that Senator Colquitt's opinion with regard

The Religion of the Dunkerds,

We publish this morning in another
column an article from gentleman who
resides at Waycross, in this state, and who
Is member Of the religious sect known as
the Dunkards. He takes some exceptions
to an editorial article which appeared in
the MORNING NEWS on Sunday. He
thinks the article unjust to the Dunkards In
some particulars. The statement to which
he seems to object most strongly is that the
Dunkard religion is a solemn thing, that it
tends to make long faces, and that those
who profess it are likely to appear old
before old age has left its distinguishing
marks upon them.
This statement may be hardly fair to the
Dunkards. 1t was based upon the under
standing that they did not approve of some
of the amusements which are the most
popular the world over, and that they OBJ
jected to many of those adornments of
dress in which the young find SO much
pleasure.
There are very few Dunkards in this part
OF the south, but, as the MORNING NEWS
iRtlmated, they are very desirable citizens.
because they live up to the golden rule
Indeed, the article in the MORNING NEWS
was rather commendatory than otherwise.
There is no doubt that the Dunkards are
a thrifty people, and that their homes are
models of neatness and comfort. They add
TO the wealth of every community in which
they are found. Their standard of morals
is high, and their appreciation of educa-
tional advantages is SO marked as to attract
general attention. Peaceable and peace
loving, charitable and industrious. thew
are people who are warmly welcomed as
citizens everywhere.
Whether or not their religion has a ten
dency to give the mind gloomy tinge, is a
question that may be left with them to
decide, since they are the ones who are the
most deeply interested. The writer of the
communication which we publish this
morning says it does not To those outside
of the Dunkard denomination it DOESN'T
make much difference whether it does or
not, because it isn't matter in which thu
public generally is profoundly interested.

SILVER CIRCULd ALTON.

a statement just prepared by the
United States treasurer shows that the
total amount of silver dollars coined
under the present law has been n frac-
tion over three hundred and forty-two
million dollars. of which amount less
than sixty millions are in circulation.
OF the balance over two hundred and
seventy-seven million dollars is repre-
sented by silver certificates in circula-
tion, lc uving IN the treasury not repro
sented by certificates only about five and
a half million dollars. 1t thus appears
that the country is using practically the
entire amount of silve.' coined during
the past ten years, in the form of paper
representing the coin, and this without
the slightest disturbance to the none
tary system. These certificates are
available in every branch Of our domes-
tic business and trade. and, although
they represent only silver, are no
where questioned in this couu-
try. These facts regarding the
silver circulation are certainly
complete answer to the
arguments of those who before the coin
age law was passed, and since, have
persisted in asserting that the addition
it provided for to the supply of silver
money was certain to have disastrous
results.
The experience of the last ten years
with silver is the ground upon which
the friends OF that part of our money
circulation base their opinion that an
increase of the coinage, or of
certificates representing silver bull
lion in the treasury, would
not only have no future ill-elfects, but is
necessary to meet the growing demands
OF the country and to take the place of
the retiring bank circulation, and it
cannot be questioned that they have a
strong position.
The facts regarding the silver situa-
tion in this country are believed to have
in part influenced the advance in the
price OF silver in Europe, together
with the belief that some new
policy may find favor with con-
gress in response to the demands
of the silver men. There can be no
doubt that the discussion OF the silver
question in this country is being re-
garded in Europe with the very great
est interest, and il it should appear
that the apparent tendency here toward
a more liberal policy regarding silver
has influenced the advance abroad, it
would be valuable fact in support Of
the view that an initiatory step on our
part is all that is necessary to re-estab-
lish the bi-metallic standard through
out the world.

"BLOODY" BALFOUR.
The Man Who is SO Detested BY Irish
Nationalists.

