At last, the people who are interested in fastening the gold standard upon this country have hit upon a plan' which they think will atop the ’‘endless chain” feature of the present system. Representative McCleary, ehairman of the sub-committee charged with the elab oration of a new currency bill, has re ported such a measure to the full com mittee. The novelty of this is that it pre vents the raiding of the United States treasury to gel gold for export by pre senting greenbacks for redemption. The government, unlike a bank, has no w-ay of getting gold in an emergency .except by issuing bonds, as Cleveland s administra tion had to do. This is to be effected in the following way: National banks are to gradually change the basis of their note issues from govern ment bonds to Issues based upon commer cial assets. This Is to be done gradually. After one year from the passage of the hill banks may reduce their bond deposits one-fourth each year. To obtain elr< illation on their commer cial assets, the banks must deposit legal tender notes with the United States treas ury. In place of them, the banks will re ceive a new class of notes, called "nation al reserve notes." These are to be re deemed in gold by the banks on demand, out of a gold reserve fund which another section of the bill provides the banks shall establish. Each bank will be allowed to issue notes, based upon its commercial as sets, to the full amount of the reserve notes issued to It. The government legal tenders amount to $165,000,000. These would all be converted Into reserve notes, and remain in circula tion. The national banks would be allowed to Issue $465,000,000 more of their own notes. At present the national bank cir culation is $235,000,000. So, under this bill, the money in circulation could be increas ed by $230,000,000 more national bank notes. This provision does two things: it com pels .the conversion of greenbacks into re serve notes, and limits the issue of circu lation. The reserve notes are not to be redeemed at the treasury, except in the few cases of hank failure. The greenbacks paid Into the treasury are not to be re issued, as the reserve notes will take their place. The bill thus would prevent any Issue of bonds to maintain the treasury gold. It does not reduce the volume of money in circulation. It puts upon the banks, where St belongs, the burden of finding gold for export. And the banks get the privilege of issuing notes only by assuming the duty of redeeming in gold* the reserve notes — which eventually will be the only govern ment paper money in existence. It remains to be seen how the banks will take to the scheme. On the face of it, it is strong proof of the injustice and hardship worked by the single gold stand ard—-for the reason that a currency system ■which requires so much bolstering up must be a weak and fraudulent thing. How mush simpler would be the substi tution of a double standard, which would at once put an end to this "endless chain” business, and, at the same time, supply Ihe need for an adequate circulating me dium. The government is in a sorry plight, in deed. when it must depend upon the banks alone to bolster up its financial system. Jefferson's Birthday. ‘Prior to this year there have been two celebrations of the birthday anniversary of Thomas Jefferson. The first one was in 1630. and was rendered memorable by the presence of President Andrew Jack son, Vice President John C. Calhoun, the officers of the cabinet and the Democratic members o 4 the Senate and (House. Since then no birthday anniversary of the foun der of Democracy has been celebrated till last year; and It Is again lo be celebrated under magnificent auspices in Washington this year on April 13th. It seems strange to some that these an niversaries are celebrated on the 13th of April when the biographical encyclopae dias and histories set down the date of President Jefferson’s birth as April 2, 1743. On the topic as to the day of Jeffer son s birth. Historian James Schouler makes this statement: . 3he birthday of Thomas was the 2d of April, 1,43, old style. Sixty years Later, while president of the United States, he suppressed information pn that point, be cause he wished to put an end to the of cial birthday celebrations, which had be gun under his two predecessors, after the custom o' European monarchs; nor in the memoir which he composed in his final re- Irement. and which describes his course of life up to the time when he first en e,<\ ashingtons cabinet, does he seem <o have thought it of sufficient conse quence to give this date to the public. But In his father’s book Os common prayer— which was a sacred possession—he kept a complete record for many years in his own ± an<l hero th * of his b! rth was entered with those pf his brothers and sisters ” ofTS 7. 17 t was th<? date of birth at the time Jefferson was born un prevan% c " iDC ® rrw;t . calendar, which prevailed. Greggorlan .correct calendar now in use, adopted by Great Britain Ind the colonies in 1752. required the striking calendar of eleven davs, bring- Ing the date of his birth forward eleven days, or April 13. 1743. Thereupon, it will appear that while under the "old style" the birthday of Democracy’s founder is re corded as April 2. 1743. this date, when converted into the Gregorian svstem be came April 13. 