LIES ABOUT THE CURRENCY BILL.

Democratic orators and papers are assail-
ing the McCleary currency bill, which in
its essential features is the measure of the
association of business men who met in
this city last winter. The trouble with these
speakers and newspapers is that they will
not tell the truth. They are following in
the line of the statements which ex-Gov.
Altgeld has made regarding the measure.
One of these statements is as follows
Under this bill all greenbacks and other
forms OF government paper now circulating
as money and amounting to upward of $780,
0OO,OO0 are to be Cancelled and the govern
ment is to issue interest bearing notes or
bonds that will not circulate as money in
their stead, thus increasing the annual bur-
den of the American people to the extent
of many millions of dollars.
FalseKood is not a sufficiently positive
term to apply to The above. 1t is a lie, not
misrepresentation. There is not a section
in the bill which provides for anything of
the sort. No bonds or Understanding notes
are to be issued to redeem gresnbacks. If
such notes are presented to the treasury
and gold is demanded for them they are
not to be paid out again except under con-
ditions which are made clear. Banks are
not compelled, under the McCleary bill, to
purchase United States Understanding
cause Of opposition to the national bank is
that it receives interest on its bonds and
also on it's circulation. Under the Nc
Cleary bill banks will issue notes upon their
commercial assets. Banks can have circula-
ton by taking to the treasury greenbacks,
in exchange for which they will receive
national reserve notes. upon which no in
proposition is to put the greenbacks where
30 endless chain" can be used to draw the
gold reserve out of the treasury, asl was
done during the Cleveland administration
by spectators, to the destruction Of conf
dence in business. To prevent an overissue
of such notes the tax of the United States
increases with the increase of circulation.
A tax of per cent. is levied on all issues
of currency notes if in excess of 60 per
cent. of the capital of the national bank,
and per cent. If in excess of so per cent.
of the capital.
We repeat that under the proposed law
the interest-paying bond will be forced out
OF the securities held for the redemption of
the notes of such banks. The notes are
based upon the commercial assets of the
banks and further secured by bank note
guaranty fund made up of the contribution
in gold of per cent. of the entire circula-
ton of the banks. The bill provides for free
banking under the laws of the United States
with such safeguards as will protect every
nofeholder

NEW FOE TO lNEBRIETY.
Scheme for Making the Human Race
Proof Against Alcoholism.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-It is now proposed
to make the human race proof against alco-
hol by incubation. DR.. Frederick w
d'Eve.yn of St. Luke's Hospital. San Fran
cisco, advances a plan to arm all children
against intemperance in later life just as
they are armed against smallpox. Then.
says the theorist, a long farewell to John
Barleycorn
DO you know DR.. d Evelyn said to-day,
that the effects of one jag may be de-
tccted three months afterward?"
He did not mean the whirlwind order of
jag" which breaks windows and leaves
marks of destruction all along the line. but
just the ordinary kind. The effect he meant
could be detected, not in the scenery, but
in the blood and the nervous system three
months after it's bearer has become sober.
Degeneration. he said, 'is hydration."
This he explained meant that the ordinary
symptoms OF degeneracy are traceable to
hereditary or acquired alcoholism, and alco-
holism is due to the effect of alcohol upon
the water in the blood.
To cure the inebriate or fortify child
forever against drink, DR.. d'Evelyn pro-
poses to adminster-says, indeed. he has al
ready administered with marked success
what he calls equisine or a preparation
fed upon alcohol until it has become
regular topper. Il believe" he said that

children whether there is hereditary faint
or not. do not know how the substance

every case can be cured. But the all-im-
porant thing is to treat children so that
generation after generation shall be purer,
until there is not only nc predisposition to
drink, but that the evils due to drink will
pc removed. The old saying was blood is
me- say water is life Alcohol dehyd-
rates the blood, and the man and his Off
spring are no longer normal beings"
In treating children, he explained, disc

d'Eveyn says that the equisine has been
of three years in San Francisco which asked
continuously for whisky. This infant, he
said, was treated by him, and it's thirst was
so materially abated that it asked no more

hibitory enactments of any kind. You cam

II am not one of those who believe that

Indianapolis Method Best.
School superintendents il the Atlantic

SchooI superintendent in the Atlantic.
In the majority of cities election by pop
ular ballot is undoubtedly the best method
OF choosing the school board, says school
superintendent in the November Atlantic.
And where the school board is elect
ed directly by the people, and is therefore
directly responsible to the people, 1t ought
to be financially independent of the rest of
the city government. 1t ought to have
charge not only of the schools and the
teachers, but also of the schoolhouses and
the janitors; The city council ought to
nave no authority to determine how much
money is to be spent on schools and school
buildings. This is the only solution of the
embarrassing problem of securing sufficient
large cities. Cities like New York, Philadel-
phia, Buffalo and Chicago fail to build
schoolhouses fast enough to keep pace with
the growth of population not because they
cannot afford 1t or because the taxpayers
are unwilling to be taxed more heavily for
such d purpose, but because the politicians
in the city government want the money for
other purposes.

ESCAPE OF GERONIMO.
Probability of the Recapture soon of
the Old Apache Chief.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.--The escape of
Geronimo the once famous Apache leader
while on his way under guard fro Ell Reno
to Fort Sill. Oklahoma, causes no comn1o-
ton here. Geronimo is an Old man. and his
influence among his people is so broken that
he would not be able to get a corporal
guard to follow him if he were to take the
warpath tomorrow. 1t is probable that he
would not have attempted his escape alone
had not circumstances removed the officers
who were in charge of the Apache prisoners
at Fort Sill, Captain Scott, of the Seventh
Cavalry, having gone upon General Miless
staff. and Lieutenant Capron, who joined
the Rough Riders" as a captain of voun-
teers, having been killed at the outset of the
Santiago campaign. These two men knew
personally every Indian in the party of
Apache prisoners, and were known by them.
respected, and in the better sense, feared.
As it is, unless Geronimo departs from the
Indian fashion of following a known trail,
he will be overtaken and brought back be-
fore very long; for of the first things
Captain Scott did after taking charge of
the Geronimo band was to procure an accu-
rate map of the Indian trail from Fort Sill
to Fort Stanton, New Mexico, and to file
copy of ii with the adjutant general of the
Department of Missouri. Telegraphic dis
patches, therefore, ought to set a party of
SViuielS Ol lHS Wdtcn at various points
along the trail, from all of whom Geronimo
would find il hard to escape.
Undoubtedly GeronimoS visit to the
Omaha exposition has been bad for him.
The foolish display of curiosity about him
by the crowds there probably contrasted so
with the unchanging discipline under which
he lived at Fort Sill as to stimulate his
vanity and make him disconnected with his
lot. He has never taken especially kindly
to civilization, but he did seem to show a
little pride when Scott enrolled him in his
troop of Apache scouts and put upon him the
blue uniform of the United States army. 1t
always rather ranked in the heart of the
old fellow that he was placed on the same
level with the braves who had followed him
in battle, made to work with the rest and
treated in every way as an ordinary Indian
of equal wears would be
