Tite good people of Georgia have sent twenty-two car loads of provi sions to the drouth-sufferers of west ern Nebraska, and Alabama and Louis iana are duplicating the generous gift. Such generosity must not be forgotten, and it will not be among people who have hearts that can appreciate genu inely humane sentiments. Judok Kicks was let off with a re proof of the custom which enabled him to make way with the several thousand dollars of money that belonged to Uncle Sam. The usefulness of such a man on the bench may be eeriously juestioned. If he were a man of high spirit and a proper fienso of honor he would have resigned long since. Tite Nicaraugua canal bill passed the senate yesterday by a vote of 31 to 21 , and now goes to the house. Nearly all the republicans voted or were paired for the bill and most of the democrats opposed it. It provides for a capital atock of $100,000,000, and that the gov ernment Bhall guarantee the payment of $70,000,000 In bonds. In cane of de fault of payment of interest or principal of its debt, the government can fore close and take or sell the canal. Ten of the fifteen dirtctors are to be ap pointed by the president. that lecau9e In a few mines a compar atively small quantity of nilver can be turned out atseventy cents an ounce, therefore that fixes the cost of the en tire product of the mines, and, there fore, to adopt free coinage at the rate of 10 to 1 would bo an absolute gift to all the miners of JV cents an ounce. It is usele8 to argue with a man who is bo willfully stupid as this. There is no doubt but a few mine own ers, who have bonanza mines would grow rich very fast for a short time, till their mines were exhausted, but with the great m-ijority of mine own ers it would be different. Their profits would not be great- but they would doubtless become prosperous, and give many men employment, and would thereby contribute to the gen eral wellfare, which ihrough them would soon spread all over the land. The Hee, however, labors under the error which afflicts all gold standard writers in that he assumes that all val ues rightfully are based upon the pres ent price of gold -forgetful that much of that value has grown out of the scarcity of g 'Id, made o by its having been made the only metallic standard of the present time, and that if bimet allism were adopted at any reasonable ratio much of that value now attained by gold would soon vanish.

We have tried the credit business for nearly fifteen years and have profitted but little thereby, the most of our earnings being on our books or lost by uncollected accounts.
