AN INFRRIaTE ASYLUM.

Among the bills before Congress, which
Health officer Woodward has designated as
being especially important, is that which pro-
poses the establishment Of a hospital or
asylum for inebriates
Washington is rich in institutions in which
the physical and mental ailments of man are
skilfuliy treated, but some are yet lacking
and among these an inebriate asylum takes
first place. The reasons for establishing
such an institution are so patent and so
potent as not 10 REQUIRE enumeration. The
necessity for it is universally recognized. 1t
appeals to common humanity no less than to
concrete justice and the public good.
Asthe case nowistands, the unfortunates who
have become victims Of dipsomania have no
refuge open to them but the workhouse or
the jail II we had an inebriate asylum it
would afford them safe shelter and the means
and opportunity to be cured of this terrible
habit and to rehabllitate themselves in their
own esteem and that Of their fellow-men.
The measure in question is one that would
hardly meet with opposition from any quar-
ter, and it is to be hoped. therefore, that
time may be found, even in these closing
days Of Congress. to enact ii into law.

BkNIsH THE GBEENBACKs.

Political economists who talk free trade
and extended commercial relations, are
hardly consistent when they insist upon the
use Of greenbacks as money. Not dollar Of
that currency viii pass outside OF this coun-
try. and in such times as the present it is a
menace to our credit.
II the United States expect TO do business
with foreign countries We must adopt their
monetary standards, unless we can force
them TO accept ours. This fact is as firmly
established as is the value Of money itself,
and no law or argument can change or
modify it.
Faith currency is good so long as there is
prosperity, but when hard times come there
must be settlement day with even so power
ful a government as this. Capital takes ad-
vantage Of circumstances to demand a re-
demption of the promises to pay, and to
maintain our credit they must be redeemed
in recognized standard money.
Unfortunately for our Treasury we are CON-
PEELED to reissue greenbacks. When once re-
deemed they are Immediately paid out again
TO meet current expenses, and in this way
become an endless means Of depicting our
gold reserve. Yesterday Russell Sage, through
the use Of greenbacks, drew from the New
York sub-treasury s55O.OOO Of the gold just
received from Europe as proceeds Of the
bond sale. Other gold gamblers will follow
his example, and within a few months an
other bond sale will be necessary unless our
revenues soon meet expenditures, when there
can be no cause for alarm.
II Congress would Withdraw greenbacks
from circulation, put coin dollar behind
every note issued, and depend upon banks TO
circulate promises to pay, our Secretary of the
Treasury could snap his fingers at the Wall
street shylocks. As if now is they hold the
fort and can speculate on the credit Of the
government whenever business depression
ca uses hard times. Danish the greenbacks
and their power would be gone.

THE TROLLEY POLES.

The Hon. Slippery Jim Richardson is evil
dently depending upon the verdancy of the
next Congress to pass the trolley bill, or he
would never have had the audaeity to amend
the lexington and Soldiers Home Railway
bill 80 as TO allow the trolley poles on New
York avenue to stand for another year.
Congress ordered these poles removed
khree years ago, and there has been sufficient
# hpe to arrange accordingly. but like most
islstion that affects corporations adversely
order was looked upon as not meaning
anything.
The amendment extending the time OF re-
moving the trolley poles has passed the
House and is now before the Senate. There
may be Slippery Jim in that body looking
after the interests Of the trolley syndicate.
and II 50, his actions should be carefully
watched. Washington street railways are al

runners, and these are joined together by q
rope fully twenty feet In length. life-pre-
