elasticity" in bank currency means
a string, by which the banks take the
currency out of the hands of those to
whom they lent 1t, whenever they want
to lower the prices that they inflated
by its issue. This does not so much
concern farmers, as the prices of farm
products are mainly determined by the
volume of coined money in the business
world, all over the world. But the
reason given by the issue bank ring
for asking for an elastic to fasten to
their currency like that on little boys

at crop-moving time. But just in the
midst OF crop-moving time the Western
banks are telling that no calamity IN
Wall Street can hurt them as they have
money to loan to the East besides at
tending to home wants. And at the
moment the ring banks of New York
and the other Eastern 1ities are asking
for their elasticity to enable them to
help the West they are retiring then
bills because the price of bonds is SC
high that they can make more by re,
tiriug their circulation and selling the
bonds on which il Is based. And the
reason that they are so high is that
there is lull IN speculation Ia Wal

of great sums are putting their money

Nav Run for Lleutenant.oOyeruor.

SOme Of the friends Of Captain
RYland TOdhunter have been urging
him to become a candidate for the
eut.-Governorship of Missouri. A
representative of the INTELLIeENCER
sought to interview him upon this
subject and learned that the suggeS-
tiOn was first made to Captain Tod
hunter by some Of his old confederate
friends who have from time to time
tried to induce hlM to allow his name
to be presented for official dlstincti u
in connection with the Confederate
Veteran Association Of Missouri.
This he has always refused to do on
the ground that he belongs to the
Texas division, of which he is vice.
president. Then came the suggestion
that he should allow his friends to
present him as candidate for the
-Governorship. On being
asked if he thought he would make
the race, Captain Todhunter replied
that he had not been thinking about
the matter enough to consult with OF
write to his friends on the subject,
which he said he would certainly dc
before he made any announcement Of
bis intentions.
Captain Todhunter is one of the
best known men in the state, though
he has never been a candidate for pub
lie office and never had anything to dC
with politics further than to discharge
the full duties OF good citizen He hal
been a party and platform democrar
always, with special leaning towarJ

ests. Through this business he ha

Letter from Mr.. Wilson.
EDITOR lNrELLlGENcER.

EDITOR lNTELLIGENCER.
The republican organs tell us that
''the money question is settled', then
they rest a while and demand that
congress proceed to pass the Fowler
bill or the Aldrich bill or some other
bill to give "elasticity" to the bank
issues and settle the money question
by selling the silver dollars for junk,
or making them 'redeemable" in gold.
The Fowler organs year ago and up
to the adjournment Of congress we're
rrsistant in demanding that the silver
liars be made redeemable In gold,
since congress adjourned they have
dropped that demand and the sy-
ppsis of Fowler's bill as now given do

is to make them no longer money but

The Concert.

The concert Monday night was
success from every point Of view. A
full house greeted the performance.
The ladies who presented the pro-
gramme have been frequently heard
by Lexington audiences, so that their
reception may be taken as testi-
monial OF the estimation ia which
they are held here. The programme
is given below,
Miss Smiths exquisitely trained
voice, her pure high notes, her pleas
ing stage presence charmed an audi
euce which she has frequently charm
ed before. Miss Newbrandt has been
favorite with Lexington music
lovers ever since she was first heard
here, and the violin is always and
everywhere a favorite instrument.
Her two selections were enthusiastic
cally received. Miss Gibbs never
disappointed her hearers. Her ease
OF execution, her exuberance Of
power, the compass and melody of
her voice have long been admired by
those who have heard her in school,
concert and church programmes.
Miss Burdens piano solo was one of
the most delightful numbers Of the
evening, rendered with the ease and
sureness of touch which denote the
finished artist. Miss Richardson s
pleasing accomplishments added much
to the delight of the evenings
entertainment.

short time. Notwithstanding this
the entries have been very numerous
and of the highest grade The stock
