Sep. 25, 1895 THE GREE N BACK ELEPHANT. It Is evideutly a part of the pro gramme of the "sound moneyj' men to retire the greenbacks, amounting in j the- aggregate to $346,861,016 and the Sherman notes, amounting in j the aggregate to $144,495,280, making a total of $491,306,266 to be taken out of the volume of our cur rency, or nearly one-third of the whole amount. It is said that Sec retary Carlisle will ask for this and that President Cleveland will rec ommend it in his message to the next Congress. j fThe reasons given for this are that the greenbacks are a war currency for which, however well it may have performed the service for which it was issued, is not only no longer nec essary, but is a constant menace to the Treasury, which it can keep drained of gold, a Very small num ber of these notes sufficing for that purpose. This is true, for if they propose to run the Treasury on a gold basis, and! per sist m redeeming this paper cur rency in gold, andtoust keep on re issuing it according to law, j it will always be a menace to the Treasury. But this is a difficulty and an em barrassment of their own creation, and they have no right to complain and throw the responsibility on these notes than they have to 'charge them with the deficiency in the Treasury. When the specie resumption act was passed the greenbacks were made redeemable in coin, land it - never entered into the thoughts of any one, save John Sherman, that they were tbjbe paid in gold exclu sively. If such a thought had ever occurred to Congress it would have provided for a larger reserve, and would never have passed the law making it obligatory on the Secre tary of the Treasury to re-issue these notes alter they had been re deemed and a often as they might be redeemed. To have done so would have been a piece of superla tive stupidity. Without any authority in law, but under a general j act to provide for emergencies, Mr. Slier man, when Secretary of the Treasury, issued bonds to" get not - "coin" but gold, because silver Had then been partially demonetized, and redeemed in gold, in which practice he has been followed by every Secretary since, on the plea that if they refuse gold, when it is demanded, it will be a confession of inability on the part of the Government to redeem its - paper in the "best kind of money" and .this would injure the credit of the Government. . j The Sherman notes were distinctly made payable in "coin," but these, too, when presented, are redeemed in gold. ... j Of course it is absurd to j talk of ! : redeeming nearly $500,000,000 of notes, even if the Treasury was full ot gold, when the Secretary is required - to reissue the greenbacks redeemed. No matter how many times they may be redeemed they go back into circu lation, and are there to be redeemed again-. ; If it was the intention to re deem them in gold Congress made a ,-ridieulous spectacle of itself when it passed the act requiring their reissue, but as that was not the intention then Congress cannot be justly charged with having played the fool. ! i The fact is that law was passed to prevent the contractionists from ' playing the .very same game they are playing now, and dangerously contracting the volume of the cur rency by redeeming and destroying - the greenbacks as they bad been do ing up to that time. Just as it would be nQw there was no, currency to take their place then; but the . con tractionists, or specie resumers, as jct buvac lu v.aii iucuiaciTO,utuu i :arc for that, but desired it, for every raorrar taken out of the volume of the currency added something to the value of the dollars left in, a very large,! portion . of . which ; they.-jibso- lutely controlled, thus to a consider v-ablc extent CPtrolling the. Whole r volume.' ' . - v. ' I y - 1 v--- : , ....... 1 "In their efforts to retire the greeny backs and Sherman notes' now it must be borne in mind that they who advocate it are uncompromis ingly opposed to any addition to the volume of our silver money by . the coinage of any more, silver except on impossible conditions, such as an "international agreement, and. they are also opposed to the estab lishment of State banks of issue, which they consider even more ob jectionable than the free coinage of silver, so that they propose nothing to take the place of the retired notes, save whatever enlargement they might provide for national bank notes, and thati would not be very much, as these banks would take very good care to keep the volume of notes down to the point that would make their paper more valu able and oav them best. Thiswould.