Those Proposed Gold Bonds.

At banquet given at Jackson, Ohio
last week, there was a sensation crea-
ted when Gen Grosvenor in referring
to the vote on the bond bill, said:
st could not we'll be said on the
floor of the House of Representatives,
owing to an unwritten law of that body,
but | will say it now-Mr. Sherman
said to an Ohio member of Congress
one day. after the defeat of the ROths-
childs- Carlisle outrage: Sixteen mil
lions Of money is good deal. 1t is a
good deal of money, whether paid in
a single lump today or distributed
100000 at time across thirty years.
But, said he, had that bill passed and
this government steered away from it's
time. honored record and adopted the
word gold in these, bonds it would
have caused the depreciation of the
present outstanding obligation of the
government in the markets of the
world within twenty-four hours more
than double S16,OO0,OOO.'
That gold bond proposition was
probably the only bill that ever ema-
mated from the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House that failed to score
majority of either party.
1t was bill that we do not like to
think of, and feel very sure that many
of those who voted for it heartily re-
joiced in its defcat.-Aberdeen ErGmi-

THE MISSISSIPPI CHAUTAUoUA.
Programme of the summer Assembly at
Crystal Springs.

Programme of the Summer Assembly at
Crystal Springs.
Arrangements have been effected
with several of the numerous workers
who will make the Chautauqua Assem-
bly, next July one of the most interest
ing literary and scientific occasions in
the history of the State.
AS one of the several popular speak
ers. the management has secured the
man who ranks pre-eminent in popu-
larity in the South. Perhaps there is
not another man in the world today
who can draw such crowds and keep
them for so long a time as Sam P.
Jones. He has just closed a meeting
in ST. Louis, where the largest audito-
rum in the city was filled for over two
weeks. And not only filled in the Or
binary sense of the term, but packed,
jammed, crowded on occasions to its
utmost capacity. The engagement of
Sam Jones for four lectures guaran-
tees success so far as attendance is
concerned. Sam comes high, but we
had to have him.
The State University of Oxford has
gone in to help US in earnest, for
Chancellor Fulton believes thorough
ly in the movement The resources of
this great school have been put at the
disposal of the Assembly. One of the
ablest, and at the same time most in
teresting and popular professors in the
University, is Prof. Jones. He will
give a series Of lectures, running
through the entire session, on Phys
iology and Geology. Geology is the
science which Chautauquans study in
this years course, and Physiology has
its place in next years course. A bet
ter worker than Prof. Jones is impossi-
BILE to have secured.
The recognized head of the great
Chautauqua Correspondence Universe
ty in it's theological department is
Dean Alfred A. Wright, of Boston,
Mass. In correspondence with one of
the chief men of the great movement,
Field Secretary Geo. NJ. Brown, whose
work is general supervision of the en-,
tire United States, he wrote: "You
cannot do better than secure Dean
Wright" And in another letter: 'He
is the best man know of anywhere"
He is dean of great theological school,
which contains in its faculty such men
as DR.. Harper, of Chicago. He will
have charge of departments Of Bible
Study, Systematic Theology and
Methods. The pastors of the State
could find no better school for the ten
days anywhere on earth.
OF course the ablest men of Missis-
sippi will be on hand to help in the
work. Bishop Galloway is expected to
grace the platform on many occasions
Rev. Mr.. Caldwell has been over to the
Holy Land, getting materials for some
capita, lectures. \ number Of the
best preachers, teachers and statesmen
of Mississippi are tentatively engaged
but as yet we are not in position to
announce them for the course. All
together, there viii be provided a rare
literary treat, unequalled perhaps any
where else in the entire South.

The inti-LOttery Act.

In the opinion OF postal officials the
anti-lOttery act passed by congress
just before adjournment will have a
far-reaching effect in suppressing lot
terry schemes in this country. It's pro
visions are expected to effectually pre-
vent the conveyance of lottery matter
between the states or its introduction
here from other countries by express
companies or common carriers.
Through limitation of jurisdiction
the United States has been required
to transport lottery and fraudulent
matter and express money orders for
investment in these schemes, and yet
been deprived of the revenues from
the postal money orders it would 9TH
erwise have received. The lottery
companies have correspondent with
those interested under seal, through
the mails and given them instructions
to use express money orders. This de-
feet will be eradicated by the author
ity given in the act to the postmaster
general to refuse to deliver to persons
who are found to be using the mails to
dcfraud any class of mail matter and
to return it to senders, marked "frau
duleut."
