While the confusion caused by the multitude of sugges tions at the beginning of the sesion has "been dared away to a great ex tent, it has not yet been possible to satisfy all the men most influential in shaping currency legislation in Congress or all the financal interests outside with any single measure that has been brought forward thus far. It has been assumed in many Quarters that Senator Aldrich's bill would be the one to be passed. While the presumption is naturally in favor of this measure on account of Mr. Aldrich's influence as chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance,-a great deal of opposition to his bill has developed, both on the part of members of the House Committee on banking and currency and among prominent bankers in the east and west alike. Former Comptroller of the Currency, A. Barton Hepburn, president of the Chase National Bank of New York, who is generally rec ognized as a spokesman of the con servative banking interests of the country, has protested publicly and vigorously against any provision for bond secured currency. . Many financial experts, especially those who have studied the currency systems of France, England and Ger many, are in favor of a central bank. There seems to be a general feeling, however, that a prejudice exists against such a measure, although little evidence of any such feeling has been displayed here. The fear Of arousing this prejudice makes many Congressmen shy of endorsing any proposal for a central bank of issue. '. A third suggestion is put forward by Alexander Gilbert, president of the New York Clearing-House Asso ciation, which was instrumental in preventing the October panic from reaching disatrous proportions. His plan, which is proposed briefly in the course of an article in the February number of Appleton's Magazine, is the provsion of an emergency cur rency by simply developing and rec ognizing officially the clearing-house certificate plan used with such good effect in the recent trouble. He points out that the amount of such certificates issued in New York was $97,000,000, or less than 10 per cent of the total deposits. This amount is less proportonately than was issued during 1893. A large part of these certificates have been cancelled al ready and all are likely to be retired within a short time. This amount was in excess of actual requirements, as the full amount issued was not in use even at the height of the panic and retirements began almost as soon as the issue was made. "A careful computation," says Mr. Gilbert, "shows that $74,000,000 would have sufficed to do the required work. With this amount of certifi cates, restricted in their use to clearing-house purposes, exchanges to the amount of $2,300,000,000 daily have been settled quietly and effec tively. Here we have the best object IT IS NATURES DANGER SIG NAL THIS SIMPLE PRES CRIPTION OFTEN PREVENTS SERIOUS KIDNEY DISEASE. lesson of an emergency currency thatinrjriir IP U P A 1 can possibly be given a currency J Urlvlla Vlllj lj If La 11 that is as absolutely secure as any thing human can be. that can be quickly issued and quickly retired, that requires no complicated bank machinery to put it into circulation, that will never be issued until it is imperatively required, that can never result in nflaton, and that wll always be under the control of the most ex perienced bankers. Furthermore, it may be added that this is a system which is purely American. "AH that is needed to adapt such a system to our requirements is de velopment, and I feel confident that if the subject could be referred to the clearinsr-house committees of the three central reserve cities, an a emergency currency plan coum De evolved that would be in harmony with our national banking system and be less subject to- criticism and opposition than any other system which has yet been proposed.' In case the opposition to the Aid- rich measure becomes formidable, it is likely that the plan outlined in the Appleton article wll be adopted at least as a temporary provision assur ing safety from such demoralization as was threatened last October. l's. maabilLey xporth 4a HEIRS GEORGE WASHINGTON. CHICAGO, Jan. 24. A dispatch tp the Record-Herald from Weather ford, Tex., says: The Brazelton family of this city, heirs of George Washington, first President of the United States, will soon receive part of an estate of 40,- 000 acres, valued at $1,000,000, in the Clermont district, Ohio, according to message received yesterday from Washington, D. C. There are three Brazelton brothers here, J. W. Bra zelton, a banker; B. F. Brazelton, a physician, and R. I Brazelton, a farmer. Georgia relatives will also receive a share in the estate. Wash ington, having no children, left the Ohio estate to his nephew, Gen. Na thaniel Greene, and his niece, Han nah Greene. Jacob Brazelton, grand father of the Texas heirs, married Hannah Greene.

The slightest form of kidney derangement often develops into Bright's kidney disease, diabetes or dropsy. When cither of these dis eases are suspected the sufferer should at once seek the best medical atten tion possible. Consult only a good, first-class physician, leave patent medicines alone. There are many of the lesser symp toms of kidney trouble which can be treated at home, is stated by a well- known authority. For some of these, such as backache, pain in the region of the kidneys, weak bladder, fre quency (especially at night), painful scalding and other urinary troubles, try the following simple home rem edy: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. These simple ingredi ents are harmless and can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy and any one can mix them by shak ing well i. a bottle. The dese for adults is a teaspoonful after each meal and again at bedtime. There Is no better general remedy known to relieve all forms of rheuma tism either, because it acts directly upon the kidneys and blood. It cleans the clogged-up pores in the kidneys so they can filter and strain from the blood the poisonous uric acid and waste matter which, if not eliminated, remain in the blood, decompose and settle about the joints and muscular tissues, causing the untold suffering and deformity of rheumatism. - Backache is nature's signal, notify ing the sufferer that the kidneys are not acting properly. "Take care of your kidneys," is now the physician's advice to his patients. CERTIFICATES ARE RETIRED. fi NEW YORK, Jan. 24,-Whcn bus. iness closed yesterday all but $11,200,. 000 of the $97,000,000 in clearing house certificates isucd by the Clear-ing-House Association during the re cent financial flurry had been retired. Since Monday $7,SOO,000 of the certi ficates have been taken tin, nearly $-000.0X) a day. J is believed that practically the whole of the amount outstanding will be wiped out by the end of the week and that early next week the clearing-house will again be on a strictly cash basis. The fact that money is now flowing into the banks in large quantities is emphn-j sized by the fact that the retirement i of the certificates was simultaneous with the return of $10,000,000 of the emergency deposit made by the Gov- eminent during the heiuht of the flurry. The highest rate for call money yesterday was 2 1-2 per cent. most of the loans being made at 2 per cent, and some of them at 1 1-2. Don't Take the Risk.
