Shrinkage in Currency.

During the last eight years the
 United States have increased pro- digiously in population and buSi-
 ness, but during that period the amount of money in circulation
 has shrunk several hundred millions
 of dollars. If we only had enough
 money then, we surely have not en-
 ough now. In the one item of Ma
 tional-bank notes alone the shrink
 age has been over $200,000,000. Thus we have the condition of many
 more peoplc-much more business
 and much less money. The value
 of dollar increases. It will buy
 more. It is harder to get. Upon the proposition that the hardship of money scarcity falls heaviest upon the borrowing classes, there can hardly be discussion Neither can there be upon the proposition that the West borrows of the East and is therefore a debtor and a sufferer with debtors. State bonds, county bonds, city bonds, paving, curbing and sewering bonds are all sold in the East and represent indebted ness of the West to the East. The West is full of agents and trust companies that make loans in the West and sell them to Eastern pur- chasers. Our farms and fine build ings are mortgaged in the East. So are our railroads, our water works, and every other big enterprise. The West borrows of the East constant ly. It is therefore interested in pre- venting shrinkage in currency. It is interested in keeping an abun- dance of money in circulation. i Money scarcity is 8 misfortune 10 he West.-Omaha World Herald. |

Rapid Telegraphy.

A Paris correspondent sends the following interesting account of rapid telegraphy over a long dis tance: Some months ago there was arranged a direct telegraphic com munication between London and Rome, working on the Hughes sys- tenn, with relays at Paris, Lyons, Turin and Florence. Its operation since then has been very regular, although accidental disarrange- ments have been somewhat more frequent upon this line, 2,200 kilo- meters long, than upon other short CT lines, Recently experiments have been tried on this line with Wheatstone apparatus, with relays at Paris, Lyons and Turin. It has been possible to secure 120 words a minute between London and Rome, and this speed evidently could be surpassed if the fourth relay was used at Florence so as to divide the Turin-Rome section, which is about $40 kilometres long, into two parts. There is no doubt that a speed of transmission of POO words a min ute would be reached, since this speed has been attained upon the London-Paris section.- Electrical World.

Prices of Cattle and Dressed Beef.

The curious spectacle of declin- ing prices for cattle and unchange- able prices for dressed beef has en- gagged public attention for years. Latterly MT. Vests Senate Commit tee has unearthed some tangible eX- plantations touching the matter, but it has remained for English ac- countants to get the very root of the anomaly. This they have done in the work of examination into the books and contracts of Hammond & Co.,, just previous to the sale of the latter'S business to an English syndicate. The disclosures were in teresting.' It was shown that the net earnings of the firm for a pc riod of three years were $1 ,S61, ,941 on a plant valued at S715,667, but capitalized at S2,475,000. On this
 showing, and by reason of the fact
 that there were "various contracts connected with the businesses as going concerns, which, from the na- ture of the business, it might be in- judicious to publish" securities of the purchasing company to the amount of $6,4O0,OOO were readily taken in London.-Age of Steel.

The Kintograph.

During an hours talk that I had
 yesterday with Edison he told me
 of the Autograph, his new appara-
 tus for reproducing a scene upon
 the stage of a theater, or for any
 other for that matter, of the new improvements upon the phono-
 graph, and ot his process for get
 ting iron from ores heretofore con sidered worthless. The kintograph is a most astonishing affair, which, while extremely simple, may possi- ply become a wonderful adjunct to the photograph. When it is com pleted, and Edison is perfectly con- vinced that it is now merely ques- tion of detail and experiment, it will be possible not only to hear the voice of a person coming from the telephone, but to see the persons face just at the time the words were spoken, with every change of ex- pression, the movement of the lips, etc. If it is reproduction of scene upon the stage, the picture will be seen. the actors moving about and making the proper ges- lures as they speak. It will be a small picture, but it will be perfect ly distinct; and in the case of the head of a person talking to you through the telephone, it will be life size if necessary. The mechan- ism by which this is accomplished is extremely simple, and the thing has been made possible by the dis covery of the instantaneous process of photography, by which animals in motion or a canon ball flying through the air have been photo graphed.-C Correspondence Philadel- phia Times.

