Jc'.in Cramer of the subtrcasury at Philadelphia today brought to the secret service flvo $100 counterfeit silver certificates , hoaiJ of President Monroe. "Tho general avi.icarance Is excellent and after clrso examination the officials of the treas ury cash room were undecided as to their genuineness , and only after the notes had beiii Leaked In hot water , when the two pieces forming the front and back of the note came aurt : , were they convinced of the ff.uul. On examination of the day's Ireury cash another of the spurious notes was discovered. The note ! brought over by Mr. Clamor had been turned Into the sub- treas'iry by two leading banks and the Phil adelphia custom house , which iwl received them a.i genuine. Agents of the secret serv ice everywhere have been wired a de scription of the notes with Instructions to be on the lookout for persons attempting to rasa them. Tolegrama have also been sent to all the leading tanks to bo on the lookout for per se us iittemptlng to pass them. Inquiries have also been , ent to all the leading cities as to whef.ier any of the notes have ap- lioarod other llian In Philadelphia and Wash ington and the best men In the service will be put. en the CUEC.

( CHICAGO , Jan. 3. The Hon. James H. Eckels , ex-comptroller of the currency , de livered an address at the convocation exer cises of the Chicago university , held at the Auditorium this evening. Ills subject was "Public Leadership , " and a largo audience arptaudod his sentiments. Ho said In part : During the slavery agitation nnd the yenrs of the civil wnr Individual Independence wiis undesirable. I believe It was equally undo- alrnblo In that earlier psrloil when the country wns pausingthroiish Its years of experiment In establfiihlng upon n safe foun- daton a constltutloniil republic. Those dele. gulc ! ) with authority , without abuse of It , secured to the citizen his fullest rights , nnd If at times nrrognnt and keenly partisan , nt the basis of every act waa nn unselllsh patriotism nnd n disinterested devotion to duty. Today , however , the country Hilda Itself confronted by a situation where Individual Independence of action not only will not Jeopardize the nn lion's Interests , but must be Invoked to rid 'It of threatened ' /Misers. I do not underestimate the patriotism of those who control party organizations and 1111 places of legislative and administrative trust , but there must bo something radically wrong In existing public morals and public service , when questions of great national Importance are treated from the point of view of mere local desires. Instead of on the broader ground of a whole country's Interests. It cannot but suggest more than Oi serious doubt as to the futtira Klory of th- > country , when It Is noted the tcridoncy upon the jvirt of public servants to com press the interests of all the people within the narrow confines of ti congressional dis trict , and measure the wisdom of tnklng courageous action by the possibilities of nn election. election.WHY WHY LBAnEHS AUK SCAIIC13. The moat friendly of our foreign critics has declared that we have no great public leaders. If such be the case tha reason for it Is not dllllcult of ascertainment. The strength of polltle-al party organization has In recent years been built up at the expense of party principles and public good. Its machinery hna reached from city to state' , and from Plate to nation. Hy force of Its demands there 'have been allenlunted from party ranks many of thosevlio believe that political bodli-s should be maintained In order to contribute substantial benefit to the government , whether It be national , state or municipal , and not In a doctrine the reverse In praetlco. There was a time In the nnnals of our political history when the chief executive of the nation could at the same tlmo be both the leader of his party and of. the public. Hut that day Is passed. There must con tinue to be an Irrepressible conlllct between the good of the public .service and modern party organization as long as the latter makes abject party obcdlencp the absolute test of public preferment and political hon ors and the only guaranty of accepted ser vice. ' Out of nil -disturbing and destroying force of party organization there has still como In the larpost measure much of Ines timable value to the public. It has aroused the business , man to political action , called to duty the scholar , nhtl created to a greater or ICES degree Independence even In a par tisan press. I am confident that the public leadership which Is now tje ) niost forceful thins for good In municipal , s tiite * nnd national af fairs rests with thorfo elements In one so cial and political system. It is leadership divided on many lsties and holding to dif fering view. on mitny eiuestions , but united In a common purpose1 to nnselllshly promote the c.iuso of io(7d ( government. Its virility la In the very individuality which Is donlod to tho-e who denounce political independence as pometlilntf to be abhorred and courage of conviction ns apalnsj party decree an un pardonable sin. Its good olflc'eViiavo more than once , dur ing the ipast two' decide : , be'en enlisted in behalf of reforms which have gained for the public at largo beneficial results and added to the comfort of the Individual. Its protest is against lowering the standard of American national and commercial Integ rity ; its demand that the country shall have a financial system rational In construction and adequate to properly meet the changing needs of trade and commerce. It rightfully liihif.ts that those who have the power and the opportunity to act shall not tnko coun sel of political expediency or endanger the financial fabric of the nation through un necessary delay. NEED OK IIKROIC TREATMENT. The thoughtful citizen everywhere must deprecate a political condition which de mands a leadership outside the lines of a responsible party organization. The fact itrelf bespeaks the need of awakening a dormant public conscience and culling to action a heedless electorate. It comes only when grout Issues tire at staUo nnd great Interests are Involved.