1743. ‘ One hundred and fifty-five years ago April 13(h next. Thomas Jefferson was born, but in the system of reconing then in use. the date in his book of Common i rayer was recorded April 2. 1743. There is ample precedent for interven tion. and precedent found, too. in Europe. In 1821 Greece revolted from Turkish rule, and purely on humanitarian grounds Eng land, Russia, and France intervened, and after thrashing the Turkish fleet on the Mediterranean, set Greece free. Spain’s Financial Condition. The Philadelphia Record says the state- 1 meat of Spain’s finances following, is con- j denscu Irom official sources. It does not include such floating debts i as arose from arrearages or postponed payments of current expenses for which no vouchers were in circulation—debts of ■ which General Blanco not long ago eaid ■ there were $80,000,000 in Cuba. The total of toe debt was given as sl,- i 709,303,6X2, and the annual charges for ’ interest, administration and redemption at $105,637,031. This, tor the capital sum, is $354,381,222 more than the debt in 1805. Just before the Cuban rebellion broke out, while the cost ot administration, annual charges, etc., in three years has increased by $40,000,000. Since the government credit has sunk so low in Madrid it will be hardly possible for Spain to borrow in foreign markets. It is well known, further, that tne govern ment has been asking for fresh credits on the basis of pledges of its customs duties for the interest on various specific loans. For ten years prior to the outbreak of tne Cuban revolt these duties had varied but little. They formed about one-eighth of the total revenue of Spam, but they have seriously declined. In 1885, ten years be fore tne rebellion, they amounted to $26,- 000,000. .Last January the minister of fi nance estimated that hv would receive about as much for 1807, or a falling off of $4,00,000. from the previous year—a de crease largely due to the Philippine and Cuban troubles. He further' estimated that, beyond the amount pledged for inter eest on tiia irredeemable bonds, $6,000,000 would remain pledged for new loans. This would exhaust his resources from cus toms —about the only revenue that will give Spain a foreign credit. But these have fallen off at a discouraging rate. If things conitnue this year as they have the past two years the customs receipts will be afyout $5,000,000 less than the estimates of the finance minister; and that puts an end to Spanish credit in open markets for this year based on such securities. These facts do not present the Spanish financial condition in its worst light. As the London Economist says, with some ex aggeration: “For twenty years Spain has not been able to meet the expenses of the kingdom itself, and the deficits have rang ed from $5,000,000 to $25,000,000 a year. In the five years succeeding the readjust ment of the debt in 1881 they fell behind by $26,000,000. In 1894 the resources were $10,000,000 less than the expenditures. Os course, the deficits have greatly increased with the Philippine and Cuban rebellions. It is evident that when a nation has to pledge its customs and its tobacco and quicksilver monopolies to raise money, its financial condition’has become very bad.” Restricting Suffrage. The Louisiana Constitutional Conven tion has finally adopted the suffrage clause of the proposed new constitution by a vote of G 5 to 45. The action of the convention lias aroused widespread interest, and many able legal authorities have expressed doubt as to the constitutionality of the clause. Under the new provision only the follow ing persons can vote: Those able to read and write, proof of which must be given under oath and in presence of the registration officer by writing out an application in English or in the voter’s mother tongue; those unable to read and write, but possessing property assessed at S3OO, and on which all due taxes have been paid: all male persons who wcr'e voters on January 1, 1897, or on any date prior thereto, and likewise to their sons and grandsons, provided they are 21 years of age at the time of the adoption of the proposed constitution; and to all foreigners who were naturalized prior to January 1, 1898. The payment of a poll tax is also required, but this provis ion docs not'take effect until after the general election to be held in 1900, and it will not be required of voters over 60 years of age. The effect of the clause is to exclude thousands of ignorant negroes, but to per mit many naturalized foreigners who can not speak the English language to vote. It is intended to solve the negro question in Louisiana and to prevent control of the state from falling in to the hands of the Ignorant and vicious.. This is right -and proper and there can be no reasonable ob jection to the' suffrage clause. As to educational qualification for voters Mississippi has had one for years and Con necticut only recently adopted the same plan. Rhode Island has a property quali fication. South Carolina and Mississippi, among the Southern states, require that the voter must be able to read hnd ex plain passages from the state constitution. It is evident that in time every state which has a large ignorant population, whether among negroes or whites, must for the preservation of Republican insti tutions require that voters be able to read and write. The question, of color