"A Possible Cur rency Contraction" is the title of Matthew ilarshall's article for to-morrow's -Sun, which reads as follows: By dint of calling in every dollar due to It and of putting off the payment of every dolur of debt possible, the National Treas ury -will show at tuo end of Its fiscal year, next Thursday, a tolerably respectable cash balance. The so-called $100,000,000 gold re serve for the redemption of the greenbacks will not only not be Impaired, but it will be buttressed by a margin of from $14,000,000 to $1",000,000 in sold, and there will piobably be on li.ind besides enough silver and legal ten ders to m ilv a total of between $125,000 000 and $130 000,000. It is onl after July 15 real trouble will be pin. Innumerable postponed claims will then press lor payment, with not enough rund on hand to meet them; the arrears of the siking tund which I compute at $20,000, 001, will hae to bo proided tor, and the ever swelling pension list will resume Its de pleting work. In this emergencv the Treasury may either po -ihe id ard boldly draw upon its cold re ser e, tru-tiug to futuie income receipts to replenish it or it may borrow money by selling new bonds. The indications are that both me isuresaie contemplated. The gold iesere will first be used, and if It cannot other ie be replenished, bonds will be sold for cold to accomplish the nuroose. In this wa the borrowing of money to meet the current expenses of the Government will bo disguised under the appeirance of borrow ing money to maintain the credit of our cur rency and the odium of financial mlsman aijment will be avoided. limitation Under the Law, The qnestion whether the secretary has power under the redemption act of 1S75 to soil bonds for gold without additional legis tion has alreadv been submitted to the House Judiciary Committee, and a favor ablo report from it is confidently expected. JVs I hive frequently pointed out, the main tenance ot a specific reserve of gold in the Treasury for the redemption of the lezal tender notes either to the extent of $100, OCO.OCOorto any other amount, is nowhere i pqnircd by law. It is true that about $95, 000,000 in gold was procured from the 6ale of uonas oj secretary snerman in 1S7S lor re demption purposes,and there is some plausi "bilitv in contending that the diversion of this $15,000 000 to other purposes would be a Dreach of good faith toward the creditors of the nation. The answer to the proposition is that nobo-li iccepts the legal tonders because of the existence ot the gold leserve, but be cause of their utility in the payment of debts Beside, in case of a sudden distrust in their value nothing short of gold enough to redeem the entire issue of $346,000,000 v onld keep them at par with gold, since any smiller amount would quickly bo ex hausted. Still, the public has heen so long nccustomeJ to look upon the $100,000,000 gold fund in tho Treasury as a sort ol palladium o flmnclnl sa'ctt, that even its partial dis apptaranco would excite alarm and dis credit the administration in popular esti nint'on As et the demands for pold for Bhlpn!nt to Europe seem to have been met witnont drawing largely upon the Treasury, but t'lls immunity cannot be expected to last much longer. A OroTTinp Feelinsr of TJneaalnesn. A feeling of uneisiness is growing among the officers of banks and the managers of private banking firms over the-e gold ship ments, which will very soon lead them to refuse to pay out gold in large amounts and ta divert the di-ain from their vaults to those of the Government. This they can do liv te idering greenbacks or bullion notes in payment of checks and compelling their customers to apply tor gold to tbe Treasury. If the Trea-ury Honors the drafts thus made upon it, its stock of free gold will speedily lillbelon sioooati.OM, and if It does not, but tenders onlj ilvrr dollars, as it clearly has the right to ao, the long-dreaded suspension of gold payments will have begun, and gold coin will go to a premium. The probability, ae I have said, is that the Treasury will pay out gold for a little while at least, from its $100,0iO,0C0 reserve, and if it cannot otherwise replace it, it will sell bonds for gold under the resumption act. It is essential, however, to the success of this expedient, that the volume of legal tenders and of bullion notes now in circula tion shall be diminished somewhat, and herein lies a possibility that the exigency of the Government on this occasion mav re sult m a contraction of tho currency instead ot the expansion which similar exigencies produced during tho war. The demand for gold to send abroad, nnd tho alarm which it creates in MToll street, proceed from the fact that the volume of our currency is danger ously near the limit at which it can be maintained nt par in gold, and that the issue or bullion notvs under the act of July 14, 1X. is continually carrying it nearer to that limit. A Palliation, Jfot a Care. The natural check, to a redundancy of J currency i the outflow of gold which we see, bnt this at present 'is only a palliation