The Atlaeuti Constitution says: "A foreign banker In New York says that goal will continue to go out until our 'rubbish paper money' la retire,].

COUNTY BONDS. Tho treasury department has decided that a county may issue interest heav ing bonds of u small denomination, in tended lo bo used as clmaUulug hulls, Without laying Itself llnlilo to Iho pen alties of the federal statute imposing a tax of 10 per rent, ou ull circulating notes. Tho distinction drawn liy the treasury between these county notes and those Intended to he Inhibited, Is based ou Iho Interest bearing quality of the former, aud wo thluk Unit the declslou In tho matter a perfectly proper one. But wo do not expect any considerable, addillous to llni volume of the circulating mcillmn lo conto of It. Uxporlvneo baa demonstrated that note* bearing Interest, when Issued by n state, city, county or jorporntlon whoso credit Is good, will not cltvulnto —not because they arc aot good enough to bo used ns money, but beenuso they are tosLSiwd. Aa tho Interest accu mulates upon them, they became more valunhlo Hum money which hears no luterett, nnd ai>>, therefore, held liy ■non who bavo capital nnd can use It In no more prodtahlo way limn by hoarding these notes. Ou Iho other baud, It Iho Issuer ha* not good credit tho note* are not capable of use ns money, because they are refused liy evorybotly who kuows that there is sumo ouuao for suspicion that they will not bs paid at maturity. THE SENATORIAL CONTEST. A Careful' Calculation of tho Chances ot CaudhUtcs.

The third entry Is Hon. H. O. Turner. Mr. Turner's fr.euds claim that he will bo able to go iuio tho legislature with a following of fifty- three votes, hi* section giving the b.ggost lVmo- rratlc majorities.

FORGOT TO BUY A FRONT DOOR. •“o the Owner of a Now* Bouse Had to Go In and Out by tb* Rear.

An Englishman on Our Trait of Hope- 'fulnesa. In the true American there is not an atom of pessimism anywhere. You may talk to him till doomsday, but you shall never convOnc- him that there 1s -any real risk of things going permanently wrung. Ho will admit tuny amount of supenu-tal wrong*, but at the bock of his mind la the conviction 'Chat things ure bound to worry t tiro ugh —vi conviction whtrh has come to have all the (oree and tnfluenoe ot an In stinct. Tilts colksMol hopefulness, this eascntOal and Ineradicable optimism, makes It Mom foolish to bother about Utile thlpgs, say*' n writer In the London Spectator. The English man Is forced not do tolerate social or political .wrong*, because he has al ways the feeling this It ts eonodveble the social fabric way collapse and the nation go to ruin. With him the feel ing la: “I must look alive *nd use ev ery effort, or we Shall very likely go on tho rocks." The American on the other hand feels: “I am shooing clear ahead Into calm water, and nothing can atop me reaching It. WTiat docs It matter then It I sm kept back for A minute or two by this or that eddy or backwash!" The origin cf this optimism Is not Ar lo seek. What wonder that the men who ihrosr off the burdeiwom* connec tion with the otd world, and. aa they thomaivi, ended forever the encleac tale of wrong land misery, believed that they were the heir* u1 all the ages, and could not miss making something nobler and better out of human*octety than had ever been m*d* before? The grant West, and all It* promise* *<f material proeverlty. was Just opening out before them—"a banner bright un furled before them suddenly.” What wonder that the men who tmd ao splendid a physical, as well a* eo magnificent a moral, horizon, should have been filled with Infinite hope?

Ac* of grave evds, and tolerant checks him foolish—hut and of things Whisk are really tatolcrable, baa also its good aide. It gives the na tion an extraordinary recuperative power. Mr. Rudyard Klp’.lng, writing the u;h« ^*y of the Chicago rioter*, in-some versas^pubUatted In the St. JaL-nAs Gazette, spake in condemnation of the spCrit ot the American: “Tliait leave W.m car el re a 'mid his dead. The scandal of the elder earth.” But he did not forget to note the other ohwrjcteristic of the Amerloan, and how at once “He turn* hi* keen, untroubled (see Home to (he Inst.lot need of things.' One mayregret that the American iliv not bake M* sejmSuU a lUtle ni-we to heart; but one cannot help admiring the way In which he aot* on the prin ciple that It's uoclcas to cry over split n.llk. Tills optimism, however, doss n»re than merely produce a careltso toder- ance and an untroubled revolve to make the best of things. It gives a sort of sunfllneeafa the national character (but Is very attrrotlve. but which you mla» in the Emrilahmin In England. Take them as a whole, the Americans are the kindliest vacs on 'the face of thp •uirth. In esite of theta- eagerness, their push, their desire to toe in (he front rank at all lima* and fllisearane, the true American seldom ■fills In klndnexx. He wanes badly to prevent anyone get ting ahead of him. mentully, phyolcaly, end ni'jratly. but K his competitor falls In tlhe struggle he wllf make untold mcriflees to belD him up.

