COMMENTING editorially upon the dispatch announcing that the Harvard foot ball team had had the crimsom "II" stripped from their suits, as a punishment for not beating Yale, and that souie of the eleven "wept bitter tears" over the divestiture, the Louisville Courier Journal exclaims: "O grew6ome gobs of grumous grief' O giminie! O granny! Stripped of their pretty red Li's!" Such Humiliation! Such Horror! Such Uugouy!".

A KAKMKit of Ford county, Kas., •writes thus to the State Board of Agriculture: "There is not a farmer in this county but who could pay off his debts from this year's crop aud still have money enough to pay family expenses fur the next twelve months. The price of cattle is out of sight. Prices of certain farm products are higher here than in Kansas City or Chicago, because of home demand not on account of the bubonic plague in India."

TIIK Dingley law has now been in operation during all of three calendar months, August, September and October, aud the exportation of American products during those months was so inuch greater than during the corresponding mouths of the preceding year under the Wilt-on law that of themselves they indicate pretty clearly that none of the markets of the world has been closed against American products because of this new law. Our total exportations during the months of August, September aud October were 8291,-lti.VJUO, agaiust $3(33,{54,94'.) in the •Cjrrespjuding months of last year, showing a marked increase in our sales abroad despite the fact that our purchases abroad under the Dingley law were less than in the corresponding months of last year under the Wilson law.

EVBKYTUXNG that Henry Watter6on writes has a virility about it that is .charming. Nothing is better calculated to lilt up the hearts of all true Americans thau the following vigorously patriotic paragraph from the Louisville Courier Journal:

There were thousands of honest men in the South who thought when the Confederate armies were surrendered that there was an end of constitutional government. The Confederacy only was at an end. For, here we are thirty years later, as free as ever we wen ihe.tlig of the republic flying over 80.(11)0,000 Americans, thoroughly homogeneous and peaceful, and fortyfive States, everyone enjoying the blessing of freedom under the constitution. Let every American take the lesson to heart. We are upon the ascending, not the descending, scale of national development, and there are many centuries of greatness and glory before us as a nation and as a people. He of good faith, therefore, men and brethren be hopeful and buoyant, serve God and love your fellow men, and all will be well. Sursum Corda!

LAFAYETTE Courier: The Crawfordsville JOURNAL, which presumably Epeaks with authority, beiDg published in the home county of Governor Mount, says the Governor has stated to many of his home friends that "he has not been, is not now, nor will not be in the race for United States Senator in the approaching canvass This announcement should serve to call off some of the people who have been insisting that he enter the race, particularly when it is further explained by the same paper that "Governor Mount's ambition now is to serve the people of the State in the oilice to which he was by the partiality of their votes chosen, and make his administration second to none which has preceded it in times of peace The ambition is most worthy, and the record thus far made most promising, and it is therefore hardly correct tnat there should be interference with the programme by a coterie of politicians.

I'OSTMASTKK GKXHUL AHY makes some remarkable statements concerning the value of postal savings lunks in bringing into circulation liuurdeii mouey. He says:

Postal savings banks would put tinbreath of life into the dead uiuuc) if the United states Have you -v thought what oead tiling muney is when it is not in UM It is the o.-..ri est thing in the universe There art many millions of such dead money in the country. It is hoarded away in stockit g-, buried untier the hearthstones, lucked away behind the rafteis and planted here and there in the earth, because the owners have no faith in private savings institutions They have faith in the government, and they would bring the money out and deposit it in the postal savings banks. As to how much of mc money there is in the country, yon guess just as wel 1 as I can 1 have asked a number of men what tlie.y think the average of hoarded money would amount to per capita Sotne have estimated that it would be SKI, others S15, and some lesss Suppose, for instance, it was S5 per capita Phis would make the enormous sum of $N)-0,000.000 1 don't believe it would be less than that, though I would not like to prophesy.

THE IMPOVERISHED SILVER STATES.

Tlicy Arc tlio Moat Rapid Accumulators ol Wealth In the World! Nay* IMuIhall. The inhabitants of the Pacific states of America (in which term Mr. Mulliall, iu his concluding article on "Tho Progress of the United States" in Tho North American Review, includes Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming as well as California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington) are by far the •rapidest accumulator:: of wealth in tho world.

