Free coinage aDdth National Hanks

One OF the most disastrous results OF a
free silver victory would be the effect
.sapon National Bank currency. No mat
ter on what basis the banks undertook
to redeem their paper. its value would be
impaired and its stability destroyed. The
banks might promise gold for it, it would
circulate at a discount nevertheless; be-
cs1lse the props, which the National
banking law has put under it, would be
Knocked away.
National bank notes are secured by
United States bonds. The bonds depend
for their value on the money in which
they are to be paid. The victory Of sill
yer wipes out about half the value Of the
bonds, and instantaneously the National
Bank notes fall to a corresponding extent
not exactly one-haif In real value. be-
cause there is a margin of value in the
bonds over and above the face Of the
notes which they secure. Probably the
depreciation in the security would De
about 80 per cent, and the ran IN Inc
purchasing power of the notes would
range from that to fifty per cent. the
loss on the silver dollar.
The Treasury statement, showing the
National Bank circulation outstanding
yesterday, July /, places the amount at
s225, sl2, 800. This is, of course, gold value.
Therefore, a silver victory just now
would mean a shrinkage in value of from
eighty to a hundred and twenty-five mil
lion dollars, ali in a breath At least
half of this loss would be likely to fall
on poor men or men of medium wealth
in whose hands the notes happened to be
when the blow fell.

THE BERL1NER PATENTS

WASHINGTON Especial De~spatch)-It
is the general opinion of the members of
the Bar of the Supreme Court that the
Berliner case will be decided in favor of
the Bell Tel. Co. There we're only two
points of Importance in the argument
presented by the Government: one was
fraud in It's issue and the other was a
technicality. The Government failed to
show that either the p~atentee of the
Bell &c. or the officials of the Patent
ONCE were guilty Of corruption. although
ii did appear that the action of the COM
pany In correcting the original applica-
ton after it a been fled SO that 1t
might conform to the terms of the caveat
was irregular and should not have been
permitted. but 1t was done with the
knowledge and by the permission of the
Commissioned. The Government also at
tempted to show that Berliner unlawfully
obtained two patents for the same con-
trivance His microphone is patented both
as a receiving instrument nj as a trans
mitter. The Government holds that it
must be n or the other and that it cam
not be patented twice. But 1t does not
appear how Mr.. Berliner could be de-
prived. of both patents, even if such a
point was accepted by the Court. 1t is
not believed that the Court would set
both patents aside, although 1t might de-
clare that the last one granted was IL
patents represented two distinct discov-
cries. This famous case is said to have
originated In Chicago through a quarrel
between Milo Kellogg of the Central Tel.
Co. in that city and President Hud-
son of the parent eompan in Boston.
The story is that Mr.. Kellogg and G.. H.
Aldrich, his attorney. felt that Mr.. Hud-
son had treated him very badly and swore
vengeance. Then Mr.. Aldrich afterwards
became a Solicitor General of the United
States. He learned that there was a
weak spot in the Berliner patent and or

MISS FARRAET LECTURES.
She Tells How the Enxlish Novel
Was Developed.

Miss Louise Grace Farrant delivered
the first of her lectures on the English
owe yesterday afternoon at the residence
of Mrs A.. J. Newbury. No. 81 Clifton
place. Among the ladies present were
Mrs. John A. Walker, Miss CorneIia Posi-.
Mrs Walter Hilton, Miss Carr and Miss
Gaines The subject was THE Develop
ment of the Novel" She said
Apart from the purely literary interest
there needs at this time nc excuse for
discussing the novel since the question Of
1t has become one of the most Urgent and
vital problems of our social and and moral
life From ITALY there came 10 England,
In the reign OF Elizabeth, the name novel
With the thing itself. Returning to Eng
land we find in the eighteenth century
rative Of adventure. The ~extravagant
romances are no longer in evidence. A
novel is a record of q soul Influenced by
other SOULS There strolled into England
Roger De Coverly, a character ever since
beloved In English fiction. The De Cow
eriy papers have not sufficient plot to be
called q novel, but they certainly suggest
the novel form. Defoe Is probably the
first English novelist, and a realist at
that.
Il the development of the novel we
have seen that the romance came first,
that the objective appears before the sub
@jective. and that personality appears IN
that we had the masks, not the real ac-
tors.
Briefly summarizing the development
from Pamela, TO Adam Bede' We md
the objective has given place to the sub
~jective, that souls, not mere e~xteriors,
are studied, and that the " has truly
become the record of a soul influenced by
other souls, not a mere something with a
plot. The great contrast between the
school of Richardson and Fielding and
that of Dickens and Eliot Is this:-The
older writer's professed to show man ex-
actly as he is, and, although there was
some attempt to relieve the picture with
goodness, here and there, the result was
such a portrayal as must make a man
feel contempt for himself and his fellows.
On the other hand. the later group. while
gIozing no evil, showed man, not how bad
/. he might be, but how good, thus stimu-
king him to nobler effort. Thus some
thing over a hundred years after the
birth of the English novel, we find It re-
alizing a worthy climax in the works Of
Dickens. Thackeray and George Eliot 1t
is perhaps too early TO foretel1 the future
OF the more recent novel, but with George
Meredfth and Tolstoi at work we need
not feel that fiction is totally degenerate
nor that it IS necessary to emulate the
xampl of Charles Lamb in reading an
: old book whenever q new one comes out"
At the conclusion of the lecture there
was an informal discussion OF George
Eiot.s works. Miss Farrant told the la
dies that she would lecture December IA
an .Domestic Novels" She requested
that they read before then The Vicar of
Wakefield, "Silas Mariner" "Enraa,"
and Jane Eyre" end be prepared to die
cuss the characters. Refreshments were
served by Mrs. Newbury.

It Is rumored at this time of writing
that the majority of the Street and Water
Board have come to a conclusion upor
the water contract question, and 1t APP
pears to be likely tina before 'srhe News
goes to press an award VIII have been
<aade to the East Jersey Water Company,
X this were the end Of The trouble. the
people might feel some satisfaction in
the event: but IT is more than likely a
new beginning of vexatious and dilatory
proceedings. costing the city a "a sun
and resulting, as likely as not. II a new
fiasco.
The persons who conducted the cersio-
rari suit IN the case of the Jersey City
Water Company win presumably renew
their fight against the new award. AS
suredly, If they have been acting in good
faith, they must do so. II they fail, the
conclusion win be irresistible that in their
previous activity they were Simply the
tools of h East Jersey Company.
1t will be particularly interesting to
note what course Mr.. Joseph A. Dear
and the Evening Journal, will taken IN
the premises.
