HE popularity of greenbacks comes
largely from the fact that they replaced
form of paper currency With which no
one was satisfied. The issuance OF the
green backs was a war measure. People
regard them now wholly with reference
to their character as a circulating med
ium, and no attention is given to the evil
they work the national treasury. From
this fact comes the unpopularity of the
suggestion that they be retired.
And still it is essential to the financial
well-belng of the country that they be re-
tired. Any step IN this direction will be
misconstructed, and prejudice will be
stirred up against it. But congress should
perform its duty withstanding, Ieav-
ing the future to justify its course. There
are many objections which can be urged
against the continuance of the green
backs which taken as a whole make
up good case against their con-
tinuance. In the first place this form of
currency has no relation in its issuance
to the volume of business being done.
An arbitrary issuance of credit money is
always an evil, The greenbacks make the
government assume some of the functions
of bank without having the powers of
protecting itself, and thus is often render.

| keep large sum of money IL reserve for
purposes of redemption. When this be

United States more to keep the green
backs ahoat than it would to pay the in

money could be secured that would cause
the government no disquiet.
The argument is urged that the retire

THERE is 50 much talk in certain news
papers of what shall be done with the
democrats who supported the nominees
OF the Indianapolis conven ton. that sill
ence on the part of the latter might be
construed as acquiescence in the PROPOSE
ton to discipline. Those who allied
themselves with the popu!ists have as
much direction of the future political ac-
ton OF those who stood by democratic
principles IN the last campaign as they
have OF the recurrence of the seasons.
These men did what they did deliber-
ately and from motives as pure as ever
actuated q body banded together for a
common purposes. AS they did not
leave the democratic party there is no
need for return. 1t is not likely that
men who acted Ia accordance with their
convictions when there was danger IN so
doing, will abandon these convictions
when the danger has passed and the
popular verdict is in their favor. The
national democrats are attending to their
own business, knowing exactly what their
political status is and perfectly satisfied
with 1t, This talk of returning" in sack
cloth and ashes has no worriment in it
for them. They will remain steadfast
for principle and will be heard from when
the time for action comes. They are
capable of forming their own opinions
and are not liable to change them to
profit by every wind that blows. There
Is no SAVIOR of sackcloth and ashes in that
attitude

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's message is a
lengthy one and contains many valuable
suggestions but is not up to the standard
of excellence of his preceding messages
His recommendation in regard to Cuba
are temperate and the Cubans will not
find much comfort in them.
The message deals mainly with foreign
affairs, they being matters of greatest i'm
port at present to the government. HIS
recommendation regarding the currency
are eminently sound, but are certain to
be disregarded The constant menace of
the greenbacks TO the stability of our
currency is clearly shown, and their
retlment is strongly urge1. He also ad-
ylses that the issue of national banks be
redeemed In coin by the banks themselves,
thus relieving the national treasury of
the burden Of ultimate redemption.
Congress will hardly act on these sug-
gestions. II it did act favorably upon
them it would cause intense dlssatisfact-
ION. The danger OF the greenbacks must
be felt before it is perceived.

HE agitation at present gong on in
this state for the discontiuuance of the
issuance of passes to members of the
legislature, state officials and employees
should be encouraged. There is absol-
utely no good reason why passes should
be given TO any one. There are good
reasons why railroad passes should not
be given to public officials. 1t does not
remedy matters if the granting of passes
be made obligatory. Tie people elect
persons 10 take charge of public affairs
ana pay them salary for so doing. II
the salary is rot sufficient let it be raised
or the officials may decline to serve.
There Is no good reason why corpora
uons should be called upon to supple
ment the state IN paying those to whom
the state has given certain duties to per-
form.
With the pass system abolished more
attention will be gwen TO public business.
The legislature is in session two times
longer than is necessary simply because
travel has no expense connected with it !.
The expense of every department of gov
eminent could be materially lessened il
the issuance. of passes was prohibited.

reason why Mr.. NIeman should be treated

purely a matter of sentiment without
proper regard to international rights.