Between l and 2 p. M, says North
Berwick letter to the London World
you will generally come upon n golting
party, differing from others in the fact
that in its midsG walks u man VINO,
under all this fierce sun, is always bare
headed. He wears u dark-gray knick-
erbocker suit and light CATERS; and in
his height. in his slimness, by reason
of the pince-nez he wears and the
earth-swallowing strides which he
takes, he reminds you at once OF Henry
Irving. When his friends call AR
thur" he responds quickly, and he gives
himself up TO the game as though he
had no other interest in life; and yet
this is he upon whose utterances and
upon whose deeds, more than of any
other British statesman, the attention
OF the world is riveted. This is he who
is "boo-ed" for-he who is 50 specially
rclcgated to hades. This is the
Rt. Hon. Arthur James Bal
four, who was born in these
parts, who sits for n division
OF Manchester, who is chief secretary
for Ireland, and who, as you see him. is
whacking away at the golf-balls as
though they were the heads of some
of those who, under Mr.. Parnell's aus
pices, represent home rule in the British
parliament. Had / any doubt of Mr..
Balfours identity my IDEAS would be
confirmed by the presence of two gem
tlemen in cheap tourist suits who are
always to be found within easy reach
when he is playing on the links: they
are lettering along the sadly hillocks
which fringe the golting-ground, or one
of them will descend on to the yellow
sands and scrawl thereon fantastic fig

deception OF the voter and the only ra-
tional objection to pasted slips would be
that the voter might not detect them.
a pasted slip printed on tinted paper
would hardly be pronounced illegal by
any court. In other words no voter
could possibly be deceived by co'ored
paster upon a ticket printed on white
paper.
Attorney-General Leese declared YER
bally within the past three days that
pastors printed on tinted paper would
not be construed as coming within the
meaning OF the law that prohibits the
fraudulent printing OF names upon a
ticket. tE
The bugbear about printed slips has
been raised mainly in the interest Of
unpopular candidates. The scratching
OF tickets with pen or pencil, especially
in cities, is attended with good deal
Of delay and annoyance. With fifteen
to twenty names on each ticket, 1t be-
comes almost necessity to use prin ted
slips. Intelligent voters will discrimin-
ate in local elections in spite OF the APP
peals of party hacks for the straight,
unscratched ticket, and there is no rea-
son why they should be deprived OF the
right to avail themselves OF conven-
lent means of fixing their tickets as
they may consclentiously deem to be in
the interest of good government.

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.
A Statistician Places the Number at
Twelve Hundred Million.

There are statistieians in several coun-
tries, the best known of whom Is the
learned German, Herr Schem, who have
endeavored to present, from time to
time, statistics of the population of the
entire world. Inasmuch as many popu-
lous countries have no census, and often
nothing like n census, these world stat
isticians can only put together, as to
these countries, the best attainable
guesses.
Nevertheless they probably make II
tolerably near estimate OF the popula-
ton of the entire world, which they
put at 200, 100000. The number OF
men is supposed to be some What smaller
than the number OF women.
The number of deaths in the entire
world, each year, is placed mt about
80 .25O, 900, which would make nearly
100000 day, 1900 an hour aud "
minute.
On the other band, there are, it is es-
timated, 80, 10000 persons born every
wear; which would make more than
100 900 per day and 50 per minute.
The average duration OF life in tho
world, as a whole, is thirty. eight. One
quarter OF the people upon the earth
die before reaching the seventeenth
year. About six OF each 900 persons
born reach the age OF seyenty-iiye
years.
Married people live TO greater age
than the unmarried; temperate people
and workingmen live longer than OK
cessiye eaters and the indolent; and
the people Of civilized nations outlive
the savage races.

A Banking Problem.

j. c. McNaughton, bank inspector of the
Second congressional district, IN his peram-
bulations has run uuon n suag.
Recently he examined bank that showed
au authorized capital stock of S25, 900, and a
paid up capital Of sl2,50O. In the general
examination there was no showing of re.
discounts. All statements were silent as to
this. AT Omaha, however, in casting about
in an official capacity, he found $4,000 OF
paper that had been rediscounted for tho
bank in question. These rediscouuts were
effected under the conditions of certain
bond, entered into by the officers and direc-
tors of the bank, as individuals, guarantee.
ing to protect the paper Mt maturity. This,
the bank claims, changes the liability from
it to the individuals, Notwithstanding the
deal was made for the benefit of the bank.
MIR. McNaughton says he can't see why TINS
is not a liability of the bank, and he ex-
presses the opinion that it ought to thus
show.

exports OF these articles for nine months

The monetary situation In Europe has be-
come more satisfactory; there continues to

strain upon the Bank of England, which
