PRETTY NEW DANCES.
Fancy Figures Arc Coming Into Favor
 Again,

The CO;illou or the german is ahso- lutoly necessary to the surcyS$ of q dance, 0nd new Ii2urpS are hailed with delight. Probably the secret of it's sue cess is it's pCssiliIlty of endless variety. Each season sees tho introduction of nrw figures. and this winter there havo been introduced number If novelties, ono of the prcttiv>; of which. according to tho New York Cummvrcial Advertiser, Is the fcrCing figure. In this two men arc supposed to fight for th" privilege of dancing with certain girl. Polls aro given them. tipped on tho ends with powder puffs liborally duStrd with pow der. Tho ono who makes the first white mark over vital spot iS the victor and dances with the cause of the duel.
 Another novelty is dancing through paper doors. For this figure frames GOV cred with tissue papgr arH set up, and tho couples dance through them. The scarf figure is pretty and k danced by almost a dozen couples, who wear light colorcd silkvn scarfS.
 Flower fiSur,S arc particularly pretty. Long stCmmVd roses arc tied with rib bonS. \ certain number If blossoms arc given to each man, who kncclS and offers them to lady. If she refuses, she waves him away; if she accepts, she de- tachrS small boutonnirro from the others and pins it upon the coat of the favored one.
 Many If tho Japanese novelties are used for favorS. Paper caps. aprons, , flowers, etc, are presented and must be worn through the figure. The little rib bon wound hoops used for rattleS make attrartivv fav,rS; also the bell trimmed tambuurinvS
 The success of german depends upon the leader, aS he must start all tho figures, and tho man who k most ready with novel f..aturoS k in the greatest demand aS a cntillun leader.

 IRE whipping post proved little too radlcAl a measure for New York state in the upper branch of its legislature, though the proposed law establishing it went through the popular branch almost un- animously. The serious consideration of the subject indicates q considerable change | in pubic opinion. At a period shortly after the war Senator Morton of Indiana iu debate in the senata, attacked Dele ware for retaining it, and received a with ering reply from Senator HAyard which ef, frctually closed his mouth. It was gen erAlly regarded AS relic of barbarism then. but recent expression of opinion indicates an important modification of public opinion in this respect.

 Editorially The Times says that uni. verSal and profound regret will bo express cd for tho condition of Lord RoSebery. The gravity of the casc must be apparent tC every one. It may be presumed that Mon- days council was moro preOccupied with the prime minister's health than with the speakership.

PUBLIC FUNDS AS BANKING
CAPITAL,

For great many years past the moneys
in the City Treasury have been deposited
in some bank of the city under the flimsy
pretext that the bank was Treasurer 1t
is time this vicious practice was stopped.
It is high time that public funds shall
cease to be loaned for nothing to some
bank for the purpose of being loaned
again at high rate of interest, thus max
ing the funds of the people the free bank
ing capital of some banking corporation
For thirty years at least this villainous
practice has been in vogue, and it is OBJ
vious to the most casual contemplation
of the su bject that it is vicious and un-
wise. The true conception of Treas
urer ia one which takes the particular
fifty-cent piece, or twenty-dollar gold
piece, as the case may be. and holds it
until on proper demand it is drawn from
the treasury, The instant the custodian
parts with the money paid to him-the
specific individual twenty dollar piece or
fifty-csnt piece-he is launched upon a
sea of speculation, and has taken clear
ance papers for the port of defalcation.
Public moneys deposited in bank are
at the risk OF the solvency of that institu-
ton. This Is not the popular conception
Of the custody of public moneys. When
Treasurer is elected he is required to
give bonds for the safe keeping, not the
loaning of public moneys; and just as
soon as they become part Of the bank
ing capital of any banking corporation
they are loaned. 1t is not enough to say
that the Treasurer has given bonds; that
if he permits bank to use the funds re-
naming in the treasury his bondsmen
are responsible. The primary idea of q

reformation

A WRITER in an Eastern paper explains
its slam bang methods. to stir up hatred
and trouble. The system is the same in
California. For instance, in San Fran
cisco, the conscienceless press started the
story that all the street railways in that
city were going to abandon the transfer
system. Whereupon there was set up a
great howl by these same papers, and the
whacking the street railway companies
got was never equaled by the tongues of
the fish market. They worked the peo-
pie up or into a belief that some great
wrong was about to be psrpetrated upon
their rights. Finally some one thought
it worth while to get sc the truth, and it
turned out that the whole thing was fic-
toned to secure transfers and then sell
them as sort of premium to their Gus
toners. This practice the street railway
companies very properly put stop to.
That was all there was in it. The off,
GERS of the road stated. on being inter-
viewed, that they had never even con-
templated or thought of such thing as
abolishing the transfer system. Did this
suffice to set the blackmailing press
right? Not bit of it 1t came back with
a note of triumph and boasted that it had,
by It's Exposure" prevented the railway
people from carrying out their schem g.
Yet, in fact, there never was any such
scheme; it existed only in the vicious i'm
agination of the sensational press which
managed TO sell few hundred dollars
worth of its issues thereby, and that was
its sole purpose.
