THE GOVERNMENT NOTES.

portant changes in the designs on the
paper money of the country are to
take place soon. Secretary Mac
veagh, Assistant Secretary Morton
and Director Ralph, Of the bureau of
engraving and printing, have under
consideration a general scheme for
systematizing the designs OF an issues
of paper money In such manner
that the same portraits and emblems
will appear on all notes of the same
denomination.
It can be stated authoritatively
that a portrait of the late Grover
Cleveland soon Is to appear on all
$40 bills.
Distinctive designs for 81, SIS, 500
and $50 bills, and perhaps those of
even higher denominations, have
been prepared. The So bills may be
abolished, II is reported. II the 81
bill Is retained, VI Is certain that its
design will be such as to make II
stand out from a pile Of 81 or IS
bills, with a prominence that will
permit of no mistake in its hand
ling.
Some treasury officials are inclined
to favor even a more radical change.
and recommend that paper money be
reduced to about the size of French
and Italian notes of smaller denomi-
nations These notes are about three
fifths the size Of the American kind,
and are more convenient 20 handle.
