The probabilities are that the cur rency scheme which will be present ed to Congress will elicit a pretty lively discussion, and be considerably altered before it finally goes through, if it does go through. The New loric i5fu doesn't like it at all, and has begun to Bhow its inconsistencies propeny it migni De eajieci a tioia tion of the contract; because it iorces the debtof to pay in but one kind of money, and that the harder to getr when ho could have paid in more than one. Practically speak ing this doubles the obligation of the debtor and makes it twicg, as hard to redeem, while it puts into the pocket of the creditor twice as much as he is entitled to or ex pected when he entered into the agreement with the debtor. Js there any justice in that? But this isn't the first time that this has been done, and the Govern ment and the debtor class swindled by so-called currency legislation, which was nothing more nor less than robbery under form of law e xpost facto law. At the close of the war between the States every dollar of Government indebtedness was payable in 'lawful money of the United States." At that time there was in circulation about 1480,-' 000,000 in greenbacks, all "lawful money" of the United ' States, in which the obligations of the Govern ment might be lawfully paid. The holders of Government bonds soon began a systematic war on the greenbacks and sucoeeded in chang. ing the contract substituting the word "coin" for "lawful money." This destroyed the pre on rift1 Ira m for paying government obligations went, but still left them legal ten der as between citizens in their transactions with each other thns discriminating, by law, between the citizens in their dealings with each other and the holders of Gov ernment obligations in their deal ings with the Government. This was simply a case of buncoing the Gov ernment, the buncoers being the gentlemen who hold Government bonds, which they bought at a dis count and many of whioh were paid for in these same greenbacks when a dollar in gold was equivalent to two W0EZ FOE THE LOBBtffST. The indications are that with the numerous jobbing schemes which will come before Congress there will be work for the lobbyist, and he will doubtless be on hand. Noticing something said by Mark Hanna, the New York Post remarks: "Senator Hanna announces in an interview at Cleveland that the Shin Subsidy bill, which failed for want of time in the . last Congress, will be taken up and passed at the approach ing session. 'The bill will be fiercely opposed by a strong lobby, backed up by foreign capital," he says. If that is true, it will be a battle between two lobbies, the Hanna-Payne bill being itself the product of one of them. It is a bare faced grab at the public Treasury, and if successful will be the forerunner of many others. Mr. Lu bin's bill for a bounty on exports of ericultural pro ducts is much more meritorious. It ought to be attached to the Payne Hanna bill, with a proviso that the bounty be paid to the farmers whose products are exported. Bounties for an inausinous ana meritorious per sons ought to engage the considera tion of Congress in connection with the Ship Subsidy bill. The Per Diem Pension bill will not be far behind it, we juage, ana tfus is certainly more meritorious than the Hanna-Payne bill. Indeed, there is no. rascally scheme in the lobby at Washington which may not claim the same right of access to the public chest" In talking about foreign lobbyists Mark Hanna is raising the cry of "stop thief" to divert attention from the lobbyists for the schemes in which he is interested. But he can't fool anybody with that kind of talk, for any one with two grains of sense can see through it at once. If there be any need for them Mark will have lobbyists enough on hand, and they won't lack "capital" back ing either. '. IWHBHCB 1.

