ESEat the Forthcoming Report of trc
s~-eet Try nf the Ire ssury will Show.
Was1sIxGToN. Nov. 20 The forth
coming report of the Secretary of the
Treasury will contain several tabulated
statements showing as nearly as is
possible the exact amounts of the vari-
GUS kinds of money in actual circula-
zion among the people, at several diff
.fe=ent periods from 1870 to the present
time From these tables it is shown
that during the twenty years from Oc
&ot,c- Z, 1870, to October l, 1890, the
-1otal increase of circulation was over
SIT epi. 00G. making an average in
-;reaEe per month of IS. G32, $50, and an
increase per capita of 81 90 the
total circulation per capita in
1879 being Sl997, and in 1899
S2S SO. During the last ten years the
average monthly increase was s., 966,
993. and the increase per capita 3. 10.
For the period of nine teen months from
MarcI J, 1889, to October 1, 1890 the
aggregate increase of circulation among
the people was 500 sos SID making an
average monthly increase of S4.940 S3S
an increase per capita of about Sl.5O,
whilo for tho CORE ,ponding period from
March 1. 1885, to October 1, 1856 the
aggregate decrease in circulation wa
@S2i, $50, 4S3 and the average monthly de
crease 81, $50, 500, making total differ
ence in favor of the last nineteeG
months of over Sc 900. 900 per month.
-Eor Ghc period of three months
ffroIa July to October 1, 1890, the ag
gregGtc increase in actual use among
the people was SIS. 354, $50, making an
average monthly increase of So, 7S4,
5gS. 1t IS stated that this large in
crease since March 4. 1889, is mainly
due TO the present policy of keeping the
surplus as low as possible by the pur-
chase and redemption of bon 5. thereby
saving interest and restoring the money
TO circulation, while the large decreas"
i'll circulation for the corresponding
period from March T. 1885, to October l
1886, was due to the opposite policy.

enormous tariff taxes for their enrich
ment
The shrewder leaders among them
foresaw a possibility of popular revolt
and planned in advance, as the World
pointed out, to make it inopera ii We.
They had majority of barely two in
the Senate; which this years elections
might destroy. They planned so TO in
crease that majority that no matter
how overwhelmingly the people might
reject and condemn their legislation
they could still hold the Senate for
years to come and thus prevent the
undoing of any thing they had done.
To cOmpliSh this they erected four
Territories into States, by way OF gain
ing eight Senators. One of .ac new
States went Democratic, ana 50 re-
turning board cheated it out of the re-
suit and 4 complaiSant Senate seated
two Republicans. Presently two more
States were created out of sparsely peo-
pied Territories having together less
than 15O OJO inhabitants, thus increas-
ing thoir ma jority in the Senate to four
teen.
But the revolt has been SO sweeping
that the legitimate result is to reduce
the majority to a bare two in spite of
the shameless packing. Plans are on
foot to count out the result so far as
New Hampshire and South Dakota are
concerned, leaving majority of six
instead of two. In any event the ma
iority will be less than the number OF
seats secured by fraudulent packing.
and if there had been no packing thero
would have been a majority the other
way. as the people have done their ut
most to decree.
In the face of so deliberate an at
tempt to deprive the people of their
right to rule, and thus to make leGisla-
tion permanent in spite of the popular
protest, there can be little doubt that
the next general election will complete
the work of overthrow so brilliantly be-
gun in this one-N. y. World.

CURRENT SENTIMENT.

-Whcn asked what State he halls

from where he pleases, and his name is
J. q. B.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
MIR. Harrison Will make the great
est mistake of his life if he does not
send Tom Reed to China instead of Mr..
Adams The Chinese would glue the
broken joss together and just worship
him.-Chicago Times.
That pen with which Mr.. Harrison
signed the Mckinley bill is not SO much
an object of interest to the Republican
party rs it was a few weeks ago. 1t
may have been made from quill
plucked from the traditional anserine
bird that hung high,-Dayton Times.
There is one significant fact con-
nected with the late elections, and that
is tho fact that there is large Demo
cratic majority in the next House from
Northern States alone. If the alleged
together from the Fifty-second Con-
gress there would still be a Democratic
majority of at least twenty. Uysterical
gentlemen, who are given to rantjng
on the Southern question, will do well
to bear this little circums tance in mind.
1t is no longer case of the solid South
holding down divided country. The
Democrats carried the last elections
and could dominate the next House
without calling upon the South at all

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.
The Republican Defeat the Result of In
telligent Thought