The moment, how ever. that Brown. Jones or Robinson aetuarily ,v-xo under, he Is treated wl’h the utmost kindness an consideration. The hand that struck him down Is In stantly Stretched forth to help him, and ns much cure and 'trouble are used to put him on hie feet once more as were originally employed to knock him off them.

A Question That Is Attracting the At tention of Socialists. It tons been repeultedly pointed out. and universalty titeoepled as * truism, that She herding together of large communities of people In towns Is as sociated with ttihe worst e(feats Upon the'health of tho population. In eup- port of 'this stallament stahlstlos show that thi*ro la a marked difference be tween the uriban «ind rural death p.rtra; In other worte, ithe farmer ts distinctly higher 'than the latter. The point, however, to be Inquired Into in this oonnrotlatn ts, can It he asserted th'.vt the higher mortality of town dis tricts Is necessarily nssodiulted with racial dotreloriMon? Ts It true that, the effects of the "greait 'town systems" are 'to cause deterioration of the race, as the result of »S)A(h a high imorballty follows? Probably a good .many per son*. without reflection, would be pre pared 'to answer nfllrmaitlvely to these questions! nevertheless, (here are undisputed facts on record which prac tically prove the contrary.' The follow ing Is an extract from (the reports of the Auehropymetri'c Committee of the British Assoctalon, which will be found In gbe volume of the proceedings of the association published' in the year 188S: ; ‘Few etatWUcs are In existence whfch help lo throw light on this sub ject. It Is generally believed that the population In the manufacturing towns of tho north of England Is rapidly degenerating, but a comparison of the stature and wejghts given In the re port of tbc factory commissioners of ism. and In the report to the local gov ernment board on 'change In hours and ages of emplcymunlt of children and young persons in textile fac.toriel! 17873. shows that Uhls Is not the case. On tho contrary, an examination of table xxtir. showing these measure ments In stature, and a very large Irtcrross hi wdlBht, at com*ponding ages. The Increase In.weight amount ed no a whole year's gain, and a child of 9 year* Of age In 1873 weighed as much n* on# 10 years of ego In 1833, one ot 10 as much aa one of 11, And one of 11 na much as one of 12 years In the two periods respectively." In discussing the various questions Which have Arisen In connection win the subject of th!« article I have free ly to EtOmlt that 1 started with the con viction 'that here was Ample latitude for the expression of .in optimistic opinion. To mbak extent, however. ‘!>n remarks contained In the foregoing pages hove Justified the assumption of tMs atotHtfde, It Is not for me -to aay. Neverheloss, most persons will con cede that It Is an easier thing to "pull down" than to "build up." to »xy that the.race I* degenerating than to prove the contrary, to condemn wholesale the exacting conditions of She nineteenth century existence firm to point to those redeeming features by -which the harm nasoo-Vated with those conditions la nullified. Clearly the difficulty In the case Is the evidence of sta'Ustical evidence. It.la, however, eminently satisfactory to not* "that in perhaps the only Instance In which a trustworthy •tnitltUcal inquiry Ira* been undertaken tho results ore such os to accord with the view that no racial deterioration Is In progress. In time tt my be that more figures will be ftnsficomln* to testify to this facte but mesnwhlle It is obvious (hat the dCseusslons on this subject mtitt be, to a large extenr. based upon mere speculation. Aa long as this continues to be the ease, there are certain to toe from time to time alarmist notes sounded, and dlssemtnx- tton of avlvers* off.nton* respecting the malntalnvnce of the longevity of the race. Consolation, however, under these circumstances may b.« ‘ derived from the reflection that, so fir, no Ir refragable figure* have been produced ■tending to establish tbc Met that, as a race, our downward course has begun.

Hamilton nnd Dayton have else booked six of the present members of tin present board of directors 'to retire. * It has been claimed all along ihnt the Southern railway people would en deavor to secure, control of tlui Queen nnd Crescent system through the pur chase of the Alabamn Great Southern road and offered tho Cincinnati, Ham ilton end Payton syndicate ?500,000 more than they paid for n .majority of the .Cincinnati extension bonds. Mr. Orcsnough rate hurt night that while the Southern railway was anxious lo get bold of the property, as Cincinnati axis the gateway between their lines and Now York, they would probably wait anl buy the stock. The election will amount to nothing, as the road Is In the hand* of a receiver and will remain so beyond the term of the directors. The suit In foreclosure will result In placing the stock on the market at auction, and the party which bids the most will get It, and that cannot be known till after the sate. The Southern Railway Company will be a bidder, as It controls nearly 8,000 miles of Southern roads and has all tbs capUgl that It wants and It wifi be likely to bid all (hat the stock Is worth.
