to extend the powers of the govern ent
SO as to have it engaged in commercial
and industrial pursuits, or limit its func-
tions 10 the purposes for which govern
meEt is instituted?
The wild theory that the government
should issue lrredeemable paper money
would result in inevitable disaster if put
in practice. There must be value back
OF all paper which circulates as money.
Just as soon as confidence 10 1t is lost it
ceases to serve as substitute for money.
1t will be an unpopular step TO retire
the greenback. 1t may be an unwise
step TO take at this time. But our fnan-
cial prosperity and guaranty against
panics make it necessary that it be done.
There will be arguments against this
step and prejudice will be aroused. But
ultimate safety requires it, or else that
the government be giving banking pow
ers, very unsafe prece lent to establish.

The corrupt practice act Of Missouri is
to be tested by congressional action soon.
Charles T. JOY who was elected to con-
gress from a Missouri district has made
q report of the sum expended by him to
secure his election. 1t exceeds that
which the law permits, and hence il the
law is operative his election is invalid.
The legislature of Wisconsin will be
asked to enact law similar to that Of
Missouri. 1t is quite desirable We should
have law which prevents the too free
use OF mony IT elections. 1t is source
OF corruption and IN many cases ruinous
to candidates, financially. In close
county the defeated candidate for office
finds that 1t Will take the savings of years
to make good his losses, while the sue
cesstul candidate finds his first years SAL
AIRY scarcely sufficient TO meet his cleo
tion expenses.
No one can advocate the continuance
OF system whose chief feature is COM
blnation of robbery and bribery. Moth
Ing is more disgusting than barroom poll
tics. 1t lowers our standard of political
ethics and seeks to control mans con-
victions through his appetite. 1t de-
serves the Reproduction of every good citi-
zen and should encounter the obstacle of
statutory enactment. Some step toward
publication of politics is certainly neces-

THE story of the southern man coming
out of the woods 20 years after the war
with negroes for sale, has its counterpart
10 the fact that there is county in Geor
gia the people Of which did not know
there was al election held this fall. At
least the secretary of state has been IN
able to secure returns from that county
and or any evidence that an election was
held. This ls Charlton county and lies in
the Okefeenooke swamp. II has a county
seat and inhabitants though they are
scattered. 1t is probable that elections
are rarely held there. The digest of the
states vote has been made up with Charl-

KANSAS is TO test the silver question
1t is said, u making the Mexican dollar
legal tender. OF course this will not
affect existing contracts and hence can
90 no harm while the experiment with
free silver may thus be made There
seems to be no constitutional obstacle IN
the way. The U. S. government has be-
fore this made foreign coins legal tender
The only inhibition placed upon states
Is that sold aud silver are the only things
which state can make legal tender.
1t is only proper that these states
which started the movement for free sill
yer and insisted that the government at
large should adopt their views, should
prove their faith by their works.
II the Kansas Legislature makes Mexl-
can dollars legal tender IN that state the
remainder of the United States Will
watch the experiment with interest and
without suffering loss if loss should come.
Ii silver can do what its advocates claim
for it they should not hesitate to put
their ideas IN practice and thus give a
practical demonstration of what they
claim.

LET us reason together coolly, now that
election excitement is over. 1t Is gener-
ally conceded that our financial srstem
is not what it should be. The currency
| is good while the business situation is
normal. But experience has proved that
when there is panicky feeling the ma
tIonal treasury is ID distress. That fact
has been sufficiently shown during the
last few years. The only relief possible
under the system was the issuance of
bonds. This act was criticised, but the
system which made 1t a necessity passed
without censure. The legitimate conse-
quence of a bad system was denounced,
while the source of It's being was applaud
ed. 1t has endless capacity for like pro
geny and only awaits an occasion to fur
nlsh new brood.
Banking is O business and If the gov
eminent engages in it, it should have
banking powers. The government has
a reserve fund of only S100,0O0,0O0 with
which to redeem the greenbacks, amount
Ing to about S350,000,0O0 and treasury
notes amounting to Sl50,0OO,0O0 While
things run on smoothly there is no de-
mand that these be redeemed. But
whenever fear takes possession of the
people there Is a rush to the treasury
and the government, like bank, must
suspend payment unless it can raise
money by issuance OF bends OF some
other means. The national treasury Is
made to perform the functions of bank
Of issue, and Of bank Of redemption with.
out having any of the ordinary powers of
banks to protect itself. That is the chief
trouble with our financial system.
There IS no bank in tue world which
could last three days conducted on the
same plan our national treasury is as a
banking institution. We lay the blame
upon concerning OF gold" something
which is really a good deal of a myth.
Our system is faulty and until that is
remdIeed We shall always have trouble
with our money during periods of distur-
bance.
Is it best for the government to 60 out
of the banking business or to secure bank
| ing powers? Ii the government goes
into banking rs a business enterprise.
what line of business may it not engage

nalism? Can we have safe manage

CAPTAIN General Weyler has returned
to Havana from the campaign against Ma
Geo. This looks like an abandonment OF
the movement and an admission that
Spain cannot bring the island under sub
iugation. fit is true, as reported, that
Weyler's return is due to fear caused by
Maceo's proclamation offering reward
for his head or his capture, then Weyler's
reputation for cowardlce Is as well estab-
lshed as that for his cruelty.
Weyler's failure will make 1t incum-
bent upon the United States to take some
action on Cuban matters. No doubt
President Cleveland's message will have
some recommendation on the matter.
The United States must take the initia-
tive even though 1t should lead to war.
In that event Spain would expect assist
ance from the other nations OF Europe
and would receive it though it might not
be open.
