NEW ENGLAND BANK CURRENCY.
The Reform Club has just issued New En-
gland Bank Currency-Current redemption
developments" as No. 10 OF its Sound Cur
rency" series AS its name implies, IL Is O con-
densed but exhaustive review OF the experience
Of the New England Colonies and States in
bank-note currency, from the earliest times
until the establishment of the National Bank
system.
This summary Is not merely valuable from
the great variety ana wide range OF expert
ence covered; but specially so for its full ac-
count of the natural development under bust
ness exigencies Of the volunteer system Of
bank-note redemption, which not merely
made New England pre-eminent, but gave
her bankers an advantage over those Of the
rest of the states.
Not merely is the Suffolk Bank system
fully treated. but there are also noted the cir
cumstances which led TO its adoption. and the
rival plan, copying its methods. which was
put into operation just before the war.
In q sense the pamphlet may be said TO be
history Of bank mote development. After all
allowance is made, the showing is a most
creditable one for the New England States,
and especially for the banks OF Boston, 10
whose enterprise and tact the Suffolk Bank
system owed its origin.
Copies may be procured BY sending 10 cents

When Napoleon crowned himself with

Milan in 1S05--more than four years
ago Why was the Empress not by his
side OH that day as she had been in
Notre Dame on the day Of the corona
tion? If he be King Of Italy. shall she
not, by like reason, be Queen Of Italyi
Note the movements Of this prodigious
intellect: "If I crown her queen OF
Italy''-so was he saying to himself
that may be a bar against the possible.
Nothing must be bar against the pos
sible. My heir must be king of Rome;
and his mother must be queen OF Italy;
but Josephine Is ohildless. The crown
Of Italy must be reserved for her who
may be the mother of my king Of Rome. :"
Such was probably tho cogitation OF the
sleepwalker Oh his way to Milan, a la

poleon Emperor declared the crown to
be hereditary in his family. Josephine

Chinese War Reporting.

The Chinese met with an overW1h lining
defeat at Kaipins Dec. 20, this IS the way
in which IL is described by the Shen-pao
a prominent Chinese newsOaDer:
"A CheefOO scholar writes US that an
important battle has just occurred at
kaipinS. An overwhelming army of jap
anese made a cOwardly attack uDOn the
fearless Gen. SMUGGLING, thinking to take
him unaWares.
But that great soldier Is always vigil
lant and routed his foes with great slaugh-
ter, killing over 5000 and driving the rest
back 35 miles without losing over 10 men
himself.
Evening coming ana every one being
tired from the hard labor of the day. Gen
Sung thoUghtfully ordered all his men to
10 down and rest, while he slept likewise
or two when he was disturbed by the jap
anese, who, contrary to all usages of war.
again assalled his camp.
He was naturally indignant, and or
dered a lieutenant to drive the wrctches
away so that he could finish his smm5ers
The officer Did the best he could. but be-
ing Danic-str.cken by the cold ne and his
men retreated, being pursued by the Jap
anese.
This tul ned the camp into great dis
order and resulted in deep unhapp!ness
Gen. Sung perceived this ard ordered a
retreat at full speed. His forces quickly
outmarched the enemy, so that at morning
the whereabouts of the japanese was un-
known, from which It IS inferred that they
have fed.
while the tents, guns, ammunition
were left behind. the banners. flags and
umbrellas were all safely brought away
Gen. Sung, IN view of the urgency Of the
situation, has applied to Pekin for $1,000
re-enfOrcements.

Northern Farmers Moving south.

The movement of northern farmers to
the south is becoming so marked that
northern papers are commenting on it,
The last issue of Leslies Illustrated
paper contains an editorial article in
which the subject is quite extensively dis
cussed. From reliable sources the informa-
ton is obtained by the writer of the article
that thousands of farmers of the west
are settling in Georgia, Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Florida North Carolina, South Car
DINA. Texas and Virginia. Land agents
in all of these states are not only re-
ceiving more inquiries relative to the
location and prices of lands than they
can attend to. but they are selling lands
rapidly The opinion is expressed in the
article in question that within ten years
nearly all the vacant lands in the south
ern states win be occupied by a very de-
sirable class of settlers.
Georgia seems to be the favorlte state
of these northern home seekers. They
are coming TO South and Southwest Geor-
gia in large numbers. and those who have
secured homes are very well satisfied with
the change they have made The Morn
ing News has called attention several
times to the rapid development of the
country in and about Triton, in Berrien
county. In fact the greater part of the
wire grass section has special attractions
for the newcomers. Each settler is an
immigration agent. because he is so well
satisfied that he advises his friends in the
north to sell out their holdings and join
him.
Gov. Northen has said nothing for few
days in respect to the colony of ex-federal
soldiers and their families that he expects
will locate somewhere in Middle Georgia
but we understand that the negotiations
are still pending, and that they are likely
to be successful There are about 10000
persons IN the colony, and they would
contribute largely 10 the building up of
the state in which they should settle.
They are greatly attracted by the ad-
vantages which Georgia possesses, and if
they should make her the state Of their
adoption they would be quickly followed
by thousands Of other settlers.
The fact that the northern papers are
noticing the movement of northern farm
ers to the south shows that the movement
has already attained large proportions.
The more they say about it the greater
the movement will become. And with
the immigrants will come industries of
one kind and another Then years hence
the appearance of the south win be very
different from what it is now.

The Government wants a Decision.

