THE CURRENCY PROBLEM.

Salient Feature* aa It Develops Before the Lower House. On the 19th Mr. Johnson (rep.. Ind) admitted the delects of our currency system, but he said their correction could not be obtained along the lines suggested by the committee. It was much easier, he declared, to attack the present system than oiler a safe substitute for it While remedial legislation might be advisable. this was no time for experimental legislation. Mr. Johnson then contrasted the advantages of the national banking system with respect to prompt and satisfactory settlement against failed banks and of security to note holders, with those of the state bank system revived by the bill. Mr. Warner (dem.. N. Y ) advocated the pastage of the bill because of the proposed rehabilitation of state banks, and because of the [act that it took the government out of the business of issuing currency. Mr. Kills’ (dem., Ky.) opposition was largely based upon the fact that the bill provided for % reorganization and extension of the national banking system, when every state and national sonvention of the democratic party for years bad declared against it, and this at a time when the necessity for their services as fiscal igents. if it ever existed, had absolutely passed. Mr. Bland (dem.. Mo.) gave notice that he would move to amend by substituting for the bill bis free coinage of silver and coin note icheme. On- the 21st Messrs. Pendleton (dem.. W. Va.), Russell (rop.. Conn.), Sickles (dem., N. Y.). McLaurin (dem., S. C.) and Rawlins (dem., Utah), participated in the currency dislussion. Mr. Sickles said that he would like to see the measure perfected in order that he could give a cheerful vote for a bill intended to relieve the financial embarrassments of the country. Two evils, said he, threatened the nation. First, the serious drain of gold from the treasury as a result of the outstanding legal tenders. In this bill he found no remedy for this alarming menace. This fact constituted his first criticism of the hill. It was in this respect inadequate. The government paper was in reality a government debt which ought to be funded. ••‘Let us return,” said Mr. Sickles, “to the sound principles of the days before the war. Let us adopt the McCulloch plan of funding the greenbacks." Mr. Springer (dem.. III.) then offered a substitute for the pending bill. It consists of the imendments which have been agreed upon by the democratic members of the committee; others that were suggested by Socretary Car-lis-10, the author of tho bill that has been under consideration all the week, as well as certain features of the Carlisle bill which it has been deemed advisable to retain. After laying the substitute before the house. Mr. Springer briefly explained the important changes made in the Carlisle bill and their effect as follows: 1. Permitting the deposit of currency certificates issued under section 5,193 of revised statutes, to secure circulation as well as the deposits of legal tender notes and treasury notes. These certificates represent legal tender notes actually held in the treasury, and the effect of depositing certificates is, therefore, the same precisely as to require the deposit of notes. 2 So amending the present law as to permit state banks to deposit legal tender notes and procure these currency certificates in the same manner that national banks are now permitted to do. 3. Dispersing with the provision which authorizes an assessment upon the national banks to replenish the safety fund for the redemption of the notes of failed banks, and, in place of this provision, insert one providing that the collection of the one-fourth of a cent tax for each half year shall be resumed when the safety fund is impaired and continued until the safety fund is restored. 4 Authorizing the comptroller of the currency instead of the banks themselves to designate the agencies at which national bank notos shall be redeemed. Tho effect of this will be to secure the redemption not only at the office of the bank, but at other places accessible to note holders.

