The Louisville Courier-Journal feels
called upon to deny the statement that
the drain upon the gold in the treasury
is due to a deficiency of the revenue. 1t
goes on to say:
1t is not necessary for the Secretary Of
the Treasury TO take gold out of the treas
ury to ray current expenses, because he
has and has had plenty of other money for
OF gold in redeeming the greenbacks and
Sherman notes. and every one of these
notes is required by law to be reissued. III
he would undoubtedly need either an In
crease of revenues or authority TO issue
bonds for their redemption: but this is not
the case. The redemption OF notes IN gold
makes no difference in the amount OF
money in the treasury.
Where does "the plenty of other money
to pay current expenses" conn from!
Let the Courier-Journal answer. He
has used many millions of gold in re-
and every one of these notes is required
by law to be reissued.'' says the Courier
Journal. That is, s125, 600, 900 of gold,
more or less, which has been used to re-
deem ~greenbacks and other treasury
notes. and the s125. 900. 900 of greenbacks,
etc. redeemed have been paid out again
for current expenditures. Thus indirect
ly the administration has drawn upon
the gold i'm the treasury to keep the gov
eminent in operation. Furthermore, the
Courier Journal gives the impression that
the Secretary of the Treasury is COM
PEELED to pay out the once redeemed
greenbacks. That is. if the receipts OF
the treasury from the revenue laws were
sufficient to meet current expenses the
Secretary must. in some manner, re-
issue the once redeemed g~reenbacks first.
There is no such requirement. If the
revenues of the treasury were ample to
meet current expenses these redeemed
notes could be held in the treasury, n
when forty or fifty millions were so held
the amount in circulation would be SO
reduced that there would be no free
g~reenbacks to be presented for redemp-
ton in gold. But with an expenditure
ing the eight months which ended with
August. the greenbacks redeemed with
gold must be paid out to keep the wheels
of the government moving.
The Courier-Journal contradicts itself
when it says that 1.-The redemption of
notes in gold makes no difference in
the amount of money in the treas
ury." These redeemed notes are turned
into the treasury. as the CD. intimates
when it says that the law requires their
reissue, and that If their issue was not
required the Secretary would need
either an increase OF event or author
ity TO issue bonds" Probably more than
half of the 1913. 600, 900 of current funds in
the treasury must consist OF the re-
deemed ~greenbacks and treasury notes.
But for these notes. derived indirectly
from the reserve. the treasury would
ave been empty over a year ago. if, as
the CD. says, the Secretary had not been
authorized to borrow money in some
form or the revenues had not been in
creased. The trouble is due to the pres
ent revenue laws.

Major Quinn, United States engineer in
charge of lighthouses in the New Orleans
district. is authority for the statement that
the land along the coast of the Gulf OF
Mexico. and, as he believes. throughout
the delta of the mississippi river and in
Guiding the site Of the city of New Or
leans is slowly subsiding. If. as he says,
the level of the gulf has risen one foot
since 1877 the rate OF subsistence is rapid
enough to excite some apprehension as To
the ultimate result. II the coast is sinking
at the rate OF a foot in less than twenty
years it will not be a very long time be-
fore portions OF Louisiana now Inhabited
will have to be abandoned. The city OF
Now Orleans could not stand much sink
ing. Even now II Is so low that graves
cannot be dug for the burial of its dead.
II Major Quinn Is right. and government
engineers are not apt to be mistaken in
such matters. the next fifty or hundred
years may witness great changes In that
portion Of the country.

A London paper publishes an interview
by its correspondent with the Prime Min
lister OF Spain in which he acknowledged
that the government had already sent
over $4,000 soldiers to Cuba and had just
called out 10000 more conscripts. He
further stated that all the available
ships of the Spanish navy were now in
Cuban waters, and that twenty-six
more light war vessels would soon be
added to them All this vas said to
prove the firm determination of the
spanish government to suppress the re-
bellion. but 1t also proves the strength
Of the rebellion itself.

visit Of several months to Europe. dur

the immigration problem at its source.
His Investigation convinced him that
there are three classes OF European i'm
migrants to the United States who are
very undesirable, viz, Italians. Hun
garians and Russian Jews. As to the
1tarans, he says there is no oub what

