Boycotting National Banks.

Grand Master Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor has published a
manifesto advising members of the
order and also all other persons
opposed to the domineering policy
of these banks to boycott national
bank currency, that is, refuse to
receive it in payment of obligations
after September list. National
bank currency unlike greenbacks,
is not legal tender from the banks
to the people but is redeemable in
greenbacks by the government
when presented at the sub-treasury
by the banks. The banks say they
laugh at Sovereign's threat, that if
carried out would only contract the
currency to the amount of $211,-
100000, that being in round num-
bers, the amount of national bank
currency in circulation, that the
banks would present their currency
at the U. S. Treasury and conduct
their business with greendacks,
silver certificates, coin etc.
There is another side to the
question which the banks abstain
from presenting. If this boycott
ofSovereign's were enforced rigidly
it would bring the banks into as
bad repute almost as the old time
wild cat banks whose currency be-
came terror to the people and
public opinion would soon be sus-
picious that something was wrong
with the banks and that they were
dangerous institutions. Not being
any too well informed on bank
matters the general ignorance would
add to the increasing prejudice
against the banks, which would
speedily fall under popular con-
demnation. The banks pretend
they would laugh at this proposed
boycott if enforced, that it could
not hurt them and so forth. But
their laugh would more likely be
that of the boy in the apple tree
when the farmer began to throw
stones in place of grass. If breath
of suspicion can be raised against a
bank it threatens ruin to the in
stitution. Not a bank can exist if
the people refuse to deposit their

GERM THEORY MAKES EVERY
BODY TIRED.

The germ theory has been carried for
ward another step. Frankly, we are tired
OF microbes; but it is the fashion to have
them and to believe in them, and the thing
that cannot be explained by evolution or
bacilli is quite beneath contempt. We are
wondering whether the final discovery will
be an evolution. But the new step, to re-
turn to that, is scientific and approving
essay in Modern Medicine" on the 'germ
of old age" We are told that an Italian
bacteriologst proclaimed the discovery of
one few years ago and that the announce
ment, secuted then by scientific men, has
now proved to he really true-or at least
scientists, the writer of the essay and some
Others, have become convinced that there
are old age germs. so that the Italian might
truly have seen one!
The essay is so replete with scientific
terms, long words, and physiological data
that it looks extremely learned, and we
have had some difficulty in wrestling from
it the germs are absorbed from the alimen
tary canal; that diet of animal food is
most favorable to their existence, and that
they devote themselves-the pestiferous
little beasts-to causing degenerative
changes in the joints, the liver, kidneys and
other organs Now, wouldn't we like to
catch one of them. No doubt dozen of them
are saving away at our ''in'ards'' now,
and we can guess what jollifcation they
always have on New Years As we close
our eyes and picture our little assassins
they look to us like tiny Brownies with
long gray boards, and saws, and pickaxes,
and horrd grins and leers And how dis
comforting is the thought that they are al
ways working, and are celebrating our
birthdays with fendish glee when we per-
suade our friends and ourselves to forget
them! Bother the microbes 1t would
have been pleasanter to think that age was
simply wearing-out than a germ disease.

BEEF AND SUGAR.

Dispatches from Antwerp state that the
Belgian Government has Prohibited the
importation of live cattle from the United
States into that country, on the ground
that pleuro- pneumonia is prevalent here
The dispatches say nothing about dressed
beef: but, according to a leading Chicago
packer, who ought to know, this action,
together with that previously taken in
other countries, practically closes all ports
Of Continental Europe to American cattle
and dressed beef, as most of them have
been closed to importations of dressed beef
and canned goods for some time. The
blow to the cattle business of this country
is serious one, for the European markets
have taken millions of dollars worth of
American beef every year, and the stop
page of the trade will throw many people
out of employment, beside crppling the
grazing and pasturing interests very
seriously.
As it is declared by DR.. Salmon, chief of
the Bureau of Animal Industry, that there
has been no pleurO-pneumonia in this
country for two years and that the action
taken by foreign governments is based on
false claims and mere pretexts, it is evid-
ent that there must be some other reason
for their unfriendly attitude, and that
reason is easily found in our new tariff.
That tariff has had marvellous success as a
destroyer OF value and dsturber of con-
fidence. 1t not only reduced the wages of
American workingmen and the profits of
American merchants, but destroyed a
rapidly growing American export business
with our Southern neighbors, and now it
seems, it has antagonized the nations of
Europe and crippled our trade relations
with them; for it is conceded that the
embargo against American beef was placed
under the lead of Germany, in retaliation
for our discriminating duties against
sugar
To state the cause of the trouble is to
point out the remedy. We need not waste
time in arguing fictitious issue with these
nations; we cannot afford, and do not de-
sire, to declare war upon the combined
forces Of continental Europe, and we are
already taking such strict precautions
against pleuro-pneumonia that nothing

