CURRENCY REFORM.

Il is announced that so-called cur.
rencv reform Will again be the prom.
inent feature Of Secretary Carlisie's
annual report. The details have not yet
been published but enough Is known
that it Will in the main b. like his
suggestions Of last year. 1t is believe d,
however, that be will advocate the
complete but gradual retirement of the
whole volume Of greenbacks, and sub
stitute therefore system of banking
currency.
WDy it is that the secretary prefers
to issue more bonds. and thus increase
the interest-bearing debt, and provide
for the banks issuing currency is dilIi-
cult to determine unless it be that he
has gone oyer entirely into the ranks
Of the mOnev spectators, and whis.
he claims that he wants the govern
ment to go entirely out of the bank
ing business, it looks as though he W az
working to give the money kings en-
tire control OF the finances of the gov
ernment,
IL would be far better for the people
if we could have iree coinage OF silver
and gold and If that did not make
enough money for circulation, let the
government supply the balance needed
by iesuing greenbacks, or some other
currency until enough gold and silver
could be got, SO that We could have
metallic currency entirely. In the
meantime our eastern brethren who
are SO much attached to paper money
would gradually find out, as we in the
west have proven, that paper money is
moi necessity in business. We can
get along very nicely with gold and sill
yer currency, cur trouble is we do not
get enough of either.
II congress would provide for the re-
tirement of all national bank notes
and for coming all of the two precious
metals offered and as fast as silver
could be coined, retire ali paper money
of smaller domination than five dol
lars, we would have some hopes O.
financial improvement.
We have no doubt but that the cur
rency question will be debated to "a
greas extent in the comtn8 congress,
but do not think Mr.. Carl jsle's plane
will be adopted. The country is get
ting awake, Members of congress are
rejecting and such a measure as Car
isles is not likely to pass.
We have great hopes that the trans
Mississippi congress now in session will
pass some ringing resolutions on this
subject, which will do something to-
wards moulding public opinion. Every
opportunity to discuss this question
should be taken advantage Of. The
press should TEEN with arguments
against contraction of the currency
limiting coinage of silver and the is
suing OF new bonds to provide for the
retirement of all the greenbacks.
The money mungeTs have run GOV
ernment long enough. 1t is high time
the peoples interests we're consulted.
Tins is not party question except
that it is the party OF the whole peo-
pie as against a few persons Who seem
to be the power behind the throne"
that dictates all measures of finance.
Our state senate should see to 1t that
U. S. senators are elected who VIII
talk and vote right on this vital sub
ject. We are, or soon will be part of
the nation and We need -ully awake
to our responsibilities.

Of severe respectabiIity afforded by the
fact that their father was clerk in the

to Justify their ambition to contract ah

Lord Tweedmouth asked newspaper

Thirteen members of the Sprrdal
Fishing club Of Buffalo defed the old
superstition one sultry day last August
embarked in yacht belonging to one
Of the party and made day Of it down
the river. They visited some of tne
pleasure resorts Oh Grand island, ate q
fine lunch, drank much beer and re-
turned to the city about 10 o'clock in
the evePing. As evidence Of what they
had done they sat before a photographer
at Sour Spring Grove and had group
picture made. The photographer was Or
dered to strike OFF 13 copies, one for each
member, and then destroy the negative.
The Sprudels is a great social-politi.
cal organization of Buffalo. 1t has near.
ly 1000 members Last winter it ae-
cured the big Broadway arsenal and
gave ball for charity, which was at
tended by 10, 900 people.
The 13 men who made the trip were
all comparatively young men, not one
over AZ, and all robust and healthy.
Within two months three of them have
died suddenly. The first of the / 3 to &C
was Michael North, wholesale cigm
dealer He caught cold. in the early
winter, had a hemorrhage of the lungs
and died suddenly. He was 42 years old
and man of strong constitution. About
two weeks later the Sprudels vera
checked to learn of the sudden death Of
Albert Baetzhold. He went into the
street while in q heated condition after
q contest in bowling alley caught colo
and was carried off by pneumonia in
two days. He was 81 years old, nearly

would pick out as the best risk. He was

years old. Pneumonia killed him in two
days.
The rest of the 19 began to feef un

1t struck John Schwabl as a remarkabls
fact that the three men who had died
stood in the front row in the picture.
He communicated bis discovery to the

The succession of fanaticaI crazes IN
which the French people have been in
1uJging in the past two years has placed
upon the statute books some of the most
monsnous laws that ever disgraced .
monarchy, not to say democracy. Tbs
present spy mania promises to add some
amazing legislation Of this description.
The law against espionage laid before
the chamber by the minister Of war,
now awaiting enactment is of this char,
aoter. The pretended purpose Of the bill
is to enable the penalty Of death against
traitors, such as Captain Dreyfus, to be
inflicted, but it contains number OF
insidious clauses which would enable a
government not troubled with scruples
of conscience to get rid of its enemies
by trumping up spurious charges of dis.
closing state secrets.
For instance, it proposes to inf1ict five
years. imprisonment and 10, 900 francs
fine on any unqualified person who shall,
even without intent of espionage, havs
procured, got hold of or published any
plans, documents or information con.
terning the national defense or the ex.
ternal safety Of the state. This propose!
is strongly denounced by the opposition
newspapers, and even the ministerial
Debats admits that it is going little
too far. 1t is hardly surprising that
some of the London newspapers are de.
olaring that the only safety for foreign.
srs is to stay away from France. Paris

quantity, was successfully raised from
a distance of nearly 200 feet, we con-
fess we are not so certain that irriga-
tion cannot be made a success on up
land as we'll as on bottom land. We
are willing, nay most anxious, to be
convinced, by actual demonstration,
that our past theories were untenable.
There are some things that can
scarcely be computed and the COM
plete transformation of western Kan
sas, when once the feasibility of gen
eral irrigation is recognized, would be
something that could not be portrayed
by the most imaginative mind. 1t
would mean, in general way, that
western Kansas is the best agricul-
tural country in this whole wide
earth; it would mean population of
thousands in each county where now
dwell but hundreds; it would mean
that $50 acres would be worth at least
$4,000; it would mean permanent
homes and prosperity for US all. The
recent experiment at GOOdland has
caused US to indulge in dreams of
what may possibly be in store for US,
and our dreams do not appear to be
altogether fanciful either. "To be or
not to be-" to live or not to live in
western Kansas is problem that will
soon be solved. to certainty, for
many of us. In the meantime. and
pending the solution, we will still
cling to that hope, eternal, which has
been the principal mainstay of most
of us during the past decade. Bottom
land irrigation is long stride in the
direction of a complete and ultimate
success and is already an assured fact.
General irrigation is now the live and
paramount question of the hour, and
it now appears to be, at least, one of
the possibilities that will be soon
demonstrated.
