Wo see liy ono of our exchanges that some coDgrcwmen are expressing great Indignation bccanso tho president has told some of his Intimate friends that unless a currency bill Is passed ait this session bo will call together tho next congress In extra session to provide for tho emergency. Ho ’b threatening con gress, they say; trying to bulldoze it into accepting bis plan, llut sensible pooplo, not affected with a blind hos tility -to iMr. Cleveland, will bo apt to see In bis intention to call congress to gether only tho purpoeo to put a stop to tho process that Is rapidly increasing the publ'o debt without doing anybody any good. Tbcso indignant gentlemen are probably among the persons who object to any chsngo of tho laws ex cept tho enactment of & free silver law, and who are furious wllli the president for Issuing bonds, because by Issuing them ho has prevented tho cur rency of tho country from going to the silver basis. But as the country has not declared la-favor of free silver, oml the laws command tho president to maintain tho equality of the d'ffer- ent kinds of currency, there Is no Just causa for their Indignation. They ought not to expect to secure so tre mendous a change In the financial pol icy of tho country without) having gained tho consent of the people to ibat change. If it were to come as the result of a failure of tho president to do h's duty under the thws, ho would not only bo guilty of an unpardonable crime against tho welfare of his fellow- o'tlzcn, but of an offense against his oath of offloe. BE REASONABLE. r i Thd dlapatelio* yesterday reported that a million and a half dollars In gold havo bora engaged for export today. Tills gold Is taken directly from tho treasury, Into which the last payments of gold raised by tho lesno at bonds havo but Just (icon paid. Tho trans action ts therefore a striking Illustra tion of tho process that has been going on now for a year or two, anti that has done much to intensity bus'nesa dis tress. Tho government, In order to protect tho.currency from depreciation, uses its credit to put gold Into tho tretkury, to be used In redeeming that currency on demand. Tho demand 1» made, notes taken In and gold paid out, aad Immediately, under the «ynt- pulston of law, tho cotes are again paid out by the treasury, to bo used again In drawing out gold for export. It t* a process that can go on lodefln'.tely. It Trill go on Just aa long as there is a w'.tlidmwal Of foreign cap'tal from tho United States, balance of trade against us, or a redtmdancy of money from w hatever cssse In tbs financial centres that male** United States bonds desir able •> an investment for Idle money. it Is In the face of a situation like this that, the Washington correspon dents soy, congress will (to nothing with the currency qurerUon-—wtU allow the gorommaat to remain in its present helpless oondWoo, forced to provide gold for tho use of exportora, and tn doing so to increase its debt, or elm to allow its different kinds of money to part oompany. It la very bard to belters that a congress mads up of sen sible men, however they nuty differ as to what la the ideal system of eurreoay, will permit the present intolerably bad system to continue In force. The plan submitted by Presidreft Cleveland may cot be perfect. We do not think that it ka. But it offers a bads on which a good law can bo quickly built up, If our cocgroesmon will earnestly set about tho work. If they fall to do this —If because they cannot agree among themselves os to details they permit bo present process pf Increasing the About 1878 'Mr. Richard P. Bland be gan to bo prominent os an Advocate of tho free coinage of sliver. Two years lator tho compromise law was passed, hearing h'a name, under which four hundred million silver dollars wore coined. In all these years tbat have Intervened Sir. Bland lias been known by tho country only through his prom- Inenco In tho effort to bring aliout free coinage. He ts everywhere recognized as tho author of tho free silver move ment, bb the most prominent man con- heated with it, And ns a thoroughly hon est and alblo man. In tho elect'ons this fall ho was opposed by tin anti-freo coinage 'Republican and badly beaten. Ills district, after supporting him by largo majjorit'es for twenty years, grew tired of him, or his theory—It docs not matter which. Thn prominent faot Is that tho leader of tha free coinage movement, tn s d'strict which ho had represented for twenty years, which had always given him large majorities, was defeated by & omul Id ate opposed to the views which were supposed Uf make him slreng with the people. But die change has not affected tile conduct of Mr. ltlaud. He Is bnok In Washing ton, beginning tils service In tho last three months' term wh'ch he wilt know for some time to come, and Is at work again on the old lines, trying to Induce the coinage oommLttloo to iimiHullatcly raport to tho houso a bill requiring the free colilhge of silver at tho 10 to 1 ratio. He knows perfectly well that such a report would bo useless—that Urn bill could not become a law; but halving devoted twenty years of Ills life to -tho riding of his bobby and realizing that whntovor of famo he has attained- ts due to tho persistency and aggres siveness with which ho bus forced this hobby on tho attention of tho country, ho refuses In tho faco of defeat and repudiation, even by his own district, to abandon It Nobody wffl question the fact that Mr. Btaud Is an honest anil earnest man, but ho Is no longer a useful man. Having devoted his whole Ufa to the pursuit of a single purpose, ho Una lost alt sonso of proportion. Ho does not realize that what was reasonable in 1870 may t>© visionary In ISM. Ho re fuses to realize- that conditions have changed during that long period, and is therefore no longer worthy of trust a* a legislator. If -Mr. Bland and those who havo co-operated -with him had boon willing to accept tho facta of tho situation, Instead of devoting tliem- selves to a single purpose which was obnoxious to n majorityof tho pooplo of tho country, they might) have done much to prevent tho evils of legisla tion on tha currency question from which the country suffers; but because they could net get what they wanted, they hare refused to ooneeut to any other reform. It Is to bo hoped, for tho sake of tho country, that tho lessons of tho last elcottwis will not bo lost upon others, as they were upon Mr. Bland. If meu so radical control tha polloy of congress, or oven are a form- tdabto minority in it. they will be able to prevent valuable Kw-larion and per mit the present wretched currency sys tem to remain intact What is wanted to congress Is a tUspnptUoa to do the very best thing possible under tho circum stances, U each faction is determined that no change shall bo mails except precisely tho change -wiuoh ft desires, then no change at all will be made, and tho people in New York and abroad who want to pot the'.r Idle money in United States bonds will continue to have an opportunity to do so about every six months. WIDE OUT AND START OYEB. It seems tBat the Lexonr InvnrilgattOu will go on forever, and that Mr. Goff will oooUnne to unearth evidence of most astonishing corruption on the part of tha police officials of Now York. When too itrrcstUptCon began, it was with too utmost difficulty that anything seriously compromising these officials could bo d'seoverod. The witnesses were cautious and apparently Mr. Goff could only get bold of the men who knew least of what had been going on. But now It seems easy enough to prove tho rascality of any man on the force. Every day facta are brought out that a fow mouths ago would bare excited a tremendous sensation, but now they go almost unnoticed. So much 'has boon discovered that ts bad that the capacity of people to bo ostoulshod seems to be exhausted. If tho courts set out to puntah all tho men guilty of trafficking In crime, they will have a tremendous Job, and If New York Is to bo reformed by employing these same men to enforce fho law, tho prob- ob'llty to that tho reform will not amount to much. Tho new mayor would do welt to como as near wiping out and starting over new as ho can. SHORT TALKS WITH MANY PEOPLE. ■Mr. J. W. Cabanlss at the Exchange Bank told mo yesterday tho outlook for business prosperity was dally brightening. "Of oourbe,” said bo “we In tho Woffth ore feei ng somewhat blue over 5-oofft cotton, but wo ought not to feel os bad as we do. The purchas ing power of money today Is much greater than It was when cotton sold at 8 or 10 oants.

