EXTRACT FROM SENATOR JONES
Speech in the Senate the author
Of the Monetary Report.
WHAT Is MONEY?

The money of country is that
thing. whatever it may be. which is
commonly accepted in exchange for
labor or property or in payment of
debts, whether so accepted by force
OF law, or by universal consent. Its
value does not arise from the intrinsic
qualities which the material of which
1t Is made may possess, but depends
entirely on the extrinsic qualities
which law, or general consent. may
confer.
Money is Of transcendant import
ance to civilization. 1t is the physi-
cal agency to which society has as
signed the function Of measuring all
equities, and it is the sole agency up
on which that Incompatible function
has been conferred. 1t is in terms Of
money that society computes the ma
terial value of all human sacrifice,
alike the highest effort OF genius aud
the daily toll and sweat of the mil
lions who labor.
In order TO measure equitably the
natural and inevitable mutations in
the value Of other things, money
should itself be of unchanging value.
That is to say, any given amount of
money should, SO far as human FORE
sight can regulate it, require at all
times an equal amount of sacrifice
for its acquisition. Thus, in the case
of contract made today, requiring
the payment of dollar twelve
months henpe, that dollar when due
should exact from the debtor precise
~ that amount of sacrifice, and no
more, which would be required had
he paid the debt the day after con-
tracing it.
No one will deny that the most i'm
portant quality that money can pos
sess is that it shall truthfully measure
and state equities.
As have shown by the figures here
tofore cited, gold has risen in value
between 80 and 40 per cent. since the
decentralization of silver. 1t is not
therefore SO faithful measure of
value as is silver, which as illustrated
by variety Of examples, has main
tanned almo st undisturbed its relation
to commodities.
THE VALUE OF MONEY, AS Such, NOT
IN THE MATERIAL But IN THE
STAMP. MONEY Is AN ORDER
FOR PROPERTY AND SER

 A look at the first at once showed dis. crepancies of one or more millimetere un.
 der some of the headings, and, as the bony
 measurements are accurate to millimster, 1t could not be this one. There remained
 one card. NJ. Bertillon took it up, hiding
 the photograph on it.
 All the figures corresponded exactly
 with those just taken of Felix. He was re-
 called and again questioned. He repeated
 his former statements, but obviously with
 less confidence. M. Bertillon uncovered
 the photograph, and there the fellow was to the life as he stood that moment before us. It was most startling. But the original of the photograph, was called Alfred Louis Lemaire, and he hsd been in jail two years before. The cards bore details of certain scars and marks on hand and body; they corresponded exactly
 with those of Felix. Our friend, the de
 tective, edged up and watched the prisoner
 with professional delight. Again questioned, Felix stuck to hi. story, but his composure was gone; his eys
 was troubled, his lips trembled, and tho | muscles of his face rwitched. The photo

CURIOUS nECJSYON

Sometimes law doesn't have the ap- pearance of justice. The Supreme court of Massachusetts has made @ decision which will attract good deal of atten- ton. It is to the effect that steamship company is not liable in damages to a passenger who has been carelessly or un- skilfully treated by the ships surgeon. Every physician is liable for any injury suffered by patient through the formers lack of skill or care. In the case of a ships surgeon this liability would seem to fall upon the company for the reason shat the surgeon is the employe of the company. But the court says no, and adds: The law does not put the business of treating sick passengers into the charge of common carriers. The work which the physician or surgeon does in such cases is under the control of the pas sengers themselves It is their business, not the business of the carrier. They may employ the ships surgeon or some other physician or surgeon who happens to be on board, or they may treat them
 selves if they are sick or may go without treatment if they prefer; and if they em' ploy the surgeon they may determine how
 far they will submit themselves to his directions and what of his medicines they
 will take and what reject, and whether they will submit to a surgical operation O, take the risk of going without it.
 It will be surprising if this decision finds general acceptance in other courts The New York Herald pertinently says The employment of physician, involving
 as it does considerations of life and health
 would seem to be as much the duty of | steamship company as the employment O pilot. This duty is even imposed by | law of congress in the case of steamers car l rying emigrants. It is obvious that sicl passenger must be treated by this physi elan or none at all, unless there happen
 to be doctor among the passengers. Tn passenger has no option in the matter. H
 has a right to expect competent and care full treatment. If he does not get it an thereby suffers in health or body he has
 right to look to the company that provide | the treatment

 we know What heights he might climbed up to, but fer

To-day is Orphans Day. And it is a day which all can cheerfully unite in ob- serving. It makes no difference whether a man belongs to one church or another, is Democrat or Republican, a Consoli- dationist or Anti i-Consolidationist, he can be friend of the orphans without running against any snags, except, per haps, that his desire to help them exceeds his ability. The situation of public orphan, even in charitable and kindly Community like New Haven, is not a very pleasant one. It is not very pleasant to grow up in public institution, with noth- ing to look forward to except being "adopted." But kind hearted men and women are doing the best they can for the unfortunate ones all through the year, and the general public ought to welcome a chance to participate in the good work for at least one day. Many of them do, and as the collectors go about to-day they will see evidence that this is not the selfish world which some pessi- mists call it. It is good day to be generous. The cause is one that appeals to everybody who has right feel ing. Give literally in order that the little folks at the asylum may be properly clothed. warmed and fed.

 News comes from St. Petersburg that 8 community has been established at Vushni Volatchuk. in Russia, with view of put ting into practice some of the social theories which Tolstoi ventilated in the "Kreutzer Sonata" The members call themselves the Perhovtsi. The founder of the sect is 8 rich nobleman, and his associates are all described as persons of intelligence, a term of exceeding elasticity. They all labor as peasants upon the noble mans estate, or hire themselves out to their neighbors, when they combine prose lytization with agriculture. Their pro- fessed creed is that mankind is hopelessly corrupt and ought to be allowed to die out. Therefore, they forbid all sexual relationship, and pass their spare time in expounding the Tolstoi gospel. The au- thorities, naturally, do not bother their heads about the increase of a sect which is chiefly eager for it's own extirpation.
 Won Clausen, Russian engineer, who has devoted much time to experimenting with different methods of constructing stoves, has arrived at some results of de- cidedly novel character. Finding that much free oxygen escapes with the un- burned fuel from chimneys, Won Clausen concludes, contrary to the ordinary theory held in this matter-that less draught and higher combustion are needed in order to obtain perfect combustion, and these he secures in stove three feet high by one foot in diameter, lined with frebrick; only the lower portion of the coal burns, very small current of air being admitted to this and passes upward sufficiently hot to cause its remaining oxygen to unite with the car bon monoxide gas in the upper portion of the coal. The products escaping into the chimney under this arrangement are repre- sented as being colorless and quite cool, and if the results are correctly reported less than three per cent of the possible heat is lost, instead of the eighty or ninety per cent. ordinarily wasted.

Identification by Measure.

A young man, who had been arrested one morning for theft, was called and measured then and there. The process is carried out by two men, one of whom applies the instruments and calls out the figures, which are entered on card by the other, precisely as in tailor's shop, says Cham bers's Journal. The subject is barefooted and bareheaded. Ten measurements are taken in four minutes, together with the height standing, the height sitting, the length of arms extended, the length and breadth of the ear. This finished, NJ. Bertillon, card in hand, interrogated the prisoner:
 "What is your namea" "Albert Felix"
 "Have you sver been up beforel" "No, never" sQuite surea"
 "Perfectly sure," with jaunty conf dence.
 As.the young scoundrel was theleader of band this seemed highly improbable. He was removed and we proceed to the | search Section after section of the draw.