and cannot be a cure, so long as the Tieas ur printing pres- is nouring out more piper money daj by d ij. The next step will I e for our own citizens to follow tho example or those of Zuiope and demand pold fori lie mtional promises topay dollars. If the demand is met, it will likewise only palliate the evil, since the paper notes, after redemption, are still reissutble, and when jeissued they can be used to repeat the withdrawal of gold. If gold payments are to be maintained by the sale of bonds for gold, the further inflation of the currency must be stopped, and possibly its volume will I ave to be contracted. To illustrate the point more fully: Sup pose that during the coming fiscal vear the iianonil ie innes fall as much short of the demands noon them as tlii-v hat e this year, anutiat in order to meet both tuenen de ficiency and that which will be carried over lor this year, the Government temporarily pavs out so mnch gold as to leave it with, eay. only $90,000 COO on hand. Seeing this.the banks will be sure to hold fast to all the gold in their vaults, and to pay out, as tar as possible only leial tenders and silver. Then, supposing, as is very likely to happen, a re lien ed demand arises for gold to send abroad. Either the reserve fund will have to be still further depleted, or an issue of bonds will have to be made, which can be shinned in lieu ot cold, or for which n-old Will U iii 4 ,... " . ' be paid here at home. Cu.rency as a Commodity. The sale of bonds abroad may indeed stop the foreign gold demand, but those which are issued to meet the demand here for the redemption of legal tenders and bullion notes will fill to accomplish their purpose unlcs the paper morey taken in exchange for them is locked up oi destroyed. If it is paid out again as fast aB It is received, it will only have to be redeemed over again, ana the process will go on until, between the receipts fiom the sale of bonds and the regular income of the Government from customs and internal revenue, the surplus cuntney of the country remains in the Tieasury vaults as it did three years ago, and thus in a roundabout wa we shall ar ile at the ie-ult or t-ubstituting in the hinds of fie public interest-bearing bonds n place of non-interest-bearin currency. So much i said about the Junction of the cnriency as a measure of value and a me dium fo: tne exchange of commodities that we are prone to lorget its quality of being itself a commodity, and Its subjection to the laws of supply and demand, like other coram xllties. The abundant crop or cotton last car, ior instance, lesulted in such a lowering of its exchangeable value that three pounds or it will baldly bnyas much of other .ii tides as two pounds of It did a jearago The world's production of wheat, on the other hand, n as so much less last year than uual that our tortun&te farmers, who h id a good crop, have been able to procure with it considerably more of other com modities thau they did w ith that of the year before. So it is with every other produot of human lnduitij. An increased supply of corn, tobacco, sugar, coal, iron, copper, and even of gold and silver, diminishes their power of procuring other things by exchange, and a diminished supply of them increases it. This incicased and diminished exchangea ble value is measured by exchanges for money, or as we sa, by sales, but every sale loi money is to that extent a purchase of money, and every purchase or goods is a tale ot money- for the articles purchased. IJib Larjr Incr ase In Cntreney. An increase of the volume of currency in us, whether It be by extraordinary discov eries or gold, such as happened in 1819, or by tho printing of paper money, as we have been doing for tbe last SO yean, necessarily diminishes its exchangeable value In the same manner that a large crop of cotton diminishes that of cotton. The result is vislole in the rise of wages, or the price of laoor. the supply or which has not mcieasea so rapidly as the supply of currency, nnd It would how Itself also in a lise in the prices oi commodities had there not Decn an in crease likewise in their production due to the great Improvements in labor-saving ma chinery ofieoentjears. Still we have created so much currency that foreign countries are beginning to find it to their advantage to buy It with their goods and with the stocks and bonds we sold them in former years. Since, too, wo offer them cold at the same price as raper money, and since they can use gold and cannot "use our paper, they naturally take the gold and leave us the paper. If wo don't like this we must stop manufacturing paper money, and this is the conclusion to which I trust our legislators will fcpeedily come. The Democratic Convention at Chicago has demanded the repeal of the act of July 14, 1890, and the distinguished Republican Senator, Mr. Sherman, who is supposed to be its sponsor, now repudiates it. With this act repealed and free silver out of the way tho national currency would need no lurther tinkering. BELIEF F0S FLOOD SUFFEBERS. A Boat Loaded