He likes It ns a spurt, but when it Is popularized) and played In Maoon to rile Unandat advantage of- the public library he likes it mill better. "Orders for Christmas Jugs are al ready oomlttg In." said a bjg whole sale liquor dealer to mo yesterday. “You would be surprised to know how many Jugs are sent from Macon every December to supply the demand for Christmas eggnog». Every wholesale liquor deader la Macon Is already be ginning to feel the new life which the nuir approach of tho holiday season brings, i am going to have BOmetlilus to say through the Telegraph apropos of Christmas eggnogs, and the whisky that makes the best kind of this de licious beverage,” said the dealer. “Travel over our road to Florida to simply enormous,” said Mr. Jim w. Carr to me yesterday. "I know what It has been In the past, and I can nay without hesitation or equivocation that la is larger this year than ever before. Why, every train that passes Macon going South, Is literally crowded with tourists from the North, who ore en route to Florida for health and pleas ure." Mr. Carr says that the increased travel via the Southern may be la a measure duo to the present line connec tions of that system and Its Eastern feeders, but thinks it Is certain that Florida is having a larger number of visitors this year tliua ever before.

Looked at in ccCd blood, with A dis passionate eye, the UngM- part ot Du Muuriw’s drawings fall to pieces and have not even a technical leg left upon which to stand.

Look at poor Trilby, tor Instance, -eUring on the model stand while SwengaH plays tho Roeemonde of Schubert, one of her feet, for which she is often posed, protruding bare from under The edge of her skirt.
