Want More Bank Notes.

Legislation on the question is bound to
come
Mr.. Ridgelay declared it as his belief
that large central bank of issue was the
proper solution of the situation. such a
bank to be entirely divorced from politics
and speculation. The banking laws of the
country should be changed. but he did not
believe in special emergency currency un-
less 1t could be made useful at all times.
He would arrange for uniform system
by which national banks could issue un-
covered bank notes based on the credit of
the bank and requiring the banks to keep
their equivalent in reserve. We should
thus have a bank note which could be
passed anywhere. The deposit credit was
the real elastic currency of the country,
and with this system in use the banks
would not be disturbed.

WANTS BANK OF ISSUE
WILLIAM BARRETT RIDGELEY
ON CURRENCY NEEDS.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. November 23.-
"The government interferes too much with
the business of the country said William
Barrett Ridgeley last night in addressing
the Ad Mems Club on the financial crisis.
This disturbance as usual manifested
itself first in New York city, but its ex-
stence was due to more than stock mar
ket conditions. Since perhaps the time of
the San Francisco fire there has been
plenty of warning. not only to the United
States. but to the old world. of the pend
ing danger. The expansion of loans and
credits had reached a limit where the re-
serve fund was inadequate.
THE collapse was not entirely due to
speculation. Neither was it due to the
cry that the east was taking all the money
away from the west and storing 1t up. The
most important point TO be considered is
the fact that We are all in the same boa t
and that money cannot be divided into two
classes. that used in speculation and that
used in straight business. What is used in
one channel one day is diverted into an
other channel the next

GLOBE, February 1S.---On the an. nouncement that Calumet & Hecla was the ownership of at least 10000 shares of the stock of Allouez Mining com pany, and probably the control of Cen tennial, made all coppers bouyant today. On account of the position of Osceola, the public was large buyer today, lift Ting the price ten points above the price at which Calumet X Hecla brokers have been buying for many weeks past.
 Selling of Trinity by Lawson brokers still continues.
 The New York market looks weak and traders are selling stocks on theory that as fast as money gets more plen- tifui it will be used up by new issues of short time notes, as practically all the railroads need more money as soon as they can get it.
 Greene Consolidated and Cananea Central will be exchanged for Greene Cananea on and after February %.
 Logan X Bryan say of the New York market: Market closed generally lower. Reaction in today's market is unaecountable except on theory that we had fairly respective advance and on grounds that market is sealping one purely, profits looked tempting. Copper stocks somewhat unsettled on account of possibility of labor trouble. Money rates show firm tendency. There has been much agitation in favor of passage of Aldrich bill by congress, but this is still an undertaking of uncertain quan- tity and not being figured on very closely in Wall street. As we stated Saturday, think market will recover from its natural dullness.'

morning recently on entering his Office

When the latter arrived. he found that
the safe an old-fashioned affair. locked
with a key, could not be opened. After
a hasty examination, the expert, taking
piece of wire, dug out from the key
mass of dirt and lint. He then opened
the safe in twinkling Of an eve. The
business man wore sickly smile as he
asked. meekly:

from the Scientific American.
Owing 10 the great crush that always
prevails at certain OF the great railroad
stations in London I'm the early morning
to procure workmen's tickets, automatic
machines for the Issuing of the same
have been Installed, thereby avoiding the
long queues at the booking Offices, and
expecting the delivery of the tickets. In
Great Britain this class OF ticket, which
enables the workmen TO travel at purely
nominal fares over considerable distances

Travelled for cents-is issued up to about
7:3O every morning, and accordingly there
is vast section of the public which
avails itself of these facilities. The au-
tomato machines have proved highly ef-
ficient, and expedite the delivery Of the
tickets TO a considerable degree, since

TIPS BRING LOWER WAGES.
Walters Who Like Gratuities VIII
Have to Pay the Price.

walters Who Like GrRtutttes VIII
Have to Pay the Price.
From Ever bodys Magazine.
The inevitable result OF the tipping
practice must be the lowering OF the gen
eral wage scale. Wages are a right. A
tip is a charity. Tips destroy not only
self-respect but wages-the point can
scarcely be oyeremphasized. In one Of
the smartest hotels on Fifth avenue
where tip is always expected the wait
ers are paid SIS month. On the other
hand, In one OF the best known beaneTies
on Park Row, where tips are unthought
os the walters receive $50 a month. It
may be put down as an axiom that
salaries decrease directly as the size Of
the tip.
The Pullman pOrters have had cause to
realize this. In the early days Of sleep
ing cars II was no uncommon thing for a
porter to make 500 on a trip from New
York 10 Chicago and back. And the
company, realizing this, reduced the
wages until q porter received but $l.23 for
trip from New York to Chicago. But
custom is liable to change in the matter
OF tips. The public grew tired OF paying
so heavily for service and began grad
uaIly to reduce the size OF its tips. One
porter told me that from 60 cents for the
run from Chicago to New York In 1890 the
average tip had dropped TO l. cents. Yet
the wages remain low. so low that at a
political convention held In Saratoga a
few years ago sixty Pullman porters as
sembled in eX-Chief Of Police Devery's
private car Elzevir and formed them
selves into an association to fight the tip
ping system and 10 demand fair working
wages instead. There ought to he a
moral for other wage earneTs in this.

Recent discussion by the States General
at The Hague OF measures TO be adopted
IN view of the possibility of Queen VIII

effect of turning public attention abroad
once more TO the domestic affairs OF the
young sovereign. who viii celebrate IN
August next her twenty-seyenth birth
day, and the seventeenth anniversary Of
her accession TO the throne of the Neither
lands. Provision IS made in the amended
statutes for the exclusion from the sue
cession of any children that might be
born to the reigning Grand Duke Of Sake
weimar. now next heir to the Dutch
crown, after his declination of the latter.
His name. however. is not specifically
mentioned i'm the new law, and instead
of the word "declinatiOn that of 'abdl-
cation" has been used. While the true
purport Of the measure has been thor

been altogether misunderstood abroad.

strength of this. stories have been widely
circulated to the effect that Wilnelmina
was about to lay down her scepter in
consequence of the alleged misery Of her
married life and Of the melancholia re-
sUlting therefrom. Now, there is just as
little truth in the statement that the
Queen contemplates The abandonment OF
her throne as there is in the tales Of the
unhappiness OF her marriage. And un-
der the circumstances "a few words on
the subject OF her husband may be OF
timely interest
