THE MCCLEARY CURRENCY
BILL.

The bill (which Congressman Nc
Cleary and his associates in the sub
committee have been at work on for
several weeks back has been placed
before the Republican members of
the banking and currency committee.
While the bill has not been made
known to the public, the members of
the committee have freely talked of
its principal provisions, and they
seem to be favorably received by all
friends of a sound currency system. In
fact there is general surprise express
ed that the measure should prove so
acceptable to all, when there has all
the time existed such wide diver
gence Of opinion as to what ought to
be incorporated into such a measure.
The bill embraces the features set
forth by President Mckinley in his
message last December, and also some
features entirely new, which over
come the weakness that has been
manifested in the other measures
that have been set forth. 1t firmly
puts our Currency system upon a gold
basis, and therein is its strongest
feature. The weak point of the
monetary commissions measure was
that it allowed the banks to redeem
their notes in either gold or silver
thus putting it in their power to
tn row the country to silver basis
The new measure especially provides
that the notes shall be redeemed in
gold.
The McCleary measure provides for
the gradual retirement of the green
backs and the issuing of a new cur
rency by the government and redeem
able in gold by the banks, and not by
the government except where bank
suspends. In this latter case provis-
ion is made therefore. The new
notes issued are to be put out in
place of the greenbacks and are to be
full legal tender. This answers the
objections of greenbackers, that their
retirement would seriously contract
the currency and increase our bonded
Indebtedness. At the same time it
does away with the danger to which
the national treasury has been sub
jected during the past few years and
wo uld be at any time in case of a
panic.
One of the demands that has been
made wherever anything has been
said in relation to new currency
bill, has been that provisions should
be made for an elastic currency, a cur
rency that would respond TO the &C
tive demand for il and retire when
that demand subsidized. That feature
has always been admitted to be the
hardest one to meet, but the NcCleary
measure seems TO have met it fairly
well. 1t provides that the issue of
the bank up to 60 per cent OF its CAPT.
tai shall be absolutely free from al
tax. That from 60 to 80 per cent
shall be taxed 2 per cent and all above
80 per cent shall be taxed 6 per cent.
There are ample provisions for main
tanning the gold reserve Of banks.
The branch bank system d mand is
met by allowing the organz alton of
banks on capital Of $4,000 in small
towns. This will benefit the south
and west.
The one weak feature of the mea-
Sure seems to be its provision for the
redemption of the silver dollars in
gold by the government. As report
ed 1t provides for the redemption of

TO FORM A COLONY,

Christian Socialists Want to Organize a
 Community of Ten Thousand Fami-
 lies on Lands in Delaware.
 Influences are working In Philadel- phia," says the Star of that city, for the formation of a large and powerful socialistio colony" There arc num- Der of people in New Haven interested in the movement, among them several women who are taking an active inter est in the project. The Star says of the affair; How the movement which at present is very much in embryo, may result, is a matter largely of conjecture, but just so soon as the confident pro motors of the project enthuse sutii- cient number of families with the spirit of the plan a pilgrimage to broad acres of natures soil near at hand-possibly in Delaware-will be the first step in the dreamy programme of revolutionizing the social economic condition of the country. Here 1t is hoped to establish model community founded upon the best socialistic principles, where each mans earthly possessions will equal those of his fellow, and where no mem- Der will be allowed to profit by the en- ployment of the labor of others, but each shall labor for the common good and benefit of the society at large.
 Subscription lists are now in the hands of zealous members of the Chris tian Socialist church. These people, who appear to be greatly in earnest, are endeavoring to organize corporation with a stock capital of $l,000,000. Ten thousand shares of stock are to be is sued, each share valued at one hundred dollars. Every adult-man or women who joins the movement can have but one share, no person being permitted to hold a larger interest In this ideal asso- citation.
 Applicants for membership in the Christian Socialist church, and subse- quently in the colony, are accepted without question of religious belief. The church is without creed, Each member strives to live a clean, moral life, and holds it his object and purpose to promote pure religion as taught by Jesus Christ; to persuade men and wo- men to live pure and noble lives as the SuTeSl path to happiness Hefe ana Here- after; to inculcate the doctrine of love to God and to our fellow men as the su- preme law for the government of indi- vidual and national life; to devise and promote practical plans for the good of humanity; and to do whatever can be done, at all times to establish Peace on earth and good will to men
 The association proposes to take part in politics. and If they get ten thousand votes down in Delaware, expect to cap ture that little state. It is proposed to acquire land enough so that the colony can raise on it's own land all that is re- quisite for it's support. Manufacturing enterprises will be organized Each member of the community will receive perhaps twenty-five cents an hour for a day of eight hours, each housewife get ting the same. All the members will rule. There will be a stock company, with president and board of directors, There is such colony in Ruskin, Tenn, three years old, said to be meet ing with great success.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
THE LAKE PLACE SUIT DECIDED
 BY JUDGE EL1IER.

Damages Awarded to the Plnintlfs- sIander Charged in a Suit Brought by Attorney Isadore stein Common Pleas Court Doings City Court Fines.
 Judge William T. Elmer of the supe- rior court has filed his memoranda of and other residents of Lake place against the M. Seward & Son company which was tried before him last spring. The decision is in favor of the plain tiffs, and he awards $500 damages and costs in favor of each of the five plain tlffs-Roger M. Sherman, Mrs. F. F. Mcintosh, George B. Hurd, A. H. Ma rian and Carleton b. Hoadley. But the injunction prayed for is not made per manent.
 The suit grew out of the alleged nuis- ance caused by M. Seward & Son in the operation of their factory. It was set out in the complaint that a trip ham, mer was so operated at the factory that 1t jared the houses of the property owners; that smoke from the same source blew into their windows, and that, on the whole, life in the commu- nity was made unbearable, and that they all suffered much in damage to their property and shock to theil nerves.
 M. Seward & Son, in their defense said that they had done everything possible to remedy the matters com plained of; that they had gone to great expense in providing their trip-ham- mer with new patent appliances to re- duce the noise; that in all events the factory was situated and in operation for great many years before Lake place ever existed or the place ever became a fashionable residential part of the city; that to prevent them iron carrying on their lawful business would be a great hardship, and that the peo pie who bought lots and built houses on the streets ought to be held to the knowledge to the existence of the bus mess complained of, and that they in vested money in property with theil eyes open.
 Judge Elmer decides all the points 1T favor of the property owners ant against M. Seward & Son. He finds
