If a citizen had a large sum of
money, in coin, as a special deposit
in a bank, and for personal reasons
wished not to disturb that deposit;
and, from some protracted sickness
in his family, he had contracted an
extraordinary debt, obligations to
physicians and druggists, that are
perfectly legitimate, and right. Now,
this citizen beiug called upon to pay
up these debts, what will lie do?
What should he do? Unhesitatingly
we say, “he must pay up.” But of
what must he pay, with what must
he pay?” But, “that deposit in the
bank is a special one, and is ot coin,
that he does not like to spend.” Nc
matter, the debt is a legitimate
and currant family expense, the
money in bank is his own, and ns an
honest man, he must use it. and
satisfy the debt. But he says, “1
have peculiar yiews respecting that
money on deposit in bank, and to
pay this debt, I will borrow money
of some other bank, and let my de
posit of coin in this bank nibHe.”
Is the man deranged, that he will
allow the deposit of coin in hank
remain idle, and for which ho is not
receiving interest, while for the pay
ment of a debt, he goes to auother
bank, borrows tbe money and pays
interest for the use of the borrowed
money? Any one managing his af
fairs u: this way would be pronounced
a lunatic, And the management
would bankrupt any citizen. Apply
this simple business transaction to
tbe conduct of the United States
treasury department ni this time.
At this time there are many millions
of silver bullion in tbe treasury’. It
is estimated that for the present
fiscal year there will be a deficiency
of $50,000,000. That is, the expenses
ol the government will exceed the
iucouio of the government that sum
of money.
The secretary of the treasury says,
he has a right to coin the bullion
into silver dollars; and to coin the
seigniorage of the silver bullion. The
seigniorage of thesilyer bullion, it is
said, now amounts to about $54,000,-
000. The coinage of this last named
item, then, would meet the deficiency
in the Income of the government.
To ooin, and put It to this use, ap
pears a proper, natuial and common
sense business proceeding. But Pres
ident Cleveland and Secretary Car
lisle have peculiar views on this sub
ject and say, “We must borrow
money to pay this debt. - ’ U. this
were a personal matter with either of
these high officials, would they be
guilty of so insane a proceeding? .Not
much.

It is probable that a special meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial col
lege will be called to assemble in At
lanta at an early date. The princi-
pal object of this meeting will Jbe to
request the Legislature to pass a bill
opening the normal department of
the college to young men.
This is a matter which should com
mend itself to the Legislature at first
sight. The Normal department 6t
the college lias been brought to a
high standard of excellence and is
now doing some valuable and encour
aging work. The cumber of young
women who are fitting themselves
for educational work is very gratify
ing and there can be no doubt,of the
thoroughness of their preparation.
But it is a serious defect in the de
partment that it is open to females
only, especially when Georgia stands
in such need of normal school facili
ties. The State needs a normal school
for both sexes, and within a few
years the Legislature no doubt will
establish one. An excellent founda
tion lias already been laid in the nor
mal department of the G. N. and I.
and it would best subserve the ins
terests of the State, as well as of the
school, to graut the request which
the directors will make and take ad»
vantage of the prestige and experi
ence which tlie college already pos
sesses.
This is a serious matter. It is con
ceded that Georgia must have a nor*
mal school. Unless it is established
in connection with the present col
lege it will have the effect of detract
ing from it. It must be either for it
or against it. Now, will the Legisla
ture tear down or build up? Will it
utilize the impetue winch the normal
department of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial College has already
acquired, or will it start all over again
somewhere else and, iu addition, crip
ple the work which the college
now doing? This department is the
most important part of the college
and it would indeed bo a pity to
strike a wilful blow at an institution
of which Georgia is so justly proud.
Dr. J. L. M. Curry, while 06 nis au-
nnal visit oi inspection, was greatly
delighted with the excellent work lie
saw going on in t.he normal depart
ment of the Georgia Normal & Indus
trial, but expressed deep rogret that
it was not open to both sexes and
hoped that the Legislature would
remedy this deefot.
Dr. Curry, it is believed, would
make a liberal donation from the
Peabody fund if tlie college were
opened to botli sexes, and. indeed, he
expressed himself to the effect that if
that were done, and appropriations
were nmdo for additional buildings
which the college badly needs, he
would be very liberal iu his dona
tions from the fund. This would, as
a matter of course, greatly add to
tlie effect iveuess of the college.
In short, let Georgia have a nors
mal school. Let it be concentrated,
and let tlie present advantages of
the Georgia Normal and Industrial
be utilized, To that end, it is the
duty of the Legislature to pass the
bill opening the normal department
to youDg men and to appropriate
money sufficient to erect the build
mgs which the college needs.—An*