to tbe Gunwales Going to Help Iioulsiann People. Xew Orleans, Juno 26 iL A relief boat will start from New Orleans, next week, under a recent resolution of the Legislature, to deliver rations and pro visions to the people of the overflooded dis tricts. Appeals have been made to the State Government from the people of eight parishes under water from the crevasses or the backwater caused by them, for relief, as sistance and rations, and in all of them the condition of a large part of the population is reported as deplorable, indeed. The first application was made a month ago to Con gressman C. J. Bontner. of the Fifth dis trict, who, it was thought, might get an ap propriation from Congress for the relief ot the overflowed sufferers, but upon his reply that no assistance could be obtained in any way application was made to the State, and an 'appropriation voted by the Legislature. uovcrnor .cosier cauie lu icn uucaus yesterday, to make arrangements for a re lief 1 oat. It will go up the Mississippi, Eed, Black, Ouachita and Little rivers, and "Bayou Tensas distrubing rations, where ever thev are needed, and will have from 65,000 to 80,000 rations aboard, all of which have alreadv been purchased. "Wherever it is possible it is proposed to take the planta tion hands from the overflowed lands to higher places, as it is thought that this will be cheaper in the end than to leave them where they are and continue to supply them with rations until the water goes down, which may not be for weeks yet. THE CITY A SALOON ZEEPEB, A Town In a Prohibition State to Look Into a New Flan of Evasion, Sioux Fall, S. D., June 2a A scheme is on foot to make the city ot Sioux Tails a saloon keeper. After the meeting of the City Council last evening, "V. H. Lyon, United States Commissioner said: "I want to go into the saloon business, and want the city as a partner." When the first shock had passed he went into details of a plan whereby the city should absolutely control and run all the saloons. He claimed that his plan w as perfectly feasible and legal under the prohibition law. The number of dispensaries will be governed by the terri tory to be covered, after the style of post offices. Mr. Lyon-claimed the result to the city would be an income of 535,000 per year. So sure is he of the success of the plan, that he offers to put up the money necessary to try the experiment and turn the business over to the city control. The Mayor will appoint a committee to investigate. The matter is being widely and favorably discussed, aud the experi ment will probably be made. "With refer ence to the legality, Mr. Lyon said the State Constitution does not forbid the sale of liquor by "corporations." It is a ques tion whether the Supreme Court will hold that the statute covers municipal corpor ations. THE HAVAJ0ES AEE TJGLT. Travelers Whom They Guide Disappear and Whites Are Bawhldcd. DUEAXGO, COL., June 26. Mr. Snyder, the stage driver from Farmington, brings news of some excitement at Farmington concerning two strange men who left there about three weeks ago to cross Ihe Xavajo reservation, going to Ft. Wingate or some Southern point. They hired some Indians to guide them, and started out with their three ponies and about $180 in money. Three days ago the Indians returned and would give no account of the men. As it wonld have taken a much longer time to guide them to any point whence they could proceed alone, it aroused suspicion among the white people, and search is talked ot Another man crossing the reservation was seriously injured by the Indians whipping him with their rawhide whips. YANKEE POBK AIL EIGHT. A French Ctmmisslonir Ecturnn and Tells What He Saw. FAKIS, June 26. Commissioner Duclos has returned to this city from the United States, where he had been sent by the Minister of Husbandry to study the pork trade. M. Duclos has presented to the Minister a flattering report as to the com pleteness of the precautionary measures taken by the American Department of Agriculture to insure that no unwholesome meats be exported from the United States. M. Duclos states in his report that he considers that there is little ground for fear on the score of trichinosis. He dilates upon the excellent system for the inspec tion of slaughter houses, and expresses the opinion that more care or precision is hardly possible. KILLED BY A CLOUDBURST. Quite a Large dumber of Iowa Farmers Will Kequlre Assistance. Mason City, Ia., June 25. Complete returns from the cloudburst that laid waste many sections of Chickasaw county, are now in. At Fredericksburg two persons were killed and a dozen injured, some fatally. At Sumner, five persons were killed outright. The destruction to prop erty and growing crops in the path ot the storm will exceed $300,000. The homes of 28 farmers are completely destroyed, and as many more are partly wrecked. Many of the farmers are insured and the others have decided to ask for assist ance. Hot Weather and Hygiene. Hot! Well, yes, rather, too hot to eat any thing very solid in the middle of the day.

