Following M. Paul Leroy-Beaufieu's notable article in the December Forum, the January number of The Forum will contain "Some Suggestions on Currency and Banking" by MT Adolf Ladenburg, a prominent banker of New York City. As panacea for our financial ills, MT Ladenburg suggests that the banks in every city or small district combine and form sort of Clearing House Bank, and that these Clearing House Banks com bine and form State Clearing House Bank, and that the State Clearing House Banks eventually unite and form . National Clearing House Bank. He says that when this is accomplished, we would have central institution of f. nance (dealing with it's members only) which would represent all the banks of the country, and be guaranteed by them. and to 1t should ultimately be delegated all power to issue currency. It would be great central reservoir from which every little bank in the country would derive its strength to supply it's cus- toners with bank-balance money and currency, and under judicious manage ment would give confidence and sta- bility to commerce not hitherto exper- fenced is this country.

GRANGE AFFAIRS.

At the Grange meeting, December IS, and Rev and Mrs Francis and Miss Lulu Williams took the third and fourth de- grees and applications were received from w. J. Beehler and +. F. Weld. The Grange seems to have a peculiar liking for the old officers or else were afraid to branch out so as to give the newer mem- bers some of the routine work. We very much doubt the wisdom of this action. The officers elected for the third time generally were Fl. W. Andrews, master !; H. l.. Foote, overseer; E. N. Hawley, lecturer; Charles Camp, steward; A. 5. Mansfield, assistant steward; Rev E. l.. Whitcome, chaplain; F. H. Beers, treas urer; c. D. H. Kellogg, secretary; Flu gene Lake, gate keeper; Mrs c.

Mark Twain has achieved big suc- cess in his lecture tours through Austra- lis. He has been feted right and left; at Melbourne he had an official reception, and was entertained at banquet, at which the chief magistrate presided and his lectures have been financial success from the start. It is not impossible that he may be able to rehabilitate his business fortunes as the result of this round-the- world trip.

M. Leroy-Beaulieu, Q distinguished French economist, in an article in the Forum for December on "Conditions for American Commercial and Financial Su- premacy," expresses surprise that na- tion so great as Is the United States should allow It's development to be tram- melled by frequent vnd severe crises, ,and that 1t should be either unable to discern their causes or lack decision In removing them from It's path. In the opinion of this eminent foreign observer, wothings only are necessary to ensure American commercIalsand financial supremacy-the retirement of legal tender notes, and complete cessation of all attempts to ''re- habilitate" silver. M. Leroy -Beaulieu points out that the geographical position of the United States Is such that 1t can aspire to take from England, in the course of the next century, It's commer- cial and financial supremacy, but that in order to do this the dollar must be given the qualities of the pound sterling. In other words, there must be no sort of doubt that 1t Is . gold dollar. After warning Americans not to be duped by the ambiguous expressions as to bimetal- lism, indulged In by European statesmen for political effect, he calls attention to the enormously increasing output of gold and says that, in view of this fact, the bimetaliism movement is bound to col lapse. M. Beaulieu closes his article with these profoundly significant words:
 "The abandonment of notes or paper money issued by the state; the definite adoption of gold as the sole standard these are the two necessary conditions on which the United States can aecure . financial position as important a that they now hold in agriculture and indus try. On these two conditions they can some day approach and equal Great Brit ain as financial power. If, on the con- trary, they persist in their system of gov ernment paper money and in the 'sreha- bllitation" of silver, their industrial and commercial development will be tram melled and they will undergo marked and permanent experience of financial weakness.

CHRISTMAS AT CHRIST CHURCH. :.
 The Christmas eve services at Christ church were in every respect worthy of the occasion. The music under the direc- tion of Organist Gregory was very fine. The decorations of the beautiful edifice, while not as elaborate as on some other occasions, were in excellent taste and did credit to those who designed them. We think there are few prettier country churches in the diocese, than this old his- toric church. The rector preached g sermon in every respect worthy of the occasion.

CHRISTMAS AT THE CONGREGATIONAL
 The Christmas observances of the Congregational church were held on Sunday. A Christmas sermon was preached by the pastor in the morning and 8 special program of music was rem dered by the choir. The pulpit end of the church was beautifully trimmed in evergreens, with palms and plants from the conservatory of George Smith. The carols of the Sabbath school in the even- ing were unusually beautiful and the little ones did prettily their parts. The choir was enlarged and assisted by the organ and four violins. Solos were sung by Mrs Whiting and Miss Burr and a duet by Mrs Whiting and Miss Flint. Fred Fuller assisted Mrs Whiting with violin obligato. Much of the success of the musical part of the program was due to the skillful playing of the organ by MT Murphy.

 It now looks as if the trolley road was to be fact. Surveyors have taken lev- els and find but 1000 feet grade in five miles. Thus can road be built over our turnpike at much less expense than on many other highways. It is believed if the officers of the railroad and resi- dents would meet an arrangement could be made whereby material or labor would be exchanged for stock.