- - , , i make these banks absolute masters of the monetary field, and would make the money borrowers and busi ness of the country utterly dependent upon them. They would be a mo nopoly then sure enough. The essepce of this movement is that they intend if they can to re tire these notes and issue in place of them about $500,000,000 of bonds, entailing -upon , the people an addi tional interest charge of about $15,- 000,000, which would come out of the toiling millions who now bear the brunt of taxation, and by which no one would be benefited but the hold ers of the bonds and the money-lend ers who would profit by the contrac tion of the volume of the currency, We do not think they can do it, for we do not believe a Congress could be gathered in Washington, what ever its politics, which would have the audacity to so defy public sent! .ment and to so flagrantly legislate against the interests of the people and in the interests of the banks and gold manipulators. But they are going to try it all the same, and have been doing their best to "educate" the people up to that. MEH0R MENTION. Discussing the condition of the gold reserve, and the folly of getting alarmed at its decrease, the Boston Commercidl'BuUetin pertinently re marks: "Keturninp; to the gold reserve, we think that a great deal of hullaballoo about the weakened reserve has been fostered by those gentlemen in Wall street who make money by depressing the value ot other people s property. If they can raise a scare and unsettle conn dence, that is their business, and they fatten on the distress of the commu nity. Since the Treasury has established the gold reserve, gold has become a commodity of trade and speculation, and it is dealt in for profit just like cotton or wheat. If there is a pres eat or prospective demand for it, at home or abroad, the speculators wil gather it in as lively as they can. and will raid the reserve in the Treas ury and pull all they can out of that. The deeper the pull the sooner the necessity will arise to replenish it, and then there will be another chance for the gold manipulators to make some more : money by furnish ing gold for the bonds issued. Out of the 65,000,000 of people in this country there are probably a thousand all told who keep their eyes on that reserve and stand ready to raid it when there is a chance for profit in the raiding, and these it is that keep up the clamor and express apprehension when they have made a hole in it, and urge the importance of filling up the hole to maintain the credit of the Treasury. They stand ready to do the filling if the offers are tempting enough, and to raid again when the filling is done. The New York Herald finds upon investigation that real estate in all of the growing cities of the country is steadily prising in value, which it attributes to the fact that such in vestments are considered safe, even if they should not yield a large in come. This, of course, has some thing to do with it, but there are other reasons which exercise a greater influence. As a matter of fact for the past twenty-odd years our towns and cities have been growing at the ex pense of the country, where real estate has father depreciated than risen in value, the tendency of pop ulation being from the country to the city instead of the reverse, which would be the case if the country was in a healthful business condition. As cities grow, as matter of course real estate increases in value,- and people who were once in only moderate circumstances become wealthy by this continuous increase as the cities expand and their business grows.' Property that sold by the acre in time sells by the foot and commands more per foot than the acre cost. There is hardly a city in the United States that Wasn't within it citizens who have be come rich in this way without an ef fort on their part. .They simply bought or inherited real estate- "hung on to it and the wealth came to them. Every property owner in a city who improves his property adds some thing to the property surrounding and so every new street laid out and conyerted into a thoroughfare does likewise. Thus the .circumstances all favor the owner of real estate in a growing city. u We live in a day of competition, competition in nearly everything. Now not only the manufacturer, but the farmer ot one country is the competitor of the manufacturer and I the farmer of -another. Labor-sav ' ing machinery and rapid and cheap transportation have created a revo- ution in the condition of tne wona in this respect. This fact seemy elt by the. farmers of the imtisn sles, who have for some time oeen suffering much from the competition of other countries, for they can no oneer ' raise ' wheat and meat to compete with the United States, Argentina, Russia, xuui Canada The result . has been a re:i duction of over twenty five per cent. in the wheat acreage fof England, and the conversion of much' land once devoted to grain and other food crops to pasturage, and the raising of hogs where they formerly raised cattle for beef, and the dairy. Where this is going to end, or what the fu ture has in store for the English farmer, it would- be impossible to predict, for instead of this paraly- ino- rnmnetition -decreasing it wilt continue to increase and he must be the sufferer by it. England, how ever, is a gold standard country, where everybody, according to the theory of the gold monometainsts, ought to prosper. A crazy man in New York jumped few days ago from the top of a four-story house, imagining that be was iumping from Brooklyn bridge. This isn't remarkable inasmuch as the man was crazy, but it is some what remarkable that the suddenness with which he hit the ground didn't do him any harm.