The resolution adopted by the National
Association of Retail Liquor Dealers.
now in session, relative to disreputable
resorts Is so remarkable that special at
tention should be called to it. 1t reads
as follows:
We emphatically denounce all Illicit and
disreputable resorts which may be tolerated
for any purpose, because they propagate
drunkenness and debauchery among the
youth OF the community. desecrate the Sab
bath and cast an odium on the legitimate
trade. and We. therefore, pledge ourselves
to assist In their suppression.
If the better men in tho business could
effectively organize o the basis Of
the foregoing resolution they would re-
move much of the opposition of which
they now complain. Tho large part of
the people who do not patronize the
saloon judge them all by those disrepu-
table resorts-the nasty and vile places
which are licensed just the same as those

The announcement that a new river has
been discovered in the British possessions
FIVE hundred miles long. averaging a mile
in width and navigable for a long dis
lance, shows that the surface OF the globe
still has some undiscovered secrets. Few
persons realize the extent Of that portion
of the British possessions which Is as yet
unexplored. The entire Dominion OF Can
ada contains 3.457.oO square miles, about
one-sixteenth of the land surface OF the
globe. of which 100000 square miles are
still unorganized territory. The river re-
Gently discovered is said to be the sixth
largest in the world and its further ex-
ploration offers an attractive field for per-
sons fond of sport and adventure.

proprietor of the Chicago Tribune, to erect
a bronze statue of Benjamin Franklin in
Lincoln Park. In his letter, making the
offer. Mr.. Medin says: Franklin is un-

est men our country has produced. His
name and fame are worldwide. His works
will be of everlasting benefit TO his coun-

I have deemed 1t a personal duty to help

handsome as art can make II. and with its
pedestal, will cost about $4,000.

money of ultimate redemption and equally

The fr~ee-coinage delegates made a des-
perate effort to have 16 to l substituted
for "a ratio to be agreed to-" but failed
by a vote of more than two to one. Not
satisfied with such a defeat. the free
silver delegates offered a minority re-
port from the committee on resolutions
which called for free coinage at the ratio
of is to l. After a fierce debate the
words "a ratio to be agreed to- were

diak with furs for the North American
Commercial Company. Captain Bowen
says the United States commissioner Al
st. Pau has attempted the task OF pre-
venting the natives from drinking siwash
beer, which they manufacture from sugar
water and hops. Judge Edwards's remedy
Is the imposition of ffty-dollar fines for
getting drunk. The Indians all worked at
gathering sea otter during the season. and
they all came home with lots of money.
There are but four hundred souls IN the
settlement and the fines have almost gone
around by this time. so that the govern

separately, though open to all, with the
privilege Of allowing the memoers or other
denominations to ask any questions they
may see fit. No reference Is made to the
Worlds Religious Congress in particular.
and neither is there a word that can be
termed derogatory to the great convention.
The document is typewriter, in Latin, and
addressed to Mgr. Satolli. 1t simply states
that the knowledge of such conventions has
come to the knowledge of the Pope. and
he expresses the conviction that it would
be better for Catholics to meet separately.
Following is a translation:

silence, 1t would, nevertheless, seem more
advisable that the Catholics would hold
their conventions separately. and that lest
the utility of these conventions should re-
suit simply in their own benefit, they might
be called with the understanding that the
admittances shall be open to all. including
those who are outside of the church.
While We consider II incumbent on your

this to your knowledge, We are also pleased

WASHINGTON, Oct E.-Mgr. Satolli and
the officials OF the papal delegation here
were astonished to see to-day in the WASH
ineton Times the alleged text OF a letter
from Pope Leo felicitating the American
churches and commencing the success OF
Mgr. Satolli's mission. Dr. Rocker, secre-
tary to the delegate, authorizes the state
ment that the alleged Pope'E letter is a
fake" No such letter has been received.
The only manner in which the fake let
ter can be accounted for by the officials Is
that II was an effort to present another let
ter treating on another subject. The SUBJ
stance of this actual letter from the Pope
was given yesterday In a dispatch from
Philadelphia. The letter condemned Con-
crosses of religion such as that held at
the worlds fair at Chicago. Such a dec
laration from the Pope was one Of the
most important utterances on American af-
fairs in recent years. 1t was received by
Mgr. Satolli about the time OF the recent
assembling here of the Catholic archbish-
ops. and a copy was furnished each CT
them.
