THE NEW CURRENCY.

Preparations for reyOlutionizing the
appearance Of the governments paper
money have gone ahead quietly, and
before ii knows it the public will be
handling the new notes. People are
likely TO be critical Of sudden changes
in style on the part Of old acquaint-
ances. and possibly the new issues will
be condemned by some simply because
they lack the homely familiarity TO
which the public eye has been long
accustomed.
Notifications in the designs of our
gold coins have called forth a good
deal Of excited protest, and Congress
not long ago rescinded n change order
by the Treasury Department. Yet the
average man sees gold coins only at
long intervals. while he lives on terms
Of daily intimacy with the greenbacks.
The changes in the outward aspect Of
these close companions are therefore
likely to excite universal comment, and
in that comment it would he foolish
to expect at first n general note Of
concentration.
Secretary MacVeagh gives two good
reasons for the alterations which he
has planned. The printing Of the new
notes will cost S1,0g0,00O a year less
than the printing Of the old ones, and
the introduction of uniform and dis
tlnctive styles for all notes Of the same
denomination will make II much easier
TO distinguish and count them. Tn
doubtedly when the first shock is over
we shall approve the reduction in size.
Our currency Is unnecessarily large
and is overcrowded with pictures and
reading matter Simpler and cleaner
notes will prove more presentablc.
The Secretary thinks also that he
can introduce uniformity into the is
sues of the national banks, thus saw
ing the banks much expense and Co
ordinating the bank currency and the
Treasury's own notes and certificates.
The currency has been too variegated,
and a return TO simplicity and regu-
larity Is likely 10 he q relief after the
public gets little accustomed TO the
new sizes, figures and faces. If we
can't reform the currency system we
can at least give its circulating tokens
IA more attractive outward aspect

TO PROTECT NATIVE TUBERS
Government Asks for Forfeiture
of Potatoes from Germany.

BY means Of an information filed yes

States District Attorney, against Meyer G.

Greenwich street, the government.
through the prompt and rigid enforcement
of the plant quarantine act Of August 20,
proposes to protect native tubers from
infection by scabby and warty potatoes
grown in Germany.
In the information Mr.. Pratt asks for
the condemnation and forfeiture of 200
bags Of potatoes, valued at 800, which
arrived here on October "a on the steam
ship Patricia, and were imported from
Lowe, Germany, by Meyer e. LANCE.
They formed part Of a consignment Of
5000 bushels of German tubers, valued at
$500. which came by the Patricia. The
proceeding against Meyer & LANCE is
therefore considered to be a sort Of test
case, and if the federal court orders the