It appears from evidence in the Federal Court at Wilmington that the arms recently seized by the i ed- eral Government were shipped as "hardware m such a way as to ex cite no suspicion of using the terri tory of the United States for a mili tary expedition. It is evident, therefore, thatT the great official shrewdness shown in going back- of .the prima-facie evidence was perni cious activity. All the Government has to do in such cases is to prevent military operations inside the United Mates, snipping hardware is not a military operation within the mean- ing of the law. When the hardware consists of arms they must be openly obtruded on public attention before the. -transaction in them can cease to be commercial and become martial. -iV. Y.

A flour covered battalion of small boys moved along tho Western boule vard, near Ninety-second street, yes terday afternoon, that would have proved an inspiration to any artist. A littlo chap of fivo years had been commissioned to purchase a paper bag of flour at the corner grocery, 'and as he was on his way home he dropped the parcel, and his wails summoned a flock of . sympathizing and diminutive frionds, who rallied to the rescue. There were only1 three pounds of flour in tho bag to begin with, and perhaps never since flour was invented has so small an amount covered such an area. Every chap scooped up what he could m his lit tle grimy hands, and during the op eration the 5-year-old looked on hopefully. Flour never looked so white before, and he had no idea there was so much flour in the world, for although there were six friends they couldn't begin to lift it all with their 12 small black paws. The baby brain grasped the hopeless truth, and with renewed wails he directed his erring and flour tipped toes home ward. . Spectators gathered all along the line as this miller's brigade moved up the street The loud cries testi fied to the boy's distress and were responded to by the mother, who grasped the situation at once. When she laughed everybody laughed, and then everybody threw away flour, and everybody brushed everybody, and the wind blew the rest of it away. -1 ' The sun came out, and that was all.-New York Press. Nicholas As a Christian name Nicholas positively came over with the conqueror. He landed in the parish of St. Nicholas, at Pevengcy. Domesday book contains only one Nicolas, undlsflgured as yet by that intrusive as pirate, which has also taken undue posses sion of Antony, though It has dropped out, en revanche, from Hadrian and from Han nah. From the conquest on the Nicholases multiplied and were very abundant. I find the name most frequent In medieval doc uments. Nicolas Breakapear was the only Englishman ever made a pope; Nicholas Bidley was the burned bishop, while Sir Nicholas Bacon was father of the man who, there is every reason to suppose, did not write "Hamlet," "Macbeth" and "Othel lo." Nicholas Udall, master of Eton, was the author of "Ralph Roister-Doister," the first English comedy. In Scotland the name got shortened Into Nicol, in which form it was borne by many a "kinless loon," as well as by the immortal Baillie Nicol Jarvie." Pope Nicholas V, who founded the Gapella Nicoolina at the Vat ican, gave it a fresh lease of life. But the reformation scotched it. It lingered on awhile in some half hearted way, and re ceived its coup de grace from the grotesque combination of Nicholas Nickleby. Corn hill Magazine. , - The Women Didn't Vote For Women.

Thereafter the journey between shores is a voyage of delight. There are no distractions, no mall, no telegrams, no rinsing of tho telephone, no morning newspaper. Tranquillity reigns supreme. Early rising, much brisk walking, six meals a day and sound sleep make up the programmo of tho voyage. In the faster diips one misses much of this. You no sooner get accustomed to the sea than you come in sight of land. . .- finrift on the other side, expenses vary ' much with the locality.