BEDLAM LET LOOSE.

His name is Sibley, and he halls from
the Erie District of Pennsylvania, the
Demo-populistic sentiment of which, this
amiable specimen of an up-to-date Con
gresham is supposed to represent
Brimming over with bile, he got the floor
in Congress on Monday, and never even in
the history of this distracted and pitable
assemblage, has it so nearly measured up
to the full standard of a modern Americal
political bear garden
Throwing decorum and dignity to the
winds, he launched his vulgar epithets at
the devoted head of the President, until
decency stood abashed, and charlatanism
ran riot
The spirit of the coarse language of the
rampant Democrat soon infected the House,
and echoing applause from the threats of
his claquers resounded through the hall,
which a correspondent thus describes
''He turned the House of Representatives
into disgraceful mob. He assailed the
President of the Uuted States in language
so foul that it would disgust the midnight
followers of the notorious American Judge
"Lynch."
Unfortunately for the dignity of the
House and the American people Sibley
had a small following of claquers, who
gathered around him. The coarser and
more repulsive his language, the louder
they applauded him. This irritating spec
tacle, an outrage upon the decOrum of the
House, provoked double scene of disorder.
When Sibley began to apply foul epithets
to the President and members of both
parties who felt that the dignity of the
House was being grossly invaded, de-
handed order This demand was met by
the Sibley clique with misses. The result
was condition of confusion such as has
rarely been witnessed.
1t was, in fact, mob on the floor defy
ing all rules of decency and decorum
Sibley enjoyed the approval of his few fol-
lowers, who were, unfortunately, Demo-
Gratis. When he denounced the President as
an usurper with only "belly and brass, !"
his Democratic admirers shouted. Such
signs of approval encouraged Sibley, and
he went beyond all boundaries of decency. !"
The most pitiable feature of the whole
exhibition was the fact, that he was most
applauded by the party whose mission it is
to save the country.
Heaven spare us the disgrace of such
lawmakers.

ORGANIZERS OF INDUSTRY.

At a complimentary dinner given in
Philadelphia last week to Mr.. William II.
Wanamaker by the employees of the firm of
Wanamaker & Brown, Mr.. James w.
McCorkell, one of the speakers of the
occasion, and whom many of our brethren
of the country press know as an amiable
and accomplished gentleman, as well as the
efficient chief of the advertising department
present business condition in this country,
when he said that "there can be nothing
but eladness for a true organizer of industry
like their chief, for Philadelphia, as well
as themselves is benefited by his success"
What Mr.. McCorkell so forcefully says
of Mr.. Wanamaker in Philadelphia, is
equally and always true of every true
organizer of industry everywhere else. Very
few men can make money solely by their
own labor They must make it through the
labor OF Others. In times of business de-
preston. the man who has brains and
pluck enough, to stem the adverse current,
by giving employment to the greatest
number of productive workers, and by an
equitable division of the fruits of labor,
benefits Others while he enriches himself,
demonstrates the all pervading doctrine of
the survival of the fittest, which is potential
in the science of business as in the realms
of natural science.
Every community owes its prosperity
not to the careful and cautious coupon
clipper, who upon the first suggestion of
business disturbance withdraws himself
and his capital, tortoise-like, into his shell,
but to the true organizers of industry, whose
directing hands keep the wheels of trade
agoing.

