The reforming of the currency looks
like case of ''too many cooks spelling
the BROTH" Nearly every public man of
any prominence has pet scheme for re-
forming our currency, and while some
reform might well be made, any plan
needs to be very carefully considered
before it is adopted. The increasing
revenues have partially remedied the
difficulties under which the government
labored during the recent stress in COM
mercial and monetary circles, but yet
change is needed to stop the endle SIS
chain business by which the Treasury
gold reserve can be depleted at the will
of the holders of treasury notes and Ger
tificates. 1t seems as though some Of
our astute finaneiers ought to have
plan by which this could be cured and
yet the volume of our circulating
medium not be decreased or commercial
interests crippled. The business pulse is
very sensitive, and a long currency de-
bate in Congress will not have the best
influence. In view of this there ought
to be some way of formulating feasible
plan 30 that it mag be presented TO Con-
eress practically full fedged, and then if
that body is patriotic enough and has not
too much buncombe to explode, the mat
ter could probably be put in shape in a
reasonable time. However, perhaps the
currency commission will perform this
valuable service.

Thanksgiving Day is being generally
observed in this city, and, of course,
the people are thankful for the good
things the year has brought them. Dur
ing the latter part of it the black pail of
business depression has lifted and more
hopeful indications now prevail, with
cheering evidences that they will con-
tinue. There have been the usual per
sonal sorrows, disappointments and
bereavements, but all in all there is vastly
more to be thankful for than to cause
sadness, and the home-greetiuess and
family reunions will ever render Thanks