6. Dispense with the provisions compelling existing national banks to withdraw their bonds now on deposit and take out circulation under the new system, and in lieu of that provision insert one permitting the banks to withdraw their bonds, if they see proper to do so, by depositing lawful money, as now provided by law, and then to take out circulation under the new system if they choose to do so. 0. Providing that the notes of failed national banks which are not redeemed on demand at the office of the treasurer of the United States, or any assistant treasurer of the United States, shall bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, from the date of tho suspension of the bunk until thirty days after public notice has been given that funds are on hand for their redemption. This imposes no obligation upon the part of the United States to use its own funds for the redemptions, as the safety fund is in the hands of the treasurer, and he will redeem notes out of that fund. On the 22d Mr. Coombs (dem., N. Y.) spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. Bell (dem.,Tex.) opposed the measure. Be said that he noticed that the practical direction of currency reform was toward contraction. Mr. Bowers (rep.,tal.) and Mr. Bryan (dem., Neb.) also opposed the bill. The latter attacked the administration viciously for dumping on the committee on banking and currency and the house a hastily considered hill like the one pending. Its weakness was demonstrated when, after four days of verbal bombardment, it has been practically withdrawn and another measure substituted. Mr. Bryan said that, stripped of its verbiage, this bill was a simple proposition to authorize tho government to loan banks money at a low rate of interest, or at no rate, to be in turn loaned by them at whatever rate they could secure. “Mr. Cleveland thinks,” said Mr. Bryan, “that the issuo of currency is a function of tho banks. Jefferson declared such an issue is a function of the government and thought the banks should go out of the issuing business. I am not ashamed to say that I stand by Thomas Jefferson and not Grover Cleveland-” Mr. Bryan said he had been and was now in favor of gold and silver money because the amount of money would depend on the law of supply and demand.

WORE BINNION’S SHOES.

Noel Foster Believed to Be Guilty of the Mysterious Fana Murder. Litchfield, 111., Dec. 24. Deputy Sheriff Edmunds, of Fana, passed through this city Saturday with Noel Foster, of Pana, the supposed murderer of young Binnion. He had on Binnion’s shoes and his overcoat had blood spots on it, which he had evidently tried to wash off. He denied everything, saying that he was in Mount Vernon when the crime was committed. Foster is thought to be guilty of another murder in Pana, which has been a mystery. He was taken to Taylorville to jail.

A MIRACLE IN TEXAS.

Investigated by the Texas Christian Advocate and Vouched for by Dr. O. EL Stansbury. (From the Texas Christian Advocate.) Our representative has made a careful investigation of the H. E. Spaulding case at Longview, which is here published for the first time, and which will be read with great interest by medical men everywhere. In reply to the Christian Advocate’s questions Mr. Spaulding said: About eight years ago while running a locomotive I contracted sciatic rheumatism in my left side from my hip down. It came on slow but sure and in a few months I lost control entirely of that member, it was just tho same as if it was paralyzed, I was totally unable to move out of my room for a year and a half, six months of which time I was bedridden. I tried every remedy suggested, and had regular physicians in oonstont attendance on me. I was bundled up and sent to Hot Springs whore I spent three months under the treatment of the most eminent specialists, all of which did me no good, and 1 came back from the springs in a worse condition than when I went. I came home and laid fiat on my back and suffered the most excruciating agonies, screaming in pain every time anybody walked across the room, the only ease I obtained being from the constant use of opiates. After three months of this kind of agony, during which time my entire left leg perished away to the very bone, my attention was called to a new remedy called Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, by Mr. Allison who is now train dispatcher at Texarkana, and who was relieved of locomotor ataxia of twenty years duration. At his urgent and repeated solicitation I consented to give them a trial, after taking a few doses I began to improve. I continued taking the pills and kept right on improving until I was finally cured. My leg is just the same size now as the other one, and I am sure that Pink Pills not only cured me but saved life. The reporter next visited Dr. C. H. Stansbury, a graduate of one of the medical schools of Kentucky, and a man who enjoys the confidence of everybody in Longview. He said: “I know that Mr. Spaulding had a terribly severe attack of sciatic rheumatism of which I tried to cure him; used everything known to my profession in vain and finally recommended him to go to Hot Springs. He came back from the springs worse than when he went and I thought It was only a matter of time until his heart would be affected and he would die. I also know that his cure is the direct result of the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” “That Is rather an unusual statement for a regular physician to make, doctor.” “I know it is, but a fact Is a fact, and there are hundreds of people right here in Longview who know wliat I say is the truth. I also know Mr. Allison and know that he was relieved of a genuine and severe case of locomotor ataxia of twenty years standing.”

A DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.

