THE ENGLISH REPORTER.

Rutherford B. Hayes was an occa-
sional visitor to New York after he had
moved out of the White House, but,
unlike ex-President Harrison, he was
not averse to being interviewed on sub
iects that were not political. One OF
the New York papers on the occasion
of his last visit TO this city sent a
young Enghshman, who had recently
Joined the staff, up to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel with instructions to interview
Mr.. Hayes on the subject of chickens.
MIR. Hayes received his visitor and chat
ted with him for half an hour on var
ious subjects, and among other things
he assured his interviewer, laughingly,
that he had gone into chicken raising
as a business. When the Englishman
arose TO go he said:
by the way, Mr.. Hayes, l want my
report TO be accurate, and would you
mind telling of what YOU were once

"Of the United States, SIR replied
Mr.. Hayes. And when the Englishman
arrived at his Office he told the city

which never metal the Government so desires should never be surren dered. The policy of paying the Governments noteho.ders and creditors solely in gold has caused the issuance of $262, 900, GOO worth of bonds n time of profound peace, and if that policy shall be persisted in, there is absolutely no limit to the possible bonded indebtedness Of the United States. If Seeretrry Carlisle, when he first took charge of the Treasury portfolio and when his gold reserve was far above the required $l00. 600, 900 mark, had as serted his positive determination to redeem coin obligations in either gold or silver, or both, at his option, the financial troubles which have beset this country for the last four years would have been of short dura. ton. Such policy might have brought about temporary financial distur- bances, but with the head of the Treasurery firm in his decision and backed by all ample gold reserve the / temporary financial furry would have soon blown over.

An Effort Being Made to Exempt the

 CHICAGO, Sept. 23-The most inn portant measure presented at last nights meeting of tho city council was an ordinance designed to abolish vae- cination in the public schools. The re- pealing ordinance WAS introduced by Alderman Foster at the request, he says, of & delegation of doctors, who called on him the other day. He said he did not know who they were. 1t ls alleged that it is homeopathic scheme, which will be vigorously opposed by other physicians. The ordinance was referred to the committee on health and county relations, and it is anticipated that the allopaths and homeopaths will lock horns when the committee meets to consider the propositions of the or dinanee.
 The ordinance contains long string of whereases, alleging that vaccination is not preventative of smallpox that 1t inoculates individuals with the toxine of tuberculosis, erysipelas and other diseases; that vaccination is an in- fringement on the constitutional rights of parents and all citizens, and that, therefore, the law authorizing it should be repealed.

WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES

WHERE THE TROUBLE LIEN.
 In his speech at Wilmington, Del, Candidate Bryan used this lan- guage:
 All the conditions of which we complain are brought about by the failure of the Government to exer- else it's rights to redeem its coin ob- ligatiens in either gold or silver. ;
 In the opinion of the GRAPHIC, Mir. Bryan, in the remark above, struck the keynote of the situation. The financial troubles which this nation is at present suffering, are notdue so much to lack of sufficient volume of currency as to the policy of the Government in redeeming it's coin obligations in gold alone. There has never been any doubt in the GBAPHIc's mind but what this poli- cy of Secretary Carlisle in follow ing the Republican precedents of re deeming the greenbacks and coin obligations in gold was a gigantic mistake, and has been the author of all our financial woes. Added to this, as a further means of compli- cation and embarrassment, is the law which requires greenbacks to be reissued after redemption, which under the policy of the Treasury Department in redeeming them solely in gold, has created an ''end- less chain" upon the Governments gold reserve.
 The right of option to redeem the Governments coin obligations in