The Governments Wants a Decision
The fact that the Attorney General has
become a party 70 the petition Tor q re-
hearing Of the income tax case justihes the
conclusion that the government desires
the constitutionality Of the whole of the
income tax law definitely settled at once
one way or the other. In the condition
which the recent decision Of the supreme
court leaves it the law Is the source Of a
great deal OF annoyance.
The Attorney General has raised very
serious question in connection with the
application for a rehesring. II is that II
the court holds that an income tax is
unconstitutional q claim IS likely to he
made for the many millions OF dollars
which have been collected under previous
income tax laws. The Attorney General
says. Though Of minor consequence it is
certainly relevant to point out that If the
new exposition Of the constitution re-
ferred 20 is TO prevail. the United States
have. under previous income tax laws.
collected vast sums Of money. which on
every principle Of justice. they ought to re-
fund. and which. it must he assumed.
congress will deem itself bound to make
provision for refunding by appropriate
legislation"
This IS a phase OF the income tax case
that had not been brought to the attention
of the public before the Attorney Gen
eraI suggested it. and 1t is a rather serious
one Just what amount the government
has collected under previous income tax
laws is not exactly known, Out it must be
very large.
1t is expected that the supreme court
will announce next Monday whether or
not the application for a rehearlng will
be granted. and will fix a time for the re-
hearing if the application is granted.
Mr.. Justice Jackson has written to the
chief Justice that he viii sit with the
court if it is decided to rehear the case
this term. He thinks his health is sufi-
GENTLY improved to justify him in doing
this With a full bench there would be a
decision on the whole law one way or
the other.

Nos satIsaea wI.h the Platform.

Who is there who does not remember
that during the lass national campaign
the democratic papers that favor the free
coinage OF silver asserted aggressively
and pcrsistently that the national demo-
cratic platform was squarely in favor OF
free silver colnage2 but do they assert
any such thing now? If they do. why is
10 that they are applauding the free silver
coinage democrats OF Illinois. who have
called state convention TO make a decla-
ration in behalf OF the free silver COINAGE
II The NATIONAL democratic platform cons
tains exactly the declaration in respect
TO silver they want. what is their excuse
for calling state conventions? Evidently
there is lack Of frankness and consis-
tency in what they say ana do.
by favoring silver conventions now they
are virtually admitting that they did not
believe what they taught respecting the
silver plank in the national democratic
platform, and if they did not believe what
they taught then. IS there not good ground
for questioning their sincerity in respect
10 much they are now saying In behalf Of
silver In other words. arc they not us
ing arguments and making statements
which they have good reason to believe
are not correct. And If they are doing
that SHOULD not the people be on their
guard against them?
For instance. they persistontly assert
that the act Of 1873. by which the silver
dollar. as one of the legal coins Of the
United States. was dropped. was surrep-
titiously passed DO they not know that
that statement is not true? That act was
not "sneaked" through congress as they
are fond Of saying. 1t would be impossi-
bic to sneak" such an act through con-
gross. The act of 1873 was practically be-
fore congress for three years and was
given very careful consideration. And
there were excellent business reasons for
passing il. The silver dollar at the ratio
Of lG to / was worth more than the gold
dollar. and therefore Sc was about impos-
sible to keep it in circulation. It was
more valuable as bullion than as money
What a pity. it is that facts are disre-
garded in so important a question as this
one Of silver. Is it because the silverites
have no case that they are constantly
ignoring facts? They must have a very
weak caose indeed, since they are driven

There IS a b.ll pending in the legisla-
sure Of Tennessee which provides that
stock shall be fenced in. The arguments
against it are similar to those that are
used in this county against the adop-
ton Of the mo fence" law, 1t IS that there
are owners Of cattle who are too poor to
fence in their cattle.
The great bulk of the farmers of Ten
nessee favor the bill. They see no force
in the Arguments against it. They point
out that in these hard times the cost of
building new fences and repairing old
ones IS greater than most of the farmers
can stand The argument that there are
owners OF cattle too Door to fence in their
stock or hire pastures amounts, they say.
to an assertion that a poor man has a
right to keep his cattle at the expense of
his neighbors. one of the farmers in his
appeal to the legislature in behalf Of the
law says: Now every rightly organized
man regards with compassion the worthy
unfortunate of his race, but rs II fair,
over the state. just for sweet char7ty's
sake, TO invest millions of money that
small quantity Of inferior scrub stock (for
that IS just what most Of it Isl may be fed
without cost to the owner? Now that is
what the argument logically amounts to-"
In this county the owners of the greater
part of the stock-in fact. all the better
stock-favor the mo fence" law Those
who oppose the law are. as a
rule. the owners of a few scrub
cattle that are of little account.
For the accommodation of these
faw people shall the development of the
county be held back? Shall those who
want to open farms be prevented from
doing so because of the cost of fences?
shall the drainage canals be permitted
to be filed up almost as fast as they are
opened?
The whole lot Of these comparatively
worthless cattle. # Offered at auction,
would not bring enough to purchase one
good farm. And yet, for years and years.
the people of Chatham county have SUBJ
m'tted to having the prosperity of the
county checked, and to the payment Of
heavy taxes year after year for the re-
opening of drains closed by wandering
cattle. simply that a few people might
have their stock fed ait somebody else's
expense. 1t is time that an end was put
to this state of affairs. When the cleo
the no fence" law should be adopted by
such an overwhelming majority that even
the opponents OF it would be forever
slenced. Let us have that law. and the
county will take such a leap ahead that
Its appearance VIII undergo a complete
change within very few years.
