PROSPECT FOR CURRENCY RE
FORM

It is quite evident that it is going to-
be a difficult matter to get the Repub
lican party to do anything in the direc-
tion Of reforming the currency. The
indianapolis Commission, which is now
studying the currency question with a
view of making recommendations to
Congress, may report an excellent cur
rency reform measure, but its work is
much more likely to be neglected by
this Congress than it is to receive at
tention from it.
Already some Of the Republican pa
pers are saying that good times having
come there is no need to agitate the
currency question-that the currency
we have answers our purposes admir-
ably. and is, therefore, good enough. In
view OF the fact that the Republicans
will make a great effort to retain their
majority in the next House, and to elect
the next president, it would not be sur
prising If the Republicans should do
little or nothing in behalf of currency
reform
The history Of reforms is that they
are the result of an imperative demand.
They are made when the need of them
is so keenly felt that it would not be
duNlSdDle 10 utldg lhdklub Nutlhs
Il may be that our currency is not
causing any trouble at present, but who
can say with any degree of authority
that it will not be a source of trouble in
the near future? 1t has not been Sc
very long since there was a financial
panic because the gold reserve fell so far
below 800, ,OOO, 900 that confidence in the
ability of the government to maintain
its silver and paper money at par with
gold was weakened. That condition of
affairs may occur again very soon un'
der our present currency system.
Now is the time to reform the cur
rency. because the country is in a con
ditiOn to stand currency reform agita
tion. A reform accomplished calml.
and deliberately is much more likely t
be effective than one made when tn
necessity for it is urgent But becaus
? there is no present danger threatening
Congress will probably do nothing II
the matter, and yet every we'll informe'

forming the currency should be begu

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
SPANISH CLAIMS.

1t Is impossible to feel any great anx-
iety over the claims which the Spanish
government proposes to make upon the
United States for indemnity for dam
ages by filibustering expeditions in aid
of the Cuban patriots. The Conserva-
tive organ at Madrid says there can be
no doubt of our responsibility before
the whole world for the misfortunes
from which Spain Is suffering in Cuba
and that "the United States should
meet the demands of a nation whose in
terests have been destroyed by Ameri-
can citizens"
All this, however, is too indefinite
Indeed. it would puzzle an international
lawyer to formulate distinct basis for
a claim for damage through filibuster-
ing expeditions from this country. Even
were such damage shown, which it is
doubtful can be done. there is suffi-
cient evidence of due diligence on the
part of the United States government
in preserving a just neutrality.
But, on the other hand, there are
definite and numerous claims TO be
urged against Spain on account OF
American citizens whose property has
been destroyed in the devastating war
rare WdBeu Dy tue opdhlan against lle
Cuban patriots. SO long as Spain re-
fuses to admit a state of war in Cuba,
representing herself as controlling that
island and engaged only in the police
duty OF exterminating a band of brig
Ands. Spain is to be held responsible
Tor the damage inflicted in the process.
The United States will have enough
valid claims against Spain to offset any
that Spain may bring against us

UNCLE SAM AND HIS PURSE.

When Uncle Sam sits down to cast

The annual report of the Treasury ofI
the United States will show that onI
June 80. 1896, the total available assets
of the Treasury were SS55 6S5,321, and
on June 80. 1897, they had increased to-
1914 ,377 or these gums S3OS,35 ,34SI

ment On June 30, 1896, S547 1880 1913,
and on June 80, 1897, $751;
46S, ,953 was held on deposit against
outstanding certificates and Treasury
notes. In addition to the net ordinary
revenues the Treasury received $751;
~ 4fS $40 in deposits for the retirement OF
national bank notes and $3,25O in re-
funding certificates for conversion into
bonds, so that the total income avail
able for the fiscal operations of the
year was $36S, ,t73,925.
As against this there was disbursed,
besides the ordinary expenditures, the
sum Ol 9llso tosOu1 Oh dctouhl VI boh"o

sum of $11 1,O92,35 in the retirement Of
national bank notes, making total of
1888 245,O17. The net loss of available
cash arising from these operations,
therefore, was $25,O71 O91. In the issue
Of paper currency the operations of the
year, which amounted to 1874, ,S4S 600,
were exceeded in only one year, 1892,
and then by only a narrow margin.
The redemptions, amounting to $3.50,
71O,O2O were also relatively heavy. The
presentation of national bank notes foI
redemption increased to such proper
tions as to overtax the capacity OF the

OF the force, however, the arrearage Of

ITS PRESTIGE DEPARTED.


That the neighboring Stete of New
Jersey long noted for its mosquitoes Of
abnormal growth and lax marriage
laws, has ceased to be a modern Gresna
Green theFv is no doubt. No longer
may love-sick couples Jay the founda-
ton of a leisurely repentance by rush
ing into matrimony within the bounds
of it's sands. The entire State OF Jer-
sy, to say nothing of far-famed Cam
den, no longer stands pre-eminent as a
place where marriage is cheaply and
qickly contracted.
A young Wilmington couple, on
matrimony bent, learned this to their
dismay yesterday. They had planned to
go to Atlantic City to be united in we'd
lock, and then spend several days by
the sad sea waves. Once upon Jerseys
strand they learned it would be neces-
sary to procure a license, which could
be done only at Mays Landing, several
miles away. But this was not all. The
ceremony could not take place until
FIVE days had elapsed after securing the
legal marital permit. The Delaware
young couple were disgusted with New
Jersey and her new marriage laws, and
their idea of bliss in Jersey was aban-
doned. They returned to Wilmington,
secured license, and were married
without delay by one Of the preachers
particularly popular here in that line
of work.
