" Three plans hac In cn prfv-ented to congress, difTeriiiK' inateriallj, though having n common purpose. One comes from a s ! f-const itnted conference nt Indianapolis, another from the secretary of the treasury, and a third from a special anb-eomnslttec of the committee on banking and currency of the house of reprcsentut ii s. The lastnamed plan bai lately been approved by the executive committee of the Indianapolis confen Dae. All agree upon the creation of i separate division of the treasury! to be called thedhision of issue and redemption, to which thull he transferred jrold Coin to the amount of from 11)5,000,000 to $170.000,000, to be used for the redemption of the leyal tender notes, treasury notes of 1890, and silver dollars of the poernment. It is proposed to retire wholly or in p:rt the DOtC of the gOVernnitnt. when redeemed, in quantities nan to the bank t otes to be issued in their stead. All propose eventual!) to dispense with the deposit of public bonds nK SCOlirltj tor bank-inite isenes. so that eventually the bank-note circulation shall be baaed 00 the eoniniercial assets of the bank Issuing the notes. The Indianapolis plan would dispense with the security of bonds within ten years. The house committee's plan would bas the bank IsSUCS upon tn-sets within five years. The notes are in all eases to be a first lien upon the assets of the issuing bank, and the personal libility of the bank stoekboldera is secured. Redemption of the notes is to be secured bv deposit with the treasury of a redemption fund equal to from five to ten per rent, of the circulation. The government is to gOamntee the redemption of the bank notes in gOML Provhdsoni are made for the sale of United States bonds to innintain the redemption in pold bv the povernnicr.t. The issue of bank notes is limited to the amount of the Capital of each bank. "These ore the substantia! features of the three plans now before the public. Without regard to the methods or the details of either plan, the one purpose is to substitute banks for the povern'ent jn the repulntion of thnionetu itpply, and to stake the govern nient ultimately responsible for the redemption in pold of the entire note isSUCa of the bunks. "The Opposition to this new policy is eonJbaed to the note-issue power of the lank. There is no objection to the banking system as it exbts in the country in the form of state banks. privat banks, and trust companies, or to the peneral powers conferred by the national banking item cx nting the power to Issue currency." Mr. Williams justly says that the opposition to tln.se schemes is confined to the note-issue power of the banks. independent of their connection with the question Of the gold standard, the banks are laboring to obtain the exclusive ripht to is ne currency. If they can do this they will have the most profitable and ubsorbinp business known amonp men. The issuance of a million of money is pract ieally the acquisition of that amount of ready ea-h und institutions which arc authorized to create money without lnbor or snrrifice will b COmS very rich and powerful, and will in the near future not only povom the country, but absorb what the masses produce.

We have stuffed ballot boxes und stolen elections; we have bribed, bulldoled, cheated and perjured in our national politics; we have practiced fraud, extortion and so many other forms of infamous vv roup through the trmts und unlawful combinations which seek to control our business. that we are in the gravest danger of losing, tin ouph our own fault as a people, all that has made our life as a people noble and inspirii'p. We cannot po on exapperat inp the evil tendencies of the lat ten years without ruin- moral, political und industrial. If we do not pain for our-s'-ixes a more compelling realisation of the nieaninp of justice, it will soon be Impossible for anyone but the most consummate, grasping and audacious scoundrel t . , succeed either in our polities or In our business. Our national life is but the reflex of our social and Industrial activities. Freedom, proL're-s, civilfaut ion all that makes life worth livinp, for the Individual or for the nation, depends fundamentally on justice. Whin wo forget the nieaninp of justice; when rast combinations of capitalists leagua together as they have done in the Ugar trust, the whiskv trust, the tobacco trust, the Standard oil trust, the steel trust and a hundred others, to defeat the laws, tocontrol trade, todefrand the direct producer, to rob and oppr s the consumer, t o coerce labor, to bribe voters, to purchase elections, and, ihrouph fraudulent control of men chosen as representatives of the people to exercise, by Usurpation for wrong and robbery, the most stiver-i;ii aid vital power of povernnietit - then what hope can any honest American have for bU country or for humanity except in justice? Tin re is no other hope. There can be none. We have in the white hOUSC, a president, who, when a candidate

pledged himself to enforce laws made to restore to our industrial life that freedom, that honesty, that justice. ; without which in our business, our politics must become more and more corrupt, and the hope of preserving our free Institutions more and more desperate, Bat oar president has done nothing, w know he can do nothing. We see him at nnca the apent anil the victim of the very lawbreakers apainst whom he pledged himself to use the power of the people in enforcinp the laws. Instead of the enforcement of the laws nt home, we are offered vast schemes of colonial empire. We are told that if we accept the Imperial policies of the trusts and combinations, which are plundering our own people in Open d fiance of the law, "our morninp drum-beat shall be beard round the world," and the sun shall never set on the glitter of American bayonets, fixed to hold in subject ion weaker people, w hopin all four quarters of the globe, through our superior fraud and force, shall be made to toil for our profit am our glory !

Private corporations, whether they are international, national or state banks, cannot is;ueeash. All they can do is to put mote debt in circulation apainst cash and so increase the demand for it. Every bank note issued as a result of the Spanish war, every bond the povernment puts in the vaults of the banks, makes the free eoinnpe of pold and silver more necessary and more inevitable. We must have money actual money. Corporation notes are not money, but merely wind woven into silk pa per. Every man who favors : currency of the circulating debt of private corporations is a (hinperons inflationist.

After descending a vertical shaft for 200 feet he reached an immense hall, ripping downward, at the lower end of which was a virgin forest of stalagmites, resembling palm and pine tree. BOOM of these are of (grcat beuuty, and one, over N feet in height, nearly reaches the roof of the cavern. The truth of the adage about constant dripping wearing away a stone is strikingly illu trated in the fact that the Niagara river has been 30,000 years putting its channel 200 feet deep, 1,000 feet wide and seven miles long, through solid rock. BvidciMC is conclusive that the falls were formerly at QueemtOn, seven miles below the present situation.

The urTainly legs and peculiar proportions of the ostrich make it anything but beautiful, and its one re deeming point is the glossy richness Of its beautiful plumage. Ostrich feathers are plucked first when the bird is about s-even months old; the poor creature is cornered, a bag is pulled over his head aAd he is thrown on his side and held fast. About a dozen feathers are taken from the wings and tail at one time. In lssj 20 ostriches were imported to this country from Smith America, and sold to a California company for nearly Sl.noo apiece. Less than half a decade later the BUmber had been raised to several hundred, mostly by Importation, and the industry was established in different portions of the nrnrmer ;arts of America. The ostrich seems to thrive well in this country, and his raising is becoming a considerable commercial factor In those moderate climates where he is BueeessfuUy kept. His temper is bad.
