In the House on Thursday the venerable
ex-Speaker Grow proposed that instead
of retiring the greenbacks by issuing bonds
for them. as recommended by the Pres
ident IN his message. national banks be
permitted TO deposit them and also
silver certificates. in exchange for
circulating notes. receiving $40 in notes
for every 500 so deposited. the green
backs and silver certificates 10 be cancell-
ed as fast as deposited.
This is the first suggestion looking to-
ward removing the greenbacks from the
circulation that has been made in this
congress. and there is no prospect that
it will be adopted. No attempt TO get
rid Of the greenbacks is likely. to be sue
cessful. 1t is stated. and the statement
is probably correct. that the republicans,
populists and silverites are all opposed
TO cancelling the greenbacks. The idea
that by means Of the greenbacks the
government is getting something for moth
ing is so firmly fixed in the minds of the
people. and particularly Of congressman,
that nothing less than a financial dis
aster Of immense proportions. directly
traceable TO the greenbacks, will dislodge
it. 1t is probable that the President did
not expect that congress would adopt
his recommendation, but he must have
thought that it would become an issue in
the campaign Of 1896, and would be so
thoroughly discussed that the people
would see the wisdom of it,
1t seems strange that public men are so
welded TO the greenbacks. in view of the
fact that when they were issued they
were regarded as necessary evil, TO be
tolerated only until the government was
in a position to retire them. If the ar
gument against them when they were is
sued was convincing, it is not less convinc-
ing now.
one of tho reasons why Wall street
fnanciers are against the retirement of
the greenbacks is probably that without
them there would be no way to compel
the government to furnish gold when
needed for export. When gold was needed
the banks would have to be depended
upon for it, and it might cost something
to get it. Wall streets opposition, there
fore. is wholly selfish
well known Washington correspond
ent says that the ignorance displayed by
congressman of the principals and details
Of the governments currency system is
humiliating. We are not prepared to say
whether or not this is a fair statement.
but it is certain that congress is showing
a lamentable lack of ability to get the gov
eminent out of it's financial difficulties
ference is a fair one that they don't know
what to suggest

The big newspapers of Massachusetts
seem to regard Congressman Barrett Of
that state as mighty small potatoes The
Boston papers speak disparagingly of his
attack upon Ambassador Bayard, and the
Springfield Republican refers to him as
a red-fire statesman bent upon attracting
attention to himself. Barrett, it seems
from the statepents of the papers of his
state, is one of those Smart Alec
sort of fellows, with more cheek than
brains, who are determined that nobody
shall do or say a smarter thing than
themselves.

1t does not appear that the legislature
took much notice of the governors spe-
cial message with regard to lynchings
The executive, with commendable vigor.
sounded a note Of warning to the effect
that lynchings must be stopped, and that
it was the duty of the legislature to
find way TO stop them. He made GER
tain suggestions with regard to what he
thought it would be advisable TO do in
the way of legislation. But the lawmak-
ers, in their eagerness TO pass local bills,
ignored what the governor said. The re-
suit is that the governor, and The other
officers of the law, are as much lacking
in authority to deal with the lynchers as
they were before. This state Of affairs
is greatly to be regretted.

1t appears that there are catfish and
catfish. The common opinion with regard
to the catfish is that he is a sneaking,
good for nothing, low bred fellow; that
he grovels in the mud and has no am
bition TO rise above the station
of a scavenger. The idea of a
trout associating with a catfish, to
the uniformed mind, is preposterous.
One might as well think of Col. Tom
Ochiltree or the Duke of MARLBOROUGH
keeping company with a tramp. as to
think of an aristocratic speckled beauty
occupying the same pool with a catfish.
But our esteemed contemporary. the AL
bany, Ca, Herald. which is an authority
on fish. as we'll as on hog. hominy and
hay, informs seekers after enlightenment
in piscatorial matters that there are social
sets among catfish, so to speak, Just as
there are among men. The Kinchafoonee
and Muckalee creek catfish. according to
thought a scavenger. He is an aristocrat
and will rise to a fly, while ignoring a
bait of fat meat. He inhabits swift run
ming water. He is an athlete, and would
as soon climb a cascade as jump thrice
his length out of the water for dragonfiy.
AS to gaminess on the hook; well. the
Kinchafoonee cat would be an antagonist
worthy of President Cleveland's best art.

