fully maintained, and that to do thla In the present depressed state of ImalnoM is sa much as esu bo expected of us. But our Hat advocates propose to discount all this, by a large majority. As the government can “create money” by the combination of law and the printing press, and as this is to he “absolute money,” deriving valuo from flat, and not to bo redeemed in anything else, there is no reason why the whole debt should not be paid at once. It will save us some $03,000,000 of gold interest each year, reduce the burden of taxation, and furnish all the money needed for the “wants of trade." Aladdin’s genius of the lamp aoaid s erect magnilLvut palaces in a night, but our genius of the black art is to convert ri,000,000,000 of debt into $”000,000,000 of riches by virtue of on act of congress.

A Passing Mania.

The phenomenon of the present financial agitation is the fact that the paper maniacs ignore all human history, and deny all human authority. Having a theory evolved out of their own consciousness and not out of the facts of the past, they scorn the inductive method of reasoning and answer every argument with reckless assertion. It is in vain to quote against them the unanimous voice of human statesmanship, to point out their contradiction to the principles laid dowb in all works of political economy, or to array the laws and practices of all governments. The answer is that the statesmen oFthe past belong to an era of financial “barbarism.” The political economists were subsidized in the interests of “capital,” and the laws have heretofore been made for the oppression of “labor.” If all former attempts of the government to float paper beyond the means of payment have failed, and, ended in ruin and repudiation, no matter; this plan will not, because it proposes to rest the value of paper on “fiat,” not promises of payment. If it be pointed out that the measure of values can be expressed only in something which has value, as the measure of distances can only be expressed in something which has extension, we are told this is the fogy theory of those who can not distinguish the modern processes of trade from “barter.” If we allege that it is impossible that paper which promises nothing, and therefore represents nothing, cun have value or perform the functions of money, we are told that such paper money will represent the “sovern” power of the government, which alone can “create” money. And so at every point, theories based bn imagination instead of facts are proclaimed dogmatically as selfevident truths. It is this which marks the movement a mania, and assures sound thinkers of its speedy downfall.

Republican Policy.

The campaign in Indiana should be vigorously aggressive and not made upon the president’s policy, but upon the record of the democratic party.—[Lafayette Journal. The News respectfully suggests that that plan was followed in 1876 and resulted in : electing as governor a man conspicuously unfitted for the position and previously known to be, over a Christian gentleman of spotless integrity, who had won natiqnal recognition, without the aid of official position, by sheer force of ability. The record of the democratic party will never put the republlcaua : iu power again. Most of the good that the country hopes for is to come from the republican party, but they have asked of it bread and been, given a stone too often in late years to aubinit .to that kind of a diet any longer. They will not be cod'd led into a submission to a return of the corruption and unlawful use of power which ck&racterixed the personal goyerument of Grant by the old story of how much worse the democratic party is. The people have not yet arrived at the stage when their liberties can be garroted and carried off by any political party. Witness the revolntionary intent of the bourbon hptspura to oust Hayes as the BeqmjBdS'of the Potter investigation, when tlyft investigation began. In jnst 30 days after the investigation bill passed, the folxe of public opinion swept the whole democratic party into an official declara-tieuN-tlfat they did not mean and would not fettempt to touch the president’s titfo. A more majestic exhibition of power has not been given by a people. It was a proof, if any were needed, that political -virility abounds in its ftrftest force. Where such is the condition, the cry of “wolf’ can not create a panic. The lesson of the Oregon election should be read and pondered. Oregon is republican by a thousand or more majority. The republican managers addressed themselves vigorously to the record of the democratic party. For congress they put np a Methodist preacher whose career had been conspicuous chiefly for its connection with various affairs which had attracted attention .on account of the financial discrepancies which marked them. Generally his record was unsavory. His opponent was a vicious copperhead, who ! had pfihlicly rejoiced in Lincoln’s death, and emphasized his whole political life by ‘ sinciilar actions. But his personal initegrity and honor were spotless and above reproach. The people preferred an honest man in spite of his democratic record to a sanctimonious hypocrite. The legislature also went democratic because the republicans identified themselves with a return of Hipple-Mitchell to the senate. Newspapers were subsidized. Government clerks drew pay for work in’ Washington while they were in Oregon working for Hipple-Mitchell. The “machine” was worked to its fullest capacity, and republican votes simply elected a democratic legislature. The people <4 Oregon refused to be horrified by the picture of any democratic record where Hipple-MUchall wan the alternative