on financial issues are irreconcilable under
the existing circumstances.
Though endorsement was obtained for
the proposed measure, it was by only the
unsatisfactory majority of twenty-five
votes, tifty-nine of the one hundred and
forty Democrats present at the time of vot-
ing not only answering nay to the question
but vehemently protesting against the
attempt of certain members of the caucus
to force the meeting into declaring the
decision unanimous one, binding all
present to vote affirmatively when the bill
may come to actual vote in the House.
The free silver men, the men who want an
enlargement. of the currency, they care
little how, and the honest money men were
as much at odds in the Democratic caucus
as ever, and the scant two thirds support
which the undetermined Carlisle bill got
from that caucus make it probable that Mr..
Cleveland will be constrained to call on a
Republican Congress for financial legisla-
ton.
Since the above was put in type, the
House on Thursday by a vote of 1919 to 12l
refused to order the previous question, on
special order of the Committee on Rules
to take final vote on the Currency Bill
to-day. While this vote does not mean the
absolute death of the bill, it is generally
thought to be fatal to it.

remains to be done in that respect, even if
there were any prospect that any amount
of increased vigilance and safeguards would
satisfy angry nations which are using the
plea merely as a convenient pretext. What
should be done, and done at once, is to
revise the sugar tariff on the lines demanded
by the American people as well as by the
disafected nations. Our people were well
satisfied with the sugar section of the
Mckinley tariff; foreign sugar-p producing
nations were well pleased with it, and it's
results were beneficial all round. But be-
cause it was Republican measure the
Democratic party was opposed to it, and be-
cause the Sugar Trust demanded the pres
ent iniudicious and unpopular scheme it
was enacted. Give us back the old sugar
schedule and foreign ports will be reopened
to American cattle, while our people will
be pleased with both actions.

THE ADDICKS DIVORCE.
A Bill of Particulars Need Not be Filed
by the Wlfe-EXpenSeS and Ali
mOny Allowed Her.

WILMINGTON, DEL, Jan. S.-The Superior
Court Mt noon to-day rendered an opinion
upon the matters before it in the Addicks di-
vorce case.
The motion Of J. Edward Addcks' counsel
for a rule on the petitioner to show cause
why a statement of charges Of adultery pre-
ferred against him should not be filed with
her petition, was denied The court held that
the allegation contained in the petition OF
continuous adultery with Il certain co-respon-
dent at certain places named and specified,
was in sufficient detail, that it could not be
more definite had it fixed certain day, and
alleged a continuation of the adultery daily
thereafter.
Upon the application of Mrs. Addicks for
an allowance Of $500 for expenses the court
allowed only $1,000. Alimony was granted
at the rate of 200 per month.
Court will this afternoon appoint COM
missioner to take testimony in the case. This
commissioner will hear the evidence in private
and report his finding to an ensuing term of
court. If exception should be made to his
return. the case will then be heard and de-
termined in open court.

ELKTON, Md, JANUARY II, 1895.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

The solution of the problem of compul-
sorry education, which for years past has
been public question of paramount i'm
portance to intelligent Americans, will be
of New York, where a new compulsory
education law went into effect on the first
of January.
BY the provisions of this law which are
extremely mandatory in character, every
school district in that State which fails to
require the attendance of all children
within its limits, must forfeit one-half its
appropriation for school purposes.
So far as can be ascertained through the
newspapers there seems to he a popular
objection to the New York law on the
ground that with present appropriations, it
will be impossible to provide accommoda-
tions for the large increase OF pupils
throughout the State.
The appropriations at the disposal of the
authorities in New York State may be
euhCltHt lHlS car W tHitDlt tHelll toSupplN
the needs OF increased accommodations
wherever such are known to exist If So
the problem of compulsory education will
simplify itself greatly in their case. But it
is to be surmised that the funds set aside
for school purposes in New York are not
large enough to meet such extensions, and
the State authorities WILL therefore, have
to distribute the money so as to help, first
of all, those districts whose facilities are
relatively the least adequate. In any event
the educators in New York State have an
opportunity before them of doing a great
work and showing the eXpediency, or other
wise, of compulsory education as feature
of the American public school, system.
Whether or not the result of enforcing the
new law will be to require the Legislature
of the State to make additional appropria-
tions for the enlargement of the schools, it
will, at least, bring out expressions of the
temper of the people upon subject of
immediate interest to all intelligent
Americans.