Ono instanco may suffice to prove this point. I bought tickets for a journcj which I had planned out to in clude the follojving places: Liverpool, Ches ter, London, Harwich, Antwerp, Cologne, the Rhine to MaycnCe, Heidelberg, Nu remberg, Munich, Innsbruck, Venice, Mi lan. Lucerne. Interlacken, Bern, Geneva, Paris, Canterbury, and so back to London for 89. At the hotels in these places excent London the bills averaged less than $3 a day, and some often no more than $3, and I' went always to such hotels as were pronounced first class in Baedek er's guidebook. That will give an idea of the cheapness with which ono may see Europe. For $50Q one may spend two months in the old world, counting his fare from Now York and baok, and may live as -well as most people deserve to live, perhaps better. After the items of expense tho next nec essary thing is method, ir tho happy tour 1st can stav about a year, it is not bo essen tial to makd plans in detail. But if there Is but two-months' time, then it is best to make out an itinerary. Let us scttlo be forehand just where we expect to be on certain days. ' Ono convenience of such an itinerary is that you are thus enablod to buy your tick ets for the round trip. You thereby save money and much trouble. You are not compelled to make change at railway sta tions in foreign coin, nor to converse with ticket agents in unknown tongues. You can go to tho office of ono of the great tourist companies in New York or in London and tell where you want to go and sret the tickets for tho whole trip. Tho first journey abroad is the most de lightful and the most difficult. Tho ele ment of difficulty comes from a desire to see tho whole planet in six weeks. The next time you are content to scttlo down In pleasant places and rest and invite your souL It is best on tho first journey to make a wide circuit, to carry few letters of introduction and not to present those, to devote oneself to seeing as much as possi ble. I venture to map out hero a two months' journey from New York back to New York which may offer some sugges tions to tho uninitiated tourist. Wo will leave New York upon a Satur day and arrive At Liverpool by tho follow ing Saturday at least. Wo will spend Sun day in Chester, at tho fine old cathedral. On Monday wo will see Warwick and Ken- ilworth: on Tuesday Stratford-on-Avon, which is close by; get a glimpse of Oxford on Wednesday, and so to London, where we will settle down for a week. Tho following Wednesday we will spend In Canterbury, and thence, by Dover and Ostendc, to Bruges, and Friday night we may spend in Ghent and Saturday and Sunday in Antwerp. Tho next week wo may take a run up into Holland, to Rotterdam, to Tho Hague and Amsterdam, coming down to Brussels and to Waterloo battlefield, and bo to Co logne for Sunday. Then a Rhine journey to Ehrcnbreitsteln and Mayencc, a glimpse at Heidelberg and Strasburg and Bale, and two days, ono of them Sunday, In Lucerne. At Interlacken we will seethe Jungfrau,' the fairest of the Alps, and then to Bern, and byway of Dijon to Paris for fivo days. Between Paris and Calais is AinlensJ where we must see the great cathedral, and then to London for a day, and up to York and so to Edinburgh for Sunday, . Then through tho Trossachs by coach and over Loch Katrino and Loch Lomond to Glasgow and thence, with a break at tho English lakes, to Liverpool, again arriving on Friday, and sotting sail on Saturday afternoon for home. This trip is not recommended to inva lids, but people in reasonably rugged health are quite equal to it . Thora are no long railway journeys in it, as we count length. The trip might be made more comf ortablo by leaving out the Scotch part oi a ana v staying longer in some ot the continental towns. , All this, however, will serve only as a first suggestion. Tho wise traveler will provide himself with guidebooks, and with these experienced counselors he will map out his own journey in his own way.

The first mention of the "red coats,'' which were so detested by the American patriots of Revolutionary times, is found in a cir cular letter by Edward, earl of- Derby." It bears date of 1547, and is to the effect that "hereafter all foot and light horse 'soldiers will appear in n red coat made in cassock fashion. " St Louis Repub lic. ' J ' Words In Use.

From a letter written by Rev I- Gun derman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Kiru's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives function she was brought down with rneumonia sue ceeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last honr Uh little. interruption and it seenu. j it she could not survive them. A iriend re commended Dr. King's New Discovery, it was quick in its work and highly sat isfactory in results."
