RETIRE THE GREENBACKs.

The G b e publishes a letter from
Mr.. a. T. Ankeny, of Minneapolis,
which deals thoughtfully and ably
with the present condition of the
country's monetary system. He is
entirely right in assuming that the
first thing to be done is to retire
the greenbacks. There is no solu-
ton Of the money question, we may
say that there is no safety for the
country from the threat of perpetual
panic, until this shall have been
done. The spectators have at last
discovered the fatally weak spot in
our financial system. We wonder
that they did not fix upon it long
before. But for the future we may
depend upon it that, whenever it is
to the interest of any manipulation
Of the market to create distrust and
disturbance, there will be a raid
upon the gold reserve. We must put
an end to that by destroying the
purpose for which this reserve is re-
quired to be maintained.
There is, as Mr. Ankeny observes,
but one way in which to end this
standing menace, and that is by the
retirement of the greenbacks. To
the $4,000, 600 of those which the
law requires to be kept outstanding
should be added about $3.50, 200, 900 of
treasury notes issued under the pro-
visions of the Sherman act. The
which are also redeemable in gold,
should be sold by the government.
An issue of $3.50, 0OO, 600 to $500 000, 900
of bonds would serve both purposes,
after the gold reserve and the pro-
ceeds of the silver bullion sale should
be applied to the retirement of such
notes. These bonds would, as he
says, be taken by the people as fast
as offered, if issued in low denom-
nations and bearing 21a per cent in
terest. Then fill the place of this
currency with money issued, as
money should be issued, by the
banks.
The suggestion Of Mr.. Ankeny, that
the tax on circulation be repealed,
and any bank organized under state
laws be permitted to take out notes
to the face value of bonds deposited,
is worthy of careful consideration.
That such currency would be per-
fectly safe no one can deny. We be-
Heve that the money Of this country
in the future will be issued by the
banks, under federal supervision, on
the lines Of the plan proposed by
Secretary Carlisle last winter. But
an instant readjustment of the cur
rency could be made in the way here
outlined, without the danger of los
ing a dollar, and with absolute Sc
be well worth while to do this at
once, leaving the question of the
currency of the future to be deter
mined at leisure. The main thing is
to stop the great leak in the treas
ury, to do away with the necessity
for continual gold redemptions, and
to allay distrust. This would relieve
all forms of business and take the
currency question out of politics. Is
there intelligence and patriotism
enough in public life to carry out the
plan? We have no doubt that the
administration stands ready to do
it's part. Whether a Republican
congress can be brought to cooper
ate in such a scheme for sound
finance we have reason to doubt
But none the less should the neces-
sity Of it be urged increasingly upon

A SAD CASE.
An Exied Princess Becomes Insane from
Hunger.

New York, Oct. 13.-A beautiful young
Russian princess, Vera Keknatoff, who
has been living in exile with her husband
here, is insane and confined in Bellevue
hospital. Prince Keknatoff was cxiled
from his native country two years ago on
account of connection with the nihilists.
and belongs to prominent family. His
wife followed him few months later.
They secured rooms in the house of DR..
j, j. Sullivan, president of vigilance
league. The prince made several inef-
fectual attempts to obtain employment.
The remittances he received every month
from home barely supported him and his
wife and at last ceased. The rent be-
came due, but DR.. Sullivan was lenient
with him and allowed him to retain
his rooms. According to the doctor the
couple have frequently gone two or three
days without food, being too proud to
beg or to let their neighbors know of
their condition. The young wife n few
days ago began to show signs of insanity
She began to act strangely and at last
grew so demonstrative that her husband
was reluctantly induced to agree to her
removal to the hospital.

SYMPATHY FOR EDITORS.

Ferroll, Spain, Oct. 13.-A number of
dock yard workmen yesterday made
demonstration to show their sympathy
for some newspaper men who were at
tackled by naval officers. The news
paper men have recently been publishing
articles rejecting upon the navy and
this aroused the anger of the naval Off
GERS. The conflict between the knights
of the pen and those of the sword fol-
lowed. The public is in sympathy with
the newspaper men and the demonstra-
ton was the result. The police at
tempted to dispense the gathering of
workmen, but were greeted with show
ers of stones. During the disturbance
two officers were wounded. The crowd
then marched to the naval headquarters
and pelted that building with stones,
smashing all the windows. Finally, as
the rioters threatened to wreck the naval
headquarters, the marines We're ordered
to fire over the heads of til crowd in
order to dispurse the riotous gathering.
This was done and the rioting ceased
for the time, but further disorder is ap-

RACING STABLES.
A Desire to Locate Some in the Neigl
borhOod of Austin.

\ DeSire 10 Locate some IN the Neigh
borhood of Austin.
Mr.. Elm Hughes has received a letter
from Northern turfman asking him
to secure location for permanent win
ter quarters for large stable of race
horses, among which are some crack-a-
jacks of National fame. This wise turf
man asks for a salubrious climate, 1000
feet above sea level, where he can begin
training in February and take his young
sters East with their lungs expanded by
the cedar-laden oxygen of our violet
crowned mountains, prepared to win the
rich stakes offered by the big tracks.
Mr.. Hughes has on his ranch glade on
a mountains crown, 1000 feet above the
sea level, on which training track
could be made, but he thinks his cores
pondent desires a location close to Il
city and labors under the belief that
Austin is 1000 feet above the sea level,
hence he will first seek a location close
to the city and if such location is not
satisfactory, the mountain top on the
ranch will be offered, from which a
steam or electric launch can reach the
city i'll two hours The location of this
racing establishment means an expendi-
ture of at least $4,000 each winter with
Austin's merchants and M result in
building up sporting interests of greater
magnitude.

FAyORs THE SHORT CAMPAIGN

Chicago, Oct Ex-senator Burrows
of Michigan was interviewed here today
and said concerning short presidential
campaign:
THE issues are all made and the peo-
pie are all well acquainted with them.
There is no reason why the campaign
should not be limited.
II do not see how the coming congress
can accomplish anything in the way of
general legislation, and | do not think
any will be attempted. The chances for
the Republicans to control the senate are
very precarious in the first place, and if
any legislation is attempted requiring
the coordinate action of the two houses
and which is hostile to the established
principles of the Democratic party, it
would be certain to meet with executive
disapproval. There will be no action
either on the tariff or in relation to the
currency, and the people must not ex-
pect any until the expression of their will
at the next election. | do not think
anyone can tell who the presidential can
didate will be-"

by referring the whole matter to the city
council and let them take action on il

board. The mater will therefore be con-
sidered at the next regular council meet
