Yesterday marked the opening of the
lawn tennis season of 1896. The first
or the long series of official tourna-
ments were scheduled to begin yester-
DAY afternoon in New York, New Hav-
en-, Cambridge, Princeton, Philadel-
phia and Chicago. The interscholastic
championship movement has assumed
greater proportions this spring than
ever before, and the tournament will
be held in six different sections. Har-
ward and Columbia organized the In
terscholastic Tennis association in 1891
and since then the meetings have
grawn in Importance each year. Yale
and Princeton, which Joined very soon
after the association was formed, have
been followed by the Chicago univer-
sity and the University of Pennsylva-
MIA, both of which will hold tourna-
ments this spring.
The winners from all four of last
years sections were present at New
port last August to meet in the final
series of matches for the National In
-terscholastic championship, and 1t is
expected that there will be six contest
ants next summer for the honor Leo
T.. Ware of Brookline, Mass, who holds
the title, Will be ineligible this year to
defend his claim to 1t, as he has en-
tered Harvard, while G.. p. Sheldon, jr,
and NJ. d. Whitman, the other two in
terscholastics, have also entered col
lege-Yale and Harvard respectively
so that there will be a vacancy which
must be filled by some new player this
year.
The interscholastic tournaments will
be followed by the state champion
ships, most of which are scheduled for
the week Of June IL. 1t was intended
that some day the Nationl champion
ship tournament should be restricted to
holders of state and other recognized
championships. to prevent the great
rush of less expert players from enter
ing this most important tournament of
the year, which should be in some way
limited to experts. This plan, however,
has not been put in operation as yet.
and it is doubtful whether 1t will ever
be perfected so that ii can be carried
out. Some such restrictions should be
put upon the championship entries in
order to raise the standard of play in
our annual Newport meeting, which is
now altogether too crowded by inferior
players, who are completely out

commercial honor which makes this
system of freedom possible, should cause
each heart to look in admiration for the
possibilities of the human race.
This grand innovation which has torn
from our hands the shackles of an un-
natural money, is so completely in line
with the material law of commerce that
it is bound to endure and grow in favor
as mans morality grows.
The system is vigorously attacked by
demagogues, who know only such wea-
pous as prejudice, malice and jealousy.
They tell the people that bankers are
hard lot that they receive and 10
per cent interest, open their banks at 9
and close at 4, and have q good time
generally at other peoples expense.
Still our common sense continues to
whisper in a ''still small voice" that
there is no justice in coming 100-cent
dollars from 50-cent bullion, and have
our dear old Uncle Sam guarantee they
are just as good as gold, when the buyers
and sellers of the world have declared
by their acts that they don't want them,
and don't use the dollars that are now
coined. To force Uncle Sam to sign
such guarantee would almost break his
heart, and entirely break his credit.
But let's go back to the question.
Silver bullion is not worth as much as it
was prior to '73, because the people
won't use it as money as they did then.
The bullion owner would like to have
his so cents worth of bullion made worth
100 cents; go would the owner of SO
cents worth of wheat, 25 cents worth of
potatoes, etc., like scheme of this kind
| applied to his possessions.
We have simply outgrown silver as a
money. The general enlightenment of
the matter which our public school sys-
tenn has made possible, has swept from
the earth nearly every veetige of that
horrible idea, "vicarious atenement." !"
The world has grown strong in individu-
alism. Now we have, standing at the
head of every successful commercial
concern, men and women whose moral
stamina lifts them out, far out, beyond
the reach of all temptation to do a
wrong commercial act.
This condition of things is realized by
the masses to a great extent. The COM
mercial men and bankers of today are
gods when compared to the Shylocks oi
ye olden times, or ye political trickstert
of ye modern times. F. S. G.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
The question is frequently asked,
<'Why is silver bullion worth less now
than it was prior to the crime of '73?''
There are many and varied answers to
that question, and from the scholarly
mass of incongruities we turn away dis
heartened, and look still farther for a
solution compatible with our common
eense. Our common sense teaches that
the circulation of money, and money
only, cannot possibly add one iota to
peoples prosperity. 1t is the exchange
OF the products of human labor, which
brings comfort, gladness, morality and
civilization to the toiliEg millions of this
old world of ours. The business and
purpose of the money as used by civil
lied man is to stand in lieu of the prod
ucts of human labor as they travel
through the various arteries of trade, and
it is obvious that it must be q standard
to which all commodities are referred
for measurement as to value. Our COM
mon sense says that the money which
will effect the exchange of the various
objects of commerce, certainly and eco
nomically, is good.
Silver when stamped by sound gov
ernment is certain, but very expensive.
It costs about forty per cent of its
stamped value, present standard, to pro-
duce 1T. Forty per cent is big bonus
TO pay for the scales to weigh with. The
gains of We man prior to and since '73
has devised means of circumventlng

through which about 95 per cent of the
business of the world is done today.
The basis of this mighty commercial
structure rests on the broad foundation
