Bigger Questions Coming.

The heartburnings and the recriminations
caused by the late election in New York
will soon be forgotten in the common in
terest in great national questions which
the opening Of Congress will create.
The thoughts of the public will be trans.
ferred from New York to Washington.
The local questions were settled by the late
election. The national questions are still
open and will be under debate throughout
the coming winter.
The Cuban question is always of absorb.
ing interest, and never before was 1t so
provocative of thought and emotion as 1t
will be during the pending session of Con-
gress. Doubtless, the Hawaiian Islands
will be annexed to the United States be.
fore this session closes, arousing and stm-
ulating patriotic pride. The discussions
provoked by the currency question will
command the earnest attention of the
whole public.
Thus minor local disputations which have
vexed this town since last spring will be
set aside by matters of large national con-
cern, and with the causes Of parochial dis
cord will pass away the resentments to
which they gave rise.
This is a fortunate outlook, for the people
hereabouts need the broadening influence
Of wider issues on their minds. Whether
national issues could or could not properly
be introduced into our municipal campaign
was under dispute during its progress, but
that their discussion belongs to Congress
is indisputable, and from Congress they
will extend reasonably and necessarily to
the whole people.

A Common Councilman of New Haven
wants that town to publish municipal organ.
The experiment should be tried in Chicago first.
There are enough statesmen and philosophers
in tho Chicago Board of Aldermen to make an
original newspaper. New Haven means we'll,
but she has no man in public life who can COM
pare for force and brilliancy with the Hon.
FEETBALL PLoTKE, tho Hon. JOHN POWERS, the
Hon. BATH HOUSE JOHN, and tho Hon. H1NKY
D1NK. These geniuses and their associates could
construct a municipal newspaper that would
attract attention from all collectors and be well
coined at the ends Of tho world.

According to the Chattanooga Ne,cs, "a
Tennessee officer OF tho general staff who knows
how to wear q sword, let alone draw it, would
be a curiosity" This must be pronounced tho
merest malignity OF envy. Under the inspiring
influence and Tyrtean strains of Governor
General Bob TAYLOR every officer in the Ten
nessee militia is as familiar with the use Of the
sword and wears ono as gracefully as IL it were
button or pocket pistol. Governor TAYLOR
prefers to wear a silver trumpet and an enam-

of the sword better or can wave q radiant blade

Boston. Nov. 22.-James H. Duffy of Machias-
port, Me-, announces that he has discovered the
lost art of producing Damascus steel, also the
art of hardening copper and brass. This is the
result Of ten years Of experimenting with tho
metals in his village blacksmith shop. Mr..

made knife bladcs and razors OF copper. He says
he has used copper razor for months, and yot

covered how 10 weld copper. a thing hitherto un-
KNOWN and can temper quarrymen's drills so
that they will outast the ordinary drills BY

in the world. and says that every iron worker
and every copper and brass worker treads upon

with justice that "the recent singular and

which he has practically allied himself with

tion. call for some regulatory action by

be Chairman of the Republican State Committee

be considered a long gheaded and discreet politi-
clan. but he seems to have got over it. Doubt

Retro tho National Bank Notes :

Retro the Nat1onaI Bank NOteb
Tho only currency measure which the
Administration is likely to press upon
Congress at Its coming session, is ono re-
q, ,pealing the act OF May 81, 1878, which
authorizes the reissue of the old legal ten
/. der notes, whether they come into the
Treasury by redemption or otherwise; sep
arating the gold redemption reserve from
the other funds in the Treasury, and per-
mitting the reissue Of demand notes only
" against gold deposited for their future re.
demption. 1t is doubtful whether meas
. ure Of this kind can be passed, but, II 1t
can he, 1t will place the issue department
OF the Treasury in position similar to that
Of the issue department of the Bank of Eng
land, and deprive the enemies of Govern
ment paper money Of all pretext for de-
nouncing 1t as an "endless chain" for de-
pleting the Treasury of its gold. Under 1t,
90 soon as any considerable amount of Gov
ernment notes was sent in for redemption,
and the gold drawn out for them was
shipped abroad, tho currency would be con-
tracted, interest rates would rise, and the
outflow of gold would be followed by its
return to this country.
It is desirable, however, that to secure to
the Treasury the full benefit of this reform
the currency issued by the national banks
should be retired as fast as possible con-
sistent with the vested rights of the banks,
and its place supplied with Government
notes. Fortunately, the charters of ma
jority of the banks will expire in the course
OF the next ten years, and those of nearly
all Of them in five years thereafter. These
charters should not be renewed, and the
banks should be required to reincorporate
themselves under the laws of their respec-
tive States, relinquishing completely the
privilege Of Issuing currency, which ought
: never to have been granted them. With
bank currency out of the way that of the
Government would have the field to ITSELF
and might be augmented without risk to
. meet every requirement of business.
u Provision also should be made for sup
plying the needs of the Government, in case
of deficient revenue, by giving the Secre-
, tary of the Treasury authority to borrow
T, money on short-dated obligations. At pres.
ent the only way for him to meet def
cheney is by availiug himself of the doubt
full powers conferred upon him by the Re.
sumption act of 1875, and selling bonds
. under the pretext of providing gold for
redemption purposes. This is subterfuge
to which no Government should be COM
PEELED to resort, and the employment of it
by the Cleveland Administration will ever
be a blot upon its record.
s With the adequate protection Of the gold
reserve held for the redemption of the Gov
- ernment notes, with the retirement of bank
currency in every form, and with provision
for straightforward and honest borrow
ing of money to meet temporary revenue
deficiencies, no further measures affecting
the currency will be necessary for years to
come. Future emergencies can be met as
VI they arise, and the complicated currency
reform schemes suggested from so many
quarters may be laid aside as theoretical
curiosities of no practical value.

takc it that the most important part OF the matter

cigars and smoking tobacco stronger and contain
more nicotine than the cigarette and that constitutes
the latters danger to the smoker. Every "clgarete

faction he gets from smoking the "cofin nails :"
comes from the inhalation OF the smoke into tho

average smoker with either pipe or cigar.

has the advantage in physique and general health
over the one addicted to the cigarette habit.
