HEINRICH coNRIED's TRIBUTE.

Regret was expressed by music lovers at the
Metropolitan Opera House last night when the
of DR.. MacDowen's death became generally
known. Heinrich Conried said:
Il am inexpressibIy shocked to learn of DR.. Mac
Dewels death. The loss to the musical world viii
be great, for I believe that without doubt he was
the greatest native composer. Lovers Of the opera
have always entertained the hope that he would
some time compose an American opera, and be-
lieve that he would eventually have done this had
not his mind given way"

Mr.. Roosevelt's impulsive disposition can
not be charged to any Inheritance from his
mother, not, at any rate, because she was
Southern. It is related that she hoisted
Confederate flag at her home in New York
during the Civil War, and therein was demon
strated an indomitable spirit that may have
been transmitted to her distinguished son, but
he has no prototype in the Bullocks Of Geor-
gia. he is sui generis. Heredity in him is
very much mixed so far as nationality goes,
and no particular trait Of his unusual char
acter can be attributed to any particular
strain.--Nashville Banner.

brought his tremendous powers of ratiocina-
ton to contemplate the fact that our gold
certificates are not full legal tender, and yet
they are worth their par value everywhere
Why9 Because there is gold in the treasury
to redeem every dollar Of them
AS for the "demand notes. the full legal
tender stamp when put on them added
naught to their value, for they were worth as
much before as after that act. And speaking
OF value, Mr.. Watson, the free trader, abomi-
mates the dogma that Government can create
value by act of Congress; but as fnancier,
Mr. Watson holds that it is the imperative
duty Of Government to make value by statute
and enact that it shall be legal tender, at
that.
When the first real greenbacks we're issued,
in February, 1852, the Government had already
sold nearly $2OO,oO0,0OO bonds, and stimuli
taneously with the issue Of greenbacks the
Government authorized loan Of more than
ten times the amount would be now. In
order to enhance the price Of the bonds, the
Government plighted it's faith that the interest
on them should be paid in coin. The only
way the Government could get the coin was
to collect it from the taxpayers, and hence the
law providing that customs duties should be
paid in coin; but the Government accepted
greenbacks for internal revenue taxes, and we
had an income tax in those days, too, as we'll
as an inheritance tax, to say nothing Of excise
on whisky, brandy, beer and tobacco. Here
was an enormous hole into which the green
back could be dumped, and yet it fell in value
to nearly one-third of par, though it was
legal tender for debts due from man to man.
If the most powerful and the most opulent
nation in the world can "create money!"
so can the weakest and the poorest nation
do the same thing. A miracle is not matter
Of strength, but thing of faith
The paper money of the late Confederate
States of America is absolutely worthless as
a medium Of exchange; but suppose that
Government had coined 100000 gold pieces
OF the weight and fneness of our double
eagles? Every one would be worth 500 in
every mart the world around where men
Christian or pagan-trafic, and no one
legal tender anywhere under the sun.
There were banks in Massachusetts, in New
York, in Indiana and in Kentucky that uttered

had to tax out Of existence before the green

back would circulate at all, even with its
legal-tender attribute.
Mr. Watson is a greenbacker, pure and
simple His creed is that whatever will
satisfy debt is good money. We are glad
that Mr.. Watson is prosperous man; but