Outside of the prowiee Hayes’s mlmimstration haa given for a pure and safe government, the republican party has not one thing to advance except tbs one embodied' in the brilliant suggestion of the Lafayette Journal—the record of the democratic party. It needs no prophet to foretell what headway will be made in that direction with the corruptions of (Iraniism still froth in the minds of the people, and the revelations of carpetbagism which are made daily. CURRENT COMMENT. 8. B. Chittenden, William Walter Phelps, Marshall O. Roberts and Reuben R. Fenton are the bondsmen of General Merritt, the new collector at New York. His bond is for ,000, and ca tied before . of *100,000.—[' Yet it was said the other day that Fenton was a poor man, and for that reason his appointment on the silver commission had been urged by his friends, who had previously pushed him for some place or any place under the government that would give him a salary; the idcafseeming to be that a politician’s poverty constituted a demand for government support. With one congressional committee soon to be nominally at work at a watering place near New Orleans, another to meet at White Sulphur springs, and another adjourned to meet at Atlantic City, it won’t take the two houses long to divide themselves up into special committees of inquiry and investigation to get a summer outing at fashionable watering places. Bills to be sent to the United States treasury at Washington. The Boston Herald collects the opinions of a number of leading democratic citizens of Massachusetts on the chances of General Bntler becoming the gubernatorial candidate of the greenback party, and the probability of a fusion with the democrats. While a number of the mCn interviewed admit that General Butler could draw largely from the democratic party, yet they think has recognition as 'the democratic candidate would be suicidal fo that party: ‘Should the Irish faction capture the regular convention for Butler, the respectable old fellows promise to bolt and make another nomination.

“Fiat money” U the latest Indiana financial heresy. It is simply a new term for our William Allen’s doctrine, enunciated by him on the stump three years ago, that it is the government stamp, that makes money—po maiter whether that stamp Is put upon paper, leather, silver or gold. These Indiana peojde may imagine they have struck a new idea, but they are mistaken. That theory was worn threadbare in Ohio three years ago.—[Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. Revenue Receipts. For the first two weeks of this fis* cal year the receipts of the internal revenue bureau were unusually large, and exceeded those for the same period of the previous year by $1,000,000.

N«W Mugnestiow* About nod Vast*—Bummer Coilanins, Kto, lOonwiiondtae* of The IndUuspoll* News.} Nzw York, July 18. The latest fashions for the past week for midsummar dresses exhibit few striidag points; in matters of dsUn r however, they are varied, and the new combinationa are pretty and unique. Everything in color and quality is suggestive of eoolne* and comfort. Toilettes of light ground, with dashes of bright colors or gay trimming* have altogether replaced the sombre black*, navy blues and seal brown*, which have so long been fashionable for summer. The light, graceful dress, devoid of superfluous nanierg and over-skirU, and the very sarislitctory style of under garments now in vogue, which clothe without burdening, are the most efficient aids ladies-' possess in combatting the beat. KEW SUGGESTIONS ABOUT DRESSES. The -most attractive new model is the princesse dress, designed expressly for the light, airy fabrics of the warm season. This pattern ia so cunningly devised that apparently three separate garments—overskirt, skirt and basque—are combined in the one dress. For instance, a plain princesse is made and cutoff so that awidekilt plaiting or Spanish flounce can complete the desired length of the skirt; the lower portion of the dress, which' is cutoff, is then sewed on and turned up so as to simulate the washerwoman’s overskirt, and extends behind, where it falls in ample drapery. The waist has one or two darts iu front, according to fancy, and a French back, but fits rather loosely. Flat trimming is put around the hips and waist to simulate a basque or basque and vest. A new sleeve, which accompanies this model, has the upper part very wide and the lower part close. ‘ Among the newest polonaises were noted some with draping folds in front and scant, graduated puffs behind, but they are indicative of the desire for change rather than a return to

puffs.

The curtain overskirt, brought out very late, gives a new and effective way of trimming drefses and combining materials. Two apparently straight widths of the contrasting mktenal are placed on either side of the from, meeting for some little distance, and are then drewn back and looped over the back as drapery: the sides and bottom are trimmed with heavy fringes,

BASQUES AND VESTS.

The very dressy dasques with 80 popular ihls ec-asDO, are accompaniments to most all dresses of sufficiently firm texture. Many articles and ways are employed to embellish these little garments. The vest is the . prominent or attractive point, as the jacket is cut away so as to bring it into full view. Very bright colors, either plain or striped, are used. White, black and black and white are also em-

ployed.

