Next Friday evening, DR.. Edward w.
Bemis will begin a course of lectures in
Plymouth Church on the subject of
Money" 1t is a subject of practical i'm
portance and one concerning which there
are many crude theories and much misin-
formation and ignorance fact which was
demonstrated by the dead end gone silver
craze. The lectures of DR.. Bemis. six in
number cover the whole field beginning
with the Mature and History OF Money"
and closing with the Present Monetary
Problems" 1t is fair to assume that DR..
Bemis Will give the historical features of
the subject accurately, which is very inn
portant fact. There can be no question,
for instance. that he will give a true history
of paper money in Europe and America,
and set forth historically the advantages
and dangers of paper money as he pro-
poses ir his second lecture; but whether or
not his opinions upon the expediency of re-
tiring the greenbacks of the United States
are wiser than those of others remains to
be seen. In the third lecture DIR. Bemis
proposes to consider s'Bmetallism Prior to
1873" His history will be accurate, but his
conclusions as to whether or not Congress
acted wisely and honestly in dropping the
unlimited coinage of silver in 1873 need not
be accepted.
The lecture on Changes in Wages and
Prices is largely an answer to questions
which he asks. II his answers are fairly
deduced from the history of wages and
prices since 1S40 to which DIR. Bemis refers,
he will give some useful, Information. be-
cause il will be based upon the data OF ex-
perience. If, however, he should reject as
worthless the statistics found in real his
tory of wages and prices, as did teacher
in economies who was formerly connected
with an Indiana institution, his answers to
several questions he suggests will be mere
speculations. One of the questions
which he proposes. SHOULD the volume
of money be great as the present
debt and annual transactions of the
people?' should be so. we'll answered be-
fore he reaches it that it, viii need very
little consideration. When 80 per cent of
all the transactions of the country are ad-
justed by bank cheeks and drafts and
when ten-dollar bill passing from hand to
hand will practic4siy serve to pay off fifty
or hundred dollars of obligations in a
day. it stands 10 reason that about fifteen
billions of dollars in what may be called
legal-tender money, is not needed.
The Journal has no means of knowing the
views of DIR. Bemis on the very important
topics which he will treat; but. whatever
his views. he will give a vast amount of use
full information which II is very important
that young men and women should possess.
In no one book can they find all of the topics
treated which DIR. Bemis win take up. and
the reading of no treatise can so well con-

THE ELECTIONS.

Fuller returns of Tuesdays elections
not only confirm but emphasize the re-
suits as indicated by the first dispatches.
In the aggregate they constitute one of
the most remarkable political victories
on record. 1t is not more decisive or
emphatic than that of last year. but it
presents some even more surprising
features than that did.
The elections of last year were more
general than any that had occurred for
twenty years, all the States electing
Congressman and manv of them Gov
ernors and State officers. The net re-
victory and a complete change in the
political complexion of Congress. With
the exception of California the Repub-
licans carried by largely increased ma
jorities every State ordinarily classed as
Republican, all the so-called doubtful
States and several usually classed as
Democratic. AS a result of last years
out single Democratic representative
in the Congress which will meet next
month, as against eight States without
| Republican Representative, and the
Republican majority over both Demo-
Gratis and Populists will be 134. as against
| a Democratic majority in the Fifty
third Congress of eighty-two.
The elections of Tuesday were not
nearly as general as those of last year.
being confined to thirteen States, but
they were quite as significant and scarce
ly' less important in their results. The
/ Republicans carried eleven of the thir-
teen States which voted, all except Vir-
ginia and Mississippi, including the three
usually reliable Democratic States of
New Jersey. Maryland and Kentucky
The large Republican majorities in the
congressional elections of last year were
either increased or well maintained all
along the line. while the capture of
Maryland and Kentucky was something
that the most sanguine Republicans
scarcely dared to hope for. The Repub-
licans gain two and possibly three
tage ground that two or three others
whose terms expire two years hence will
probably be defeated.
There is no mistaking the meaning of
these results. The Republican victories
on Tuesday were no more accidental
than were those of last year. On the
contrary, they indicate the deliberate
judgment and fixed purpose of the peo-
pie TO make an end Of Democratic mis-
management in national affairs and re-
store the government to the hands of
the only party which has shown capac-
ity to administer it and to legislate for
the welfare and prosperity of the en-
tire country and all classes of the people