WILL CELEBRATE A WEDDING T0-DAT Adjutant and Mrs. larver, of the Sal vation Army, stationed at Chicago, whose wedding was celebrated there re cently, will be welcomed to Pittsburg with a grand reception and wedding banquet to morrow, tendered by the local army anT friends. The reception will be given in the Methodist Episcopal Church, at South Twenty-fourth street, near Carson, and will be conducted by Ensign Allen, of McKees port, assisted by Bev. J. A. Ballantyne, J. II. Buckingham and officers from the neighboring corps. The banquet is to be given the following day at theSalvation Army headquarters, on Canon, between Twenty-second and Twenty third streets, where Captain and Mrs. Nankivell will act as host and hostess. Tile progress made by the Salvation Army since the inception oi the idea by General Ballington Booth, of England's metropolis, 25 years ago, is remarkable. Work of tbe Salvation Army. Captain Nankivell, in speaking yesterday' of the work ot the Salvation Army, grew enthusiatio as he said: The simple, homely flas flutters in the breezes of nearly every clime. The red and blue jrarmentsof the nienaie worn in nearly every nation upon tbe European continent. The belief is so simple, the demands so few and the rewards n easily obtained that those who have hesitated for yems to enter religious bodies for various reasons plaoe their heart with the Salvation Ai my. There ate upward of 14 000 officers, each carinjt for a corps ranging in membership from half a score to more than a hundred. During its existence the organization has had nearly as much to withstand, barring (eath, as had the Cli.lstfans in their earlier days. They have been the brunt of jibes, jeers, taunts, and in many cases received cruel blows trom those who were adverse to their teachings, and yet, notwlthstandinz all these things, they simply tread over their ground ana say mat tnese people have not injured anything but tbelr feeling tigs, and that can soon be forgotten, for they do not un derstand. Brighter Days for the Workers. But the days are not as hard as they once were, for the people are processing faster, and as our domain spreads out and our work becomes better known, these persecutions cease, and soon, I apprehend, we will not be molested by anyone. In various smnll towns and also in cities we were abused by the rowdies and down-trodden by the of ficials But better days aie coming and soon we shall be where others are and shall be recognized. The charity woik or the Salvation Army in London, Paris, New York and other creat cities is of such good that it has attracted attention from promi nent persons, and now we are not only suf fered to remain, bnt are assisted in many ways. Among the poorer and more ignorant peo ple the progress we have made is something well worth viewing. We have prevented more crimes than the woild can evei con ceive. The work was started upon a re ligious basis, and, as we gradually draw away from the toils of sin those who are on the verge of ruin, the work is certainly com- monaaoie. In Allegheny legneny county the corns Is raauauy screngtnenmg ana we are cam- lenmcr ana we are ci in? converts In lance and small numbers.

She was able to walk un assisted to and from the carriage, and said afterward that she had enjoyed the ride very much. This is the first time she Has left the bouse since her return from Fortress Monroe several weeks ago. She is still very leeble, but is gradually gaining in strength.

Jesse Moh ler, a bright young lad living with his uncle, H. B. Fellows, at Canton, was en ticed away from home two months ago by a tramp known as "Blinkers" Kelly. The tramp's scheme was to put the boy's arm in a sling and compel him to beg from house to house. The tramp, to insure complete success, deliberately slammed a car door upon the boy's arm, seriously cutting it, and put some acid in the wound that caused it to fester and putrefy. The boy suffered excruciatingtorture, but afterward succeeded in escaping. He is in a pitiable condition, and will be a cripple lor life. "Blinkers" as iu juii anauiug iiiui.
