NOT FAIRLY CRITICISED.

The Minneapolis Times, discussing
editorially the communication from
Hon. A. T. Ankeny published in last
Fridays G b e,seems to have been
guilty of the error common to those
who write letters for newspapers,
but from which the makers of news
papers should themselves be free. 1t
has not read carefully the subject
matter which it criticises. It's edi-
torial article is based upon the as
sumption that Mr.. Ankeny advises
an outright repeal of the tax upon
all bank circulation. We do not I'M
derstand him to have meant any
thing of the kind, and the language
of his communication is quite ex-
plicit. 1t does, indeed, suggest the
repeal of the tax on circulation; but
only, as we understand it, upon such
circulation as should be issued
against a deposit, dollar for dollar,
of government bonds. Mr.. An
keny's plan, to state it again
briefly, is to issue suffi-
cient quantity of bonds, to be
disposed of by popular subscription.
to retire the greenbacks outstand-
ing; to which the G b e added the
Sherman silver notes, that are equal
ly a menace to public credit. 1t then
provides that the place of the cur
rency SO destroyed might be filled by
permitting circulating notes to be
issued to any bank holding these
bonds, whether organized under
state or national law, to the face
value of bonds deposited with the
treasurer of the United States.
The net result Of this, it will be
seen, would be to leave the volume
of currency practically unchanged;
but to substitute money issued
against bonds, at 100 cents on the
dollar, for money issued against a
fiuctuating gold reserve, which does
not represent over twenty cents on
a dollar, even if we take no account
Of the silver certificates. Mr.. An
keny did not put this forward as
final solution Of the money problem,
but as a remedy for the evils of the
immediate present. The greenbacks
must be got rid Of at the earliest
possible moment. The public gen.

to be twenty-nine feet, and the aver

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The will

judge advocate general during the
war, was filed today The instrument
was witnessed twenty years ago by
Gems. Grant and Sherman and Mrs.
Sherman. The estate is left to Lizzie
Hines, a niece, and Josephine Throck-
Morton, a grandchild. Mr.. Holt was
Kentuckian, but for twenty-five
years lived in this city. He died here
several months ago, leaving consider
able property, but no will so far as
the most diligent search could dis
cover. Arrangements were made ac-
cordingly for it's division among his
nearest relatives. This morning the
registrar of wills received a letter con-
tanning an old. faded and partially
burned sheet of paper, which purported
to be an old will Of Judge Holt. There
was no communication ACCOMMODATING
the paper to show the sender or the
motive for sending it. Judge Holt
left between 100000 and $500. 600. The
property went into the hands of two

BEARS ON sUTToN,s CASE.

The case Of Minister Ransom has a
bearing on the case of Sutton. Ran
som was a senator from the state
of North Carolina, whose term ex-
pired on March 4, 1895. During his
term the Mexican mission was made
first-class and its salary raised from
$12,500 to $4,000 a year. After the
death of Minister Pussy, Ransom
was appointed, his nomination hav-
ing been sent to the senate on Feb.
%, 1895, and Immediately confirmed.
He continued a member of the SEN
ate until March 4, when his commits
sion was made out and signed by
the president as minister to Mexico.
Section 2, article 6, of the constitu-
ton provides that mo senator or
representative shall, during the time
for which he was elected, be ap-
pointed to any civil Office under the
authority of the United States which
shall have been created or the emol-
uments whereof shall have been in

law, refused to audit the accounts
of the minister until passed on by the

CoLoRADo,s DISGRACE.

While the attention of moralists all
over the country is devoted to the
forthcoming prize fight, and all the
machinery of the law is put into
operation to prevent it from taking
place, we think that portion of this
energy might be expended profitably
in putting an end to the disgracefuI
exhibit of Colorado's bull fights.
The bull fight, as it survives in
Spain, is considered by all civilized
peoples one of the worst surviving
relics of barbarous state of So
ciety. Americans who have attend
ed such exhibitions out of curiosity
have universally gone away filed
with a sickening disgust. No one
has ever contemplated the possibility
If restoring this bastard descend
ant of the sports of the Roman
amphitheater to a place among
American amusements
When a sort of side show that has
been set up in connection with the
Atlanta exposition, somewhat after
the fashion of the Midway Plaisance
entertainments, announced that one
Of its features would be bull fight,
public opinion was aroused so in.
Simultaneously and so justly that a
prompt quietus was put upon it,
Yet at this very moment full
f1edged bull fights are conducted in
Colorado, and the authorities are
singularly Indifferent to the fact. A
contest in which one man stands
up against another, and there is, at
least, some display of physical Prov.
eSS, and where the defeated party
gets only what he knowingly bar
gained for, is a moral and credit
able affair as compared with the
torturing to death Of helpless beasts
for the amusement of a hardened
populace. This is degrading saw
agery, and no community can afford
to tolerate it. Every citizen of Col
orado is disgraced by the inactivity
of the state authorities in this case.
If the exhibition does not come to a
sudden end by the exercise of all
the power at the states command,
Colorado will place herself outside
the pale of decency.

ALTRU1sM AND CoMMERcIALIsM.

The dividing line between altru-
ism and commercialism> is broad and
plainly seen when the subjects are
looked at by far and by large, al
though, when one comes to run it
out, he finds many cases where the
two run side by side with an appar-
ent propriety. But usually the altru-
list looks with disdain on the CONNER
Ger, and scorns the object of the lat
ter's activities as something base and
unworthy. He gives his life and
He would elevate their morals, les
sen their selfshness, stimulate their
patriotism, broaden their sympa-
thies, increase their intelligence, bet
ter their conditions in all directions.
His purposes have no association
with money save as it may be a
means to a higher end. He wants
it to facilitate his work, not to COM
pensate himself for the work He
would feel a sense of keen self-de-
basement were he to accept money
for it; making it a condition of his
efforts.
The commercer, on the other hand,
looks on the altruist as an imprac-
ticable sort of fellow, to be in
dulged in his dreams, to be endured
and, perhaps, assisted, because he is
engaged in work that is. on the
Whole, deserving, even if it fail of
practical results. To him his own
activities, whether-of mind or mus
Gle, are merchantable commodities
owned by him, constituting his cap
ital and to be used to enhance his
fortune. For them his aim is to get
the highest rate the market will af-
ford. Usually he is in trade where
the dollar mark is the universal
test; but occasionally he stands on
the border land between altruism
and commercialistm and plies his
business, sowing in the altruistic
fields that he may reap in the COM
mercial.
Evidently, from the letter of Mr..
Carpenter in the Sunday Globe,
giving his interview with Gov. Nc
Kinley, of such stuff is this apostle
of the doctrine of protection made.
Commercialism may play with him,
but it does not touch him. It may
espouse his cause for the profit it
may make, but one can believe that
he despises the motive and regrets
that the Communism of pelf' can
find gain in aiding his efforts and
the cause he holds so high and dear
One understands the man better and
appreciates him the higher to know
that he never took a dollar for any
speech made in the advocacy of his
cause. 1t is not necessary to agree
with him to do this. Utterly wrong
we conceive him to be, giving his
life to a policy that is as unsubstan-
tial as a soap bubble blown from a
pipe by a child, and thoroughly
wicked and immoral in it's ends; but
none the less this personal unselfsh-
ness, that gives time and labor and
money to the advancement of a pol
icy that he deems for the common
good, is an admirable trait So sell
dom is it found anywhere that there
is double regret when it is exhibited
in behalf of a wrong cause.