High colored vests when used with subdued colors are toned by covering them with gossamery black lace. Another idea is to stripe them crosswise or lengthwise with narrow strips of velvet or galoon. Tiny flashing jets or beads stud the strips when the vest ia exclusively for evening wear. Moderately large cords' finish the bottom of both basque and vest; one and two and rarely three cords are used. A tandsome basque, for a lady, made of a combination of two fabrics and colors Ikir n deep pointed vest adjusted to the figure by means of ordinary darts and cross basque seama. English side forma fit the back, the center seam is open below tho waist line and secured by small bows of silk. The iacket front extends bebiud, overlapping the side'forms aud is finished with buttons and imitations of buttonholes. The fronts are brought together over .the bust by a strap about two inches wide. Colarette and cuffs finish the addi-

tions.

Another for vdung ladies, or more particularly well grown misses, is adapted to thin materials, requiring a closely fitting lining. The design lias narrow siue forms extending well upon the shoulders with plaiting* in the seam. Tfie back and front center nieces are cut off so as to leave pretty deep yokes, which are finished with side plaitinga of the materials that end evenly with the sides of the basque. . Sleeves of the most of new dresses are without lining, and it is also an approved style to make waists for thin materials without lining, the seams being opened, pressed back arid neatly bound with narrow lustring ribbon. SI MMER POHTUMES. An elegant and simple toilet is composed of a mottled blue, drab ami yellow pattern on a white ground, combined with plain t-ky-biue. The skirt is close fitting, with stylish demi-train, and devoid of trimming around the bottom. A shirring of plain blue graduated slightly toward the waist produces a pretty effect on the mottled goods. A width of the dress material trimmed on the sides with blue bangs from the center of the basque behind, making a graceful drapery for the back. The basque has a cut-away jacket with ovalshaped neck, which displays to ail vantage the shirred vest of blue. Blue buttons are placed down both sides of the jacket from the point where it meets on the bust. The basque skirt opens behind below the waist line and the sides are drawn together and ornamented with blue ribbon bows. This pattern is easily made into pretty and inexpensive dresses by electing one of the cheap colored grenadines, and using plain bareges for shirring, etc. Dam asses, seafoam, grenadine, a«d other fine fabrics are for the expensive suits. The new curtain 'overskirts i* pleasingly shown iu the employment of the bourette tissues comprising the Persian rug colors in connection with- plain silk jor satin. . For instance, a dress of Nile green satin has the curtain over-skirt of variegated hues meeting in front and then draVn back, and looped behind in curtain fashion. Rich fringe of all tRe different shades trims the bottom and sides. The bourette tissue also forma part of the basque and other trimmings. Pale pink and delicate blue are also used in this combination. Laura Lee. Ttie French Miner*’ Strike. It is feared that S’,000 miners will be on a strike at Anzin by to-day.

He look steadfastly into the young man’s countenance, fixed bis eves on the red staia on the left breast, and then said “Shall I look atthe hole, boy?” The gambler smiled nWsan*jT and nodded his head, saying. ^ nalurai tiring to uu in these cases, I believe.” Lifting the hands,he unbuttoned the collar, and unscrewed the solitaire stud from the white bosom. The trapper knelt by the young man’s side, and laying back the lineu from the chest, wiped the blood-stain with a piece of lint from the white skin, and carefully studied the edges of the wound, seeking to ascertain the direction which tne bullet had taken aa it penetrated the flesh. At la#t be drew his face back, and lifted himseff to his feet, not a shade in the expression of his face revealing his thought. “Is it my last deal, old man?? asked the

gambler carelessly.

- “I have .seed a good many wounds,” answered the trapper, “and I’ve noted thedirco lion of a good many bullets, and I never k no wed a man Hve who was hit where yi^ be hit if the lead had the slant inwani, as the piece had that has gone into ye.” For a minute the young man made no reply. No change came to his countenance. He turned his eyes from the trapper's face and looked pleasantly off toward the watoi He even whistled a hue or two of an old love ballad, then he paused, and, drawn perhai* by the magnetism of the steady gaze which the eyes of the trapper fixed upon him, he looked again into the old man’s face, and

said:—

“What U it, John Norton?” “I be sorry for ye, boy,” answered the old man. “I be sorry for ye, for life be sweet to the young, and I wish that yc'r years might be many on the artk.” “I fancy there’s a good many who will be glad to hear I’m out of it,” was the careleJfe

response.

