Fiat John and Napoleon.

The Topeka Capital referring to a
REFLECTOR item that John Davis will
write life CT Napoleon says This
will he an interesting task and full OF
instruction for John il he makes an
honest study Of Napoleon's career.
We all know more or less about Maps
military successes and we have read
a thousand and one attempts to
analyze his character and sum up his
career. John will scarcely add any
thing to Emerson's essay on the sub
ject, but there is one thing he should
study with peculiar interest and that
is Napoleon's convictions on paper
money Of the fiat character. We
quote for Johns benefit the following
remarks from Wolowski's article on
paper money III Lalor's Cyclopedia Of
Political Science, one Of the highest
authorities extant;
The Emperor regarded paper money
as the greatest scourge Of nations
and as being to morals what the
plague is in the physical order. The
great Copernicus wrote, in the be-
ginning Of the 10th century, upon
this important question, in a treatise
that is almost unknown; However
innumerable the scourges that ordin-
arily lead to the decline Of Kingdoms,
principalities and republics, the four
following are to my mind the most
formidable: Discord, pestilence,
barrenness Of the land and the de-
terioration of the money. As far as
the first three are concerned the evil
dence is such that no one is ignorant
Of them. But as to the fourth, II we
are to expect few men OF superior
intelligence, very few concern them
selves about it; and whyp Because
IL does not ruin the state at q single
blow, but by little, by sort Of hid
den action,
Napoleon in his generation was one
Of the men OF superior intelligence
whose financial record is full Of waltz
able lessons for his latest biographer.

yet all the time keeping the parity Of
the dollars intact. A freer coinage
Of silver, limited either by the amount
to be coined or by the American pro-
duct or protected from food OF sill
yer from abroad by a tariff on the
metal, is desirable and should be
brought about. This should be the
first experiment and the next congress
will, we believe, adopt some such
legislation. II a change to free coin
age is deemed advisable later the
step will be a far shorter one to take
than it would be now. Two metals
are better than one. Let us in get
ting away from gold standard not
Jump to an exclusive silver standard.

South Cardinals state liquor dis
pensary system is not proving a
great success ewing to the frequent
violation OF the law 1t was expected
that its profits you'd pay the inter-
est on the state debt OF sG,QQ0,000.
But the official returns show that
the entire consumption for the state
Of South Carolina Of wines and liquors
from July !, 1898, when The law
went into force, to Dec. 81, 1894, cost
only sl2792s. The liquor sold at
the dispensaries for s224,9Ol, and
there was profit Of s96.972 to the
treasury Of the state. The official
printed reports show that only $2S,-
29S worth Of whisky has been sold in
the city of Charleston during the
last eighteen mosiis. which is most
incredible, because before the DIS
pensary law was enacted more than
that was passed over the bar at the
Charleston hotel alone, The state
has x5() 600 invested in the business
and will not be a loser, though less
profit than was expected is secured.

Populists as party have no earthly
use for the Democracy and will never

may resolve for sub-treasuries, fiat
money or even unadulterated pater-

The Detroit plan Of aiding the poor

purposes is being tried in several
eastern cities. Kansas towns with
unused boom additions might adopt
it with success. In Detroit last year
several thousands Of acres were Of
fered, and about 4S0 acres $1,000 city
lots) were accepted, plowed, har-
rowed and staked off in lots Of one
quarter to one-half an acre each.
Some 5000 applications were made
for these lots, but the committee
could accept only 945, owing to lack
Of funds to buy seed and tools. The
estimated value OF the crops pro-
municipalities, beans, turnips and
other vegetables = was $4,000 to
$l4, 900, and the entire cost to the
citizens who subscribed for the pur-
pose was about $500, or an average
of S3.45 per lot. In nearly all in
stances, the work was well done, and
the results were entirely satisfactory.

simply packs his + trunk, buys ticket
checks his trunk, and receiyes in re-
turn a check. At the end OF the
journey he leaves his trunk with the
company and they in turn sell it for
o hundred dollars to the authorities
at Washington. The man who was
hard up is now worth . hundred dol
