The Passage OF the Mckinley Measure In.
sures Republican Success.
| Republican members of the House
have done their work well in the re-
vision OF the tariff and they deserve
credit for the good sense. self-restraint
and excellent discipline with which
| they have supported their leaders and
the committee. Individual exceptions
there were; Mr. Coleman, of Louisiana,
voted against the bill because of the
change on sugar, and few other mem
bers dissented from the committee on
| three amendments which were designed
to render the bill more complete, and
| thus caused their defeat But less dis
| cord in action has rarely if ever been
shown by the majority in the House in
dealing with measure of such char
acter.l nd FL Hals st Et}1Jl 81
The committee on ways and means
was censured by some and derided by
others for Its long delay and hesitation
in preparing this measure. But it was
laboring with care, wisdom and success,
all may now see, to frame bill which
would command the hearty and unwayer-
ing approval of the majority. That ap-
prevail was secured without caucus,
and the triumph of the measure with
out any caucus obligation whatever to
restrain individual action is rightly re-
garded as the best possible answer to
the false assertion so often made by
free traders that there was great dissat-
isfaction among Republican members.
1t need not be added that large share
of the credit is due, and ic given by
foes as we'll as friends, to Chairman Nc
Kinlcy. whose personal leadership on
the floor has proved of incalculable
value. "a
1t pleases the free traders still to re-
sort to Justification about this measure.
Thus it is asserted by some of them
that not one-third of the members Of
the House really approved the bill
This is simply SANDER against men
who voted for the measure under their
obligation as representatives of the
people, and who are more honorable
and truthful than the authors of such
an accusation. Mr. Mcmillan, if cor
rectly reported, asserted that the bill
would raise the amount of duties by
sra 0Oo, 900. He knows beyond possible
question that the measure will reduce
the revenues largely, and while there
may be room for honest doubt whether
the reduction is quite as much as Mr..
Mckinley estimated, about So, OOO,o GOA
no man can honestly pretend that
the revenue would be increased by its
passage.
The passage of the bill was greeted
with great applause BY the Republicans

UNCLE SANS MONEY.
The Largest Greenback, and Good Excuse
For Not Having One.

EOr NOt onts
How many people know how much
there is in this country Of what people
call money" how much in gold and
silver coin, and how much in green
backs and other paper currency bearing
the stamp of the United States Govern
ment? Very few. Inquiry at the
Treasury Department discovers the fact
that there is, all told, just a little over
two billions, or between $50 and $40
apiece for every man, woman and child
in the United States. Of this little
over one-half is in gold and silver coin,
and little less than one-half is in paper
of various kinds. OF the metal money
about two-thirds are in gold, and one
third in silver. OF the paper about one
third is in q. S.. notes or greenbacks,
one-forth in silver certificates one
sixth in gold certificates, one-ifth in
National bank notes, and the remainder
in various denomination
But the g, 600, 900, 900 of United States
currency are not all in circulation.
More than one-third is locked up in the
Treasury uilding, and that is the nor
NAL state of things. One-half of all
the gold and three-fourths of all the sill
yer is locked up in the Treasury. The
circulating medium in use among tn
people is three-fourths paper, the larg-
est volume being in greenbacks. with
silver certificates next then National
bank notes, then gold certificates. But
we would not be doing gold justice If
we did not say that there was more gold
in circulation than any one kind Of
paper.
What disproportion between the
amount of wealth and the amount of
money in the United States! All the
money in the country, including what is
locked up in the Treasury, would not be
sufficient to buy the real estate and the
personal property in the city of Wash
ington.

that, they would not have been so

A SPENDTHRiFTS END.
After Squandering Half a Million He DIE
In Poor-House.

After Squandering Half a Million He Dies
| In q Poor-House.
John Eagan, a second 'Coal-oil John
n.y." and an individual of many eccen-
tricities, died at the Hillside poor-house
not long ago. Eagan was the only son
of Patrick Eagan, who located in the
Lackawanna valley forty years ago.
The father bought forty-acre farm,
which afterward turned out to be a
mint. There was coal underneath, and
one day Eagan received an offer of $500, :
900, which he accepted. He did not live
long to enjoy his fortune, however. The
next year he died and his great wealth
reverted to his son. The latter was
brought up Woodworking boy on the
farm, and his sudden acquisition of
fortune evidently turned his head, as he
took to drinking and carousing and
spending money in a reckless manner.
He thought nothing of spending 500 in
an evenings enjoyment among friends
and boon companions, which he had in
plenty at that time. Many stories were
told of his queer escapades. One of
them was of his riding down Lacka-
night about ten years ago. He was go
ing along leisurely playing on the vio-
lin, on which he was an adept, until he
espied the open door of saloon. He
drove his horse through the opening into
the bar-room, still playing on his favor
lite instrument. He ordered drinks for
the whole crowd, wheeled about and
drove out again. This is only one of
the queer and amusing actions of this
poor unfortunate, who squandered
enough money to keep him.
self and friends living in af-
f1uence for the remainder Of
their lives. One day he went out in the
country and gave farmer 81, 900 to set
fire to his barn. He said he wanted to
see the hay and straw burn. On another
occasion he gave 500 to Ted McNulty to
let him punch him in the eyes until they
were black. One Fourth of July he got
tired waiting for regular train to carry
him twenty-eight miles. He paid the
railroad management 5000 for special
train to carry him to his destination.
When the Mollie McGuires were con-
demned to the gallows Eagan went to
Harrisburg with certified check for
500, 900 and offered 1t to Governor Hart
ranft il he would pardon the Mollies.
He had two locomotives built at ma
chine shop and had them shipped to his
farm. He built track 800 feet long,
and after both engines got up good
head of steam he caused the two throt-
ties to be opened. The two engines
came together with a great crash.
Eagan said the sight of seeing them
come together was worth what they cost.
The locomotives were of no use after
wards. When his money was all gone
Eagan was pitiable sight. His clothes
were ragged and no shoes adorned his
feet. No one recognized him, despite
the fact that in his days of prosperity
he helped many poor family in their
struggle with the world. His remains
now repose in the little plot of ground
back Of the poor house without any mark
or sign to tell who slumhers in the
newly-made grave.-Wilkesbarre pa

Hon. Ralph Abercromby, who has sue

ocean waves by floating sensitive

in gauging their width and velocity by
