Form Currency Associations.

Secretary Cortelyou has issued a
circular of instructions about the CD
Grafton OF the new currency act.
This makes pertinent the observa
ton that In number OF cities bank
ers are already taking steps TO form
the national currency associations
necessary for securing the emergency
notes where commercial paper Gin
stead of state, county, and municipal
bonds) is to be deposited against them
national banks desiring TO deposit
bonds dealing directly with the treas
ury.
Even in New York where bankers
were disposed to poohp pooh the Al
drich-Vreeland emergency bill as pro
viding a mere "makeshift" which
probably would never be resorted TO-
the banks are getting in line for or
ganizing an association.
These bankers still profess to think
the emergency" is not going to- oc
cur. But then. they add in effect
seeing that 1t might occur. why. we
may as we'll get ready for 1t be
forehand; so let's organize anyhow. .
That's It exactly
That Is all the supporters OF the
emergency currency bill contended for
namely, that ability to procure an ex
ira supply Of good sound money would
be handy thing for bank to have
round In case Of emergency. These
bankers are admitting that when they
sensibly propose TO organize the ma,

WARNS AGAINST A BLUNOER.
Washington Star Deprecates Sugges-
ton That Has Been Made.

There is renewal of the sugges-
ton that If the Democrats capture the
presidency and elect 4 majority of the
next house an extra session of the
present congress will be called and
the tariff revised before the Republi-
cans surrender power.
Even II the maneuver could be ex-
ecuted 1t would be unfair and unwise
unfair, in that it would be an at
tempt TO nullify a part of the meaning
OF the election, and unwise, because
the attempt would fail.
Does anybody suppose that a Demo-
cratic president and a Democratic
house OF representatives would accept
such a revision of the schedules as
the Republicans on their death-b
would make? They would not. but
would Immediately upon taking office
propose revision OF their own. They
would feel themselves instructed to do
so by the election returns. Thus we
should see the country twice stirred
within six months on the tariff subject
But such an attempt on the part of
the Republicans could not succeed
The Democrats of the house could Of
fer but small resistance, but the Dem
ocrats OF the senate could. and would
block the program. BY a united eff
fort-which they would be certain to
make-they would talk It to death.
Less than four months would be the
time allowance. aud the routine bust
ness would have to be taken into &C
count. Either the tariff bill, OF some
OF the supply bills, would have to be
abandoned. And as for the supplies,
Uncle Sam must have his rations.
Revisions, as everybody comedies. is
coming. The only question Is how soon
and by whom. Next spring is early
enough, and IL is for the people to say
at the polls who shall do the work. A
Democratic victory. II ia true, would
not dispose OF the Republican senate.
but even that body would have to take
some account OF popular expression
at the polls which had commissioned
Democrats to deal with the subject

How can hard times remain I'm a

There is therefore reason to hope that
the wheat crop this year will be larger

the bumper yield of 1906, when nearly
three-quarters of billion bushels were

He Gave Her a Present.

When was young man Lady Jer-
sey was one Of the leaders of fashion,
and her house was the resort of poll
ticians and others. With her lived her
daughter, Lady Clementine villiers, a
handsome and clever girl. The custom
had been established that all friends
should give the latter present on her
birthday, and these presents were set
out in an antechamber. Among these
friends was Lord Brougham, then an
old man. He called on a birthday, but
had forgotten what the occasion was,
and had brought no present. Seeing a
mass Of presents laid out, he seized one
OF them and took it in as his present,
rightly counting that the young lady
would not remember that it was one
that already had been given to her.
And very proud he was Of his pres
ence Of mind. But, then, he was ar

Twain,s Emaneipa dion Il.

An Honorary degree was once con-
aferred on Mark Twain byaa humble In
stitntion in a Missouri town that had
known him when he was playing Tom
Sawyer there In real life.
1t happened that the degree confer
ring cermonies took place one lazy day
in June when newspapers generally
were suffering from a total collapse OF
everything in the way OF news.
One New York news editor raked
the land with fguratiye fine tooth
comb and got dry haul for. his pains.
Then, recalling that Mark Twain was
getting his honorary degree that very
day, 1t occurred to him that a message
direct from the famous auShor might
relieve the situation In the news. Aft
err much scratching Of the editorial
idea factory he evolved this query,
which was transmitted to Mark Twain
by wire:
How does it feel to be q doctor Of laws?
Please wire answer at our expense.
After wait Of several hours this
characteristic response came hot over
the wire from Missouri:
It feels like emancipation from ignorance
and vice. MARK TWAIN.

most superb examples Of the savage

constructed Of plaits of tough straw.
When change in location is desired,
both the women and the men put their
shoulders to the task and carry the
roofs Of their homes to the new site,
sometimes many miles distant. The
circular walls of the huts are rebuilt.

Many Languages of Mexico.

During the fiesta of Christmas or the
week Of All Souls and All Saints, when
the Indians swarm down from the
mountains with their holiday wares
for sale, visitors in the City of Mexico
may notice the strange language that
the vendors use in addressing each
other. Even when they turn to serve
the purchaser their Spanish is neither
Castilian nor Mexican, but is frequent.
~ broken by peculiar syllables and
accents. This is merely an illustra-
ton of the fact that the Indian Ian
guages Of old Mexico have not been
entirely submerged by the conquering
Spanish, and in some of the most re-
mote districts of the republic various
and distinct languages handed down
from the pre-C Columbian era are still
spoken in their pristine purity by many
tribe members.-Mexican Herald.