That the officers of the southern prison
| and several other institutions have been
for years expending sums of money in
excess. Of the appropriation for any
given year and taking the amount out
Of the succeeding years appropriation
discloses loose and irregular methods
which are not only in violation of law,
but are detrimental to an economical
management OF their affairs. The off,
cial who feels that there is no real neces-
sity for his keeping within his appropria-
tion for a given year will expend more
than he otherwise would if, every two
years, he was compelled to go before
the Legislature and ask for the voting
OF money to make good a deficiency.
Furthermore. if the officers of a prison
or of any other institution can expend
in one year the money appropriated for
the next. there is no end of evil to which
the practice may not lead. In the case
of the southern prison the officers were
permitted, several years ago.. to draw a
small amount of the appropriation for
the new year to pay bills contracted for
the old. The next year the amount taken
from the new year was larger. and year
has been encroached upon until nearly
the amount appropriated for whole
quarter in the new year has been ex-
pended during the old.
There are those who defend the prac-
tiee on the ground of precedent, which
they urge has the force of law. Prece-
dent may have the force of unwritten
law, but it cannot hold in the face of a
statute. The second section of the gen.
eral appropriation act declares that for
the fiscal year beginning the 1st day OF
November. 1895. and ending the 31st day
of October. 1896. including the specific
appropriations herein made, there are
hereby appropriated the following sums
of money 1t is for given year that
$4,000 was appropriated by the Legis-
lature. consequently it is a violation of
law to expend IL in the previous year.
Still, for years the officials of the south
ern prison and of other institutions have
been permitted by auditors to "antici-
pate. the next years appropriation in
paying the expenditures of the previous
year. How many other institutions
have been doing the same thing? How
much money that has not been ac-
counted for in fact has been expended
In this manner? The debt which has
accrued to. the southern prison by this
lawless custom is about s17. 800. How
many institutions have incurred SIM
liar liability for the State?

Democracy has been diluted with the

Edward Lane, who has represented it
in Congress and who now has twice
been repudiated. Moreover, it is one Of
those districts of which IL was asserted
last March that all of the Democrats
and three-fourths of the Republicans
were frantically demanding the free
coinage Of silver. Composed largely of
ers as are found in manufacturing
towns, it was district which might be
carried for free silver if any district
outside a silver State could. In fact.
the heresy was believed to be very
strong in the district. The Republican
elected last fall having died. another
election was ordered for Tuesday. The

Is to l unlimited platform. The canvass
was begun early by the free-coinage
champions. All the influence of the Alt
geld crowd was brought to bear upon
the district. Mr.. Lane went up and
down the district showing that he had
voted for every free-silver proposition
presented while he was in Congress.
Bland, the high priest of free silver.
was early called to the Eighteenth. The
boy orator Bryan, labeled 16 to /. has
tened TO the battle ground. On the
other hand. the Republicans were late
in the field. Then, about the time the
candidate first nominated was ready
to enter the canvass. he suddenly died.
1t was then so late that it was neces-
sary to hasten a second nomination in
order to file it before the expiration of
the legal limit. Then the fight was be-
gun, the main issue being between free
and unlimited silver and such restric-
ton Of the use of silver as would insure
the circulation of both metals as money.
Tuesday night the votes were counted,
and the knight of free silver went down
in disaster under 700 more votes than
his Republican predecessor received in
the landslide of 1894. Never was a fight
so squarely made on the silver issue in
Illinois. and never did such unlooked-for
and unmeasured disaster overtake a
free-silver champion in a district always
regarded sure for that heresy. Would
it be asking too much of the excellent
persons to whom allusion has been made
to request them to glue their attention
for one silent hour to the simple fact
embodied in the result in Illinois?

A TALE OF LOUISVILLE.
Threatened Insult to n G. A. II. Man
Which Was Not Carried Out.

In Boston, Monday night. banquet was
given to the G. A. r. members who attended
the Louisville encampment During the
evening Department Commander Thayer
was called upon for a speech. a portion of
which. as reported in the Boston Journal.
is as follows:
The department COMMANDER then related
a little tale of Louisville which few of the
comrades knew of He said that it was well
known to all of them that ne had objected to
the dedication OF the monument in Chicago
10 the rebel dead, and 10 the desecra ton of
Memorial day there made. Just before the
departure for Louisville he received letter
assuring him that, while the Department of
Massachusetts, would be well received, he
had insulted the South, and that 1t was pro-
posed to as publicly insult him as he had
tho people of the South; that the insult
would take the form of rotten eggs, which
would be thrown at him at a point where
the crowd of women and children were
thickest, near the reviewing stand, in order
that no attempt might be made on his part
to ride down his assailants:
He mmediately communicated with the
commander-in-chief, stating what he had
learned and that he should be accompanied
by forty mounted men as his aids on the
parade. If the commander-in-chief noticed
any gap between the Connecticuf division
and the Massachusetts he might know what
occasioned it; for the throwing of eggs or
anything else at its commander would not
be considered an insult to himself but as
an assault upon the department. and would
be Immediately resented: that while he
would wish TO restrain ais aids. still, were
such a thing to happen. he would not guar
antee what they might do. As a matter of
fact. however. on that day he passed the
reviewing stand with forty-five horsemen at
his back. and no assault or insult was at
tempted.
He would only say for himself that he
never had better treatment In his life and
that he was glad that they went to Louis
Vile He believed that IL was the best thing
that the Grand Army Of the Republic had
ever done. Its comrades now knew the
South better than they ever had before.
and he believed that tfeir visit had made
those people truer patriots than they ever
were before. He thought that IL was th.
best encampment that the Grand Army had
ever had. 1ts
