When a really good idea is made
known the average person of intelli-
Gence wonders why it had not been
thought of before. An idea of that
kind was laid before the cabinet by
Secretary Gage, and at once met with
general approval. The government
issues three kinds of paper money,
and the notes of each denomination
of each series have different designs.
which are not only confusing, but
which are taken advantage of by that
class of swindlers who make prac-
tice Of raising notes and passing them
in crowded places or upon ignorant
and unsuspecting persons. Secretary
Cages idea is to adopt one design for
all the notes of the same value of the
three kinds of notes issued, and to
make that design so simple and dis
inctive that it will be impossible to
mistake one dollar note for a ten or
two tor twenty, etc. The change
which will probably be put into effect
as soon as the necessary plates can be
prepared, VIII be welcomed by the
handlers OF money in banks and bust
ness establishments, to whom the pic

While failures were the smallest
ever known in any quarter since 1892,
and business payments through banks
the largest BY s26s, 000, 900 ever known
in September, the spectators who
profess anxiety about Cuba, or fever
at the South, or municipal election,
stu nave some influence, says Dun s
ReOie3c. Helping them just now is the
fact that after extraordinary pur-
chases for replenishment of stocks
from any section or town there must
necessarily be for time less buying
from that quarter. Yet business is
still increasing, the productive force
steadily enlarges, the distribution of
wages affords an increasing fund for
purchases, and the foundations are
laid for a larger business hereafter
The weeks exchanges are SIS per
cont. larger than in 1892.

An Excellent appointment.

Nothing but commentator has been
heard of President Nckinley's selec-
ton OF Hon. John A Kasson, of Iowa,
to be a special commissioner of the
United States, with pienary powers to
negotiate reciprocity treaties with
other governments, in accordance
with the provisions of the Diugley
tariff act.
Mr.. kasson served in Congress for
many years, where, as member of
the House ways and means commit
tee, he acquired valuable experience,
and his diplomatic career has been
brilliant and enviable. He was first
minister to Austria, then minister to
Germany, and later United States
commissioner to the Berlin confer
ence, which arranged the present
government of Samoa.
The country may rest assured that
Mr.. kasson will see that its interests
are properly taken care of in any
reciprocity treaty he negotiates. Ne
gotiations with France have been
under way some time, and that coun-
try is likely to have the honor OF the
drst reciprocity treaty under the
Dingley law. Austria and Germany
have gwen notice of their intentions
TO open negotiations for a similar
treaty.

Capt. Charles O'Neill, chief of the
bureau of ordnance of the navy de-
partment, is opposed to the establish
ment of a government plant for the
making of armor plate for our fight
ing vessels. He says in his annual
report to Secretary Long: The bu-
reau is of the opinion that the gov
eminent can purchase armor more
cheaply than it can make it. The bu-
reau regards the making of armor as
proper adjunct to great CONNER
cial steel plant. Foreign practice
confirms this view, and even should
the department acquire plant of its
own, the chances are that it would be
at great cost, and that it would lie
idle part of the time and thus suffer
great deterioration, and that the ex-
pense and difficulty of operating it,
when needed, would more than offset
any advantages gained by such own
ership."

May 3, 1863, our regiment supported bat
terry, and later, in line-of-battle near the
Plank road, west of Charlottesville House,
withstood fanking attack of Iyerson's
Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. In
the contest our regiment lost severely in
| killed and wounded, but held the line until
our ammunition was exhausted, when we
were withdrawn to the plain near Chancel-
| louisville House.
The Confederates having driven our bat
terry from Its position, we were ordered to
recapture 1T at the point Of the bayonet, and
did SO, but were compelled to vacate, and
under heavy fire of grape and canister fell
| rapidly back east of the Charlottesville
| House, where our division fWhipple's. OF
| Sickness Corps had been forced to new line.
while in this position our Colonel "a,
Van Horne Ellis) suggested making detail
| TO bring in ammunition from boxes strapped
| to the backs of dead mules lying between
the lines, four or five hundred yards away.
Because of tine awful fire in front there was
hesitation about making the detail, and il
was intimated that q call of volunteers
| would be better.
| "Corp'l Thomas w. Bradley, of Co. 81
alone volunteered, and, stripping for the dan
| gerous journey between the lines, proceeded
under fire to the boxes and loading himself
with all he could bear, returned safely with
the ammunition. At The hottest part of the
return Bradley was seen to turn and, facing
the enemy's line, rapidly walked backward.
| Being questioned later in regard 10 this, he
replied: l felt sure of getting hit, and ]
| wanted the stroke in front instead OF in my
back. ID