No statement From MIR. Baynrd.

Ambassador Bayard will not attempt to
excuse the utterances which are the basis
Of Representative Barrott's Impeachment
resolution. He is satisfied that he has said
nothing for which fair-minded Americans
would call him to account, though it is
not improbable that the House, for par
tisan purposes, will adopt a mild resolu-
ton Of censure. The only thing in respect
to the impeachment resolution that Mr.
Bayard has said is that he does not think
those who voted for the resolution have
read the addresses which they construe
TO be offensive. In other words, in Mr.
Bayard's opinion, those who voted for the
resolution did so without knowing wheth-
er. even from their point of view, he
had said anything for which he ought
to be condemned. They acted wholly in
a partisan spirit, showing a willingness to
do an injury merely with the expectation
of gaining a partisan advantage.
Representative Barrett, the originator
of the resolution. has succeeded in getting
his name and picture in the newspapers,
and is probably satisfied with the notori-
ETY. he has acquired The comments on
his action cannot, however give him much
satisfaction if he is at all sensitive. Even
the republican newspapers of New Eng
land speak of him in a way that indicates
a lack of respect for him. He has in
1uence with an element of the republicans
of Massachusetts. but the republican
leaders of that state, and the better class
of republicans, desire apparently to have
as little to do with him as they possibly
can. He is a self-assertive and cheeky
sort of man. who regards politics as a
means of gaining personal ends. As a
managing, trading politician he is a sue
cess but he isn't the kind of a man to
gain and retain the respect of the people.

Senator Brce is reported to be one of
a number of American capitalists who
have obtained a concession to build a
railroad in China from tidewater to Pekin.
1t is just possible that the senator may re-
move his residence to Pekin-it is said
he will leave Ohio-and take a hand in
Chinese politics. Should he do so, it would
be altogether reasonable to expect to
hear from him in few years as wearing
a yellow jacket and any number of pea
cock feathers. For when the senator sets
out to achieve anything in the way of
politics, he does not mind the cost. And
it is said that the "son of heaven and
his court dearly love to exchange titles,
decorations and honors for cash.

The populists are TO put up a ticket for
the Offices Of the Senate when that body
is reorganized. Tom Watson Of this state
is on the slate for secretary Of the Sen
ate. He will come just about as near to
getting the place as he did to getting the
seat in the House for the Tenth Georgia
district. The populists in the Senate may
have the idea that by nominating the
Georgian they will give him a boost to
the end Of making certain the fee from
congress for the prosecution Of his con-
test against Maj. Black.
Savannah merchants who have laid in
a stock Of fireworks for Christmas are in
a pickle. They do not know precisely
whether they have done a wise thing or
not. There is some doubt as to where
fireworks may be exploded this season.
If the displays are to be confined to the
extreme southern section Of the city, the
market for fireworks will be consider
ably curtailed. In this matter, however,
the merchants should have advised them
selves before purchasing their stocks.
The contradictions of herself of which
Barbara Aub. of the now celebrated New

was and Miss Aub is the victim of hyp-
motto influences.

DEAR sR:-My attention has been
called to the fact that there are several
building associations doing businoSs IN
your district, which have made no re.
turn OF property for taxation for several
years past; aud am advised that you
have not required them to make the re-
turn required by law.
These corporations are liable to taxa
ton Us other persona and corporations
are. Aud therefore beg leave to adj
wise you that 1t Is your duty to require
Of all building associations in your dis
trict the proper return.
The question oil fact as to whether
any Of them have any property liable to
taxation will be disclosed by the re-
turns. Very respectfully,
john A. HowARD,
Pros. Attorney.
The real issue still remains unSolyed,
however. What are the building asso.
Citations to DO taxed on? II share
holders pay on their shares, and any
real estate owned or held by the assoel'
alton is taxed, as il always has boon, the
question naturally arises, as has been
suggested by many people interested in
the local building associations. what else
Is left 10 tax?
