trates the danger which arises from
permitting them to issue their paper
as circulating medium.
The national bank note, being re-
deemable in lawful money, has never
been better than the United States
note which stands behind it, and yet
the banks persistently demand that
these United States notes, which draw
no interest, shall give place to interest
bearing bonds in order that the banks
may collect the interest which the
! people now save.
To empower national banks to issue
circulating notes is to grant valuable
privilege to a favored class, surren-
der to private corporations the con-
troll over the volume of paper money
and build up class which will claim a
vested interest in the nations tinan-
cial policy.
Our United States notes, commonly
I known as greenbacks, being redeema-
BILE in either gold or silver at the op-
ton Of the Government and not at the
option of the holder, are safer and
cheaper for the people than national
bank notes based upon interest-bear
ing bonds.

of a sensation by coming ont flat-foot-

has carefully considered the possible
effect of his declaration upon his own
chances for a denomination and cleo

that he would rather be defeated for
Congress than sacrifice his self-respect
by joining the Harrison chorus under
coercion. He says fatty that Harri-

and that he will exercise his right to
support any of the other Republican
leaders for nomination TO that high

But Vsnezuela's Constitution win Not
Accommodate England.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The British
government, according to the most re-
cent and apparently inspired utter
ances of its semi-official organs, has
turned to the policy of bringing ABOUT
a resumption of diplomatic relations
with the South American republic, and
then proceeding to direct negotiations
with the repu bile to determine the
boundary, as the most feasible path by
which it can emerge from its present
position without practical retraction
of Lord Salisbury's refusal to arbi-
trate.
In the light of presidents estab-
1ished by her most distinguished au-
thorities, it is difficult to see how the
government of Venezuela can consent
to enter upon any agreement to COM
promise her territorial claims to Great
Britain, or, as it has been suggested
by recent London dispatches, to part
with any portion of her claims for a
financial consideration, for no less an
authority than Guzman Blanco is on
record as declaring such course to be
distinctly unconstitutional.

Mills of Texas Criticises Presi-

n NJ HIS MT TOW
HIS POLICY.
Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania Makes
an Onslaught.
Mr.. PETER Addresses the Senate
on the Bond Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. Senator
Mills speech on finance with frequent
direct criticisms of the President and
secretary of the treasury, was the
main feature of yesterdays Senate
session. There was added interest in
the speech from the fact that Mr..
Mills has been prominent in the Sen
ate as a champion of the presidential
policy. His criticisms were temperate
and dignitied, the senator giving ex-
preston to his high personal regard
for the executive, although differing
with him radically on the question of
financial policy.
Let any party" said Mr.. Mills,
''dare to go before the country in the
coming contest with a plain declara-
ton favoring a bonded debt and bank
circulation and when the campaign is
over that party will need the services
of a first-class undertaken.
He differed with the president on
the subject and he regretted it. But
this was country of free discussion,
and the difference with the president
and the secretary of the treasury ex-
listed in spite of high personal regard
for them. The president wanted more
bonds, adding to the peoples burden
and imposing this burden on our chill
dren and our children's children.
rotary of the Treasury, asked Mr..
Mills, when this bank conspiracy be-
gan. say to these gentlemen, now
show your cards and 1 will pay you in
silver? If the Treasury had coined
the silver in the Treasury and paid it
for current expenses there would have
been no deficit. The Presidents bond
issues were futile. 1t was like pour
ing water through a sieve. The hun
dred million issue a few days hence
would be followed by another hundred
millions in a few months. The Presi-
dents language concerning finances
sounded like the statements of Joe
Cooke, when he advocated national
debts as national blessings.
During the day Mr. Pugh gave no
tice that on Monday next he would
press to a vote, without debate, a res
olution that all government obliga-
tions should be paid in either silver or
gold.
The silver bond bill was taken up at

Mr.. PETER urged in particular the
repeal of all laws authorizing the issue
of bonds, and said the PopuIist party
would properly arrange the parity of
the two metals when it came into
power.

the millennium occurs"
THE millennium is near at hand and

There has been reported to the Lon
don Missionary society the conversion
of a Hindoo devotee, a man who lived
as an ascetic in lonely places, and de-
voted his life to quiet meditation. The
missionary found it extremely difficult
20 show him that Christianity de-
manded of him quite a different mode
of lffe-to go out and ming1e among
men and preach Christ in the noisy and
ouarrelsome market place. Though
the ascetic shrinks from this hard duty,
he nevertheless bravely performs it,
