article is taken from all Associated Press
dispatch, and the presumption is that the
suggestions have just been thrown out as
a feeler, to see how they will take with
the public. But we do not think this
plan will meet with widespread approval,
especially from Democrats. There is in
it much that was advocated by eX-
President Cleveland, and further, there
is in it all that was repudiated and throt-
tied by former President Andrew jack
son. 1t is resurrection of the old United
States bank conspiracy, and if the Re-
publicans adopt it, we will not be much
surprised. 1t is directly in line with their
principles. That they will adopt it, we
sincerely hope. Already Republican ini-
quities are crying aloud for punishment
and this last enormity will only give still
further impetus to the unprecedented up
rising that is booked for 1900.

Proposition to Turn Circulation Over to

The monetary commission, says a

banking and currency systems of the
country, and among these is one from
John c. Bullitt, which coming highly

every branch of the problem before
the commission and its provisions in

That all of the outstanding currency
obligations amounting to about $780,
100000, shall be taken up and cancell-
ed, being replaced according to busi-

wALLACE's BIG SHOW.

The Great Wallace shows reached York
vile, on time, Tuesday morning at
about daylight, having showed on the
day before at Rutherfordton, N. G.
On account of alarming rumors with
reference to disease among the show peo-
pie, the board of health was early on the
alert. Indeed, orders had been issued to
the health officer on the night before moi
to allow the show to unload it's effects un-
til it had either shown clean bills of
health or otherwise given satisfactory ev-
idence as to its condition.
At the request of Press Agent Bert N.
Davis, DR.. Miles Walker went through
the cars during the morning and made a
careful inspection of every department.
He found only one case of illness on
board-a man suffering from catarrh OF
the bile ducts and in critical condition !;
but no danger, Of course, of contagion.
All of the sleeping and living cars were
clean, and as the result OF
his investigation, DR.. Walker had no hes
itation in issuing health bill that will be
entirely satisfactory so far as the town OF
Yorkville is concerned.
In all, the show train consisted OF 70
double-length cars, loaded from end to
end with people, baggage and animal
cages, etc. The rolling stock, generally,
appeared to be clean and in good order.
The street parade, notwithstanding dis
agreeable weather, was, without doubt,
the most imposing and generally credit
able that has ever been seen in Yorkville,
and taken all together the show came
nearer filling all the expectations created
by it's advertisement, than any other sim
liar amusement aggregation of which

ENDORSED BY THE GOVERNOR

"The farmers must adopt some
means to reduce the acreage, or they
will have to manage in some way to
control the surplus"

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.

Now, since the town council and the
board of health have come to an under
standing with each other, the latter body
proposes to Immediately get down to
business.
Clerk Love, on Monday, officially noti-
fled the board of health of the action OF
the town council last Friday night, and
Intendant Lowry has issued commits
sion to Mr.. r.. w. Clawson as health
officer.
"We are going right to work now," said
DIR. Walker to the reporter on Monday.
"It is our intention to hold a meeting to-
morrow night, or as soon thereafter as
possible, and arrange details. There is a
great deal of work ahead of us; but we
will lose no time in getting it all well in
hand.
"The council" continued DR.. Walker,
"has agreed to give us a horse, cart and
hand in addition to the health officer, and
these we will use in putting into opera
ton the dry box system. What will be
done with the refuse, waste, etc., further
than that it will be removed beyond the
incorporate limits, has not yet been def
nitely decided. This waste, however, is
valuable as manure, and it strikes me
ought to yield considerable revenue.

No effort was wanting to maintain it.
Nobody could by any possibility be

We shall make no further effort to di-
rect the party course or counsels, or
to share in any of the responsibilities

belief, to divert our political associates
from a policy and procedure, the end
of which no man can foresee, the re-
suits of which we very much fear,
both as to the welfare of the country
and the party. But we are Democrats,
not Republicans, and, mailing our flag
to the masthead of honest money, free
trade and home rule, we shall, in the
character of private soldier in the
ranks, contribute whatever we are able
to the best ascertainment and the vim
dication of the truth"

- The supreme court of Illinois has
rendered decision to the effect that Tex
pert testimony is not to be paid for at a
rate in excess ofthe ordinary witness fees.
That's right-exactly right. If the state
or defense wants any scientific informa-
ton along certain line, by all means let
them get it and pay for it; but because
a witness happens to be doctor, lawyer,
chemist, or other professional man, is no
reason why he should be entitled to re-
ceive more than anybody else for what he
knows. The thing is wrong in princi-
pie and wrong in practice. We have seen
doctors; for instance, whose time was
scarcely worth $40 week, give in expert
testimony at the rate of S. an hour, and
business men whose time was ten times
more valuable, required to put in week
at 80 cents day. Then again, paradoXi-
cal as it may seem, the least expensive
testimony is rather more reliable anyway.

