The year has been, remarkable, too,
in the rise and fan of public senti-
ment. for opinion would not express
it, on the question of metallic coinage.
1t Is difficult to realize now, at the end
of the year, that only twelve months
have passed since Coin was the most
prominent national figure, and his fall
lacious, mischievous, yet plausible lit
tie volume was the most popular book
OF the day. When one recalls the mon
etary history of the country from col
on1al days to the present, the heresies
that have swept over it and run their
course Of speculation and disaster. it
is distinctly a noteworthy feature of
the year that so vigorous and effect

have been inaugurated and carried to
success. 1t indicates hopefully the re-
ward that comes to appeals to the
instructed intelligence of the people.
and that the demagogue and vagarist
can be defeated before they have
wrought mischief. Running thus hast
lily over the events of the year that is
gone by, one finds much to relieve that
feeling of pessimism that comes from
too close concentration of thought on
the daily evidences of evil dispositions,
and gains faith that the progress of
the race is always upward towards
better conditions.

in that line, they will have made the
bargain Of a lifetime and I can safely
say that you will have saved enough
money in the transaction to fairly edIT-
cate the family in music. 1 am Offering
at this sale the very best Pienos that
money and brains can produce; the
class and character OF which no honest
man can dispute and at fully one-hnlf
lower than regular retail prices for tle
same clS[ss Of goods the world over.
ny terms, to wind up matters as
quickly as possible have been made
so reasonable in regard to payment.
that no one need hesitate now who is
in position to even anticipate a Piano
within the next two years. If you can
spare SO per month, which is only
twice the rental Of a Piano, put $25 in
your pocket for the first payment, and
come to 40 and 142 East Sixth street
Opposite the Ryan HOteD, and 1 will
fix you out with an excellent Piano for
little more than the price Of an organ,

STILL PUSHING WESTWARD.
Insurgents Marching Toward the
Guines Railroad.

HAVANA, Jan. 1.-The news received
from the front today tends to confirm
previous deductions made regarding
the movements of the insurgents. It
Is admitted once more that the Cubans
are again marching westward, with
the intention apparently of pushing for
Los Paleu, q small town on the railroad
leading to Guines, and we'll westward
of Matanzas and the town of Alfonso
XIII. Paleu Is slightly southwark and
little to the west Of Cabezas, the most
westerly point yet reached by tna in
surgents, a.: :::i Where they are reported
to have burned the railroad station a
day or so ago. The Spanish officials
explain this movement westward by
saying that the insurgents intend to re-
turn eastward towards the province Of
Santa Clara through the northern part
of the Sagua district. But as this would
be the way of proceeding eastward the
friends Of the insurgents ridicule the
idea and continue insisting that the
forces Of Gomez and Maceo are steadily
pushing westward.

the treasury to make reserve of this
destructive fiat money, the banks
ought tc do what they can to help the
administration out. Of it's growing per-
plexittes. There lis no doubt that a
sufficiently large portion Of outstand-
Ing legal tenders might thus be retired
from active circulation, and held in
the bank vaults, to make the process
of taking gold out of the treasury
much slower one than it is at pres
ent. We hope sincerely that this will
be done.
1t is CURIOUS comment upon the
condition of Hubble feeling and the
honesty Of our Legislators that an ap-
peal to assist and to save the country
financially must now be made to those
institutions which have been de-
nounced most vigorously as preying
upon the resources Of the people. Our
representatives have refused to do
their plain duty. 1t remains for the
banks to lend all the aid that they can
to a government struggling with
false and destructive monetary sys-
tenn, which the Republican party is
engaged in fastening more firmly about
it's neck. There is accumulated capital
enough in the United States not only
to absorb its bonded Indebtedness but
to put away, in those stores of cap
ital that must always exist as a re-
serve for financial operations, the pa
per money that is dealing death and
destruction to our credit. The employ
ment of very large part of this cap
ital is directed by the policy of the
banks. 1t is clearly their duty to
leave nothing within their power I'M
done to counteract the evils of the
existing situation, which the Repub-
Hcan house is bent upon increasing.

MORE ROAD FOR BURLEIGH.
But Jenkins Refuses to Give Up Nc
Henry and BigeIoyy.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. There is
little question that the long-deferred
action of Judge Lacombe's court in
New York in reference to the North
ern Pacific receivership will be taken
inside of ten days, when a petition
providing for the appointment as re-
ceivers of Andrew r. Burleigh, E. Nc
Henry, F. G.. Bigelow and Robert NJ
Galloway will be passed upon. It will
be preceded, it is said, by the resig-
nations in Montana of Edwin T. Bon
ner and ]. B. Mills, and the extension
of Mr.. Burleigh's authority. as sole re-
ceiver from Seattle to the Eastern
Montana line. Judge jenkins is re-
ported to have been a stumbling block
in the way of any other arrangement,
as he persists in holding on to both
McHenry and Bigelow and will make
no concessions whatever If the &C
ton above indicated is taken, it will
result in two distinct systems Of rail-
way for the Northern Pacific, operated
harmoniously under a close traffic
agreement
