THE QUESTION OF MONEY.

There are five men in the United States
whose wealth aggregates at least $685.
100000. The same five with five others
possess fully an aggregate wealth Of
$7OO,000,000. There are eighty other
men whose aggregate wealth is S4OO, 00O,-
600, an average of 100000 According
to the estimate made by Mr.. Sherman, of
New York City, there are $1,000 persons
in the United States, including those
just referred to, whose aggregate wealth
amounts TO the sum of S31 500, 900, 600.
Now, as the least or lowest estimate that
the currency of a country should bear to
the aggregate wealth of that country, Is
ten per cent, there should be in this
country currency of no less than $751;
150,000,0 900 to give vitality or proper
mobility to merely the wealth of $4,000
of our richest people. Without suffic-
lent or commensurate relation be-
tween the monetary appliances OF
country and that which IS
known as its wealth the latter
becomes stagnant; it loses verve; shrivels
in volume or magnitude. This, more
over, is habitually the effect of the con-
traction of the currency on values or
wealth. Conversely, expansion is the
weapon with which to fight panic, as
was signally illustrated in England, in
the panic of 1885 when, at the instiga-
ton of Sir Robert Peel, the Bank of
England expanded the currency by an
issue of their notes upon the security of
goods. No panic was ever cured or
palliated by a contraction of the cur
rency of the panic-stricken community.
Pointing the foregoing facts to the
present conditions in this country; it is
enough to add the simple observation
that the experience of others is profitable
to those who use it to profit.

A Chattanooga man killed himself by
drinking pint of whisky. This is most
remarkable. Tennessee lies along side OF
Kentucky and adjoins it for distance of
400 miles.-Emporia Republican.
The force of the observation is lost as
to Kentucky by the circumstances that
the locality mentioned is on the extreme
opposite side of the state from the land
of bourbon. But it is made good, in
point of association, by the fact that
Chattanooga lies inimmediate proximity
to the famous moonshine district of
north Georgia. But as for that, Ten

to producing rifle. whisky. Frhe Robert

down in that country as any of the lead

THE GENIUS OF GALILFE.

Charles II. Kerr C Co., of Chicago,
have published book with the above
title, written by 4. U. Hancock, which
is a story involving the life of Jesus, in
which home conversations not found in
the New Testament are introduced and
many OF the words of Jesus that are
found there are enlarged upon. Some
of the conversations are quite naturally
introduced. but others seem strained and
unnatural We quote one which Jesus
was supposed TO have held with scholar
of the school OF Essences:

A new method of producing artificial
tuel consists of the mixing of ground
cornstalks and spadices with coarse pra,
rie grass. The mixture is made into a
coarse dough by means of water and
vigorous stirring up. The dough is then
put INTO proper molds and exposed TO an
even drying process under high pres
sure. Hereby pieces are produced in
the form and size of briquettes, but
which look green gray. These stones.
when thoroughly dry, are sold as fuel.
They give greater and cheaper heat
than bituminous coal, besides from 90 10
25 per cent cheaper. This suggests an.
other important and profitable industry
for Kansas, as we have the raw material
in the greater abundance and ready
home market for the manufactured pro-
duct.

"a Citizens Alliance movement has
been organized in Kansas" says the
Globe-Democrat, for the purpose of
resisting the unreasonable demands of

it is in full sympathy with the auxiliary

Democrat has the correct idea of the
Citizens movement If we have been

movement is designed to do in municipal

Ii is noticed that in the south there is
developing an idea of the practical in
connection with the sentimental. This
was very forcefully illustrated in laying
the corner stone, in Atlanta, Ga, last
Tuesday, of a monument to the late Henry
w. Grady, the first anniversary of whose
death occurred on that day. The prac-
teal feature in the incident or comment
oration is, that the monument is IN the
shape Of public hospital, and is to be
built by contributions from the friends
and admirers of the dead statesman.
