The Wau q ScMllion Displayed HIS Ears

To the Editor of the Globe
ST. PAUL, Dec. g. Allow me as a
musician to protest against the very ungen-
erous and abusive notice of the Marie Roze
concert which appeared in the columns of
your contemporary, the Press, this morning
to call it criticism would be misnomer
the efnsion certainly exhibited as much
malevolent prejudice as could be we'll con-
fined in the space afforded the writer of it.
am induced to ask you to take sides in
this matter by number of persons who
were present Saturday evening, and who ex-
pressed qualification on finding your criti-
cism of the concert fair and unbiased.
1t IS certainly anything but encouraging
to artists of celebrity (who have gained their
laurels in the chef cities of Europe and the
United States) to receive such treatment as
that afforded by the musical (?) editor of
| the Press. At any rate, I can vouch for
one thing, which is, that the entire musical
community of st. Paul endorse your opin-
| ions in reference to the ability of the artists
who appeared Saturday night, and regard
the attack of the Press as scurrilous and
contemplate.
Trusting you will pardon this encroach-
ment on your space, am yours, etc.,

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT GOLD.

The bulk of gold in the world steadily
increases, though the amounts. trough
ly approximated. Ten years ago it was
estimated at about $5,95o,ooo, 900 in
value, 1t must be greatly larger now,
though we have no fixed data for ap.
proximating the amount. But it may be
of interest to see what the bulk of the
smaller sum ten year ago would be if it
were all melted and run together, Pure
gold is more than nineteen times as
heavy as water, and cubic foot of wa,
ter weighs a thousand ounces avoirduN
pois. A cubic foot Of gold weighs, then,
over nineteen thousand ounces avoirdu-
pois, and every such ounce Of fine gold
is worth according to our coinage)
somewhat more than eighteen dollars,
so that the whole cubic foot of gold
would be worth a little more than a third
of a million dollars. A cubic yard of
solid gold would he worth twenty seven
times as much as that, or over nine mil
lion dollars; and 600 cubic yards would
contain somewhatmore than the $3.50,
600 900 of goldin the world ten years ago
These $50 cubic yards would be contain,
ed within a room about fifteen feet high
twenty four feet wide, and forty eight
feet long say, good sized parlor or
store of moderate size. But, says some
one, "gold is so maIleable that even this
small bulk of it would gild over the
whole earth. But he either over estima-
ted the malleability of gold, or, more
likely, underestimate the size of the
earth. 1t takes I,28o,ooo leaves of the
thinnest gold foil to make an inch thick.

A cubic yard of gold, then, could be
beaten out so as 10 cover 10000 900
square yards, somewhat less than 10000
acres, for there are a, $40 square yards to
the acre. Then, as there are GAO acres
to the square mile, the whole 600 cubic
yards OF gold could be beaten out so as
to cover about 10000 square miles that

the extent of Vermont, and a little more
than fifth Of either New York or Penn.

SENATOR LAMAR.

The recent speech delivered in the
Senate by Hon. L. O. c. Lamar on the
proposed new Pacific Railway was one
OF the abest yet made in Congress upon
this important question. 1t embraced a
very thorough discussion of the various
schemes before Congress to complete a
Pacific Railway on the Southern line.
He favored the Texas and Pacific meas
ure as the best presented to complete the
symmetry Of the transContinental system
contemplated by the statesmen of all
parties quarter Of century ago, and
provided by the government in various
enactments. He also advocated the Tex.
as and Pacific bill as due in equity to the
South and as securing to the commerce
Of the continent the advantages of COM
petition with the existing lines. All
these ends, the Senator claims, are as.
sured by the passage of a measure which
is demonstrated to involve no risk of
loss to the government in its limited loan
Of credit. Abundant quotations from
Hunter, Davis and other authorities of
the Strict Constitution school of polti-
clans supplement an able argument to
show the power of Congress to extend
the asked for aid under the authority of
the Constitution, The Washington cor
respondents say that various New Eng
land Senators listened with marked in>
terest to the Mississippi Senator. This
fact made all the more timely his earn
est appeal to that section. In substance
he said {" New England is now the rep
resentative and, in an important sense,
the custodian of that vital principle of
the Constituton-State equality. Out
of all proportion to your numerical
strength, you have not only negative,
but an affirmative power in this body by
virtue Of that principle. The South is
Jealous of your power; on the contrary,
she regards your title to it, by virtue of
the principle of State equality, as sacred.
Once successfully dispute that title, the
Constitution itself falls helpless ruin.
Your power enhances your responsible.
ity. You can not, while enjoying it, af,
ford to deny equity and generosity to
others. The events of twenty years
show that as against the organized pop
ular will of the country, the essence, not
less than the symbols of constitutional
privilege, is annihilated. 1t is the con-
stitution of the whole country that makes
New England's privilege sacred, dispite
her comparative numerical weakness.
Therefore let Senators make the whole
country their constituency, and by JUS
tice and generosity to all sections make
all sections the allies of New England |
in defending her high constitutional
privilege"
With his fervent pleas for the South, |
Mr.. Lamar blended appeals for a policy |
in administering the government which |
will promote the integrity of the Union
and the diffusion of prosperity among
all sections and localities. 1t is no un-
meaning compliment to say hat this
speech will rank among the Ig.' intel
lectual trophies of the foremost Ameri- |
cans of his time. .-BaltimOre Gazette.

press its Resumption Bill, but will yield
to the greenback majority Of the senate
without single objection from the Com
mittee or from the Secretary of the
Treasury. and with the assurance that
he bill will not be vetoed by the Presi-
dent, to pass the House bill to prevent
the further retirement Of greenbacks,
and this concession practically makes
that bill a law as soon as it can come be-
fore the Senate for consideration.
Fourth-That this shall end financial
legislation for this year, so far as it al
fects our bonded debt, resumption, or
materially affects the currency in vol
ume by any means other than to pres
vent its contraction, and perhaps pre-
vent legislation regarding silver certih-
Gates.
This is not binding agreement, aus
thorized understanding or bargain. 1t
is the deyRfey resort of mutual conces~
sion, and is so strongly made necessir
ty to the anti resumptionists by reason OF
the latenesss of the season in Congress,
that it means an almost positive predlc-
ton of almost certain results. The ans
ti>resumptionists in the Senate fear that,
to adopt the Matthews amendment
would jeopardize the chances of the bill
in the House in the last hours of the
session, and will probably agree to the
House bill without amendment, as it
came unanimously from the Senate FL
nance Committee. The President and
Secretary of the Treasury are opposed
to any legislation on the resumption
question, being convinced by present
events that they have law enough now,
but will agree to stop the further con-
traction oflegal tenders, while opposing
any increase.
