We have called attention to [the [practiced subterfurge that was being by the leading banks [of New York in the matter of biddiug for the bonds under the alleged popular loan idea. We have shown that they are accu¬ mulating coin notes aud green¬ backs with which to get out of the Treasury the very gold they proposed to pay into it. But it remained for Mr. W. E- Curtis to declare in the Chicago Re¬ cord that the banks were sub scribing for buncombe amounts they could under no circum¬ stances take up He says ; “A New Y'ork paper (The World) reports it has received subscriptions to the new 4 per cent, loan amounting to $16, 036,000, and the paper gives the narae of the banks sending in these subscriptions. A gentle man in the Treasury has taken pains to compare this list with the reports from the various national banks named made in December, and finds that they have only about one-fourth of the gold necessary to meet their subscriptions, and that if they ,7 paid , •, them ,, . lump , the , avaiable . in Y. cash of . some 1or 1,200 ’ banks , would , , , be leduced , to than . $o,Q00 less ( ’ aaa wO. In j fact, r , banks i , . tinrteeu . m oi the estates have suosenbed , for $2,192,000 more bonds than they have money to pay for, and in many instances the sub¬ scriptions are two, three and even four times larger than the available cash reported to the Competroller of currency.” Add this disclosure to the failure to unearth all that gold that is alleged to be hid away by individuals, and we see liow empty is all this talk about $550. 000,000 of gold in the country. ■ —Augusta Chronicle Ex-Governer W.

FEB 1 i 1896. Rapid Growth, Some figures recently given out by Col. George Moorman, of New Orleans, adjutant-gen¬ eral of the United Confederate Veteran Association, show the rapid growth of that organiza¬ tion. In the latter part of 1891 there were bui 23 camps and the outlook for general enroll¬ ment was gloomy. Six months ofter, at the New Orleans reun¬ ion, Geu. Moorman astonished the oki veterans by reporting 172 camps - At the Birming¬ ham reunion the gratifying re¬ port of 520 camps was made, and one year later’ at the Hous¬ ton reunion , Gen. Moorman re potted 660 camps. He has now 737 camps upon the rolls, has upon tile appications for 200 in addition, aud is confident the figures will reach 1,000 fore tlm assembling of the e raus in Richmond in June next.—Ex. ---- Interesting Wasihifig. ^ amusing little store is 1 onnerdon with a French ' J , nali@t wno in }lis oarlv U days as a reporter ‘ bad „ a deeply-root- , , ed , aversion . to the , regulation ... note-book , , of ...

Almand and get $1,000 The above is only a f .r: taste of what is coming Moon Oe A Tear. What was the matter the moon yesterday morning? Dozens of early risers and late retirers are asking the question all seriousness- They say tbit ( j 10 iacon presented a remarka ble soeetaclo about 4:30 o’clock y cgte rday morning Dozens of re liable wit nesses have spoken about the strange phenomenon. “The moon was red as a of fire,” said one gentleman j “its redness, however, more the tint of blood than fire. When I saw it, it was just above the horizon and seemed further to the right than it should have been. 1 never seen the moon such a color before. It was terrifying and I did not know what to make of it. While I was won¬ dering at it, the moon went down.” The strange sight attached not a little comment.

It should always be borne in mind that the silver men are nut asking anything new, nor advocating the silver standard. They are simply asking that the policy that was obsemd before 1873 be followed, and that both silver and gold be c-oincd as was the uniform practice before Chroniclo. Says tLe Georgia Cracker very truthfully, The man with a standing is the backbone of the new per and ihe solid man of the community.
