The currency issue is alive, and the kicking is general, and it will go on with vim and vigor until equitable currency laws are passed. The ladies who incline to leanness and hone to he plump as a partridge and fair as a lily, should confine their diet to wheat and its products, potatoes, bread and butter, salads plentifully supplied with olive oil, cream and milk. If anything else is drank it should he water, as it is very fattening. There were li,29l2 business failures in 189-4 against 15l’42 in IS'J.'l, with liabilities of $10.1 238,-401, as compared with $346,779,889 in 1893, During the past seven days there were 350 failures throughout the United State, against 511 the corresponding period last year. There were seventy-eight bank suspensions in lo94 and 598 in 1893

The opponents of the income tax have two strings to their bow—they are working the Senate to prevent the making of an appropriation to make the law effective, and they have resorted to the courts, securing the ablest attorneys possible, where the fight will be to have the law declared unconstitutional. It is the old story—wealth seeking to evade a just proportion of the expense of government, the benefits of which they are most interested in.

The hypnotic fad is being worked for all it is worth in the criminal courts—in Kansas a murderer is endeavoring to escape the ..penalty of his crime by pleading that it was committed while he was under hypnotic influence, and Minnesota and Ohio have similar cases on hand. One of two things should ..be done— the hypnotists or the hynotized should be suppressed, and the sooner the better, if human life is to be sacrificed by the cult, without redress on its devotees.

The Republicans are worried "over the possibility that the present Congress may not be able to agree on any of the proposed laws relating jto the financial conditions of the country now under consideration, and they fear that the President will call an extra session of the new Congress, which is largely Republican, to work out a remedy for the situation. For political reasons the Republicans do not desire an extra session, as it would put them in a position to make a record almost sure to he condemned by the people at the elections of 1896. We hope that the present Congress will find a sure, a safe and a sound remedy for the financial ills we sufier under because of Republican misrule in years gone by, but it will not harass our feelings to any great extent’if the question is left open for decision by the next Republican Congress.

The day is at hand when the business men of the country—the farmers, the mechanics, the merchants, the manufacturers—will take tho affairs of government of cities, of counties, of States, and cf the United States, out of the hands of politicians, and look after public affairs themselves. There is wide distrust abroad in the land in regard to the ways and de vices of men who make a business of politics. The people are wisely coming to the belief that public business affairs are in no way different from private business affairs, save in magnitude, and the successfnl, careful man of business in private walks of life is more capable of taking a hand fn the management of public busi ness than the politician, who in nine cases out of teu is a failure in the management of his own business concerns, be they ever so small. The politician of this day and age, when he secures place in the federal service, is apt to see how little he can do and how much he can secure iu the way of pay and perquisites; the reverse is true of the business man in the private affairs of the world—his aim is to see how much can be w-ell done at the least expense. If public opinion can be so concentrated that the business men can be given a chance]tnd the time-serving, perquis ite hunting professional politicians given a vacation the country would be benefitted and the political organizations of the country would he strengthened—they would not be constantly under suspicion, as they are now.

The first necessity in the way of currency legislation is to enact a law making all bank and government paper redeemable in coin—this gold hug business should he “stopped short, never to go again the people are tired of being robbed by the shy locks who take toll as the gold goes into the U. 8. Treasury and take toll again as it comes out. The New York bankers are out in a maniiesto in which they assert that Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle “is antagonistic to the interest of the financial men of the country.” This is remarkably sad, but it leads to the conclusion that Carlisle is not antagonistic to the interests of of the common peoole who do not pose as “financial men’’ for the reason that there is a dearth of finance in their exchequers. The recent punishment of a newspaper man at Paducah, Ky.,by a man who had been “written up” in a scurrilous manner in the colums of the news paper was a violation of law, and as such should be condemed, but the newspaper man who gives place in his colums to personal attacks of scandalous nature on individuals deserves about all the punishment he ever gets. It is the province of a newspaper to print the news of public interest, hut prying into private affairs and purveying scandel through the columns of a newspaper, with malice and hatred as the incintive, in unprofessional and cannot be too strongly condemed. An exchange says: The camp follower of journal ism who, will prurient imagination and lying unscrupulousness, makes a trade of invading private life and fishing out or inventing filthy “stories” for his paper is an evil against which the law affords no adequate protection. The self respecting press and the self-respecting, public have suffered much from these depraved scandalmongers and both are iuteristed in self protection against them. The trouble is that usually irresponsible themselves, these creatures’ victims prefer to ignore rather than incur unsavory notoriety by paying any attention to them. Besides, in a contest with such antagonists honest and decent men are at great disadvantage, and generally submit to outrageous vilification rather than openly resent it. Encouraged by such immunity, these vagabonds ply their nefarious business with increasing audacity and are practically supported in it by a class of readers who make a market for such garbage. It is not strange that now and then one of these cor ruption purveyors meets death at the hands of a victim. The strangeness of it is that more of them do not suffer that late

An Expert on Silver. Dr. Edward Sness is professor of geology in tho University of Vienna. He is best known to Americans in connection with his investigations of the gold and silver question. Ho has lately written a book called “Tho Future of Silver.” Tho senate finance committee ordered tho work to be translated, and it is now issued in full among the United States government publications. For this the country must thank tho senate finance committee. A German scientist never hurries anything, but takes time to find out all there is to be known about it. Consequently “The Future of Silver” will bo ono of tho most useful books that could be printed just now in America. It is to bo had froo by applying to tho government printing office. Briefly, Dr. Suoss finds that tho passible goldfield discoveries are now limited to a very small section of the globe. Tfvre may yet *<r> found mires iu the interior of Africa, but that is practically the only part of tho earth that has not already been ransacked. Deep underground gold mining is so difficult and costly that it gives no promise of ever being successfully prosecuted, and tho mines near the surface, tfio only ones that pay, are rapidly becoming exhausted. Tho center of gold production in Russia has steadily been pushed farther and farther east till it has nearly reached the sea. The gold product of California is less than a third of what it once was, while that of Victoria, Australia, has fallen to a fifth of its former yield. On the other hand, population is increasing rapidly, and tho demand for gold iu tho industrial arts is increasing in proportion. The only relief is, therefore, in tho estimation of Professor Renss, to turn to silver. Tho professor declares in so many words that it will bo impassible for gold to supply the future currency of the world. To hie mind it is no longer a question whether gold shall furnish the metallic currency of civilization. It is not even a question of whether wo shall have bimetallism. If tho world is to continue to have a metallic currency at all, that metal must be silver, and silver must shortly become “the standard metal of the earth.” Ho regards f hi« us inevitable and only a question ot a mue time.

To Protect Bicycle Tires. T. T. Overshiner, a dentist at Elwood, has invented a means of stopping the wear and tear on the pneumatic bicycle tire, protect it from punctures and make it so the wheel can be ridden on ice or glass. The plan is very simple and according to cyclists does away with all the weak points of pneumatic tire. The outside of the tire is simply covered with small plates of aluminum fastened to the tire by means of rivets. These plates are small and are set close together, leaving the tire still very flexible. The dentist lias his own wheel rigged up in this way and has given it a thorough practical

test.
