The Total Gold CircuIatien.

WAsHISeToN, May 15.-The Direc.
tor of the Mint estimates that the total
gold circulation Of the United States, in
cluding bullion in the Treasury, amount
ed at the beginning Of the current
month, to $3.50, 0,000, 900, of which about
$264, 900, 900 was held as Treasury and
national bank reserve, ,tand $2se, ,00O, 900
was In actual circulation. There has
been total gain OF good coin and bull
ion to the country since July /, 1879, Of
$685., ,0Co,0 900, Of which $35, 200, 600 was
added to the Treasury, ,$59, ,000, 900 to the
bank, and $140, ,0O0, 600 to the active cir
culation. The absorption Of $14e, ,000,-
900 Of gold coin In the actual circulation
of the country since July l, 1879, the
Director believes, Is owing, to Q consid-
cradle extent, to an increased coinage
since that time Of denominations less
than the double eagle. The coinage Of
the latter. during the fiscal year 1880
and up to April so last amounted To
only $82, ,000, 900, while SAT, 900, 900 was
struck in eagles and $40, 100000 in half
eagles, and during the same time $685.
600, ,00o OF these coins has been paid out
by the Treasury and been retained 10
circulation.

bl At Ia hard toplease our neighbors OF
the Republican. They will not be salts
faed with anything that the Demo
crsts do. They see that the Demo-
cratic party has given as an elegant
Court House, without raising our
taxes materially-that the Democratic
City Council has given US clear, cool,
healthful water; built an elegant new
building for city Offices, and decorated
the City hall yard until it is as IN
yiting as q flower garden |; prepared
the way for building q road to the
Delaware and cleaned up the streets
Of the city as they were never cleaned
before Notwithstanding they reduced
the taxes and yet the Republican is
bitter in Its complaints. The Demo-
cratic party has converted the State
bonds and thus saved one-third of the
interest on the State debt, and yet the
sroakers are not content. Well, the
people viii find out after while that
nothing win please these objectors so

the Offices by the use of negro votes,
and grow fat upon extravaganza and

From the Charleston Is. o. News.
There is no question, We fear that q
number OF Democratic Senators see IN
the present complications merely an
opportunity to make an advanta-
geOus trade. They are willing to help
the President II they are we'll paid for
1t. Only shade less shameful is sthe
idea that Democrats ishali turn their
back on the President when he is
clearly In the right, because his subse-
quent conduct may be disadvantageous

Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on SO completely for
the quality of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste,, at least, for us to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration Of the
fact. aaa
In the first place we make
clothing enough so that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that ; it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it. "a
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest Of everything?

Tm RULE On RuYN POLICY seems

Mr.. Conkling has imbibed an immense
deal of that sentiment. It exhibits it.
self On every occasion where he is re-
quired to take position. His Quarrels
have been frequent with his fellow
members, without regard to political
divisions. His hostility to Blaine and
Sherman have been bruted about in
all the newspapers and his quarrels
with Hayes and his Cabinet are no.
t0rious. It is therefore little wonder
when he Ands himself at loggerheads

PET OBJECTS.


The Rock Island committee of the Hen
nepin and Rock Island canal project, con-
sisting of B. D. Buford, Ben Harper, W.
Fl. Barber, NJ G Mills, w. L. Sweeney,
A. c. Dart, F. Weyerhauser and T. j. Rob
inson held meeting last Thursday in the
Indies parlor of the Harper House
The object OF the meeting was stated by
the chairman of the committee to be the
raising of $500, Rock Islands share in the
expenses of printing and distributing the
memorial to Congress. 1t was suggested
that it might be advisable for Rock Island
TO get cut separate memorial, dealing
more with the importance of the proposed
canal, and less with natural water courses.
1t was finally decided to act in conjunction
with Moline and Davenport and the mem
bers of the committee were authorized to
solicit by private subscriptions the amount
due from this city.
The members also agreed to attempt rails
ing similar amount to defray the expenses
of a delegate to visit Washington in the in
terests of bill for government building
in Rock Island.
