bined have nearly 100000 population. The cor
porate limits of the two cities Join. but from the
actual business heart of one town 20 the same To-
cality in the other il is about nine miles IL Is
now pretty well known that this Joint population
of 100000 is an increase from about s5O0O four
years ago. As both cities are now growing more
rapidly than at any one time in their history and
as this marvellous development gives no sign OF
weakness, IL Is evident 10 every careful student
of the situation that in five years more the popu-
lation of the Twin Cities Will be at least s09 600
Cincinnati and Boston, with less populations than
seems certain TO be assured to IT. Paul and Min
neapolis in the near future, have extended their
suburbs until now distance Of ten or fifteen
miles is considered near to business in Boston
and equal distance is quick communica ton -

worth from ten 70 twenty-five times what il can
now be bought for in the exact midway district

The PreIler Case.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 29.-The re-
port that Preller, the supposed victim in
the st. Louis hotel murder case. had been
seen in this city and written letter from here
to Maxwell, the alleged murderer. created
a sensation this morning. While little re-
lance Is placed in the story the police and
the reporters of local papers are much ex-
ercised and are pushing the investigation in
all parts of the city in an effort to trace the
author of the letter. AS yet no clue has
been found

had offered him $4,000, 600 francs for the
obstruction of the projected canal through

The following specimen of the nonsense
talked by snti-silver men is from the Bos.
ton Journal: "Suppose that there should
be such q demand upon u gold that il
would command q premium of one.half OF
one per cent. 1t would no longer be
money, but would be dealt in as merchan.
disc. Then our silver would be the only
money of the country, and more than two
thirds of our present money stock would
become merchandise. and the volume Of
money would be contracted to one.third
the present amount"
The absurdity Of this proposition, says
the New York Sun, becomes apparent 81
soon as it is considered that gold forms
but a very small part of the actual circu.
lating medium in the country. The
money in use consists Of $346 600, 900 o.
legal tenders. $500, 900, 900 Of n~ationa
bank notes, sos, 900 of silver certificates
and $40. ZOO. 900 of legal tender silver
There is besides an indefinite amount o.
fractional coin. making 9 total Of not lesi
than $500, 000, 900. The demonstration Of
gold and its withdrawal from circulation
would have no effect upon this mass Of
money. and consequently could not posi-
bly, cause a contraction. Besides gold viii
not command a premium until an amour
of silver equal to 1t is ready to take it
place, which, at the present rate OF coin
age, will not be for ten years to come.

It is a mistaken idea that the entire
East is arrayed against us on the silver
question. Fact is, we have a number Of
good friends there, and among them is
the Chicago Sun, from which journal we
clip the following: "Isn't there rather
more Of perversity than of reason in the
clamor raised in some quarters about the
scarcity Of small bills? That paper rep
resentatives OF value in small denomina.
tions are useful for transmission by mail

piled by the Postofice Department are

their lightness. The gold half.eagles are
not heavy enough to be ~burdensome in
any reasonable amount, while the paper
tens and twenties are abundant for use
where large sums are to be carried. The
silver dollars are of course q trifie clumsy,
but in amounts Of five or ten dollars the
feeblest person need not stagger under
the weight. They are cleaner than the
small notes, practically indestructible,
and their size and weight are at least a
guard against loss. The Government
has millions Of them ON hand, and as far
as they can be put in circulation without
serious inconvenience to the public, it
should be done. Once let them get into
