alton amongst the people. which WILL oil

the United States from n and all as
ISOLATION with tho paper currency OF the
country. But that day. We fear Is a long
way off. and. I'm the meantime, much
would be done to produce satisfaction
n amendments to the banking laws were
made in the line of our correspondents
suggestions. II only the tax on circula-
ton were move and the requirement
OF United States bonds as security for
circulation were abandoned and the
banks were allowed TO Issue as many
notes as their directors pleased. the other
provisions suggested by our correspon-
dent for securing the circulation might
work well.
The great question 10 be considered In
dealing with this case Is who IS IL that
wants more currency? TIL cities can get
along very well as matters stand. They
do their business almost entirely with
checks, and more currency IS a matter
Of very little moment to them. But the
country people cannot get along win
cheeks. They must have actual cash
for their affairs and the clamor for an
improved currency system all comes from
them. This is the great cardinal fact
TO be always kept before the mind. What
ever will supply the country people with
a currency that will stay amongst them
and not go off to the cities. will meet
the demands of the case. Whatever fails
to send a currency out amongst them that
will stay with them is so much work
thrown away. 1t is useless for our rulers
to dodge the issue. They have got TO
deal with the demands OF the country
people and they nave not moved one step
towards pacifying them until they meet
their reasonable demands in a reasonable
way.

A OF DR.. HARRIS.

By the daily bulletins sent out from
L~ynchburg, the Richmond public has been
prepared for the announcement this morn
ing of the death of Professor ii. II.
Harris. But, while the shock, which his
sudden and unexpected death would have
caused is lacking. the sorrow Of his
friends and Of the Virginia people is not
the less profound.

sufficiently eloquent in that they under

the young men committed to his care and
tutelage cannot be estimated, but as he
constantly met them in his walks through
life and heard from them acknowledge
ment Of the great things that they had
received from him. so he will meet them
in the hereafter. His works do follow
him.
Or. Harris was not known TO the world
for his real worth. because Of his mod

loved him best and most highly esteemed
him. His life has been useful and fun

his trust and now that work is done. his
gentle spirit goes to Its sweet rcst-'to

THE ENEMIES OF PROSPERITY.

u Is conceded by all business men that
what this country now needs more than
anything else to encourage prosperity. is
rest from agitation Of an sorts which
tends TO shake confidence and disturb

fore. that the greatest enemies to pros
perity are the agitators. And who are
these agitators? First the jlugoes. who
are constantly stirring mp strife with
foreign countries. and who are constantly
saying Zee 70 Fun. i smell the blood

Is "Be he live or be he ccad. I'll grind his

that prosperity depends on legislation OF

LESSON TO VIRGINIA.

Tho recent destruction by fire OF the
capitol building at Harrisburg IA
calls 10 mind the insecurity Of our own
capitol building in Virginia
1t would indeed be a national loss Tor
that old building. so intimately associated
with the history Of this country, to be
destroyed by fire.
one Of the reports Of the fire IN the
PENNSYLVANIA capitol say that the Ell
forts Of the bucket brigade were useless
rs the dry and rotten timbers composing
the rafters and toists Of the building
burned like gun cotton. and the fire ate
its way downward and through the cell
ing into the Senate chamber.
That would describe the situation OK
actly, were the Virginia capitol to take
fire.
The loss to Pennsylvania is $l'o'O'"O win
an insurance of 100000.
But the fact TO which we would call
immediate attention is that that sfca'
work OF art. the statue Of Washington
Houdon's masterpiece, whicl Is confess
edly the most precious piece Of maiO'e
in the United States. as it is the most per-
feet likeness IN marble of the great SOL
dior and patriot. Is in the capitol ouiid-
ing. and in the event OF fire, would al
most inevitably be either destroyed or
terribly defaced.
Such a loss would be simply If 'eparao'e
and we believe tina the statue should be
REMOVED TO the new library building.
That is the proper place for It, and II
would there be safe from the flames.
There is a lesson 10 Virginia in the
burning OF Pennsylvania's State building.

party Of Illinois. 1t declares that since
he undertook the leadership Of the Demo-
cratic party. its career has been steadily
downward in Cook county, until there is
a majority i'm that county against it OF
10000. Moreover. the Chronicle gives
warning that il the Democrats propose
to continue under the leadership Of Ait
geld, they will by this spring be in a
minority Of more than 10000.
Mr.. Altgeld has been expensive not only
to the Illinois Democracy. but to the
Democracy Of the entire nation. There
is no telling how many votes he cost the
Democratic party in the national cam
paign Of 1896. There are other Leaders
