat than is
required for active use. Conse~
quently the holders exchange il
for gold and send the gold away.
OF course, if business were
very active and we we're selling
large quantities of produce
abroad the currency would not
trouble US, But we should all
ways be liable to this trouble, as
we have been ever since 1890,
and we shall never get business
upon a really stable foundation
till Congress can bring its mind
to legislate for currency reform.
This is a duty that ought not to
be obscured by prattle about the
tariff, or any other irrelevant is
sue.

Acting under the advice'of Gov
ernor Culberson, the people of
Texas will make a suitable pre-
s%entation to the battleship Texas
in recognition of tie compliment
paid to the State by naming the
vessel alter it. This spirit is
commendable; but the people of
Texas should go slowly until it
is determined whether the battle
ship Texas is, in her construc~
ton, fly the flag or display tn e
service presented by any State of
the Union. The outlook at pres
ent is that she is not.
1t must be remembered that
battleships are not built as rapid
~ in this country as they are in
Great Rritain. English yards are
able to launch a Is, OOO-ton vess
sells within one year of beginning
her, and in two years she can be
put in commission. We cannot
complete one of our fighters Of
the first class in less than four
years-the delay being largely
due to the slow production of ar

that Congress should authorize
the beginning of work on half a
dozen additional battleships as
early as possible.
If Lord Salisbury keeps his
word the Turk will have to go.
He was never governed Chris

ture, which is that of a beast of
prey; his traditions, which are
those of rapine from the time of
Gilman: his religion. which is
the greed of the fire and the
sword for infdels, forbids it. So
long as the race of Amurath 60
verns Turkey, destruction and
murder will be the chronic symp-
toms of it's rule. If the Turks are

pean action, Constantinople be.

Colonel A. J. Warner, of Ohio,
is the Mark Tapley of the free
silver crowd. 1.-The elections
have benefited the cause of silver
from my point Of view" says the
cheerful advocate Of lightweight
dollars, ''for they have empha~
sized the fact that the money
power and the gold men Of the
east control both the old parties"
AS the two old parties comprise
nine-tenths of the voterssof the
country, the man who can see
victory for free silver in this
condition of popular sentiment
could extract sunbeams out of
the bottomless pit. Colonel War
ner really beats Mark Tapley as
an example of cheerfulness under
dlscouraging conditions.

Swindling ChicagO's Rich Men.

Many are the schemes invented byun-
scrupulous persons to obtain money
from rich men, who are known to be
generous, under the guise Of charity
SO great has this nuisance become in
Chicago that Il detective agency has
been established for the purpose OF
looking into such cases to see if the ap-
pllcants OF the institution they claim to
be subscribing for is worthy of it. This
agency saved the rich men of Chicago
about 100000 last year. Some of the
schemes for obtaining money are ccr-
tainly novel. One Of them is for a per-
son to rent a vacant lot, dump a load of
stone on the ground, and then go
around to some of the philanthropic
citizens and solicit money for a charita.

measure two and q half by one and

portions Of the service most used are
printed in what is known as agate type
and are readily read without a glass.
These dainty little books are usually
bound in white morocco, tipped with
gold or silver, and cost $11 upward.
They are sometimes suspended from a
chain attached to a finger ring, so that
they may be carried in this way. The
little dictionary, which contains 10000
words, is wen timer than the prayer
book. Its print can only be read by a
magnifying glass. which is convenient