should necessarily play no part. Alabama must be in line next with a system of limited suffrage. No state needs it worse and the people are determined to have it. J. Value of Double Crops. The following from Dr. J. B. Killebrew in April Southern Farm, of Baltimore, makese interesting and profitable reading for the farmers of Georgia: “But the advantages of the South do not consist altogether in its capacity for supplying green food, but also in the fact that several crops of forage may be grown the same season upon the same land. Mention has just been made of the fact that a crop of crab grass succeeds a crop of oats. This crab grass frequently yields as much forage as the preceding oat crop, sometimes even more. Instances are given wheYe five tons of dry corn fodder have been grown on a single acre, and even a larger tonage of sorghum. Two crops of corn fodder may be grown on the same lands; two crops of millet; two of cow peas; two or three of alfalfa; two crops of several kinds of roots, and two crops of Johnson grass may be produced. While the latter is regarded as an inevitable nuisance upon all tillable farms, it cer tainly supplies a- large quantity of nutri tious forage. It is difficult to eradicate because it has large, fleshy roots that send up shoots from every joint." Peter Cooper, who died worth a million dollars, gave some good advice to the bus iness men of every town when he said: "In-all towns where a newspaper is pub lished every man should advertise in it, if nothing more than a. card stating his name and the business he is engaged in. It nearly always pays the advertiser, and besides Jets the people at a distance know that the town in which you reside is a prosperous community of business and that the people may settle in it with a chance to make a living. Never pull in your sign in a home paper while yoq ex pect ii) do business.” Southern men arc playing quite a con spicuous part in the present crisis, notes the Birmingham News. Consul General Fitzhugh Lee is a Virginian. Several of the officers of the ill-fated Maine were Southerners. Commodore W. S. Schley, who commands the flying squadron at Hampton Roads, is a native of Maryland, and “Fighting Bob" Evans, who has just been placed in charge of the battleship lowd, was born in Virginia. A congressman from Ohio went into the navy department the other day, so says a Washington special,. and demanded in a loud voice: “When are you going to de clare war?” “Against whom?” he was asked. "Spain, of course.” “For what?” “I don’t care a what; on general principles; any old thing will do. We have* given you $50,000,000 to buy guns and powder, and now we want to hear them go off.” Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Terrell county, is a candidate for the Democratic nomina tion for the office of commissioner of ag riculture. Mr. Stevens is a practical farm er and a successful business man. and the writer has on doubt that he will fill the office to which he aspires with that abil ity and faithfulness that is characteristic of the man. The farmers of Georgia woujd subserve their own interests by electing ’Tobe” Stevens commissioner of agricult ure.—Oconee Enterprise. POWDER Absolutely l»uro 'FOR CONGRESS. James J. Corbett Announces That He Will Enter Race. James J. Corbett, the erstwhile cham pion, is a candidate for congress. Corbett seeks the Democratic nomination in the Fifteenth district of New York. The dis trict lies in Harlem and is now re-present ed by a Republican. Corbett announced his candidacy in the following telegram to the New York World: "The report that I am to run for con gress is true. I have received letters from my friends in the Harlem district asking if I would accept the Democratic nomina tion next fall. I have written that I will accept, and, if nominated, I will make a personal canvass. If elected my friends will never have e-ause to regret having honored me with the high office. "If elected I will advocate all meas ures designed to free Cuba an‘d speedily retrieve the sufferings of her people. I think President McKinley’s course alto gether too conservative.

Harrison, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Cleve land, (>., was for years a sufferer fronj dyspepsia and general debility, and in his weakened condition, resulting from the above causes, he had the additional ill-luck to fall a victim to malaria from this complication of disorders. Mr. Harrison’s condition was becoming very serious, when he commenced to take P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy. Its effects were marked and immediate. Read his letter to us. Its earnestness is apparent: Gentitemen: For the benefit of all suffering from dyspepsia and general debility I beg to submit my testimonial as to the efficacy of your P. P. P., Lipp man’s Great Remedy, as a positive cure for all the distressing complaints from which I suffered. My system was also full of Malaria and my condition was growing very serious; I had no appetite, was losing strength and was completely broken down in health, but now my health is completely restored, and I can eat like a field laborer, without the slightest fear of any serious’results. I take great pleasure in telling the world that P. P. P. did the grand work of restoring me to my accustomed health. Yours truly, JAMES S. HARRISON, Cleveland, O.