Unique Case Whore Both He and She Each Wore ’Em. There was sorrow in that little home. “I shall never forgive him! Neverl Never!” she cried. Then ske threw herself upon a divan and wept bitterly. There was a ring at the door bell. “Ah. my dear mother, it is you!” she exclaimed, as a woman of commanding presence entered the room. . “It is I," was the answer. “Why do I find you weeping?” “I have been cruelly treated by the man whom I had trusted—the man whom we led —who led me to the altar. ” “Has he struok you?” “Worse!” “Deserted you? Left you to face poverty alone?” “Worse. He —he asked me to mend his trousers.” “And you?” "I refused. And now—oh, horrors— I cannot tell it.” “Speak, my child, speak.” “He has worn my bicycle bloomers down to his office." “Wretch!”—Life.

“I just think it’s shameful the way Sallie Spittle jig spits Blang,” said a Harlem society girl to a friend in the elevated car. “My! If I twirled my talker as she does, my blooming old dad,would tan my duds until the dust was thicker than fleas , in fly time.” “You betcher yer brass and serve you right,” replied the other young lady. “My parents are sunflowers of the same hue, and if I should make a raw crack in my conversation they’d thrash the rosy cussedness out of my angelic anatomy quicker than old Parkhurst yanked the tiger out of his blooming hide.”—Texas Siftings,

Expressive Sentences.

With a plentiful supply of this, a hunk of pumpernickel and a glass of beer, he was perfectly content. —The amount of fatty matter or oil in maize is far greater than in wheat; in the latter, oil composes about one per cent.; in the former, from six to ten. —Friendship is the only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed.— Cicero. “If my cmployerdoes not retract what he said to me tins morning, I shall leave his store.” “Why, what did lie say?” “He told me to look for another place.”—Harlem Life. “I’ve been pondering over a very singular thing.” “What is it?” “How putting a ring on a woman’s third finger should place you under that woman’s thumb.”—Life.

Chrysanthemums.

He lured me from the flrelit room Adovrn the garden path, to see The white chrysanthemums in bloom Beneath the cherry tree. And while the autumn twilight fell In tender shadow at our feet. He told me that he loved me well. In accents silver sweet I heeded not the faded leaves; 1 never heard the wailing wind Which mourned amid the silent eaves For summer left behind. The golden hours might all depart; I knew not that the day had flown: My sunshine lay within the heart That beat so near my own. Now, spring has come, with flower and bird; And softly o'er the garden wails. By warm south breezes flushed and stirred. The perfumed blossom falls. New buds are on the hedgeside spray; New grasses fringe the country lane; But never in the old sweet way Shall we two stand again. My mother olasps my listless hand, And tells me that the roses blow. While all about the happy land Drifts fragrant hawthorn snow. But looking from my lonely room Adown the path, I only see Some white chrysanthemums in bloom Beneath a cherry tree! —E. Matheson, in Chambers' Journal.

Bitter-Sweet.

A couple once, that had lived in quiet, Quarreled and split about their diet He said: ••’Tislamb.” ”’Tis mutton I” she cried. •* And good mutton, too, and naught beside.” And finally, as things grew worse, They appealed to the law and got a divorce. When seven long years had passed away They chanced, in good humor, to meet one day. And then they agreed the hatchet to bury, Again to love and again to marry. Thev were married then that very night, With hopes of happiness full and bright But at breakfast she said with a sort of Jeer: “ That was mutton, you know, my dearest dear!" —Juliet-Romeo, in N. Y. Sun.

la Our Great Grandfather’s Time, «big bulky pills were in general use. Like the „ Assist Nature a little now and then, with a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby removing offending matter from the stomach and bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver and quickening its tardy action, and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pimples, blotches, eruptions, boils, constipation, piles, fistulas and maladies too numerous to mention. If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their bowels, they would have less frequent occasion to call for tlieir doctor’s services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases. That, of all known agents to accom?lish this purpose, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant ellets are unequaled, is proven by the fact that once used, they are always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to furtlier constipate, as is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity, with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and indigestion.

No Substitutes For Royal Baking Powder. The “Royal" is shown by all tests, official, scientific, and practical, stronger, purer, and better in every way than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority is privately acknowledged by other manufacturers, and well known by all dealers. If some grocers try to sell another baking powder in place of the “ Royal,” it is because of the greater profit. This of itself is good evidence of the superiority of the “ Royal.” To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. LOOK with suspicion upon every attempt to palm off upon you any baking powder in place of the “Royal.” There is no substitute for the “Royal."