Killed by a Rabid Man.

New York, April 16-A recent German newspaper states that a terrible affair has just happened at Walle, near Sollub, in Prussia.
 Three months ago an inhabitant of that place married a very pretty young working woman. The oth- CT night the neighbors were awak.. ened by great noise and prolonged shrieks and groans coming from the room of the newly married couple.
 The next day the door of the room remained shut and a lock smith was eventually sent for. When the door was burst open a horrible spectacle was presented, Covered with blood, with foam upoh his lips, extended on the bed, which was torn and covered with coagu- lated blood, was the bridegroom.
 By his side the wife was sleeping her last sleep. The nose and ears of the unfortunate woman had been bitten off. The chest was horribly disfgured.
 An examination was held and immediately established the fact that the murderer had been bitten a little while before by a mad dog and that rabies had declared itself during the night.
 The man died soon after.

Significant Shrinkage.

The Department of Agriculture
 reporting upon cattle values, states
 that the aggregate value in 1884
 was $1,106,715,703, while the pres ent return shows only 913,777,27O, revealing a shrinkage of S192,938,- 433 in six years, although numeri- cally cattle have increased by more than 10,000,C00 head. This is big difference ard attributable to the depression of prices brought about by the dressed-beef combines. This country hasn't stopped eating beef to any great extent so far as known and the dressed-beef men certainly have not been losing any money. A business which makes from % to 30 per cent on capital is paying pretty we'll, of course, and the shrinkage in cattle values suggests something of the effect of their bear operations in the cattle mar ket. The real profit from cattle is made by the dressed beef men not by the cattle raisers.-Minneapolis JOurno1
The St. Johns herald., 1890-05-01

The Breeders Gazette, Chicago, had in it's last issue the following encouraging item concerning the outlook for cattle:
 Cattle at the yards are from forty to sixty cents per 100 lbs higher than a year ago. Good stockers and feeders, as we'll as good breed ing stock throughout the corn belt, are in far shorter supply than at any time in recent years. The steady growth of our export trade, and the good general buying for eastern accounts, with outside cap ital going into the dressed beef trade, all tend in the direction of a restoration of good competition for all grades. Cattle are looking up" There is no longer room for doubt upon that point.

4 Cowboys Conception of Religion

Lots of folks that would really like to do right, think that servin' the Lord means shoutin' theirselves hoarse praisin' His name. Now, l tell you how I look at that. I'm workin' for Jim here. Now, if I'd set round the house here tellin' what a good feller Jim is, and sing in songs to him and gettin' up in the night to serenade him when he'd rather sleep, I'd be doin' jest like lots of Christians do, but 1 would not suit Jim, and I'd git fired migh- ty quick. But when I buckle on my traps and rustic among the hills and gee that Jim's herd is all right and ain'tsufferin' for water and feed and bein' run off the range and branded by COW thieves, then I'm servin' Jim as he wants to be served. And if was ridin' for the Lord, I'd believe it was his wish that I'd ride out in the ravines of darkness and the hills of sin and keep his herd from bein' branded by the devil and bein' run off to where the feed was short and the drinkin' holes in the cricks all dry, and no cedars and pinyons tor shelter when the bliz- zards come.
 "I don't see how I'd be helpin' the Lord out if 1 jest laid round the ranch eatin' up the grub I could git, and gettin' down On my prayer bones and taffying the Lord up and askin' for more. The Bible says somethin' somewhere-I've got the place marked with the ace of dia- monds-about how people serve the Lord by feedin' and waterin' and lookin' for the herd, and 1 think it would do lots ofpeople good to read it over. When a critter has had his moral nature starved ever since he was a calf, and been let run a hu- man maverick till the devil took after him and put his brand on him so deep that even in the spring, when the hairs longest, it's no trouble to tell whose herd he be- longs to, it shows mighty plain that the COW punchers of the Lord have been huntin' salary harder than they have been huntin' souls. ."-I The Administratrix.

