Treasurer Roberts says it is in the
power of the national banks to in
crease the volume of currency a
bout $3.50, 600, 900 by issuing nation
al bank notes to the extent OF their
authority. That they do not do so
lies in the fact, according to Mr..
Roberts, that the price of bonds is
so high that it is improbable to do
so. And yet there is popular inn
preston that the national bank has
been clothed by law with extraor-
dinary power, and that it is a dan
gerous institution because it can
increase or decrease the circulation
at uill.-Helena World.
We heartily agree with our con-
temporary in the above. Jackson
said long ago that banks should not
control the currency of the nation,
as they were very dangerous, The
government only should have the
power to issue money, and contro
it's volume. OF course the banks
are not going to increase the circu-
lating medium, if it costs them any
thing-they never consider that
the government has given them J
very valuable franchise.

REEDS RETIREMENT.
Said to Have Been Secured by a
CLIQUE of Corruptionists.


An interesting piece of gossip has
been floating around of late in con-
aection with Mr.. Reeds retirement
from congress. According to this
story, it is said certain persons and
cliques concerned iu prospective
legislation before congress are really
responsible for Mr., Reeds retire
ment from public life, although he
is in total ignorance of the fact.
Whatever else may be said of Mr..
Reed, everyone comedies his un-
flinching honesty and his dogged
opposition to jobs and questionable
Legislation of any kind. 1t is said
that, realization this, influences
anxious for legislation sure to meet
his disapproval and therefore sure
to run up against the autocrahc
power of the speaker, set quietly to
work to contrive a scheme capable
of enticing him into private 6usi-
ness occupations. This was accom-
plished through the medium of a
pleasant professional career with
the attachment of tempting emolu-
ments. The other parties to the ar
rangemeut, it is said, were just as
innocent in the matter as Mr.. Reed
The story finds many believers, anC
