TRE QUESTION OF “CHANGE” FOR THE PEOPLE. Several members of Congress have within the past month or six weeks been asking in- formation at the Treasury department in re- gard to the fractional currency formerly in use, as compared with the fractional silver, which has taken Its place. This information {s asked With a view to awakening an effort to secure legislation authorizing the reissue of the old factional or postal currency. ‘There has been of Jate a somewhat general demand over the country for fractional notes. The penelbal rea- son urged in behalf of a reissue Is that the notes were Uapsmitted tbrough the mails without difficuity. Suver is not;’and postage stamps do not make an acceptable substitute for the fractional currency in that par- Ucular, The paper currency was much i than the coin is This 1s shown he 1 ry accounts.

There cannot be beth fractional currency and fractional silver. ‘The former would drive the latter out of cireu- lation. As the stlyer men do not brook any interference with their favorite medium of cir- culation, they may be safely put down as in aims against a reissue of fractional currency. District Government Affairs. IMPROVED CONDITION GF DISTRICT FINANCES. A comparative Statement of the receipts of District revenues between the fiscal year end- ing June 30, Issv, and of that ending June 39, 1 shows a very gratifying result. For the year ending June 20, 18su, the recelpis_are grouped as follows: From claim against J. S. Nson, $946.92; from schoo) fund interest, $2,244.01; from Washington market, 39,575; Georgetown market, $1,243.96; Eastern market, $5,280.20; Western market, $4,489.20; Northern Market, $5,765.56; attorney for the District (col- lections of fines and penalties), $1,246.38, bills receivable (Metropolitan police fun rents, hay scales, &c.. $2, Roe sundries, .25; building permits, i (C. 8. fund), $5,009.93; same (D.

This 1s very oe ifying to the Co) loners, Showing as it ices, an improved state of the revenues, and a more willing disposition on the part of property owners to pay their tax dues to the District. The collections for July ultimo are reported at $77,160.92, an unusually good showing for the month that has always beeo ded as the ull one of the year. The delinquent per- sonal taxes are coming in every day. Yester- Gay the collections were $3,061.12. One old resident tax-payer settled up his delinquencies: for four years, amounting to about £600.

Thus far there have but 1,522 licenses issued for dogs, against 4,283 last Jear and 5,251 the year previous. It would, liicrefore, seem that there are not now somany of these animals kept as formerly, or else the owners of them are taking chances on their gelling caught up. THE GEORGIA MOONSHINERS QUisT.—Reports received by the internal revenue bureau show that everything {s quiet in the moonshine dis- tricts of ere ‘The four counties where there is the most illicit distilling—Rabun, Townes, Union and Fannin—are constantty patrolled by a force of internal revenue officers, who are doing good Work.

Herald to-day, Crooked Census Returns, Superintendent Adams, of the census bureau, bas had many letters from residents of this city complaining that they have not been enumerated, but upon investigation it had turncd out that the writers were in error. In one case, however, the persons who complained were right. ‘This was in the district that em- braces Christopher street. ‘The letters that Mr. Adams received from residents of that street were evidently genuine, but the signatures did not tally With the names that appeared on the returns that had been sent in by the census enumerator, and upon sending trict to fathom the mystery Mr. Adams ascer- tained that Costa had not gone from house to house making the inquiries the law required bimto make.