However weak the Independent leader maybe bo at the caucus , he can boast of a power nt the polls which each year grows more potent and with each election gathers to his ciuse > added force. lie will remain a controllng factor In American politics until political organizations are careful of the rlght.n of all and guard without reference to private fortune. * the greater Interests of the public. lie will disappear when in party ranks are leaders who are courageous and far-seeing1 enough to deal with national eiuestlons In a national way , free from local environments and unmoved by local threats. Ills leadership and his following came be cause of the arrogance and unfaithfulness of the dominating forces of a party ma chinery bullded upon surrendered personal ity and avowed loyalty to a self-consti tuted leader ami held together by a judi cious bestowal of public patronage , It can not cease until this menace to iho country is removed and Instead Is given party or ganization which , while faithful to party crcc.ils anil party needs , still heeds tiio hiiiher duty claimed of It. The greatness of the nation must always rest In the keening of a leadership strong in Its sense of right , patriotic. In Its devotion to duty nnd unwavering In Its fidelity to the whole people.

M. 1'archeti and Henry Klein have re turned from a trip to Cascade county , says the Helena. Mont. , Independent. Everything went well on the trip out , but returning they encountered a heavy thunderstorm wli i a fall of rain , and In a few minutes the oad was made almost Impassible. The soil Is thick lay , of the order known in some ocalltlea an gumbo , and whcn a little- water -omcs in contact with It a substance not un- Ilko glue Is the result. The wheels soon iccame so weighted with the stuff that travel in the wagon was Impossible , and It was re solved to take chrnces afcot. There Is a peculiarity about gumbo that It sticks like ly paper to everything t'.iat ono doesn't want t to remain attached to , and It somehow won't slick to the ground long enough to step out of it. The members of the party first tried tfn- toolng along. Gradually the sticky sub stance accumulated under tbo balls of their eet until they were lifted far fiom the sur face of the ground , acid still It accumulated more and more. Gumbo Is not as light a < ; Bomo other substances , either. Each foot bat a pedestrian ralse.i from the ground ndds feveral pounds to his burden of wcu.

Hut one omnot kick ; umbo from his shoe-H , The stuff has been : nov > n to resist the cfforto of the pick. .Mr. 'archan had not calculated on that. When 10 kicked the momentum of the heavy weight larrled him forward on that foot and to save ilmaolf and recover his balance ho wna orced to thrust his other foot forward with lonslderablo vehemence. That ifoot , too , was icavlly laden with the same sprt of mud nd the momentum of It had a similar effect. \s each foot became heavlor by the accuinu- atcd weight of gumbo each other foot > bo- oiiio heavier , too , so that the Increasing irako upon the pedestrian's epeed was coin- iciiEuteci for by the Increasing momentum tirnlrtheil. The accumulation had grown to larmlng figure * , If expressed In pounds , end Ir. I'arthcn encountered an up-gmtlo and was saved.