“1 don’t doubt ye have yer fault*, boy," answ ered the trapper, “and I dare say ye have lived loosely, and did many deeds th at was better undid, but the best use of life bo lo learn how to live, aud I feel sartin ye < got better as 3 half of yer lit figures for and agin ye would have balanced in the jedgment. “5’ou aren’t fool enough to believe what tne hypocritical church members talk, are you, John Norton? You don’t believe that there’* any judgment day. do you?" “1 fton’t know much about church members,” answered the tyapper, “for I’ve never been in the settlements; leastwise, I’ve never studied the hal.it* of the creturs. and 1 dan: say they differ, bein’ good and bad, and I’ve seed some that was sartinly vagabonds. No, I don’t know much about church members, bjut I sartinlj believe; yis, I know there be a day when the Lord shall jedge the livin’ and the dead; aud the honest trapper shall stand on one side, and the vagabond that pilfers his skins and steals his traps shall stand on the other, this is what the book says, and it sartainiy seems reasonable; for the deeds that he did on the arth be of two sorts, aud the folks that do 'em be of two kind, aud at ween the two, the Lord, ef he notes any-

was actually enjoying the crude but honest ideas of his oomnanton. The trapper hesitated a moment before be spoke, then he

said;—

“f con ceil that the jedgment be always goin’ on. It’s a court that never adjourns, and the deserters and knaves and the disobedient in the regiment be always on trial. But I concTIt that there comes a day to every man, good and bad, When the record of his deed* be looked over tram the start, aud the good and the bad counted up; and iu that day hegits the final jedgment whether it be for or agiu him. And now, boy,” continued the old man solemnly, with a touch of infinite tenderness iu the vibrations of his voice, “ye be nigh the-jedgment day, yer.sel£ and the deeds ye have did, both thegoodand the bad, will be passed iu review,” “I reckon there isn’t much chance for me if your vl|>w is sound, John Norton.” And for the first time, his tone lost its cheerful recklessness. “The court be a court of marry; and the jedge looks mxm 'cm that comes up for trial ef he was their father.” ' “That ends it, old man,”' anavv*red th* gambler. “My father never showed me any fc*rcy when I wa* a boy.'

The trapper knelt on the moea at the gambler's feat. He clasped the fingers oh his great hands until they interlaced, and lifted his wrinkle*! face upward. He said not n word; but the strongly chided lips, seamed with age. moved and twitched now and then, and a* the silent prayer went on, two great tears leave the prelection of the closed lids, and roll down the rugged cheek. The gambler also closed his eyes; then his hands pquidly stole one into the other, and, avoiding the bloody stain, rested on his brest: ami thus, the old man who had lived beyond the limit of man’s day. and the young one, cut dOTnt atthe threshold of mature life—the One kneeling on the mosses, with his face lifted to Heavtu.the other lying on the mosses, xV, » : i 1 . j| .* ■ * . ms face turneu towam the same sky, without word or uttered speech,—prayed to the divine mercy which beyond the heaven and the sky saw the two men underneath the pines, and met, we may not doubt, with uceded answer the silent upgoing prayer. The two opened their eyes nearly at the same instant. They looked for a moment at each other, and then the gambler feebly lifted his hand, aud put into, the broad palm of the trapper. Not a word was said. No word was needed. Sometimes men understand each other better than by talking. Then the gambler picked the diamond stud from the Spot where It rested, slipped the solitaire from his finger, and said, as he handed them to the trapper: “There's a girl in Montreal [hat will like these. You will find her picture inside my vest, when yon bury me. Her address is iuside the picture case. You will taken them to her, John Norton?” . “She shall have them from my own hand,” answered the trapper, gravely. “You needn’t disturb the picture, John Norton,” said the gambler, “It's just as well, perhaps, to let It lie where it U; It’s been there eight years. You understand What I mean, old man ?’’ “I undestaud,” answered the trapper, solemnlv; “the picture shall stny where it is.” “The pistols.” resumed the gambler, and he glanced at the one lying on the moss, “1 give to you. You'll find them true. You will acceitthom?” 'He trapper bowed bis head. It Is doubt-' ful it be could speak. For several minutes there whs silence. The end was evidently uifth. The trapper took the gambler’s hand, as if it bad been the hand of his own boy. Indeed, perhaps the young man had found his father at last; for surely it isn’t flesh that makes fatherhood. Once the young man moved os if he would rise. Had he been able he would have died with his arms round the old man’s neck. As it was, the strength was unequal of the impulse. He lifted his eyea to the old man s face lovingly; moved nis body as if be would get a little nearer, and, as a child might speak a loving thought aloud, said, “1 am glad I met you, John Norton,” and with the saying of the sweet words he died.