The Republican Defeat the Result of In
teIIigent Thought
The more the returns arc studied, the
more clearly does it appear that the
Republicans lost most heavily where
the people are most intelligent and
where the tariff issue was most thor
oughly discussed. The Council Bluffs
Nonparcil, a Stanch Republican news
paper of Iowa, bears important teSti-
mony upon this point. The Congress
sional district in which that city is sit
uated elected Judge Joseph K. Reed
two years ago, before he had voted for
the Mckinley bill, by large majority,
and defeated him a fortnight ago,
after and because he had voted for
that bill In discussing his defeat.
the Nonpareil says: "As the returns
near completion and the result both
locally and at large is known, the ma
ture and cause of Judge Reeds defeat
becomes clear. Ills defeat was in no
sense personals; it was but working
out in this district of the same causes
that operated to effect the most over
wEclning defeat the Republican party
has ever known. The late election was
Il political revolution; it is sharply ac-
centuated in Judge Reeds district be-
cause it is peculiarly a district of intel
ligence and Independent thought
Other districts, less educated, less
active, less inclined to think and judge
for themselves, would have shown
other results" The State OF Massachu-
setts illustrates the same thing on q
larger scale. 1t is State distinguished
for its intelligence, and the political
revolution was sharply accentuated
there. as in the Council Bluffs district

So far as the people have been per-
mitted to express their will they have
decreed that the Fifty second Congress
shall be Democratic in both branches
Their will is in part thwarted by the
deliberate, partisan packing of the
Senate for that express purpose.
When the Republicans found them
selves in complete control OF the Pres
idency and both Houses of Congress
their first concern was to enact legisla-
ton calculated to give them permanent
unfair advantage in elections, to make
away with the surplus which threat
ened to compel a reduction of taxes,
and to reward the contributors to their

FAMOUS LOCKS CLIPPED.

a Washington Barber Whose Customers
Have Been Great Men.
A Washington barber talked as his
scissors clashed about my ears.
Il worked last year a the Normandie
Hotel, where Blaine and his family
were stopping" he began, ''and l fre-
quently had to cut the silvery locks of
the Secretary of State. Blaine had his
hair cut about every two weeks. He
don't care very much as to its looks
himself, but his family watch to see
that every hair is laid even. l cut his
hair in his own rooms, and, as the scis-
sors shipped away. Mrs. Blaine and
James G. Blaine, Jr., stood by
and gave directions. Blaine him
self paid little attention to the
job, and 1 had to go over it again and
again. He did not talk at all, and he is
far different from some other men ]

He likes his hair long, and he talks
while it is being trimmed. / kept Vice
President Hendricks in order when he
was alive, shaved him every morning
and cut his hair once month. l have
cut Joe McDonald's hair, but he is not
very particular. l shaved Abe Lincoln
when he came here to be inaugurated.
He was a very pleasant talker. l used
to shave Andrew johnson some times,
too, and one of the queerest fellows
ever barbered was old Sam Houston.
Houston always shaved himself. He was
too nervous to allow any one else to put a
razor to his face, remember / once came
within an ace of clipping his ear, and
he hoped from the chair, grabbed me
by the hand and 1 thought he was 60
ing to kill me. Then he quieted down
and asked me to be more careful and
took his seat again in the chair. You
bet / was careful, too, for Houston was
not a man to triffe with. He was one
of the queerest dressed men you ever
saw. His coat was one of those steel
pen affairs with brass buttons, he had a
flaming red waist-coat red vest, one of
the old-fashioned high-stock ncckties
and buff pants. He wore a hat as big
as an umbrella, and in the winter he
wore a fancy Indian blanket instead of
an overcoat He had good head of

most carefully watched portions CT the
North American continent during the
past year. These three provinces have
teen aptly termed the granaries and
pastures of Canada. Manitoba has
nearly $4,000, 900 acres of the richest
soil, peculiarly adapted to the growth
of wheat and other cereals. ASSN iboia
has something over 34,000,000 acres of
fat lands specially suitable to mixed
farming, and Alberta has As. 900, ,00C acres
of land as fertile as can be found, vast
expanses of natural pasturage, and
broad districts rich in coal, minerals and
timber. In these three provinces there
is an abundant water supply, furnished
by multitude of lakes, rivers, creeks
and springs, and no portion of tne glo be
can claim q more healthful climaee, nor
one better adapted to the growth of the
finest grades of wheat. or to profitable
agriculture in all it's branches. The
past season was fire Illustration of

In May, 1855, the National Museum
of Brazil came into final possession of
one Of the largest meteoritcs or aero
Gtcs that has ever been known to fall
upon either of the American con ntinents.
The noble specimen weighs 1880
pounds and originally laid embedded in
the ground near Bendege creek, in one
of the most inaccessible portions OF
Brazil The cost Of transporting it
from the place where it first struck
American soil was betrayed by Baron
Greatly. The survey of the route and
preliminary arrangements occupied
three months; its journey to the capital
commenced November 25, 1887, and it
was nearly five months later be-
fore it was finally landed at the little
railroad depot in the Wilderness, from
whence it was transported to Rio
Janeiro. During the four months in
which it was being pulled, pushed and
rolled by man and mule power through
the trackless forests, over stocp mount
aims and sandy wastes, it crossed over
100 streams of all sizes, was taken over
one mountain chain s, 700 feet in height,
besides smaller elevations All of this

only mule paths. A better idea of the
difficulties these scientists encountered
in securing their prize may be had from
a knowledge of the fact that total OF
of 172 days were consumed in moving il
