The principal event of the celebration
to-day was a parade this afternoon, in
which about 1880 men took part. The
parade was marred by the intense heat.
and much suffering was experienced by
the men in line. After the parade the

that the universal action OF the people

that the only possibility for Malone to
come back into power IL for them to
continue election laws framed to give

power and force every day our present
laws remain In effect. and unless they
are amended the people will presently
say that they will take Malone or any
other curse before they will longer en-
duro The curse of a system OF laws that
rots and degrades the character Of all
citizenship We warn our Democratic
brethren. therefore. that they are really
making Mahone's return to power pos

election laws in force
We are clearly Of opinion that the
amendment to the Walton law necessary
for securing honest elections is not pro-

treasury with the accursed notes we

legitimate operations of business require

answer them promptly that we would.
We tell thcm that we have 81 500. 900 Of
currency and money of one kind and
another. and We would still have $780,
10000 left. Great Britain, who does the
commercial business Of the world has
less than s7Oo01,e0 Of money and curren-
cy. Surely we might get along with al
most double what she has.
But We tell these poor deluded people.
as we have many times before told them.
that business is not done with money
IL is done with transfers of bank credits.
The business transactions in one day in
the United States are many and many
times more than all the currency and
money that the country has. Not three
business transactions in one hundred are
effected with money. Ninety-seven per
cent. OF them are effected by transfers
Of credits. Destroy these government
notes, and provide a proper banking sys-
tom. and that will furnish 100000 Of
currency IN place OF the government
notes, ana az much more as business re-

asked regarding the announcement from

course of instruction would be given by
female professors.
The preate said the Church had never
opposed the admission OF women profess
sors or students 10 the Church univer-

favor OF the higher education OF women
was in reality only a revival OF state
OF affairs which existed prior 10 the if-