Everywhere preparations are be- ing made to use the electric motor on the street railways. It has proved such an eminent success in every particular, and is so much more economical than either horse or ca ble power, that it is destined to be- come the universal power for street railway service, It is estimatad that anywhere from 10000 to 5OO0O horses now in use will be thrown upon the market, and practically no buyers for them, because there are no places for them to fill.-St. Paul Globe.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s review of the markets for the past week speaks most encouragingly of trade and industry, with the exception of iron. The tonnage in motion throughout the country was larger than for any previous year at this season; a large volume of currency was in circulation larger clearing house payments were made; larger imports and exports were recorded, and there was a larger domestic production in iron and steel, leath- CT, boots and shoes.-Louisville Courier Journal.

The withdrawal of Senator Stan- ford from the presidency of the great Pacific Railroad system, which he has held for nearly twenty-five years, has constituted the principal topic of discussion at San Francis co during the last week. Freed from the heavy duties of the man. agement of the Southern Pacific Company and it's dependencies, the Senator intends to devote his entire energies in future to the welfare of the university which he has estab- lished for the benefit of his fellow citizens.-New York Tribune.

The Straits of Mackinaw are open and navigation has been resumed between lakes Erie and Michigan. The ice is still firm at the "Soo" and vessels are not expected to be able to get out of Lake Superior be- fore the latter part of April. Rail rates, however, have been adjusted to the competition of water and the unequal struggle for buisness along the whole chain of the great lakes has again commenced.-Railway Age.

The favorably outlook for busi- ness which characterized the week before the last continued, and, with the exception of some dullness in the iron trade through excessive output, there IS really nothing to disturb a practically optimistic view of the seasons prospects Minneapolis Journal.

Exports and imports for March at New York indicate smaller ex- ports and larger imports than were anticipated, as compared with last year.This is surprising,in view of the heavy grain movement. It Is prob ably due to a light movement of cotton, a low range of price for breadstuffs, and a decrease in the export of manufactured products. The uncertain character of the sit nation is apparent in conflicting predictions of the export and the import of gold. Philadelphia Press.

Government Operation of Railroads,

WVtCl HiUCHO OpCA CtfVH Ul AdEIA UduS
 A point advanced by those wht
 advocate the ownership and opera
 tion of the railways in the United
 States by the General Government
 Is the economny to result from the
 simplifying of the management
 Now every large company in the country must have its general man.
 ager, with his salary of from S1O,-
 GOO to s35,000 per year. Were the
 Government in control, it is argued,
 the number of these high-salaried
 officials would not only be materi-
 ally reduced, but the pay of each
 would be less. The President of the United States gets but $50,000 per annum, and no other officer under the Government receives any thing like the salaries paid railway officials. Comparisons are taken up
 and extended to show that there could be a great saving in the cost of operation. But if such compar- isons are not odious they are at least irrelevent. The railway man. agers of this country receive S25,- GOO to s35,000 per annum because they are men whose services are worth such sums, and it is a wild fancy that anticipates the possibili- ty of securing a S25,000 man for a 5000 position under the Govern ment. It is fact that ought not to be forgotten, that the ablest men in America are not looking for Government appointments. Un- fortunately, very unfortunately, Un- cle Sam's salary list is too poor to attract the best talent. We do not say, and it must not be inferred, that there are no able men holding positions. But their ability is of an order entirely dis 5inct from that which characterizes lhe successful railway manager. There is supposed to be a certain honor attaching to public office, md this goes far in the estimation of some men to peace out the mea- ger salary which the occupant of he place receives. This, however, s the exception, and those who are influenced by this consideration are ew. It is a delusion to believe hat the Government can secure the services of the best talent in the without paying its value n the open market. The consider ltion, of course, touches but a sim ,le point in the arguments made in avor of Government operation of always, but it is by no means rifing, It is as certain as any event If the future can be, that should ailways pass under Government ontrol, the ablest managers would ind places open and waiting for hem, with large salaries attached, n other lines of endeavor.-Rail- way Register
