PRESS CLUB RECEPTION.
Four Distinguished Journalists the
CHESTS of the Evening.

Guests of the Evening.
The popularity which the Press Club is
acquiring was well attested last night on
the occasion of the reception to four dis
t1ngulsned journalists who are temporary
visitors IN the city. A fine representation
of the prominent working newspaper men
of the city was present, and large contin-
gent of associate members, consisting of
Judges, lawyers, physicians and other pro-
fessfonal men, also gathered to do honor to
the clubs guests.
The latter were Colonel John A. Cock
Grill, late managing editor of the New York
Commercial Advertiser, and at present en-
route to Japan as resident representative
of the New York Herald; Frederic Villiers,
artist and staff correspondent Black and
White and other English publications;
Julian Ralph, author and explorer, and at
present representing Harper's publica-
tons, and James Creelman, staff CORE
spondent of the New York World, who
has just returned from the seat of war in
China.
The reception was devoid of formality
aside from that of introducing the guests,
and the evening was spent in social associa-
ton, impromptu speeches, songs by the
Press Club quartet and others, and other
entertainments by Magician Hermann and
members of his troupe.

she can spend her time in playing music
or reading romances. AT one time the
subjugation of the husbands became so un-
bearable that they combined against petit
coat tyranny and the Government had to
interfere with the edict providing for the
Gripping of female babies feet. This was
to prevent their gallivanting. But
though most babies of the best society in
the Chinese cities are compelled by their
deforInity to stay at home they still rule
their households despotically, as is appar-
ent from the popular Chinese proverb,
"Better burn your feet than marry lady OF

Abolition of Bonds ON vessels.

A circular from the Treasury Depart
ment has just been received by Collector
Wise informing him that the Custom
house bonds heretofore required on the
issue of registers, enrollments and licenses
to vessels of the United States have been
abolished by an act of Congress approved
January 16, 1895, and that such bonds are
not to be required. Heavy penalties are
presented for masters who fail to comply
with the provision of the law. 1t does not
invalidate bonds heretofore given, and

in the direction Of the Ad5eyfiSer
editorial junta over the pardons
voted by the Council Of State.
The select little junta seems to
have partially recovered from the
fears which made the basis Of OPP
position to clemency some days
ago. Perhaps the military display
OF the government extinguisheC
the nervousness on this score. Th,
AdOerfiSsr says the Council hai
made a farce Of the punishment o
these offenders. 1t adds that the
foundation principle, whatever
that means in this connection, has
been held up as unsound. Most
people believe that principle as they
understand it has been observed,
followed and vindicated. The
strength, stability and integrity Of
this Government are added to when
the administration feels that it car
rid itself of political prisoners.

CARLISLE ON FINANCES.

These paragraphs from the speech
OF Secretary Carlisle at the annual
banquet of the New York Chamber
of Commerce cannot fail to interest
all who study finances-and every
man at least imagines himself a
fnancier:
although the amount of United
States notes is fixed at f346, 6Sl |, 900, and
the amount of treasury notes outstand
ing is a little over $40, 900. yet the
total amount that may be presented fol
RECEPTION is unlimited, because there il
no restriction as to the number Of times
the same note may be returned to the
treasury and exchanged for gold. The
fundamental vice in our currI ~ system
is the legal-tender note, redeemable in
coin by the Government and reasonable
under the law. This threatens the sta
bility of the whole volume of our cur.
rency and has caused immense losses by
fluctuations, of which it is impossible to
keep the public aware. II was never
contemplated that the Government
should convert itself into bank of issue.
The Treasury Department is simply a
public agency for the management OF
the financial affairs of the Government.
''The circulation of legal tender
United States notes and treasury notes
has a tendency to drive out of use and
out of the country the very coin in
which the Government is compelled TO
redeem them, aud it has expelled milli-
ons of dollars from our borders. No
other Government in the world is re-
quired to supply gold from its treasury
10 discharge the private obligations OF
its citizens. and no Government ought
TO be required TO do so. The fact that
the Government is required 10 borrow
money is an injury to irs credit and the
credit of its people, but the injury re-
sulting from this cause is significant
m comparison with the ruin that would
follow an abandonment of the reserve
while the notes are outstanding, for all
our currency would thus be reduced to
the silver standard.
"The theories that Government can
create money by placing its stamp upon
paper; that a legislative enactment can
make 80 cents equal to 700 cents; that
artificially inflated prices, paid in de-
preciated currency, are better for the
people than natural prices paid in a
sound currency, and various other
yagaries, are all directly attributable to
the long continued use Of legal tender.
The proposition that a promise of the
Government y pay money is money, is
rs absurd as the proposition that a
promise TO deliver a horse is a horse
The agitation for the free coinage of
legal tender silver at ratio which would
put only 80 cents worth of bullion in a
silver dollar is predicared upon the same
vicious principle"
The press of the United States in
reviewing the speech, differed only
on the utterabces as to silver.
