HORACE WHITES PLAN.
Retirement OF Legal Tender Notes
Prerequisite to Currency Reform.

Retirement of Legal Tender Notes
Prerequisite TO Currency Reform.
In communication to the monetary
COMMISSION, new in session in this city
NJ Horace White, the Observation-Disclosures
re oommen.!s the redemption, retirement
ami cancellation Of all legal tender notes
as the first step necessary in any plan OF
currency reform. After this Congress
could. he adds, see better what should
lie done. If this were done he thinks lint
probably the silver certificates and silver
dollars would thereafter remain at pa:
with. gold. and would not be presented for
redemption in any considerable amount.
For the purpose OF facilitating the use
Of existing silver currency, Mr.. Tmte
thinks the smallest denomination of
Treasury notes to be put In circulation
Should Le S10 at first. However, he thinks
th:. Dimensions of the field of circulation
which will absorb the silver currency is a
matter FOR experiment. He also ia vors the
gradual, but entire withdrawal of the
Treasury notes OF 1890 and the green
backs 0n the theory that there Is 10 ce-
uaiHty that the Government Will always
vedcein them in gold. Their redemption
or non redemption is a political issue
and this uncertainty, he contends, Is a
drawback to business prosperity, while
failure OF redemption would mean banS-
ruptc: and ruin.

FREE ALCOHOL IN THE ARTS.
Experts Fear That 1t Would Seri

danger of fraud Oh the revenue In ether
alcohol. The committee has been making
very careful investigation of the sub
iect and has held sessions in various cities.
1t is now in New York. The law w.s
not put into effect during the last Admins
tratiou because Secretary Carlisle took
the GrounG that IL was impossible OF en-
fcrcement without a large increase In the
force of internal revenue officers, -:
Which no appropriation lad been made.
The chief reason, however, was the fear
o, less Of revenue if the law was erforyed,
and loss of revenue was thing the Treas
ury cou!G not stand very well at that par
tiCuiar tine.
1t is dlined that more alcohol is Con-
sin.ed in Manufacture and the arts ti;an
in aEy other manner, and il this proves tn
be ruethe loss Of revenue, even under the
Dinglcy bill, may prove serious matter.
E., perts assert that If free alcohol Is al

revenue on distilled spirits will be cut in
half. This will .ean losso of mar miiiiGus

Iii spite of all efforts on the part OF the

favorable TO the cause of liberty in Cuba,
events are shaping themselves in such a

predict that the President VIII have been
jolted out OF his pro Spanish position be-
fore the beginning Of the next session
There are fnaEy considerations tending to
this conclusion. Notwithstanding Blanco's IS
humane proclamation. and his orders to
feed the starving reconcentrados, 1t al
ready has become evident that they have
been strictly in accordance with the time
honored usage of Spanish duplicfty. They

asserts that. out OF 100000 peaceful Gu
bans, exposed to the Hyena's fury, 10 per

organization in Ohio: No Boss; no barreT'
TIE State executive corlmittee has an un
pleasant shortage of $11 200, an amount
which the Senator would consider insignifi-
cant under ordinary circumstances, and
fix up like a little man; but as things
are, he declares that he will not give up
cent until satisfied that the talk about
b legtsiJtive bolt against him has been
shown TO be moonshine, by his enthusiastic
election to the Senate. The executive com
mittee thought it slirewd thing to meet
IN nCleveiandin order to give Marcus Aurelius
gentle hint 10 come down with his dust
with the result as stated. How this new
bieak on the partofthe business manager
may affect the feelings or actions Of mem

would seem TO indicate a fear that the
Republican revolt eainst his despotism mag
