DIRTY PAPER MONEY.

WHY THERE Is so MUCH OF 1T IN CIRCULATION
THE WEST AND so LITTLE HERE.
Did you ever notice." asked travelling man
of another, both of whom had recently returned
from Western trips. how many dirty and dlapi-
dated bank bills you get hold of all through the
West?'
Yes" said the other land l could tell
why
We'll, I've found the The whole
thing depends upon the banks. Now, here in New
York fer instance. II is only very seldom that you
have a really Objectionable bill given to you. That
Is because just the various banks receive
any dirty notes among their deposits they send
them to the Sub-Treasury here in the city and get
new ones in exchange. This Is such regular and
general custom that the greasy, i'll smelling bills
pretty successfully kept out OF circulation.
But in the West nobody 10 think of
there IS sometimes positively disgusting. and it Is
q rare thing as you've probably noticed, to receive
a perfectly new bill Chicago is about the worst
city of the lot but she has some close competitors.
In the Of the cities and towns that have
b-treasuries there is little excuse the
of economy. When they ship their old money
Washington and get back il 20 cents
freight each way for every H,000. So they make up
their minds to overlook the dirt. But that
PLANTATION doesn't let out the cities that have sub
reasuries-Cncinnau. for example. where the
money is in wretched condition In those places
1t is simply indifference the part OF the banks.

"Thoughtful men North and South. :" said he bitterly deplore the occasional lule of mob law. This is not a sectional question; Ohio and Kansas have been dis Braced as much as any Southern State.
 The whole tendency of lynching Is to- ward brutality and barba rism While r destroys the physical life of the victim 1t utterly degrades and brutallzes the perpetrators
 Tt is a reproach to American civiH- xation and even to humanity itself. There is no apology to be made for the crime or the criminals, but we must insist that all criminals be punished according to the law of civilized people. The time ha s come for pulpit and press with united voice to denounce this relic of barbarism