In tho 20 years preceding the last census they laid up foil- times as much treasure on earth as did .Miicricans generally, their annual increase of riches per capita being $150, as agaiust §3!) for the whole Union. Their farms yield more than twice as much grain as the average American farm—30 tons to the farmhand, as against 22 in the prairie, 7 in the southern, 8 in the eastern aud 14 in all tho states. They have ninefolded their total wealth ill 20 years, 17 of those years elapsing since tho "crime" (which they invented and lameut) "of 1813." They were worth §727,000,000 in 1S70 and $1,811,000,000 in ib'.H). bince that year, as beforo that year, they have enjoyed annually the advantage shared by none of their fellow Americans of taking f0 tons of one precious metal (gold) and 1,800 tons of the other precious metal (silver) out of the ground. This yearly product, worth §100,000,000, "exceeds." according to this authoritative statistician, the value of precious metals that any country has yet produced in the history of mankind."

But this wealth itfamere additional godsend, a wmdlall, to people enriched already in tho ordinary industries of their country. Their precious metal output is little over a third of their agricultural product ol §2!)-l,000,000 a year. It is not very much more than a fourth of their manufacturing output of $3(10,000,000 a year, which quadrupled in the 20 years between 1870 and 185)0.

These are the "whole states" whom a temperate and discreet "bimetallist" English authority on American affairs, Mr. Moreton Frewcn, saw "goaded into fury" by the lash of poverty which the gold standard laid on their ragged backs. These are tho people to whom ill 15 years we, the rest of tho country, tho §39 average wealth people, tho 1-1 ton average grain people, paid §-150,000,000 for silver worth §252,000,000. These arc the slates which, one aud all (save California and Oregon), threatened armed revolution because their sister states refused to take the whole of one of their less important products at two prices and told them to go to the regular market, with their silver as well as their lumber and their grain. These are the people who have made a nat ional issue and are now making an international wrangle of the question, not as to whether this smglo one of their industries should be suppressed, or even suspended, but as to whether they should receive a prolit of 100 or -100 per cent on its product.

It is with no leeling of anger or scarcely of irritation that the rest of us —we §39 Americans—contemplate tho collected proof of tho thoroughness with which we have been "done" by these §150 Americans, who have been crying all tho time that wo were eating them up with tho interest on gold clause mortgages. Nay, it is with a more than national, it is with a family, pride, a pride which a thrifty Yankeo father feels in being bested in a horse trade by his offspring, that we contemplate this magnificent record of bamboozlement. And when we realize tho lurther laefi that these brethren of ours, by plying threats of our repudiation of our foreign debts, have cozened tho old lady of Tlireadneedle street into an offer to tako some §35,000,000 of tlioir wares off their hands, we fall prostrate in reverence before their argent shrine of St Bunko.—New York Press.

The Original Kansas Silver Man. When the first white settlers arrived at Wathena in 185G, they found an old chief with quite afield of ripening corn. One Mr. Bryan (another silver coincidence) offered the chief §1 a row for 20 rows of tho corn, which offer was accepted. Mr. Bryan handed him a $20 goldpieco. The old chief looked it over carefully and then laid it down at Mr. Bryan's feet and walked away. He was called back, but would accept nothing but silver 25 cent pieces for his pay, and after considerable skirmishing enough of them were got together to complete the deal.—Wathena Star.

"And still they tell us," says the Macon Telegraph, "that tho test of a Democrat is his ability to bolieve that with silver at 40 cents in the dollar this government can fake all the silver of the world and hold it up to gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. Such an insanity will damn any party iu the world if

will stick to it long enough."

Money Secretury A Igor Needs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Col'onel William L. Trenholni, who was controller of the currency under President Cleveland's first administration, Las just submitted his views of currency reform to the monetary commission. They embrace a number of features entirely different from those of other experts, and have been carefully studied by the commission during several recent sessions. Colonel Trenholm recommends the fusion of the greenbacks and Sherman notes into one loriu of paper redeemable in gold. lie thinks that these notes should be issued in denominations of §1, §2 and §5, iu order that tho people may have confidence in the money in current cuvu'a'inii. Me believes that a redemption tund ot slot),1)00.000 wonld be suliicient to maintain the parity ot the entire volume of about §150,000,000.

Iie^ariiinir tho disposition oi the silver dollars and silver certificates. Colonel Trenholm suggests that the silver now iu the treasury be constituted into a reserve land lor the iruarantee of outstanding silver dollars, and that the silver cerrifieates in excess of the actual bullion value of tlie coins and certificates outstanding be. cancelled from time to time as th.-y come into tho treasury. He reeonimen Is that silver certificates be issued 111 denominations of §10 anil over, and that some of them be issued in denominations of §1,000. §5,00.) and §10,000 iu order that they may be held by national banks in the proportion of 20 per cent of their lawful monov vrves.

Colonel Trenholm suggests an international agreement among silver producing countries for steadying the price oi sliver. Me does not contemplate the restoration ot silver to parity with gold, but the regulation of the price so as to give the assurance to the world's commerce that there can Ix, no fur'her material dec ine in the price.