Washington Letter.
Krom Our IlegularUorrespondent.
Washington, Nov. 10, 1693.
“President Cleveland.” said a gen
tleman who is a frequent and wel
come visitor at the President’s subur
ban residence, “has fewer of tlie sav
age elements which cause men to
grow offensively exultant over their
triumphs than any prominent public
man I have ever known, und I have
known many. While lie was grati
fied that Congress carried out the
ideas expressed in his message by un
conditionally repealing tlie purchase
ing clause of the Sherman silver law,
his gratification was tinged witli re
gret because a majority of the dem
ocratic Senators voted against re
peal, but he bears them no ill-will
for having done so, believing them
to be as honest in their opinions us
he is in bis own, and also believing
that time will soon show them their
error. And I wish to say and to
emphasize the statement that the
various stories Started by those who
would proDt by a division in the
democratic ranks, of the President’s
intention to punish tlie Senators who
voted against the repeal by with
holding patronage from them, are in
every ca-e purely imaginary. The
President is too big a man to engage
in that sort of business. When the
yote was taken on tho Voorhees bil|
tho contest was ended, and the dem
ocratic Senators who voted against
it will in the future receive preoitely
the same consideration from the
President, that they would have got
ten had they voted for it. I know
that to be trus.
Now that Congress is out of the
way for a few weeks it is expeoted
that a large number of important
appointments will be made, and re
publicans who aro filling offices tlie
commissions of which have expired
would better lie making their pre
parations to step down and out.
This expectation has kept a consid
erable number of Senators and Rep
resentatives in, Washington since
Congress adjourned.
The adjournment of Congress will
not result in a vacation for the dem
ocratic members of the House Ways
and Means committee; on tbe con
trary, they are working harder than
ever, as it is their inteutiou to get
the new tariff bill completed at as
early a day as possible. Daily sit
tings of the committee are now be\
ing held, under a resolution adopted
by the House, and chairman Wilson
hopes to be able to furnish the re
publican minority of the committee
with a copy of the completed bill iu
about two wedks, so that they may
have time enough to prepare their
report in order that, the bill and the
majority and minority reports may
bo submitted to tlie House together
during the first week of the regular
session.
Tlie President's message on Ha
waii’s application for annexation
was ready to be sent to the Seuuto
last week, but as the sentiment for
adjournment, was so strong it was
thought best to withhold it until the
regular session.
The Chiuese Minister was greatly
pleased at tlie action of Congress in
amending tho Geary law, and he has
promised Secretary Gresham that
the whole influence of the Chinese
government will bo exerted to 00m-
pel the Chinese in the United States
to comply with tbe law within the
six months which the amendment
gives them.
Owing to the estimates of the var*
ious departments of the government
for the next fiscal year not beiug
quite ready the members of the
House committee on Appropriations
will get two weeks of rest, bnt on
the twentieth instant they will begin
to prepare ^he regular appropriation
bills and from that time until the bills
become laws they will be on the jump
all the time. The work of this com
mittee is always hard, but it will' be
harder than usual this year, because
the condition of the Treasury makes
it necessary that every toein shall be
oarefuily scrutinized and sverytliing
lopped off that can be done without.
This to the sensible way that Sena

that has to a certain extent been in
dulged in by some cracked-brained
people about the repeal of the pur*
chasing clause of tlie Sherman silver
law resulting in a split in the demo

Tlie Treasury departmeut has is
sued temporary commissions to a
number ot officials, including Direc
tor of the Mint Preston, whose nom

Senate. It is not probable that a
commission will be issued to Mr.
