to the Georgia newspapers there is just
as little doubt that large percentage
of the negroes wish to live peaceably
and to conduct themselves properly.
But, while this is true of great ma
jority of both races 1t is also true that
there are some of each who are not
disposed to act Alright There are some
white men who are disposed to treat
negroes with injustice. There are some
negroes who incur the displeasure of
even the most kindly-disposed whites
by their insolence. One of the other of
these two classes are continually liable

disturbances good people may be

people may believe that at some time
the bank will resume and redeem.
But in the case of the legal tender,
there is no occasion for redemption save
as specie may be required for export.
In domestic transactions the legal ten
der government note is fully available.
No creditor can lawfully decline to take
it, and in monetary sense it will do
everything that the gold will.
Mr.. Gage endeavors to support his
contention by a reference to the notes
of the bank of France, which he says
only deprecated about 2k per cent.
during the Franco-G German war. In
this he shows either ignorance or un-
fairness. The bank of France is essen
TALLY a government institution, and ev-
cry time it has been forced to suspend
specie payments the government has
stepped in and made the notes legal
tender. This was done at the time OF
the war with Germany, and the legal
tender has never been taken away,
showing conclusively that even in the
case relied upon by Mr.. Gage the legal
tender quality is deemed of great value
in paper money. The notes of the
banks of England and Germany are
also legal tender and Mr.. Gage can
prove nothing by them in favor of his
scheme. In this country the bank notes
cannot be made legal tender because
the constitution stands in the way.
MT. Gage is simply a banker and
looks at the question from bankers
standpoint He thinks that his craft
can get rich by issuing notes, and he
easily persuades himself that what will
benefit the banks will be good for the
country. Perhaps it will, but there are
great many people who are unreason-
ing enough to demand the proof

Treasury Conditions.

IN the North American Review for June
Secretary Gage has an article osten-
sibly designed to show the condition
his writings, really intended to bring
out his pet hobby of retiring all ,gos=
eminent legal tender paper and vesting
the issue of paper currency solely in
the banks AS usual, Mr. Gage fails to
make his case. He does show that the
treasury is in stronger condition than
it was at the outbreak of the Spanish
reserve is larger by $65,O00,0O This, it
will be understood is partly ewing to the
issuance of 5000, 900, 900 in bonds and
partly to the increased receipts from
the revenue laws, including the So
called "war-revenue" measure. But
after showing how splendid is the
treasury condition now, he grows pes
simistic and argues that as it was not
always so, a very short time may
change the present happy condition to
one of doubt, uncertainty and even dis
tressing weakness Hence he would
have the United States legal tenders
Withdrawn, and substitute non-legal
tender notes issued by the banks. 1t
will be conceded at once that if all
United States notes were retired it
would not be necessary to hold a specie
reserve for their redemption. But how
would the people be benefited? That is
the question. Mr.. Gage fails to show.
He blandly assumes that it does not
make much difference whether a non
legal tender bank note is ever redeem
ed or not, The people will go on TAX
ing it, just the same.
The fact is that the reverse is true,
Prompt redemption is much more es-
sential to maintain the circulating
value of the bank note than of the
government note for the very reason
that the former is not legal tender,
while the latter is. The bank note has
nothing to give it value but redemp-
ton. If that fail, its value largely or
quite disappears. If it retain any value
at all it will be merely because some

From the Chicago Tribune.
chicago has always had the reputa-
lioh OF hustling, bustling town, and
the latest scheme of emergency push
buttons, in use in a Chicago drug
store, is thoroughly characteristic of
the city. This pharmacv is located at
the terminus of the Forty-seventh
street line and many patrons rush in
wishing to purchase something and yet
not to miss the next car. To render
this easy number of emergency call
buttons have been distributed around
the store, and it is only necessary to
push one of these, and a clerk imme-
diately drops his compromising work

Republican Harmony.

III PPEARANCES point to the cleo
I ton of Mr.. Henderson of Iowa,
as speaker of the next house
"hen the Ohio delegation declared for
Henderson it plainly indicated the adj
mlnlstration preference. This was at
once followed by the withdrawal of
Mr. Hopkins. and now Mr.. Sherman
has done likewise
Ihis means that the republican lead
ers are disposed to lay aside every
personal feeling. and even surrender
much in the way Of principle in order
to secure party harmony. There are
reasons of a purely personal nature
mat would naturally lead Mr.. McKin-
ley to favor some other than Hender-
son as speaker. They were fellow
members of the Fifty-first congress.
ana there was not a republicancin that
body who was more outspoken in criti-
cisrn of Mr.. McKinley's weakness and
Vac1llation, as leader, than was Mr..
henderson. In fact he never hesitated
IN characterizing the Ohioan as as in
vertebrate. But all of that is forgot
ten now. Mr. Henderson wants TO be
speaker and the president wants a, man
in the chair who will sustain him in
his foreign policy. So bye-gones are
bye-sones, and the deal appears to be
made.
AS speaker, Mr.. Henderson will prob
ably be neither better nor worse than
any OF the others. He is a Jolly sort
of a fellow, very cordial and quite
magnetic, but he Is every inch a poll
ticlan and never for a moment forgets
Henderson. He is of that peculiar type
or republcanism which is still fight
ing the battles of the civil war and
dealing frantic blows at the ghost of
the southern confederacy. At one time
he posed as quite a silver man. He
was not exactly for free coinage, but
he was more or less close to the line.
He was against the Window bill in the
F1fty-first congress- and was very
severe in his condemnation of McKin-
ley because of his webbing attitude
toward that measure. Henderson
wanted something more favorable to
silver than the Window bill but did
Iol care W go "uhe 1ull length or Tree
coinage. He looked upon the Window
bill as a Wall street measure. and
said so. He voted for the Sherman
bill, and afterwards voted to repeal it.
He did so with strong protest as
salve to his lacerated conscience Re-
Gently he has been member of the
republican committee which, sitting at
Atlantic City or somewhere, has been
engaged in the pious work of commit
ting the country more thoroughly to
the gold standard. So that upon the
financial issue his record does not differ
materially from that of Mr.. Mckinley.
He has shifted just about as radically
and for the same reason. He enjoys
the comfort and advantages of being
on the strong side of the political sit
uation.
Rumor has it that he does not agree
with the presidential policy of i'm
perialism. But of course that makes
no difference. He is a republican, he
wants to be speaker, and what does a
little question of principle amount to
in the face of such a condition as
that? 1t is pleasant for brethren to
dwell together in harmony.

tD feet of the growth of the i'm

1t has given use. The champion of i'm

his opponent by yelling traitor at
him. If objection is made TO the i'm
perialistic idea as being opposed to

It may be worth remembering that
although we have taken a step toward
Imperialism in our foreign policy. we
still have republic at home, and that
the principle the king can do no
wrong" is still far from being gener-
ally recognized by the American peo-
pie.
1t is an easy matter for some men
to work themselves up into a frenzy of
patriotism, and indulge in all sorts of
rhapsodies at a distance of 5000 miles
from the scene of action. There are
plenty of imperialists in the United
States who would be perfectly willing
to prove their love Of country by sac
aiicing not only the entire force of
volunteers in the Philippines, but all
of their wives relatives as we'll. Such
proof is not altogether satisfactory, but
1t is quite as good as to attempt to
stifie free speech and settle every con-
troyerted point in our foreign policy
