Our national currency system is still
In highly unsatisfactory condition,
and all friends of monetary reform
should unite in bringing their influence
To bear upon congress next winter TO
secure some positive constructive legis-
lation to cure the evils which they all
recognize as existing. Whatever meas
ure Is brought forward to simplify the
paper circulation, TO fortify the gold
standard. upon which all our paper and
silver issues rest, and TO improve our
national banking system by authorizing
branch banks and giving the feature of
elasticity TO bank circulation, will be
pretty sure TO be antagonized by all tho
motley forces Of cheap money-silver
men as well as paper iatists.
On this question believe parties will
make their next national struggle. On
one side the platform will be govern
ment paper money and plenty of it TO
stimulate business and start new era
of speculation. On the other side it
will be that all paper currency should
be issued by sound banks under govern
ment supervision, and its amount
should depend on business needs, which
vary from month to month, with the
check on overissues by the bankers
themselves 10 avoid insolvency.
The fight between sound and unsound
money theories will be hard one. and
the wrong side may win at first, with
much resulting calamity TO our business
interests, but do not see how the con-
test can be avoided. We must retire the
greenbacks and wo must have better
system of bank issues before we can get
our currency affairs upon safe basis
1t seems TO me that the first duty OF
the friends Of sound money in prepar-
ing TO make the contest that seems inev-
liable IL to continue the process Of edu-
eating the public mind which was be-
gun last year. E V Smalley in Chi

NO GIFTS FOR THEM.
Tubbs Became Insane Because He
Gould Not Buy Presents.
Attempted to Drown Ills Children
Who Had begged For Them.

Kingston, ". Y, Dec. H.-Muttering 10
himself and talking constantly of Christmas
and Of the coming OF Santa Claus, aged Ben
iamin Tubbs sat last night in his cell in the
county Jail here. He is insane and was or
dered committed 10 the Middletown State
Hospital. On Christmas Eve six years ago
screams OF "Murderi" were heard IN the
house of a neighbor, and the village consta-
bic, hearing the cries, rushed into Tubos
house by mistake and clubbed him into un-
consciousness, striking him again and again
in the face with the steel handouts before he
manacled him. Tubbs reason was dethroned
by reason Of the blows ne received, and tfier
his discharge from custody the following
morning no was "A physical and mental
wreck.
His property and money were much used up
in caring for him, but finally the doctors de-
clarcd he would regain his reason. He did
some time ago, and what money he was still
possessed of he used in trying 10 obtain legal
redress for his treatment at the hands of the
constable Lawyers got all of his money, and
finally, few months ago, he became dis
eeHraged- because ho could scarcely earn
enough to support himself and family. Last
Sunday his little children begged OF him pres-
ents for Christmas. Sadly he told them he
could give them nothing. Brooding over his
poverty and fearful wrongs, Tubbs' weakened
intellect gave way again.
'rm going out, his wife said, I'm leave
the children with you.
''All right, Tubbs responded quietly.
No sooner had his wifc departed than, with
a howl the man dashed from the house.
Papa, papa take us with you,' cried his
two children. Lets 20 find Santa Claus
Tho words caused the maniac To- halt, and,
seizing the children, he rushed down the road,
crying Wen find santa Claus"
Soon he reached the bridge that spans a
neighboring stream, and, raising the children
high above his head, he was about 10 huri
them into the water when Supervisor Denton
Of Gardiner, who happened 90 he passing by,
seized his arms and rescued the children.
Then meek, but hopelcs.ly insane, the father
was led away end Imprisoned.