It declares that the standard nit of value 'shall' consist of twenty-five and eight tenths grains of gold nine tenths fine, as if it did not now consist of just that quantity of gold, and the committee in their report accompanying the bill recom mend that the nation 'shall' adopt the gold standard, as if it had not yet done so. This is historically false and politically a blunder. The act of Con gress of Feb. 12, 1S73, known as the Mint act, expressly made '900 parts of pure gold and 100 parts alloy the standard for gold coins, and the gold dollar of twenty-five and eight tenths' grains' weight the unit of value. To say, in effect, that this act is not now in force is pure folly. '"The second section of the bill pro vides that all interest-bearing obliga tions of the United States for the pay ment of money 'now existing' shall be payable in gold. This is a change in the agreement by holders of existing obligations payable in 'coin' to 'accept silver dollars in payment, which will not be binding on the nation, if, here after it chooses to dispute it. The sec tion further -declares that 'all' obliga tions, public and private, shall be per formed in conformity with the gold standard and then immediately de clares that 'nothing herein contained shall affect the present legal teader quality of the silver dollar.' TT contradiction which needs to be re moved. "In the third section and in several -other places the bill speaks of the United States notes and Treasury notes issued under the act of July Hth, 1890.' Treasury notes are United Tu11 otea if hey anything, and the $346,000,000 of old legal tender notes were not issued under the act of July 14th, 1890. but under the act passed long before that date The language of the bill in this?espect i-"-v w uo uivus clearer. "The provisions of the. fourth sec tion for the maintenance of the gold reserve fund seem to matte it the cuty of the Secretary of the Treasury to keep the fund up to the limit of 25 per oent-of the volume of notes now out sUnng without regard to the amount f6"1 . 1116 whole of the notes might be paid in a: d redeemed, and, yet, ap parently, bonds would have to be sold nSUptfhS ninal 23 percent..

Having got rid of the greenback, as far as they were concerned, their next move was on "coin," the object oemg to stop the coinage of the sil ver dollar, so that they wouldn't have anything to fear from that. They succeeded by the act of 1873, which closed the mints on silver, but the Bland-Allison act re-orened them and brought silver to the front again. Now they are making an other effort to relegate the silver dol lar by substituting for "coin" the word "gold," making all obligations payable not in "coin" but in gold, the very thing they tried to do in 1873, and did, practically, until the Bland-Allison act restored silver. mi i j.ney made war on it again during Cleveland s administration and suc ceeded to the extent Of repealing the Sherman purchase clause. And now they are making the final fight in me enort to.rob the Government and the people by establishing by law the single gold standard.

"It may seem incredible, but it is none the less true," says General A. W. Gree ley in Ainslee's for August, "that in an electric age which daily garners the news of the earth fur commercial and popular use the question of instanta neous communications, as an important war factor, has failed fully to impress itself on cither European or American tactitians. In the United States the standard textbooks of the American army, 'Security and Information' and 'Art of War, contain not even a page of matter on electrical communications. Tbis condition of affairs in America may be said to emphasize only the fact that we are a peaceful nation and have been content to ignore advances in the science of war. In Europe, however, where prog ress in military science is considered scarcely second to that of commerce or industry, there has been, on the part of recognized authorities, a similar lack of appreciation as to the great value of electrical communications in war. in Oermany the latest and most im portant exposition on war factors and their practical application is found in Lieutenant General von der Goltz'a Conduct of War,' which does not con tain even a paragraph on the tactical or strategical value of telegraphic or tele phonic communications. Derrecagaix, the French writer, in 'Modern War barely alludes to the subject in less than a dozen lines. The indifference in Amer ica seems the more striking when It is considered that in this country not only have visual signaling. teWrnnhv nn telephony been invented and developed, but that in the United States they were first applied to actual warfare. Never theless, the conditions have been so ad verse that It was only by strenuous ex ertions, and partly on personal grounds, that as late as 1891 the signal corps of, the army was saved from obliteration and an inadequate organization of 10 officers and 50 men effected. Its snhno- quent maintenance and continuance have involved no end of effort and struggle, as the corps was yearly decried, repeated steps were taken to abolish it, and its an nual appropriation was for stricted to $3,000."

How it rained that day! The surface of the lake was beaten flat and quivered under the storm of silver bullets.

All around the homeless shores the ever green trees seemed to hunch their back and stand closer together In patient mis ery. Not a bird dared to sing not even, a red breasted crossbill. It felt as if we were a thousand mUes. from everywhere and everybody. Cities, factories, libraries, colleges, laws, pal aces, theaters, temples what had we dreamed of these things?