Maybe, after all, General Weyler is
not so black as he has been painted. He
has written the introduction to Spanish
history Of the war just published, and in
this introduction he says: 1.-THE system

Cuban campaign, is not new one. The
same was pursued by the Americans Of
the north when they fought their breth-
rem of the SOUTH" We are not prepared
to endorse Weyler or any Of his acts; but
at the same time admit that all he says is

and by first lien upon all of the
banks assets, as we'll as by special
provision giving the government the
right to assess all national banks when
needed to make good notes of a de-
faulting bank, the notes of which
would then be redeemed by the gov
ernment. A tax is to be laid upon
the banks to cover the expenses of the
currency board and the balance held
to secure redemption of notes in gold |;
but if this exceeds $1O,000,000 the
surplus may be covered into the treas
ury to pay interest on United States
bonds and for general purposes. This
tax should be one-half of one per cent.
Power should be given to banks to
increase the note issue when demand
caused by unusual financial emergen-
cies.
Silver and subsidiary coins should
he redeemed in gold by the United
States government when demanded.
These amount to about 500, 600, 900.
No note should be issued for less
than SIS.
National banks should be constrain-
ed to exchange notes now out for new
issue by surrendering notes as they re-
ceive them.
Customs duties and taxes of all
kinds due the government should be
payable one-third in gold and two
thirds in bank notes.
The legal tender quality of gold and
silver should remain as now provided
by law, and they should be the only
legal tender except to the extent OF
two-thirds of customs duties and taxes
due the government, which should be
payable in bank notes, as above stated.

power to regulate the issue of bank
notes from time to time in lieu of the
government currency retired, and to
authorize new banks and branch banks
to be established when and where and
with such amounts of capital as the

dent, with power also to increase the
amount of notes issue by the banks re-
quired for the nominal conditions OF

As banking capital may be increased
by creation of new banks, the currency
board should have power to adjust the

The Is per cent. gold upon the note

25 per cent. reserve ON deposit in ma

The system of clearing house certi'
ficates adopted by the banks in the
large cities in times of panic should
be legalized. They have proved to be

established by voluntary consent in
times of punic.

The Greenville News of Saturday has
the following to say in reply to what THE
ENQUIRER said last Wednesday:
Protection or McKinleyism, prevail.
They govern the country. How are you
going to "side track" it? Do you mean
to let it alone? Not believing in pro-
tection," would you cease opposing it
till the silver question can be settled :?
While you are building new pastures you
will not attempt to prevent a strangers
cattle from destroying your crops, much
as you may object to it?
THE ENQUIRER is undecided as to
whether it cares to continue the discus
sion; but will be governed by circum-
stances. Will The News kindly indicate
it's choice between Mckinley protection
and Bryan Free Silver? When it does
so, we will be better able to understand
the situation.

NOT HYDROPHOBIA.

The dog which bit little Lillian San
differ, of Delphos, on Sunday of last
week, was not afflicted with hydropho-
bia. That fact has been established rs
certainly and as satisfactorily as any
fact can we'll be established.
The fact of DR.. NJ. J. Walkers ex-
pertinent with the chicken was men
toned last Saturday. After the injec-
ton of brain tissue from the supposed
mad dog into the fowl, there was very
slight rise of temperature, so slight as
to hardly be noticeable-only half a de-
gree. Then there followed little swell
ing, and the spot at which the injection
was made showed signs of soreness.
This was lanced on Friday evening and
some puss was expelled. On Saturday
morning the wound was healing and
now the chicken is entirely well again.
At no time did the chicken refuse to
eat; but had the injected brain been
that of a rabid dog, it would have GER
tainly showed signs of hydrophobia.
In the case of the small dog that was
treated in the same way with the chicken,
the result has been the same. The dog
has shown more or less impatience at con-
finement; but continues to eat heartily
and does not yet appear to have any no.
ton of going mad.
A quicker way to have made the pres,
ent investigation, says DR.. Walker. would
have been by means of the microscope.
With an instrument of sufficient power,
the hydrophobia germs, when present,
are easily distinguishable. But unfor-
tunately suitable microscope was not 70
be had, and, after all, inoculation IS most
satisfactory. for that is an actual test
which leaves no possible room for doubt.
